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 afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve,
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 healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was 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.
and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who served them from their possessions.
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:
When a great multitude came together and people from every city were coming 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.
“The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, 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 the rock, and as soon as it grew, 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 fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew 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.”
Other fell into the good ground and grew and produced one hundred times as much fruit.” As he said these things, 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 is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘seeing they may not see, 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.
Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes 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 rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
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.
What fell amongst the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life; and they bring no fruit to maturity.
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.
Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.
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, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter 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 hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret 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.”
Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
19 Manman Li avèk frè L yo te vin kote L, e yo pa t kapab rive kote L akoz foul la.
His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
20 Konsa moun yo te bay Li rapò a: “Manman Ou avèk frè Ou yo kanpe deyò a e vle wè Ou.”
Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring 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.”
But he answered 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 on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched 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.
But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
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.
They came to him and awoke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are dying!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; then they ceased, and it 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?”
He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid, they marvelled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, 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 arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, 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.
When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live 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.”
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t 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 was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30 Jésus te mande li: “Kòman yo rele ou?” E li te di: “Lejyon”, paske anpil dyab te gen tan antre nan li.
Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
They begged him that he would not command 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.
Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. Then he allowed 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.
The demons came out of the man and entered 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 fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it 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.
People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and 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 saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
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.
All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. Then he entered into the 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:
But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might 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 your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout 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.
When Jesus returned, 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;
Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged 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 born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
43 Konsa, yon fanm, ki te koule san pou plis ke douz lane, men pa t kapab twouve gerizon pa okenn moun,
A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any,
44 te pwoche dèyè Li. Li te touche arebò vètman Li, e nan menm moman an, san an te rete.
came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately 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.”
Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and 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.”
But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of 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 was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Jésus te di li: “Fi Mwen, lafwa ou te fè ou geri; ale anpè.”
He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you 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 still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.”
50 Men lè Jésus te tande sa, Li te reponn li: “Pa pè; sèlman kwè, e li va geri.”
But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only 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, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her 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.”
All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”
53 Yo te kòmanse ap ri sou Li, paske yo te konnen ke li te mouri.
They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Men Li menm te pran li pa lamen, Li te rele e te di: “Pitit, leve!”
But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “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 rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her 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 commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
