Mak 12
1 Apre sa, Jezi pran rakonte yo yon parabòl. -Vwala, se yon nonm ki te plante yon jaden rezen. Li fèmen l' ak yon lantouraj, li fouye yon basen pou kraze rezen yo, li bati yon kay pou moun k'ap veye jaden an. Apre sa, li antann li avèk kèk moun ki pou okipe jaden an pou li. Li pati, li al nan vwayaj.
Then He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard—put a hedge around it, dug a wine trough, built a tower—rented it to farmers and went on a journey.
2 Lè sezon rekòt la rive, li voye yon domestik bò kote moun ki t'ap okipe jaden an pou li. Li te voye chache pòsyon pa l' nan rekòt rezen an nan men yo.
At the proper time he sent a slave to the farmers, that he might receive from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 Yo mete men sou domestik la, yo bat li byen bat, epi yo voye l' tounen bay mèt jaden an san yo pa ba l' anyen.
But they took him, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4 Mèt jaden an voye yon lòt domestik bò kote yo ankò. Fwa sa a menm, yo bat li nan tèt ase, epi yo joure l' byen joure.
Again he sent another slave to them, and that one they wounded in the head by stoning, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 Mèt jaden an voye yon twazyèm domestik, yo touye sa a. Li voye anpil lòt ankò: gen sa yo bat, gen sa yo touye.
Again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some.
6 Sèl moun mèt jaden an te rete pou l' te voye, se pitit gason li te renmen anpil la. Li voye l' an dènye bò kote yo. Li t'ap di nan kè l': Omwens y'a gen respè pou gason m' lan.
Finally, still having his one beloved son, he even sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 Men, kiltivatè yo yonn di lòt: Men eritye a. Ann mete tèt nou ansanm. Ann touye l', konsa jaden an va vin pou nou.
But those farmers said to one another: ‘This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and the inheritance will be ours.’
8 Yo mete men sou li, yo touye l', epi yo jete kò a deyò lòt bò jaden an.
So they took him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 Bon! Kisa mèt jaden an gen pou l' fè ankò? La vini, la fè touye tout kiltivatè yo, epi la bay lòt moun jaden rezen an.
“What therefore will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those farmers, and give the vineyard to others.
10 Eske nou pa li pawòl ki ekri a? Mwen sèten nou li l' deja: Wòch moun ki t'ap bati yo te voye jete a, se li menm ki tounen wòch ki kenbe kay la.
Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘The stone that the builders rejected, is the very one that became the cornerstone;
11 Sa se travay Mèt la. Se bèl bagay pou nou wè sa.
this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12 Chèf jwif yo t'ap chache mete men sou li, paske yo te konnen byen se pou yo Jezi te di parabòl sa a. Men, yo te pè mas pèp la. Yo kite l', y' al fè wout yo.
So they started looking for a way to arrest Him, because they knew He had spoken the parable against them, but they were in fear of the crowd. Then they left Him and went away.
13 Yo te voye kèk farizyen ansanm ak kèk nan patizan Ewòd yo bò kot Jezi pou wè si yo te ka pran yon pawòl nan bouch li pou akize li.
Then they sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to Him, in order to trap Him with a question.
14 Yo vin di l' konsa: -Mèt, nou konnen ou se moun ki kare, ou pa pè pesonn, paske ou pa gade sou figi moun. Men, ou moutre chemen Bondye a jan li ye a. Manyè di nou: èske lalwa pèmèt nou peye Seza lajan kontribisyon an? Eske nou dwe peye li? Wi ou non?
Upon arriving they said to Him: “Teacher, we know that you are honest—you do not ‘protect’ anyone, because you do not consider the position of people, but teach the way of God in truth—is it right to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
15 Men Jezi te konnen yo gen lòt lide dèyè tèt yo; li reponn yo: -Pouki n'ap chache pran m' nan pèlen konsa? Pote yon pyès lajan ban mwen pou m' gade yon bagay.
Should we pay, or should we not?” But knowing their hypocrisy, He said to them: “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius to look at.”
16 Yo pote yon pyès lajan ba li. Jezi mande yo: -Pòtre ki moun ak non ki moun ki sou pyès lajan an? Yo reponn li: -Se pòtre Seza ak non Seza.
So they did, and He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar's.”
17 Lè sa a, li di yo: -Bay Seza sa ki pou Seza, bay Bondye sa ki pou Bondye. Pawòl sa a te fè yo pi sezi ankò.
Then Jesus answered them by saying, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they marveled at Him.
18 Sadiseyen yo se yon gwoup jwif ki di moun mouri pa leve. Yo vin bò kot Jezi ak yon keksyon. Yo di l' konsa:
Then some Sadducees came to Him—they say there is no resurrection—and asked Him, saying:
19 -Mèt, Moyiz te ekri lòd sa a ban nou: Yon nonm ki gen frè, si l' mouri kite madanm li san pitit, frè a gen pou l' marye avèk madanm defen an pou li sa fè pitit pou frè l' ki mouri a.
“Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies and leaves behind a wife, but no children, then his brother should take that wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
20 Se konsa, te gen sèt frè. Premye a marye, li mouri san l' pa kite pitit.
Well there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
21 Dezyèm lan marye avèk vèv la. Li mouri tou san l' pa kite pitit. Menm bagay la rive twazyèm lan tou.
So the second one took her, and died; and neither did he leave any offspring. The third likewise.
22 Konsa konsa, tout sèt frè yo marye ak fanm lan epi yo yonn pa kite pitit. Apre yo tout fin mouri, li menm tou fanm lan mouri.
In fact, all seven took her, and left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died.
23 Lè mò yo va gen pou yo leve, madanm kilès nan yo li pral ye la a, paske li te madanm tout sèt frè yo?
In the resurrection, whenever they may rise, whose wife will she be?—because all seven had her as wife.”
24 Jezi reponn yo: -Nou nan lerè wi. M'ap di nou poukisa: Nou pa konprann sa ki ekri a, nou pa konnen pouvwa Bondye.
Then in answer Jesus said to them: “You do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God—is this not the reason that you err?
25 Lè mò yo va gen pou yo leve, fanm ak gason pa nan marye ankò. Tout moun pral viv tankou zanj Bondye nan syèl la.
Whenever people rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in the heavens.
26 Pou keksyon mò yo k'ap leve vivan ankò a, èske nou pa li nan Liv Moyiz la sa Bondye te di l' bò touf bwa a: Mwen se Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak, Bondye Jakòb?
But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
27 Bondye se Bondye moun vivan li ye, li pa Bondye moun mouri. Nou wè nou nan lerè anpil, pa vre?
He is not the God of dead people, but the God of living ones. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
28 Yonn nan dirèktè lalwa yo te tande jan yo t'ap diskite. Li wè Jezi te byen reponn sadiseyen yo. Lè sa a, li pwoche bò kote l', li mande li: -Kilès nan tout kòmandman yo ki pi konsekan an?
Then one of the scribes came on the scene, heard them arguing, realized that He had answered them well, and asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?”
29 Jezi reponn li: -Men kòmandman ki pi konsekan an: Koute, nou menm pèp Izrayèl: Mèt la, Bondye nou, se li ki sèl Mèt la.
Jesus answered him: “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord your (pl) God, the Lord is one;
30 Se pou ou renmen Mèt la, Bondye ou, avèk tout kè ou, avèk tout nanm ou, avèk tout lide ou, avèk tout fòs ou.
and you (sg) shall love the Lord your (sg) God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
31 Men dezyèm kòmandman an: Se pou ou renmen frè parèy ou tankou ou renmen pwòp tèt pa ou. Pa gen lòt kòmandman ki pi konsekan pase sa yo.
And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
32 Lè sa a, dirèktè lalwa a di li: -Se sa menm, Mèt. Sa ou di a se vre. Met nou an se sèl Bondye ki genyen. Pa gen lòt pase li.
So the scribe said to Him: “Well said, teacher; you said truly that He is one, and there is no other except He.
33 Jan ou di a, se pou nou renmen l' ak tout kè nou, tout lespri nou, tout fòs nou, epi se pou nou renmen frè parèy nou tankou nou renmen pwòp tèt pa nou. Sa pi bon lontan pase tout ofrann n'ap boule pou Bondye ansanm ak tout lòt bèt n'ap ofri pou touye pou li.
And to love Him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the soul and with all the strength, and to love the neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34 Jezi wè nonm lan te fè l' yon repons moun ki gen konprann, lè sa a li di li: -Ou menm, ou pa lwen peyi kote Bondye Wa a non. Apre sa, pesonn pa t' gen odas poze l' keksyon ankò.
Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared ask Him any question.
35 Pandan Jezi t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay nan tanp lan, li di yo: -Ki jan dirèktè lalwa yo fè di Kris la se pitit pitit David li ye?
Then, teaching in the temple, Jesus reacted by saying: “How is it that the scribes say that the Messiah is David's son?
36 Poutan, men sa David te di (se Sentespri menm ki te fè l' di l'): Bondye te di Seyè mwen an: Chita la sou bò dwat mwen, jouk tan mwen fè lènmi ou yo tounen yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.
Because David himself said by the Holy Spirit: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”’
37 Si David rele Kris la Seyè, ki jan pou Kris la ta ka pitit pitit David? Yon pakèt moun t'ap koute Jezi avèk plezi.
Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so how can He be his son?” The large crowd listened to Him with pleasure.
38 Nan sa li t'ap moutre moun yo, li di yo konsa: -Pran prekosyon nou avèk dirèktè lalwa sa yo. Yo renmen pwonmennen avèk wòb long yo, yo renmen moun di yo bonjou jouk atè lè yo sou plas piblik.
Then He said to them in His teaching: “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes and to get greetings in the market places,
39 Lè y' al nan sinagòg, yo chita kote pou tout moun wè yo. Nan resepsyon yo chache pi bon plas la.
and the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
40 Se piye y'ap piye malerèz yo, an menm tan y'ap plede fè lapriyè byen long pou parèt pi bon. Kondannasyon yo pral pi rèd.
who devour the houses of widows, while praying long and loud for a show. These will receive a more severe judgment.”
41 Apre sa, Jezi te chita vizaviz ak bwat kote yo mete ofrann nan tanp lan. Li t'ap gade moun yo ap mete lajan ladan li. Plizyè moun rich t'ap mete anpil lajan.
Then Jesus sat down opposite the offering chest and started watching how the people were depositing money into the chest. Many rich people put in large amounts.
42 Yon pòv vèv vin rive tou; li mete de ti kòb ki pa t' menm fè mwatye senk kòb.
A certain poor widow also came and put in two ‘lepta’, which equal a ‘quadrans’.
43 Lè sa a Jezi rele disip li yo, li di yo; -Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Pòv vèv sa a bay plis pase tout moun ki mete ofrann nan bwat la.
So summoning His disciples He said to them: “I tell you assuredly that this poor widow has put more in the chest than all these contributors;
44 Paske, tout moun sa yo mete sa yo pa bezwen; men li menm, nan tout mizè li, li bay tou sa l' te genyen, tout sa l' te gen pou l' viv.
because they all gave out of their excess, but she, out of her lack, put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.”
