Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass when Jesus finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Lè Jésus te fin bay enstriksyon a douz disip Li yo, Li te kite kote sa a pou enstwi e preche nan vil pa yo.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
Alò, lè Jean, depi nan prizon an, te tande tout zèv ke Kris la t ap fè yo. Konsa, li te voye yon mesaj pa disip Li yo.
3 he said to him, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?
Li te mande L: “Èske Ou se Sila ke nou t ap tann nan, oubyen èske nou bezwen tann yon lòt?”
4 And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye hear and see:
Jésus te reponn yo e te di: “Ale fè rapò a Jean selon tout sa nou tande e wè:
5 the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor are proclaimed good news.
Avèg yo vin wè, sila ki t ap bwate yo vin mache dwat, lepre yo vin pirifye, soud yo vin tande, mò yo vin resisite, e malere yo tande bòn nouvèl la.
6 And blessed is he, whoever will not be caused to stumble by me.
Beni se sila ki pa chite akoz Mwen menm nan.”
7 And while those men departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes about John, What did ye go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
Pandan mesye sa yo, disip a Jean Baptiste yo t ap prale, Jésus te kòmanse pale avèk foul la konsènan Jean: “Kisa nou te ale wè nan savann nan? Yon wozo ki souke pa van?
8 But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in delicate clothes? Behold, those wearing delicate things are in king's houses.
Men kisa nou te ale wè? Yon nonm abiye ak rad ki swa? Sila ki mete rad swa yo rete nan palè a wa yo.
9 But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Men kisa nou te sòti pou wè? Yon pwofèt? Wi, Mwen di nou e se youn ki plis ke yon pwofèt.
10 For this is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my agent before thy face who will prepare thy way before thee.
Se selon sila menm ke pwofèt yo te ekri: Gade byen! Mwen voye mesaje Mwen an devan fas nou, ki va prepare chemen an devan nou.”
11 Truly I say to you, among men born of women there has not been raised a greater than John the immerser. Yet the smaller in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
Anverite Mwen di nou, pami sila ki fèt pa fanm yo, pa janm leve youn ki pi gran ke Jean Baptiste; malgre sa, sila ki pi piti nan wayòm syèl la, pi gran pase li.
12 And from the days of John the immerser until now the kingdom of the heavens is treated aggressively, and aggressors seize it.
Depi jou a Jean Baptiste yo jis rive kounye a, wayòm syèl la ap soufri vyolans, e lòm vyolan yo pran li pa lafòs.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Paske tout pwofèt yo ansanm ak Lalwa a te pwofetize jiska Jean.
14 And if ye are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is going to come.
Konsa, si nou kapab aksepte l, se li menm ki Elie, sila ki te genyen pou vini an.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Sila ki gen zòrèy pou tande, kite l tande.
16 But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, calling to their companions,
“Men a kisa Mwen kapab konpare jenerasyon sila a? Li tankou timoun ki chita nan mache a, k ap rele lòt timoun
17 and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not beat the breast.
pou di: ‘Nou te jwe flit pou nou, e nou pa t danse. Nou te chante yon antèman, e nou pa t kriye’.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
Paske Jean te vini san manje ni bwè, e yo di: ‘Li gen yon move lespri’!
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom is justified from her children.
Men Fis a Lòm nan te vini avèk manje e avèk bwè, e yo di: ‘Gade, li manje twòp, li bwè twòp, e li fè zanmi avèk moun biwo kontribisyon an, ak pechè yo!’ Men sajès la toujou jistifye pa zanfan li yo.”
20 Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works occurred, because they did not repent.
Li te kòmanse repwoche vil kote pi fò mirak yo te fèt yo, paske yo pa t repanti.
21 Woe to thee, Chorazin! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works that occurred in you occurred in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Malè a ou menm, Chorazin! Malè a ou menm, Bethsaïda! Si mirak ki te fèt nan nou yo, te fèt nan Tyr ak Sidon, yo t ap gen tan repanti lontan avèk rad sak ak sann.
22 Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
Malgre sa Mwen di nou, l ap pi tolerab pou Tir ak Sidon nan jou jijman an pase pou nou menm.
23 And thou, Capernaum, which was exalted as far as the sky. Thou will be brought down as far as Hades, because if the mighty works had occurred in Sodom that occurred in thee, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
Epi nou menm, Capernaüm; nou p ap monte nan syèl la! Nou konnen sa? Nou ap desann nan Lanfè. Paske si mirak ki te fèt nan nou yo, te fèt nan Sodome; yo ta toujou la jodi a. (Hadēs g86)
24 Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Malgre sa, Mwen di nou ke li va pi tolerab pou peyi Sodome nan jou jijman an pase pou nou menm.
25 Jesus having responded at that time, said, I extol thee, O Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, because thou hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to the childlike.
Nan lè sa a, Jésus te reponn. Li te di: “Mwen bay Ou glwa, O Papa, Senyè syèl la ak tè a, ke Ou kache bagay sa yo pou saj avèk entèlijan yo pa wè, e Ou te montre yo menm a zanfan yo.
26 Yea, Father, because this way it was done pleasing in thy sight.
Wi Papa, konsa sa te fè plezi nan zye Ou.
27 All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows the Son, except the Father, nor does any man know the Father, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.
Papa M fin lonje ban Mwen tout bagay. Pèsòn pa konnen Fis la, sof Papa a; ni pèsòn pa konnen Papa a, sof ke Fis La, ak nenpòt moun ke Fis La vle revele Li menm.
28 Come to me, all ye who labor and have been burdened, and I will give you rest.
“Vini a Mwen menm, tout sila yo ki fatige, k ap pote chaj lou, e M ap bannou repo. Aprann de Mwen menm; paske Mwen dous e enb nan kè, e Mwen va bay nou repo.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye will find rest for your souls.
Pran jouk mwen sou nou, e vin aprann de Mwen menm, paske Mwen dous e enb nan kè; e nou va jwenn repo pou nanm nou.
30 For my yoke is befitting, and my burden is light.
Paske jouk Mwen an dous, e chaj Mwen an lejè.”
