Matthew 11
1 When Yeshua had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and proclaim in their cities.
Lè Jezi fin bay douz disip li yo tout lòd sa yo, li kite kote li te ye a, li pati, li ale nan lòt lavil peyi a. Li t'ap mache bay mesaj la, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay.
2 Now when Yochanan heard in the prison the works of Messiah, he sent two of his disciples
Antan Jan Batis te nan prizon, li tande pale travay Kris la t'ap fè. Li voye kèk patizan pa l' ale mande Jezi:
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
Eske se ou ki moun nou konnen ki gen pou vini an, osinon èske nou dwe tann yon lòt?
4 Yeshua answered them, “Go and tell Yochanan the things which you hear and see:
Jezi reponn yo: Ale rakonte bay Jan sa nou tande ak sa nou wè:
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Je avèg yo louvri, moun ki t'ap bwete yo mache byen, moun ki te gen maladi lalèp yo geri, moun ki te soudè yo tande, moun ki te mouri yo leve. Pòv yo tande Bon Nouvèl la.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Benediksyon pou moun ki pa jwenn nan mwen okazyon pou tonbe nan peche.
7 As these went their way, Yeshua began to say to the multitudes concerning Yochanan, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Lè patizan Jan yo al fè wout yo, Jezi pran pale ak foul la sou Jan. Li di yo konsa: Sa nou te al wè nan dezè a? Yon pye wozo van t'ap souke? Non.
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
Men, kisa nou te al wè menm? Yon nonm abiye ak bèl rad? Ala, moun ki mete bèl rad, se kay wa a yo jwenn yo.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Manyè di m' kisa nou te al wè menm? Yon pwofèt? Wi, mwen menm mwen di nou: li pi plis pase yon pwofèt.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
Men sa ki te ekri sou Jan: Men m'ap voye mesaje m' lan devan ou. Li va louvri chemen an devan pou ou.
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than Yochanan the Immerser; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Nan tout moun ki fèt sou latè pa gen yonn ki pi konsekan pase Jan Batis. Malgre sa, moun ki pi piti nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, pi konsekan pase l'.
12 From the days of Yochanan the Immerser until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Depi sou tan Jan Batis jouk jòdi a, Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la anba gwo goumen. Se moun ki konn goumen k'ap antre ladan l'.
13 For all the Prophets and the Torah prophesied until Yochanan.
Anvan Jan Batis te rive, tout pwofèt yo ansanm ak lalwa Moyiz la te pale sou Peyi Bondye a.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
Si nou vle kwè l': Jan Batis se Eli ki te gen pou vini an.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Si nou gen zòrèy pou n' tande, tande.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
Ak ki moun mwen ta konpare moun k'ap viv nan tan alèkile yo? Yo sanble timoun ki chita sou plas piblik, yonn ap rele lòt pou di l' konsa:
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
Nou jwe mizik cho pou nou ak fif nou, nou pa danse. Nou chante chante ki tris pou nou, nou pa kriye.
18 For Yochanan came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
Jan Batis vini, li pa manje, li pa bwè, yo di li gen yon move lespri sou li.
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen vini, mwen manje, mwen bwè, yo di: Gade yon nonm! Se manje ak bwè ase li konnen! Se zanmi pèseptè kontribisyon ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal li ye! Men tou, lè nou wè rezilta sa Bondye fè, nou rekonèt se li menm nan bon konprann li ki gen rezon.
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
Lè sa a, Jezi pran fè moun lavil kote l' te fè pifò mirak li yo repwòch, paske yo pa t' tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Li di yo: Malè pou nou, moun lavil Korazen! Malè pou nou moun lavil Betsayda! Paske, si mirak ki fèt nan mitan nou yo, se nan mitan lavil Tir ak lavil Sidon yo te fèt, gen lontan moun sa yo ta mete rad sak sou yo. Yo ta kouvri kò yo ak sann dife pou fè wè yo vle tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Se poutèt sa m'ap di nou: Jou jijman an, y'a peni nou pi rèd pase moun lavil Tir ak moun lavil Sidon yo.
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Sheol. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today. (Hadēs g86)
Nou menm tou, moun lavil Kapènawòm: nou ta vle yo leve nou jouk nan syèl la? Enben, y'a desann nou jouk anba kote mò yo ye a. Paske, si mirak ki fèt nan mitan nou yo, se nan mitan lavil Sodòm yo te fèt, li ta la jouk jòdi a. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
Se poutèt sa m'ap di nou: Jou jijman an, y'a peni nou pi rèd pase moun lavil Sodòm yo.
25 At that time, Yeshua answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
Lè sa a, Jezi di: O Papa, ou menm ki mèt syèl la ak tè a, mwen di ou mèsi anpil dapre bagay ou te kache nan je gwo save ak moun lespri yo ou devwale yo bay ti piti yo.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Wi, Papa mwen, sa pase konsa paske se konsa ou te vle li.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
Papa m' renmèt mwen tout bagay. Pesonn pa konn kilès moun Pitit la ye, esepte Papa a. Konsa tou, pesonn pa konn kilès moun Papa a ye, esepte Pitit la, ak moun Pitit la vle fè konnen li.
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Vini jwenn mwen, nou tout ki bouke, nou tout ki anba chay, m'a soulaje nou.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
Pran jouk mwen, mete l' sou zepòl nou. Pran leson nan men mwen. Paske mwen dou, mwen toujou soumèt mwen tout bon devan Bondye. Konsa, n'a viv ak kè poze.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Paske, jouk m'ap ban nou an fasil pou pote, chay m'ap ban nou an pa lou.
