Matye 21
1 Yo t'ap pwoche bò lavil Jerizalèm, yo te gen tan rive nan bouk Betfaje, toupre mòn Oliv la. Lè sa a, Jezi voye de nan disip li yo,
And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 li di yo: Ale nan bouk ki devan nou an. Kou n'a rive, n'a jwenn yon manman bourik mare, ak yon jenn ti bourik avèk li. Lage yo, mennen yo ban mwen.
Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me.
3 Si yon moun di nou kichòy, n'a reponn: Se Mèt la ki bezwen yo. Menm lè a, la kite nou ale ak yo.
And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them: and forthwith he will let them go.
4 Sa te rive konsa pou pawòl pwofèt la te di a te ka rive vre:
Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
5 Ale di moun lavil Siyon yo: Gade, men wa nou an ap vin jwenn nou. Li san lògèy, li moute yon bourik, yon ti bourik dèyè manman.
Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.
6 Disip yo ale, yo fè tou sa Jezi te bay yo lòd fè a.
And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.
7 Yo mennen manman bourik la ak jenn ti bourik la, yo mete rad yo sou bèt yo, epi Jezi moute chita.
And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon.
8 Yon foul moun te tann rad yo atè sou tout chemen an. Gen lòt menm ki te koupe branch bwa, yo mete yo atè nan chemen an.
And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way:
9 Ni foul moun ki t'ap mache devan Jezi a, ni moun ki t'ap mache dèyè l' yo, yo tout t'ap rele: Lwanj pou Pitit David la! Benediksyon pou Moun ki vini nan non Mèt la. Lwanj pou Bondye jouk anwo nan syèl la!
And the multitudes that went before and that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
10 Lè Jezi antre lavil Jerizalèm, tout lavil la te tèt anba. Moun yo t'ap mande: Ki moun nonm sa a ye menm?
And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this?
11 Foul moun yo menm t'ap reponn yo: Se pwofèt Jezi, moun Nazarèt nan peyi Galile a.
And the people said: This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Jezi antre nan tanp Bondye a, li chase tout moun ki t'ap vann ak tout moun ki t'ap achte nan tanp lan. Li chavire tab moun ki t'ap chanje lajan yo ansanm ak chèz moun ki t'ap vann pijon yo.
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves:
13 Apre sa, li di yo; Men sa ki ekri: y'a rele kay mwen an kay kote pou moun vin lapriyè nan pye m'. Men nou menm, nou fè l' tounen yon kachèt pou vòlè.
And he saith to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.
14 Kèk avèg ak kèk enfim nan pye pwoche bò kote Jezi nan tanp lan. Li geri yo.
And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple; and he healed them.
15 Men, chèf prèt yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo te fache anpil lè yo wè bèl bagay li t'ap fè, lè yo tande timoun yo ki t'ap rele nan tanp lan: Lwanj pou Pitit David la!
And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying: Hosanna to the son of David; were moved with indignation.
16 Yo di Jezi konsa: Eske ou pa tande sa y'ap di? Jezi reponn yo: M' tande wi. Eske nou pa janm li pawòl sa a nan Liv la: Ou fè timoun piti ak tibebe nan tete fè gwo lwanj pou ou?
And said to him: Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yea, have you never read: Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 Apre sa, li kite yo, li soti lavil la, li ale Betani. Se la li pase nwit lan.
And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania, and remained there.
18 Nan denmen maten, antan yo t'ap tounen lavil Jerizalèm, Jezi te grangou.
And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry.
19 Li wè yon pye fig frans bò wout la, li pwoche bò kote l'. Men se fèy ase li jwenn. Lè sa a, Jezi di pye fig frans lan: Ou p'ap janm donnen ankò. Menm lè a, pye fig frans lan cheche. (aiōn g165)
And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only, and he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
20 Lè disip yo wè sa, yo pa t' manke sezi, yo di li: Kouman pye fig frans lan fè vin chèch nan yon ti moman?
And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?
21 Jezi reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Si nou te gen konfyans nan Bondye, si nou pa t' gen doutans nan kè nou, se pa sèlman sak rive pye fig frans lan nou ta fè. Men, nou ta ka di mòn sa a: Wete kò ou la. Ale jete tèt ou nan lanmè. Sa ta fèt vre.
And Jesus answering, said to them: Amen, I say to you, if you shall have faith, and stagger not, not only this of the fig tree shall you do, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take up and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done.
22 Si nou gen konfyans nan Bondye, n'a resevwa tou sa n'a mande l' lè n'ap lapriyè.
And in all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
23 Jezi antre nan tanp lan, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Chèf prèt yo avèk chèf fanmi ki t'ap dirije pèp jwif la vin di li: Ki dwa ou genyen pou w'ap fè tout bagay sa yo? Kilès ki ba ou otorite sa a?
And when he was come into the temple, there came to him, as he was teaching, the chief priests and ancients of the people, saying: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority?
24 Jezi reponn yo: M'ap poze nou yon keksyon mwen menm tou. Si nou reponn mwen, m'a di nou ki dwa mwen genyen pou m' fè bagay sa yo.
Jesus answering, said to them: I also will ask you one word, which if you shall tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Ki moun ki te voye Jan batize moun? Bondye osinon moun? Men, yonn t'ap di lòt konsa: Si nou reponn: Se Bondye ki te voye l', la mande nou poukisa nou pa t' kwè l'.
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying:
26 Si nou reponn: Se moun ki te voye l', afè nou p'ap bon ak foul moun yo, paske yo tout te pran Jan Batis pou yon bon pwofèt.
If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? But if we shall say, from men, we are afraid of the multitude: for all held John as a prophet.
27 Apre sa, yo reponn Jezi: Nou pa konnen. Jezi di yo: Enben, mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap di nou ki dwa mwen genyen pou m' fè bagay sa yo.
And answering Jesus, they said: We know not. He also said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 Sa nou konprann nan sa? Vwala se te yon nonm ki te gen de pitit gason. Li pale ak pi gran an, li di l': Pitit mwen, jòdi a al travay nan jaden rezen an.
But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work today in my vineyard.
29 Pitit la reponn li: Non, mwen pa vle! Men, pita li chanje lide, li ale.
And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went.
30 Apre sa, papa a pale ak lòt pi piti a, li di l' menm bagay la. Pi piti a reponn li: Wi, papa. Men, li pa janm mete pye li.
And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not.
31 Kilès nan de pitit yo ki fè volonte papa a? Yo reponn li: Pi gran an. Lè sa a, Jezi di yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Pèseptè kontribisyon ak fanm movèz vi yo va antre nan Peyi kote Bondye wa a anvan nou.
Which of the two did the father’s will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Paske, lè Jan Batis te vin bò kote nou, lè li t'ap moutre nou jan pou nou viv dwat devan Bondye a, nou pa t' kwè li. Men, pèseptè kontribisyon ak fanm movèz vi yo te kwè li. Malgre nou te wè sa, nou pa t' chanje lide nou pou n' te kwè nan li tou.
For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him.
33 Koute yon lòt parabòl. Vwala se te yon nonm ki te gen anpil tè. Li plante yon jaden rezen. Li fèmen l' ak yon lantouraj, li fouye yon basen pou krase rezen yo. Li bati yon kay pou moun k'ap veye jaden an. Apre sa, li antann li avèk kèk moun pou okipe jaden an pou li, lèfini li pati, li al nan vwayaj.
Hear ye another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into a strange country.
34 Lè sezon rekòt rezen an rive, li voye domestik li yo chache rezen pa l' bò kote jeran yo.
And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.
35 Jeran yo mete men sou domestik yo, yo bat yonn byen bat, yo touye yon lòt, yo touye yon twazyèm ak kout wòch.
And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Mèt jaden an voye lòt domestik ankò, pi plis pase premye fwa a. Jeran yo maltrete yo menm jan an.
Again he sent other servants more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.
37 Apre sa, li voye pwòp pitit gason l' bò kote yo andènye. Li t'ap di nan kè l': Omwens y'a gen respè pou pitit mwen an.
And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.
38 Men, lè jeran yo wè pitit la, yonn di lòt: Men eritye a. Vini non, ann touye li. Konsa, jaden an va vin pou nou.
But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.
39 Yo mete men sou li, yo jete l' lòt bò jaden an, yo touye li.
And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Bon, lè mèt jaden rezen an vini, kisa li va fè jeran sa yo?
When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41 Yo reponn li: Li p'ap gen pitye pou yo. La fè touye malveyan sa yo, la pran jaden rezen an bay lòt jeran ki va ba l' pòsyon pa l' nan rekòt la lè sezon an va rive.
They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end; and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in due season.
42 Apre sa, Jezi di yo: Eske nou pa janm li pawòl sa yo nan Liv la? Wòch moun ki t'ap bati yo te voye jete a, se li menm ki tounen wòch ki kenbe kay la. Sa se travay Mèt la. Se bèl bagay pou nou wè sa.
Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes.
43 Se poutèt sa mwen di nou: y'a wete Peyi kote Bondye Wa a nan men nou, y'a pran l' bay moun yon lòt nasyon ki va bay rannman pou Peyi Wa a.
Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.
44 Moun ki bite sou wòch sa a gen pou kase ren li. Men, si se wòch la menm ki tonbe sou li, li gen pou l' kraze l' an miyèt moso.
And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
45 Lè chèf prèt yo ak farizyen yo tande parabòl sa yo, yo vin konprann se pou yo Jezi t'ap pale.
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
46 Lè sa a, yo t'ap chache yon jan pou mete men sou li. Men, yo te pè foul moun yo ki te pran Jezi pou yon bon pwofèt.
And seeking to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes: because they held him as a prophet.
