Matye 15
1 Lè sa a, kèk farizyen ak dirèktè lalwa soti Jerizalèm, yo vin bò kot Jezi. Yo di li:
Then came to Jesus Pharisees and Scribes that were from Jerusalem, and said:
2 Poukisa disip ou yo pa swiv koutim granmoun lontan yo? Gade. Yo pa lave men yo anvan yo manje.
Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders, and wash not their hands when they eat bread?
3 Li reponn yo: Nou menm k'ap pale a, poukisa n'ap plede dezobeyi kòmandman Bondye yo pou nou swiv koutim pa nou yo?
Jesus replied and said to them: Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God, on account of your tradition?
4 Tande byen. Bondye di nou konsa: Respekte papa ou ak manman ou. Li di ankò: Si yon moun pale papa l' osinon manman l' mal, se pou yo touye l'.
For God hath said: Honor thy father, and thy mother; and he that revileth his father or his mother, shall be put to death.
5 Men nou menm, nou di: Si yon moun di papa l' osinon manman l': Sa m' ta gen pou m' ba ou a, m' ofri l' bay Bondye,
But ye say: Whosoever shall say to a father or to a mother, Be that my offering, by which ye get profit from me: then he must not honor his father or his mother.
6 moun sa a pa bezwen fè anyen pou papa l' osinon pou manman l'. Se konsa, avèk koutim nou yo, nou fè pawòl Bondye a pase pou anyen menm.
And thus ye make void the word of God, for the sake of your tradition.
7 Bann ipokrit! Ezayi te gen rezon lè l' t'ap pale sou nou, jan sa ekri a:
Ye hypocrites, well did the prophet Isaiah prophesy of you, and say:
8 Se nan bouch pèp sa a respekte mwen. Men, kè yo byen lwen mwen.
This people honoreth me with the lips, but their heart is far from me.
9 Se tan yo y'ap pèdi, lè y'ap fè sèvis pou mwen. Paske, nan sa y'ap di, se pawòl lèzòm y'ap moutre moun.
And in vain they pay me homage, while they teach doctrines that are the precepts of men.
10 Apre sa, li rele foul moun yo, li di yo: Koute byen sa m'ap di nou la a, manyè konprann sa:
And he called the multitudes, and said to them, Hear and understand.
11 Se pa bagay ki antre nan bouch yon moun ki ka mete l' nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka sèvi Bondye. Men se sak soti nan bouch li ki ka mete l' nan kondisyon sa a.
Not that which entereth the mouth, defileth a man; but that which proceedeth from the mouth, that defileth a man.
12 Lè sa a, disip li yo pwoche bò kote l', yo di l' konsa: Ou konnen farizyen yo ofiske poutèt sa ou sot di la a.
Then came his disciples, and said to him: Knowest thou, that the Pharisees were offended when they heard that speech?
13 Jezi reponn yo: Si se pa Papa m' nan syèl la ki plante yon plant, yo gen pou yo derasinen li.
And he replied, and said to them: Every plant, which my Father who is in heaven hath not planted, shall be eradicated.
14 Pa okipe yo! Se yon bann avèg k'ap mennen avèg parèy yo. Si yon avèg ap mennen yon lòt avèg, tou de gen pou tonbe nan menm twou a.
Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if a blind man leadeth one blind, they will both fall into the ditch.
15 Pyè pran lapawòl, li di Jezi konsa: Esplike nou parabòl sa a non.
And Simon Cephas answered and said to him: My Lord, explain to us this similitude.
16 Jezi di: Nou menm tou, nou san konprann toujou!
And he said to them: Are ye also, up to this time, without understanding?
17 Nou pa konprann pawòl sa a: Tout bagay ki antre nan bouch yon moun, sa pase nan vant li. Apre sa, li soti deyò.
Know ye not, that whatever entereth the mouth, passeth into the belly, and from there is ejected by purgation?
18 Men, bagay ki soti nan bouch yon moun, se nan kè l' sa soti. Se bagay konsa ki mete yon moun nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka sèvi Bondye.
But that which proceedeth from the mouth, cometh from the heart: and that is what defileth a man.
19 Se nan kè l' tout move lide soti, lide touye moun, lide fè adiltè ak tout lòt bagay ki pa dakò ak volonte Bondye tankou lide vòlò, lide fè manti sou moun, lide bay manti.
For, from the heart proceed evil thoughts, adultery, murder, whoredom, theft, false testimony, reviling.
20 Se bagay sa yo ki mete yon moun nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka sèvi Bondye. Men, keksyon manje san lave men, jan yo di l' la, sa pa ka mete yon moun nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka sèvi Bondye.
These are the things that defile a man. But if a man eat while his hands are unwashed, he is not defiled.
21 Jezi kite kote l' te ye a, li ale nan zòn lavil Tir ak lavil Sidon.
And Jesus departed from there, and went to the confines of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Se konsa, yon fanm, moun peyi Kanaran ki t'ap viv nan zòn lan, vin jwenn li. Li pran rele: Mèt, pitit wa David la, pitye pou mwen. Pitit fi m' lan gen yon move lespri sou li k'ap fatige l' anpil.
And lo, a woman, a Canaanitess from those confines, came forth, calling out and saying: Compassionate me, my Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grievously distressed by a demon.
23 Men, Jezi pa okipe li menm. Disip li yo pwoche bò kote l', yo di l' konsa: Fè l' ale non. Paske, l'ap mache dèyè nou, l'ap plede rele nan zòrèy nou.
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and requested of him, and said: Send her away, for she crieth after us.
24 Jezi reponn: Se sèlman pou moun ki pèdi nan ras Izrayèl la yo voye mwen.
But he answered and said to them: I am not sent, except to the sheep that have strayed from the house of Israel.
25 Men, fanm lan vini, li lage kò l' nan pye Jezi, li di li konsa: Mèt, fè kichòy pou mwen non.
And she came, and worshipped him, and said: Help me, my Lord.
26 Jezi reponn li: Sa pa bon pou m' wete pen nan bouch timoun yo pou m' jete l' bay chen.
Jesus said to her: It is not proper, to take the bread of the children and throw it to the dogs.
27 Lè sa a fanm lan di li: Se vre wi, Mèt. Men, chen manje ti kal pen ki tonbe anba tab mèt li.
And she said: Even so, my Lord; yet the dogs eat of the fragments that fall from the tables of their masters, and live.
28 Lè sa a, Jezi di li: Madanm. Ou gen konfyans anpil. Tout bagay ap pase pou ou jan ou vle l' la. Menm lè a, pitit fi l' la geri.
Then Jesus said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.
29 Jezi kite kote l' te ye a, li mache sou bò lanmè Galile a. Li moute sou yon ti mòn, li chita la.
And Jesus departed from there, and came to the side of the sea of Galilee: and he ascended a mountain, and sat there.
30 Yon bann moun vin jwenn li. Yo mennen moun k'ap bwete, moun ki avèg, bèbè, enfim ansanm ak anpil lòt moun malad ankò. Yo mete yo nan pye Jezi. Jezi geri yo.
And great multitudes came to him; and with them were the lame, and the blind, and the dumb, and the maimed, and many others: and they laid them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them.
31 Foul moun yo te sezi anpil lè yo wè sa: bèbè yo pale, enfim yo geri, moun k'ap bwete yo mache dwat, avèg yo wè. Lè sa a, yo pran fè lwanj Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
So that the multitudes were amazed, when they saw the dumb speaking, and the maimed made whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they praised the God of Israel.
32 Jezi rele disip li yo, li di: Kè m' fè m' mal pou moun sa yo. Sa fè twa jou depi yo la avè m', yo pa gen anyen pou yo manje ankò. Mwen pa vle voye yo ale konsa san manje. Yo ka tonbe feblès nan chemen an.
Then Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: I pity this multitude; for lo, these three days they have continued with me, and they have nothing to eat: and I am unwilling to send them away fasting, lest they faint by the way.
33 Disip yo mande li: Nan dezè sa a, ki bò pou nou jwenn pen pou bay tout moun sa yo manje?
His disciples say to him: Whence can we get bread in the wilderness, to satisfy all this multitude?
34 Jezi mande yo: Konbe pen nou gen konsa? Yo reponn li: Nou gen sèt pen ak kèk ti pwason.
Jesus said to them, How many loaves have ye? They said to him, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 Lè sa a, Jezi fè foul moun yo chita atè.
And he commanded the multitudes to recline on the ground.
36 Li pran sèt pen yo ak pwason yo, li di Bondye mèsi, li kase yo an moso, li renmèt yo bay disip li yo. Disip yo menm mache bay tout moun.
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
37 Tout moun te manje plen vant yo. Disip yo plen sèt panyen pote ale ak moso ki te rete yo.
And they all ate, and were satisfied. And they took up the remains of fragments, seven full baskets.
38 Te gen antou katmil (4.000) gason ki te jwenn manje pou yo manje, san konte fanm ak timoun.
And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 Apre sa, Jezi voye foul moun yo ale, li menm li moute nan kannòt la, li ale nan yon peyi yo rele Magadan.
And when he had sent away the multitudes, he took ship, and came to the coasts of Magdala.
