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.
Soon afterward Jesus was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were 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.
as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had gone out,
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.
Joanna the wife of Chuza (Herod's steward), Susanna, and many others. These women provided for Jesus and his disciples out of their own resources.
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:
As a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he said in a parable:
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.
“A sower went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some seed fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, 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.
Other seed fell on rock, and as it grew up, it withered away because it had no moisture.
7 Yon lòt pati tonbe nan mitan pye pikan. Pye pikan yo grandi ansanm ak bon ti plant yo, yo toufe yo.
Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and 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.
But other seed fell into good soil, and when it grew, it produced a hundred times more than what was sown.” As he said this, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 Disip li yo mande l' kisa parabòl sa a vle di.
Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
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.
He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest I speak in parables, so that ‘they may see but not perceive, and hear but not understand.’
11 Men sa parabòl sa a vle di: Grenn y'ap simen an se pawòl Bondye.
“Now this is the meaning of the parable: 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.
The ones along the path are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and 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.
The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. Yet they have no root; they believe for a while, but in a time of testing they 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.
The seed that fell among the thorns are those who have heard, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
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.
But the seed in the good soil are those who hear the word, hold fast to it with an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.
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.
“No one lights a lamp and covers it with a container or puts it under a bed. Instead, it is put on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see its 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 hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything hidden away that will not be made known and come to light.
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.
Therefore consider how you hear, for whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away 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.
Then Jesus' mother and brothers came to him, but they were not able to reach him because of the crowd.
20 Moun yo di l' konsa: Men manman ou ak frè ou yo deyò a. Yo anvi wè ou.
So some people told him, “Yoʋr mother and yoʋr brothers are standing outside, wanting to see yoʋ.”
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.
But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
22 Yon jou, Jezi moute nan yon kannòt ak disip li yo. Li di yo: Ann janbe lòt bò letan an. Lamenm yo pati.
One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they set out,
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 were sailing along, he fell asleep. Then a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were in danger as the boat was being swamped by the waves.
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.
So they came to Jesus and woke him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then he rose and rebuked the wind and the raging water. They ceased, and all was 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.
Then he said to his disciples, “Where is your faith?” But they were afraid and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even 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.
Then they sailed to the region of the Gadarenes, which is across the lake from 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.
When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a man from the city who had been possessed by demons for a long time. This man did not wear clothes or live in a house but among 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.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, “What do yoʋ have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg yoʋ, do not torment 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 Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and he would be bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, but he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into desolate places.
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.
Jesus then asked him, “What is yoʋr name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him.
And he begged Jesus not to 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.
Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding there on the mountain. The demons begged Jesus to permit them to enter the pigs. So he gave them permission.
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.
Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank 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.
When those who had been feeding the pigs saw what happened, they ran off and reported it in the city and in the countryside.
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.
So the people came out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind, 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.
Those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been delivered.
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.
Then the entire multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and left.
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:
Now the man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him. But 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 yoʋr house, and declare all that God has done for yoʋ.” So the man went away, proclaiming throughout the entire city all that Jesus had done for him.
40 Lè Jezi tounen lòt bò letan an, yon foul moun resevwa l', paske tout moun t'ap tann li.
Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they had all been waiting 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 named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged 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. As Jesus went on his way, the crowds were pressing in on 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.
Now there was a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, and even though she had spent her entire livelihood on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone.
44 Li pwoche pa dèyè, li manyen ke rad Jezi. Latou, san an rete.
She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his garment, and the flow of her blood stopped at once.
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.
Then Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone denied it, Peter and those who were with him said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding yoʋ and pressing against yoʋ, and yet yoʋ say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46 Men, Jezi reponn li: Mwen di ou gen yon moun ki manyen m', paske mwen santi yon fòs soti sou mwen.
But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I know that power has gone out 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.
When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him, and in the presence of all the people she told him the reason why she had touched him, and how she had been healed at once.
48 Jezi di li: Mafi, se konfyans ou nan Bondye ki geri ou; ale ak kè poze.
Then Jesus said to her, “Take courage, daughter; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ. Go in 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 was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said to him, “Yoʋr daughter has died; do not trouble the teacher.”
50 Men, lè Jezi tande sa, li di Jayiris konsa: Pa pè. Sèlman, met konfyans ou nan mwen, pitit la va geri.
But when Jesus heard this, he said to him in response, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
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.
When he came to the house, Jesus allowed no one to go in, except Peter, John, James, and the child's father and 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.
Meanwhile, all the people were weeping and mourning for her, but Jesus said, “Do not weep; she is not dead but sleeping.”
53 Lè sa a, yo tonbe pase l' nan betiz paske yo te konnen tifi a fin mouri.
And they began laughing at him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Men, Jezi pran men pitit la, li pale byen fò, li di konsa: Tifi, leve.
But Jesus put them all outside, took hold of the girl's hand, and called out, “Child, arise!”
55 Lespri tifi a tounen sou li ankò, menm lè a li leve. Jezi pase lòd pou yo ba l' manje.
Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he told them to give her something to eat.
56 Papa ak manman tifi a te sezi anpil, men Jezi bay yo lòd pou yo pa di pesonn sak te pase.
Her parents were amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
