Matye 10
1 Jezi rele douz disip li yo. Li ba yo pouvwa pou chase move lespri ak pouvwa pou geri tout kalite maladi ak enfimite.
He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.
2 Men non douz apòt yo: Premye a se te Simon (li te ba l' yon ti non: Pyè) ak Andre, frè li. Te gen Jak, pitit Zebede, ak Jan, frè li.
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;
3 Te gen Filip ak Batèlmi, Toma ak Matye, pèseptè kontribisyon an, Jak, pitit Alfe a, ak Tade.
Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbaeus, who was also called Thaddaeus;
4 Te gen Simon, patriyòt la ak Jida Iskariòt, nonm ki te lage Jezi nan men lènmi l' yo.
Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 Jezi voye douz mesye yo ale, li ba yo lòd sa a: Piga n' ale nan peyi moun lòt nasyon yo. Pa antre nan lavil Samari yo.
Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go amongst the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans.
6 Okontrè, ale tout kote n'a jwenn moun ras Izrayèl yo ki pèdi.
Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Sou tout wout nou, bay mesaj sa a: Gouvènman Wa ki nan syèl la prèt pou rive.
As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’
8 Geri moun ki malad. Fè moun mouri yo leve. Geri moun ki malad ak lalèp. Chase move lespri yo. Se gratis nou resevwa, se gratis tou pou nou bay.
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.
9 Pa pran ni lò, ni lajan, ni kòb kwiv mete nan pòch nou.
Don’t take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts.
10 Nou pa bezwen pote sak pou vwayaj la. Pa mete de rad sou nou, pa pran ni soulye, ni baton. Paske, yon travayè merite pou yo ba l' manje.
Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the labourer is worthy of his food.
11 Lè nou rive nan yon lavil, osinon nan yon ti bouk, mande si gen moun ki vle resevwa nou. Rete lakay li jouk lè nou pati.
Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on.
12 Lè n'ap antre nan kay la, n'a di: Benediksyon Bondye sou kay la.
As you enter into the household, greet it.
13 Si moun nan kay la resevwa nou, benediksyon nou an va desann sou li. Men, si l' pa vle resevwa nou, benediksyon an va tounen vin jwenn nou.
If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 Si yo pa vle resevwa nou, si yo pa vle koute pawòl nou, soti nan kay la, osinon nan lavil la, al fè wout nou. Souke pousyè pye nou.
Whoever doesn’t receive you or hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.
15 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Jou jijman an, y'ap peni moun lavil sa a pi rèd pase moun Sòdòm ak moun Gomò.
Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgement than for that city.
16 Gade, mesye! M'ap voye nou tankou mouton nan mitan chen mawon. Se sak fè, se pou nou sou prigad nou tankou pentad, se pou nou inonsan tankou pijon.
“Behold, I send you out as sheep amongst wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
17 Pran prekosyon nou ak tout moun; paske y'a trennen nou devan tribinal, y'a bat nou ak kout fwèt nan sinagòg yo.
But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.
18 y'a fè nou konparèt devan chèf gouvènman ak devan wa poutèt mwen, pou nou kapab sèvi m' temwen devan yo ak devan moun lòt nasyon yo.
Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
19 Men, lè y'a mennen nou nan tribinal, pa bat kò nou chache sa n'a gen pou n' di, ni jan n'a gen pou n' pale. Lè lè a va rive, Bondye va mete nan bouch nou sa n'a gen pou n' di.
But when they deliver you up, don’t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.
20 Paske, se pa nou menm ki va pale, men se Lespri Papa nou an ki va mete pawòl nan bouch nou.
For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21 Frè va denonse frè pou fè touye li. Papa va denonse pitit. Pitit va leve kont papa ak manman pou fè touye yo.
“Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
22 Tout moun pral rayi nou poutèt mwen. Men, moun ki va kenbe fèm jouk sa kaba, se yo ki va sove.
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
23 Lè y'a pèsekite nou nan yon lavil, sove ale nan yon lòt. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va gen tan vini anvan n'a fin mache nan tout lavil ki nan peyi Izrayèl la.
But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man has come.
24 Yon elèv pa pi fò pase mèt li. Nitou, yon domestik pa pi grannèg pase patwon li.
“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.
25 Si yon elèv rive fò tankou mèt li, sa kont pou li; si yon domestik rive tankou patwon li, sa kont pou li. Si yo rele mèt kay la Bèlzeboul, se pa lòt moun nan kay la yo p'ap bay pi move non toujou!
It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!
26 Se sak fè nou pa bezwen pè pesonn. Pa gen anyen ki kache ki p'ap dekouvri yon lè. Nanpwen sekrè ki p'ap devwale.
Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
27 Tou sa m'ap di nou nan fènwa, nou menm repete l' gwo lajounen. Tou sa yo di nou nan zòrèy, mache bay li nan tout kalfou.
What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
28 Nou pa bezwen pè moun ki kapab touye kò nou, men ki pa kapab touye nanm nou. Se Bondye pou nou pè pito, paske li menm li kapab detwi nanm nou ansanm ak tout kò nou nan lanfè. (Geenna g1067)
Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
29 Eske yo pa vann ti zwazo de pou senk kòb? Malgre sa, pa gen yon sèl ki tonbe atè san Papa nou pa konnen.
“Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
30 Pou nou menm menm, ata grenn cheve nan tèt nou, yo tout konte.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Se sak fè, nou pa bezwen pè menm: nou vo pi plis pase anpil ti zwazo.
Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Moun ki va kanpe pou mwen devan lèzòm, mwen menm tou, m'a kanpe pou li devan Papa m' ki nan syèl la.
Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.
33 Men tou, moun ki va kanpe devan lèzòm pou di li pa konnen m', mwen menm tou, m'a kanpe devan Papa m' ki nan syèl la, m'a di mwen pa konnen l'.
But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
34 Pa mete nan tèt nou se lapè mwen vin mete sou latè; mwen pa vin mete lapè, men mwen vin mete divizyon.
“Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword.
35 Mwen vin mete divizyon ant pitit gason ak papa yo, ant pitit fi ak manman yo, ant bèlfi ak bèlmè yo.
For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 Se pwòp fanmi nou ki va pi gwo lènmi nou.
A man’s foes will be those of his own household.
37 Moun ki renmen papa l' osinon manman l' plis pase m' pa kapab moun pa m'. Moun ki renmen pitit gason l' osinon pitit fi l' plis pase m' pa kapab moun pa m'.
He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.
38 Moun ki pa pran kwa l' pou l' swiv mwen, li pa kapab moun pa m' non plis.
He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.
39 Moun k'ap chache asire lavi l' va pèdi li. Men, moun ki va pèdi lavi l' poutèt mwen va jwenn li ankò.
He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
40 Moun ki resevwa nou, se mwen menm li resevwa. Moun ki resevwa mwen, li resevwa moun ki voye m' lan tou.
“He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
41 Moun ki resevwa yon pwofèt Bondye paske se pwofèt Bondye li ye, moun sa a va resevwa rekonpans yo bay yon pwofèt. Moun ki resevwa yon nonm k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye paske se yon moun dwat li ye, moun sa a va resevwa rekonpans yo bay yon moun k'ap mache dwat.
He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
42 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Nenpòt moun ki va bay yonn nan ti piti sa yo menm yon gode dlo frèt paske se disip mwen li ye, moun sa a p'ap pèdi rekonpans li.
Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.”
