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 came to pass afterward, that he journeyed through cities and villages, preaching and publishing the glad tidings of 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,
and certain women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,
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 Chuzas, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who afforded them aid from their substance.
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:
And a great multitude collecting together, and people from the cities going out to him, he spoke by a parable:
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.
A sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way-side; and they were trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured them.
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 others fell upon rocky ground; and when they had sprung up they withered away, because they had no moisture.
7 Lòt semans te tonbe pami pikan; epi pikan yo te grandi avè l, e te trangle yo.
And others fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up with them, and choked them.
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 others fell upon good ground, and sprung up, and bore fruit, a hundred-fold. While saying these things, he cried aloud, He that hath 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.
And his disciples asked him what this parable meant.
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 you it hath been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others [[these things are spoken]] in parables; that while seeing they may not see, and while hearing they may not understand.
11 “Alò, parabòl la se sa: Semans lan se pawòl Bondye a.
Now the meaning of 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.
Those by the way-side are they that hear; then cometh the Devil and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and 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.
Those on the rocky ground are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root; and for a while they believe, and in time of temptation 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 seeds which fell among the thorns, these are they who, when they have heard, go away and are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
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 the seeds on the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, when they have heard the word, hold it fast, and bear fruit with constancy.
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.
And no one having lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a lampstand, that those who come in 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 nothing is secret, that will not be made manifest; nor hidden, that will not be known, and come to light.
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.”
Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whoever hath, to him will be given; and whoever hath not, from him will be taken even what he seemeth to have.
19 Manman Li avèk frè L yo te vin kote L, e yo pa t kapab rive kote L akoz foul la.
And his mother and his brothers came where he was, and could not get to him on account 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 word was brought to him, Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee.
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 he answering said to them, My mother and my brothers are these, 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 came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a boat with his disciples, and said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake; and they put off.
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.
But as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.
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.
And they came and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing! And he rose, and rebuked the wind, and the surging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.
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?”
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they were afraid, and wondered, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, 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 country of the Gergesenes, which is over against 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 landed, there met him a certain man out of the city who had demons, and for a long time had worn no clothes, and abode not in a house, but in the tombs.
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 seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment 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 about to command the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for it had possessed him for a long time, and he had been kept bound and secured with chains and fetters; and bursting the bands, he had been driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30 Jésus te mande li: “Kòman yo rele ou?” E li te di: “Lejyon”, paske anpil dyab te gen tan antre nan li.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; because many demons had entered into him.
And they besought him not to command them to go away 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.
Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him to permit them to go 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.
And the demons coming out of the man went into the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and 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 the herdsmen, seeing what was done, fled, and told the news in the city and in the country.
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.
And they went out to see what had been done. And they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus; 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.
And they who had seen it told them how he that was possessed by demons was made well.
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 whole multitude in the surrounding country of the Gergesenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he went on board a boat and returned.
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 out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he 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 thy house, and tell what great things God hath done for thee. And he went and published through the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40 Lè Jésus te retounen, foul la te resevwa L byen, paske yo tout t ap tann Li.
And it came to pass when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed 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 lo! there came a man, named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he besought him to come 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, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitudes thronged him.
43 Konsa, yon fanm, ki te koule san pou plis ke douz lane, men pa t kapab twouve gerizon pa okenn moun,
And a woman who had had an issue of blood twelve years, and had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be cured by any one,
44 te pwoche dèyè Li. Li te touche arebò vètman Li, e nan menm moman an, san an te rete.
came up behind and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her issue of blood ceased.
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 touched me? And when all denied it, Peter and those with him said, Master, the multitudes are thronging thee, and pressing against thee.
46 Men Jésus te di: “Yon moun vrèman te touche M, paske Mwen te konnen lèpouvwa a te kite M nan.”
But Jesus said, Some one touched me; for I perceived that power went 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.
And the woman, seeing that she was discovered, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was cured immediately.
48 Jésus te di li: “Fi Mwen, lafwa ou te fè ou geri; ale anpè.”
And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; 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 yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher any further.
50 Men lè Jésus te tande sa, Li te reponn li: “Pa pè; sèlman kwè, e li va geri.”
But Jesus hearing this, answered him, Fear not; only believe, and she will be made well.
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 going into the house, he suffered no one to go in with him but Peter and John and James, and the father of the maiden, and the mother.
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.”
And all were weeping, and lamenting for her. But he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeping.
53 Yo te kòmanse ap ri sou Li, paske yo te konnen ke li te mouri.
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 Men Li menm te pran li pa lamen, Li te rele e te di: “Pitit, leve!”
But he took hold of her hand, and called aloud, saying, Maiden, 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 arose. And he ordered food to be given to her.
56 Paran li yo te etone, men Li te enstwi yo pou pa pale pèsonn sa ki te rive a.
And her parents were amazed. But he charged them to tell no one what had been done.
