Matye 19
1 Lè Jezi fin di pawòl sa yo, li kite peyi Galile a, li ale nan zòn peyi Jide ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an.
It happened when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 Yon gwo foul moun t'ap swiv li. Lè l' rive, li geri malad yo.
Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Kèk farizyen pwoche bò kot Jezi pou yo wè si yo te ka pran l' nan pèlen. Yo mande li: Eske lalwa nou pèmèt yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou nenpòt ki kòz?
And Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying to him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce a wife for any reason?"
4 Jezi reponn yo: Eske nou pa li sa ki ekri nan Liv la? Nan konmansman, lè Bondye t'ap fè moun, li te fè yo gason ak fi.
He answered, and said, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,
5 Apre sa li di: Se poutèt sa, gason an va kite papa l' ak manman l' pou l' mete tèt li ansanm ak madanm li. Yo tou de va fè yon sèl kò.
and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?'
6 Konsa, yo pa de ankò, men yo fè yon sèl kò. Se poutèt sa, pesonn moun pa gen dwa separe sa Bondye mete ansanm.
So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no one separate."
7 Farizyen yo di li: Bon, poukisa Moyiz te bay lòd pou yon nonm ekri yon papye divòs voye bay madanm li, anvan pou l' kite avè li?
They asked him, "Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce, and divorce her?"
8 Jezi reponn yo: Se paske nou gen tèt di kifè Moyiz te ban nou dwa kite ak madanm nou. Men, nan konmansman se pa t' konsa.
He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
9 Mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Lè yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou l' al marye ak yon lòt, li fè adiltè, esepte si se pou lenkondite li ta kite ake madanm lan.
I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery. And he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery."
10 Disip li yo di li: Si se konsa bagay la ye pou yon nonm ak madanm li, pito yon nonm pa marye.
The disciples said to him, "If this is the case of a husband with a wife, it is not expedient to marry."
11 Jezi reponn yo: Se pa tout moun ki asepte pawòl sa a. Se sèlman moun Bondye bay pouvwa pou sa.
But he said to them, "Not everyone can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
12 Paske, gen anpil rezon ki ka enpoze yon nonm marye. Genyen ki fèt tou konsa: yo pa ka marye. Gen lòt, se moun ki mete yo nan eta sa a pou yo pa ka marye. Gen lòt ankò ki pa marye poutèt Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la. Si yon moun ka asepte pawòl sa a, se pou l' asepte li.
For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it."
13 Lè sa a, yo mennen kèk timoun piti bay Jezi pou l' te mete men l' sou tèt yo, pou l' te lapriyè pou yo. Men, disip yo t'ap di moun yo pa fè sa.
Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
14 Jezi di yo: Kite timoun yo vin jwenn mwen non. Pa enpoze yo vini. Paske, Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se pou tout moun ki tankou timoun sa yo li ye.
But Jesus said, "Allow the little children, and do not forbid them to come to me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to ones like these."
15 Li mete men l' sou tèt yo. Apre sa, li pati, li kite kote l' te ye a.
He placed his hands on them, and departed from there.
16 Yon nonm pwoche bò kot Jezi, li di l' konsa: Mèt, ki bon bagay mwen dwe fè pou m' ka resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an? (aiōnios g166)
And look, someone came to him and said, "Teacher, what good thing must I do, that I may have everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
17 Jezi reponn li: Poukisa w'ap poze m' keksyon sou sa ki bon? Se yon sèl ki bon. Si ou vle antre nan lavi a, se pou ou fè sa kòmandman yo mande. Nonm lan mande li: Kilès kòmandman sa yo?
He said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? No one is good but one. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
18 Jezi reponn li: Piga ou touye moun. Piga ou fè adiltè. Piga ou vòlò. Piga ou bay manti.
He said to him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, "'Do not murder.' 'Do not commit adultery.' 'Do not steal.' 'Do not offer false testimony.'
19 Respekte papa ou ak manman ou. Se pou ou renmen frè parèy ou tankou ou renmen tèt pa ou.
'Honor your father and mother.' And, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
20 Jennonm lan di li: Mwen swiv tout bagay sa yo. Kisa pou m' fè ankò?
The young man said to him, "All these things I have kept. What do I still lack?"
21 Jezi di li: Si ou vle bon nèt san manke anyen, ale vann tou sa ou genyen, separe lajan an bay pòv. Lè sa a, wa gen yon richès nan syèl la. Apre sa, vin swiv mwen.
Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
22 Lè jennonm lan tande pawòl sa yo, li vin kagou, li vire do l', li ale paske li te gen anpil byen.
But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
23 Lè sa a, Jezi di disip li yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi. Sa ap difisil nèt pou yon nonm rich antre nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.
Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is difficult for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 M'ap di nou sa ankò: L'ap pi fasil pou gwo bèt yo rele chamo a pase nan je yon zegwi pase pou yon nonm rich antre nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter into the Kingdom of God."
25 Lè disip yo tande sa, yo pa t' manke sezi, yo di: Nan kondisyon sa a, ki moun ki ka sove?
When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"
26 Jezi gade yo, li di: Moun pa ka fè sa, se vre. Men, pa gen anyen Bondye pa kapab fè.
Looking at them, Jesus said, "With humans this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
27 Lè sa a, Pyè di li: Men, koute non. Nou kite tout bagay pou nou swiv ou. Kisak pral rive nou?
Then Peter answered, "Look, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?"
28 Jezi reponn yo: Se vre wi, sa m'ap di nou la a: Lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va chita sou fòtèy li ak tout bèl pouvwa li, lè tout bagay va chanje nèt, nou menm k'ap swiv mwen, n'a chita sou douz fòtèy tou, pou nou ka jije douz branch ras Izrayèl la.
Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Nenpòt moun ki va kite kay li, osinon frè l', osinon sè l', osinon papa l', osinon manman l', osinon pitit li, osinon jaden l', poutèt mwen, moun sa a gen pou l' resevwa san (100) fwa plis pase sa, ansanm ak lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. (aiōnios g166)
Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Anpil nan moun ki devan yo va rete dèyè. Anpil nan moun ki dèyè yo va pran devan.
But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.
