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.
Soon afterward Jesus was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. 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,
as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 avèk Jeanne, madanm Chouza a, entandan Hérode la, ak anpil lòt ki t ap kontribye a soutyen ki sòti nan mwayen pèsonèl yo.
Joanna the wife of Chuza (Herod's steward), Susanna, and many others. These women provided for Jesus and his disciples out of their own 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:
As a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he said in 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 out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some seed fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky 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.
Other seed fell on rock, and as it grew 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.
Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked 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.”
But other seed fell into good soil, and when it grew, it produced a hundred times more than what was sown.” As he said this, he called out, “He who 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 asked him, “What does this parable 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.
He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest I speak in parables, so that ‘they may see but not perceive, and hear but not understand.’
11 “Alò, parabòl la se sa: Semans lan se pawòl Bondye a.
“Now this is the meaning of the parable: 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.
The ones along the path are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so 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.
The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. Yet they have no root; they believe for a while, 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.
The seed that fell among the thorns are those who have heard, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
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 seed in the good soil are those who hear the word, hold fast to it with an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.
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.
“No one lights a lamp and covers it with a container or puts it under a bed. Instead, it is put on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see its 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 hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything hidden away that will not be made 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.”
Therefore consider how you hear, for whoever has will be given more, but 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 Jesus' mother and brothers came to him, but they were not able to reach 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.”
So some people told him, “Yoʋr mother and yoʋr brothers are standing outside, wanting to see yoʋ.”
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.”
But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and obey 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.
One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they set out,
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 along, he fell asleep. Then a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were in danger as the boat was being swamped by the waves.
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.
So they came to Jesus and woke him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then he rose and rebuked the wind and the raging water. They ceased, and all was 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?”
Then he said to his disciples, “Where is your faith?” But they were afraid and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands 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.
Then they sailed to the region of the Gadarenes, which is across the lake from 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.
When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a man from the city who had been possessed by demons for a long time. This man did not wear clothes or live in a house but among 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.”
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, “What do yoʋ have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg yoʋ, 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 Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and he would be bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, but he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into desolate places.
30 Jésus te mande li: “Kòman yo rele ou?” E li te di: “Lejyon”, paske anpil dyab te gen tan antre nan li.
Jesus then asked him, “What is yoʋr name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him.
And he begged Jesus 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 a herd of many pigs feeding there on the mountain. The demons begged Jesus to permit them to enter the pigs. So he gave them permission.
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.
Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank 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.
When those who had been feeding the pigs saw what happened, they ran off and reported it in the city and in the countryside.
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.
So the people came out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right 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.
Those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been delivered.
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.
Then the entire multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and left.
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:
Now the man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go 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 yoʋr house, and declare all that God has done for yoʋ.” So the man went away, proclaiming throughout the entire city all 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 when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they had all been 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, there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to 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.
because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As Jesus went on his way, the crowds were pressing in on him.
43 Konsa, yon fanm, ki te koule san pou plis ke douz lane, men pa t kapab twouve gerizon pa okenn moun,
Now there was a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, and even though she had spent her entire livelihood on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone.
44 te pwoche dèyè Li. Li te touche arebò vètman Li, e nan menm moman an, san an te rete.
She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his garment, and the flow of her blood stopped at once.
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.”
Then Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone denied it, Peter and those who were with him said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding yoʋ and pressing against yoʋ, and yet yoʋ 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.”
But Jesus said, “Someone 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.
When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him, and in the presence of all the people she told him the reason why she had touched him, and how she had been healed at once.
48 Jésus te di li: “Fi Mwen, lafwa ou te fè ou geri; ale anpè.”
Then Jesus said to her, “Take courage, daughter; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ. 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 from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said to him, “Yoʋr daughter has died; do not trouble the teacher.”
50 Men lè Jésus te tande sa, Li te reponn li: “Pa pè; sèlman kwè, e li va geri.”
But when Jesus heard this, he said to him in response, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
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.
When he came to the house, Jesus allowed no one to go in, except Peter, John, James, and the child's father and 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.”
Meanwhile, all the people were weeping and mourning for her, but Jesus said, “Do not weep; she is not dead but sleeping.”
53 Yo te kòmanse ap ri sou Li, paske yo te konnen ke li te mouri.
And they began laughing at him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Men Li menm te pran li pa lamen, Li te rele e te di: “Pitit, leve!”
But Jesus put them all outside, took hold of the girl's hand, and called out, “Child, 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.
Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he told 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.
Her parents were amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
