Matye 14
1 Lè sa a, Ewòd ki t'ap gouvènen nan peyi Galile tande pale sou Jezi.
At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Yeshua,
2 Li di moun ki t'ap travay avè l' yo: Se Jan Batis wi! Se li ki leve vivan nan lanmò. Se poutèt sa li ka fè tout mirak sa yo.
and said to his servants, “This is Yochanan the Immerser. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”
3 Se Ewòd menm ki te fè arete Jan Batis. Li te fè mare l' mete nan prizon poutèt Ewodyad, madanm Filip, frè li.
For Herod had arrested Yochanan, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 Paske Jan te di Ewòd konsa: Ou pa gen dwa pran Ewodyad pou madanm ou.
For Yochanan said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5 Ewòd te vle touye l', men li te pè jwif yo, paske yo tout te pran Jan Batis pou yon pwofèt.
When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 Men, jou fèt Ewòd la, pitit fi Ewodyad la t'ap danse devan tout envite yo. Sa te fè Ewòd plezi anpil.
But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced amongst them and pleased Herod.
7 Lè sa a, Ewòd sèmante l'ap ba li nenpòt kisa li ta mande li.
Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
8 Pitit fi Ewodyad la menm koute konsèy manman l' te ba li, li di Ewòd: Fè pote tèt Jan Batis ban mwen koulye a sou yon plato.
She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of Yochanan the Immerser.”
9 Kè wa a kase. Men, akòz gwo sèman li te fè devan tout envite yo, li bay lòd pou yo bay fi a sa l' te mande a.
The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,
10 Se konsa, Ewòd voye koupe tèt Jan Batis nan prizon an.
and he sent and beheaded Yochanan in the prison.
11 Yo pote tèt la vini sou yon plato, yo renmèt fi a li. Fi a menm pote l' bay manman li.
His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.
12 Patizan Jan Batis yo vin pran kò a, yo antere li. Apre sa, y al di Jezi sa ki te pase.
His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Yeshua.
13 Lè Jezi pran nouvèl sa a, li pati nan yon kannòt. Li te vle al yon kote ki pa gen moun pou l' te ka pou kont li. Men, moun yo vin konn sa. Yo kouri soti nan tout lavil yo, yo pran mache sou rivaj la ap swiv li.
Now when Yeshua heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
14 Lè Jezi desann soti nan kannòt la, li wè tout foul moun yo. Kè l' fè l' mal pou yo, li pran geri moun malad yo.
Yeshua went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15 Lè solèy fin kouche, disip Jezi yo pwoche bò kote l', yo di l' konsa: Li fin ta wi. Pa gen moun ki rete bò isit la. Voye moun yo ale pou yo ka achte manje nan bouk yo.
When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, “This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.”
16 Jezi reponn yo: Yo pa bezwen ale. Ba yo manje nou menm.
But Yeshua said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 Men yo di li: Se senk pen ak de pwason ase nou gen la a.
They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”
18 Jezi di yo: Pote yo ban mwen.
He said, “Bring them here to me.”
19 Apre sa, li bay lòd fè moun yo chita sou zèb la. Li pran senk pen yo ak de pwason yo, li leve je l' nan syèl la, li di Bondye mèsi. Li kase pen yo, li bay disip yo. Disip yo menm mache bay tout moun.
He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
20 Tout moun manje vant plen. Apre sa, disip yo plen douz panyen ak ti moso ki te rete, yo pote ale.
They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
21 Te gen senkmil (5,000) gason konsa ki te jwenn manje pou yo manje, san konte fanm ak timoun.
Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
22 Touswit apre sa, Jezi fè disip li yo moute nan kannòt la, li voye yo devan lòt bò lanmè a. Li menm, li te rete dèyè pou l' te voye moun yo ale.
Immediately Yeshua made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 Lè li fin voye yo ale, li moute pou kont li sou yon ti mòn pou l' lapriyè. Solèy te fin kouche, li te la toujou pou kont li.
After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
24 Kannòt la menm te gen tan yon bon distans sou lanmè a. Men, lanm yo t'ap bat li, paske van an te kontrè pou yo.
But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 Douvan jou, Jezi pran mache sou dlo a pou li al jwenn yo.
In the fourth watch of the night, Yeshua came to them, walking on the sea.
26 Lè disip yo wè l' ap mache sou dlo a, yo te pè anpil, yo t'ap di: Se yon revenan. Yo pran rele tèlman yo te pè.
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.
27 Menm lè a, Jezi di yo: Pran tèt nou. Se mwen menm. Nou pa bezwen pè.
But immediately Yeshua spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
28 Lè sa a, Pyè di li: Mèt, si se ou menm vre, di m' vin jwenn ou sou dlo a.
Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
29 Jezi di li: Vini non. Pyè soti nan kannòt la, li kòmanse mache sou dlo a pou li al jwenn Jezi.
He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Yeshua.
30 Men, lè Pyè wè jan van an te fò, li pè. Lè sa a, li kòmanse koule, li pran rele: Mèt, sove m' non!
But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 Menm lè a, Jezi lonje men l', li pran Pyè, li di li: Gade jan ou manke konfyans. Poukisa ou pa te fin kenbe konfyans ou nèt?
Immediately Yeshua stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32 Yo tou de moute nan kannòt la, lamenm van an kase.
When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Lè sa a, moun ki te nan kannòt la vin mete ajenou devan Jezi, yo di: Ou se pitit Bondye a vre.
Those who were in the boat came and worshipped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”
34 Lè yo fin janbe lòt bò lanmè a, yo fè tè nan peyi Jenezarèt.
When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35 Moun peyi a rekonèt Jezi, yo voye nouvèl la nan tout rejyon an. Yo mennen tout malad yo ba li.
When the people of that place recognised him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick;
36 Yo di Jezi: Tanpri souple, kite malad yo manyen bò rad ou ase. Tout moun malad ki te manyen rad li te geri.
and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.
