Matthew 19
1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
Lè Jésus te fin pale pawòl sa yo, li te kite Galilée pou ale nan rejyon Judée, lòtbò Jourdain an.
2 Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
Gran foul yo te swiv Li, e Li te geri yo la.
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 te vin kote Li pou fè pase L eprèv. Yo mande L: “Èske li pèmèt pou yon nonm divòse ak madanm li pou okenn rezon?”
4 Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
Li te reponn yo: “Èske nou pa konn li ke Sila ki te kreye yo depi nan kòmansman an, te fè yo mal ak femèl,
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’?
ke: ‘pou koz sa a, yon nonm ap kite papa li ak manman li pou vin atache a madanm li, epi yo de a ap vini yon sèl chè?
6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
Konsa, se pa de yo ye ankò, men yon sèl chè. Sa ke Bondye mete ansanm, pa kite okenn moun separe l.’”
7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
Yo te mande L: “Ebyen, poukisa Moïse te kòmande yo pou ‘Bay li yon sètifika divòs e voye li ale?’”
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.
Li te reponn yo: “Akoz kè di nou, Moïse te pèmèt nou divòse ak madanm nou yo, men depi nan kòmansman an, se pa konsa li te ye.
9 Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman, commits adultery.”
Mwen di nou: Nenpòt moun ki divòse ak madanm li, sof ke pou imoralite, epi marye avèk yon lòt fanm, li fè adiltè.”
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 te di L: “Si se konsa relasyon a yon mesye ye avèk madanm li, li pi bon pou pa marye.”
11 “Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given.
Men Li te di yo: “Se pa tout moun ki kapab aksepte sa nou di a, men sèl sa yo ke li te bay.
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 enik ki te fèt konsa depi nan vant manman yo, e gen enik ki te fèt konsa pa lòm; e gen enik ki te fèt konsa pou tèt yo, pou koz a wayòm syèl la. Sila ki kapab aksepte sa, kite l aksepte 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.
Apre sa, yo te mennen kèk timoun kote L pou Li ta kapab mete men Li sou yo e priye pou yo; men disip yo te reprimande yo.
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.”
Konsa, Jésus te di: “Bay timoun yo pèmi, e pa anpeche yo vin kote Mwen, paske wayòm syèl la se pou sila ki tankou yo”.
15 And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.
Apre Li mete men Li sou yo, Li kite la.
16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Konsa, youn moun te vini la, e te di: “Mèt, ki bon bagay Mwen kapab fè pou m jwenn lavi etènèl?” (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.”
Li te di l: “Poukisa ou ap kesyone M sou sa ki bon? Gen yon sèl ki bon, Bondye. Men si ou vle antre nan lavi, kenbe kòmandman yo.”
18 “Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,
Li te mande Li: “Kilès nan yo?” Jésus te reponn li: “Ou pa pou touye moun, ou pa pou fè adiltè, ou pa pou vòlè, ou pa pou pote fo temwayaj.
19 honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’”
Onore papa ou avèk manman ou, epi renmen pwochen ou tankou tèt ou.”
20 “All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”
Jennonm nan te di L: “Tout bagay sa yo, mwen fè yo. Kisa mwen manke?”
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.”
Jésus te di l: “Si ou vle pafè, ale vann tout sa ou posede, bay malere yo, e w ap gen richès nan syèl la; epi vin swiv Mwen.”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
Men lè jennonm nan te tande pawòl sa a, li te sòti dezole, 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.
Jésus te di a disip Li yo: “Anverite Mwen di nou: Li difisil pou yon nonm rich antre nan wayòm 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.”
Ankò, Mwen di nou: Li pi fasil pou yon chamo pase nan zye a yon zegwi, pase pou yon nonm rich antre nan wayòm Bondye a.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
Lè disip Li yo te tande sa, yo te etone e te di: “Kilès konsa ki kab sove?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Jésus te byen gade yo, e te di: “Avèk moun, li pa posib, men avèk Bondye, tout bagay posib.”
27 “Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?”
Konsa Pierre te reponn Li. Li te di: “Gade, nou fin kite tout bagay pou te swiv Ou. Kisa k ap gen pou 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.
Jésus te di yo: “Anverite, Mwen di nou ke nou ki te swiv Mwen yo, nan tan renouvèlman tout bagay la, lè Fis a Lòm nan vin chita sou twòn Li nan tout glwa Li, nou menm tou, n ap chita sou douz twòn pou jije douz tribi Israël yo.
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)
“Tout moun ki kite kay yo oubyen frè yo oubyen sè yo, papa, Manman, zanfan, oubyen tè pou koz a Non Mwen, ap resevwa anpil fwa sa a, e va eritye lavi etènèl. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
Men anpil moun ki premye ap dènye, e dènye yo, ap vin premye.”
