Luke 8
1 Shortly afterwards, Jesus went on a journey through the towns and villages, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of God. With him went the Twelve,
Apre sa, Jezi mache ale nan tout lavil yo ak nan tout bouk yo. Li t'ap mache bay mesaj la, li t'ap anonse bon nouvèl peyi kote Bondye Wa a. Douz disip yo te toujou avè li.
2 as well as some women who had been cured of wicked spirits and of infirmities. They were Mary, known as Mary of Magdala (from whom seven demons had been expelled),
Te gen kèk fanm avè l' tou. Se moun li te wete move lespri sou yo, li te geri maladi yo. Te gen Mari (yo te rele moun Magdala a). Jezi te wete sèt move lespri sou li.
3 and Joanna (the wife of Herod’s steward, Chuza), and Susannah, and many others — all of whom ministered to Jesus and his Apostles out of their means.
Te gen Jan, madanm Chouza, yonn nan jeran Ewòd yo. Te gen Sizan ak anpil lòt ankò. Yo tout yo t'ap ede Jezi ansanm ak disip li yo ak sa yo te genyen.
4 Once, when a great crowd was collecting, and, when the people of town after town were flocking to Jesus, he spoke to them in the form of a parable:
Lè sa a, te gen yon gwo foul moun ki te sanble; moun te soti nan divès vil vin bò kot Jezi. Li pran rakonte yo parabòl sa a:
5 “The sower went out to sow his seed; and, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path and was trodden upon; and the wild birds ate it up.
Yon nonm soti pou li ale simen grenn nan jaden li. Pandan l' t'ap simen grenn yo, kèk grenn tonbe bò chemen an: Pye pile yo, zwezo nan syèl vini, yo manje yo.
6 Other seed fell upon rock, and, as soon as it began to grow, having no moisture, withered away.
Yon pati tonbe nan mitan wòch; grenn yo leve. Men, yo cheche paske yo pa t' jwenn tè fre.
7 Other seed fell in the middle of brambles, but the brambles grew up with it and choked it entirely.
Yon lòt pati tonbe nan mitan pye pikan. Pye pikan yo grandi ansanm ak bon ti plant yo, yo toufe yo.
8 Other seed fell into rich soil, and grew, and gave a hundred-fold return.” After saying this, Jesus cried aloud: “Let him who has ears to hear with hear.”
Men, yon lòt pati ankò tonbe nan bon tè. Plant yo leve, yo donnen: yo bay san (100) pou yonn. Lè l' fin di sa, li di ankò: Si nou gen zòrèy pou n' tande, tande.
9 His disciples asked Jesus the meaning of this parable.
Disip li yo mande l' kisa parabòl sa a vle di.
10 “To you,” he said, “the knowledge of the hidden truths of the Kingdom of God has been imparted, but to others in parables only, that ‘though they have eyes they may not see, and though they have ears, they may not understand.’
Li reponn yo: Pou nou, yo fè nou konnen tout sekrè peyi kote Bondye Wa a. Men, pou lòt moun yo, yo ba yo l' an parabòl; konsa yo mèt gade, yo p'ap wè, yo mèt tande, yo p'ap konprann.
11 This is the parable — The seed is God’s Message.
Men sa parabòl sa a vle di: Grenn y'ap simen an se pawòl Bondye.
12 By the seed which fell along the path are meant those who hear the Message; but then comes the Devil and carries away the Message from their minds, to prevent their believing it and being saved.
Gen moun ki sanble ak tè bò chemen kote grenn yo tonbe a. Yo tande, men Satan vini, li rache pawòl la nan kè yo pou yo pa kwè, pou yo pa sove.
13 By the seed which fell upon the rock are meant those who, as soon as they hear the Message, welcome it joyfully; but they have no root, and believe it only for a time, and, when the time of temptation comes, they draw back.
Gen lòt moun ki sanble tè ki gen anpil wòch la. Yo tande pawòl la, yo resevwa l' ak kè kontan; men yo pa kite l' pouse rasin, yo pa kwè l' pou lontan. Lè eprèv tonbe sou yo, yo vire do bay Bondye.
14 By that which fell among the brambles are meant those who hear the Message, but who, as they go on their way, are completely choked by this world’s cares and wealth and pleasures, and bring nothing to perfection.
Grenn ki tonbe nan mitan pikan yo, se moun ki tande pawòl la, men lè y al fè wout yo, yo kite traka lavi, richès ak plezi ki nan lavi toufè l'. Yo donnen men donn yo pa janm rive rèk.
15 But by that in the good ground are meant those who, having heard the Message, keep it in the good, rich soil of their hearts, and patiently yield a return.
Grenn ki tonbe nan bon tè a, se moun ki sensè, ki gen bon kè, ki tande pawòl la, yo kenbe l' nan kè yo. Yo toujou rete fèm jouk yo donnen.
16 No man sets light to a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or puts it underneath a couch, but he puts it on a lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
Pesonn pa limen yon lanp pou l' kouvri l' anba yon mamit, osinon pou l' mete l' anba yon kabann. Li mete l' sou yon etajè. Konsa, moun k'ap antre yo kapab wè limyè a.
17 Nothing is hidden which will not be brought into the light of day, not ever kept hidden which will not some day become known and come into the light of day.
Nanpwen anyen ki kache ki p'ap devwale, nanpwen sekrè pou moun pa rive konnen, ki p'ap parèt aklè.
18 Take care, then, how you listen. For, to all those who have, more will be given; while, from all those who have nothing, even what they seem to have will be taken away.”
Se poutèt sa, fè atansyon jan n'ap tande pawòl la. Paske, moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò. Men, moun ki pa gen anyen an, y'a wete nan men l' menm ti sa l' te kwè li te genyen an.
19 Presently Jesus’ mother and brothers came where he was, but they were not able to join him on account of the crowd.
Manman Jezi ak frè l' yo te vin kote li. Men, yo pa t' kapab rive pre li akòz foul moun yo.
20 So word was brought to him — ‘Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’
Moun yo di l' konsa: Men manman ou ak frè ou yo deyò a. Yo anvi wè ou.
21 His reply, spoken to them all, was: “My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God’s teaching and do what it bids.”
Men, Jezi di yo tout: Manman m' ak frè m', se moun ki koute pawòl Bondye a epi ki fè sa pawòl la di.
22 One day about that time, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them: “Let us go across the lake.”
Yon jou, Jezi moute nan yon kannòt ak disip li yo. Li di yo: Ann janbe lòt bò letan an. Lamenm yo pati.
23 So they put off. While they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A squall swept down upon the lake, and their boat was filling and they were in danger.
Pandan yo t'ap navige, dòmi pran Jezi. Yon gwo van vin leve sou letan an, dlo kòmanse plen kannòt la, kifè lavi yo tout te an danje.
24 So the disciples came and roused him. “Sir, Sir,” they cried, “we are lost!” Jesus rose and rebuked the wind and the rushing waves, and they fell, and a calm followed.
Yo pwoche bò kot Jezi yo souke l', yo di li: Mèt, Mèt, se mouri n'ap mouri wi! Jezi leve, li pale byen fò ak van an ansanm ak lanm lanmè yo: tout bagay vin byen trankil, yon gwo kalmi fèt.
25 “Where is your faith?” he exclaimed. But in great awe and amazement they said to one another: “Who can this be, that he commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey him?”
Epi Jezi di yo: Kote konfyans nou ye? Men, yo te pè, yo te sezi. Yonn t'ap di lòt konsa: Ki moun li ye menm? Li kòmande menm van ak lanmè, yo obeyi li.
26 And they reached the country of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite side to Galilee;
Yo fè tè nan peyi Jerazenyen yo ki lòt bò letan an, vizaviz ak Galile.
27 and, on getting ashore, Jesus met a man, who had demons in him, coming out of the town. For a long time this man had worn no clothing, and he had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.
Jezi desann atè. Lamenm yon nonm lavil la vin devan l': nonm lan te gen anpil move lespri sou li. Depi lontan li pa t' janm vle mete rad sou li, ni li pa t' vle rete nan ankenn kay, se nan mitan tonm mò yo li t'ap viv.
28 Catching sight of Jesus, he shrieked out and threw himself down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you not to torment me.”
Lè l' wè Jezi, li bay yon gwo rèl, li lage kò l' atè devan Jezi, li pran pale byen fò, li di li konsa: Kisa m' gen avè ou, Jezi, Pitit Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la? Tanpri souple, pa fè m' soufri.
29 For Jesus was commanding the foul spirit to come out from the man. On many occasions it had seized him, and, even when secured with chains and fetters, and watched, he would break through anything that bound him, and be driven by the demon into the Wilds.
Li te pale konsa paske Jezi te pase move lespri a lòd pou li soti sou nonm lan. Anpil fwa, lespri a te vin sou li: lè konsa, yo te konn mare tou de men l' ak tou de pye l' ak chenn pou l' pa t' kouri. Men, li te jwenn mwayen pete chenn yo epi move lespri a te mennen l' ale nan dezè.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he answered (for many demons had taken possession of him);
Jezi mande li: Ki jan ou rele? Li reponn: Yo rele m' Rejiman. Li di sa paske se anpil move lespri ki te sou nonm lan.
Lespri yo t'ap mande Jezi: Tanpri souple, pa voye n' ale nan gwo twou san fon an. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a drove of many pigs close by feeding upon the hill-side; and the demons begged Jesus to give them leave to enter into them. Jesus gave them leave.
Sou ti mòn lan te gen yon bann kochon ki t'ap chache manje pou yo manje. Move lespri yo pran mande Jezi: Tanpri souple, kite nou antre nan kochon sa yo. Jezi ba yo pèmisyon sa a.
33 They came out from the man and took possession of the pigs; and the drove rushed down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
Lè sa a, move lespri yo soti sou nonm lan, yo antre nan kochon yo. Lamenm tout bann kochon yo pran degrengole desann bò falèz la, y' al neye tèt yo nan letan an.
34 When the men who tended them saw what had happened, they ran away, and carried the news to the town, and to the country round.
Moun ki t'ap gade kochon yo, lè yo wè sak te rive, yo pran kouri, yo gaye nouvèl la nan lavil la kou andeyò.
35 The people went out to see what had happened, and, when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at Jesus’ feet; and they were awe-struck.
Moun soti pou y' al wè sak te pase. Lè yo rive kote Jezi te ye a, yo jwenn nonm lan: move lespri yo te soti sou li, li te chita nan pye Jezi byen abiye ak tout bon sans li sou li. Yo tout te pè.
36 Those who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been delivered;
Moun ki te asiste bagay la mete rakonte yo ki jan nonm ki te gen move lespri sou li a te geri.
37 upon which all the people in the neighbourhood of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, for they were terrified. Jesus got into a boat and returned.
Lè sa a, tout moun nan peyi Jerazenyen yo mande Jezi pou li al fè wout li kite peyi a, paske yo te pè anpil. Jezi moute nan kannòt la pou l' ale.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus to let him be with him; but Jesus sent him away.
Nonm ki te gen move lespri soti sou li a mande l' pou li ale avèk li tou. Men, Jezi voye l' ale, li di li:
39 “Go back to your home,” he said, “and relate the story of all that God has done for you.” So the man went through the whole town and proclaimed, as he went, all that Jesus had done for him.
Tounen lakay ou; al rakonte tou sa Bondye fè pou ou. Nonm lan pati, li mache fè konnen tou sa Jezi te fè pou li nan tout lavil la.
40 On his return, Jesus was welcomed by the people; for everyone was looking out for him.
Lè Jezi tounen lòt bò letan an, yon foul moun resevwa l', paske tout moun t'ap tann li.
41 And a man named Jaeirus, who was a President of the Synagogue, came to Jesus, and threw himself at Jesus’ feet, with entreaties that he would come to his house,
Yon nonm yo rele Jayiris vin rive. Se li ki te chèf sinagòg la. Li lage kò l' nan pye Jezi, li mande li: Tanpri souple, ann al lakay.
42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus was going, the people were pressing closely round him.
Mwen gen yon tifi douzan ki sèl pitit fi m', mwen kite l' prèt pou mouri. Pandan Jezi tapral lakay Jayiris, yon foul moun t'ap kwense l' toupatou.
43 And a woman, who had suffered from haemorrhage for twelve years, and whom no one could cure,
Te gen yon fanm nan foul moun yo ki te malad: Depi douzan li t'ap pèdi san. Li te fin depanse tout byen l' kay dòktè, san yo yonn pa t' kapab geri li.
44 came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak. Instantly the haemorrhage ceased.
Li pwoche pa dèyè, li manyen ke rad Jezi. Latou, san an rete.
45 “Who was it that touched me?” Jesus asked; and, while everyone was denying having done so, Peter exclaimed: “Why, Sir, the people are crowding round you and pressing upon you!”
Jezi mande: Ki moun ki manyen m' lan? Tout moun pran di se pa yo. Lè sa a, Pyè di li: Men, Mèt, se nan mitan yon foul moun ou ye, moun ap kwense ou tout jan.
46 “Somebody touched me,” said Jesus; “for I felt that power had gone out from me.”
Men, Jezi reponn li: Mwen di ou gen yon moun ki manyen m', paske mwen santi yon fòs soti sou mwen.
47 Then the woman, when she saw that she was discovered, came forward trembling, and threw herself down before him; and, in the presence of all the people, she told him her reason for touching him, and that she had been cured instantly.
Lè sa a, fanm lan wè yo te dekouvri l', li pran tranble kou yon fèy bwa, li vin lage kò l' nan pye Jezi, li pran rakonte devan tout pèp la poukisa li te manyen l', ki jan li te geri menm lè a tou.
48 “Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you.”
Jezi di li: Mafi, se konfyans ou nan Bondye ki geri ou; ale ak kè poze.
49 Before he had finished speaking, some one came from the house of the President of the Synagogue and said: “Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Teacher further.”
Jezi t'ap pale toujou lè yon nonm soti lakay chèf sinagòg la vin di li: Tifi ou la mouri; ou pa bezwen deranje mèt la pase sa.
50 But Jesus, hearing this, spoke to the President: “Do not be afraid; only have faith, and she shall yet be delivered.”
Men, lè Jezi tande sa, li di Jayiris konsa: Pa pè. Sèlman, met konfyans ou nan mwen, pitit la va geri.
51 When he reached the house, he did not allow any one to go in with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother.
Lè Jezi rive lakay la, li pa kite tout moun yo antre ak li. Li pran Pyè, Jan, Jak epi papa ak manman pitit la.
52 And every one was weeping and mourning for her. “Do not weep,” Jesus said, “she is not dead; she is asleep.”
Tout moun t'ap kriye, yo t'ap plenn lanmò pitit la. Jezi di yo: Pa kriye. Pitit la pa mouri, se dòmi l'ap dòmi.
53 They began to laugh at him, for they knew that she was dead.
Lè sa a, yo tonbe pase l' nan betiz paske yo te konnen tifi a fin mouri.
54 But, taking her by the hand, Jesus said in a loud voice: “Child, rise!”
Men, Jezi pran men pitit la, li pale byen fò, li di konsa: Tifi, leve.
55 The child’s spirit returned to her, and she instantly stood up; and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat.
Lespri tifi a tounen sou li ankò, menm lè a li leve. Jezi pase lòd pou yo ba l' manje.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus impressed on them that they were not to tell any one what had happened.
Papa ak manman tifi a te sezi anpil, men Jezi bay yo lòd pou yo pa di pesonn sak te pase.
