Mak 13
1 Antan Jezi t'ap soti nan tanp lan, yonn nan disip li yo di l' konsa: -Mèt, gade. Ala de bèl wòch! Ala yon gwo batisman!
As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings!”
2 Jezi reponn li: -Ou wè gwo batisman sa a: yon lè, p'ap gen de wòch k'ap rete kanpe yonn sou lòt ladan li. Tou sa pral kraze nèt vide atè.
Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down.”
3 Jezi te chita sou mòn Oliv la, vizaviz ak tanp lan. Pyè, Jak ak Andre te pou kont yo avèk li. Yo poze l' keksyon sa a:
As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
4 -Di nou kilè sa va rive non? Ki siy ki va fè nou konnen lè tout bagay sa a yo gen pou rive?
“Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?”
5 Lè sa a Jezi pran di yo: -Atansyon pou pesonn pa twonpe nou.
Jesus, answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
6 Paske, anpil moun va vini sou non mwen, y'a di se yo menm ki Kris la. y'a twonpe anpil moun.
For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and will lead many astray.
7 Lè n'a tande lagè ap fèt toupre nou, ansanm ak nouvèl lagè k'ap fèt byen lwen, nou pa bezwen pè. Fòk bagay sa yo rive. Men, se p'ap ankò lafen an sa.
“When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be troubled. For those must happen, but the end is not yet.
8 Yon pèp va goumen ak yon lòt pèp. Yon peyi va atake yon lòt peyi; va gen tranblemanntè divès kote. Va gen anpil grangou. Tou sa, se va tankou tranche anvan akouchman.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginning of birth pains.
9 Men, nou menm, kenbe kò nou. Y'ap trennen nou devan tribinal, y'ap bat nou nan sinagòg yo, n'ap konparèt devan chèf gouvènman ak devan wa poutèt mwen, pou nou ka sèvi m' temwen devan yo.
“But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them.
10 Anvan sa, fòk yo anonse bon nouvèl la bay tout nasyon yo.
The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.
11 Lè y'a arete nou pou mennen nou nan tribinal, pa kase tèt nou pou nou chache konnen davans sa n'a pral di; men, n'a di pawòl ki va vin nan bouch nou: paske lè sa a, se pa nou menm ki va pale, se Sentespri a ki va mete pawòl yo nan bouch nou.
When they lead you away and deliver you up, don’t be anxious beforehand or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 Frè va denonse frè pou fè touye li. Papa va denonse pitit, pitit va leve kont manman l' ak papa l', la fè touye yo.
“Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
13 Tout moun pral rayi nou poutèt mwen; men, moun ki va kenbe fèm jouk sa kaba, se li ki va sove.
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
14 Nou gen pou nou wè bagay nou pa ta renmen wè a, bagay k'ap bay gwo lapenn lan, chita kote l' pa t' dwe ye. (Se pou tout moun k'ap li sa a chache konprann.) Lè sa a, tout moun ki nan peyi Jide va blije al nan mòn.
“But when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
15 Moun ki va sou tèt kay yo va kouri met deyò san yo p'ap bezwen antre pran zafè yo.
and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.
16 Moun ki nan jaden p'ap bezwen tounen lakay yo pou pran rechanj yo.
Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
17 Lè sa a, se p'ap de lapenn pou fanm ansent ak nouris yo.
But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days!
18 Lapriyè Bondye pou bagay sa yo pa rive nan tan fredi.
Pray that your flight won’t be in the winter.
19 Paske lè sa a, n'a wè yon lafliksyon moun poko janm wè, depi nan konmansman lè Bondye t'ap kreye latè jouk koulye a. p'ap janm gen yon lòt tankou l' ankò.
For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.
20 Si Mèt la pa t' deside wete kèk jou sou jou sa yo, pesonn pa t'ap sove. Men, li wete sou jou sa yo poutèt moun li chwazi pou la ak li yo.
Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.
21 Lè sa a, si yon moun di nou: Gade, men Kris la bò isit, osinon: Gade, men li lòt bò a, pa kwè li.
Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it.
22 Lè sa a, gen fo Kris ak fo pwofèt k'ap parèt; y'a fè mèvèy ak mirak pou twonpe ata moun Bondye chwazi yo, si yo ta kapab.
For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
23 Veye kò nou. Mwen tou di nou tout bagay sa yo davans.
But you watch. “Behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24 Men nan tan sa a, apre jou lafliksyon sa yo, solèy la p'ap klere ankò, lalen lan p'ap bay limyè.
But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,
25 Zetwal yo va sot tonbe nan syèl la, pouvwa yo ki nan syèl la va tranble.
the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
26 Lè sa a, y'a wè m', mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, ap vini sou tèt nwaj yo, avèk anpil pouvwa nan mitan yon bann bèl bagay.
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27 m'a voye zanj mwen yo nan kat kwen latè a pou sanble tout moun Bondye te chwazi yo, depi yon bout tè a jouk nan lòt bout syèl la.
Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.
28 Pran leson sou pye fig frans lan. Kou l' kòmanse boujonnen, kou l' pouse fèy, nou konnen lete sou nou.
“Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near;
29 Menm jan an tou, lè n'a wè bagay sa yo rive, nou mèt konnen Moun Bondye te voye nan lachè a toupre, li la nan papòt la.
even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.
30 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: gen moun k'ap viv koulye a ki p'ap gen tan mouri anvan tout bagay sa yo rive.
Most certainly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
31 Syèl la ak tout tè a va pase, men pawòl mwen yo p'ap janm pase.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
32 Pesonn pa konnen ni ki jou ni ki lè bagay sa yo ap rive, pa menm zanj yo ki nan syèl la, pa menm Pitit la. Sèl Papa a konn sa.
“But of that day or that hour no one knows—not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33 Kenbe kò nou; pa kite dòmi pran nou; paske nou pa konnen ki lè lè a va rive.
Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.
34 Se tankou lè yon nonm pati li al nan vwayaj. Li kite kay li nan men domestik yo pou yo okipe l' pou li. Li bay chak moun travay pa yo pou yo fè; li bay gadyen pòt la lòd pou l' pa dòmi.
“It is like a man traveling to another country, having left his house and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.
35 Se poutèt sa, pa kite dòmi pran nou, paske nou pa konnen ki lè mèt kay la va vini. Se ka aswè, nan mitan lannwit, lè kòk chante, osinon nan maten.
Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming—whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;
36 Si l' rive yon lè nou pa t'ap tann li, piga li jwenn nou ap dòmi.
lest, coming suddenly, he might find you sleeping.
37 Sa m' di nou la a, mwen di l' pou tout moun: Pa kite dòmi pran nou.
What I tell you, I tell all: Watch!”
