Matye 24
1 Jezi soti nan tanp lan, li tapral fè wout li lè disip li yo pwoche bò kote li. Yo t'ap fè l' wè ki jan tanp lan te byen bati.
And Jesus went out of the Temple, and on the way his disciples came to him, pointing out the buildings of the Temple.
2 Men li di yo: Nou wè tout bagay sa yo! Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi. Yon lè p'ap gen de wòch k'ap rete kanpe yonn sou lòt. Tou sa pral kraze nèt vide atè.
But he, answering, said to them, See you not all these things? truly I say to you that here there will not be one stone resting on another, which will not be pulled down.
3 Jezi te chita sou mòn Oliv la. Disip li yo te pou kont yo avèk li. Yo pwoche bò kote l', yo mande li: Manyè di nou kilè sa va rive? Di nou ki siy ki va fè nou konnen lè w'ap vini an, lè tan sa a va fini nèt? (aiōn g165)
And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Make clear to us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world? (aiōn g165)
4 Jezi reponn yo: Atansyon pou pesonn pa twonpe nou.
And Jesus said to them in answer, Take care that you are not tricked.
5 Paske, anpil moun va vini sou non mwen, y'a di se yo menm ki Kris la. y'a twonpe anpil moun.
For people will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and a number will be turned from the true way through them.
6 Nou pral tande lagè ap fèt toupre nou, ansanm ak nouvèl lagè k'ap fèt byen lwen. Koute sa m'ap di nou byen: nou pa bezwen pè. Paske, fòk bagay sa yo rive. Men, se p'ap ankò lafen an sa.
And news will come to you of wars and talk of wars: do not be troubled, for these things have to be; but it is still not the end.
7 Yon pèp pral leve goumen ak yon lòt pèp. Yon peyi va atake yon lòt peyi. Va gen anpil grangou, va gen tranblemanntè divès kote.
For nation will be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and men will be without food, and the earth will be shaking in different places;
8 Tou sa, se va tankou tranche anvan akouchman.
But all these things are the first of the troubles.
9 Lè sa a, y'ap pran nou, y'ap lage nou nan men moun k'ap fè nou pase touman, y'ap touye nou. Moun tout nasyon pral rayi nou poutèt mwen.
Then they will be cruel to you, and will put you to death: and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.
10 Lè sa a, anpil moun pral jwenn okazyon pou yo tonbe nan peche, yonn pral denonse lòt, yonn pral rayi lòt.
And numbers of people will be turned from the right way, and will give one another up and have hate for one another.
11 Gen anpil moun k'ap parèt, y'ap pran pòz pwofèt yo, y'a twonpe anpil moun.
And a number of false prophets will come, causing error.
12 Ap sitèlman gen mechanste sou latè, pifò moun yonn p'ap renmen lòt.
And because wrongdoing will be increased, the love of most people will become cold.
13 Men, moun ki va kenbe fèm jouk sa kaba, se li ki va delivre.
But he who goes through to the end will get salvation.
14 Fòk yo gen tan mache bay bon nouvèl Peyi kote Bondye Wa a toupatou sou latè, pou tout moun ka tande mesaj la. Se lè sa a atò lafen an va rive.
And this good news of the kingdom will be given through all the world for a witness to all nations; and then the end will come.
15 Pwofèt Danyèl te pale sou bagay nou pa ta renmen wè a, bagay k'ap bay gwo lapenn lan. Enben, nou gen pou nou wè bagay sa a chita kote ki rezève nan tanp lan apa pou Bondye. (Se pou moun k'ap li a chache konprann.)
When, then, you see in the holy place the unclean thing which makes destruction, of which word was given by Daniel the prophet (let this be clear to the reader),
16 Lè sa a, tout moun ki nan peyi Jide pral blije sove al nan mòn.
Then let those who are in Judaea go in flight to the mountains:
17 Moun ki va sou tèt kay yo, yo p'ap bezwen antre pran zafè yo nan kay la.
Let not him who is on the house-top go down to take anything out of his house:
18 Moun ki nan jaden pa bezwen tounen lakay yo al pran rechanj.
And let not him who is in the field go back to get his coat.
19 Lè sa a, se p'ap de doulè pou fanm ansent ak nouris yo.
But it will be hard for women who are with child and for those with babies at the breast in those days.
20 Lapriyè Bondye pou jou n'a gen pou n' kouri a pa rive ni nan tan fredi, ni yon jou saba.
And say a prayer that your flight may not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.
21 Paske lè sa a, va gen yon gwo lafliksyon moun poko janm wè depi nan konmansman lè Bondye t'ap kreye latè a jouk jòdi a. p'ap janm gen yon lòt tankou l' ankò.
Because in those days there will be great sorrow, such as there has not been from the start of the world till now, or ever will be.
22 Si yo pa t' wete kèk jou sou jou sa yo, pesonn pa ta sove. Men, y'a wete sou jou sa yo poutèt moun Bondye chwazi yo.
And if those days had not been made short there would have been no salvation for any, but because of the saints those days will be made short.
23 Lè sa a, si yon moun di nou: Gade, men Kris la bò isit, osinon: Men li bò la a, pa kwè li.
Then if any man says to you, See, here is the Christ, or, Here; do not put faith in him;
24 Paske lè sa a, gen fo Kris ak fo pwofèt k'ap parèt. y'a fè anpil mèvèy ak anpil mirak pou twonpe ata moun Bondye chwazi yo, si yo ta kapab.
For there will come up false Christs, and false prophets, who will do great signs and wonders; so that if possible even the saints might be tricked.
25 Mwen di nou sa davans.
See, I have made it clear to you before it comes about.
26 Se pou si yo di nou: Gade, men l' nan dezè a, nou pa bezwen ale. Osinon, si yo di nou: Gade, men l' kache bò isit la, nou pa bezwen kwè yo.
If, then, they say to you, See, he is in the waste land; go not out: See, he is in the inner rooms; put no faith in it.
27 Menm jan zèklè a fè yan, li klere tout syèl la depi bò solèy leve jouk bò solèy kouche, se konsa Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a gen pou l' vini.
Because as in a thunderstorm the bright light coming from the east is seen even in the west; so will be the coming of the Son of man.
28 Kote kadav la va ye a, se la votou yo va sanble.
Wherever the dead body is, there will the eagles come together.
29 Kou jou lafliksyon sa yo fin pase, solèy la p'ap klere ankò, lalin lan p'ap bay limyè l' ankò, zetwal yo va soti tonbe nan syèl la. Pouvwa yo ki nan syèl la va pran tranble.
But straight away, after the trouble of those days, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light and the stars will come down from heaven and the powers of heaven will be moved:
30 Lè sa a, n'a wè siy nan syèl la k'ap fè nou konnen Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a ap tounen. Lè sa a, tout nasyon ki sou latè va pran kriye. y'a wè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a ap vini anwo nwaj yo nan syèl la, avèk pouvwa, nan mitan yon bann bèl bagay.
And then the sign of the Son of man will be seen in heaven: and then all the nations of the earth will have sorrow, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 Gwo klewon an va sonnen, la voye zanj li yo nan kat kwen latè pou sanble tout moun Bondye te chwazi yo, depi yon bout nan syèl la jouk nan lòt bout la.
And he will send out his angels with a great sound of a horn, and they will get his saints together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Pran leson sou pye fig frans lan. Kou l' kòmanse boujonnen, kou l' pouse fèy, nou konnen sezon chalè a sou nou.
Now take an example from the fig-tree: when her branch has become soft and puts out its leaves, you are certain that the summer is near;
33 Menm jan an tou, lè n'a wè tout bagay sa yo rive, nou mèt konnen Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a toupre, li la nan papòt la.
Even so, when you see all these things, you may be certain that he is near, even at the doors.
34 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: gen moun nan jenerasyon sa a ki p'ap gen tan mouri anvan tout bagay sa yo rive.
Truly I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.
35 Syèl la ak tout tè a va pase, men pawòl mwen p'ap janm pase.
Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.
36 Men, pesonn pa konnen ni ki jou, ni ki lè sa va rive, pa menm zanj yo ki nan syèl la, pa menm Pitit la. Sèl Papa a konn sa.
But of that day and hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father only.
37 Sak te rive nan tan Noe a, se sa k'ap rive tou lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a ap vini.
And as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man.
38 Se konsa, nan jou anvan gwo inondasyon an, moun t'ap manje, yo t'ap bwè, moun t'ap marye, yo t'ap marye pitit fi yo. Konsa konsa, jouk jou Noe te antre nan gwo batiman an.
Because as in those days before the overflowing of the waters, they were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day when Noah went into the ark,
39 Yo pa t' konprann anyen nan sa ki t'ap pase, jouk lè gwo inondasyon an fèt, li pote yo tout ale. Se va menm jan an tou lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va vini.
And they had no care till the waters came and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.
40 Lè sa a, va gen de gason nan yon menm jaden, y'ap pran yonn, y'ap kite lòt la.
Then two men will be in the field; one is taken, and one let go;
41 Va gen de fanm k'ap moulen mayi, y'ap pran yonn, y'ap kite lòt la.
Two women will be crushing grain; one is taken, and one let go.
42 Se poutèt sa, pa kite dòmi pran nou, paske nou pa konnen ki jou Mèt nou va vini.
Be watching, then! for you have no knowledge on what day your Lord will come.
43 Se yon bagay nou tout dwe konnen: Si mèt kay la te konnen kilè nan lannwit lan vòlò a t'ap vini, li ta veye, li pa ta kite l' kase kay la.
But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.
44 Se pou sa tou, nou menm se pou nou toujou pare, paske Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a ap vini lè nou pa ta kwè.
Be ready then; for at a time which you have no thought of the Son of man will come.
45 Ki moun ki ka di li se yon jeran entelijan ki fè tout travay li byen? Se moun sa a mèt kay la va mete pou veye sou moun nan kay la, pou bay lòt domestik yo manje lè pou yo manje.
Who is the true and wise servant, whom his lord has put over those in his house, to give them their food at the right time?
46 Se va bèl bagay pou domestik la si mèt la jwenn li ap fè travay li lè l' tounen lakay li.
A blessing on that servant, who will be doing so when his lord comes.
47 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Mèt la va mete l' reskonsab tout byen l' yo.
Truly, I say to you, he will put him over all he has.
48 Men, si domestik sa a se yon move moun, l'ap di nan kè l': Mèt mwen ap fè reta. Li poko ap vini.
But if that evil servant says in his heart, My lord is a long time in coming;
49 L'ap tonbe bat kanmarad li yo, l'ap rete ap plede manje, ap plede bwè ak tafyatè.
And is cruel to the other servants, taking his pleasure with those who are overcome with wine;
50 Mèt domestik sa a va rive jou l' pa t'ap tann, yon lè li p'ap konnen.
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not looking for him, and in an hour of which he has no knowledge,
51 L'ap rachonnen msye anba kou, l'ap regle avè l' menm jan yo regle ak moun ipokrit yo. Se lè sa a va gen rèl, se lè sa a va gen manje dan.
And will have him cut in two, and will give him a part in the fate of the false ones: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.
