Matye 27
1 Nan granmaten, tout chèf prèt yo ansanm ak chèf fanmi k'ap dirije pèp la, yo mete tèt yo ansanm sou do Jezi. Yo pran desizyon pou fè touye li.
At daybreak all the Chief Priests and the Councillors of the Nation consulted together against Jesus, to bring about his death.
2 Apre yo fin mare l', yo mennen l' ale, yo renmèt li bay Pons Pilat, gouvènè peyi a.
They put him in chains and led him away, and gave him up to the Roman Governor, Pilate.
3 Jida menm, nonm ki te trayi Jezi a, lè l' wè yo te kondannen Jezi, remò pran l', li pote trant pyès lajan yo tounen bay chèf prèt yo ansanm ak chèf fanmi yo. Li di konsa:
Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that Jesus was condemned, repented of what he had done, and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the Chief Priests and Councillors.
4 Sa m' fè a mal. Se yon inonsan mwen lage nan men nou. Yo reponn li: Ki mele nou sa? Sa se zafè pa ou.
“I did wrong in betraying a good man to his death,” he said. “What has that to do with us?” they replied. “You must see to that yourself.”
5 Jida jete pyès lajan yo nan tanp lan, li soti, li ale pann tèt li.
Judas flung down the pieces of silver in the Temple, and left; and went away and hanged himself.
6 Chèf prèt yo ranmase lajan an, yo di konsa: Sa se lajan san. Lalwa nou pa pèmèt nou mete lajan konsa nan kès tanp lan.
The Chief Priests took the pieces of silver, but they said: “We must not put them into the Temple treasury, because they are blood-money.”
7 Apre sa, yo tonbe dakò pou yo achte yon jaden nan men yon nonm ki te konn fè krich. Yo pran tè a sèvi simityè pou etranje ki mouri nan peyi a.
So, after consultation, they bought with them the ‘Potter’s Field’ for a burial-ground for foreigners;
8 Se poutèt sa, jouk jounen jòdi a, yo rele jaden sa a: Jaden san.
and that is why that field is called the ‘Field of Blood’ to this very day.
9 Se konsa pawòl pwofèt Jeremi te di a rive vre: Yo pran trant pyès lajan yo. Se pri sa a moun ras Izrayèl yo te dakò peye pou li.
Then it was that these words spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah were fulfilled — ‘They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was valued, whom some of the people of Israel valued,
10 Ak lajan an, yo achte jaden nonm ki konn fè krich la, dapre lòd Bondye te ban mwen an.
and gave them for the Potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.’
11 Jezi parèt devan gouvènè a. Gouvènè a keksyonnen l', li mande li: Ou se wa jwif yo? Jezi reponn li: Se ou ki di li.
Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Roman Governor. “Are you the King of the Jews?” asked the Governor. “It is true,” answered Jesus.
12 Chèf prèt yo ak chèf fanmi yo t'ap depoze anpil plent kont Jezi. Jezi menm pa t' reponn anyen.
While charges were being brought against him by the Chief Priests and Councillors, Jesus made no reply.
13 Pilat di li: Ou pa tande tout plent yo depoze sou do ou?
Then Pilate said to him: “Do not you hear how many accusations they are making against you?”
14 Men Jezi pa ba l' repons sou anyen. Sa te fè Pilat sezi anpil.
Yet Jesus made no reply — not even a single word; at which the Governor was greatly astonished.
15 Pou chak fèt Delivrans gouvènè a te konn lage yon prizonye. Se pèp la ki te konn chwazi kilès.
Now, at the Feast, the Governor was accustomed to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might choose.
16 Lè sa a, te gen yon prizonye yo te rele Jezi Barabas. Tout moun te konnen ki moun li ye.
At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 Lè Pilat wè pèp la sanble deyò a, li di yo: Kilès nou vle m' lage ban nou: Jezi Barabas osinon Jezi yo rele Kris la?
So, when the people had collected, Pilate said to them: “Which do you wish me to release for you? Barabbas? Or Jesus who is called ‘Christ’?”
18 Pilat te byen konnen se jalouzi ki te fè yo mennen Jezi ba li.
For he knew that it was out of jealousy that they had given Jesus up to him.
19 Antan Pilat te chita sou fotèy jij li nan tribinal la, madanm li voye di li: Nonm sa a inonsan tande. Pa mele nan zafè sa a. Paske yèswa, mwen soufri anpil poutèt li nan dòmi.
While he was still on the Bench, his wife sent this message to him — “Do not have anything to do with that good man, for I have been very unhappy to-day in a dream on account of him.”
20 Chèf prèt yo ak chèf fanmi yo pran tèt pèp la pou yo mande Pilat pou l' lage Barabas ba yo, pou l' fè touye Jezi.
But the Chief Priests and the Councillors persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to kill Jesus.
21 Gouvènè a pran lapawòl, li di yo: Kilès nan de a nou vle m' lage ban nou? Yo reponn: Barabas.
The Governor, however, said to them: “Which of these two do you wish me to release for you?” “Barabbas,” they answered.
22 Pilat mande yo: Bon. Kisa pou m' fè ak Jezi yo rele Kris la? Yo tout reponn: Kloure l' sou yon kwa!
“What then,” Pilate asked, “shall I do with Jesus who is called ‘Christ?’ “Let him be crucified,” they all replied.
23 Pilat di yo: Ki movezak li fè konsa? Yo rele pi fò toujou: Kloure l' sou yon kwa!
“Why, what harm has he done?” he asked. But they kept shouting furiously: “Let him be crucified!”
24 Lè Pilat wè li pa t' kapab fè anyen ankò, paske pèp la te soti pou l' te fè plis dezòd toujou, li pran dlo, li lave men l' devan tout foul moun yo. Li di yo: Mwen menm, mwen pa reskonsab lanmò nonm sa a. Sa, se sou kont nou li ye.
When Pilate saw that his efforts were unavailing, but that, on the contrary, a riot was beginning, he took some water, and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying as he did so: “I am not answerable for this bloodshed; you must see to it yourselves.”
25 Tout pèp la reponn: Se pou reskonsablite lanmò l' tonbe sou nou ak sou tout pitit nou yo.
And all the people answered: “His blood be on our heads and on our children’s!”
26 Apre sa, Pilat lage Barabas ba yo. Li fè yo bat Jezi byen bat, li renmèt yo li pou y al kloure l' sou yon kwa.
The Pilate released Barabbas to them; but Jesus he scourged, and gave him up to be crucified.
27 Sòlda Pilat yo mennen Jezi nan kay gouvènè a. Yo sanble tout batayon sòlda yo fè wonn li.
After that, the Governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Government House, and gathered the whole garrison round him.
28 Yo dezabiye l', yo mete yon gwo rad koulè wouj violèt sou li.
They stripped him, and put on him a red military cloak,
29 Yo trese yon kouwòn pikan mete nan tèt li, yo ba l' yon ti bwa wozo kenbe nan men dwat li. Apre sa, yo mete ajenou devan l', yo pran pase l' nan betiz. Yo di li: Bonjou, wa jwif yo!
and having twisted some thorns into a crown, put it on his head, and a rod in his right hand, and then, going down on their knees before him, they mocked him. “Long life to you, King of the Jews!” they said.
30 Yo krache sou li, yo pran wozo a, yo ba l' kou nan tèt.
They spat at him and, taking the rod, kept striking him on the head;
31 Apre yo fin pase l' anba kont betiz yo, yo wete gwo rad la, yo mete rad pa l' sou li ankò. Epi yo mennen l' ale pou yo kloure l' sou yon kwa.
and, when they had left off mocking him, they took off the military cloak, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to be crucified.
32 Lè yo soti, yo kontre yon nonm peyi Sirèn ki te rele Simon. Yo fòse msye pote kwa Jezi a.
As they were on their way out, they came upon a man from Cyrene of the name of Simon; and they compelled him to go with them to carry the cross.
33 Lè yo rive kote ki rele Gòlgota a (ki vle di: Plas zo bwa tèt la)
On reaching a place named Golgotha (a place named from its likeness to a skull),
34 yo bay Jezi bwè diven mele ak fyèl. Men, lè l' goute l', li pa t' vle bwè li.
they gave him some wine to drink which had been mixed with gall; but after tasting it, Jesus refused to drink it.
35 Apre yo fin kloure l' sou kwa a, yo tire osò pou separe rad li yo.
When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among them by casting lots.
36 Apre sa, yo chita ap veye li.
Then they sat down, and kept watch over him there.
37 Yo mete yon ti pankat anlè tèt li pou fè konnen kòz ki fè yo te kondannen l' la.
Above his head they fixed the accusation against him written out — ‘THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
38 Yo te kloure de ansasen sou de lòt kwa an menm tan avè l', yonn sou bò dwat, yonn sou bò gòch.
At the same time two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right, the other on the left.
39 Moun ki t'ap pase bò la a t'ap plede joure li. Yo t'ap fè siy sou li.
The passers-by railed at him, shaking their heads as they said:
40 Yo t'ap di: Ou menm ki te vle kraze tanp lan pou ou te rebati l' nan twa jou, sove tèt ou non! Si ou se pitit Bondye a, desann sou kwa a!
“You who ‘destroy the Temple and build one in three days,’ save yourself! If you are God’s Son, come down from the cross!”
41 Konsa tou, chèf prèt yo, dirèktè lalwa yo ak chèf fanmi yo t'ap pase l' nan rizib. Yo t'ap di:
In the same way the Chief Priests, with the Teaches of the Law and Councillors, said in mockery:
42 Gade! Li sove lòt moun, li pa kapab sove tèt pa li. Si l' se wa pèp Izrayèl la, se pou l' desann sou kwa a koulye a. Lè sa a, n'a kwè nan li.
“He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the ‘King of Israel’! Let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
43 Li te mete konfyans li nan Bondye, li te di se pitit Bondye li ye. Ann wè koulye a si Bondye va vin delivre li.
He has trusted in God; if God wants him, let him deliver him now; for he said ‘I am God’s Son.’”
44 Ata ansasen ki te kloure sou lòt kwa yo t'ap joure l' menm jan an tou.
Even the robbers, who were crucified with him, reviled him in the same way.
45 Vè midi konsa, vin gen yon fènwa sou tout peyi a, jouk twazè apre midi.
After mid-day a darkness came over all the country, lasting till three in the afternoon.
46 Vè twazè, Jezi rele byen fò, li di: Eli, Eli lema sabaktani? (ki vle di: Bondye, Bondye, poukisa ou lage m' konsa?)
And about three Jesus called out loudly: “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabacthani” — that is to say, ‘O my God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?’
47 Nan moun ki te la yo genyen ki tande l' pale. Yo di: Men l'ap rele Eli.
Some of those standing by heard this, and said: “The man is calling for Elijah!”
48 Lamenm, yonn nan yo kouri al pran yon eponj, li tranpe l' nan venèg, li mete l' nan pwent yon gòl wozo, li lonje l' bò bouch Jezi ba l' bwè.
One of them immediately ran and took a sponge, and, filling it with common wine, put it on the end of a rod, and offered it to him to drink.
49 Men, lòt moun yo di: Tann non, monchè. Ann wè si Eli ap vin delivre li.
But the rest said: “Wait and let us see if Elijah is coming to save him.” [However another man took a spear, and pierced his side; and water and blood flowed from it.]
50 Jezi bay yon gwo rèl ankò, epi li mouri.
But Jesus, uttering another loud cry, gave up his spirit.
51 Menm lè a, rido ki te nan tanp lan chire an de moso, depi anwo jouk anba. Tè a tranble. Wòch yo fann.
Suddenly the Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, the rocks were torn asunder,
52 Tonm mò yo louvri, kò anpil moun pèp Bondye a ki te mouri leve vivan ankò, yo soti nan tonm yo.
the tombs opened, and the bodies of many of God’s People who had fallen asleep rose,
53 Apre Jezi li menm te leve soti vivan nan lanmò, yo antre lavil Jerizalèm kote anpil moun te wè yo.
and they, leaving their tombs, went, after the resurrection of Jesus, into the Holy City, and appeared to many people.
54 Lè ofisye lame a ansanm ak gad ki t'ap veye Jezi ansanm avè l' yo wè tranblemanntè a ak tou sa ki te pase, yon sèl lapè pran yo. Yo di: Se vre wi, nonm sa a te Pitit Bondye.
The Roman Captain, and the men with him who were watching Jesus, on seeing the earthquake and all that was happening, became greatly frightened and exclaimed: “This must indeed have been God’s Son!”
55 Te gen plizyè fanm la tou. Men, yo te rete lwen ap gade. Se moun ki t'ap swiv Jezi, ki t'ap okipe l' depi lè l' te nan peyi Galile.
There were many women there, watching from a distance, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had been attending on him.
56 Nan yo te genyen: Mari, moun lavil Magdala a, Mari, manman Jak ak Jozèf, ansanm ak manman pitit Zebede yo.
Among them were Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebediah’s sons.
57 Lè solèy fin kouche, yon nonm rich, moun lavil Arimate, vin rive. Yo te rele l' Jozèf. Li menm tou li te yon disip Jezi.
When evening had fallen, there came a rich man belonging to Ramah, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.
58 li al jwenn Pilat, li mande l' kò Jezi a. Pilat bay lòd pou yo renmèt li kò a.
He went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus; upon which Pilate ordered it to be given him.
59 Jozèf pran kò a, li vlope l' nan yon bèl dra blan tou nèf.
So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen sheet,
60 Apre sa, li mete kò a nan yon kavo li te fèk fè fouye nan wòch la pou tèt pa l'. Apre sa, li woule yon gwo wòch devan bouch kavo a. Epi li al fè wout li.
and laid it in his newly-made tomb which he had cut in the rock; and, before he left, he rolled a great stone against the entrance of the tomb.
61 Mari, moun lavil Magdala a, ansanm ak lòt Mari a te chita la, anfas kavo a.
Mary of Magdala and the other Mary remained behind, sitting in front of the grave.
62 Nan denmen, ki vle di jou repo a menm, chèf prèt yo ansanm ak farizyen yo ale bò kot Pilat.
The next day — that is, the day following the Preparation-Day — the Chief Priests and Pharisees came in a body to Pilate, and said:
63 Yo di li: Chèf, nou chonje lè nonm ki t'ap bay manti a te vivan, li te di apre twa jou li pral leve soti vivan.
“Sir, we remember that, during his lifetime, that impostor said ‘I shall rise after three days.’
64 Bay lòd pou yo veye kavo a byen veye pandan twa jou. Konsa, disip li yo p'ap kapab vin pran kò a pou yo di pèp la apre sa msye leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Dènye kout manti sa a ta pi rèd pase premye a.
So order the tomb to be made secure till the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal him, and then say to the people ‘He has risen from the dead,’ when the latest imposture will be worse than the first.”
65 Pilat di yo: Men yon eskwad gad. Ale, veye kavo a jan nou vle a.
“You may have a guard,” was Pilate’s reply; “go and make the tomb as secure as you can.”
66 Y ale. Pou yo pi asire kavo a te byen fèmen, yo poze sele sou wòch ki te devan bouch kavo a, epi yo mete eskwad gad la veye li.
So they went made the tomb secure, by sealing the stone, in presence of the guard.
