< Matthew 13 >
1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
Nan jou sa a, Jésus te sòti nan kay la e te chita bò kote lanmè a.
2 Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
Yon gran foul te rasanble bò kote L, epi Li te antre chita nan yon kannòt. Foul la te kanpe arebò lanmè a.
3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
Li te pale anpil bagay avèk yo an parabòl konsa: “Gade byen, yon moun ki t ap plante, te ale deyò pou simen grenn.
4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
Pandan li t ap simen, kèk grenn te tonbe akote wout la, e zwazo te vin manje yo.
5 Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
Gen lòt ki te tonbe kote ki plen wòch kote te manke tè, epi yo te leve byen vit pwiske tè a te manke pwofondè.
6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
Men lè solèy la vin leve, yo te vin sèch; akoz ke yo te manke rasin, yo te vin fennen.
7 Others fell amongst thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
Lòt te tonbe pami pikan e pikan yo te leve toufe yo.
8 Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
Lòt te tonbe nan bon tè kote yo te bay yon bon rekòlt; kèk miltipliye san fwa, kèk swasant fwa, e kèk trant fwa.
9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Sila ki gen zòrèy la, kite li tande.”
10 The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
Disip Li yo te vin kote L e te mande: “Poukisa ou pale avèk yo an parabòl konsa?”
11 He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.
Li te reponn yo: “A nou menm, li pèmèt pou nou konnen sekrè a wayòm syèl la, men pou yo menm, sa poko pèmèt.
12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
Paske pou nenpòt moun ki genyen, l ap vin resevwa plis, e l ap gen an abondans; men pou nenpòt moun ki pa genyen, menm sa li genyen an ap retire nan men l.
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.
Se pou sa Mwen pale ak yo an parabòl; paske pandan y ap gade yo p ap wè, e pandan y ap tande yo p ap koute, ni yo p ap konprann.
14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive;
Se nan yo menm, ke pwofesi Ésaïe a ap akonpli lè l di: ‘Nou va kontinye tande, men nou p ap konprann; nou va kontinye gade, men nap manke apèsi.
15 for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’
Paske kè a pèp sa a pa sansib ankò. Avèk zòrèy yo manke tande e yo fèmen zye yo; otreman yo ta wè avèk zye yo, tande avèk zòrèy yo, konprann avèk kè yo, e retounen pou M ta kapab geri yo.’
16 “But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
“Men beni se zye pa nou paske yo wè; e zòrèy nou paske yo tande.
17 For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.
Anverite, Mwen di nou ke anpil pwofèt ak moun ladwati te vle wè sa ke nou menm wè a, men yo pa t janm wè; e pou tande sa ke nou tande a, men yo pa t tande l.
18 “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
“Pou sa, tande parabòl moun ki t ap simen an.
19 When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
Lè nenpòt moun tande pawòl wayòm nan e li pa konprann li, mechan an (Satan) vini rache sa ki te plante nan kè li a. Sa se grenn ki te simen akote wout la.
20 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;
Sa ki te simen nan wòch yo se moun ki tande pawòl la e imedyatman li resevwa l avèk jwa;
21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
men li pa gen rasin pou kont li, e li dire sèlman pou yon moman. Lè gen afliksyon avèk pèsekisyon akoz pawòl la, byen vit li chite.
22 What was sown amongst the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn )
Epi sila ki te simen pami pikan yo se moun ki tande pawòl la, men tout pwoblèm mond sa a, avèk sediksyon richès yo toufe pawòl la, e li pa donnen fwi. (aiōn )
23 What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”
Konsa, sila ki te gen grenn ki tonbe nan bon tè a, se moun ki tande pawòl la e ki konprann li. Li vrèman pote fwi ki pwodwi pafwa, san fwa, pafwa swasant fwa, e pafwa trant fwa sa li te simen an.”
24 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
Jésus te bay yo yon lòt parabòl. Li te di: “Wayòm syèl la se kon yon nonm ki simen bon semans nan chan li.
25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also amongst the wheat, and went away.
Men pandan ouvriye li yo t ap dòmi, lènmi li yo te vin simen zèb pikan pami ble a, e ale.
26 But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
Men lè ble a te vin leve e fòme tèt grenn, zèb pikan yo te parèt tou.
27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?’
Epi esklav a mèt tè yo te vin di l: ‘Mèt, èske nou pa t simen bon semans nan chan ou an? Kijan konsa li vin plen avèk zèb pikan sa yo.’
28 “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’
“Epi Li te di yo: ‘Yon lènmi te fè sa!’ E esklav yo te di li: ‘Ou pa vle nou ale ranmase yo?’
29 “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
“Men li te di yo: ‘Non, paske pandan nou ap ranmase zèb pikan yo, nou kab derasinen ble a tou.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
Kite toulède grandi ansanm jouk rekòlt la rive. Nan tan rekòlt la, mwen va di ouvriye yo, premyèman, ranmase zèb pikan yo, mare yo nan pake e brile yo. Men ranmase ble a pou mete li nan depo mwen.’”
31 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took, and sowed in his field,
Li te pale yon lòt parabòl a yo menm. Li te di: “Wayòm syèl la tankou yon grenn moutad ke yon nonm te pran pou simen nan jaden li.
32 which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.”
Malgre grenn sa a pi piti pase tout lòt grenn yo, lè li vin grandi, li pi gran pase tout lòt plant nan jaden an, e te vin fè yon pyebwa kote tout zwazo ki vole anlè vin fè nich nan branch li yo.”
33 He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”
Li pale yon lòt parabòl a yo menm konsa: “Wayòm syèl la tankou ledven ke yon fanm te pran pou sere nan twa mezi farin jiskaske tout vin leve.”
34 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,
Tout bagay sa yo, Jésus te pale a foul la an parabòl, epi Li pa t pale avèk yo san parabòl.
35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”
Se te pou akonpli sa ki te pale pa pwofèt yo lè yo te di: “Mwen va ouvri bouch Mwen an parabòl; Mwen va eksprime sekrè ki kache depi fondasyon mond sa a.”
36 Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”
Apre sa, Li kite foul la e Li te ale nan kay la. Disip Li yo te vin kote l pou di: “Eksplike nou parabòl konsènan zèb pikan nan chan an.”
37 He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
Li te di: “Sila a ki simen bon semans lan se Fis a Lòm nan.
38 the field is the world, the good seeds are the children of the Kingdom, and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
Chan an se lemonn, e bon semans lan, se sila yo ki fis a wayòm nan. Zèb pikan yo se sila yo ki fis a mechan an.
39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn )
Epi lènmi ki te simen move grenn nan se Satan. Rekòlt la se fen tan yo, epi ouvriye yo se zanj yo. (aiōn )
40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burnt with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. (aiōn )
Pou sa, menm jan ke zèb pikan yo ranmase e brile avèk dife, konsa sa ap ye nan fen tan yo. (aiōn )
41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and those who do iniquity,
Fis a Lòm nan ap voye zanj li yo pou ranmase fè sòti nan wayòm Li an, tout obstak ki fè moun tonbe, avèk tout sila k ap fè mechanste.
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
L ap jete yo nan founo dife a e nan plas sa a, y ap kriye e y ap manje dan yo.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Konsa, sila ki gen ladwati yo ap fè klè tankou solèy la nan wayòm Papa yo a. Sila ki gen zòrèy la, kite l tande.
44 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
“Wayòm syèl la tankou yon trezò ki te sere nan yon chan. Yon nonm te twouve li e te sere l ankò. Ranpli ak lajwa, li te kouri ale vann tout sa li te posede, e te achte chan sa a.
45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
“Ankò, wayòm syèl la tankou yon machann k ap chèche bèl pèl.
46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
Lè li twouve youn ki gen gran valè, li te ale vann tout sa li te posede pou te achte l.
47 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind,
“Ankò, wayòm syèl la se yon filè ki voye nan lanmè pou ranmase tout kalite pwason.
48 which, when it was filled, fishermen drew up on the beach. They sat down and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
Lè l fin ranpli, yo rale li atè. Yo te chita pou mete bon pwason nan yon veso, e te jete move yo.
49 So it will be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from amongst the righteous, (aiōn )
Konsa sa ap ye nan fen tan yo. Zanj yo ap tou parèt e y ap fè triyaj mechan yo pami jis yo. (aiōn )
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Epi y ap jete mechan yo nan founo dife a, kote y ap kriye e manje dan yo.
51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
“Èske nou konprann tout bagay sa yo?” Yo reponn Li: “Wi”.
52 He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”
Epi Jésus te di yo: “Konsa, chak skrib ki vini yon disip a wayòm nan se tankou yon mèt kay ki fè vin parèt nan trezò li sa ki nèf ak sa ki vye.”
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
Lè Jésus te fini avèk parabòl sa yo, li kite la.
54 Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
Li rive nan vil pa Li a, e Li te kòmanse preche nan sinagòg yo, jiskaske yo te etone e te di: “Kote nonm sa a twouve sajès sila a ak pouvwa fè mirak sa yo?
55 Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
Se pa pitit a chapant la? Èske yo pa rele manman L Marie, e frè li yo Jacques, Joseph, Simon ak Judas?
56 Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”
Epi sè Li yo; èske yo tout pa avèk nou? Ebyen, kote nonm sa a twouve tout bagay sa yo?”
57 They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country and in his own house.”
Konsa, yo te pran ofans de Li. Men Jésus te di yo: “Yon pwofèt p ap janm manke respè sof ke nan pwòp vil li, ak nan pwòp kay li.”
58 He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Li pa t fè anpil mirak la akoz ke yo pa t kwè.
