Mak 4
1 Jezi te rekòmanse ap bay mesaj la bò lanmè Galile a ankò. Foul moun ki te sanble bò kote l' la te sitèlman anpil, li te blije moute chita nan yon kannòt ki te sou lanmè a. Tout foul moun yo menm te rete atè sou rivaj la, toupre dlo a.
And again he began to teach by the seaside. And a large crowd was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. And the whole crowd was on the land by the sea.
2 Li t'ap rakonte yo kèk parabòl pou l' te moutre yo anpil bagay. Li di yo konsa:
And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 -Koute! Yon nonm soti pou li al simen grenn nan jaden li.
"Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.
4 Pandan li t'ap simen grenn yo, kèk grenn tonbe bò chemen an. Zwazo vini, yo manje yo.
And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Yon pati tonbe nan mitan wòch, kote ki pa t' gen anpil tè. Grenn sa yo leve byen vit, paske tè a pa t' fon.
And others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Men, lè solèy la chofe, li boule ti plant yo. Yo cheche paske rasen yo pa t' fon.
And when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Yon lòt pati tonbe nan mitan pye pikan. Pikan yo grandi, yo toufe bon ti plant yo, kifè yo pa t' ka donnen.
And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Men, yon lòt pati ankò tonbe nan bon tè. Plant yo leve, yo grandi, yo donnen. Gen ladan yo ki bay trant grenn, lòt bay swasant, lòt ankò bay san (100).
And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth thirty times, and sixty times, and one hundred times."
9 Apre sa, Jezi di yo konsa: -Si nou gen zòrèy poun tande, tande.
And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
10 Apre Jezi te fin kite gwo foul moun yo dèyè, moun ki te toupre l' yo ansanm ak douz disip li yo di li: -Esplike nou parabòl sa a non.
And when he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
11 Li di yo: -Nou menm, nou resevwa sekrè Peyi kote Bondye Wa a; men moun ki deyò yo, yo tande tout bagay an parabòl.
And he said to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
12 Konsa Yo mèt gade byen gade, men yo p'ap wè. Yo mèt tande byen tande, men yo p'ap konprann, pou yo pa tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pou Bondye padonnen peche yo.
that 'seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn and be forgiven.'"
13 Apre sa, Jezi di yo: -Nou pa konprann parabòl sa a? Ki jan n'a fè pou nou konprann tout lòt parabòl yo? Koute!
And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
14 Nonm k'ap simen an, se pawòl Bondye a l'ap simen.
The farmer sows the word.
15 Gen moun, yo sanble ak tè bò chemen kote pawòl la tonbe a. Kou yo tande l', Satan vini, li rache pawòl ki te simen nan kè yo a.
And these are the ones by the road where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
16 Konsa tou, gen lòt ki resevwa grenn yo tankou tè ki gen anpil wòch la. Lè yo fèk tande pawòl la, yo resevwa l' ak kè kontan.
And these in a similar way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
17 Men, yo pa kite l' pouse rasen nan kè yo. Yo pa kenbe l' pou lontan. Lè yo tonbe anba tèt chaje ak pèsekisyon akòz pawòl Bondye a, lamenm yo jwenn okazyon pou yo tonbe nan peche.
And they have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. Then, when oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 Gen lòt moun ankò, yo resevwa grenn yo tankou nan mitan pye pikan: yo tande pawòl la,
And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
19 men, traka lavi, anvi gen lajan ak tout lòt anvi yo antre nan kè yo, toufe pawòl la. Kifè yo pa bay anyen menm. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Pou fini, gen moun ki tankou bon tè a; yo tande pawòl la, yo resevwa l' epi yo donnen. Gen ladan yo ki bay trant pou yonn, lòt bay swasant pou yonn, lòt ankò bay san (100) pou yonn.
And those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."
21 Apre sa, li di yo ankò: -Yo pa limen yon lanp pou yo mete l' anba yon mamit osinon anba yon kabann, pa vre? Eske se pa sou yon etajè pou yo mete li?
And he said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not put on a stand?
22 Nanpwen anyen ki kache ki p'ap devwale yon jou. Konsa tou, nanpwen sekrè ki p'ap parèt aklè yon lè.
For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.
23 Si nou gen zòrèy poun tande, tande.
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 Li di yo toujou: -Fè atansyon sa n'ap tande la a. Mezi nou sèvi pou mezire lòt moun, se li menm Bondye va pran pou mezire nou tou, ak tout degi l' sou li.
And he said to them, "Consider carefully what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you.
25 Paske, moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò. Men moun ki pa gen anyen an, y'a wete nan men l' ata ti sa l' te genyen an.
For whoever has, more will be given, and he who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."
26 Li di yo ankò: -Men ki jan sa ye nan Peyi kote Bondye Wa a. Se tankou yon nonm ki simen grenn nan jaden li.
And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
27 Apre sa, lannwit li dòmi, lajounen li leve fè zafè li. San l' pa konnen ki jan pa ki jan, grenn yo pouse, yo grandi.
and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
28 Tou sa, paske se tè a menm ki fè plant yo grandi pou yo donnen. Pou kòmanse yo pouse fèy, answit yo pouse flèch, apre sa grenn plen flèch la.
The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Lè grenn yo mi se lè sa a nonm lan mete manchèt ladan l', paske sezon rekòt la rive.
But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
30 Li di yo ankò: -Kisa m' ta di Peyi kote Bondye Wa a sanble ankò? Ki parabòl mwen ta ban nou pou fè nou konprann sa li ye?
And he said, "To what will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
31 Enben, li menm jan ak yon ti grenn moutad. Lè ou simen l', se yon ti grenn tou piti. Se li ki pi piti nan tout grenn ki sou latè.
It's like a mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the soil, though it is less than all the seeds that are upon the soil,
32 Men, lè ou fin simen l', li pran grandi: li depase tout plant menm kalite avè l', li pouse gwo branch. Konsa, zwazo nan syèl la ka fè nich nan lonbraj yo.
And when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."
33 Se avèk anpil parabòl konsa li t'ap ba yo mesaj li a. Li te fè l' yon jan pou yo tout te ka konprann li.
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 Li pa t' louvri bouch li pou l' pa t' rakonte yo yon parabòl. Men, lè l' te pou kont li avèk disip li yo, li te esplike yo tout bagay.
And he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Menm jou sa a, lè solèy fin kouche, Jezi di disip li yo: -Ann janbe lòt bò lanmè a non.
And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."
36 Se konsa disip yo te kite foul moun yo dèyè, yo pati ansanm ak Jezi nan kannòt kote li te chita a. Te gen lòt kannòt tou ki te ale avèk yo.
And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
37 Yon gwo van vin leve, lanm yo kòmanse antre nan kannòt la. Yon sèl kou a, kannòt la t'ap fin plen dlo.
And a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
38 Jezi menm, lè sa a, te nan dèyè kannòt la. Li t'ap dòmi, tèt li apiye sou yon ti zòrye. Disip li yo souke l', yo di l' konsa: -Mèt, mèt, se mouri n'ap mouri wi! Sa pa di ou anyen?
And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are dying?"
39 Jezi leve, li pale byen fò ak van an, li di: -Pe la. Li di dlo a: -Rete trankil. Latou, van an tonbe epi vin gen yon gran kalmi.
And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace. Be still." And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Apre sa, li di yo: -Men, poukisa nou pè konsa? Nou poko gen konfyans toujou?
And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
41 Men disip yo te pè anpil anpil, yonn t'ap di lòt konsa: -Ki moun li ye menm, pou jouk van ak dlo lanmè a obeyi li?
And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
