< Matthew 10 >
1 And he called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.
Jezi rele douz disip li yo. Li ba yo pouvwa pou chase move lespri ak pouvwa pou geri tout kalite maladi ak enfimite.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Men non douz apòt yo: Premye a se te Simon (li te ba l' yon ti non: Pyè) ak Andre, frè li. Te gen Jak, pitit Zebede, ak Jan, frè li.
3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
Te gen Filip ak Batèlmi, Toma ak Matye, pèseptè kontribisyon an, Jak, pitit Alfe a, ak Tade.
4 Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
Te gen Simon, patriyòt la ak Jida Iskariòt, nonm ki te lage Jezi nan men lènmi l' yo.
5 Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, "Do not go among the non-Jews, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.
Jezi voye douz mesye yo ale, li ba yo lòd sa a: Piga n' ale nan peyi moun lòt nasyon yo. Pa antre nan lavil Samari yo.
6 Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Okontrè, ale tout kote n'a jwenn moun ras Izrayèl yo ki pèdi.
7 And as you go, proclaim, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is near.'
Sou tout wout nou, bay mesaj sa a: Gouvènman Wa ki nan syèl la prèt pou rive.
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
Geri moun ki malad. Fè moun mouri yo leve. Geri moun ki malad ak lalèp. Chase move lespri yo. Se gratis nou resevwa, se gratis tou pou nou bay.
9 Do not take any gold, nor silver, nor copper in your money belts.
Pa pran ni lò, ni lajan, ni kòb kwiv mete nan pòch nou.
10 Take no bag for your journey, neither two tunics, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
Nou pa bezwen pote sak pou vwayaj la. Pa mete de rad sou nou, pa pran ni soulye, ni baton. Paske, yon travayè merite pou yo ba l' manje.
11 And into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on.
Lè nou rive nan yon lavil, osinon nan yon ti bouk, mande si gen moun ki vle resevwa nou. Rete lakay li jouk lè nou pati.
12 And as you enter into the household, greet it.
Lè n'ap antre nan kay la, n'a di: Benediksyon Bondye sou kay la.
13 And if the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Si moun nan kay la resevwa nou, benediksyon nou an va desann sou li. Men, si l' pa vle resevwa nou, benediksyon an va tounen vin jwenn nou.
14 And whoever does not receive you, nor hear your words, as you leave that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet.
Si yo pa vle resevwa nou, si yo pa vle koute pawòl nou, soti nan kay la, osinon nan lavil la, al fè wout nou. Souke pousyè pye nou.
15 Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Jou jijman an, y'ap peni moun lavil sa a pi rèd pase moun Sòdòm ak moun Gomò.
16 "Look, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be cunning as snakes and innocent as doves.
Gade, mesye! M'ap voye nou tankou mouton nan mitan chen mawon. Se sak fè, se pou nou sou prigad nou tankou pentad, se pou nou inonsan tankou pijon.
17 But beware of people: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.
Pran prekosyon nou ak tout moun; paske y'a trennen nou devan tribinal, y'a bat nou ak kout fwèt nan sinagòg yo.
18 Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
y'a fè nou konparèt devan chèf gouvènman ak devan wa poutèt mwen, pou nou kapab sèvi m' temwen devan yo ak devan moun lòt nasyon yo.
19 But when they deliver you over, do not be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.
Men, lè y'a mennen nou nan tribinal, pa bat kò nou chache sa n'a gen pou n' di, ni jan n'a gen pou n' pale. Lè lè a va rive, Bondye va mete nan bouch nou sa n'a gen pou n' di.
20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
Paske, se pa nou menm ki va pale, men se Lespri Papa nou an ki va mete pawòl nan bouch nou.
21 "And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Frè va denonse frè pou fè touye li. Papa va denonse pitit. Pitit va leve kont papa ak manman pou fè touye yo.
22 And you will be hated by everyone because of my name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
Tout moun pral rayi nou poutèt mwen. Men, moun ki va kenbe fèm jouk sa kaba, se yo ki va sove.
23 But when they persecute you in one city, flee to the other. And if they persecute you in the other, flee to the next. For truly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
Lè y'a pèsekite nou nan yon lavil, sove ale nan yon lòt. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va gen tan vini anvan n'a fin mache nan tout lavil ki nan peyi Izrayèl la.
24 "A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord.
Yon elèv pa pi fò pase mèt li. Nitou, yon domestik pa pi grannèg pase patwon li.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household.
Si yon elèv rive fò tankou mèt li, sa kont pou li; si yon domestik rive tankou patwon li, sa kont pou li. Si yo rele mèt kay la Bèlzeboul, se pa lòt moun nan kay la yo p'ap bay pi move non toujou!
26 Therefore do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.
Se sak fè nou pa bezwen pè pesonn. Pa gen anyen ki kache ki p'ap dekouvri yon lè. Nanpwen sekrè ki p'ap devwale.
27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
Tou sa m'ap di nou nan fènwa, nou menm repete l' gwo lajounen. Tou sa yo di nou nan zòrèy, mache bay li nan tout kalfou.
28 And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna )
Nou pa bezwen pè moun ki kapab touye kò nou, men ki pa kapab touye nanm nou. Se Bondye pou nou pè pito, paske li menm li kapab detwi nanm nou ansanm ak tout kò nou nan lanfè. (Geenna )
29 "Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will,
Eske yo pa vann ti zwazo de pou senk kòb? Malgre sa, pa gen yon sèl ki tonbe atè san Papa nou pa konnen.
30 but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Pou nou menm menm, ata grenn cheve nan tèt nou, yo tout konte.
31 Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Se sak fè, nou pa bezwen pè menm: nou vo pi plis pase anpil ti zwazo.
32 Everyone therefore who confesses me before people, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
Moun ki va kanpe pou mwen devan lèzòm, mwen menm tou, m'a kanpe pou li devan Papa m' ki nan syèl la.
33 But whoever denies me before people, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
Men tou, moun ki va kanpe devan lèzòm pou di li pa konnen m', mwen menm tou, m'a kanpe devan Papa m' ki nan syèl la, m'a di mwen pa konnen l'.
34 "Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.
Pa mete nan tèt nou se lapè mwen vin mete sou latè; mwen pa vin mete lapè, men mwen vin mete divizyon.
35 For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Mwen vin mete divizyon ant pitit gason ak papa yo, ant pitit fi ak manman yo, ant bèlfi ak bèlmè yo.
36 And a person's foes will be those of his own household.
Se pwòp fanmi nou ki va pi gwo lènmi nou.
37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Moun ki renmen papa l' osinon manman l' plis pase m' pa kapab moun pa m'. Moun ki renmen pitit gason l' osinon pitit fi l' plis pase m' pa kapab moun pa m'.
38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
Moun ki pa pran kwa l' pou l' swiv mwen, li pa kapab moun pa m' non plis.
39 Whoever seeks his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Moun k'ap chache asire lavi l' va pèdi li. Men, moun ki va pèdi lavi l' poutèt mwen va jwenn li ankò.
40 Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.
Moun ki resevwa nou, se mwen menm li resevwa. Moun ki resevwa mwen, li resevwa moun ki voye m' lan tou.
41 The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.
Moun ki resevwa yon pwofèt Bondye paske se pwofèt Bondye li ye, moun sa a va resevwa rekonpans yo bay yon pwofèt. Moun ki resevwa yon nonm k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye paske se yon moun dwat li ye, moun sa a va resevwa rekonpans yo bay yon moun k'ap mache dwat.
42 And whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, truly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward."
Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Nenpòt moun ki va bay yonn nan ti piti sa yo menm yon gode dlo frèt paske se disip mwen li ye, moun sa a p'ap pèdi rekonpans li.
