Lik 8
1 Yon ti tan apre, Li te kòmanse ale de yon vil ak yon bouk a lòt, poupwoklame e preche wayòm syèl la. Douz yo te avèk Li.
And it happened afterwards that he was making a journey through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him,
2 Anplis te gen avèk yo kèk fanm ki te geri de move lespri yo ak maladi yo. Te gen Marie, ke yo te rele Magdala a, sou kilès sèt dyab yo te sòti a,
along with certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had departed,
3 avèk Jeanne, madanm Chouza a, entandan Hérode la, ak anpil lòt ki t ap kontribye a soutyen ki sòti nan mwayen pèsonèl yo.
and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many other women, who were ministering to him from their resources.
4 Lè yon gran foul t ap rasanble, e sila yo ki sòti nan plizyè vil t ap vwayaje rive kote Li, Li te pale nan yon parabòl:
Then, when a very numerous crowd was gathering together and hurrying from the cities to him, he spoke using a comparison:
5 “Semè a te sòti pou simen semans li; e pandan li t ap simen, kèk te tonbe akote wout la; epi yo te vin foule anba pye, e zwazo anlè yo te manje yo.
“The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell beside the way; and it was trampled and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 Lòt semans te tonbe nan tè plen wòch, e pandan yo t ap grandi, yo te fennen akoz ke li pa t gen dlo.
And some fell upon rock; and having sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Lòt semans te tonbe pami pikan; epi pikan yo te grandi avè l, e te trangle yo.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns, rising up with it, suffocated it.
8 Lòt semans te tonbe nan bon tè, te grandi, e te pwodwi yon rekòlt san fwa pi gran.” Pandan Li t ap di bagay sa yo, Li t ap rele fò: “Sila ki gen zòrèy pou tande, kite l tande.”
And some fell upon good soil; and having sprung up, it produced fruit one hundredfold.” As he said these things, he cried out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 Disip Li yo te kòmanse poze L kesyon sou sa ke parabòl sa a ta kapab vle di.
Then his disciples questioned him as to what this parable might mean.
10 Li te di: “A nou menm li pèmi pou konnen mistè a wayòm Bondye a, men pou lòt yo, li fèt an parabòl, dekwa ke nangade, yo vin pa wè, e nan tande, pou yo pa konprann.
And he said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to the rest, it is in parables, so that: seeing, they may not perceive, and hearing, they may not understand.
11 “Alò, parabòl la se sa: Semans lan se pawòl Bondye a.
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 “Sila yo akote wout la se sila yo ki te tande; epi dyab la vin rache pawòl la nan kè yo, pou yo pa kwè e vin sove.
And those beside the way are those who hear it, but then the devil comes and takes the word from their heart, lest by believing it they may be saved.
13 “Sila yo nan tè plen wòch la se sila yo ke lè yo tande, resevwa pawòl la avèk jwa, men yo pa gen rasin. Yo kwè pou yon tan, epi nan tan tantasyon, yo lage tonbe.
Now those upon rock are those who, when they hear it, accept the word with joy, but these have no roots. So they believe for a time, but in a time of testing, they fall away.
14 “Semans ki te tonbe pami pikan yo se sila yo ki te tande, epi pandan yo ap fè wout yo, yo vin trangle avèk pwoblèm pa yo ak richès a vi sa a. Konsa yo pa pote fwi ki vin mi.
And those which fell among thorns are those who have heard it, but as they go along, they are suffocated by the concerns and riches and pleasures of this life, and so they do not yield fruit.
15 “Semans nan bon tè a se sila yo ki te tande pawòl la avèk yon kè onèt e bon, e ki kenbe fèm, k ap pote fwi avèk pèseverans.
But those which were on good soil are those who, upon hearing the word with a good and noble heart, retain it, and they bring forth fruit in patience.
16 “Alò, pèsonn, lè l fin limen yon lanp pa kouvri li avèk yon veso, ni mete l anba yon kabann; men li mete li sou yon chandelye, pou sila yo ki antre kapab wè limyè a.
Now no one, lighting a candle, covers it with a container, or sets it under a bed. Instead, he places it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
17 Paske pa gen anyen kache ki p ap vin parèt, ni anyen an sekrè ki p ap revele pou vin nan limyè.
For there is nothing secret, which will not be made clear, nor is there anything hidden, which will not be known and be brought into plain sight.
18 “Pou sa, okipe nou de jan nou tande. Paske nenpòt moun ki genyen, se plis k ap bay a li menm; e a sila ki pa genyen an, menm sa li sipoze li genyen an va rache soti nan men li.”
Therefore, take care how you listen. For whoever has, it will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 Manman Li avèk frè L yo te vin kote L, e yo pa t kapab rive kote L akoz foul la.
Then his mother and brothers came to him; but they were not able to go to him because of the crowd.
20 Konsa moun yo te bay Li rapò a: “Manman Ou avèk frè Ou yo kanpe deyò a e vle wè Ou.”
And it was reported to him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 Men Li te reponn yo e te di yo: “Manman M avèk Papa M se sila yo ki tande pawòl Bondye a, e ki fè l.”
And in response, he said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 Nan youn nan jou sa yo, Li te monte avèk disip Li yo nan yon kannòt. Li te di yo: “Annou pase pa lòtbò lak la.” Yo te pati.
Now it happened, on a certain day, that he climbed into a little boat with his disciples. And he said to them, “Let us make a crossing over the lake.” And they embarked.
23 Men pandan yo t ap ale sou vwal a, Li te tonbe nan dòmi. Epi yon gwo van te vin desann sou lak la, e yo te kòmanse inonde e te vin an danje.
And as they were sailing, he slept. And a windstorm descended over the lake. And they were taking on water and were in danger.
24 Yo te vini a Jésus e yo te fè L leve. Yo te di: “Mèt, Mèt, n ap peri!” Lè L vin leve, Li te reprimande van an avèk gwo lam lanmè yo, e yo te sispann. Konsa, tan an te vin kalm.
Then, drawing near, they awakened him, saying, “Teacher, we are perishing.” But as he rose up, he rebuked the wind and the raging water, and they ceased. And a tranquility occurred.
25 Li te di yo: “Kote lafwa nou ye?” Yo te ranpli avèk lakrent. Yo te etone, e te di youn lòt: “Alò, kilès nonm sa ye ki kòmande menm van avèk dlo a, e yo obeyi a?”
Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they, being afraid, were amazed, saying to one another, “Who do you think this is, so that he commands both wind and sea, and they obey him?”
26 Yo te kouri a vwal jouk lè yo rive nan peyi a Jerazenyen yo ki anfas Galilée.
And they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 Lè Li te desann atè, Li te rankontre pa yon sèten mesye nan vil la, ki te domine pa dyab. Li pa t konn mete rad depi lontan, e li pa t viv nan kay, men nan tonbo.
And when he had gone out to the land, a certain man met him, who had now had a demon for a long time. And he did not wear clothes, nor did he stay in a house, but among the sepulchers.
28 Lè l wè Jésus, li te kriye fò e te tonbe devan Li. Li te di ak yon gwo vwa: “Kisa m gen avè ou Jésus, Fis a Pi Wo Bondye a? Mwen sipliye ou, pa toumante mwen.”
And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out in a loud voice, he said: “What is there between me and you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me.”
29 Paske Li te kòmande lespri enpi a pou sòti nan mesye a. Paske li te konn sezi li anpil fwa; e li te mare avèk chenn avèk fè nan pye li, e Li te kenbe anba gad. Li te konn pete tout kontrent sa yo pou dyab yo ta pouse l nan dezè a.
For he was ordering the unclean spirit to depart from the man. For on many occasions, it would seize him, and he was bound with chains and held by fetters. But breaking the chains, he was driven by the demon into deserted places.
30 Jésus te mande li: “Kòman yo rele ou?” E li te di: “Lejyon”, paske anpil dyab te gen tan antre nan li.
Then Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him.
And they petitioned him not to order them to go into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Alò te gen yon gwo bann kochon ki t ap manje la nan mòn nan, e dyab yo te sipliye Li pou kite yo antre nan kochon yo. Konsa, Li te bay yo pèmisyon.
And in that place, there was a herd of many swine, pasturing on the mountain. And they petitioned him to permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them.
33 Dyab yo te sòti nan mesye a, e te antre nan kochon yo, bann nan te kouri desann pant falèz la, tonbe nan lak la, e te mouri nan dlo a.
Therefore, the demons departed from the man, and they entered into the swine. And the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the lake, and they were drowned.
34 Lè gadyen kochon yo te wè sa ki rive a, yo te kouri ale bay rapò a nan vil la avèk tout landwa andeyò yo.
And when those who were pasturing them had seen this, they fled and reported it in the city and the villages.
35 Pèp la te sòti vin wè sa ki te rive a, e yo te vin kote Jésus. Yo te twouve nonm ki te konn gen dyab la. Li te chita nan pye Jésus, byen abiye, e nan bon tèt li. Yo te vin pè.
Then they went out to see what was happening, and they came to Jesus. And they found the man, from whom the demons had departed, sitting at his feet, clothed as well as in a sane mind, and they were afraid.
36 Sila yo ki te wè sa, te eksplike yo kijan nonm nan ki te posede pa dyab yo, te vin geri.
Then those who had seen this also reported to them how he had been healed from the legion.
37 Tout pèp Jerazenyen yo an ak landwa andeyò yo te mande pou L ta kite yo paske yo te ranpli avèk yon gwo perèz. Li te antre nan kannòt la, e te pati.
And the entire multitude from the region of the Gerasenes pleaded with him to depart from them. For they were seized by a great fear. Then, climbing into the boat, he went back again.
38 Men mesye a ke dyab yo te kite a te sipliye L pou L ta kapab ale avèk li, men Li te voye li ale e te di:
And the man from whom the demons had departed pleaded with him, so that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 “Retounen lakay ou pou eksplike yo ki gwo bagay ke Bondye te fè pou ou.” Donk li te ale, e te pwoklame toupatou nan tout vil la ki gwo bagay Bondye te fè pou li.
“Return to your house and explain to them what great things God has done for you.” And he traveled through the entire city, preaching about the great things that Jesus had done for him.
40 Lè Jésus te retounen, foul la te resevwa L byen, paske yo tout t ap tann Li.
Now it happened that, when Jesus had returned, the crowd received him. For they were all waiting for him.
41 Konsa, te vini yon nonm ki te rele Jaïrus ki te yon ofisye sinagòg la. Li te tonbe nan pye a Jésus e te kòmanse sipliye Li pou te vini lakay li;
And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was a leader of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus, asking him to enter into his house.
42 paske li te gen yon sèl fi, anviwon laj a douz lane, e li te mouri. Men pandan Li t ap ale, foul la t ap peze Li.
For he had an only daughter, nearly twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened that, as he was going there, he was hemmed in by the crowd.
43 Konsa, yon fanm, ki te koule san pou plis ke douz lane, men pa t kapab twouve gerizon pa okenn moun,
And there was a certain woman, with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had paid out all her substance on physicians, and she was unable to be cured by any of them.
44 te pwoche dèyè Li. Li te touche arebò vètman Li, e nan menm moman an, san an te rete.
She approached him from behind, and she touched the hem of his garment. And at once the flow of her blood stopped.
45 Jésus te di: “Kilès ki te touche Mwen an?” E pandan yo tout t ap demanti ke se pa yo, Pierre te di: “Mèt, foul la ap bourade ou e peze Ou.”
And Jesus said, “Who is it that touched me?” But as everyone was denying it, Peter, and those who were with him, said: “Teacher, the crowd hems you in and presses upon you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46 Men Jésus te di: “Yon moun vrèman te touche M, paske Mwen te konnen lèpouvwa a te kite M nan.”
And Jesus said: “Someone has touched me. For I know that power has gone out from me.”
47 Lè fanm nan te wè ke li t ap dekouvri, li te vini byen tranble, e te tonbe devan Li. Li te deklare nan prezans a tout moun poukisa li te touche L la ak jan li te vin geri nan menm enstan.
Then the woman, upon seeing that she was not hidden, came forward, trembling, and she fell down before his feet. And she declared before all the people the reason that she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
48 Jésus te di li: “Fi Mwen, lafwa ou te fè ou geri; ale anpè.”
But he said to her: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
49 Pandan Li te toujou ap pale, yon moun te soti lakayofisye sinagòg la, e te di: “Pitit ou a gen tan mouri. Pa twouble Mèt la ankò.”
While he was still speaking, someone came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble him.”
50 Men lè Jésus te tande sa, Li te reponn li: “Pa pè; sèlman kwè, e li va geri.”
Then Jesus, upon hearing this word, replied to the father of the girl: “Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be saved.”
51 Lè Li te rive nan kay la, Li pa t kite okenn lòt moun antre avè L, sof ke Pierre avèk Jean ak Jacques, epi manman ak papa pitit la.
And when he had arrived at the house, he would not permit anyone to enter with him, except Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the girl.
52 Alò yo tout t ap kriye, e t ap lamante pou li; men Li te di: “Sispann kriye, paske li pa mouri, men l ap dòmi.”
Now all were weeping and mourning for her. But he said: “Do not weep. The girl is not dead, but only sleeping.”
53 Yo te kòmanse ap ri sou Li, paske yo te konnen ke li te mouri.
And they derided him, knowing that she had died.
54 Men Li menm te pran li pa lamen, Li te rele e te di: “Pitit, leve!”
But he, taking her by the hand, cried out, saying, “Little girl, arise.”
55 Konsa, lespri lavi li te retounen, e li te leve imedyatman. Li te bay lòd pou yo bay li yon bagay pou l manje.
And her spirit returned, and she immediately rose up. And he ordered them to give her something to eat.
56 Paran li yo te etone, men Li te enstwi yo pou pa pale pèsonn sa ki te rive a.
And her parents were stupefied. And he instructed them not to tell anyone what had happened.
