Matthew 12
1 At that time, Yeshua went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
Kèk jou apre sa, Jezi t'ap pase nan yon jaden ble. Se te yon jou repo. Disip li yo te grangou. Se konsa yo pran keyi grap ble, yo t'ap manje grenn yo.
2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”
Lè farizyen yo wè sa, yo di l' konsa: Gade. Disip ou yo ap fè bagay lalwa nou pa pèmèt moun fè gwo jou repo.
3 But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
Jezi reponn yo: Eske nou pa li sa David te fè yon jou li te grangou, li menm ak moun pa l' yo?
4 how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
Li antre nan kay Bondye a, li pran pen yo te ofri bay Bondye a, li manje. Dapre lalwa nou an, ni li menm David ni moun ki te avè l' yo pa t' gen dwa manje pen sa yo. Se prèt yo sèlman ki gen dwa sa a.
5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
Osinon, èske nou pa li sa ki ekri nan lalwa Moyiz la: Jou repo, prèt yo ki desèvis nan tanp lan pa respekte lalwa repo a, men yo pa koupab pou sa?
6 But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
Enben, m'ap di nou sa: Isit la, gen yon bagay ki pi konsekan pase tanp lan.
7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
Si nou te konnen sans pawòl sa yo ki nan Liv la: Mwen vle pou nou gen kè sansib, mwen pa bezwen ofrann bèt n'ap fè pou mwen yo, nou pa ta kondannen moun ki inonsan.
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Paske, mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, se mèt jou repo a mwen ye.
9 He departed from there and went into their synagogue.
Jezi kite kote l' te ye a, li antre nan yonn nan sinagòg yo.
10 And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so that they might accuse him.
Te gen yon nonm ki te gen yon men pòk nan asanble a. Moun ki te la yo t'ap chache okasyon pou yo te ka di Jezi fè bagay ki mal. Se konsa yo mande l': Eske lalwa nou an pèmèt yo geri moun jou repo?
11 He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it and lift it out?
Jezi reponn yo: Si yonn nan nou gen yon sèl mouton, si mouton sa a tonbe nan yon twou byen fon yon jou repo, èske li p'ap rale l' mete deyò?
12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
Bon. Eske yon moun pa vo pi plis pase yon mouton? Konsa nou wè, lalwa nou an pèmèt nou fè byen pou yon moun jou repo.
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
Lè sa a, li di nonm lan: Lonje men ou. Nonm lan lonje men li. Latou, men an vin byen tankou lòt la.
14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
Farizyen yo soti nan sinagòg la, y al mete tèt yo ansanm pou wè ki jan pou yo fè touye Jezi.
15 Yeshua, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
Men, lè Jezi vin konn sa, li kite kote l' te ye a. Yon gwo foul moun t'ap mache deyè li. Li geri tout moun malad yo.
16 and commanded them that they should not make him known,
Men, li te pale sevè ak yo pou yo pa t' di ki moun li te ye.
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Tou sa pase konsa, pou pawòl pwofèt Ezayi te di a te ka rive vre:
18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
Bondye pale, li di konsa: Men sèvitè m' lan, se mwen menm ki chwazi li. Men moun mwen renmen anpil la. Li fè kè m' kontan anpil. m'a mete Lespri m' sou li, la fè tout nasyon yo konnen jijman mwen.
19 He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
Li p'ap diskite ak pèsonn, li p'ap rele sou pèsonn. Yo p'ap janm tande l' fè diskou nan lari.
20 He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
Li p'ap fin kase pye wozo ki panche a. Li p'ap tenyen lanp ki prèt pou mouri a. L'ap fè sa konsa, jouk tan li va fè jistis Bondye a kanpe nèt.
21 In his name, the nations will hope.”
Lè sa a, tout nasyon yo va mete espwa yo nan li.
22 Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
Apre sa, yo mennen yon nonm bay Jezi. Nonm lan pa t' ka wè, li pa t' ka pale, paske li te gen yon move lespri sou li. Jezi geri nonm lan. Lamenm, nonm lan pale, li wè.
23 All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”
Foul moun yo te sezi anpil. Yo t'ap di: Nou pa kwè se pitit David la sa?
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
Lè farizyen yo tande sa, yo di: Si nou wè nonm sa a ap chase move lespri, se paske Bèlzeboul, chèf move lespri yo, ba l' pouvwa pou sa.
25 Knowing their thoughts, Yeshua said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
Men, Jezi te konnen sa ki te nan tèt yo, li di yo: Yon peyi ki gen divizyon ladan l', pou moun yo ap goumen yonn ak lòt, peyi sa a la pou l' disparèt. Si gen divizyon nan yon lavil osinon nan yon fanmi, pou moun yo ap fè lagè yonn ak lòt, ni lavil sa a, ni fanmi sa a pa la pou lontan.
26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Si Satan ap chase moun ki pou li yo, Satan ap goumen ak pwòp tèt li. Pouvwa Satan an pa la pou lontan.
27 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
Si se Bèlzeboul ki ban m' pouvwa pou chase move lespri, patizan nou yo, ak ki pouvwa yo menm yo chase move lespri? Se poutèt sa, se yo menm menm k'ap ban nou tò.
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
Men, si se avek Lespri Bondye m'ap chase move lespri yo, sa vle di pouvwa Gouvènman Bondye ki wa a gen tan rive sou nou.
29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.
Pesonn pa ka antre lakay yon nonm vanyan pou vòlò byen l' yo, si li pa mare nonm vanyan an anvan. Lè li fin mare l', se atò la kapab piye kay la.
30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters.
Moun ki pa avèk mwen, se kont mwen yo ye. Moun ki p'ap ede m' ranmase, se gaye y'ap gaye.
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
Se poutèt sa, m'ap di nou: Bondye va padonnen moun tout peche yo va fè, tout move pawòl ki va soti nan bouch yo. Men, kanta moun ki va pale mal sou Sentespri a, pa gen padon pou yo.
32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
Moun ki pale mal sou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, y'a padonnen l'. Men, moun ki pale mal sou Sentespri a, li p'ap jwenn padon ni koulye a, ni nan tan k'ap vini apre sa a. (aiōn g165)
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
Si pyebwa a bon, l'ap bay bon donn. Si pyebwa a pa bon, li p'ap bay bon donn. Yo rekonèt kalite yon pyebwa sou donn li bay.
34 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Bann vèmen! nou twò mechan. Bon pawòl pa ka soti nan bouch nou. Sa ki nan kè yon moun, se sa ki soti nan bouch li.
35 The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
Yon nonm ki bon, se bon bagay ase li ka rale soti nan tou sa li genyen ki bon yo. Konsa tou, yon nonm ki mechan, se move bagay ase li ka rale soti nan tou sa li genyen ki move yo.
36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
M'ap di nou sa: Jou jijman an, moun gen pou rann kont pou tout pawòl yo di yo pa t' bezwen di.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Paske, se dapre pawòl ou y'a jije ou: Se pawòl ou k'ap di si ou inonsan, osinon si ou koupab.
38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Rabbi, we want to see a sign from you.”
Lè sa a, kèk dirèktè lalwa ansanm ak kèk farizyen pran lapawòl. Yo di Jezi: Mèt, nou ta renmen wè ou fè yon mirak pou moutre se Bondye ki ba ou pouvwa sa a.
39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Jezi reponn yo: Moun alèkile yo, atout yo mechan, atout yo vire do bay Bondye, men y'ap mande mirak! Men, yo p'ap jwenn lòt mirak pase mirak pwofèt Jonas la.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the huge fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Menm jan Jonas te pase twa jou twa nwit nan vant gwo pwason an, konsa tou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a gen pou pase twa jou twa nwit anba tè.
41 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the proclaiming of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here.
Jou jijman an, moun lavil Neniv yo va leve kanpe, y'a fè kondannen moun alèkile yo. Paske yo menm, yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye lè Jonas te fè yo konnen mesaj li a. Men, isit la gen bagay ki pi konsekan pase Jonas.
42 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.
Jou jijman an, larenn peyi ki nan sid la va leve kanpe, la fè yo kondannen moun alèkile yo. Paske, li te soti byen lwen, jouk nan dènye bout latè, pou l' te vin tande bèl pawòl bon konprann Salomon yo. Men, isit la gen bagay ki pi konsekan pase Salomon.
43 “When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.
Lè yon move lespri soti sou yon moun, li al pwonmennen toupatou nan savann yo, l'ap chache yon kote pou l' pran repo. Men, li pa jwenn.
44 Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came;’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
Lè sa a, li di nan kè l': M'ap tounen lakay mwen, kote m' soti a. Lè l' rive, li jwenn nonm lan tankou yon kay ki vid, men byen bale, byen ranje.
45 Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”
Lè konsa, li ale, li pran sèt lòt lespri ki pi move pase l', lespri yo vin ansanm avè l', yo antre nan kay la, yo rete. Lè sa a, kondisyon moun lan vin pi mal pase jan l' te ye anvan an. Enben, se sa ki pral rive move moun k'ap viv alèkile yo.
46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
Jezi t'ap pale ak foul moun yo toujou lè manman l' ak frè l' yo vin rive. Yo rete deyò, yo t'ap chache yon jan pou yo te pale avè l'.
47 One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
Se konsa yon moun di Jezi: Men manman ou ak frè ou yo deyò a. Yo ta renmen pale avè ou.
48 But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
Men Jezi reponn moun ki te di l' sa a: Kilès ki manman m'? Kilès ki frè m'?
49 He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
Lè sa a, li lonje men l' sou disip li yo, li di: Gade non: men manman m' ak frè m' yo.
50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Tout moun ki fè sa Papa m' ki nan syèl la mande pou yo fè, se moun sa yo ki frè m', ki sè m', ki manman m'.
