Mak 9
1 Li di yo ankò: -Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Nan moun ki la koulye a gen ladan yo ki p'ap mouri san yo pa wè Bondye vin pran gouvènman an nan men l' avèk pouvwa.
He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom come with power.”
2 Sis jou apre sa, Jezi pran Pyè, Jak ak Jan; li mennen yo pou kont yo sou tèt yon mòn byen wo. Figi l' chanje la devan yo;
After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
3 rad li vin klere tou blan. Pa gen lesivyèz sou latè ki kapab blanchi konsa.
His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 Twa disip yo wè Eli ak Moyiz parèt, yo t'ap koze avèk Jezi.
Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Pyè pran lapawòl, li di Jezi konsa: -Mèt, sa te bon nèt pou nou te la. N'ap moute twa ti kay, yonn pou ou, yonn pou Moyiz, yonn pou Eli.
Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 Li pa t' konnen sa pou l' te di tèlman yo te pè.
For he did not know what to say, for they were very afraid.
7 Yon nwaj vin kouvri yo, epi yon vwa moun soti nan nwaj la, li di: -Sa se pitit mwen renmen anpil la. Koute li.
A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 Menm lè a, disip yo vire tèt yo, yo gade adwat, yo gade agoch, men yo pa wè pesonn pase Jezi ki te pou kont li avèk yo.
Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
9 Antan yo t'ap desann mòn lan, Jezi pale sevè avèk yo: -Pa di pesonn sa nou sot wè la a, jouk mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, m'a leve soti vivan pami mò yo.
As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 Yo te kenbe pawòl la sekrè, men yonn t'ap di lòt: -Sa sa vle di menm: leve soti vivan pami mò yo?
They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
11 Twa disip yo poze l' keksyon sa a: -Poukisa dirèktè lalwa yo di: Se pou Eli vin anvan.
They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 Li reponn yo: -Se vre wi. Eli gen pou l' vin anvan pou l' mete tout bagay nan lòd. Men, ki jan yo te fè ekri tou: Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a gen pou l' soufri anpil, yo p'ap manke pase l' nan betiz?
He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?
13 Men mwen menm, mwen di nou: Eli vini deja, yo fè sa yo te vle ave l', jan sa te ekri sou li a.
But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”
14 Lè yo rive bò kote lòt disip yo, yo wè yo nan mitan yon mas moun. Te gen kèk dirèktè lalwa la tou ki t'ap diskite avèk yo.
Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 Lè foul moun yo wè Jezi, sezisman pran yo, yo tout kouri vin di l' bonjou.
Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
16 Li mande disip li yo: -Sa n'ap diskite konsa?
He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
17 Yon nonm nan foul moun yo reponn li: -Mèt, mwen te mennen ti gason m' lan ba ou; li anba yon move lespri ki rann li bèbè.
One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
18 Nenpòt ki kote lespri a pran l', li fese l' atè. Lè konsa, tibway la kimen, li manje dan l', epi li vin tou rèd. Mwen te mande disip ou yo pou yo chase lespri a sot sou li, men yo pa t' kapab.
and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.”
19 Jezi di yo: -Ala moun san konfyans nan Bondye! Jouk kilè pou m' rete nan mitan nou? Jouk kilè pou m' sipòte nou? Mennen tibway la ban mwen.
He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
20 Yo mennen l' ba li. Kou ti nonm lan wè Jezi, move lespri a souke l' byen souke. Ti gason an tonbe atè, li woule, li kimen.
They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
21 Jezi mande papa a: -Depi konbe tan li konsa? Papa a reponn li: -Depi li tou piti wi.
He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
22 Anpil fwa menm, move lespri a jete l' nan dife, osinon nan dlo pou touye li. Men, si ou kapab fè kichòy, tanpri, ede nou. Gen pitye pou nou!
Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
23 Jezi di li: -Si m' kapab menm! ...Tout bagay posib wi pou moun ki met konfyans yo nan Bondye.
Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Menm lè a, papa tibway la di byen fò: -Mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye! Men, vin ede m' pou m' sa gen plis konfyans toujou.
Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
25 Lè Jezi wè foul moun yo ap kouri vini, li pale sevè avèk move lespri a, li di li: -Espri bèbè, espri soudè, se mwen k'ap kòmande ou: soti sou tibway la, pa janm antre sou li ankò.
When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”
26 Move lespri a souke tibway la byen souke; li bay yon gwo rèl, epi li soti, li ale. Ti gason an te rete tankou si l' te mouri atè a, kifè anpil moun te gen tan ap di: -Li mouri wi.
After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”
27 Men Jezi pran men l', li fè l' leve. Lamenm, ti gason an kanpe.
But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
28 Antre Jezi antre nan kay la, disip yo pran l' apa, epi yo di li: -Poukisa nou pa t' kapab chase lespri sa a?
When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could not we cast it out?”
29 Li di yo: -Se lapriyè sèlman ki pou fè kalite lespri sa a soti.
He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
30 Yo soti kote yo te ye a, yo travèse peyi Galile. Jezi pa t' vle moun konnen kote li te ye,
They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it,
31 paske li t'ap moutre disip li yo anpil bagay. Li di yo: -Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen pral tonbe anba men lèzòm, yo pral touye mwen. Men, sou twa jou mwen gen pou m' leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
for he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
32 Men, disip yo pa t' konprann sans pawòl sa a: epi yo te pè poze l' keksyon.
But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Yo rive Kapènawòm. Rive li rive nan kay la, Jezi mande yo: -Kisa nou t'ap pale konsa nan chemen an?
He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
34 Pesonn pa louvri bouch yo reponn, paske nan chemen an, yo t'ap diskite pou konnen kilès nan yo ki te pi grannèg.
But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
35 Lè sa a Jezi chita, li rele douz disip yo, li di yo konsa: -Si yon moun vle pou l' nan premye plas la, fòk li mete l' dèyè nèt, fòk li sèvi tout moun.
He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”
36 Epi li pran yon timoun piti, li mete l' nan mitan yo. Li pran timoun lan nan bra l', li di yo konsa:
He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 -Nenpòt moun ki resevwa yon timoun konsa poutèt mwen, se mwen menm menm li resevwa. Nenpòt moun ki resevwa m', se pa mwen li resevwa, men se moun ki voye m' lan li resevwa.
“Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.”
38 Jan di l' konsa: -Mèt, nou te wè yon nonm ki pran non ou pou chase move lespri. Nou te vle anpeche l' fè sa, paske li pa t'ap mache avèk nou.
John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.”
39 Jezi reponn li: -Kite l' non. Paske yon moun ki pran non m' pou fè mirak pa kapab pale m' mal apre sa.
But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40 Moun ki pa kont nou, se moun pa nou li ye.
For whoever is not against us is on our side.
41 Sa m'ap di la a, se vre wi: nenpòt moun ki va ban nou yon gode dlo paske se moun Kris la nou ye, li pa gen dwa pèdi rekonpans li.
For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
42 Kanta moun ki fè yonn nan timoun sa yo ki kwè nan mwen tonbe nan peche, li ta pi bon pou li si yo te mare yon gwo wòl moulen nan kou l', voye li jete nan lanmè.
“Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
43 Si se men ou ki pou ta fè ou tonbe nan peche, koupe l', voye l' jete. Pito ou antre nan lavi a ak yon sèl men, pase pou ou rete ak tou de men ou, apre sa pou ou al nan lanfè, kote dife a pa janm mouri. (Geenna g1067)
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna (Geenna g1067), into the unquenchable fire,
44 Nan lanfè, dife sa a ansanm ak vè k'ap manje kadav yo pa janm mouri. (questioned)
‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
45 Si se pye ou ki pou ta fè ou tonbe nan peche, koupe l', voye li jete. Pito ou antre nan lavi a ak yon sèl pye, pase pou ou rete ak de pye ou, apre sa pou yo jete ou nan lanfè. (Geenna g1067)
If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
46 Nan lanfè, dife sa a ansanm ak vè k'ap manje kadav yo pa janm mouri. (questioned)
‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
47 Si se je ou ki pou ta fè ou tonbe nan peche, rache l' voye l' jete. Pito ou antre nan Peyi kote Bondye Wa a ak yon sèl je, pase pou ou rete ak tou de je ou, apre sa pou yo jete ou nan lanfè. (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God's Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna (Geenna g1067) of fire,
48 La, dife a ansanm ak vè k'ap manje kadav yo pa janm mouri.
‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
49 Paske, tout moun ap sale ak dife.
For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
50 Sèl, se yon bon bagay. Men, si sèl la pèdi gou l', ak kisa poun sale l' ankò? Mete sèl nan kè nou, epi viv byen yonn ak lòt.
Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
