Jan 11
1 Alò, yon sèten mesye te malad. Lazare a Béthanie, vilaj kote Marie ak sè li Marthe te rete a.
Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 Se te sè Lazare, Marie ki te onksyone Senyè a avèk lwil chè a, epi te siye pye Li avèk cheve li. Se frè li, Lazare, ki te malad.
It was Mary who anointed the Lord with myrrh and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Konsa, sè yo te voye kote Li pou di L: “Senyè, sila ke ou renmen an malad.”
The sisters then sent for Jesus, saying, “Lord, see, he whom you love is sick.”
4 Men lè Jésus te tande sa, Li te di: “Maladi sa a se pa a lanmò, men pou glwa Bondye, pou Fis a Lòm nan kapab resevwa glwa de li.”
When Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but instead it is for the glory of God so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”
5 Konsa, Jésus te renmen Marthe ak sè li, ak Lazare.
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 Pou sa, lè L tande ke Li te malad, Li te rete de jou anplis nan plas kote Li te ye a.
So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, Jesus stayed two more days in the place where he was.
7 Apre sa, Li te di a disip Li yo: “Annou ale nan Judée ankò.”
Then after this, he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 Disip Li yo te di Li: “Rabbi, fenk koulye a Jwif yo t ap eseye lapide Ou, epi W ap prale la ankò?”
The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, right now the Jews are trying to stone you, and you are going back there again?”
9 Jésus te reponn yo: “Èske pa gen douz è de tan nan yon jounen? Si yon moun mache nan lajounen a li p ap chape tonbe, paske li wè limyè a mond sila a.
Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of light in a day? If someone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.
10 Men si yon moun mache lannwit, l ap tonbe, paske limyè a pa nan li.”
However, if he walks at night, he will stumble because the light is not in him.”
11 Sa, Li te di, epi apre sa, Li te di yo: “Zanmi nou Lazare gen tan tonbe nan dòmi. Men m ap prale pou M ka fè l leve nan dòmi.”
He said these things, and after these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may wake him out of sleep.”
12 Konsa, disip Li yo te di L: “Senyè, si li tonbe nan dòmi, l ap refè.”
The disciples therefore said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Alò Jésus t ap pale de lanmò Li, men yo te konprann ke Li t ap pale de yon vrè dòmi.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he was speaking about the sleep of resting.
14 Pou sa, Jésus te di yo byen klè: “Lazare gen tan mouri,
Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
15 e pou koz pa nou, Mwen kontan ke M pa t la pou nou kapab kwè. Annou ale kote l.”
I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there so that you may believe. Let us go to him.”
16 Pou sa, Thomas, ke yo rele osi Didyme, te di disip parèy li yo: “Annou ale avèk Li pou nou kapab mouri avè L.”
Thomas, who was called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go so that we may die with Jesus.”
17 Konsa, lè Jésus te vini, Li te twouve ke Li te deja nan tonm nan depi kat jou.
When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
18 Béthanie te prè Jérusalem. Anviwon twa kilomèt distans.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 Anpil nan Jwif yo te deja vin kote Marthe ak Marie pou konsole yo konsènan frè yo.
Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them about their brother.
20 Pou sa, lè Marthe te tande ke Jésus t ap vini, li te ale rankontre Li. Men Marie te toujou chita nan kay la.
Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
21 Konsa, Marthe te di a Jésus: “Senyè, si Ou te la, frè m nan pa t ap mouri.
Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Menm koulye a, mwen konnen ke nenpòt bagay ke Ou mande Bondye, Bondye ap bay Ou li.”
Even now, I know that whatever you ask from God, he will give to you.”
23 Jésus te di li: “Frè ou ap leve ankò.”
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Marthe te reponn Li: “Mwen konnen ke li ap leve ankò nan rezirèksyon an nan dènye jou a.”
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
25 Jésus te reponn Li: “Mwen se rezirèksyon an ak lavi a. Moun ki kwè nan Mwen va viv, menm si li mouri.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, even if he dies, will live;
and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 Li te di Li: “Wi, Senyè, Mwen gen tan kwè ke Ou se Kris la, Fis a Bondye, menm Li menm ki vini nan mond lan.”
She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”
28 Lè li te di sa, li te ale, e te rele Marie, sè li, e te di l apa: “Mèt la rive, e L ap mande pou ou.”
When she had said this, she went away and called her sister Mary privately. She said, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
29 E lè li tande sa, li te leve vit, epi t ap vin kote Li.
When she heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
30 Jésus poko te rive nan bouk la, men te toujou nan plas kote Marthe te rankontre Li a.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still in the place where Martha had met him.
31 Jwif yo ki t ap konsole li nan kay la te wè l leve vit e sòti. Epi yo sipoze ke li t ap ale nan tonm nan pou kriye.
So when the Jews, who were with her in the house and who were comforting her, saw Mary getting up quickly and going out, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Konsa, lè Marie te vini kote Jésus, li te tonbe nan pye Li, e te di L: “Senyè, si Ou te isit la, frè m nan pa t ap mouri.”
When Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 Konsa, lè Jésus te wè l t ap kriye, epi Jwif ki te avè l yo t ap kriye, Li te vrèman etone nan fon lespri Li, e te twouble.
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and was troubled;
34 Li te di: “Kibò nou mete Li?” Yo te di Li: “Senyè, vin wè.”
he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jésus te kriye.
Jesus wept.
36 E Jwif yo t ap di: “Gade kijan Li te renmen l.”
Then the Jews said, “See how much he loved Lazarus!”
37 Men kèk nan yo te di: “Èske nonm sila a ki te louvri zye a sa ki te avèg la, pa t kab anpeche moun sa a mouri osi?”
But some of them said, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of a blind man, also have made this man not die?”
38 Pou sa, Jésus, ankò, etone byen fon nan lespri li, te vin bò kote tonm nan. Se te yon kav e yon wòch te apiye sou Li.
Then Jesus again, being deeply moved in himself, went to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jésus te di: “Retire wòch la.” Marthe, sè mò a te di Li: “Senyè, pou lè sa, li va santi. Li la depi kat jou.”
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of Lazarus, the one who had died, said to Jesus, “Lord, by this time the body will be decaying, for he has been dead for four days.”
40 Jésus te di li: “Èske Mwen pa t di ou ke si Ou kwè, ou va wè glwa Bondye?”
Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that, if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
41 Epi konsa, yo te retire wòch la. Jésus te leve zye Li e te di: “Papa, Mwen remèsye Ou ke Ou tande M.
So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 Mwen te konnen ke Ou tande M tout tan, men akoz pèp la ki kanpe antoure M, Mwen te di sa, pou yo kapab kwè ke Ou te voye Mwen.”
I knew that you always listen to me, but it is because of the crowd that is standing around me that I said this, so that they may believe that you have sent me.”
43 Lè L fin te di bagay sa yo, Li te kriye avèk yon gwo vwa: “Lazare, sòti deyò.”
After he had said this, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 E sila ki te mouri an te sòti byen mare men ak pye yo avèk twal ki te vlope l, e yon twal ki te vlope figi li. Jésus te di yo: “Demare l epi lage l.”
The dead man came out; his feet and hands were bound with cloths, and his face was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.”
45 Pou sa, anpil nan sa ki te vin kote Marie yo, e ki te wè sa Li te fè a, te kwè nan Li.
Then many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.
46 Men kèk nan yo te ale nan Farizyen yo e te di yo sa ke Jésus te fè a.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.
47 Konsa, chèf prèt yo avèk Farizyen yo te konvoke yon gran konsèy. Yo t ap di: “Kisa n ap fè, pwiske nonm sila a ap fè anpil sign.”
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council together and said, “What will we do? This man does many signs.
48 “Si nou kite Li kontinye konsa, tout moun ap kwè nan Li, epi Women yo ap vin pran ni plas nou, ni nasyon nou.”
If we leave him alone like this, all will believe in him; the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49 Men youn nan yo, Caïphe, ki te granprèt pou lane sila a, te di yo: “Nou pa konnen anyen,
However, a certain man among them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing.
50 ni nou pa kontwole ke li ta meyè pou nou si yon moun ta mouri pou pèp la, pou tout nasyon an pa peri.”
You do not consider that it is better for you that one man dies for the people than that the whole nation perishes.”
51 Alò li pa t di sa pou kont li, men akoz ke li te wo prèt nan lane sa a, li t ap fè pwofesi ke Jésus t ap mouri pou nasyon an.
Now this he said not from himself. Instead, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
52 E pa sèlman pou nasyon sila a, men ke Li ta kab ranmase ansanm pou fè yon sèl, tout pitit Bondye ki te gaye a letranje yo.
and not only for the nation, but so that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered together into one.
53 Depi jou sa, yo t ap fè plan pou touye L.
So from that day onward they planned how to put Jesus to death.
54 Pou sa, Jésus pa t ankò mache an piblik pami Jwif yo, men te kite la pou ale nan peyi toupre dezè a, nan yon vil yo rele Éphraïm. Li te rete la avèk disip Li yo.
No longer did Jesus walk openly among the Jews, but he departed from there into the country near to the wilderness into a town called Ephraim. There he stayed with the disciples.
55 Alò, Pak Jwif la te pwòch, epi anpil te kite andwa andeyò yo pou monte nan Jérusalem, pou yo ta kab vin pirifye.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover in order to purify themselves.
56 Konsa, yo t ap di youn ak lòt pandan yo kanpe nan tanp lan: “Kisa nou panse. Èske Li p ap menm vini nan fèt la?”
They were looking for Jesus, and speaking one with another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the festival?”
57 Alò, chèf prèt yo ak Farizyen yo te bay lòd pou si nenpòt moun te konnen kote Li te ye, yo dwe bay rapò pou yo ta kab sezi L.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given an order that if anyone knew where Jesus was, he should report it so that they might seize him.
