< Matthew 12 >

1 At that time, Jesus went out through the ripe grain on the Sabbath. And his disciples, being hungry, began to separate the grain and to eat.
Nan lè sa a, Jésus te pase nan chan sereyal yo nan jou Saba a e disip Li yo te vin grangou. Yo te kòmanse keyi tèt grenn sereyal pou manje yo.
2 Then the Pharisees, seeing this, said to him, “Behold, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths.”
Men lè Farizyen yo te wè sa, yo te di Li: “Gade, disip Ou yo fè sa ki pa pèmi nan yon jou Saba.”
3 But he said to them: “Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
Men Li te di yo: “Èske nou pa li sa ke David te fè lè li te vin grangou; li menm avèk lòt moun ki te avè l yo?
4 how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
Jan li te antre nan kay Bondye a, e te manje pen ki te konsakre ki pa t pèmi pou li ta manje, ni pou sa yo ki te avè l yo, men te sèlman pou prèt yo?
5 Or have you not read in the law, that on the Sabbaths the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath, and they are without guilt?
Oubyen èske nou pa t li nan Lalwa a ke nan jou Saba a, prèt yo nan tanp lan te konn vyole Saba a men rete inosan?
6 But I say to you, that something greater than the temple is here.
Men Mwen di nou ke yon choz pi gran pase tanp lan isit la.
7 And if you knew what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would never have condemned the innocent.
Men si nou te konnen kisa sa vle di: ‘Mwen dezire mizerikòd olye sakrifis’, nou pa t ap kondane inosan yo.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
Paske Fis a Lòm nan se Senyè Saba a.”
9 And when he had passed from there, he went into their synagogues.
Konsa, Li te kite la e te ale nan sinagòg yo.
10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand, and they questioned him, so that they might accuse him, saying, “Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbaths?”
Epi vwala, te gen yon mesye avèk yon men ki sèch. Farizyen yo te mande L: “Èske li pèmi pou geri nan jou Saba a?” Yo te mande sa a pou yo ta kapab akize Li.
11 But he said to them: “Who is there among you, having even one sheep, if it will have fallen into a pit on the Sabbath, would not take hold of it and lift it up?
Li te reponn yo: “Ki moun nan sila ki pami nou yo, si li te gen yon mouton ki tonbe nan yon twou nan Saba a, pa t ap lonje pran l e fè l sòti nan twou a?
12 How much better is a man than a sheep? And so, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbaths.”
Konbyen plis valè a yon moun pase yon mouton? Ebyen, li pèmi pou fè sa ki bon nan Saba a.”
13 Then he said to the man, “Extend your hand.” And he extended it, and it was restored to health, just like the other one.
Konsa, Li di mesye a: “Lonje men ou!” Li te lonje li, e li te retounen nòmal tankou lòt la.
14 Then the Pharisees, departing, took council against him, as to how they might destroy him.
Men Farizyen yo te soti deyò, pou fè konplo ansanm kont Li, sou kijan yo ta kapab detwi L.
15 But Jesus, knowing this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he cured them all.
Men Jésus te vin konnen tout sa, e Li te retire kò l. Anpil moun te swiv Li, e Li te geri yo tout.
16 And he instructed them, lest they make him known.
Epi Li te pase lòd pou yo pa fè pèsòn konnen ki moun Li te ye.
17 Then what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled, saying:
Sa te fèt pou akonpli sa ki te pale pa pwofèt Ésaïe a lè li te di:
18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will place my Spirit over him, and he shall announce judgment to the nations.
“Gade sèvitè Mwen ke Mwen te chwazi a; byeneme Mwen ki fè nanm Mwen byen kontan an. M ap mete lespri Mwen sou Li, e Li va pwoklame jistis a payen yo.
19 He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall anyone hear his voice in the streets.
Li p ap diskite, ni kriye; ni pèsòn p ap tande vwa Li nan lari.
20 He shall not crush the bruised reed, and he shall not extinguish the smoking wick, until he sends forth judgment unto victory.
Yon wozo brize, Li p ap kase, e yon fisèl bouji k ap toufe, Li p ap tenyen, jouk lè Li mennen jistis la rive nan viktwa a.
21 And the Gentiles shall hope in his name.”
Nan Non Pa Li, payen yo ap gen espwa.”
22 Then one who had a demon, who was blind and mute, was brought to him. And he cured him, so that he spoke and saw.
Apre sa, yo te pote bay Li yon mesye ki te avèg e bèbè akoz yon move lespri. Li te geri li, e bèbè a te vin pale e li te vin wè.
23 And all the crowds were stupefied, and they said, “Could this be the son of David?”
Tout foul la te etone, e te kòmanse di: “Èske se posib ke moun sa a kapab Fis a David?”
24 But the Pharisees, hearing it, said, “This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebub, the prince of the demons.”
Men lè Farizyen yo tande sa, yo te di: “Mesye sa ap chase move lespri sa yo pa Béelzébul ki mèt a tout move lespri yo.”
25 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself will become desolate. And every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
Li te konnen panse yo, e Li te di yo: “Nenpòt wayòm ki divize kont pwòp tèt li va gaye; e nenpòt vil oswa kay ki divize kont pwòp tèt li p ap kanpe.
26 So if Satan casts out Satan, then he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Si se Satan k ap jete Satan, li divize kont pwòp tèt li. Konsa kijan wayòm li va kanpe?
27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your own sons cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.
Epi si Mwen menm pa fòs Béelzébul, chase move lespri yo, pa kilès fis nou yo ap jete yo? Pou rezon sa a, se yo menm k ap jije nou.
28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has arrived among you.
Men si Mwen chase move lespri yo pa Lespri Bondye a, wayòm Bondye a gen tan vini sou nou.
29 Or how can anyone enter into the house of a strong man, and plunder his belongings, unless he first restrains the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
Oubyen kijan yon moun kapab antre nan kay a nonm fò, pou pran tout byen li, sof ke premyèman li mare nonm fò a? Lè l fini, l ap piyaje kay la.
30 Whoever is not with me, is against me. And whoever does not gather with me, scatters.
“Sila ki pa pou Mwen an, kont Mwen; e sila ki pa ranmase avè M nan ap gaye.
31 For this reason, I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
Pou sa, Mwen di nou, nenpòt peche, menm blasfèm kapab padone; men blasfèm kont Lespri Sen an p ap kapab padone.
32 And anyone who will have spoken a word against the Son of man shall be forgiven. But whoever will have spoken against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven, neither in this age, nor in the future age. (aiōn g165)
Nenpòt moun ki pale yon mo kont Fis a Lòm nan, l ap padone; men nenpòt moun ki pale yon mo kont Lespri Sen an, sa p ap padone, ni nan laj sila a ni nan laj k ap vini an. (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree evil and its fruit evil. For certainly a tree is known by its fruit.
“Swa pyebwa a bon, e fwi li bon; oubyen pyebwa a pouri e fwi li pouri. Pyebwa a rekonèt pa fwi ke li bay.
34 Progeny of vipers, how are you able to speak good things while you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Nou menm nich vipè, jan nou mechan; kijan nou sipoze nou kapab pale sa ki bon? Se bouch la ki pale tout sa ki plen kè a.
35 A good man offers good things from a good storehouse. And an evil man offers evil things from an evil storehouse.
Bon moun nan fè sòti nan bon trezò li, sa ki bon; e move moun nan fè sòti nan move trezò li, sa ki mal.
36 But I say to you, that for every idle word which men will have spoken, they shall render an account in the day of judgment.
Epi Mwen di nou ke nan jou jijman an, moun ap rann kont pou chak ti mo ke yo pale anven.
37 For by your words shall you be justified, and by your words shall you be condemned.”
Paske pa pawòl nou, nou va jistifye; e pa pawòl nou, nou va kondane.”
38 Then certain ones from the scribes and the Pharisees responded to him, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
Kèk nan Skrib ak Farizyen yo te reponn li konsa: “Mèt, nou vle wè yon sign de Ou menm”.
39 And answering, he said to them: “An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. But a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Men li te reponn yo konsa: “Yon jenerasyon mechan ak adiltè vle yon sign; men pa gen yon sign ke n ap bay sof ke sign ki pou pwofèt Jonas la.
40 For just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights, so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
Menm jan ke Jonas te pase twa jou ak twa nwit nan vant gwo pwason an, konsa Fis a Lòm nan ap pase twa jou ak twa nwit nan kè latè.
41 The men of Nineveh shall arise in judgment with this generation, and they shall condemn it. For, at the preaching of Jonah, they repented. And behold, there is a greater than Jonah here.
Moun Niniv ap kanpe avèk jenerasyon sila a nan jijman e kondane li, paske yo te repanti lè Jonas te preche yo. Epi veye byen, yon bagay pi gran pase Jonas gen tan rive isit la.
42 The Queen of the South shall arise in judgment with this generation, and she shall condemn it. For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, there is a greater than Solomon here.
Rèn nan Sid la ap leve avèk jenerasyon sila a nan jijman e kondane li, paske li te sòti nan dènye ekstremite latè pou tande sajès Salomon; epi veye byen, yon choz pi gran pase Salomon gen tan rive isit la.
43 Now when an unclean spirit departs from a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and he does not find it.
“Alò, lè yon move lespri kite yon nonm, li pase nan zòn sèk san dlo pou chache repo, men li pa jwenn.
44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house, from which I departed’. And arriving, he finds it vacant, swept clean, and decorated.
Konsa li di: M ap retounen lakay kote mwen te sòti a. Lè li vini li twouve li vid, bale e ranje nan lòd.
45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and live there. And in the end, the man becomes worse than he was at first. So, too, shall it be with this most wicked generation.”
Konsa l ale chache sèt lòt espri pi mal ke li. Yo antre la pou viv avè l, epi dènye eta a moun sa a pi mal pase premye a. Se konsa l ap ye avèk jenerasyon mechan sila a.”
46 While he was still speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and his brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak with him.
Pandan Li te toujou ap pale avèk foul la, konsa, manman L avèk frè Li yo te vin parèt pa deyò akoz yo te vle pale avèk Li.
47 And someone said to him: “Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking you.”
Yon moun te di li: “Gade, manman Ou avèk frè Ou yo kanpe deyò a pou pale avèk ou!”
48 But responding to the one speaking to him, he said, “Which one is my mother, and who are my brothers?”
Men Li te reponn sila ki te pale avèk Li pou di l: “Kilès ki manman M? E kilès ki frè M?”
49 And extending his hand to his disciples, he said: “Behold: my mother and my brothers.
Konsa, byen lonje men L vè disip Li yo, Li te di: “Gade manman M ak frè Mwen yo.
50 For anyone who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Paske sila ki fè volonte a Papa M ki nan syèl la, se li menm ki frè M, sè M, ak manman M.”
