Jan 8
1 Men Jésus te ale nan Mòn Oliv la.
Jesus went to the mount of Olives:
2 Gran maten a Li te vini ankò nan tanp lan, e tout pèp la t ap vin kote Li. E Li te chita, pou kòmanse enstwi yo.
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.
3 Skrib yo ak Farizyen yo te mennen yon fanm ki te kenbe nan adiltè e te fè l chita nan mitan yo.
And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery: and when they had set her in the midst,
4 Yo te di Li: “Mèt, fanm sa te kenbe nan adiltè, nan zak la menm.
They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Epi nan Lalwa Moïse la, li te kòmande nou pou nou te lapide yon fanm konsa ak wòch. Kisa ou menm di?”
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned; but what sayest thou?
6 Yo t ap di sa pou yo ta kapab sonde l pou yo ta twouve mwayen pou akize Li. Men Jésus te bese, e te ekri atè a avèk dwat Li.
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard them not].
7 Men lè yo te pèsiste avèk demann sa a, Li te leve dwat epi te reponn yo: “Sila a ki pa gen peche pami nou, kite l se premye moun pou voye yon wòch sou li.”
So when they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 Ankò Li te bese e te kòmanse ekri atè a.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 Lè yo tande sa, yo te kòmanse kite kote a youn pa youn. Sa te kòmanse avèk pi granmoun pami yo. Konsa, yo te kite Li la pou kont Li avèk fanm nan ki te rete menm kote li te ye a nan mitan lakou a.
And they who heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 Jésus te leve, e te di li: “Fanm, kote yo ye? Nanpwen youn ki kondane ou?”
When Jesus had raised himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those thy accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 Li te di: “Pa youn, Senyè.” Jésus te di “Ni Mwen menm, mwen pa kondane ou nonplis. Ale, epi depi koulye a, pa peche ankò.”
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Ankò Jésus te pale avèk yo e te di: “Mwen se limyè a lemonn. Sila a ki swiv Mwen p ap mache nan tenèb, men l ap gen limyè lavi a.”
Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 Pou sa, Farizyen yo te di Li: “Ou fè temwayaj pwòp tèt ou. Konsa temwayaj Ou pa vrè.”
The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testifiest concerning thyself; thy testimony is not true.
14 Jésus te reponn e te di yo: “Menmsi Mwen pote pwòp temwayaj pa M, temwayaj Mwen vrè, paske Mwen konnen kote Mwen sòti, e kote M ap prale, men nou pa konnen kote Mwen sòti, ni kote M ap prale.
Jesus answered and said to them, Though I testify concerning myself, [yet] my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15 “Nou menm nou jije pa lachè, men Mwen p ap jije pèsòn.
Ye judge after the flesh, I judge no man.
16 Men menmsi Mwen jije, jijman Mwen vrè, paske Mwen pa sèl, men Mwen avèk Li menm ki te voye M nan.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 “Menm nan lalwa pa w la Li te ekri ke temwayaj a de moun vrè.
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Mwen se Sila ki pote temwayaj pou pwòp tèt Mwen menm, e anplis, Papa a ki te voye M nan pote temwayaj sou Mwen.”
I am one that testifieth concerning myself; and the Father that sent me, testifieth concerning me.
19 Pou sa yo te di Li: “Kote Papa ou?” Jésus te reponn yo: “Nou pa konnen ni Mwen, ni Papa M. Si nou te konnen Mwen, nou ta konnen Papa M tou.”
Then said they to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.
20 Pawòl sa yo Li te pale nan trezò a, pandan Li t ap enstwi nan tanp lan. Men pèsòn pa t sezi Li, paske lè Li poko te rive.
These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, for his hour was not yet come.
21 Li te di yo ankò: “M ap prale, e nou va chache M, e va mouri nan peche nou. Kote M ap prale, nou p ap kab vini.”
Then said Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Pou sa, Jwif yo t ap di: “Asireman Li p ap vin touye tèt Li. Konsi l ap di ‘Kote m ap prale, nou p ap kab vini?’”
Then said the Jews, will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 Li t ap di yo: “Nou sòti pa anba, men Mwen sòti pa anwo. Nou a lemonn sila a; Mwen pa a lemonn sila a.
And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Pou sa, Mwen te di nou ke nou tout va mouri nan peche nou yo. Paske anmwenske nou kwè ke Mwen menm se Sila a, nou va mouri nan peche nou yo.”
I said therefore to you, that ye will die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye will die in your sins.
25 Epi yo t ap di Li: “Ki moun Ou ye?” Epi Jésus te di yo “Menm sa a Mwen t ap di nou depi kòmansman.
Then said they to him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith to them, Even [the same] that I said to you from the beginning.
26 Mwen gen anpil bagay pou pale e pou jije konsènan nou. Sinon, Li menm ki te voye M nan vrè. E bagay ke M te tande de Li yo, sa yo Mwen pale a lemonn.”
I have many things to say, and to judge of you: but he that sent me, is true: and I speak to the world those things which I have heard from him.
27 Yo pa t konprann ke Li t ap pale avèk yo konsènan Papa a.
They understood not that he spoke to them concerning the Father.
28 Pou sa, Jésus te di yo: “Lè nou leve Fis a Lòm nan, nou va konnen ke Mwen menm se Li menm, e ke M pa fè anyen pou kont Mwen, men Mwen pale bagay sa yo tankou Papa a te enstwi Mwen.
Then said Jesus to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29 E Li ki te voye M nan avèk Mwen. Li pa t kite M pou kont Mwen, paske Mwen toujou fè bagay ki fè L kontan.”
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 Pandan Li t ap pale, anpil moun te vin kwè nan Li.
As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
31 Konsa, Jésus t ap pale avèk Jwif yo ki te kwè nan Li, “Si nou kontinye nan Pawòl Mwen, anverite, nou se disip Mwen.
Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye continue in my word, ye are my disciples indeed;
32 E nou va konnen laverite a, e verite a va fè nou lib.”
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 Yo te reponn Li: “Nou se pitit Abraham. Nou pa t janm esklav a pèsòn. Kijan ou kapab di ‘nou va vin lib?’”
They answered him, We are Abraham's offspring, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jésus te reponn yo “Anverite, anverite, Mwen di nou, tout moun ki fè peche se esklav a peche a.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Whoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever, [but] the Son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Se pou sa, si Fis la fè nou lib, nou ap vrèman lib.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 “Mwen konnen ke nou se pitit Abraham, men nou ap chache touye M, paske pawòl Mwen pa gen plas nan nou.
I know that ye are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 Mwen pale bagay ke M gen tan wè avèk Papa M. E nou menm tou fè bagay ke nou te tande de papa pa nou.”
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 Yo te reponn Li e te di: “Abraham se Papa nou”. Jésus te di yo: “Si nou se pitit Abraham, fè zèv Abraham yo.
They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 Men jan li ye a, nou ap chache pou touye M, yon nonm ki di nou laverite ke M te tande depi nan Bondye. “Sila a, Abraham pa t janm fè.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
41 Nou ap fè pwòp zèv papa nou.” Yo te di Li: “Nou pa t fèt kon pitit deyò. Nou gen yon sèl papa, Bondye.”
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.
42 Jésus te di yo: “Si Bondye te Papa nou, nou ta renmen M, paske Mwen sòti nan Li, e se nan Li ke M vini. Mwen pa vini pou kont Mwen, men se Li ki voye M.
Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 “Poukisa nou pa konprann sa ke M ap di a? Se paske nou pa kapab tande pawòl Mwen.
Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word.
44 “Nou se pitit a papa nou, dyab la. Epi nou vle fè volonte a papa nou. Li te yon asasen depi nan kòmansman, e li pa kanpe nan verite a, paske nanpwen verite nan li. Lè li manti, li manti pou kont li, paske se yon mantè li ye, epi papa a tout manti.
Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 “Men akoz ke Mwen pale laverite, nou pa kwè M.
And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Kilès nan nou ki gen prèv ke M peche? Si Mwen pale laverite, poukisa nou pa kwè M?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 “Sila ki se pou Bondye, tande pawòl a Bondye. Men nou pa tande, paske nou pa pou Bondye.”
He that is of God, heareth God's words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
48 Jwif yo te reponn e te di Li: “Èske nou pa di vrèman ke Ou se yon Samariten epi ke Ou gen yon move lespri?”
Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49 Jésus te reponn: “Mwen pa gen yon move lespri. Men Mwen onore Papa M, e nou dezonore M.
Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
50 Men Mwen pa chache glwa pa M. Men gen youn ki chache, epi ki jije.
And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 “Anverite, anverite Mwen di nou, si nenpòt moun kenbe pawòl Mwen, li p ap janm wè lanmò.” (aiōn g165)
Verily, verily, I say to you, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Jwif yo te di Li: “Koulye a nou konnen ke Ou gen yon move lespri. Abraham te mouri, e pwofèt yo osi. Men Ou di: ‘Si nenpòt moun kenbe pawòl Mwen, li p ap janm wè lanmò.’ (aiōn g165)
Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never taste death. (aiōn g165)
53 Anverite Ou pa pi gran pase Papa zansèt nou, Abraham ki te mouri an? Pwofèt yo te mouri tou. Ki moun menm Ou fè pretansyon ke Ou ye?”
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jésus te reponn yo: “Si Mwen bay glwa a Mwen menm, glwa sa a pa anyen. Se Papa M ki fè M resevwa glwa. De kilès ke ou di M: ‘Li se Bondye Nou.’
Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honoreth me, of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 “Nou poko vin rekonèt Li, men Mwen menm, mwen konnen Li. Si Mwen di ke M pa konnen L, Mwen ta yon mantè tankou nou menm, men Mwen vrèman konnen Li, e kenbe pawòl Li.
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar like you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 “Papa zansèt nou, Abraham te rejwi pou wè jou sa a, e Li te wè l, e te ranpli avèk jwa.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
57 Pou sa, Jwif yo te di L: “Ou poko gen senkant ane, e Ou te gen tan wè Abraham?”
Then said the Jews to him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jésus te di yo “Anverite, avan Abraham te la, Mwen se.”
Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Konsa, yo pran wòch pou lapide Li, men Li te kache kò Li, e te kite tanp la.
Then they took up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
