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.
And he began to speak to them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and dug a place for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into a far country.
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.
And at the season he sent to the vinedressers a servant, that he might receive from the vinedressers 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.
And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
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.
And again he sent to them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
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.
And 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.
Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last to them, saying, They will reverence 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 vinedressers said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
8 Yo mete men sou li, yo touye l', epi yo jete kò a deyò lòt bò jaden an.
And they took him, and killed him, and cast 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 shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the vinedressers, and will 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.
And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
11 Sa se travay Mèt la. Se bèl bagay pou nou wè sa.
This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous 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.
And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and 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.
And they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
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?
And when they had come, they say to him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute 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.
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
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.
And they brought it. And he saith to them, Whose is this image and superscription? And 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.
And Jesus answering said to them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled 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 come to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they 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.
Master, Moses wrote to us, If a man’s brother shall die, and leave his wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 Se konsa, te gen sèt frè. Premye a marye, li mouri san l' pa kite pitit.
Now there were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21 Dezyèm lan marye avèk vèv la. Li mouri tou san l' pa kite pitit. Menm bagay la rive twazyèm lan tou.
And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and 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.
And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
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 therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her for a 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.
And Jesus answering said to them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
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.
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels who are in heaven.
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?
And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush 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 the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
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?
And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, 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.
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
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 thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy 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 is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 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.
And the scribe said to him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is no other but 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 his neighbour as himself, is more than all 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.
And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that 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?
And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?
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.
For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
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.
David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and how is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
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.
And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who love to go in long clothing, and love greetings in the marketplaces,
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 uppermost 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 widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.
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.
And Jesus sat opposite the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 Yon pòv vèv vin rive tou; li mete de ti kòb ki pa t' menm fè mwatye senk kòb.
And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
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.
And he called his disciples, and saith to them, Verily I say to you, That this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury:
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.
For all they cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all that she had, even all her living.
