John 12
1 Six days before the Passover Jesus went to Bethany, to the home of Lazarus who had been raised from the dead.
Pou sa a, sis jou avan fèt la Jésus te vini nan Béthanie, kote Lazare, moun Li te fè leve sòti nan lanmò a te ye a.
2 There a dinner was arranged in his honor. Martha helped serve the food while Lazarus sat at the table with Jesus and the others guests.
Konsa, yo te prepare yon manje pou li la. Marthe t ap sèvi, men Lazare te youn nan yo ki te sou tab avèk Li.
3 Mary brought a pint of pure nard perfume and anointed Jesus' feet, wiping them dry with her hair. The scent of the perfume filled the whole house.
Nan lè sa a, Marie te pran yon liv pafen yo rele nà ki te koute trè chè, e te vide sou pye a Jésus e te siye yo avèk cheve li. Kay la te ranpli avèk sant pafen sa a.
4 But one of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who would later betray Jesus, asked,
Men Judas Iscariot, youn nan disip Li yo, ki te gen lentansyon pou trayi Li, te di:
5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth three hundred denarii.”
“Poukisa pafen sila a pa t vann pou twa san denye, pou yo ta bay malere yo?”
6 He wasn't saying this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He was the one who looked after the disciples' money and he often took some for himself.
Alò, li pa t di sa paske li te konsène pou malere yo, men paske se te yon vòlè li te ye. Epi konsi li te responsab lajan nan bwat kès la, li te konn piyaje sa ke yo mete ladann.
7 “Don't criticize her,” Jesus replied. “She did this in preparation for the day of my burial.
Pou rezon sa a, Jésus te di “Pa deranje l, li te konsève sa a pou jou lantèman M.
8 You'll always have the poor here with you, but you won't always have me here.”
Paske malere yo ap toujou avè w, men Mwen, ou p ap toujou genyen M.”
9 A large crowd had found out that he was there. They came there not just to see Jesus but because they wanted to see Lazarus, the man Jesus had raised from the dead.
Konsa, gran foul Jwif yo te dekouvri ke Li te la, e yo te vini non sèlman akoz Jésus, men pou yo ta ka wè Lazare ke Li te leve sòti nan lanmò a.
10 So the chief priests planned to kill Lazarus as well,
Men chèf prèt yo te mete tèt yo ansanm pou yo ta kapab anplis mete Lazare a lanmò.
11 since it was because of him that many Jews were no longer following them but putting their trust in Jesus.
Paske akoz li menm, anpil nan Jwif yo t ap kite e t ap kwè nan Jésus.
12 The following day the crowds of people who had come for the Passover festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
Nan jou aprè a, yon gran foul ki te vini nan fèt la, lè yo tande ke Jésus t ap vini nan Jérusalem,
13 They cut off palm branches and went to welcome him, shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one coming in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the king of Israel.”
te pran branch pye palmis, e te ale rankontre Li, e te kòmanse kriye “Ozana, ozana, beni sila a ki vini nan non Senyè a, Wa Israël la.”
14 Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it, as Scripture says:
Jésus te twouve yon jenn bourik e te chita sou li. Tankou li ekri,
15 “Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, riding a donkey's colt.”
“Pa pè, O fi a Sion. Gade byen, Wa ou ap vini, byen chita sou yon jenn bourik.”
16 At the time, Jesus' disciples did not understand what these things meant. It was only later when he was glorified that they realized what had happened had been prophesied and applied to him.
Nan kòmansman, disip Li yo pa t konprann bagay sa yo, men lè Jésus te resevwa glwa, Yo sonje ke yo te ekri sou Li e ke yo te fè L bagay sa yo.
17 Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb and raise him from the dead and were telling the story.
Konsa, pèp la ki te avè L lè Li te rele Lazare deyò nan tonm nan, e te fè l leve sòti nan lanmò a, t ap toujou fè temwayaj de Li.
18 That was the reason so many people went to meet Jesus—because they had heard about this miracle.
Pou koz sa, foul la te ale rankontre Li, paske yo te tande ke Li te fè sign sila a.
19 The Pharisees said to one other, “Look, we're getting nowhere. Everyone's running after him.”
Akoz sa a, Farizyen yo te di youn ak lòt: “Nou wè ke nou p ap fè anyen ki bon. Gade, lemonn ap kouri dèyè Li.”
20 Now some Greeks had come to the festival to worship.
Konsa, te gen sèten Grèk pami yo ki t ap monte pou adore nan fèt la.
21 They came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, “Sir, we'd like to see Jesus.”
Yo te ale kote Philippe ki te sòti nan Bethsaïda nan Galilée, e te kòmanse mande li: “Mesye, nou vle wè Jésus.”
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Then they both went to Jesus and told him.
Philippe te vin di André. E André ak Philippe te di Jésus sa.
23 Jesus replied, “The time has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
Jésus te reponn yo e te di: “Lè a rive pou Fis a Lòm nan kapab resevwa glwa.
24 I tell you the truth: unless a grain of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains just one grain. But if it dies, it produces many more grains of wheat.
“Anverite, anverite, Mwen di nou, sof ke yon grenn ble tonbe nan tè epi mouri, li rete pou kont li, men si li mouri, l ap fè anpil fwi.
25 If you love your own life you will lose it, but if you don't love your own life in this world you will keep your life forever. (aiōnios g166)
Moun ki renmen vi li va pèdi l, e moun ki rayi vi li nan mond sa a va konsève li jiska lavi etènèl. (aiōnios g166)
26 If you want to serve me you need to follow me. My servants will be where I am, and my Father will honor anyone who serves for me.
“Si nenpòt moun ap sèvi Mwen, fòk li swiv Mwen. E kote Mwen ye, la sèvitè Mwen va ye tou. Si nenpòt moun ap sèvi Mwen, Papa a va onore li.
27 Now I am troubled. What should I say? ‘Father, save me from this coming time of suffering?’ No, for this is why I came—to go through this time of suffering.
“Koulye a nanm Mwen vin twouble. Epi kisa M ap di: ‘Papa, sove M de lè sa a’? Men se pou rezon sa a ke M te rive nan lè sa a.
28 Father, show the glory of your character.” A voice came from heaven, saying, “I have shown its glory, and I will show it again.”
Papa, ke non Ou kapab resevwa glwa!” Yon vwa te sòti nan syèl la: “Mwen te non sèlman bay li glwa a, men Mwen va bay li glwa ankò.”
29 The crowd that was standing there heard it. Some said it thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
Foul la ki te kanpe la epi te tande sa, te di ke yo tande loraj. Lòt yo te di: “Yon zanj pale avèk Li.”
30 Jesus told them, “This voice spoke not for my sake, but for yours.
Jésus te reponn e te di: “Vwa sa a pa t vini pou kòz pa M, men pou kòz pa nou.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be thrown out.
Koulye a jijman vini sou mond sa a. Koulye a mèt mond sa a va jete deyò.
32 But when I am lifted up from the earth I will attract everyone to me.”
E Mwen, si Mwen gen tan leve wo anwo tè a, va atire tout moun kote Mwen menm.”
33 (He said this to point out the kind of death he was going to die.)
Men Li te di sa pou montre ki kalite mò Li ta pral mouri an.
34 The crowd responded, “The Law tells us that the Messiah will live forever, so how can you say the Son of man must be ‘lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of man’?” (aiōn g165)
Pou sa, foul la te reponn Li: “Nou te tande nan Lalwa ke Kris la ap la jis pou jamen. E kijan ou kapab di: ‘Fis a Lòm nan oblije leve wo?’ Kilès Fis a Lòm sila a?” (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus replied, “The light is here with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that the darkness doesn't overtake you. Those who walk in the dark don't know where they're going.
Akoz sa, Jésus te di yo: “Pou yon ti tan anplis, limyè a pami nou. Mache pandan nou gen limyè a, pou tenèb la pa gen tan pran nou. Sila ki mache nan tenèb la pa konnen kote l ap prale.
36 Put your trust in the light while you still have it so that you can become children of light.” When Jesus had told them this, he left and hid himself from them.
Pandan nou gen limyè a, kwè nan limyè a pou nou kapab vini fis a limyè a.” Bagay sa yo Jésus te pale, epi Li ale kache kò Li pou yo pa jwenn Li.
37 But despite all the miracles he had done in their presence, they still did not trust in Jesus.
Men malgre ke Li te fè tout sign sa yo devan yo, toujou yo pa t kwè nan Li.
38 This fulfilled the message of Isaiah the prophet who said, “Lord, who has believed what we told them? To whom has the Lord's power been revealed?”
Pou pawòl a pwofèt la, Ésaïe, ta kapab akonpli lè l te di: “Senyè, kilès ki kwè nan rapò nou? E a kilès bra Letènèl la devwale?”
39 They were not able to trust him, and as a result they fulfilled what Isaiah also said:
Pou rezon sa, yo pa t kab kwè. Paske Ésaïe te di ankò:
40 “He blinded their eyes, and made their minds dull, so that their eyes would not see, and their minds would not think, and they would not turn to me—for if they did I would heal them.”
“Li te fè zye yo avegle, e te fè kè yo di, sof ke yo wè avèk zye yo, apèsi avèk kè yo, epi vin konvèti, epi Mwen ta geri yo.”
41 Isaiah saw Jesus' glory and said this in reference to him.
Bagay sa yo, Ésaïe te di paske li te wè glwa Li, e akoz ke li te wè glwa Li, li te pale sou Li.
42 Even so many of the leaders did trust in him. However, they did not openly admit it because they did not want the Pharisees to expel them from the synagogue,
Malgre sa, menm anpil nan gran chèf yo te kwè nan Li, men akoz Farizyen yo, yo pa t konfese sa a, akoz krent ke yo ta vin mete deyò nan sinagòg la.
43 loving human admiration more than God's approval.
Paske yo te gen lanvi pou lwanj a lòm olye lwanj Bondye.
44 Jesus called out, “If you trust in me you're not just trusting in me but also in the one who sent me.
Jésus te kriye e te di: “Sila a ki kwè nan Mwen, pa kwè nan Mwen, men nan Li menm ki te voye Mwen an.
45 When you see me, you're seeing the one who sent me.
Sila a ki wè M, wè Li menm ki te voye Mwen an.
46 I have come as a light shining into the world, so if you trust in me you won't remain in the dark.
Mwen te vini kon yon limyè nan mond lan, pou tout moun ki kwè nan Mwen pa rete nan tenèb.
47 I don't judge anyone who hears my words but doesn't do what I say. I came to save the world, not to judge it.
“Si nenpòt moun tande pawòl Mwen yo, e pa kenbe yo, Mwen pa jije li. Paske Mwen pa t vini nan lemonn pou jije lemonn, men pou sove lemonn.
48 Anyone who rejects me and does not accept my words will be judged at the end-time judgment in accordance with what I have said.
“Sila a ki rejte Mwen, epi pa resevwa pawòl Mwen yo, gen youn k ap jije li. Pawòl ke Mwen te pale a se li k ap jije li nan dènye jou a.
49 For I'm not speaking for myself but for my Father who sent me. He is the one who instructed me what to say and how to say it.
“Paske Mwen pa t pale pou kont Mwen, men Papa a, Li menm, ki te voye M te kòmande Mwen kisa pou M pale, e kisa pou M di.
