Matthew 19
1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
Lè Jezi fin di pawòl sa yo, li kite peyi Galile a, li ale nan zòn peyi Jide ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an.
2 Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
Yon gwo foul moun t'ap swiv li. Lè l' rive, li geri malad yo.
3 Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
Kèk farizyen pwoche bò kot Jezi pou yo wè si yo te ka pran l' nan pèlen. Yo mande li: Eske lalwa nou pèmèt yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou nenpòt ki kòz?
4 Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
Jezi reponn yo: Eske nou pa li sa ki ekri nan Liv la? Nan konmansman, lè Bondye t'ap fè moun, li te fè yo gason ak fi.
5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
Apre sa li di: Se poutèt sa, gason an va kite papa l' ak manman l' pou l' mete tèt li ansanm ak madanm li. Yo tou de va fè yon sèl kò.
6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
Konsa, yo pa de ankò, men yo fè yon sèl kò. Se poutèt sa, pesonn moun pa gen dwa separe sa Bondye mete ansanm.
7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
Farizyen yo di li: Bon, poukisa Moyiz te bay lòd pou yon nonm ekri yon papye divòs voye bay madanm li, anvan pou l' kite avè li?
8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart; but it was not this way from the beginning.
Jezi reponn yo: Se paske nou gen tèt di kifè Moyiz te ban nou dwa kite ak madanm nou. Men, nan konmansman se pa t' konsa.
9 Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman, commits adultery.”
Mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Lè yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou l' al marye ak yon lòt, li fè adiltè, esepte si se pou lenkondite li ta kite ake madanm lan.
10 His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”
Disip li yo di li: Si se konsa bagay la ye pou yon nonm ak madanm li, pito yon nonm pa marye.
11 “Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given.
Jezi reponn yo: Se pa tout moun ki asepte pawòl sa a. Se sèlman moun Bondye bay pouvwa pou sa.
12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
Paske, gen anpil rezon ki ka enpoze yon nonm marye. Genyen ki fèt tou konsa: yo pa ka marye. Gen lòt, se moun ki mete yo nan eta sa a pou yo pa ka marye. Gen lòt ankò ki pa marye poutèt Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la. Si yon moun ka asepte pawòl sa a, se pou l' asepte li.
13 Then the little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
Lè sa a, yo mennen kèk timoun piti bay Jezi pou l' te mete men l' sou tèt yo, pou l' te lapriyè pou yo. Men, disip yo t'ap di moun yo pa fè sa.
14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Jezi di yo: Kite timoun yo vin jwenn mwen non. Pa enpoze yo vini. Paske, Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se pou tout moun ki tankou timoun sa yo li ye.
15 And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.
Li mete men l' sou tèt yo. Apre sa, li pati, li kite kote l' te ye a.
16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Yon nonm pwoche bò kot Jezi, li di l' konsa: Mèt, ki bon bagay mwen dwe fè pou m' ka resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an? (aiōnios g166)
17 “Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
Jezi reponn li: Poukisa w'ap poze m' keksyon sou sa ki bon? Se yon sèl ki bon. Si ou vle antre nan lavi a, se pou ou fè sa kòmandman yo mande. Nonm lan mande li: Kilès kòmandman sa yo?
18 “Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,
Jezi reponn li: Piga ou touye moun. Piga ou fè adiltè. Piga ou vòlò. Piga ou bay manti.
19 honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’”
Respekte papa ou ak manman ou. Se pou ou renmen frè parèy ou tankou ou renmen tèt pa ou.
20 “All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”
Jennonm lan di li: Mwen swiv tout bagay sa yo. Kisa pou m' fè ankò?
21 Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
Jezi di li: Si ou vle bon nèt san manke anyen, ale vann tou sa ou genyen, separe lajan an bay pòv. Lè sa a, wa gen yon richès nan syèl la. Apre sa, vin swiv mwen.
22 When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
Lè jennonm lan tande pawòl sa yo, li vin kagou, li vire do l', li ale paske li te gen anpil byen.
23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Lè sa a, Jezi di disip li yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi. Sa ap difisil nèt pou yon nonm rich antre nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
M'ap di nou sa ankò: L'ap pi fasil pou gwo bèt yo rele chamo a pase nan je yon zegwi pase pou yon nonm rich antre nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
Lè disip yo tande sa, yo pa t' manke sezi, yo di: Nan kondisyon sa a, ki moun ki ka sove?
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Jezi gade yo, li di: Moun pa ka fè sa, se vre. Men, pa gen anyen Bondye pa kapab fè.
27 “Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?”
Lè sa a, Pyè di li: Men, koute non. Nou kite tout bagay pou nou swiv ou. Kisak pral rive nou?
28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jezi reponn yo: Se vre wi, sa m'ap di nou la a: Lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va chita sou fòtèy li ak tout bèl pouvwa li, lè tout bagay va chanje nèt, nou menm k'ap swiv mwen, n'a chita sou douz fòtèy tou, pou nou ka jije douz branch ras Izrayèl la.
29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Nenpòt moun ki va kite kay li, osinon frè l', osinon sè l', osinon papa l', osinon manman l', osinon pitit li, osinon jaden l', poutèt mwen, moun sa a gen pou l' resevwa san (100) fwa plis pase sa, ansanm ak lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
Anpil nan moun ki devan yo va rete dèyè. Anpil nan moun ki dèyè yo va pran devan.
