Jan 11
1 Te gen yon nonm yo te rele Laza ki tonbe malad. Li te rete Betani, yon ti bouk kote Mari t'ap viv ansanm ak Mat, sè l' la.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 (Mari sa a, se te fanm ki te vide odè sou pye Seyè a, epi ki te siye yo ak cheve li. Laza, nonm ki te malad la, se te frè li.)
It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 De sè yo voye yon moun bò kot Jezi pou di li: Seyè, zanmi ou lan malad.
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
4 Lè Jezi tande nouvèl la, li di: Maladi Laza a p'ap touye li. Tou sa rive pou fè moun wè pouvwa Bondye. Se ak maladi sa a Bondye pral fè wè pouvwa Pitit li a.
But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
5 Jezi te renmen Mat, Mari, sè l' la, ansanm ak Laza.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Apre li fin pran nouvèl maladi Laza a, li rete de jou ankò kote l' te ye a.
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Apre sa, li di disip li yo: Ann tounen nan Jide.
Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
8 Disip li yo reponn li: Mèt, pa gen lontan jwif yo t'ap chache touye ou ak kout wòch, epi koulye a ou vle tounen laba a ankò?
The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
9 Jezi di yo: Gen douzè de tan nan yon jounen, pa vre? Si yon moun ap mache lajounen, li p'ap bite, paske li wè limyè k'ap klere tè a.
Jesus answered, “Are not there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Men, si yon moun ap mache lannwit, l'ap kase pye l', paske li pa gen limyè nan li.
But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11 Lè Jezi fin di yo sa, li di ankò: Laza, zanmi nou an, ap dòmi. Mwen pral leve li.
He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
12 Disip yo reponn li: Mèt, si l'ap dòmi, li pral geri.
The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Jezi te vle di yo Laza te mouri, men disip yo te konprann se dòmi Laza t'ap dòmi tankou tout moun konn fè.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Lè sa a, Jezi di yo klè: Laza mouri.
So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
15 Poutèt nou, mwen byen kontan mwen pa t' la. Konsa n'a kwè. Ann al jwenn li.
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
16 Lè sa a, Toma (yo te rele Jimo a) di lòt disip yo: Ann ale tou ansanm ak Mèt la pou n' ka mouri ansanm avè li.
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
17 Lè Jezi rive, li jwenn Laza te gen tan antere depi kat jou.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Betani te yon ti bouk toupre lavil Jerizalèm, twa kilomèt konsa, pa plis.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 Anpil jwif te vin lakay Mat ak Mari pou konsole yo ak lanmò frè yo a.
Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Lè Mat vin konnen Jezi t'ap vini, li pati, li al kontre li. Men, Mari te rete chita nan kay la.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Mat di Jezi konsa: Mèt, si ou te la, frè m' lan pa ta mouri non.
Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Men, mwen konn sa: menm koulye a, Bondye va ba ou nenpòt kisa ou mande li.
Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23 Jezi di li: Frè ou la va leve vivan ankò.
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Mat reponn li: Wi, mwen konn sa. Li gen pou l' leve vivan ankò nan dènye jou a, lè tout moun mouri yo va leve.
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Jezi di li: Se mwen menm ki leve moun mouri yo, se mwen menm ki bay lavi. Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan mwen, yo gen pou yo viv menm si yo rive mouri.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
Whoever lives and believes in me will never die in this age (aiōn g165). Do you believe this?"
27 Mat reponn li: Wi, Seyè, mwen kwè ou se Kris la, Pitit Bondye. Ou se moun ki te gen pou vini sou latè a.
She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
28 Lè Mat fin di sa, l' al rele Mari, sè l' la, li di l' nan zòrèy: Mèt la la wi. Li mande pou ou vin jwenn li.
When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
29 Tande Mari tande sa, li leve, li kouri al jwenn Jezi.
When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
30 (Jezi pa t' ankò antre nan bouk la. Li te rete kote Mat te kontre l' la.)
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 Jwif yo ki te nan kay la avèk Mari pou konsole l', lè yo wè l' leve soti, yo swiv li. Yo te konprann li tapral kriye bò kavo a.
Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 Lè Mari rive kote Jezi te ye a, wè li wè l', li lage kò l' atè nan pye l', li di l' konsa: Seyè, si ou te la, frè m' lan pa ta mouri.
Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 Jezi wè jan li t'ap kriye ansanm ak jwif yo ki te vin avè l' yo, sa te fè l' mal anpil, kè l' t'ap fann.
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 Li mande yo: Ki bò nou antere li? Yo reponn li: Seyè, vin wè non.
and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jezi kriye.
Jesus wept.
36 Lè sa a, jwif yo di: Gade jan li te renmen l' non!
The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
37 Men, te gen kèk nan yo ki t'ap di: Li menm ki louvri je avèg yo, li pa t' kapab anpeche Laza mouri?
Some of them said, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
38 Sa te fè Jezi pi mal ankò. li al bò kavo a. Se te yon gwòt avèk yon wòch yo te mete devan bouch li.
Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jezi di yo: Wete wòch la. Mat, sè mò a, di l' konsa: Seyè, li dwe kòmanse santi deja, sa fè kat jou depi l' nan kavo a.
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
40 Jezi reponn li: Mwen pa deja di ou: Si ou kwè, wa wè pouvwa Bondye?
Jesus said to her, “Did not I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
41 Se konsa, yo wete wòch la. Jezi leve je l' anlè nan syèl la, li di: Mèsi, Papa, dèske ou te tande mwen.
So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 Mwen menm, mwen konnen ou toujou tande m', men se poutèt moun sa yo ki bò kote m' lan m'ap di ou sa, pou yo sa kwè se ou menm ki voye mwen.
I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
43 Lè l' fin di pawòl sa yo, li rele byen fò: Laza, soti deyò!
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Mò a soti, de pye l' ak de men l' yo tou mare ak bann twal, figi l' tou vlope nan yon moso twal. Jezi di yo: Demare l' non, kite l' ale.
He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”
45 Nan jwif ki te vin kay Mari yo epi ki te wè sa Jezi te fè a, anpil te kwè nan li.
Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
46 Men, gen ladan yo ki al jwenn farizyen yo. Yo rakonte yo sa Jezi te fè.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 Farizyen yo menm ansanm ak chèf prèt yo reyini Gran Konsèy la. Yo mande: Kisa n'ap fè? Nonm sa a ap fè anpil mirak.
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Si nou pa fè l' sispann, tout moun pral kwè nan li. Talè konsa, otorite women yo va antre nan koze a, y'a detwi ni tanp nou an ni peyi nou an.
If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49 Te gen yonn ladan yo ki te rele Kayif. Se li menm ki te granprèt pou lanne a. Li di yo: Gen lè nou pa konprann anyen!
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
50 Nou pa wè li pi bon pou nou si yon sèl moun mouri pou pèp la. Konsa tout peyi a va sove.
nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
51 (Kayif pa te di sa konsa non. Men, li te granprèt pou lanne a, konsa li t'ap fè konnen davans ki jan Jezi te dwe mouri pou tout jwif ki nan peyi a.
Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 Epi, pa sèlman pou jwif yo, men tou pou l' te sanble tout pitit Bondye ki gaye yo nan yon sèl kò.)
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Se depi jou sa a otorite jwif yo pran desizyon pou yo touye Jezi.
So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
54 Se poutèt sa tou Jezi te sispann fè ale vini nan mitan jwif yo an piblik. Li mete kò l' yon kote toupre dezè a, nan yon vil yo rele Efrayim. Se la li te rete ak disip li yo.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
55 Fèt Delivrans jwif yo te prèt pou rive. Anpil moun soti toupatou nan peyi a, yo moute Jerizalèm anvan fèt la pou yo te ka fè sèvis pou mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo sèvi Bondye.
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Yo t'ap chache Jezi. Antan yo tout te nan tanp lan, yonn t'ap mande lòt: Sa nou di? Ou kwè l'ap vin nan fèt la?
Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he is not coming to the feast at all?”
57 Chèf prèt yo ansanm ak farizyen yo te bay lòd sa a: Si yon moun te konnen kote Jezi te ye, se pou l' fè yo konnen pou yo ka arete li.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
