Matye 11
1 Lè Jezi fin bay douz disip li yo tout lòd sa yo, li kite kote li te ye a, li pati, li ale nan lòt lavil peyi a. Li t'ap mache bay mesaj la, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed there to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Antan Jan Batis te nan prizon, li tande pale travay Kris la t'ap fè. Li voye kèk patizan pa l' ale mande Jezi:
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 Eske se ou ki moun nou konnen ki gen pou vini an, osinon èske nou dwe tann yon lòt?
And said to him, Are you he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 Jezi reponn yo: Ale rakonte bay Jan sa nou tande ak sa nou wè:
Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again those things which you do hear and see:
5 Je avèg yo louvri, moun ki t'ap bwete yo mache byen, moun ki te gen maladi lalèp yo geri, moun ki te soudè yo tande, moun ki te mouri yo leve. Pòv yo tande Bon Nouvèl la.
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 Benediksyon pou moun ki pa jwenn nan mwen okazyon pou tonbe nan peche.
And blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended in me.
7 Lè patizan Jan yo al fè wout yo, Jezi pran pale ak foul la sou Jan. Li di yo konsa: Sa nou te al wè nan dezè a? Yon pye wozo van t'ap souke? Non.
And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went you out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 Men, kisa nou te al wè menm? Yon nonm abiye ak bèl rad? Ala, moun ki mete bèl rad, se kay wa a yo jwenn yo.
But what went you out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
9 Manyè di m' kisa nou te al wè menm? Yon pwofèt? Wi, mwen menm mwen di nou: li pi plis pase yon pwofèt.
But what went you out for to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
10 Men sa ki te ekri sou Jan: Men m'ap voye mesaje m' lan devan ou. Li va louvri chemen an devan pou ou.
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you.
11 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Nan tout moun ki fèt sou latè pa gen yonn ki pi konsekan pase Jan Batis. Malgre sa, moun ki pi piti nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, pi konsekan pase l'.
Truly I say to you, Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 Depi sou tan Jan Batis jouk jòdi a, Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la anba gwo goumen. Se moun ki konn goumen k'ap antre ladan l'.
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 Anvan Jan Batis te rive, tout pwofèt yo ansanm ak lalwa Moyiz la te pale sou Peyi Bondye a.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 Si nou vle kwè l': Jan Batis se Eli ki te gen pou vini an.
And if you will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 Si nou gen zòrèy pou n' tande, tande.
He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 Ak ki moun mwen ta konpare moun k'ap viv nan tan alèkile yo? Yo sanble timoun ki chita sou plas piblik, yonn ap rele lòt pou di l' konsa:
But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like to children sitting in the markets, and calling to their fellows,
17 Nou jwe mizik cho pou nou ak fif nou, nou pa danse. Nou chante chante ki tris pou nou, nou pa kriye.
And saying, We have piped to you, and you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you have not lamented.
18 Jan Batis vini, li pa manje, li pa bwè, yo di li gen yon move lespri sou li.
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a devil.
19 Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen vini, mwen manje, mwen bwè, yo di: Gade yon nonm! Se manje ak bwè ase li konnen! Se zanmi pèseptè kontribisyon ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal li ye! Men tou, lè nou wè rezilta sa Bondye fè, nou rekonèt se li menm nan bon konprann li ki gen rezon.
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a drunkard, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
20 Lè sa a, Jezi pran fè moun lavil kote l' te fè pifò mirak li yo repwòch, paske yo pa t' tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 Li di yo: Malè pou nou, moun lavil Korazen! Malè pou nou moun lavil Betsayda! Paske, si mirak ki fèt nan mitan nou yo, se nan mitan lavil Tir ak lavil Sidon yo te fèt, gen lontan moun sa yo ta mete rad sak sou yo. Yo ta kouvri kò yo ak sann dife pou fè wè yo vle tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
Woe to you, Chorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Se poutèt sa m'ap di nou: Jou jijman an, y'a peni nou pi rèd pase moun lavil Tir ak moun lavil Sidon yo.
But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 Nou menm tou, moun lavil Kapènawòm: nou ta vle yo leve nou jouk nan syèl la? Enben, y'a desann nou jouk anba kote mò yo ye a. Paske, si mirak ki fèt nan mitan nou yo, se nan mitan lavil Sodòm yo te fèt, li ta la jouk jòdi a. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Se poutèt sa m'ap di nou: Jou jijman an, y'a peni nou pi rèd pase moun lavil Sodòm yo.
But I say to you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
25 Lè sa a, Jezi di: O Papa, ou menm ki mèt syèl la ak tè a, mwen di ou mèsi anpil dapre bagay ou te kache nan je gwo save ak moun lespri yo ou devwale yo bay ti piti yo.
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes.
26 Wi, Papa mwen, sa pase konsa paske se konsa ou te vle li.
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 Papa m' renmèt mwen tout bagay. Pesonn pa konn kilès moun Pitit la ye, esepte Papa a. Konsa tou, pesonn pa konn kilès moun Papa a ye, esepte Pitit la, ak moun Pitit la vle fè konnen li.
All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Vini jwenn mwen, nou tout ki bouke, nou tout ki anba chay, m'a soulaje nou.
Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Pran jouk mwen, mete l' sou zepòl nou. Pran leson nan men mwen. Paske mwen dou, mwen toujou soumèt mwen tout bon devan Bondye. Konsa, n'a viv ak kè poze.
Take my yoke on you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.
30 Paske, jouk m'ap ban nou an fasil pou pote, chay m'ap ban nou an pa lou.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
