< Matthew 21 >

1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
Lè yo te pwoche Jérusalem pou rive kote Bethphagé nan Mòn Oliv la, Jésus te voye de nan disip li yo,
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find a donkey tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
epi te di yo: “Ale nan vilaj anfas nou an, epi nou va twouve yon bourik ki mare la avèk pitit li. Demare yo, e mennen yo ban Mwen.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
Epi si yon moun di nou yon bagay, nou va di li konsa: ‘Senyè a gen bezwen yo’, epi lapoula, l ap voye yo.”
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
Tout sa te fèt pou sa ki te pale pa pwofèt la ta kapab akonpli, lè li te di:
5 Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon a donkey, and a colt the foal of a donkey.
“Pale a fi Sion an, Men gade, Wa ou ap vin kote ou, dou, e monte sou yon bourik, yon jenn bourik, Pitit a yon bèt ki pote chaj”.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
Epi disip yo te ale fè tout sa Li te mande yo.
7 And brought the donkey, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
Konsa yo te mennen bourik la avèk Pitit li a e te mete vètman yo, epi konsa, sou vètman yo Li te chita.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
Pifò nan foul la te plase vètman yo louvri sou wout la, e kèk lòt t ap koupe branch nan bwa yo pou plase sou wout la.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
Foul la ki te ale devan Li, ni sa ki te swiv Li t ap rele: “Ozana (Glwa a Bondye) a Fis a David la! Beni se Sila ki vini nan non Senyè a! Ozana nan pi wo a!”
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
Lè Li te antre Jérusalem, tout vil la te byen boulvèse e t ap di: “Ki moun sa ye?”
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Epi foul la t ap di: “Sa se pwofèt Jésus ki sòti Nazareth nan Galilée a”.
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
Jésus te antre nan tanp lan e te chase mete tout moun deyò ki t ap achte e vann nan tanp lan. Li te chavire tab a moun ki t ap chanje lajan yo, avèk chèz a moun ki t ap vann toutrèl yo.
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Li te di yo: “Li ekri: ‘Lakay Mwen an va rele yon kay pou lapriyè,’ men nou menm, nou fè li yon twou kachèt pou vòlè!”
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Avèg yo avèk bwate yo te vin kote L nan tanp lan, e Li te geri yo.
15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
Men lè chèf prèt yo avèk skrib yo te wè tout mèvèy ke Li te fè yo, epi timoun nan tanp yo ki t ap kriye: “Ozana a Fis a David la!”, yo te ankòlè anpil.
16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
Epi yo te di Li: “Ou pa tande kisa timoun sa yo ap di?” Jésus te reponn yo: “Wi, nou pa janm konn li ‘Nan bouch a timoun avèk ti bebe k ap tete yo, nou prepare lwanj pou Ou menm’”?
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
Li te kite yo, e sòti pou ale nan vil Béthanie pou pase nwit lan.
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
Alò nan maten, Li te retounen nan vil la. Li te vin grangou.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
Li te wè yon sèl pye fig frans akote wout la. Men lè L vin kote l, Li pa twouve anyen sof ke fèy yo. Konsa Li pale li: “Ou p ap janm gen fwi ki sòti sou ou ankò!” Epi lapoula, pye fig frans lan te vin fennen nèt. (aiōn g165)
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
Lè yo wè sa, disip yo te etone. Yo te di: “Kijan fig frans sa a fè vin fennen nan yon moman konsa?”
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
Jésus te reponn e te di yo: “Anverite Mwen di nou: Si nou gen lafwa e nou pa doute, non sèlman n ap fè sa ki te fèt a fig frans lan, men menm si nou di a mòn sa a: ‘Leve ale jete ou nan lanmè’, sa va fèt.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Epi tout sa nou mande nan lapriyè e kwè, nou va resevwa li.”
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
Lè Li te fin antre nan tanp lan, chèf prèt yo avèk lansyen pami pèp la te vin kote L pandan Li t ap enstwi pou mande L: “Pa ki otorite Ou fè bagay sa yo? Se kilès ki te bay ou otorite sila a?”
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Jésus te reponn yo: “M ap mande nou yon bagay tou, e si nou reponn Mwen, M ap fè nou konnen pa ki otorite Mwen fè bagay sila yo.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
Batèm a Jean an, kibò li sòti? Èske sous li se syèl la, oubyen lòm?” Konsa, yo te kòmanse rezone pami yo menm. Yo te di: “Si nou di ‘syèl la’, L ap di nou ‘ebyen poukisa nou pa t kwè l?’
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
Men si nou di ‘lòm’, nou pè foul la, paske yo tout kwè ke Jean te yon pwofèt.”
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
Yo te reponn Jésus. Yo te di: “Nou pa konnen”. Li te reponn yo: “Ni Mwen menm p ap di nou pa ki otorite Mwen fè bagay sa yo.”
28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
“Men kisa nou panse? Yon nonm te gen de fis. Li te vini a premye a, e te di l: ‘Fis mwen, ale travay pou mwen jodi a nan chan rezen an.’”
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
“Li te reponn: ‘M p ap prale’. Men, apre li te regrèt sa, e li te ale.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
“Nonm nan te rive kote dezyèm nan, e te di menm bagay la. Men li menm te reponn, e te di: Avozòd! Men li pa t ale.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
Kilès nan de fis sa yo ki te fè volonte a papa l?” Yo te reponn: “Premye a”. Jésus te di yo: “Anverite, Mwen di nou ke kolektè kontribisyon yo avèk fanm movèz vi yo va antre nan wayòm syèl la avan nou menm.
32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
Paske Jean te vini a nou menm nan chemen ladwati, men nou pa t kwè li; men kolektè kontribisyon yo avèk fanm movèz vi yo te kwè li. Men nou menm ki te wè sa, nou pa t menm repanti lè l fin fèt pou nou ta kwè li.
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
“Koute yon lòt parabòl. Te gen yon mèt tè ki te plante yon chan rezen. Li te antoure li avèk yon miray. Li te fouye yon rezèvwa pou kraze rezen yo, e te bati yon tou ki wo. Li te antann demwatye ak kiltivatè yo, e te ale fè yon vwayaj.
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
“Lè lè rekòlt la te rive, li te voye esklav li yo jwenn kiltivatè yo pou resevwa pwodwi pa li a.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Konsa, kiltivatè yo te pran esklav li yo, te bat youn, te touye yon lòt, e yo te kalonnen twazyèm lan avèk kout wòch.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
“Ankò lite voye yon lòt ekip esklav pi gran pase premye yo, e yo fè yo menm bagay la.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
“Men anfen, li te voye fis li a. Li te di: ‘Y ap respekte fis mwen an.’
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Men lè kiltivatè yo te wè fis la, yo te di pami yo, ‘Sa se eritye a. Vini, annou touye li epi sezi eritaj li a.’
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
Konsa, yo te pran li, voye li deyò chan an e yo te touye li.”
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
“Akoz sa, lè mèt teren an vini, kisa l ap fè avèk kiltivatè sa yo?”
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Yo te di Li: “L ap mennen malveyan sa yo a yon move fen, epi li va lwe chan sa a bay lòt kiltivatè k ap peye li sa yo dwe yo nan pwòp lè yo.”
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Jésus te di yo: “Èske nou pa janm li nan Ekriti Sen yo, ‘Wòch ke sila ki t ap bati yo te rejte a, te devni wòch ang prensipal la. Sa te sòti nan Senyè a, e se te yon mèvèy nan zye nou.’?”
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
“Akoz sa Mwen di nou: Wayòm syèl la ap vin pran nan men nou pou plase bay yon nasyon k ap pwodwi fwi li.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Epi sila ki tonbe sou wòch sila ap kraze an mòso, men sou sila ke li tonbe a, l ap gaye li tankou poud.”
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
Lè chèf prèt ak Farizyen yo te tande parabòl Li yo, yo te konprann ke Li t ap pale de yo menm.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Lè yo te chèche mwayen sezi Li, yo te krent foul la paske yo te konsidere Li kon yon pwofèt.
