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.
Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him 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 he answered them, “You see all of these things, don’t you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on 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)
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?” (aiōn g165)
4 Jezi reponn yo: Atansyon pou pesonn pa twonpe nou.
Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5 Paske, anpil moun va vini sou non mwen, y'a di se yo menm ki Kris la. y'a twonpe anpil moun.
For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
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 hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must 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 rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
8 Tou sa, se va tankou tranche anvan akouchman.
But all these things are the 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 deliver you up to oppression and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the 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.
Then many will stumble, and will deliver up 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.
Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.
12 Ap sitèlman gen mechanste sou latè, pifò moun yonn p'ap renmen lòt.
Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
13 Men, moun ki va kenbe fèm jouk sa kaba, se li ki va delivre.
But he who endures to the end 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.
This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the 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.)
“When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through 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.
Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.
18 Moun ki nan jaden pa bezwen tounen lakay yo al pran rechanj.
Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.
19 Lè sa a, se p'ap de doulè pou fanm ansent ak nouris yo.
But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers 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.
Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor 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.
for then there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever 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.
Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
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 any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.
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.
For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
25 Mwen di nou sa davans.
“Behold, 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.
“If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t 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.
For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
28 Kote kadav la va ye a, se la votou yo va sanble.
For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.
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.
“But immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, 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 Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky 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.
He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky 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 from the fig tree learn this parable: When its branch has now become tender and produces its 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.
Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even 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.
Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
35 Syèl la ak tout tè a va pase, men pawòl mwen p'ap janm pase.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not 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 of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 Sak te rive nan tan Noe a, se sa k'ap rive tou lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a ap vini.
As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
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 as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,
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 they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
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 one 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 one will be left.
42 Se poutèt sa, pa kite dòmi pran nou, paske nou pa konnen ki jou Mèt nou va vini.
Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.
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 of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have 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 also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.
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 wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
46 Se va bèl bagay pou domestik la si mèt la jwenn li ap fè travay li lè l' tounen lakay li.
Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
47 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Mèt la va mete l' reskonsab tout byen l' yo.
Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
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 evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’
49 L'ap tonbe bat kanmarad li yo, l'ap rete ap plede manje, ap plede bwè ak tafyatè.
and begins to beat his fellow servants, and 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 in a day when he doesn’t expect it and in an hour when he doesn’t know it,
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 pieces and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
