1 Men konmansman Bon Nouvèl ki pale sou Jezikri, Pitit Bondye a.
The beginning of the Good News of Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of God.
2 Nan liv pwofèt Ezayi a, men sa ki te ekri: Bondye di: Men m'ap voye mesaje m' lan devan ou. La louvri chemen an pou ou.
As it is written in the Prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you:
3 Se vwa yon nonm k'ap rele nan dezè a: Pare gran wout Seyè nou an. Plani chemen an byen plani pou li.
the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’”
4 Se konsa Jan te parèt nan dezè a, li t'ap batize, li t'ap mache bay mesaj sa a: -Tounen vin jwenn Bondye. vin resevwa batèm, epi Bondye va padonnen peche nou yo.
Yochanan came immersing in the wilderness and proclaiming the immersion of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
5 Tout moun nan peyi Jide a ansanm ak tout pèp lavil Jerizalèm lan te vin jwenn li: yo te konfese peche yo devan tout moun, epi Jan te batize yo nan larivyè Jouden an.
All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were immersed by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
6 Jan te mete yon rad pwal chamo sou li, ak yon sentiwon an po mare nan ren li. Se krikèt ak gato myèl li te jwenn nan bwa li te manje.
Yochanan was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
7 Li t'ap mache bay mesaj sa a: -Moun k'ap vin apre m' lan gen plis pouvwa anpil pase m'. Mwen pa bon ase pou m' ta bese demare sapat ki nan pye li.
He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
8 Mwen menm, mwen batize nou nan dlo. Men li menm, la batize nou nan Sentespri a.
I immersed you in water, but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.”
9 Menm epòk sa a, Jezi te soti Nazarèt, yon bouk nan peyi Galile. Lè sa a, Jan te batize l' nan larivyè Jouden an.
In those days, Yeshua came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by Yochanan in the Jordan.
10 Antan Jezi t'ap soti nan dlo a, li wè syèl la louvri, epi Lespri Bondye a desann sou li an fòm yon pijon.
Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
11 Li tande yon vwa ki soti nan syèl la ki di: -Ou se pitit mwen renmen anpil la. Ou fè kè m' kontan anpil.
A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
12 Touswit apre sa, Lespri Bondye a pouse Jezi al nan dezè a.
Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.
13 Li rete la pandan karant jou, epi se la Satan vin tante l'. Jezi t'ap viv nan mitan bèt bwa yo, epi zanj Bondye yo t'ap okipe li.
He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.
14 Apre yo te fin mete Jan nan prizon, Jezi ale nan peyi Galile pou l' te fè konnen Bon Nouvèl Bondye voye a.
Now after Yochanan was taken into custody, Yeshua came into Galilee, proclaiming the Good News of God’s Kingdom,
15 Li t'ap di yo konsa: -Jou a rive. Koulye a, Bondye ki wa nan syèl la ap vin pran pouvwa a nan men li. Tounen vin jwenn Bondye. Asepte Bon Nouvèl la.
and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
16 Pandan Jezi t'ap mache bò lanmè Galile a, li wè de pechè pwason, Simon ak Andre, frè li a. Yo t'ap voye privye nan lanmè a.
Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 Jezi di yo konsa: -vin jwenn mwen. m'a fè nou tounen pechè moun pito.
Yeshua said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”
18 Lamenm, yo kite privye yo, y' ale avèk li.
Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
19 Jezi vanse pi lwen, li wè de pitit gason Zebede yo, Jak ak Jan, frè li. Yo te chita nan kannòt yo a, yo t'ap repare privye yo.
Going on a little further from there, he saw Jacob the son of Zebedee, and Yochanan his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
20 Lamenm, Jezi rele yo. Yo kite Zebede, papa yo, nan kannòt la ansanm ak ouvrye yo. Y' ale avèk Jezi.
Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 Apre sa, Jezi ale ak disip li yo nan yon lavil yo rele Kapènawòm. Jou repo a, Jezi antre nan sinagòg la; li kòmanse moutre moun yo anpil bagay.
They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 Yo te sezi tande sa l' t'ap moutre yo. Se pa t' menm jan avèk dirèktè lalwa yo, paske li te pale ak yo tankou yon moun ki otorize.
They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Lè sa a, yon nonm ki te gen yon move lespri sou li vin antre nan sinagòg la, li pran rele:
Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 -ey Jezi, moun Nazarèt, kisa nou gen avè ou? Ou vin isit la pou detwi nou? Mwen konnen byen pwòp ki moun ou ye. Ou se moun Bondye chwazi a.
saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Yeshua, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”
25 Jezi pale byen fò ak move lespri ki te sou nonm lan, li di li: -Pe la! Soti sou nonm sa a.
Yeshua rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”
26 Move lespri a souke nonm lan byen souke, li bay yon gwo rèl, epi li soti, li ale.
The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 Tout moun yo te sitèlman sezi, yonn t'ap mande lòt: -Sa sa ye la a menm! Sa se yon lòt bagay l'ap moutre nou la a. Menm move lespri yo, li pase yo lòd ak otorite, yo obeyi li.
They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
28 Se tout moun ki t'ap nonmen non l' nan peyi Galile a.
The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
29 Apre sa, yo soti kite sinagòg la, y' ale ansanm ak Jak ak Jan lakay Simon ak Andre.
Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with Jacob and Yochanan.
30 Bèlmè Simon an te kouche ak lafyèv. Rive Jezi rive lakay la, yo di l' sa.
Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.
31 Lè sa a, li pwoche bò madanm lan, li pran men l', li fè l' leve. Latou, lafyèv la kite l', epi madanm lan resevwa yo.
He came and took her by the hand and raised her up. The fever left her immediately, and she served them.
32 Aswè, apre solèy fin kouche, yo mennen tout moun malad yo ansanm ak tou sa ki te gen move lespri sou yo bay Jezi.
At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
33 Tout moun lavil la te sanble devan pòt kay la.
All the city was gathered together at the door.
34 Lè sa a, Jezi te geri anpil moun ki te soufri divès maladi; li te chase anpil move lespri. Men, li pa t' kite move lespri yo pale, paske yo te konnen ki moun li te ye.
He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 Nan granmaten, byen bonè, li pa t' ankò fè klè, Jezi leve, li soti li kite lavil la, li al yon kote ki pa gen moun. La li t'ap lapriyè.
Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.
36 Simon ak lòt zanmi l' yo soti, yo t'ap chache Jezi.
Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
37 Lè yo jwenn li, yo di l' konsa: -Tout moun ap chache ou wi.
They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 Men li reponn yo: -Ann al yon lòt kote, nan lòt bouk yo nan vwazinaj la. Fòk mwen fè yo konnen mesaj la tou. Se pou sa menm mwen vini.
He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may proclaim there also, because I came out for this reason.”
39 Se konsa li te ale toupatou nan peyi Galile, li t'ap mache bay mesaj la nan sinagòg yo, li t'ap chase move lespri yo.
He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, proclaiming and casting out demons.
40 Yon nonm ki te gen lalèp vin jwenn Jezi; li tonbe ajenou devan li, li mande l' sekou; li di l' konsa: -Si ou vle, ou kapab geri mwen.
A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”
41 Kè Jezi fè l' mal, li lonje men l', li manyen nonm lan, li di li: -Wi, mwen vle ou geri.
Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”
42 Menm lè a, lalèp la kite l', li geri, li te nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was made clean.
43 Apre sa, Jezi voye l' ale, li pase l' lòd byen sevè.
He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,
44 Li di l' konsa: -Piga ou pale sa ak pesonn. Men, al fè prèt la wè ki jan ou ye. Apre sa, wa ofri sa Moyiz te bay lòd pou ofri a. Konsa wa bay tout moun prèv ou geri.
and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
45 Men, nonm lan pati, li pran mache fè konnen bagay la toupatou. Li sitèlman gaye nouvèl la, Jezi pa t' kapab antre ankò nan okenn lavil pou moun pa t' wè li. Li te pito rete andeyò, kote ki pa gen moun. Men, moun te soti toupatou vin jwenn li.
But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Yeshua could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places. People came to him from everywhere.
