Lik 8
1 Apre sa, Jezi mache ale nan tout lavil yo ak nan tout bouk yo. Li t'ap mache bay mesaj la, li t'ap anonse bon nouvèl peyi kote Bondye Wa a. Douz disip yo te toujou avè li.
And it came to pass thereafter, that He was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the Kingdom of God, and the Twelve [are] with Him,
2 Te gen kèk fanm avè l' tou. Se moun li te wete move lespri sou yo, li te geri maladi yo. Te gen Mari (yo te rele moun Magdala a). Jezi te wete sèt move lespri sou li.
and certain women who were healed of evil spirits and sicknesses, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
3 Te gen Jan, madanm Chouza, yonn nan jeran Ewòd yo. Te gen Sizan ak anpil lòt ankò. Yo tout yo t'ap ede Jezi ansanm ak disip li yo ak sa yo te genyen.
and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to Him from their substance.
4 Lè sa a, te gen yon gwo foul moun ki te sanble; moun te soti nan divès vil vin bò kot Jezi. Li pran rakonte yo parabòl sa a:
And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming to Him, He spoke by an allegory:
5 Yon nonm soti pou li ale simen grenn nan jaden li. Pandan l' t'ap simen grenn yo, kèk grenn tonbe bò chemen an: Pye pile yo, zwezo nan syèl vini, yo manje yo.
“The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 Yon pati tonbe nan mitan wòch; grenn yo leve. Men, yo cheche paske yo pa t' jwenn tè fre.
And other fell on the rock, and having sprung up, it withered, through having no moisture.
7 Yon lòt pati tonbe nan mitan pye pikan. Pye pikan yo grandi ansanm ak bon ti plant yo, yo toufe yo.
And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, choked it.
8 Men, yon lòt pati ankò tonbe nan bon tè. Plant yo leve, yo donnen: yo bay san (100) pou yonn. Lè l' fin di sa, li di ankò: Si nou gen zòrèy pou n' tande, tande.
And other fell on the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit a hundredfold.” Saying these things, He was calling, “He having ears to hear—let him hear.”
9 Disip li yo mande l' kisa parabòl sa a vle di.
And His disciples were questioning Him, saying, “What may this allegory be?”
10 Li reponn yo: Pou nou, yo fè nou konnen tout sekrè peyi kote Bondye Wa a. Men, pou lòt moun yo, yo ba yo l' an parabòl; konsa yo mèt gade, yo p'ap wè, yo mèt tande, yo p'ap konprann.
And He said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in allegories, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 Men sa parabòl sa a vle di: Grenn y'ap simen an se pawòl Bondye.
And this is the allegory: the seed is the word of God,
12 Gen moun ki sanble ak tè bò chemen kote grenn yo tonbe a. Yo tande, men Satan vini, li rache pawòl la nan kè yo pou yo pa kwè, pou yo pa sove.
and those beside the way are those hearing, then comes the Devil, and takes up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.
13 Gen lòt moun ki sanble tè ki gen anpil wòch la. Yo tande pawòl la, yo resevwa l' ak kè kontan; men yo pa kite l' pouse rasin, yo pa kwè l' pou lontan. Lè eprèv tonbe sou yo, yo vire do bay Bondye.
And those on the rock: they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 Grenn ki tonbe nan mitan pikan yo, se moun ki tande pawòl la, men lè y al fè wout yo, yo kite traka lavi, richès ak plezi ki nan lavi toufè l'. Yo donnen men donn yo pa janm rive rèk.
And that which fell to the thorns: these are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and do not bear to completion.
15 Grenn ki tonbe nan bon tè a, se moun ki sensè, ki gen bon kè, ki tande pawòl la, yo kenbe l' nan kè yo. Yo toujou rete fèm jouk yo donnen.
And that in the good ground: these are they who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.
16 Pesonn pa limen yon lanp pou l' kouvri l' anba yon mamit, osinon pou l' mete l' anba yon kabann. Li mete l' sou yon etajè. Konsa, moun k'ap antre yo kapab wè limyè a.
And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel, or puts [it] under a bed; but he puts [it] on a lampstand, that those coming in may see the light,
17 Nanpwen anyen ki kache ki p'ap devwale, nanpwen sekrè pou moun pa rive konnen, ki p'ap parèt aklè.
for nothing is secret, that will not become visible, nor hid, that will not be known and become visible.
18 Se poutèt sa, fè atansyon jan n'ap tande pawòl la. Paske, moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò. Men, moun ki pa gen anyen an, y'a wete nan men l' menm ti sa l' te kwè li te genyen an.
See, therefore, how you hear, for whoever may have, there will be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seems to have will be taken from him.”
19 Manman Jezi ak frè l' yo te vin kote li. Men, yo pa t' kapab rive pre li akòz foul moun yo.
And there came to Him His mother and brothers, and they were not able to get to Him because of the multitude,
20 Moun yo di l' konsa: Men manman ou ak frè ou yo deyò a. Yo anvi wè ou.
and it was told Him, saying, “Your mother and Your brothers stand outside, wishing to see You”;
21 Men, Jezi di yo tout: Manman m' ak frè m', se moun ki koute pawòl Bondye a epi ki fè sa pawòl la di.
and He answering said to them, “My mother and My brothers! They are those who are hearing the word of God, and doing.”
22 Yon jou, Jezi moute nan yon kannòt ak disip li yo. Li di yo: Ann janbe lòt bò letan an. Lamenm yo pati.
And it came to pass, on one of the days, that He Himself went into a boat with His disciples, and He said to them, “We may go over to the other side of the lake”; and they set forth,
23 Pandan yo t'ap navige, dòmi pran Jezi. Yon gwo van vin leve sou letan an, dlo kòmanse plen kannòt la, kifè lavi yo tout te an danje.
and as they are sailing He fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.
24 Yo pwoche bò kot Jezi yo souke l', yo di li: Mèt, Mèt, se mouri n'ap mouri wi! Jezi leve, li pale byen fò ak van an ansanm ak lanm lanmè yo: tout bagay vin byen trankil, yon gwo kalmi fèt.
And having come near, they awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we perish!” And He, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,
25 Epi Jezi di yo: Kote konfyans nou ye? Men, yo te pè, yo te sezi. Yonn t'ap di lòt konsa: Ki moun li ye menm? Li kòmande menm van ak lanmè, yo obeyi li.
and He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they being afraid wondered, saying to one another, “Who, then, is this, that He even commands the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”
26 Yo fè tè nan peyi Jerazenyen yo ki lòt bò letan an, vizaviz ak Galile.
And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes that is opposite Galilee,
27 Jezi desann atè. Lamenm yon nonm lavil la vin devan l': nonm lan te gen anpil move lespri sou li. Depi lontan li pa t' janm vle mete rad sou li, ni li pa t' vle rete nan ankenn kay, se nan mitan tonm mò yo li t'ap viv.
and He having gone forth on the land, there met Him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and was not clothed with a garment, and was not abiding in a house, but in the tombs,
28 Lè l' wè Jezi, li bay yon gwo rèl, li lage kò l' atè devan Jezi, li pran pale byen fò, li di li konsa: Kisa m' gen avè ou, Jezi, Pitit Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la? Tanpri souple, pa fè m' soufri.
and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before Him, and with a loud voice, said, “What [regards] me and You, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I implore You, may You not afflict me!”
29 Li te pale konsa paske Jezi te pase move lespri a lòd pou li soti sou nonm lan. Anpil fwa, lespri a te vin sou li: lè konsa, yo te konn mare tou de men l' ak tou de pye l' ak chenn pou l' pa t' kouri. Men, li te jwenn mwayen pete chenn yo epi move lespri a te mennen l' ale nan dezè.
For He commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and shackles—guarded, and breaking apart the bonds he was driven by the demons into the deserts.
30 Jezi mande li: Ki jan ou rele? Li reponn: Yo rele m' Rejiman. Li di sa paske se anpil move lespri ki te sou nonm lan.
And Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons were entered into him,
and he was calling on Him that He may not command them to go away into the abyss, (Abyssos g12)
32 Sou ti mòn lan te gen yon bann kochon ki t'ap chache manje pou yo manje. Move lespri yo pran mande Jezi: Tanpri souple, kite nou antre nan kochon sa yo. Jezi ba yo pèmisyon sa a.
and there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they were calling on Him that He might permit them to enter into these, and He permitted them,
33 Lè sa a, move lespri yo soti sou nonm lan, yo antre nan kochon yo. Lamenm tout bann kochon yo pran degrengole desann bò falèz la, y' al neye tèt yo nan letan an.
and the demons having gone forth from the man, entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.
34 Moun ki t'ap gade kochon yo, lè yo wè sak te rive, yo pran kouri, yo gaye nouvèl la nan lavil la kou andeyò.
And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;
35 Moun soti pou y' al wè sak te pase. Lè yo rive kote Jezi te ye a, yo jwenn nonm lan: move lespri yo te soti sou li, li te chita nan pye Jezi byen abiye ak tout bon sans li sou li. Yo tout te pè.
and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;
36 Moun ki te asiste bagay la mete rakonte yo ki jan nonm ki te gen move lespri sou li a te geri.
and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.
37 Lè sa a, tout moun nan peyi Jerazenyen yo mande Jezi pou li al fè wout li kite peyi a, paske yo te pè anpil. Jezi moute nan kannòt la pou l' ale.
And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes asked Him to go away from them, because they were pressed with great fear, and He having entered into the boat, turned back.
38 Nonm ki te gen move lespri soti sou li a mande l' pou li ale avèk li tou. Men, Jezi voye l' ale, li di li:
And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was imploring of Him to be with Him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Tounen lakay ou; al rakonte tou sa Bondye fè pou ou. Nonm lan pati, li mache fè konnen tou sa Jezi te fè pou li nan tout lavil la.
“Return to your house, and tell how God did great things to you”; and he went away through all the city proclaiming how Jesus did great things to him.
40 Lè Jezi tounen lòt bò letan an, yon foul moun resevwa l', paske tout moun t'ap tann li.
And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received Him, for they were all looking for Him,
41 Yon nonm yo rele Jayiris vin rive. Se li ki te chèf sinagòg la. Li lage kò l' nan pye Jezi, li mande li: Tanpri souple, ann al lakay.
and behold, there came a man whose name [is] Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on Him to come to his house,
42 Mwen gen yon tifi douzan ki sèl pitit fi m', mwen kite l' prèt pou mouri. Pandan Jezi tapral lakay Jayiris, yon foul moun t'ap kwense l' toupatou.
because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in His going away, the multitudes were thronging Him,
43 Te gen yon fanm nan foul moun yo ki te malad: Depi douzan li t'ap pèdi san. Li te fin depanse tout byen l' kay dòktè, san yo yonn pa t' kapab geri li.
and a woman, being with a flow of blood for twelve years, who, having spent all her living on physicians, was not able to be healed by any,
44 Li pwoche pa dèyè, li manyen ke rad Jezi. Latou, san an rete.
having come near behind, touched the fringe of His garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stood still.
45 Jezi mande: Ki moun ki manyen m' lan? Tout moun pran di se pa yo. Lè sa a, Pyè di li: Men, Mèt, se nan mitan yon foul moun ou ye, moun ap kwense ou tout jan.
And Jesus said, “Who [is] it that touched Me?” And all denying, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press You, and throng [You], and You say, Who [is] it that touched Me?”
46 Men, Jezi reponn li: Mwen di ou gen yon moun ki manyen m', paske mwen santi yon fòs soti sou mwen.
And Jesus said, “Someone touched Me, for I knew power having gone forth from Me.”
47 Lè sa a, fanm lan wè yo te dekouvri l', li pran tranble kou yon fèy bwa, li vin lage kò l' nan pye Jezi, li pran rakonte devan tout pèp la poukisa li te manyen l', ki jan li te geri menm lè a tou.
And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before Him, for what cause she touched Him declared to Him before all the people, and how she was healed instantly;
48 Jezi di li: Mafi, se konfyans ou nan Bondye ki geri ou; ale ak kè poze.
and He said to her, “Take courage, daughter, your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.”
49 Jezi t'ap pale toujou lè yon nonm soti lakay chèf sinagòg la vin di li: Tifi ou la mouri; ou pa bezwen deranje mèt la pase sa.
While He is yet speaking, there comes a certain one from the chief of the synagogue’s [house], saying to him, “Your daughter has died, do not harass the Teacher”;
50 Men, lè Jezi tande sa, li di Jayiris konsa: Pa pè. Sèlman, met konfyans ou nan mwen, pitit la va geri.
and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid, only believe, and she will be saved.”
51 Lè Jezi rive lakay la, li pa kite tout moun yo antre ak li. Li pran Pyè, Jan, Jak epi papa ak manman pitit la.
And having come into the house, He permitted no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;
52 Tout moun t'ap kriye, yo t'ap plenn lanmò pitit la. Jezi di yo: Pa kriye. Pitit la pa mouri, se dòmi l'ap dòmi.
and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and He said, “Do not weep, she did not die, but sleeps”;
53 Lè sa a, yo tonbe pase l' nan betiz paske yo te konnen tifi a fin mouri.
and they were deriding Him, knowing that she died;
54 Men, Jezi pran men pitit la, li pale byen fò, li di konsa: Tifi, leve.
and He having put all forth outside, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, “Child, arise”;
55 Lespri tifi a tounen sou li ankò, menm lè a li leve. Jezi pase lòd pou yo ba l' manje.
and her spirit came back, and she arose immediately, and He directed that there be given to her to eat;
56 Papa ak manman tifi a te sezi anpil, men Jezi bay yo lòd pou yo pa di pesonn sak te pase.
and her parents were amazed, but He charged them to say to no one what had come to pass.
