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.
"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for 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.
When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius 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.
He went out about nine in the morning, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
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.
To them he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went their way.
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.
Again he went out about noon and at three in the afternoon, and did likewise.
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?
About five that afternoon he went out, and found others standing. He said to them, 'Why do you stand here all 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 said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' "He said to them, 'You also go into the 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.
When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last 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 those who were hired at about five in the afternoon came, they each received a denarius.
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.
When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
11 Lè yo resevwa lajan an, yo tonbe bougonnen sou do mèt jaden an.
When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
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 spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.'
13 Mèt la reponn yonn nan yo: Zanmi, mwen pa fè ou okenn lenjistis. Nou te antann pou yon pri, pa vre?
"But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
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 that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
15 Eske m' pa gen dwa fè sa m' vle ak lajan mwen? Osinon, èske sa fè ou mal si m' gen bon kè?
Is it not lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your 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 the last will be first, and the first last; for many are called, but few are 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:
As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside, and on the way he 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,
"Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will 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 will hand him over to the non-Jews to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up."
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 the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing 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.
He said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your 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.
But Jesus answered and said, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."
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 said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
24 Lè dis lòt disip yo tande sa, yo pa t' manke fache sou de frè yo.
When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
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 summoned them, and said, "You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over 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 will not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you must be your servant.
27 Si yonn nan nou ta vle chèf, se pou l' esklav nou tout.
And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave,
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 did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
29 Antan yo t'ap soti lavil Jeriko, yon gwo foul moun pran swiv Jezi.
As they went out from Jericho, a large crowd 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 look, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, shouted, "Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David."
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!
The crowd rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they shouted even more, "Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David."
32 Jezi rete, li rele avèg yo, li mande yo: Kisa nou vle m' fè pou nou?
Jesus stood still, and called them, and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
33 Yo di li: Mèt, fè nou wè nan je nou ankò.
They told him, "Lord, that our eyes may 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.
Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
