Mak 8
1 Menm epòk sa a, yon gwo foul moun te sanble ankò. Yo pa t' gen anyen pou yo manje. Jezi rele disip li yo, li di yo konsa:
In those days when a large crowd had again assembled and had nothing to eat, Jesus called together his disciples and said to them.
2 -Kè m' fè m' mal pou moun sa yo. Sa fè twa jou depi yo la avè m', yo fin manje tou sa yo te pote.
"My heart aches for the crowd, because they have remained with me three days now, and they have nothing to eat;
3 Si m' voye yo al lakay yo konsa san manje, y'a tonbe feblès nan chemen paske gen ladan yo ki soti byen lwen.
and if I send them away fasting to their homes, they will faint on the way. Moreover, some of them are from a distance."
4 Disip li yo reponn li: -Nan dezè sa a, ki bò poun jwenn pen pou plen vant tout moun sa yo?
"Where will it be possible," answered his disciples, "for one to fill these men with bread in a lonely place like this?"
5 Jezi mande yo: -Konbe pen nou gen la a? Yo reponn: -Nou gen sèt pen.
He asked them, "How many loaves have you?" "Seven," they said.
6 Lè sa a, li fè foul moun yo chita atè; li pran sèt pen yo; li di Bondye mèsi, li kase yo an moso, li renmèt yo bay disip li yo pou yo mache bay tout moun. Disip yo mache bay tout moun pen.
So he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground; and when he had taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, broke them, and gave to his disciples to distribute to the crowd.
7 Te gen kèk ti pwason la tou. Jezi di Bondye mèsi pou yo tou, li mande disip li yo mache bay tout foul moun yo.
They had also a few small fish; after blessing these he told his disciples to distribute them also.
8 Tout moun te manje vant plen. Yo plen sèt panyen pote ale avèk moso ki te rete.
They ate and were filled and they took up of broken pieces that were left, seven hampers.
9 Te gen katmil (4.000) moun konsa antou. Apre sa, Jezi voye yo ale.
They that had eaten were about four thousand.
10 Touswit apre sa, li moute nan kannòt la avèk disip li yo, li ale nan yon peyi yo rele Dalmanouta.
Then he sent them away, got at once into the boat with his disciples. and came into the district of Dalmanutha.
11 Farizyen yo vin rive. Yo tanmen diskite avèk Jezi: yo te vle pran li nan pèlen. Yo mande l' pou l' fè yon mirak ki pou moutre se Bondye ki ba li tout pouvwa sa a.
And the Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, by way of testing him.
12 Jezi bay yon gwo soupi nan kè l', li di yo konsa: -Poukisa moun alèkile yo renmen mande mirak konsa? Se vre wi sa m'ap di nou la a: yo p'ap jwenn okenn mirak.
At this Jesus sighed deeply in his spirit, and said. "Why does the present generation seek a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign shall be given this generation."
13 Apre sa, li vire do l' ba yo, li tounen nan kannòt la; li pati pou lòt bò lanmè a.
Then he left them, and getting into the boat again, went away to the other side,
14 Men, disip yo te bliye pran lòt pen: yo te gen yon sèl grenn pen avè yo nan kannòt la.
Now they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.
15 Jezi ba yo lòd sa a: -Fè atansyon. Pran prekosyon nou avèk ledven farizyen yo ansanm avèk ledven Ewòd la.
So he gave them this warning. "Look out! Be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod."
16 Disip yo pran pale pou kont yo, yonn t'ap di lòt: -Se paske nou pa gen pen kifè l' di nou sa.
And they began arguing with one another because they had no bread, He noted this and said to them.
17 Jezi vin konnen sa yo t'ap di konsa. Li mande yo: -Poukisa n'ap di: se paske nou pa gen pen? Se konnen nou pa konnen? Nou poko ka konprann toujou? Se bouche lespri nou bouche konsa?
"Why are you arguing together because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive and understand?
18 Gen lè nou pa wè nan je nou? Nou pa tande nan zòrèy nou? Se bliye nou gen tan bliye?
Are your minds so slow to comprehend? You have eyes, do you not see? You have ears, do you not hear?
19 Lè m' te separe senk pen bay senkmil (5,000) moun yo, konbe panyen plen moso nou te pote ale? Yo reponn li: -Douz panyen.
Do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets of broken pieces did you take up?" "Twelve," they said.
20 Jezi mande yo anko: -Lè m' te separe sèt pen bay katmil (4.000) moun yo, konbe panyen plen moso nou te pote ale? Yo reponn li: -Sèt panyen.
"And when the seven for the four thousand, how many hampers full of fragments did you pick up?"
21 Lè sa a li di yo: -Nou pa konprann toujou?
"Do you not yet understand?" he said.
22 Apre sa, y' ale Betsayda. Yo mennen yon nonm avèg bay Jezi. Yo mande li pou l' te manyen li.
Then they came to Bethsaida, where some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him.
23 Jezi pran men avèg la, li mennen l' soti nan bouk la. Li pran ti gout krache, li mete nan je avèg la. Apre sa, li mete men l' sou tèt avèg la: Li mande li: -Eske ou wè kichòy?
Taking the blind man by the hand, he led him outside the village; and, after spitting on his eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked, "Can you make out anything?"
24 Avèg la louvri je l', li di: -Mwen wè moun k'ap mache; yo sanble pyebwa.
The man looked up and said, "I can make out the people, for as they move about, I see them like trees."
25 Jezi remete men l' ankò nan je l' yo. Lè sa a, avèg la wè klè nèt. Li te geri, li te wè tout bagay klè.
Then Jesus again put his hands on the man’s eyes; and the man, staring straight ahead, recovered his sight and continued to see everything perfectly.
26 Jezi voye l' al lakay li, li di l' konsa: -Pa antre nan bouk la.
Then Jesus sent him home, saying, "Do not even go into the village."
27 Jezi pati apre sa avèk disip li yo; li ale nan tout bouk ki te nan rejyon Sezare Filip la. Antan yo t'ap mache, li poze yo keksyon sa a: -Ki moun yo di mwen ye en?
From there Jesus and his disciples went to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and on the way he began to question his disciples saying, "Who do people say I am?"
28 Yo reponn li: -Gen moun ki di se Jan Batis ou ye. Gen lòt ki di ou se Eli; gen lòt ankò ki di ou se yonn nan pwofèt yo.
And they told him. "Some say Johnthe Baptist, others, Elijah, and others that you are one of the prophets."
29 Li mande yo ankò: -Bon, nou menm, ki moun nou di mwen ye? Pyè reponn li: -Ou se Kris la.
And he continued questioning them, "But you yourselves, Who do you say I am?" Peter in reply said to him, "You are Christ."
30 Lè sa a, Jezi ba yo lòd byen sevè pou yo pa di pèsonn sa.
Then he strictly charged them not to say this about him to any one;
31 Apre sa, li kòmanse di disip li yo yon bann bagay. Li di yo konsa: -Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen gen pou m' soufri anpil. Chèf fanmi yo, chèf prèt yo, dirèktè lalwa yo, yo yonn p'ap vle wè mwen. Y'ap fè touye m'. Men sou twa jou, mwen gen pou m' leve soti vivan pami mò yo.
and he began to explain to them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests, and the Scribes, and be put to death, and after two days rise again.
32 Li t'ap pale konsa aklè ak yo. Pyè rele l' sou kote, li di li: -Pa pale konsa non.
This he told them quite openly. Then Peter took him and began to rebuke him.
33 Men Jezi vire tèt li, li gade disip li yo. Li pale sevè ak Pyè, li di li konsa: -Wete kò ou sou mwen, Satan! Paske, lide ou pa sou sa Bondye vle, men sou sa lèzòm ta vle.
But he turned round, and looked upon his disciples, and rebuked Peter. "Get thee behind me, Satan," he said, "for your thoughts are not God’s thoughts, but man’s."
34 Lè sa a Jezi rele foul moun yo ansanm avèk disip li yo, li di yo konsa: -Si yon moun vle mache dèyè m', se pou l' bliye tèt li, se pou l' chaje kwa l' sou zepòl li epi swiv mwen.
Then summoning the crowd to him, with his disciples. he said. "If any man wishes to follow me, let him renounce self, take up his cross, and so follow me.
35 Paske, moun ki ta vle sove lavi l' va pèdi li. Men, moun ki va pèdi lavi l' poutèt mwen ak bon nouvèl la, li va sove li.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever, for my sake and the gospel’s, loses his life will save it.
36 Kisa sa ta sèvi yon moun pou li ta genyen lemonn antye si l' pèdi lavi li?
For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own life?
37 Ou ankò, kisa yon nonm kapab bay pou l' gen lavi?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?
38 Si yon moun wont di se moun mwen li ye, si li wont pale pawòl mwen nan mitan bann moun alèkile yo ki vire do bay Bondye pou viv nan peche, enben, mwen menm tou, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, lè m'a tounen avèk zanj Bondye yo nan tout bèl pouvwa Papa m' lan, m'a wont pran li pou moun pa m' tou.
Whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this unfaithful and wicked generation, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
