Mark 3
1 [On another] ([Sabbath/Jewish day of rest]), Jesus entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) again. There was a man there whose hand was shriveled.
Li te antre ankò nan sinagòg la, epi yon nonm te la avèk yon men sèch.
2 [Some men of the Pharisee sect] watched him carefully in order to see whether he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this in order that [if he healed the man], they would accuse him of disobeying [their Jewish laws, because he worked] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
Yo t ap veye L pou wè si Li t ap geri li nan Saba a pou yo ta kapab akize Li.
3 Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
Li te di nonm avèk men sèch la: “Leve vin devan!”
4 Then Jesus said [to the Pharisees], “Do the laws [that God gave Moses] permit people to do good ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]), or do they permit people to do evil? Specifically, do his laws permit us to save a person’s life (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit us] to let him die [by refusing to help him]?” But they did not reply.
Li te di yo: “Èske li pèmi nan Saba a pou fè byen, oubyen pou fè mal, pou sove yon vi, oubyen pou touye”? Men yo te rete an silans.
5 He looked around at them angrily. He was very distressed that they were stubbornly [not wanting to help the man]. So he said to the man, “Reach out your hand!” When the man reached out his withered hand, his hand became all right again!
Lè L fin gade toupatou, byen fache, byen blese akoz kè di yo, Li te di a nonm nan: “Lonje men ou”. Li te lonje l, e men li te geri.
6 Then the Pharisees [decided to get rid of Jesus. So] after they left [the meeting house], they [immediately met with some of] the Jews who supported Herod [Antipas, who ruled Galilee district]. Together they planned how they could kill Jesus.
Imedyatman, Farizyen yo te ale deyò pou fè konplo kont Li avèk Ewodyen yo pou wè kijan yo ta kapab detwi Li.
7 Jesus and his disciples left [that] town and went to an area further along [Galilee Lake in order to get away from the people]. But a great crowd of people followed him. They were people who came from Galilee [district],
Jésus te retire kò l bò kote lanmè a ansanm avèk disip Li yo. Yon gran foul ki sòti Galilée t ap swiv li, ansanm avèk moun peyi Judée yo,
8 from Jerusalem [city], from [other towns of] Judea [district], from Idumea [district], from [the region on] the [east] side of the Jordan [River], and from [the region] around Tyre and Sidon [cities]. This great crowd of people came to him because they heard about what he was doing.
avèk Jérusalem, Idumée ak lòtbò Jourdain an ak landwa Tyr avèk Sidon. Yon gwo foul moun ki te tande tout sa Li t ap fè, te vin kote Li.
9 Because he had healed many people, many [other] people who had various illnesses pushed forward in order that by touching him [they would come well]. So he told his disciples that they should get a small boat ready for him [to get in and teach from it]. He wanted to do this in order that the crowd would not crush him [when they pushed forward to touch him].
Li te di disip Li yo ke yon kannòt ta dwe prepare pou Li, akoz gran foul la, pou yo pa peze L twòp.
Paske Li te geri anpil moun, e kon rezilta, tout sa ki te aflije yo t ap peze L pou yo ta kapab touche L.
11 Whenever the evil spirits saw Jesus, [they caused the people whom they controlled] to fall down in front of Jesus [in recognition of Jesus’ power]. Then they exclaimed, “You are (the Son of God/the man who is also God)!”
E nenpòt lè ke move lespri yo te wè L, yo t ap tonbe devan Li, kriye fò e di: “Ou se Fis Bondye a!”
12 He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
Konsa, Li te reponn yo avèk severite pou yo pa di ki moun li te ye.
13 Jesus went [with many other people] up into the hills. After he picked out [from among them] the men whom he wanted [to accompany him], they came [close] to him.
Li te monte sou mòn nan, pou L te rele sila ke Li menm te vle yo, e yo te vin kote Li.
14 He appointed twelve men in order that they might be with him and in order that he might send them out to preach. He called them apostles.
Li te dezinye douz yo, pou yo ta kapab avè L, e pou Li ta kapab voye yo deyò pou preche,
15 He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
e pou yo ta kab gen otorite pou chase move lespri yo:
16 These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
Simon, ki rele Pierre,
17 James, [the son] of Zebedee, and John, the [younger] brother of James, to [both of] whom he added the [new] name, ‘Men who are like Thunder’. [because of their fiery zeal];
Jacques, fis Zébédée a, avèk Jean, frè a Jacques, (a li menm Li te bay non Boanergès ki vle di Fis a tonnè yo);
18 Philip; Bartholomew; Levi, whose other name was Matthew; Thomas; [another] James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus; [another] Simon, who was a [member of the party that wanted] to overthrow [the Roman government];
André, ak Philippe, ak Barthélemy, ak Matthieu, ak Thomas, ak Jacques, fis Alphée a, ak Thaddée, e Simon, Zelòt la;
19 and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
ansanm avèk Judas Iscariot, sila ki te trayi Jésus a.
20 Jesus [along with his disciples] went to the house where he was staying [in Capernaum. Again a crowd gathered where he was]. There were many people crowding around him, so that he and his disciples had no time when they could eat or [when they could do anything else].
Apre, Li te retounen lakay Li, e foul la te rasanble ankò jiskaske yo pa t kab menm manje yon repa.
21 After his relatives heard about this, they went to take him home [with them] because (some people/they) were saying that he was insane.
Lè pwòp fanmi pa Li te tande sa, yo te ale deyò pou pran chaj Li, paske yo t ap di: “Li gen tan pèdi bon tèt Li”.
22 [Around that time] some men who taught the [Jewish] laws came down from Jerusalem [city. They heard that Jesus was expelling demons]. So they were telling [people], “Beelzebub, who rules the evil spirits, controls him. He is the one who enables this man to expel evil spirits [from people]!”
Konsa, skrib ki te sòti Jérusalem yo t ap di: “Se Béelzébul menm ki pran L. Li chase move lespri yo pa mèt move lespri yo”.
23 Jesus summoned those men. [Then he spoke to them] in parables [to enable them to realize that Satan would not oppose his own evil spirits. He also wanted them to realize that by expelling evil spirits, he was demonstrating that he was much more powerful than Satan]. So he said, “([It is ridiculous] to suggest that Satan would expel his own [evil spirits]!/Why would Satan expel his own [evil spirits]?) [RHQ]
Li te rele yo a Li menm, e te kòmanse pale ak yo an parabòl: “Kijan Satan kapab chase Satan mete l deyò?
24 If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
Si yon wayòm divize kont tèt li, wayòm sa a p ap kapab kanpe.
25 And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
Si yon kay divize kont tèt li, kay sa a p ap kab kanpe.
26 Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
Si Satan fin leve kont tèt li, epi li divize, li p ap kab kanpe, men li fini!
27 Contrary to [what you say about me], someone can enter the house of a strong man [like Satan] and carry off his possessions only if he first ties up the strong man. Then [and only then] will he [be able to] steal the things in that man’s house.”
“Men pèsòn p ap kapab antre lakay a yon nonm fò, e piyaje byen li, sof ke premyèman li mare mesye fò a; e apre sa, l ap piyaje kay li.
28 [Jesus also said], “Consider this carefully! People may sin in many ways and they may speak evilly about God, but [if] they [then are sorry and ask God to] forgive [them], [God] will forgive them for doing that.
“Anverite, Mwen di nou tout peche fis a lòm yo ap padone, e menm nenpòt blasfèm yo fè;
30 [Jesus told them that] because [they refused to admit that the Holy Spirit was helping him to expel demons. Instead], they were saying, “An evil spirit is controlling him!”
Paske yo t ap di ke “Li gen yon move lespri”.
31 Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
Alò, manman Li, avèk frè Li yo te rive kanpe deyò a, yo te voye kote Li e te rele Li.
32 A crowd was sitting around Jesus. One of them said to him, “Listen/Hey, your mother and your [younger] brothers and sisters are outside, and they are wanting (to see/to talk with) you!”
Yon foul te chita toupatou antoure L, e yo te di Li: “Gade, manman Ou avèk frè Ou yo ap chèche Ou deyò a”.
33 Jesus replied to them, “([I will tell you something about] my mother and my brothers.[/Do you know whom I consider to be like] my mother and my brothers?)” [RHQ]
Li te reponn yo e te di: “Kilès ki manman M ak frè M?”
34 After he looked around at [the disciples] who were sitting around him [in a circle], he said, “Look here! I [love these men as much as] I [love] my mother and my brothers.
Li te gade toupatou sou sila ki te chita antoure Li yo e Li te di: “Gade, men manman M avèk frè M yo!
35 Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
Paske sila ki fè volonte a Papa M yo, se yo menm ki frè M, sè M, ak manman M”.
