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 shore of the lake; and there was gathered to him a very great multitude, so that he went into a boat, and sat down in it upon the lake; and all the multitude was by the lake on the land.
2 Li t'ap rakonte yo kèk parabòl pou l' te moutre yo anpil bagay. Li di yo konsa:
And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching,
3 -Koute! Yon nonm soti pou li al simen grenn nan jaden li.
Hearken: Behold, a sower went forth to sow.
4 Pandan li t'ap simen grenn yo, kèk grenn tonbe bò chemen an. Zwazo vini, yo manje yo.
And it came to pass, as he sowed some seeds fell by the way-side; and the birds came and devoured them.
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 rocky ground, where they had not much earth; and they sprung up immediately, because they had no depth of earth.
6 Men, lè solèy la chofe, li boule ti plant yo. Yo cheche paske rasen yo pa t' fon.
But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they 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 thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them, and they 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 on good ground, and shooting up and growing yielded fruit; and bore as much as thirty, and sixty, and a hundred fold.
9 Apre sa, Jezi di yo konsa: -Si nou gen zòrèy poun tande, tande.
And he said, He that hath 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 in private, they who were about 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 hath been given the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them, who are without, all things are done in parables; t
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.
hat seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest 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 saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all the parables?
14 Nonm k'ap simen an, se pawòl Bondye a l'ap simen.
The sower soweth 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 they by the wayside, those where the word is sown, and when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was 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 like manner are they that are sown on the rocky places, those, 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 have no root in themselves, but endure only for a time; then, when affliction or persecution ariseth on account of the word, they immediately fall away.
18 Gen lòt moun ankò, yo resevwa grenn yo tankou nan mitan pye pikan: yo tande pawòl la,
And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they who hear 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)
but the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh 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 these are they who are sown on the good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it; and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold.
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 a lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be set on the lamp-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 secret, unless to be made known; nor was any thing hidden, but that it should come to light.
23 Si nou gen zòrèy poun tande, tande.
If any one hath 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, Take heed what ye hear. With what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you, and more will be added 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 he that hath, to him will be given; and he that hath not, from him will be taken away even what he hath.
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, Thus is the kingdom of God, as when a man has cast seed upon the ground,
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 sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs and grows up, he knows not 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.
For the earth brings forth fruit of itself, 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 puts itself forth, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest is 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 shall we liken the kingdom of God? or under what comparison shall we set it forth?
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 is like a grain of mustard, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth;
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, it grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air can lodge under its shade.
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.
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.
But without a parable he did not speak to them; but in private he explained all things to his own disciples.
35 Menm jou sa a, lè solèy fin kouche, Jezi di disip li yo: -Ann janbe lòt bò lanmè a non.
And on the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass 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 multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat; and there were also other boats 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 there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves heat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
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 was in the stern, asleep on the pillow; and they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, carest thou not that we are perishing?
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 arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, 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 ye so fearful? How is it that ye have not 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 feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the waves obey him?
