< Matthew 19 >

1 It came about that when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came to the region of Judea that is beyond the Jordan River.
Lè Jésus te fin pale pawòl sa yo, li te kite Galilée pou ale nan rejyon Judée, lòtbò Jourdain an.
2 Great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
Gran foul yo te swiv Li, e Li te geri yo la.
3 Pharisees came to him, testing him, saying to him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?”
Kèk Farizyen te vin kote Li pou fè pase L eprèv. Yo mande L: “Èske li pèmèt pou yon nonm divòse ak madanm li pou okenn rezon?”
4 Jesus answered and said, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female?
Li te reponn yo: “Èske nou pa konn li ke Sila ki te kreye yo depi nan kòmansman an, te fè yo mal ak femèl,
5 He who made them also said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.'
ke: ‘pou koz sa a, yon nonm ap kite papa li ak manman li pou vin atache a madanm li, epi yo de a ap vini yon sèl chè?
6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one tear apart.”
Konsa, se pa de yo ye ankò, men yon sèl chè. Sa ke Bondye mete ansanm, pa kite okenn moun separe l.’”
7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of divorce and then to send her away?”
Yo te mande L: “Ebyen, poukisa Moïse te kòmande yo pou ‘Bay li yon sètifika divòs e voye li ale?’”
8 He said to them, “For your hardness of heart, Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not that way.
Li te reponn yo: “Akoz kè di nou, Moïse te pèmèt nou divòse ak madanm nou yo, men depi nan kòmansman an, se pa konsa li te ye.
9 I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and the man who marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.”
Mwen di nou: Nenpòt moun ki divòse ak madanm li, sof ke pou imoralite, epi marye avèk yon lòt fanm, li fè adiltè.”
10 The disciples said to Jesus, “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is not good to marry.”
Disip Li yo te di L: “Si se konsa relasyon a yon mesye ye avèk madanm li, li pi bon pou pa marye.”
11 But Jesus said to them, “Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those who are allowed to accept it.
Men Li te di yo: “Se pa tout moun ki kapab aksepte sa nou di a, men sèl sa yo ke li te bay.
12 For there are eunuchs who were that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this teaching, let him receive it.”
Paske gen enik ki te fèt konsa depi nan vant manman yo, e gen enik ki te fèt konsa pa lòm; e gen enik ki te fèt konsa pou tèt yo, pou koz a wayòm syèl la. Sila ki kapab aksepte sa, kite l aksepte li.”
13 Then some little children were brought to him so that he would lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
Apre sa, yo te mennen kèk timoun kote L pou Li ta kapab mete men Li sou yo e priye pou yo; men disip yo te reprimande yo.
14 But Jesus said, “Permit the little children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such ones.”
Konsa, Jésus te di: “Bay timoun yo pèmi, e pa anpeche yo vin kote Mwen, paske wayòm syèl la se pou sila ki tankou yo”.
15 He placed his hands on the children, and then he went away from there.
Apre Li mete men Li sou yo, Li kite la.
16 Behold, a man came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Konsa, youn moun te vini la, e te di: “Mèt, ki bon bagay Mwen kapab fè pou m jwenn lavi etènèl?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesus said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? Only one is good, but if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
Li te di l: “Poukisa ou ap kesyone M sou sa ki bon? Gen yon sèl ki bon, Bondye. Men si ou vle antre nan lavi, kenbe kòmandman yo.”
18 The man said to him, “Which commandments?” Jesus said, “Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,
Li te mande Li: “Kilès nan yo?” Jésus te reponn li: “Ou pa pou touye moun, ou pa pou fè adiltè, ou pa pou vòlè, ou pa pou pote fo temwayaj.
19 honor your father and your mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.”
Onore papa ou avèk manman ou, epi renmen pwochen ou tankou tèt ou.”
20 The young man said to him, “All these things I have obeyed. What do I still need?”
Jennonm nan te di L: “Tout bagay sa yo, mwen fè yo. Kisa mwen manke?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Jésus te di l: “Si ou vle pafè, ale vann tout sa ou posede, bay malere yo, e w ap gen richès nan syèl la; epi vin swiv Mwen.”
22 But when the young man heard what Jesus said, he went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.
Men lè jennonm nan te tande pawòl sa a, li te sòti dezole, paske li te gen anpil byen.
23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jésus te di a disip Li yo: “Anverite Mwen di nou: Li difisil pou yon nonm rich antre nan wayòm syèl la.
24 Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
Ankò, Mwen di nou: Li pi fasil pou yon chamo pase nan zye a yon zegwi, pase pou yon nonm rich antre nan wayòm Bondye a.”
25 When the disciples heard it, they were very astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?”
Lè disip Li yo te tande sa, yo te etone e te di: “Kilès konsa ki kab sove?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Jésus te byen gade yo, e te di: “Avèk moun, li pa posib, men avèk Bondye, tout bagay posib.”
27 Then Peter answered and said to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
Konsa Pierre te reponn Li. Li te di: “Gade, nou fin kite tout bagay pou te swiv Ou. Kisa k ap gen pou nou?”
28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, in the new age when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jésus te di yo: “Anverite, Mwen di nou ke nou ki te swiv Mwen yo, nan tan renouvèlman tout bagay la, lè Fis a Lòm nan vin chita sou twòn Li nan tout glwa Li, nou menm tou, n ap chita sou douz twòn pou jije douz tribi Israël yo.
29 Every one who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or land for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
“Tout moun ki kite kay yo oubyen frè yo oubyen sè yo, papa, Manman, zanfan, oubyen tè pou koz a Non Mwen, ap resevwa anpil fwa sa a, e va eritye lavi etènèl. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
Men anpil moun ki premye ap dènye, e dènye yo, ap vin premye.”
