Mak 1
1 Men konmansman Bon Nouvèl ki pale sou Jezikri, Pitit Bondye a.
This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 Nan liv pwofèt Ezayi a, men sa ki te ekri: Bondye di: Men m'ap voye mesaje m' lan devan ou. La louvri chemen an pou ou.
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Look, I am sending my messenger before your face, the one who will prepare your way.
3 Se vwa yon nonm k'ap rele nan dezè a: Pare gran wout Seyè nou an. Plani chemen an byen plani pou li.
The voice of one calling out in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.'”
4 Se konsa Jan te parèt nan dezè a, li t'ap batize, li t'ap mache bay mesaj sa a: -Tounen vin jwenn Bondye. vin resevwa batèm, epi Bondye va padonnen peche nou yo.
John came, baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
5 Tout moun nan peyi Jide a ansanm ak tout pèp lavil Jerizalèm lan te vin jwenn li: yo te konfese peche yo devan tout moun, epi Jan te batize yo nan larivyè Jouden an.
The whole country of Judea and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
6 Jan te mete yon rad pwal chamo sou li, ak yon sentiwon an po mare nan ren li. Se krikèt ak gato myèl li te jwenn nan bwa li te manje.
John was wearing a coat of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and he was eating locusts and wild honey.
7 Li t'ap mache bay mesaj sa a: -Moun k'ap vin apre m' lan gen plis pouvwa anpil pase m'. Mwen pa bon ase pou m' ta bese demare sapat ki nan pye li.
He proclaimed, “One will come after me who is more powerful than I; the strap of his sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
8 Mwen menm, mwen batize nou nan dlo. Men li menm, la batize nou nan Sentespri a.
I baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
9 Menm epòk sa a, Jezi te soti Nazarèt, yon bouk nan peyi Galile. Lè sa a, Jan te batize l' nan larivyè Jouden an.
It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and he was baptized by John in the Jordan River.
10 Antan Jezi t'ap soti nan dlo a, li wè syèl la louvri, epi Lespri Bondye a desann sou li an fòm yon pijon.
As Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens split open and the Spirit coming down on him like a dove.
11 Li tande yon vwa ki soti nan syèl la ki di: -Ou se pitit mwen renmen anpil la. Ou fè kè m' kontan anpil.
A voice came out of the heavens, “You are my beloved Son. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Touswit apre sa, Lespri Bondye a pouse Jezi al nan dezè a.
Then the Spirit compelled him to go out into the wilderness.
13 Li rete la pandan karant jou, epi se la Satan vin tante l'. Jezi t'ap viv nan mitan bèt bwa yo, epi zanj Bondye yo t'ap okipe li.
He was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels served him.
14 Apre yo te fin mete Jan nan prizon, Jezi ale nan peyi Galile pou l' te fè konnen Bon Nouvèl Bondye voye a.
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God.
15 Li t'ap di yo konsa: -Jou a rive. Koulye a, Bondye ki wa nan syèl la ap vin pran pouvwa a nan men li. Tounen vin jwenn Bondye. Asepte Bon Nouvèl la.
He said, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel.”
16 Pandan Jezi t'ap mache bò lanmè Galile a, li wè de pechè pwason, Simon ak Andre, frè li a. Yo t'ap voye privye nan lanmè a.
When he was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 Jezi di yo konsa: -vin jwenn mwen. m'a fè nou tounen pechè moun pito.
Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
18 Lamenm, yo kite privye yo, y' ale avèk li.
Then immediately they left the nets and followed him.
19 Jezi vanse pi lwen, li wè de pitit gason Zebede yo, Jak ak Jan, frè li. Yo te chita nan kannòt yo a, yo t'ap repare privye yo.
As Jesus was walking on a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and John his brother; they were in the boat mending the nets.
20 Lamenm, Jezi rele yo. Yo kite Zebede, papa yo, nan kannòt la ansanm ak ouvrye yo. Y' ale avèk Jezi.
He called them and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and they followed him.
21 Apre sa, Jezi ale ak disip li yo nan yon lavil yo rele Kapènawòm. Jou repo a, Jezi antre nan sinagòg la; li kòmanse moutre moun yo anpil bagay.
Then they came into Capernaum, and on the Sabbath, Jesus went into the synagogue and taught.
22 Yo te sezi tande sa l' t'ap moutre yo. Se pa t' menm jan avèk dirèktè lalwa yo, paske li te pale ak yo tankou yon moun ki otorize.
They were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as someone who has authority and not as the scribes.
23 Lè sa a, yon nonm ki te gen yon move lespri sou li vin antre nan sinagòg la, li pran rele:
Just then a man in their synagogue who had an unclean spirit cried out,
24 -ey Jezi, moun Nazarèt, kisa nou gen avè ou? Ou vin isit la pou detwi nou? Mwen konnen byen pwòp ki moun ou ye. Ou se moun Bondye chwazi a.
saying, “What do we have to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are. You are the Holy One of God!”
25 Jezi pale byen fò ak move lespri ki te sou nonm lan, li di li: -Pe la! Soti sou nonm sa a.
Jesus rebuked the demon and said, “Be quiet and come out of him!”
26 Move lespri a souke nonm lan byen souke, li bay yon gwo rèl, epi li soti, li ale.
The unclean spirit threw him down and went out from him while crying out with a loud voice.
27 Tout moun yo te sitèlman sezi, yonn t'ap mande lòt: -Sa sa ye la a menm! Sa se yon lòt bagay l'ap moutre nou la a. Menm move lespri yo, li pase yo lòd ak otorite, yo obeyi li.
All the people were amazed, so they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching with authority? He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him!”
28 Se tout moun ki t'ap nonmen non l' nan peyi Galile a.
The news about him went out everywhere into the whole region of Galilee.
29 Apre sa, yo soti kite sinagòg la, y' ale ansanm ak Jak ak Jan lakay Simon ak Andre.
After coming out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.
30 Bèlmè Simon an te kouche ak lafyèv. Rive Jezi rive lakay la, yo di l' sa.
Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever, and they told Jesus about her.
31 Lè sa a, li pwoche bò madanm lan, li pran men l', li fè l' leve. Latou, lafyèv la kite l', epi madanm lan resevwa yo.
So he came, took her by the hand, and raised her up; the fever left her, and she started serving them.
32 Aswè, apre solèy fin kouche, yo mennen tout moun malad yo ansanm ak tou sa ki te gen move lespri sou yo bay Jezi.
That evening, after the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed by demons.
33 Tout moun lavil la te sanble devan pòt kay la.
The whole city gathered together at the door.
34 Lè sa a, Jezi te geri anpil moun ki te soufri divès maladi; li te chase anpil move lespri. Men, li pa t' kite move lespri yo pale, paske yo te konnen ki moun li te ye.
He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons, but he did not allow the demons to speak because they knew him.
35 Nan granmaten, byen bonè, li pa t' ankò fè klè, Jezi leve, li soti li kite lavil la, li al yon kote ki pa gen moun. La li t'ap lapriyè.
He got up very early, while it was still dark; he left and went out into a solitary place and there he prayed.
36 Simon ak lòt zanmi l' yo soti, yo t'ap chache Jezi.
Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
37 Lè yo jwenn li, yo di l' konsa: -Tout moun ap chache ou wi.
They found him and they said to him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 Men li reponn yo: -Ann al yon lòt kote, nan lòt bouk yo nan vwazinaj la. Fòk mwen fè yo konnen mesaj la tou. Se pou sa menm mwen vini.
He said, “Let us go elsewhere, out into the surrounding towns, so that I may preach there also. That is why I came out here.”
39 Se konsa li te ale toupatou nan peyi Galile, li t'ap mache bay mesaj la nan sinagòg yo, li t'ap chase move lespri yo.
He went throughout all of Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.
40 Yon nonm ki te gen lalèp vin jwenn Jezi; li tonbe ajenou devan li, li mande l' sekou; li di l' konsa: -Si ou vle, ou kapab geri mwen.
A leper came to him. He was begging him; he knelt down and said to him, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
41 Kè Jezi fè l' mal, li lonje men l', li manyen nonm lan, li di li: -Wi, mwen vle ou geri.
Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying to him, “I am willing. Be clean.”
42 Menm lè a, lalèp la kite l', li geri, li te nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
Immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.
43 Apre sa, Jezi voye l' ale, li pase l' lòd byen sevè.
Jesus strictly warned him and sent him away.
44 Li di l' konsa: -Piga ou pale sa ak pesonn. Men, al fè prèt la wè ki jan ou ye. Apre sa, wa ofri sa Moyiz te bay lòd pou ofri a. Konsa wa bay tout moun prèv ou geri.
He said to him, “Be sure to say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
45 Men, nonm lan pati, li pran mache fè konnen bagay la toupatou. Li sitèlman gaye nouvèl la, Jezi pa t' kapab antre ankò nan okenn lavil pou moun pa t' wè li. Li te pito rete andeyò, kote ki pa gen moun. Men, moun te soti toupatou vin jwenn li.
But he went out and began to spread the news widely, so much that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but he stayed out in remote places. Yet people were still coming to him from everywhere.
