Matye 24
1 Jezi soti nan tanp lan, li tapral fè wout li lè disip li yo pwoche bò kote li. Yo t'ap fè l' wè ki jan tanp lan te byen bati.
So as Jesus was going out, departing from the temple, His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple.
2 Men li di yo: Nou wè tout bagay sa yo! Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi. Yon lè p'ap gen de wòch k'ap rete kanpe yonn sou lòt. Tou sa pral kraze nèt vide atè.
But Jesus said to them: “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly I say to you, absolutely not a single stone here will be left upon another, that will not be thrown down.”
3 Jezi te chita sou mòn Oliv la. Disip li yo te pou kont yo avèk li. Yo pwoche bò kote l', yo mande li: Manyè di nou kilè sa va rive? Di nou ki siy ki va fè nou konnen lè w'ap vini an, lè tan sa a va fini nèt? (aiōn g165)
Now as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately saying: “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming and of the completion of the age?” (aiōn g165)
4 Jezi reponn yo: Atansyon pou pesonn pa twonpe nou.
So in answer Jesus said to them: “Watch out, so that no one deceives you.
5 Paske, anpil moun va vini sou non mwen, y'a di se yo menm ki Kris la. y'a twonpe anpil moun.
Because many will come in my name saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will deceive many.
6 Nou pral tande lagè ap fèt toupre nou, ansanm ak nouvèl lagè k'ap fèt byen lwen. Koute sa m'ap di nou byen: nou pa bezwen pè. Paske, fòk bagay sa yo rive. Men, se p'ap ankò lafen an sa.
You will be concerned when you hear of wars and rumors of wars; see to it that you not get worked up; for all of it has to happen, but the end is not yet.
7 Yon pèp pral leve goumen ak yon lòt pèp. Yon peyi va atake yon lòt peyi. Va gen anpil grangou, va gen tranblemanntè divès kote.
For nation will be raised up against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in various places;
8 Tou sa, se va tankou tranche anvan akouchman.
but all these things are only a beginning of birth pains.
9 Lè sa a, y'ap pran nou, y'ap lage nou nan men moun k'ap fè nou pase touman, y'ap touye nou. Moun tout nasyon pral rayi nou poutèt mwen.
“Then they will hand you over to oppression and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
10 Lè sa a, anpil moun pral jwenn okazyon pou yo tonbe nan peche, yonn pral denonse lòt, yonn pral rayi lòt.
And then many will be offended, and they will betray one another and will hate one another.
11 Gen anpil moun k'ap parèt, y'ap pran pòz pwofèt yo, y'a twonpe anpil moun.
And many false prophets will be raised up and they will deceive many.
12 Ap sitèlman gen mechanste sou latè, pifò moun yonn p'ap renmen lòt.
And because of the increase of the lawlessness the love of the majority will grow cold.
13 Men, moun ki va kenbe fèm jouk sa kaba, se li ki va delivre.
So the one who perseveres to the end, he will be saved.
14 Fòk yo gen tan mache bay bon nouvèl Peyi kote Bondye Wa a toupatou sou latè, pou tout moun ka tande mesaj la. Se lè sa a atò lafen an va rive.
And this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole inhabited earth as a witness to all the ethnic nations, and then the end will come.
15 Pwofèt Danyèl te pale sou bagay nou pa ta renmen wè a, bagay k'ap bay gwo lapenn lan. Enben, nou gen pou nou wè bagay sa a chita kote ki rezève nan tanp lan apa pou Bondye. (Se pou moun k'ap li a chache konprann.)
“So then, when you (ye) see the ‘abomination of desolation’, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (let the reader understand),
16 Lè sa a, tout moun ki nan peyi Jide pral blije sove al nan mòn.
“then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 Moun ki va sou tèt kay yo, yo p'ap bezwen antre pran zafè yo nan kay la.
Anyone on the housetop should not go down to take things out of his house,
18 Moun ki nan jaden pa bezwen tounen lakay yo al pran rechanj.
and anyone in the field should not go back to get his cloak.
19 Lè sa a, se p'ap de doulè pou fanm ansent ak nouris yo.
But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing a baby in those days!
20 Lapriyè Bondye pou jou n'a gen pou n' kouri a pa rive ni nan tan fredi, ni yon jou saba.
And pray that your flight may not happen in winter or on a Sabbath.
21 Paske lè sa a, va gen yon gwo lafliksyon moun poko janm wè depi nan konmansman lè Bondye t'ap kreye latè a jouk jòdi a. p'ap janm gen yon lòt tankou l' ankò.
Because then there will be a great tribulation, such as has never been since the beginning of the world until now, and never again will be.
22 Si yo pa t' wete kèk jou sou jou sa yo, pesonn pa ta sove. Men, y'a wete sou jou sa yo poutèt moun Bondye chwazi yo.
And unless those days were cut short no flesh would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
23 Lè sa a, si yon moun di nou: Gade, men Kris la bò isit, osinon: Men li bò la a, pa kwè li.
Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, the Messiah is here!’ or ‘there!’ do not believe him.
24 Paske lè sa a, gen fo Kris ak fo pwofèt k'ap parèt. y'a fè anpil mèvèy ak anpil mirak pou twonpe ata moun Bondye chwazi yo, si yo ta kapab.
Because false christs and false prophets will be raised up, and they will give great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
25 Mwen di nou sa davans.
See, I have told you beforehand.
26 Se pou si yo di nou: Gade, men l' nan dezè a, nou pa bezwen ale. Osinon, si yo di nou: Gade, men l' kache bò isit la, nou pa bezwen kwè yo.
So if they should say to you, ‘Look, He is in the wilderness!’ do not go out; ‘Look, in the secret rooms!’ do not believe it.
27 Menm jan zèklè a fè yan, li klere tout syèl la depi bò solèy leve jouk bò solèy kouche, se konsa Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a gen pou l' vini.
Because just as the lightning comes from east and shines to west, so also will be the coming of the Son of the Man;
28 Kote kadav la va ye a, se la votou yo va sanble.
for wherever the carcass may be there will be a gathering of vultures.
29 Kou jou lafliksyon sa yo fin pase, solèy la p'ap klere ankò, lalin lan p'ap bay limyè l' ankò, zetwal yo va soti tonbe nan syèl la. Pouvwa yo ki nan syèl la va pran tranble.
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 Lè sa a, n'a wè siy nan syèl la k'ap fè nou konnen Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a ap tounen. Lè sa a, tout nasyon ki sou latè va pran kriye. y'a wè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a ap vini anwo nwaj yo nan syèl la, avèk pouvwa, nan mitan yon bann bèl bagay.
And then the sign of the Son of the Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn—they will see the Son of the Man coming on the clouds of the heaven with power and great glory.
31 Gwo klewon an va sonnen, la voye zanj li yo nan kat kwen latè pou sanble tout moun Bondye te chwazi yo, depi yon bout nan syèl la jouk nan lòt bout la.
And He will send out His angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they will collect His elect from the four winds, from one extreme of the heavens to the other.
32 Pran leson sou pye fig frans lan. Kou l' kòmanse boujonnen, kou l' pouse fèy, nou konnen sezon chalè a sou nou.
“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and it puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is near.
33 Menm jan an tou, lè n'a wè tout bagay sa yo rive, nou mèt konnen Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a toupre, li la nan papòt la.
So you also, whenever you see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors!
34 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: gen moun nan jenerasyon sa a ki p'ap gen tan mouri anvan tout bagay sa yo rive.
Assuredly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
35 Syèl la ak tout tè a va pase, men pawòl mwen p'ap janm pase.
The heaven and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
36 Men, pesonn pa konnen ni ki jou, ni ki lè sa va rive, pa menm zanj yo ki nan syèl la, pa menm Pitit la. Sèl Papa a konn sa.
“But no one knows concerning that day and hour, not even the angels of the heavens, except my Father alone.
37 Sak te rive nan tan Noe a, se sa k'ap rive tou lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a ap vini.
But just as were the days of Noah, so also will be the coming of the Son of the Man.
38 Se konsa, nan jou anvan gwo inondasyon an, moun t'ap manje, yo t'ap bwè, moun t'ap marye, yo t'ap marye pitit fi yo. Konsa konsa, jouk jou Noe te antre nan gwo batiman an.
For just as they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, in the days before the flood until the day that Noah entered the ark,
39 Yo pa t' konprann anyen nan sa ki t'ap pase, jouk lè gwo inondasyon an fèt, li pote yo tout ale. Se va menm jan an tou lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va vini.
and were not aware until the flood came and took all away, so also will be the coming of the Son of the Man.
40 Lè sa a, va gen de gason nan yon menm jaden, y'ap pran yonn, y'ap kite lòt la.
Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left.
41 Va gen de fanm k'ap moulen mayi, y'ap pran yonn, y'ap kite lòt la.
Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and the other will be left.
42 Se poutèt sa, pa kite dòmi pran nou, paske nou pa konnen ki jou Mèt nou va vini.
So be watchful, because you (pl) do not know in what hour your Lord is coming.
43 Se yon bagay nou tout dwe konnen: Si mèt kay la te konnen kilè nan lannwit lan vòlò a t'ap vini, li ta veye, li pa ta kite l' kase kay la.
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.
44 Se pou sa tou, nou menm se pou nou toujou pare, paske Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a ap vini lè nou pa ta kwè.
Therefore you also be ready, because the Son of the Man is coming at an hour that you do not suppose.
45 Ki moun ki ka di li se yon jeran entelijan ki fè tout travay li byen? Se moun sa a mèt kay la va mete pou veye sou moun nan kay la, pou bay lòt domestik yo manje lè pou yo manje.
“Who then is the faithful and prudent servant whom his lord placed over his corps of servants to give them food on schedule?
46 Se va bèl bagay pou domestik la si mèt la jwenn li ap fè travay li lè l' tounen lakay li.
Blessed be that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find doing so.
47 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Mèt la va mete l' reskonsab tout byen l' yo.
Assuredly I say to you that he will place him over all his possessions.
48 Men, si domestik sa a se yon move moun, l'ap di nan kè l': Mèt mwen ap fè reta. Li poko ap vini.
But if that bad servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his return,’
49 L'ap tonbe bat kanmarad li yo, l'ap rete ap plede manje, ap plede bwè ak tafyatè.
and should begin to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards,
50 Mèt domestik sa a va rive jou l' pa t'ap tann, yon lè li p'ap konnen.
the lord of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour when he is not aware,
51 L'ap rachonnen msye anba kou, l'ap regle avè l' menm jan yo regle ak moun ipokrit yo. Se lè sa a va gen rèl, se lè sa a va gen manje dan.
and will cut him in two and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
