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:
About that time there was again an immense crowd, and they found themselves with nothing to eat. So He called His disciples to Him.
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 yearns over the people," He said; "for this is now the third day they have remained with me, 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.
If I were to send them home hungry, they would faint on the way, some of them having come a great distance."
4 Disip li yo reponn li: -Nan dezè sa a, ki bò poun jwenn pen pou plen vant tout moun sa yo?
"Where can we possibly get bread here in this remote place to satisfy such a crowd?" answered His disciples.
5 Jezi mande yo: -Konbe pen nou gen la a? Yo reponn: -Nou gen sèt pen.
"How many loaves have you?" He asked. "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 passed the word to the people to sit down on the ground. Then taking the seven loaves He blessed them, and broke them into portions and proceeded to give them to His disciples for them to distribute, and they distributed them to the people.
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. He blessed them, and He told His disciples to distribute these also.
8 Tout moun te manje vant plen. Yo plen sèt panyen pote ale avèk moso ki te rete.
So the people ate an abundant meal; and what remained over they picked up and carried away--seven hampers of broken pieces.
9 Te gen katmil (4.000) moun konsa antou. Apre sa, Jezi voye yo ale.
The number fed were about 4,000. Then He sent them away,
10 Touswit apre sa, li moute nan kannòt la avèk disip li yo, li ale nan yon peyi yo rele Dalmanouta.
and at once going on board with His disciples He 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.
The Pharisees followed Him and began to dispute with Him, asking Him for a sign in the sky, to make trial of 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.
Heaving a deep and troubled sigh, He said, "Why do the men of to-day ask for a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign will be given to the men of to-day."
13 Apre sa, li vire do l' ba yo, li tounen nan kannòt la; li pati pou lòt bò lanmè a.
So He left them, went on board again, and came 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, nor had they more than a single loaf with them in the boat;
15 Jezi ba yo lòd sa a: -Fè atansyon. Pran prekosyon nou avèk ledven farizyen yo ansanm avèk ledven Ewòd la.
and when He admonished them, "See to it, be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast 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.
they explained His words to one another by saying, "We have no bread!"
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?
He perceived what they were saying, and He said to them, "What is this discussion of yours about having no bread? Do you not yet see and understand? Are your minds so dull of comprehension?
18 Gen lè nou pa wè nan je nou? Nou pa tande nan zòrèy nou? Se bliye nou gen tan bliye?
You have eyes! can you not see? You have ears! can you not hear? and have you no memory?
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.
When I broke up the five loaves for the 5,000 men, how many baskets did you carry away full of broken portions?" "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 4,000, how many hampers full of portions did you take away?" "Seven," they answered.
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.
And they came to Bethsaida. And a blind man was brought to Jesus and they entreated 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?
So He took the blind man by the arm and brought him out of the village, and spitting into his eyes He put His hands on him and asked him, "Can you see anything?"
24 Avèg la louvri je l', li di: -Mwen wè moun k'ap mache; yo sanble pyebwa.
He looked up and said, "I can see the people: I see them like trees--only walking."
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 for the second time He put His hands on the man's eyes, and the man, looking steadily, recovered his sight and saw everything distinctly.
26 Jezi voye l' al lakay li, li di l' konsa: -Pa antre nan bouk la.
So He sent him home, and added, "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 that place Jesus and His disciples went to the villages belonging to Caesarea Philippi. On the way He began to ask His disciples, "Who do people say that 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.
"John the Baptist," they replied, "but others say Elijah, and others, that it is 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.
Then He asked them pointedly, "But you yourselves, who do you say that I am?" "You are the Christ," answered Peter.
30 Lè sa a, Jezi ba yo lòd byen sevè pou yo pa di pèsonn sa.
And He strictly forbad them to tell 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 now for the first time He told them, "The Son of Man must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and after two days rise to life."
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 plainly; whereupon Peter took Him and began to remonstrate with 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 turning round and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Adversary," He said, "for your thoughts are not God's thoughts, but men'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 calling to Him the crowd and also His disciples, He said to them, "If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross, and so be my follower.
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 is bent on securing his life will lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, will secure it.
36 Kisa sa ta sèvi yon moun pou li ta genyen lemonn antye si l' pèdi lavi li?
Why, what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
37 Ou ankò, kisa yon nonm kapab bay pou l' gen lavi?
For what could a man give to buy back 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.
Every one, however, who has been ashamed of me and of my teachings in this faithless and sinful age, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels."
