Mak 14
1 Nan de jou ankò yo tapral fete fèt Delivrans lan ansanm ak fèt Pen san ledven an. Chèf prèt yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo t'ap chache mwayen pou yo arete Jezi san pesonn pa konnen, pou fè touye li.
It was only two days before the [people] ([celebrated/started to celebrate]) [for one week the] festival [which they called] Passover. During those days they also celebrated the festival of (Unleavened Bread/[eating] bread that had no yeast in it). The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were planning how they could seize Jesus secretly. [They wanted to accuse him in front of the Roman authorities] so that they would execute him.
2 Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Nou pa kapab arete l' pandan jou fèt yo, paske sa ka kreye dezòd nan pèp la.
But they were saying to one another, “We must not [do it] during the celebration, because, [if we do it then], the people will [be very angry with us and] riot!”
3 Jezi te Betani lakay Simon, nonm ki te gen maladi lalèp la. Pandan li te chita bò tab la, yon fanm vin antre. Li t'ap pote yon ti boutèy fèt an albat. Ti boutèy la te plen yon odè bon kalite ki fèt ak yon fèy yo rele n'a ki vann byen chè. Fanm lan kase kou boutèy la, epi li vide tout odè a sou tèt Jezi.
Jesus was at Bethany [town] in the house of Simon, whom [Jesus had healed from] leprosy. While they were eating, a woman came [to him]. [She was carrying] a stone jar that contained expensive [fragrant] perfume called nard. She opened the jar and then she poured the perfume on Jesus’ head.
4 Nan moun ki te la yo, gen ladan yo ki pa t' kontan menm, yonn t'ap di lòt: -Pouki tout gaspiyay odè sa a?
One of the people [who were present] became angry and said to the others, “([It is terrible that she] wasted that perfume!/[Why did she] waste that perfume?) [RHQ]
5 Yo ta kapab vann li twasan (300) goud pou pi ba pri, epi yo ta bay pòv lajan an. Yo t'ap kritike fanm lan byen fò.
It could have been sold {[We] could have sold it} for (a huge amount of money/an amount of money for which a person works for a year), and then [the money] could have been given {[we] could have given [the money]} to poor people!” So he rebuked her.
6 Men Jezi di yo: -Kite l' an repo. Pouki n'ap fè l' tout lapenn sa a? Se yon bèl bagay li fè la a pou mwen.
But Jesus said, “Stop [scolding] her! She has done to me what I [consider to be] very appropriate/delightful. So (you should not bother her!/why do you bother her?) [RHQ]
7 Pòv yo, n'ap toujou genyen yo avèk nou; chak fwa nou vle, nou ka fè byen pou yo. Men, mwen menm, nou p'ap genyen m' tout tan avèk nou.
You will always have poor people among you. So you can help them whenever you want to. But I will not [be here among] you much longer. [So it is good for her to show now that she appreciates me].
8 Fanm lan fè sa l' te kapab. Depi davans li tou benyen kò m' pou lantèman mwen.
[It is appropriate that] she has done what she was able to do. [It is as if she knew that I was going to die soon] and has anointed my body for their burying it.
9 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Toupatou sou latè, kote y'a anonse bon nouvèl la, y'a rakonte sa fanm lan fè la a tou pou yo pa janm bliye li.
I will tell you this: Wherever the good message [about me] is preached {people preach the good message} throughout the world, what she has done will be told {people will tell others what she has done [to me]}, and as a result people will remember her.”
10 Lè sa a, Jida Iskariòt, yonn nan douz disip yo, leve, li al di chèf prèt yo li te pare pou l' te fè yo pran Jezi.
Then Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) went to the chief priests in order to [talk to them about] helping them to seize Jesus. He did that [even though] he was one of the twelve [disciples]
11 Yo te kontan tande sa Jida t'ap di yo, yo pwomèt pou yo ba l' lajan. Se konsa Jida t'ap chache yon bon okazyon pou l' te ba yo Jezi.
When they heard [what he was willing to do for them], they were very happy. They promised that they would give him [a large amount of] money [for doing that. Judas agreed, so they gave him the money]. As a result, he [began] watching for an opportunity (to betray Jesus/to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
12 Premye jou fèt Pen san ledven an, jou yo te konn touye ti mouton pou manje Delivrans lan, disip yo di Jezi konsa: -Ki bò ou ta vle n' al pare Fèt Delivrans lan?
[Two days later], when they killed the lambs [for the] festival at the beginning of the week when [people ate] bread that had no yeast in it, Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration] in order that you can eat it [with us]?”
13 Lè sa a, Jezi rele de nan disip li yo, li di yo: -Ale lavil la; n'a kontre yon moun k'ap pote yon krich dlo: swiv li.
So he [chose] two of his disciples [to prepare everything]. He said to them, “Go into [Jerusalem] city. A man will meet you, who will be carrying a large jar full of water. Follow him.
14 Kote la antre a, antre dèyè li. n'a di mèt kay la: Mèt la voye mande ou kote pyès kay pou l' manje manje Delivrans lan avèk disip li yo.
When he enters [a house], say to the man who owns the house, ‘[Our] teacher wants us to prepare [the meal of] the Passover celebration so that he can eat it with us his disciples. (Please show us the room that he [arranged with you about]./Where is the room that he [arranged with you about]?) [RHQ]’
15 La moutre nou yon gwo chanm, tou pare tou meble, anwo kay la. Se la n'a pare manje Delivrans lan pou nou tout.
He will show you a large room that is on the upper floor [of the house]. It will be furnished and ready [for us to eat a meal in it]. Then prepare the meal there for us.”
16 Disip yo pati, yo rive lavil la; yo jwenn tout bagay jan l' te di yo a. Epi yo pare manje Delivrans lan.
So the [two] disciples left. They went into the city and found [everything] to be just like he had told them. They prepared the [meal for] the Passover [celebration, and then returned to Jesus and the other disciples].
17 Lè solèy fin kouche, Jezi vin rive avèk douz disip yo.
When it was evening, Jesus arrived [at that house] with the twelve [disciples].
18 Antan yo te chita bò tab la ap manje, Jezi di konsa: -Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: yonn nan nou k'ap manje avèk mwen la a pral trayi mwen.
As they were all sitting there [and eating], Jesus said, “Listen carefully to this: One of you will enable my enemies to seize me. Specifically, it is one of you who [will do this in spite of the fact that he] is eating with me [right now]!”
19 Lè sa a, kè disip yo kase; yonn apre lòt yo pran mande li: -Eske se mwen menm?
The disciples became very sad and they said to him one by one, “Surely (it is not I!/I am not the one, am I?) [RHQ]”
20 Li reponn yo: -Se yonn nan nou douz la k'ap tranpe pen ansanm avè m' nan plat la.
Then he said to them, “It is one of [you] twelve [disciples], the one who is dipping [bread] into the [sauce in the] dish along with me.
21 Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a pral mouri, jan sa te ekri sou li a. Men, malè pou moun k'ap trayi l' la. Li ta pi bon pou moun sa a si li pa t' janm fèt.
It is certain that [I], the one who came from heaven, will [die], because that is what has been {what [the prophets] have} written about me. But there will be terrible [punishment] for the man by whom I will be betrayed {who will (betray me/help my enemies to seize me)}! In fact, it would be better for that man if he had never been born!”
22 Antan yo t'ap manje, Jezi pranpen, li di Bondye mèsi, li kase l'; li bay disip li yo, li di yo konsa: -Men, pran. Sa se kò mwen.
While they were eating, he took [a flat loaf of] bread and thanked God for it. Then he broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them and said to them, “This [bread represents] [MET] my body. Take it [and eat it].”
23 Apre sa, li pran yon gode diven tou, li di Bondye mèsi, li pase l' ba yo, yo tout bwè ladan li.
Afterwards, he took a cup [that contained wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he gave it to them, and then, as they all drank from it,
24 Epi Jezi di yo: -Sa se san mwen, san ki siyen kontra Bondye ap fè ak nou an, san ki koule pou anpil moun.
he said to them, “This [wine represents] [MET] my blood, which is about to be shed {which is about to flow from my body} [when my enemies kill me]. With this blood I [will sign] the agreement [that God has made to forgive the sins of] many people.
25 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: mwen p'ap janm bwè diven ankò, jouk jou m'a bwè yon diven nèf nan peyi kote Bondye Wa a.
I want you to know this: I will not drink any more wine in this way until the time when I drink it with a new [meaning] when I begin to rule as a king.”
26 Apre yo fin chante chante fèt la, yo soti, y' ale mòn Oliv.
After they sang a hymn, they went out toward Olive [Tree] Hill.
27 Jezi di disip li yo: -Nou tout, nou pral kouri kite m' pou kont mwen; paske men sak te ekri: M'ap frape gadò mouton yo, epi tout mouton yo pral gaye nan bwa.
[While they were on their way], Jesus said to them, “It has been {[The prophets] have} written [in the Scriptures that God said about me], ‘I will kill the shepherd and his sheep will scatter.’ [Those words will come true. When they are about to capture me], all of you will leave me and run away.
28 Men apre, lè m'a leve soti vivan nan lanmò, mwen pral tann nou nan peyi Galile.
But after I have been made {[God] has made me} alive again, I will go ahead of you to Galilee [district and meet you there].”
29 Pyè di li: -Menm si tout moun ta kouri kite ou, mwen menm mwen p'ap janm fè sa.
Then Peter said to him, “Perhaps all the [other disciples] will leave you, but not I! I will not [leave you]!”
30 Jezi reponn li: -Sa m'ap di ou la a, se vre wi: Jòdi a menm, pandan lannwit sa a, anvan kòk chante de fwa, wa gen tan di twa fwa ou pa janm konnen mwen.
Then Jesus said to him, “The truth is that this very night, before the rooster crows a second time, you yourself will deny three times [that you know] me!”
31 Men, Pyè te kenbe la, li t'ap di: -Menm si m' ta dwe mouri avè ou, mwen p'ap janm di sa. Tout lòt disip yo t'ap di menm bagay la tou.
But Peter replied strongly, “Even if they kill me [as I defend] you, I will never deny [that I know] you!” And all [the other disciples] said the same thing.
32 Apre sa, yo rive yon kote yo rele Jetsemane. Jezi di disip li yo: -Chita la, mwen pral lapriyè pi devan.
[On the way], Jesus and the disciples came to the place that [people] call Gethsemane. Then he said to [some/eight of] his disciples, “Stay here while I pray!”
33 Li pran Pyè, Jak ak Jan avè li. Lamenm, li santi yon frison nan rèl do l' ak yon kè sere ki pran li.
Then he took Peter, James, and John with him. He became extremely distressed, and he said to them,
34 Li di yo: -Mwen gen lapenn anpil. Mwen santi se mouri mwen vle mouri. Rete la a, pa kite dòmi pran nou.
“I [SYN] am very sorrowful. [It is as if] I were about to die. [You men] remain here and stay awake!”
35 Li ale yon ti kras pi lwen, li lage kò l' fas atè, li lapriyè; li mande si se te posib pou l' pa ta bezwen soufri tout soufri sa a.
He went a bit further and threw himself on the ground. Then he prayed that if it were possible, he would not [have to suffer] [MTY].
36 Li t'ap di: -O! Papa mwen, nanpwen anyen ou pa kapab fè. Tanpri souple, wete gode soufrans sa a devan je mwen. Men, fè sa ou menm ou vle a. Pa fè sa mwen menm mwen ta vle a.
He said, “O my Father, [because] you are able to do everything, rescue me so that I do not have to suffer [now] [MTY]! But do not [do] what I want. Instead, [do] what you want!”
37 Li tounen bò kot disip li yo, li jwenn yo tou twa ap dòmi. Li di Pyè konsa: -Simon! W'ap dòmi? Ou pa t' kapab rete je klè menm yon ti moman?
Then he returned and found his [disciples] sleeping. He [woke them up and] said, “Simon! ([I am disappointed that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just a short time!/[Why is it that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just one hour?) [RHQ]”
38 Pa dòmi, tande! Lapriyè fò pou nou pa tonbe anba tantasyon. Lespri nou byen dispoze, men se kò nou ki fèb.
[And he said to them], “You want [to do what I say], but you are not strong enough [MTY] [to actually do it]. So keep awake and pray in order that you can resist when [something like this] tempts you!”
39 Li kite yo ankò, li al fè menm lapriyè a.
Then he went away again and prayed again what he prayed before.
40 Apre sa, li retounen. Li jwenn yo ap dòmi ankò paske yo pa t' kapab kenbe je yo louvri. Yo pa t' konn sa pou yo te reponn li.
When he returned, he found that they were sleeping again because they were [so] sleepy that they could not keep their eyes open. [Because they were ashamed], they did not know what to say to him [when he awakened them].
41 Lè l' tounen twazyèm fwa a, li di yo: -N'ap dòmi toujou? N'ap poze kò nou toujou? Sa ase koulye a. Lè a rive; men yo pral lage Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a nan men mechan yo.
[Then he went and prayed again]. He returned a third time; [and he found them sleeping again]. He [woke] all of [them and] said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] sleeping again!/[Why are you] sleeping again?) [RHQ] [You have slept] enough. The time [for me to suffer] is about to begin. Look! Someone is about to enable sinful men to seize me, the one who came from heaven.
42 Leve non. Ann ale. Men moun k'ap trayi m' lan ap vini.
[So] get up! Let’s go [toward him] Look! Here comes the one who is enabling them to seize me!”
43 Jezi t'ap pale toujou lè Jida, yonn nan douz disip yo, vin rive. Li te gen yon bann moun ki te gen nepe ak baton nan men yo avèk li: se chèf prèt yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo ki te voye yo avèk li.
While he was still speaking, Judas [arrived]. [Even though he was] one of [Jesus’] twelve [disciples], he came [to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him]. A crowd who carried swords and clubs was with him. The [leaders of] the Jewish Council had sent them.
44 Jida, nonm ki t'ap trayi Jezi a, te gen dizon ak yo pou l' ba yo yon siyal. Li te di yo: -Moun n'a wè m' bo a se li menm n'ap chache a. Mete men sou li, mennen li ale, pa kite l' chape.
[Judas], who was (betraying Jesus/helping Jesus’ enemies to seize him), had [previously] told this crowd, “The man whom I kiss is the one [whom you want. When I kiss him], seize him and lead him away [while you guard him] carefully.”
45 Rive Jida rive, li pwoche bò kot Jezi, li di li: -Mèt! Epi li bo li.
So, when Judas arrived, he immediately went to Jesus and said, “My teacher!” Then he kissed Jesus [on his neck/cheek].
46 Menm lè a, moun yo mete men sou Jezi, yo arete li.
Then [the crowd] seized Jesus.
47 Yonn nan disip yo rale nepe l', li frape domestik granprèt la; li koupe yon zòrèy li.
But one of the [disciples] who was standing nearby drew his short sword. He struck the servant of the high priest with it [to kill him, but he only] cut off his ear.
48 Jezi pran lapawòl, li di yo: -Nou vin dèyè m' ak nepe, ak baton, tankou si m' te yon ansasen.
Jesus said to them, “([It is ridiculous that] you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit!/Have you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit [RHQ]?) Day after day I was with you in the Temple [courtyard] teaching [the people] Why did you not seize me then? [But this is happening] in order that [what the prophets have written in] the Scriptures [about me] may be fulfilled {may happen}.”
49 Men, toulèjou mwen te la nan mitan nou, mwen t'ap pale nan tanp lan; lè sa a nou pa t' janm arete mwen. Men, tou sa pase konsa pou sa ki ekri a ka rive vre.
50 Lè sa a tout disip yo kite l', yo pran kouri.
All [the disciples at once] left him and ran away.
51 Te gen yon jenn gason ki t'ap swiv Jezi; li te gen yon dra ase sou li. Yo mete men sou msye.
At that time, (a young man/I) was following Jesus. He/[I was] wearing only a linen cloth around his/my body. The crowd seized him/me.
52 Men, li lage dra a, li chape nan men yo toutouni.
But, [as he/I pulled away from them], he/I left behind the linen cloth [in their hands], and then he/I ran away naked.
53 Yo mennen Jezi kay granprèt la. Se la tout chèf prèt yo, chèf fanmi yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo te reyini.
The men [who had seized] Jesus led him away to [the house where] the supreme priest [lived]. All of the Jewish Council were gathering [there].
54 Pyè t'ap swiv Jezi yon ti jan lwen lwen. Li antre jouk nan fon lakou kay granprèt la. Li te chita avèk gad yo bò dife a, li t'ap chofe kò li.
Peter followed Jesus at a distance. He went into the courtyard [of the house] where the supreme priest [lived], and sat there with the men who guarded [the house of the supreme priest]. He was warming himself beside a fire.
55 Chèf prèt yo ak tout manm Gran Konsèy jwif yo t'ap chache yon manti pou yo te fè sou Jezi pou yo te kondannen l' amò, men yo pa t' kapab jwenn anyen menm.
The chief priests and all the rest of the Jewish council [had already] tried to find people who would tell lies about Jesus [in order that they could convince the Roman authorities] to execute him. But they did not succeed,
56 Anpil moun te vin fè manti sou li. Men, pawòl yo pa t' dakò.
because, although many people spoke lies about him, they contradicted each other.
57 Lè sa a, kèk moun leve kanpe, yo fè manti sa a sou li:
[Finally], some stood up and accused him falsely by saying,
58 -Nou te tande l' di: m'a kraze tanp moun te fè a, epi nan twa jou m'a bati yon lòt tanp moun pa ka fè.
“We heard him when he said, ‘I will destroy this Temple that was built by men, and then within three days I will build another temple (without help from anyone else/that human hands will not build).’”
59 Menm sou pwen sa a yo pa t' dakò.
But, what [some of] these men said also did not agree with [what others of them said].
60 Lè sa a, granprèt la leve nan mitan asanble a, li poze Jezi keksyon, li di l' konsa: -Ou pa reponn anyen? Kisa mesye yo ap di sou ou konsa?
Then the supreme priest [himself] stood up in front of them and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to reply? What [do you say about] all the things that they are saying in order to accuse you?”
61 Jezi pa louvri bouch li, li pa reponn anyen. Granprèt la keksyonnen li ankò, li mande l': -Eske se ou ki Kris la, Pitit Bondye ki merite lwanj la?
But Jesus was silent and did not reply [DOU]. Then the supreme priest [tried again]. He asked him, “Are you the Messiah? [Do you say that you are] (the Son of God/the man who is also God)?”
62 Jezi reponn li: -Wi, se mwen menm. Nou gen pou nou wè m', mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, chita sou bò dwat Bondye ki gen pouvwa a, n'a wè m' tou ap vini anwo nwaj yo nan syèl la.
Jesus said, “I am. Furthermore, you will see me, the one who came from heaven, [ruling] beside God, who is completely powerful. [You will also see me] coming down through the clouds in the sky!”
63 Lè sa a, granprèt la chire rad ki te sou li a, li di: -Sa nou bezwen temwen ankò fè?
[In response to Jesus’ words], the supreme priest tore his outer garment. [That was their custom to show that he was shocked that Jesus had said that he was equal to God]. Then he said, “We certainly do not [RHQ] need any [more] people who will testify [against this man],
64 Nou sot tande jan l' pale mal sou Bondye. Sa nou di nan sa? Yo tout deklare Jezi koupab, yo di li merite lanmò.
[because] you have heard what he said against God! [He claimed to be equal with God] Therefore, what have you decided?” They all said that Jesus was guilty and deserved (to be executed/that they should kill him).
65 Kèk ladan yo tonbe krache sou li, yo bouche je l', yo pran ba l' koutpwen. Lèfini yo di li: -Si ou konnen di nou ki moun k'ap fè ou sa? Menm gad yo pran bay Jezi souflèt.
Then some of them began spitting on Jesus. They put a blindfold on him, and then they began striking him and saying to him, “[If you are] a prophet, tell us [who hit you]!” And those who were guarding Jesus struck him with their hands.
66 Antan Pyè te anba nan lakou a, yonn nan sèvant granprèt la vin rive.
While Peter was outside in the courtyard [of the supreme priest’s house], one of the girls who worked for the supreme priest came [near him].
67 Li wè Pyè ap chofe, li gade l' byen. Li di l' konsa: -Ou menm tou, ou te avèk Jezi, moun Nazarèt la?
When she saw Peter warming himself [beside the fire], she looked at him [closely]. Then she said, “You also were with Jesus, that man from Nazareth [town]!”
68 Pyè reponn: -Mwen pa konnen. Mwen pa konprann sa ou vle di la a. Epi Pyè soti pou li al nan pyès devan kay la. Menm lè a, yon kòk chante.
But he denied it by saying, “I do not know or understand [DOU] what you are talking about!” Then he went away [from there] to the gate [of the courtyard].
69 Menm sèvant lan wè l' ankò. Li pran di moun ki te la yo: -Nonm sa a fè pati moun sa yo wi.
[The] servant girl saw him there and said to the people who were standing nearby, “This man is one of [those who have been with that man they arrested].”
70 Men Pyè demanti l' ankò. Yon kadè apre, moun ki te la yo di Pyè ankò: -Se vre, monchè. Ou fè pati moun sa yo, ou se moun Galile.
But he denied it again. After a little while, one of those who were standing there said to Peter again, “[The way you speak shows that] you also are from Galilee [district]. So it is certain that you are one of those [who accompanied Jesus!]”
71 Lè sa a, Pyè kòmanse di: -Mwen mande Bondye nenpòt bagay rive m' si m' manti: mwen pa konnen nonm n'ap pale la a.
But he began to exclaim, “I do not know the man that you are talking about! Because God knows that I am speaking truthfully, may he punish me [if I am lying]!”
72 Menm lè a, kòk la chante yon dezyèm fwa. Lè sa a Pyè vin chonje pawòl Jezi te di l' la: anvan kòk chante de fwa, w'a gen tan di twa fwa ou pa janm konnen mwen. Epi li tonbe kriye.
Immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him [before], “Before the rooster crows a second time, you will deny three times [that you know me.” When he realized that he had denied it three times], he started crying.
