Jan 12
1 Sis jou anvan fèt Delivrans jwif yo, Jezi tounen Betani kote Laza te rete a. Laza se nonm li te fè leve soti vivan nan lanmò a.
Six days before the passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead.
2 Antan l' te la, yo ofri l' manje. Se Mat ki t'ap sèvi manje a. Laza menm te pami moun ki te chita bò tab la avèk Jezi.
There they made him a supper, and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of those who were at table with him.
3 Lè sa a, Mari pran yon boutèy demi lit plen yon odè ki fèt ak yon fèy yo rele na. Odè sa a te vann byen chè. Li vide tout odè a sou pye Jezi. Apre sa, li siye yo ak cheve li. Tout kay la te plen sant odè a.
Then Mary, taking a pound of the balsam of spikenard, which was very valuable, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair, so that the house was filled with the odor of the balsam.
4 Yonn nan disip Jezi yo, sa ki tapral trayi l' la, Jida Iskariòt, di konsa:
On which, one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was to betray him, said,
5 Poukisa yo pa t' vann odè sa a pou twasan (300) goud? Yo ta bay pòv lajan sa a.
Why was not this balsam sold for three hundred denarii, which might have been given to the poor?
6 Li pa t' di sa paske li te vle fè kichòy vre pou pòv yo, men paske se vòlè li te ye. Se li ki te kenbe kès lajan an, li te konn pran nan sa yo te mete ladan li.
This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and carried what was put in it.
7 Men, Jezi di li: Kite l' an repo! Kite l' konsève odè sa a pou jou y'a mete kò m' nan kavo a.
Then Jesus said, Let her alone. She has reserved this to embalm me, against the day of my burial.
8 Kanta pòv yo, n'a toujou genyen yo avè nou. Men mwen menm, nou p'ap genyen m' tout tan.
For you will always have the poor among you; but me you will not always have.
9 Yon gwo foul moun vin konnen Jezi te Betani. Y' ale Betani, pa sèlman poutèt Jezi, mentou pou wè Laza Jezi te fè leve soti vivan nan lanmò a.
A great number of the Jews, knowing where he was, flocked thither, not on account of Jesus only, but likewise to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Lè sa a, chèf prèt yo pran desizyon pou yo touye Laza tou,
The chief priests, therefore, determined to kill Lazarus also;
11 paske, poutèt li, anpil jwif t'ap vire do ba yo, yo t'ap kwè nan Jezi.
because he proved the occasion that many Jews forsook them, and believed on Jesus.
12 Nan denmen, tout foul moun ki te vini pou fèt Delivrans jwif yo te vin konnen Jezi t'ap rive lavil Jerizalèm.
On the next day, a great multitude, who were come to the festival, hearing that Jesus was on the road to Jerusalem,
13 Lè sa a, yo koupe fèy palmis, yo soti al kontre li. Yo t'ap plede rele: Lwanj pou Bondye. benediksyon pou moun ki vini nan non Mèt la! Wi, benediksyon pou Wa pèp Izrayèl la.
took branches of palm trees, and went out to meet him, crying, Hosanna! blessed be Israel's King, who comes in the name of the Lord.
14 Jezi te jwenn yon ti bourik. Li moute chita sou li, jan sa te ekri nan Liv la:
Now Jesus having found a young ass, was riding on it, agreeably to what is written,
15 Nou pa bezwen pè, nou menm ki nan lavil Siyon an. Gade, men wa nou an ap vini: Li moute yon jenn ti bourik.
"Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold your King comes, sitting on an ass's colt."
16 Disip yo pa t' konprann bagay sa yo lamenm. Men, se jouk apre, lè Jezi te fin moute nan syèl la, yo vin chonje tout bagay sa yo te ekri davans nan Liv la, epi se sa menm ki te rive lè moun yo te fè sa pou li.
These things the disciples did not understand, at first; but after Jesus was glorified, they remembered that thus it had been written concerning him, and that thus they had done to him.
17 Te gen anpil moun ki te la avèk Jezi lè l' te rele Laza pou l' te fè l' soti nan kavo a, lè l' te fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò a. Yo tout t'ap rakonte sa yo te wè.
And the people who had been present, attested that he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead.
18 Se konsa, foul moun yo te vin konnen li te fè mirak sa a. Se poutèt sa yo te vin kontre li.
It was the rumor that he had wrought this miracle, which made the people crowd to meet him.
19 Farizyen yo menm, yonn t'ap di lòt: Nou wè. Nou pa ka fè anyen pou anpeche sa. Gade jan tout moun ap swiv li!
The Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, Are you not sensible that you have no influence? Behold the world is gone after him.
20 Te gen kèk moun peyi Lagrès nan moun ki te vin Jerizalèm pou adore pandan fèt la.
Now, among those who came to worship at the festival, there were some Greeks.
21 Y' al jwenn Filip (ki te moun Betsayda nan peyi Galile), yo di l' konsa: Msye, nou ta renmen wè Jezi.
These applied to Philip, of Bethsaida, in Galilee, making this request, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.
22 Filip al di Andre sa. Epi yo tou de al di Jezi sa.
Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Jezi reponn yo: Koulye a, lè a rive pou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a resevwa lwanj ki pou li a.
Jesus answered them, saying, The time is come, when the Son of Man must be glorified.
24 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Yon grenn mayi ap rete pou kont li toutotan li pa tonbe atè pou l' mouri. Men tou, si l' mouri, l'ap bay anpil grenn.
Most assuredly, I say to you, when a grain of wheat is thrown into the ground, unless it die, it remains single; but if it die, it becomes very fruitful.
25 Moun ki renmen lavi l' ap pèdi li. Men moun ki rayi lavi li pandan l' sou latè a, l'ap konsève l' pou lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. (aiōnios g166)
He who loves his life shall lose it; and he who hates his life in this world, shall preserve it eternally in the next. (aiōnios g166)
26 Si yon moun ap sèvi m', se pou l' swiv mwen tou. Konsa, tout kote m'a ye, sèvitè mwen va la tou. Papa m' va leve tèt tout moun k'ap sèvi mwen.
Would any man serve me? let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant also be. If any man serve me, my Father will reward him.
27 Men koulye a, kè m' boulvèse. Mwen pa konn sa pou m' di. Mwen ta di: Papa, delivre m' anba sa ki pral rive koulye a. Men, se pou sa menm mwen vini, pou m' pase tan soufrans sa a.
Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? But I came on purpose for this hour.
28 Papa o, fè wè pouvwa ou non! Lè sa a, yon vwa soti nan syèl la, li di: Mwen fè wè pouvwa non mwen deja. M'ap fè wè l' ankò.
Father, glorify thy name. Then came a voice out of heaven, which said, I have both glorified, and will again glorify it.
29 Foul moun ki te la yo tande vwa a. Yo t'ap di: Se yon kout loraj! Gen lòt ki t'ap di: Se yon zanj Bondye ki pale avèk li.
The people present heard the sound, and said, It thundered: others said, An angel spoke to him.
30 Men, Jezi di yo: Se pa pou mwen non vwa a pale, se pou nou menm pou nou ka tande.
Jesus said, This voice came not for my sake, but for yours.
31 Koulye a, lè a rive pou yo jije moun ki sou tè sa a. Koulye a, yo pral mete chèf k'ap dominen lemonn lan deyò.
Now must this world be judged. Now must the prince of this world be cast out.
32 Men mwen menm, lè y'a leve m' anlè sou tè a, mwen gen pou m' rale tout moun vin jwenn mwen.
As for me, when I shall be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself.
33 (Lè l' di sa, li t'ap moutre yo ki jan li tapral mouri.)
This he said, alluding to the death which he was to suffer.
34 Foul moun yo reponn li: Nan Liv lalwa nou an, nou wè Kris la gen pou l' viv pou tout tan. Ki jan ou ka di se pou yo leve Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a anlè? Kilès ki Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a? (aiōn g165)
The people answered, We have learned from the law, that the Messiah will live forever. How do you say, then, that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man? (aiōn g165)
35 Jezi reponn yo: Nou gen limyè a la avè nou, men pa pou lontan. Mache pandan nou gen limyè a pou fènwa pa bare nou. Moun k'ap mache nan fènwa pa konnen kote l' prale.
Jesus said to them, Yet a little while the light continues with you; walk, while you have it, lest darkness overtake you: for he that walks in darkness knows not whither he goes.
36 Mete konfyans nou nan limyè a pandan nou genyen l' lan, pou nou kapab moun limyè a. Apre li fin di yo pawòl sa yo, Jezi wete kò l', li al kache byen lwen.
Confide in the light, while you enjoy it, that you may be sons of light. Having spoken these words, he withdrew himself privately from them.
37 Atout li te fè tout mirak sa yo devan yo, yo pa t' kwè nan li.
But, though he had performed so many miracles before them, they believed not on him;
38 Se konsa, pawòl pwofèt Ezayi te di a rive vre: Bondye, kilès ki te kwè mesaj nou te bay la? Ki moun ki te rekonet travay Bondye a nan sa ki rive a?
so that the word of the Prophet Isaiah was verified, "Lord, who has believed out report?" and, "To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?"
39 Non. Yo pa t' kapab kwè, paske men sa Ezayi te di ankò:
For this reason they could not believe; Isaiah having said, also,
40 Bondye bouche tou de je yo. li fèmen lespri yo, pou yo pa wè nan je yo, pou yo pa konprann ak lespri yo, pou yo pa tounen vin jwenn mwen pou m' ta geri yo.
"He has blinded their eyes, and blunted their understanding, that they might not see with their eyes, comprehend with their understanding, and be converted, that I might heal them."
41 Ezayi te di sa paske li te wè pouvwa Jezi, epi li pale sou li.
These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke concerning him.
42 Malgre sa, menm pami chèf jwif yo, anpil moun te kwè nan Jezi. Men, akòz farizyen yo, yo pa t' kite moun wè sa pou yo pa t' mete yo deyò nan sinagòg la.
Nevertheless, there were several, even of the magistrates, who believed on him; but, for fear of the Pharisees, did not avow it, lest they should be expelled the synagogue;
43 Yo te pito lwanj ki soti nan men lèzòm pase lwanj ki soti nan men Bondye.
for they preferred approbation of men to the approbation of God.
44 Jezi pale byen fò, li di: Moun ki kwè nan mwen, se pa nan mwen sèlman li kwè, men li kwè nan moun ki voye m' lan tou.
Then Jesus, raising his voice, said, He who believes on me, believes not on me only; but on him who sent me.
45 Moun ki wè m', li wè moun ki voye m' lan tou.
And he who beholds me, beholds him who sent me.
46 Mwen menm, mwen se limyè sou latè. Tout moun ki kwè nan mwen p'ap rete nan fènwa.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me, may not remain in darkness.
47 Lè yon moun tande pawòl mwen yo, si l' pa kenbe yo, se pa mwen k'ap kondannen li. Paske, mwen vin pou delivre moun, mwen pa vin pou kondannen yo.
And if any man hear my words, but do not observe them; it is not I, who condemn him; for I came, not to condemn the world, but to save the world.
48 Men, moun ki refize kwè nan mwen, ki pa asepte pawòl mwen yo, li jwenn ak sa k'ap kondannen l' lan: Pawòl mwen te di yo, se yo menm k'ap kondannen l' lè dènye jou a va rive.
He who despises me, and rejects my instructions, has that which condemns him. The doctrine which I have taught will condemn him at the last day.
49 Se pa pawòl pa m' m'ap pale la a. Men, Papa ki voye m' lan, se li menm ki ban m' lòd sa pou m' di ak sa pou m' pale.
For I have not said anything from myself; but the Father who sent me, has commanded me what I should enjoin, and what I should teach.
