Matye 20
1 Men ki jan sa ye nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la: Se tankou yon mèt jaden rezen ki soti granmaten al chache moun vin travay nan jaden rezen l' lan.
The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
2 Li antann ak yo pou l' ba yo sa yo peye pou yon jounen travay. Li voye yo al travay nan jaden rezen an.
And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 Li soti ankò vè nevè nan maten, li wè kèk lòt moun ki te kanpe sou plas la san yo p'ap fè anyen.
And going about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place idle.
4 Li di yo: Nou menm tou, nou mèt al travay nan jaden rezen m' lan, m'a peye nou pou sa n'a fè.
And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just.
5 Epi y al travay nan jaden an. Apre sa, mèt jaden an soti ankò vè midi, ak yon lòt fwa ankò vè twazè nan apremidi, li fè menm bagay la.
And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner.
6 Li te vè senkè nan apremidi lè li soti ankò. Li jwenn kèk lòt moun ki te kanpe la sou plas la, li di yo: Poukisa nou rete tout jounen an la san fè anyen konsa?
But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle?
7 Yo reponn li: Se paske pesonn pa ban nou travay. Mèt la di yo: Enben, nou menm tou, nou mèt al travay nan jaden rezen m' lan.
They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go you also into my vineyard.
8 Lè solèy fin kouche, mèt jaden an di jeran l' lan: Rele travayè yo, peye yo lajan yo. Kòmanse ak sa ki te vin an dènye yo pou fini ak premye yo.
And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first.
9 Mesye ki te antre nan travay vè senkè nan apremidi yo vini, yo chak yo resevwa lajan yon jounen travay.
When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10 Lè mesye ki te la depi granmaten yo vin rive, yo te kwè yo tapral resevwa plis. Men, yo chak resevwa lajan yon jounen travay tou.
But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny.
11 Lè yo resevwa lajan an, yo tonbe bougonnen sou do mèt jaden an.
And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,
12 Yo di konsa: Moun sa yo vin an dènye, yo travay yon sèl ti moman, epi ou peye yo menm lajan ak nou ki fatige kò n' travay tout jounen an anba chalè solèy la.
Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats.
13 Mèt la reponn yonn nan yo: Zanmi, mwen pa fè ou okenn lenjistis. Nou te antann pou yon pri, pa vre?
But he answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?
14 Enben, pran lajan ou, al fè wout ou. Se mwen menm ki vle bay moun ki vin an dènye yo menm lajan avè ou.
Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee.
15 Eske m' pa gen dwa fè sa m' vle ak lajan mwen? Osinon, èske sa fè ou mal si m' gen bon kè?
Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good?
16 Apre sa, Jezi di yo ankò: Se konsa moun ki dèyè yo va pran devan, moun ki devan yo va rete dèyè nèt.
So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.
17 Apre sa, Jezi t'ap moute Jerizalèm. Antan li t'ap mache sou wout la, li pran douz disip li yo apa, li di yo:
And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them:
18 Tande. Men n'ap moute Jerizalèm kote yo pral lage m', mwen menm Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, nan men chèf prèt yo ansanm ak dirèktè lalwa yo. Yo pral kondannen m' amò,
Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death.
19 y'ap lage m' bay moun lòt nasyon yo. Etranje sa yo pral pase m' nan rizib, yo pral bat mwen ak kout fwèt, apre sa yo pral kloure m' sou yon kwa. Men, sou twa jou, m'a leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and the third day he shall rise again.
20 Lè sa a, manman pitit Zebede yo pwoche bò kote Jezi ak pitit li yo. Li bese tèt li byen ba devan Jezi pou mande l' yon favè.
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.
21 Jezi di li: Kisa ou vle? Madanm lan reponn: Men de pitit mwen yo. Bay lòd pou yo chita, yonn sou bò dwat ou, lòt la sou bò gòch ou, lè ou va wa.
Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.
22 Jezi reponn li? Nou pa konnen sa n'ap mande la a. Eske nou kapab bwè nan menm gode doulè mwen gen pou m' bwè a? Yo di li: Nou kapab.
And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can.
23 Jezi reponn yo: Se vre. n'a bwè nan gode m' lan. Men, kanta pou chita sou bò dwat osinon sou bò gòch mwen an, se pa mwen ki bay sa. Plas sa yo, Papa m' rezève yo pou moun li vle.
He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.
24 Lè dis lòt disip yo tande sa, yo pa t' manke fache sou de frè yo.
And the ten hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
25 Jezi rele yo, li di yo: Nou konnen ki jan chèf nasyon yo trete pèp la tankou esklav. Grannèg yo renmen fè moun santi jan yo gen pouvwa.
But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that are the greater, exercise power upon them.
26 Men, se pa konsa pou sa fèt nan mitan nou. Okontrè, si yonn nan nou ta vle vin grannèg, se pou l' sèvi nou tout.
It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister:
27 Si yonn nan nou ta vle chèf, se pou l' esklav nou tout.
And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.
28 Se konsa, mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen pa vini pou moun rann mwen sèvis, men mwen vini pou m' rann moun sèvis. Wi, mwen vin bay lavi m' pou peye delivrans anpil moun.
Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.
29 Antan yo t'ap soti lavil Jeriko, yon gwo foul moun pran swiv Jezi.
And when they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 Te gen de avèg chita bò chemen an. Yo annik tande se Jezi ki t'ap pase, yo pran rele: Mèt, pitit David la, pitye pou nou.
And behold two blind men sitting by the way side, heard that Jesus passed by, and they cried out, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us.
31 Moun yo t'ap kouri dèyè yo pou fè yo pe bouch yo. Men, yo t'ap rele pi rèd: Mèt, pitit David la, gen pitye pou nou!
And the multitude rebuked them that they should hold their peace. But they cried out the more, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us.
32 Jezi rete, li rele avèg yo, li mande yo: Kisa nou vle m' fè pou nou?
And Jesus stood, and called them, and said: What will ye that I do to you?
33 Yo di li: Mèt, fè nou wè nan je nou ankò.
They say to him: Lord, that our eyes be opened.
34 Kè Jezi fè l' mal pou yo, li manyen je yo. Menm lè a de mesye yo wè, epi yo swiv Jezi.
And Jesus having compassion on them, touched their eyes. And immediately they saw, and followed him.
