Lik 9
1 Li te rele douz yo ansanm, e te bay yo pouvwa avèk otorite sou tout dyab, e pou geri maladi.
Jesus called the twelve disciples together. He gave them power and authority over all demons, and the ability to heal diseases.
2 Li te voye yo ale pou pwoklame wayòm Bondye a, e pou geri maladi.
Then he sent them out to proclaim God's kingdom and to heal the sick.
3 Konsa, Li te di yo: “Pa pran anyen pou vwayaj nou, ni yon baton, ni yon sak, ni pen, ni lajan. Pa menm pote yon dezyèm vètman.
“Take nothing with you for the journey,” he told them. “No staff, no bag, no bread, no money, not even any extra clothes.
4 Nan nenpòt kay ke nou antre, rete la jiskaske nou kite vil sa a.
Whatever house you enter, stay there, and when you leave, leave from there.
5 Pou sila yo ki pa resevwa nou, lè n ap kite vil sa a, souke pousyè sòti nan pye nou kon yon temwayaj kont yo.”
If people refuse to accept you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave town as a warning against them.”
6 Pandan yo t ap kite la, yo te kòmanse ale pami bouk yo, ap preche levanjil la, e te fè gerizon toupatou.
They left and went around the villages, announcing the good news and healing everywhere they went.
7 Alò, Hérode, tetrak la te tande tout sa ki t ap fèt yo. Konsa, li te gravman twouble, paske kèk moun te di ke se te Jean ki te leve soti nan lanmò.
Herod the tetrarch had heard about all that was happening, and he was very puzzled. Some were saying that John had been raised from the dead;
8 Selon kèk lòt Élie ki vin parèt, oswa youn nan ansyen pwofèt yo te leve ankò.
others that Elijah had appeared; still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.
9 Hérode te di: “Mwen menm te fè yo koupe tèt a Jean, men kilès nonm sa a ye, ke m tande tout koze sa yo?” Li te kontinye ap eseye pou l ta kab wè L.
Herod said, “There's no question I beheaded John. So who is this man? I'm hearing all these things about him.” And he tried to find a way to meet Jesus.
10 Lè apòt yo te retounen, yo te bay Jésus yon istwa de tout sa ki te rive a. Li te fè yo ale avè L, pou yo fè retrèt vè yon vilaj yo rele Betsaïda.
When the apostles returned they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he left with them and went to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Men foul la te konnen sa. Yo te swiv Li, e Li te resevwa yo avèk kè ouvè. Li te kòmanse pale avèk yo sou wayòm syèl la, e te fè gerizon pou sila yo ki te bezwen geri.
However, the crowds found out where he was going and followed him there. He welcomed them and explained the kingdom of God to them, and healed those who needed healing.
12 Alò jou a te kòmanse ap avanse, e douz yo te vin di Li: “Voye foul la ale pou yo kapab ale nan vilaj yo oswa andeyò pou yo twouve lojman. Konsa, yo ka jwenn yon bagay pou yo manje, paske nou isit la nan yon kote ki izole.”
Late in the day, the twelve disciples came to him and said, “You should send the crowd away now so they can go to the villages and farms nearby and find a place to stay and food to eat—there's nothing here where we are.”
13 Men Li te di yo: “Nou menm bay yo manje!” Yo te reponn Li: “Nou pa gen plis ke senk pen avèk de pwason, sof ke petèt ke nou ta ale achte pen pou tout moun sa yo.”
“You give them something to eat!” said Jesus. “All we have here are five loaves and two fish—unless you want us to go and buy food for everyone,” they said.
14 (Paske te gen anviwon senk-mil moun.) Li te di a disip Li yo: “Fè yo chita nan gwoup de senkant chak.”
There were about five thousand men present. “Sit them down in groups of about fifty,” he told his disciples.
15 Konsa yo te fè; yo te fè tout moun chita.
The disciples did so, and everybody sat down.
16 Answit, Li te pran senk pen avèk de pwason yo. Li te gade vè syèl la, e Li te beni yo. Li te kase yo, e te lonje bay disip yo pou mete devan foul la.
Jesus picked up the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed the food and broke it into pieces. He kept on giving the food to the disciples to share with the people.
17 Yo te manje jis vant tout moun te plen. E mòso tou kase ke yo te ranmase yo te fè douz panyen byen ranpli.
Everybody ate until they were full, and then twelve baskets of leftovers were collected.
18 Li te vin rive ke pandan Li t ap priye sèl, disip yo te toupre. Konsa, Li te poze yon kesyon. Li te mande: “Kilès moun pèp la di ke Mwen ye?”
At another time, when Jesus was praying in private with just his disciples with him, he asked them, “All these crowds of people—who do they say I am?”
19 Yo te reponn Li, e te di: “Jean-Baptiste, oswa Eli; men lòt yo, youn nan ansyen pwofèt yo ki leve ankò.”
“Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others say one of the ancient prophets risen from the dead,” they replied.
20 Li te mande yo: “Men kilès nou menm, nou di ke Mwen ye”? Pierre te reponn. Li te di: “Kris la a Bondye a.”
“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” “God's Messiah,” Peter replied.
21 Men Li te avèti yo avèk severite pou yo pa pale sa a pèsonn.
Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell anybody about this.
22 Konsa Li te di: “Fis a Lòm nan va oblije soufri anpil bagay, e va rejte pa ansyen yo, ak chèf prèt yo, ak skrib yo. Li va vin touye, e va vin leve nan twazyèm jou a.”
“The Son of man must experience terrible sufferings,” he said. “He will be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the religious teachers. He will be killed, but on the third day he will rise again.”
23 Li t ap di a yo tout: “Si Nenpòt moun vle swiv Mwen, li dwe renonse a pwòp tèt li, pran kwa li e swiv Mwen.
“If any one of you wants to follow me, you must deny yourself, pick up your cross daily, and follow me,” Jesus told all of them.
24 Paske Nenpòt moun ki vle sove vi li va pèdi li, men sila a ki pèdi lavi li pou koz Mwen, se li ki va sove li.
“For if you want to save your life, you will lose it; and if you lose your life for my sake, you will save it.
25 “Paske ki avantaj yon nonm gen si li vin genyen tou lemonn, e vinpèdi, pou peye kon pri a, pwòp nanm li?
What do you benefit by gaining the whole world if you end up lost or destroyed?
26 “Paske Nenpòt moun ki wont Mwen, ak pawòl Mwen yo, a li menm, Fis a Lòm nan va wont lè Li vini nan glwa Li, ak glwa a Papa a, e glwa a zanj sen yo.
If you are ashamed of me and my message, the Son of man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory, and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.
27 “Men Mwen di nou anverite, gen nan sila yo ki kanpe la a ki p ap goute lanmò jouk lè ke yo wè wayòm Bondye a.”
I tell you the truth, some standing here won't taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
28 Anviwon uit jou aprè pawòl sa yo, Li te pran Pierre avèk Jean, avèk Jacques, e te monte nan mòn nan pou priye.
About eight days later, after he had told them this, Jesus took Peter, John, and James with him and went up a mountain to pray.
29 Pandan Li t ap priye, aspè figi Li te vin chanje, e vètman Li te vin klere kon blan briyan.
While he was praying, his face changed in appearance, and his clothing became a dazzling white.
30 Epi gade, de zòm t ap pale avèk Li. Se te Moïse avèk Elie,
Two men appeared in brilliant glory. They were Moses and Elijah, and they began to talk with Jesus.
31 ki te vin parèt nan glwa, e t ap pale sou afè depa Li, ke Li te prèt pou acheve nan Jérusalem.
They spoke about his death, which would soon happen in Jerusalem.
32 Alò, Pierre avèk lòt parèy li yo te vin lou ak dòmi. Men lè zye pa yo te vin ouvri, yo te wè glwa Li ak de zòm sa yo ki te kanpe avè L.
Peter and the others were asleep. When they woke up they saw Jesus in his glory, and the two men standing next to him.
33 Konsa, Li te vin rive ke pandan sila yo t ap kite Li, Pierre te di a Jésus: “Mèt, li bon pou nou isit la. Annou fè twa tabènak; youn pou Ou, youn pou Moïse, e youn pou Elie.” Men li pa t fin konprann sa li t ap di a.
As the two men were about to leave, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it's great to be here. Let's make some shelters: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He really didn't know what he was saying.
34 Pandan li t ap di sa, yon nyaj te fòme. Li te pase yon lonbraj sou yo, epi yo te krent lè yo te antre nan lonbraj la.
While he was speaking a cloud came and spread over them. They were terrified as they entered the cloud.
35 Answit yon vwa te sòti nan lonbraj la. Li te di: “Sa se fis byeneme Mwen an; koute Li!”
A voice spoke from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him!”
36 Lè vwa a te pale, Jésus te twouve li sèl. Yo te rete an silans, e pa t di pèsonn sa ki te rive nan jou sa yo.
When the voice finished speaking, Jesus was there alone. They kept this to themselves, and didn't tell anyone at that time what they'd seen.
37 Nan jou swivan an, lè yo te desann sòti nan mòn nan, yon gwo foul te rankontre Li.
The next day, when they had come down the mountain, a huge crowd was waiting to meet Jesus.
38 Konsa yon mesye nan foul la te rele fò: “Mèt, mwen sipliye ou pou gade wè fis mwen an, paske se li sèl gason ke m genyen.
A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, please look at my son. He's my only child.
39 Yon lespri konn sezi li. Li rele fò, lespri a jete li nan gwo kriz ki fè bouch li kimen, e pandan lespri a ap kite li, li kontinye maspinen l nèt jiskaske li ale.
A spirit possesses him and he screams immediately. It sends him into convulsions and makes him foam at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him alone and it causes him a lot of pain.
40 Mwen te sipliye disip ou yo pou chase l, men yo pa t kapab.”
I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't.”
41 Jésus te reponn: “O jenerasyon enkredil, e pèvès! Pou jis kilè M ap avèk nou, pou sipòte nou? Mennen pitit ou a isit la.”
“What an unbelieving and corrupt people you are! How long do I have to remain here with you, and put up with you?” said Jesus. “Bring your son here.”
42 Pandan Li t ap pwoche, dyab la te voye l atè, e te jete l nan yon gwo kriz. Men Jésus te repwòche lespri enpi a; Li te geri gason an, e te remèt li bay papa l.
Even as the boy came over, the demon sent him into convulsions, throwing him to the ground. But Jesus intervened, rebuking the evil spirit and healing the boy, and then gave him back to his father.
43 Yo tout te etone akoz grandè Bondye. Men pandan tout t ap admire tout sa ke Li t ap fè, Li te di a disip Li yo:
Everyone was amazed at this demonstration of God's power. However, even though everyone was amazed by all he did, Jesus warned his disciples,
44 “Kite pawòl sa yo penetre nan zòrèy nou; paske Fis a Lòm nan va livre nan men a lèzòm.”
“Listen carefully to what I'm telling you: the Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”
45 Men yo pa t konprann pawòl sila a, e sans li te kache a yo menm pou yo pa t kab konprann li. Yo te pè kesyone L sou pawòl sa a.
But they didn't understand what this meant. Its meaning was hidden from them so they didn't realize its implications, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
46 Konsa, yon gwo diskisyon te leve pami yo sou kilès nan yo ki ta pi gran.
Then an argument started among the disciples about which of them was the greatest.
47 Men Jésus, byen okouran a sa yo t ap panse nan kè yo a, te pran yon timoun. Li te mete li kanpe akote Li.
But Jesus, knowing what they were arguing about, picked up and placed a small child next to him.
48 Li te di yo: “Nenpòt moun ki resevwa timoun sa a nan non Mwen an resevwa Mwen; e nenpòt moun ki resevwa Mwen, resevwa Papa a, ki te voye Mwen an. Paske sila ki pi piti pami nou an, se li menm ki pi gran.”
Then he said to them, “Anyone who accepts this little child in my name accepts me, and anyone who accepts me accepts the one who sent me. Whoever is least among you all is the greatest.”
49 Jean te reponn. Li te di: “Mèt, nou te wè yon moun ki t ap chase dyab nan non Ou, e nou te eseye anpeche li akoz ke li p ap swiv ak nou.”
John spoke up, saying, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him because he wasn't one of us.”
50 Men Jésus te di l: “Pa anpeche lipaske sila ki pa kont nou an pou nou.”
“Don't stop him,” Jesus replied. “Anyone who isn't against you is for you.”
51 Lè jou yo t ap pwoche pou L te leve, li te pran desizyon nèt pou ale Jérusalem.
As the time approached for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus was determined to go to Jerusalem.
52 Li te voye mesaje yo devan Li. Konsa, yo te ale antre nan yon vil a Samariten yo, pou fè aranjman pou li.
He sent messengers on ahead to a Samaritan village to get things ready for him.
53 Men yo pa t resevwa Li akoz ke Li t ap vwayaje ak figi Li fikse vè Jérusalem.
But the people would not welcome him because he was determined to press on to Jerusalem.
54 Lè Jacques avèk Jean te wè sa, yo te di: “Senyè, èske Ou ta vle nou kòmande dife sòti nan syèl la pou devore yo?”
When James and John saw this, they asked Jesus, “Master, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to burn them up?”
55 Men Li te vire e te reprimande yo: “Nou pa konnen de ki kalite lespri nou ye;
But Jesus turned, and reprimanded them.
56 paske Fis a Lòm nan pa t vini pou detwi lavi moun, men pou sove yo.” Konsa, yo te kontinye pou ale nan yon lòt vil.
Then they proceeded to another village.
57 Pandan yo t ap prale akote wout la, yon moun te di Li: “Mwen va swiv Ou Nenpòt kote Ou ale.”
While they were walking, one man told Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go!”
58 Jésus te di Li: “Rena yo gen twou yo, e zwazo yo gen nich yo, men Fis a Lòm nan pa gen kote pou poze tèt Li.”
Jesus told the man, “Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man doesn't even have a place to rest his head.”
59 Konsa, Li te di a yon lòt: “Swiv Mwen”. Men li te di: “Kite m ale avan pou antere papa m.”
He told another man, “Follow me.” But the man replied, “Master, first let me go home and bury my father.”
60 Men Li te di li: “Kite mò yo antere mò yo; men pou ou menm, alepwoklame toupatou wayòm Bondye a.”
“Let the dead bury their own dead,” Jesus replied. “You go and proclaim God's kingdom.”
61 Yon lòt osi te di: “Mwen va swiv Ou Senyè; men kite m dabò di orevwa a moun lakay mwen.”
Another man said, “Lord, I will follow you! But first let me go home and say goodbye to my family.”
62 Men Jésus te di li: “Nenpòt moun ki mete men li sou cha a pou gade pa dèyè pa dign de wayòm Bondye a.”
But Jesus told him, “Nobody once they've started plowing and then looks back is fit for God's kingdom.”
