Matye 13
1 Menm jou sa a, Jezi soti nan kay la, li al chita bò lanmè a.
On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
2 Te sitèlman gen moun sanble tout bò kote Jezi, li moute nan yon kannòt, li chita. Tout foul moun yo menm te rete kanpe sou rivaj la.
Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
3 Li t'ap rakonte yo kèk parabòl pou l' te fè yo konprann anpil bagay. Li t'ap di yo konsa: Ala, yon moun soti pou l' ale simen grenn nan jaden l'.
He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
4 Antan l'ap simen grenn yo, kèk grenn tonbe bò chemen an: zwazo vini, yo manje yo.
As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Yon pati grenn tonbe nan mitan wòch, kote ki pa t' gen anpil tè. Grenn sa yo leve byen vit, paske yo pa t' antre fon anba tè a.
Others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
6 Men, lè solèy la chofe, li boule ti plant yo, yo cheche, paske rasen yo pa t' fon.
When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Yon lòt pati tonbe nan mitan pikan. Pikan yo grandi, yo toufe bon ti plant yo.
Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
8 Men, yon lòt pati ankò tonbe nan bon tè; yo donnen. Genyen ki bay san grenn, lòt bay swasant, lòt bay trant.
Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Apre sa, Jezi di yo: Si nou gen zòrèy pou n' tande, tande.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 Disip yo pwoche bò kot Jezi, yo mande li: Poukisa ou pale an parabòl ak moun yo?
The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
11 Jezi reponn yo: Nou menm, Bondye fè nou favè sa a pou nou konnen sekrè Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la. Men yo menm, yo pa resevwa favè sa a.
He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.
12 Paske, moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò. Konsa, la gen plis pase sa l' bezwen an. Men, moun ki pa gen anyen an, y'a wete nan men l' nimm ti sa l' te genyen an.
For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
13 Se poutèt sa m'ap pale an parabòl ak moun sa yo. Paske, lè y'ap gade yo pa wè, lè y'ap koute yo pa tande, ni yo pa konprann.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.
14 Konsa, sa pwofèt Ezayi te di a rive vre pou yo: n'a tande nan zòrèy nou, men, nou p'ap konprann. n'a gade ak je nou, men, nou p'ap wè.
In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive;
15 Paske, lespri pèp sa a vin lou. Yo bouche zòrèy yo, yo fèmen je yo, pou yo pa wè ak je yo, pou yo pa tande nan zòrèy yo, pou yo pa konprann ak lespri yo, pou yo pa tounen vin jwenn mwen pou m' geri yo. Se Bondye ki pale konsa.
for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’
16 Men, pou nou menm, benediksyon pou nou: paske nou wè ak je nou, nou tande nan zòrèy nou.
“But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Anpil pwofèt ak anpil moun ki mache dwat devan Bondye te anvi wè sa n'ap wè la a, men yo pa t' wè li. Yo te anvi tande sa n'ap tande la a, men yo pa t' tande li.
For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.
18 Koulye a, koute. Men sa parabòl moun ki t'ap simen an vle di.
“Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
19 Moun ki tande pawòl ki pale sou Peyi Wa a men ki pa konprann li, yo sanble ak tè bò chemen an, kote kèk grenn te tonbe: Satan vini, li rache pawòl ki te simen nan kè yo a.
When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
20 Gen lòt ki tankou tè ki gen anpil wòch la. Lè yo fèk tande pawòl la, yo resevwa l' ak kè kontan.
What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;
21 Men, yo pa kite l' pouse rasen nan kè yo. Yo pa kenbe l' pou lontan. Lè yo tonbe anba tèt chaje ak pèsekisyon akòz pawòl Bondye a, lamenm yo jwenn okazyon pou yo tonbe nan peche.
yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
22 Gen lòt ankò ki resevwa pawòl la tankou grenn ki tonbe nan mitan pikan. Yo tande pawòl la, men traka lavi ak anvi gen lajan, tou sa toufe pawòl la, kifè yo pa ka bay anyen menm. (aiōn g165)
What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age (aiōn g165) and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
23 Moun ki resevwa pawòl la tankou grenn ki tonbe nan bon tè a, se moun ki konprann pawòl la lè yo tande li. Lè sa a, yo donnen. Gen ladan yo ki bay san, yon lòt bay swasant, yon lòt bay trant.
What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”
24 Jezi ba yo yon lòt parabòl ankò. Li di yo konsa: Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon moun ki te simen bon grenn nan jaden li.
He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
25 Men, yon jou lannwit, pandan tout moun t'ap dòmi, yon lènmi nonm lan vini, li simen move zèb nan mitan mayi yo. Apre sa, li ale.
but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.
26 Lè mayi yo fin pouse, yo pran jete zepi. Lè sa a, move zèb la parèt tou.
But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
27 Moun ki t'ap travay ak mèt jaden an vin di li: Mèt, se pa bon grenn ase nou te simen nan jaden ou lan? Kote move zèb sa yo soti?
The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, did not you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?’
28 Li reponn yo: Se yon lènmi m' ki fè sa. Travayè yo mande li: Ou pa ta vle n' al rache move zèb yo?
“He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’
29 Li di yo: Non, poko fè sa. Paske, antan n'ap rache move zèb yo, nou ka derasinen mayi a avèk yo tou.
“But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
30 Kite yo grandi ansanm jouk lè rekòt la va rive. Lè sa a, m'a di moun k'ap ranmase rekòt la: Rache move zèb yo anvan. Mare yo fè pakèt pou n' al boule. Mayi a menm, mete l' nan galata mwen.
Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
31 Li ba yo yon lòt parabòl ankò. Li di yo konsa: Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon ti grenn moutad yon nonm pran pou li al simen nan jaden li.
He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took, and sowed in his field,
32 Grenn moutad, se grenn ki pi piti nan tout grenn ki genyen. Men, lè l' pouse, li pi gwo pase tout plant menm kalite avèk li. Li vin yon gwo pyebwa. Se konsa zwazo nan syèl la vin fè nich nan branch li yo.
which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.”
33 Li di yo yon lòt parabòl ankò: Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou ledven yon fanm pran, li mete nan senk mezi farin pou fè tout pa t' la leve.
He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”
34 Se avèk parabòl konsa Jezi t'ap moutre foul moun yo tout bagay sa yo. Li pa t' louvri bouch li pou l' pa t' rakonte yo yon parabòl.
Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,
35 Sa te pase konsa pou pawòl pwofèt la te di a te ka rive vre: Se an parabòl m'ap pale ak yo. m'a fè yo konnen bagay ki te kache depi anvan Bondye te kreye latè.
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36 Apre sa, Jezi kite foul moun yo dèyè, li antre nan kay la. Disip li yo pwoche bò kote l', yo di l' konsa: Esplike nou parabòl move zèb nan jaden an.
Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”
37 Li reponn yo: Moun ki simen bon grenn lan, se Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a.
He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
38 Jaden an se latè. Bon grenn yo, se moun ki fè pati Peyi Wa a. Move zèb yo, se moun ki patizan Satan.
the field is the world, the good seeds are the children of the Kingdom, and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
39 Lènmi ki simen move zèb yo, se Satan. Sezon rekòt la, se lè tout bagay va fini nèt la. Moun k'ap ranmase rekòt la, se zanj Bondye yo. (aiōn g165)
The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the consummation of the age (aiōn g165), and the reapers are angels.
40 Menm jan yo te rache move zèb yo pou jete yo nan dife a, se konsa tou sa pral rive, lè tout bagay va fini. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the consummation of this age (aiōn g165).
41 Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va voye zanj li yo pou yo wete tout moun k'ap fè lòt moun fè peche, ansanm ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal. y'a mete yo deyò nan Peyi kote l' Wa a.
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and those who do iniquity,
42 Zanj yo va jete yo nan gwo founo k'ap boule a. Se la va gen rèl, se la moun va manje dan yo.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Men, lè sa a, moun ki te mache dwat devan Bondye yo va klere tankou solèy nan peyi Papa yo ki Wa a. Si nou gen zòrèy pou n' tande, tande. Parabòl ja lajan an
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
44 Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon ja lajan ki te anba tè nan yon jaden. Yon nonm rive jwenn li, li kouvri l' ankò. Li sitèlman kontan, li ale, li vann tou sa l' genyen, li tounen vin achte jaden an.
“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
45 Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon machann k'ap chache bèl grenn pèl.
“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46 Lè li jwenn yon bèl grenn pèl ki chè anpil, li ale, li vann tou sa l' genyen pou l' ka achte li.
who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
47 Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon privye yo voye nan lanmè. Li pran tout kalite pwason.
“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind,
48 Lè li fin plen, pechè pwason yo rale l' sou bò rivaj la. Yo chita, yo triye pwason yo: yo mete bon pwason yo nan panyen, yo jete sa ki pa bon yo nan lanmè ankò.
which, when it was filled, fishermen drew up on the beach. They sat down and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49 Se konsa sa pral rive tou lè tout bagay va fini. Zanj Bondye yo va vini, y'ap mete mechan yo yon bò, moun ki fè sa ki byen yo yon bò. (aiōn g165)
So it will be in the consummation of the age (aiōn g165). The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous,
50 y'a jete mechan yo nan gwo founo k'ap boule a. Se la va gen rèl, se la moun va manje dan yo.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
51 Jezi mande disip li yo: Eske nou konprann tou sa? Yo reponn: Wi.
Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
52 Lè sa a, Jezi di yo: Se konsa, tout dirèktè lalwa ki tounen yon disip nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la ap tankou yon mèt kay k'ap rale met deyò bagay li fenk achte ak bagay li gen depi lontan nan byen l' yo.
He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”
53 Lè Jezi fin di parabòl sa yo, li kite kote l' te ye a.
When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 li ale nan lavil kote l' te grandi a. Li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay nan sinagòg la. Tout moun ki t'ap koute l' te sezi anpil. Yo t'ap di konsa: Ki bò li pran konesans sa a! Kouman li fè fè tout mirak sa yo?
Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
55 Se pa pitit bòs chapant lan? Se pa Mari ki manman li? Se pa frè Jak, Jozèf, Simon ak Jid li ye?
Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
56 Apa tout sè l' yo la avèk nou. Kote l' jwenn tout bagay sa yo?
Are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”
57 Se sak fè yo te jwenn nan li okazyon tonbe nan peche. Lè sa a, Jezi di yo: Yon pwofèt jwenn respè toupatou, esepte nan peyi l' ak nan fanmi li.
They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house.”
58 Se konsa Jezi pa t' fè anpil mirak la, paske yo pa t' kwè nan li.
He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
