Lik 9
1 Li te rele douz yo ansanm, e te bay yo pouvwa avèk otorite sou tout dyab, e pou geri maladi.
Jesus called the Twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, as well as to cure diseases.
2 Li te voye yo ale pou pwoklame wayòm Bondye a, e pou geri maladi.
He sent them out as his Messengers, to proclaim the Kingdom of God, and to work cures.
3 Konsa, Li te di yo: “Pa pran anyen pou vwayaj nou, ni yon baton, ni yon sak, ni pen, ni lajan. Pa menm pote yon dezyèm vètman.
“Do not,” he said to them, “take anything for your journey; not even a staff, or a bag, or bread, or any silver, or a change of clothes with you.
4 Nan nenpòt kay ke nou antre, rete la jiskaske nou kite vil sa a.
Whatever house you go to stay in, remain there, and leave from that place.
5 Pou sila yo ki pa resevwa nou, lè n ap kite vil sa a, souke pousyè sòti nan pye nou kon yon temwayaj kont yo.”
If people do not welcome you, as you leave that town, shake even the dust off your feet, as a protest against them.”
6 Pandan yo t ap kite la, yo te kòmanse ale pami bouk yo, ap preche levanjil la, e te fè gerizon toupatou.
Then they set out and went from village to village, telling the Good News and curing people everywhere.
7 Alò, Hérode, tetrak la te tande tout sa ki t ap fèt yo. Konsa, li te gravman twouble, paske kèk moun te di ke se te Jean ki te leve soti nan lanmò.
Prince Herod heard of all that was happening, and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John must be risen from the dead.
8 Selon kèk lòt Élie ki vin parèt, oswa youn nan ansyen pwofèt yo te leve ankò.
Some again said that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the old Prophets had risen again.
9 Hérode te di: “Mwen menm te fè yo koupe tèt a Jean, men kilès nonm sa a ye, ke m tande tout koze sa yo?” Li te kontinye ap eseye pou l ta kab wè L.
But Herod himself said: “John I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things?” And he endeavoured to see him.
10 Lè apòt yo te retounen, yo te bay Jésus yon istwa de tout sa ki te rive a. Li te fè yo ale avè L, pou yo fè retrèt vè yon vilaj yo rele Betsaïda.
When the Apostles returned, they related to Jesus all that they had done. Then Jesus retired privately to a town called Bethsaida, taking the Apostles with him.
11 Men foul la te konnen sa. Yo te swiv Li, e Li te resevwa yo avèk kè ouvè. Li te kòmanse pale avèk yo sou wayòm syèl la, e te fè gerizon pou sila yo ki te bezwen geri.
But the people recognised him and followed him in crowds; and Jesus welcomed them and spoke to them about the Kingdom of God, while he cured those who were in need of help.
12 Alò jou a te kòmanse ap avanse, e douz yo te vin di Li: “Voye foul la ale pou yo kapab ale nan vilaj yo oswa andeyò pou yo twouve lojman. Konsa, yo ka jwenn yon bagay pou yo manje, paske nou isit la nan yon kote ki izole.”
The day was drawing to a close, when the twelve came up to him, and said: “Send the crowd away, so that they may make their way to the villages and farms round about, and find themselves lodgings and provisions, for we are in a lonely spot here.”
13 Men Li te di yo: “Nou menm bay yo manje!” Yo te reponn Li: “Nou pa gen plis ke senk pen avèk de pwason, sof ke petèt ke nou ta ale achte pen pou tout moun sa yo.”
But Jesus said: “It is for you to give them something to eat.” “We have not more than five loaves and two fishes,” they answered; “unless indeed we are to go and buy food for all these people.”
14 (Paske te gen anviwon senk-mil moun.) Li te di a disip Li yo: “Fè yo chita nan gwoup de senkant chak.”
(For the men among them were about five thousand.) “Get them seated in companies,” was his reply, “about fifty in each.”
15 Konsa yo te fè; yo te fè tout moun chita.
This they did, and got all the people seated.
16 Answit, Li te pran senk pen avèk de pwason yo. Li te gade vè syèl la, e Li te beni yo. Li te kase yo, e te lonje bay disip yo pou mete devan foul la.
Taking the five loaves and the two fishes, Jesus looked up to Heaven and said the blessing over them. Then he broke them in pieces, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people.
17 Yo te manje jis vant tout moun te plen. E mòso tou kase ke yo te ranmase yo te fè douz panyen byen ranpli.
Every one had sufficient to eat, and what was left of the broken pieces was picked up — twelve baskets.
18 Li te vin rive ke pandan Li t ap priye sèl, disip yo te toupre. Konsa, Li te poze yon kesyon. Li te mande: “Kilès moun pèp la di ke Mwen ye?”
Afterwards, when Jesus was alone, praying, his disciples joined him, and he asked them this question — “Who do the people say that I am?”
19 Yo te reponn Li, e te di: “Jean-Baptiste, oswa Eli; men lòt yo, youn nan ansyen pwofèt yo ki leve ankò.”
“John the Baptist,” was their answer; “others, however, say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the old Prophets has risen again.”
20 Li te mande yo: “Men kilès nou menm, nou di ke Mwen ye”? Pierre te reponn. Li te di: “Kris la a Bondye a.”
“But you,” he went on, “who do you say that I am?” And to this Peter answered: “The Christ of God.”
21 Men Li te avèti yo avèk severite pou yo pa pale sa a pèsonn.
Jesus, however, strictly charged them not to say this to any one;
22 Konsa Li te di: “Fis a Lòm nan va oblije soufri anpil bagay, e va rejte pa ansyen yo, ak chèf prèt yo, ak skrib yo. Li va vin touye, e va vin leve nan twazyèm jou a.”
he told them that the Son of Man must undergo much suffering, and be rejected by the Councillors, and Chief Priests, and Teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
23 Li t ap di a yo tout: “Si Nenpòt moun vle swiv Mwen, li dwe renonse a pwòp tèt li, pran kwa li e swiv Mwen.
And to all present he said: “If any man wishes to walk in my steps, let him renounce self, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 Paske Nenpòt moun ki vle sove vi li va pèdi li, men sila a ki pèdi lavi li pou koz Mwen, se li ki va sove li.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life — that man shall save it.
25 “Paske ki avantaj yon nonm gen si li vin genyen tou lemonn, e vinpèdi, pou peye kon pri a, pwòp nanm li?
What good does it do a man if, when he has gained the whole world, he has lost or forfeited himself?
26 “Paske Nenpòt moun ki wont Mwen, ak pawòl Mwen yo, a li menm, Fis a Lòm nan va wont lè Li vini nan glwa Li, ak glwa a Papa a, e glwa a zanj sen yo.
Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him, when he comes in his Glory and the Glory of the father and of the holy angels.
27 “Men Mwen di nou anverite, gen nan sila yo ki kanpe la a ki p ap goute lanmò jouk lè ke yo wè wayòm Bondye a.”
Indeed, I tell you, some who are standing before me will not know death, till they have seen the Kingdom of God.”
28 Anviwon uit jou aprè pawòl sa yo, Li te pran Pierre avèk Jean, avèk Jacques, e te monte nan mòn nan pou priye.
About eight days after speaking these words, Jesus went up the mountain to pray, taking with him Peter, John, and James.
29 Pandan Li t ap priye, aspè figi Li te vin chanje, e vètman Li te vin klere kon blan briyan.
As he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed, and his clothing became of a glittering whiteness.
30 Epi gade, de zòm t ap pale avèk Li. Se te Moïse avèk Elie,
And all at once two men were talking with Jesus; they were Moses and Elijah,
31 ki te vin parèt nan glwa, e t ap pale sou afè depa Li, ke Li te prèt pou acheve nan Jérusalem.
who appeared in a glorified state, and spoke of his departure, which was destined to take place at Jerusalem.
32 Alò, Pierre avèk lòt parèy li yo te vin lou ak dòmi. Men lè zye pa yo te vin ouvri, yo te wè glwa Li ak de zòm sa yo ki te kanpe avè L.
Peter and his companions had been overpowered by sleep but, suddenly becoming wide awake, they saw Jesus glorified and the two men who were standing beside him.
33 Konsa, Li te vin rive ke pandan sila yo t ap kite Li, Pierre te di a Jésus: “Mèt, li bon pou nou isit la. Annou fè twa tabènak; youn pou Ou, youn pou Moïse, e youn pou Elie.” Men li pa t fin konprann sa li t ap di a.
And, as Moses and Elijah were passing away from Jesus, Peter exclaimed: “Sir, it is good to be here; let us make three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He did not know what he was saying;
34 Pandan li t ap di sa, yon nyaj te fòme. Li te pase yon lonbraj sou yo, epi yo te krent lè yo te antre nan lonbraj la.
and, while he was speaking, a cloud came down and enveloped them; and they were afraid, as they passed into the cloud;
35 Answit yon vwa te sòti nan lonbraj la. Li te di: “Sa se fis byeneme Mwen an; koute Li!”
and from the cloud came a voice which said — “This is my Son, the Chosen One; him you must hear.”
36 Lè vwa a te pale, Jésus te twouve li sèl. Yo te rete an silans, e pa t di pèsonn sa ki te rive nan jou sa yo.
And, as the voice ceased, Jesus was found alone. The Apostles kept silence, and told no one about any of the things that they had seen.
37 Nan jou swivan an, lè yo te desann sòti nan mòn nan, yon gwo foul te rankontre Li.
The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met Jesus.
38 Konsa yon mesye nan foul la te rele fò: “Mèt, mwen sipliye ou pou gade wè fis mwen an, paske se li sèl gason ke m genyen.
And just then a man in the crowd shouted out: “Teacher, I entreat you to look at my son, for he is my only child;
39 Yon lespri konn sezi li. Li rele fò, lespri a jete li nan gwo kriz ki fè bouch li kimen, e pandan lespri a ap kite li, li kontinye maspinen l nèt jiskaske li ale.
all at once a spirit will seize him, suddenly shriek out, and throw him into convulsions till he foams, and will leave him only when he is utterly exhausted.
40 Mwen te sipliye disip ou yo pou chase l, men yo pa t kapab.”
I entreated your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they could not.”
41 Jésus te reponn: “O jenerasyon enkredil, e pèvès! Pou jis kilè M ap avèk nou, pou sipòte nou? Mennen pitit ou a isit la.”
“O faithless and perverse generation!” Jesus exclaimed; “how long must I be with you and have patience with you? Lead your son here.”
42 Pandan Li t ap pwoche, dyab la te voye l atè, e te jete l nan yon gwo kriz. Men Jésus te repwòche lespri enpi a; Li te geri gason an, e te remèt li bay papa l.
While the boy was coming up to Jesus, the demon dashed him down and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 Yo tout te etone akoz grandè Bondye. Men pandan tout t ap admire tout sa ke Li t ap fè, Li te di a disip Li yo:
And all present were struck with awe at the majesty of God. In the midst of the general astonishment at all that Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples:
44 “Kite pawòl sa yo penetre nan zòrèy nou; paske Fis a Lòm nan va livre nan men a lèzòm.”
“Listen carefully to my words. For the Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into the hands of his fellow men.”
45 Men yo pa t konprann pawòl sila a, e sans li te kache a yo menm pou yo pa t kab konprann li. Yo te pè kesyone L sou pawòl sa a.
But the disciples did not understand the meaning of this; it had been concealed from them so that they did not see it, and they were afraid to question him as to what he meant.
46 Konsa, yon gwo diskisyon te leve pami yo sou kilès nan yo ki ta pi gran.
A discussion arose among the disciples as to which of them was the greatest;
47 Men Jésus, byen okouran a sa yo t ap panse nan kè yo a, te pran yon timoun. Li te mete li kanpe akote Li.
and Jesus, knowing of the discussion that was occupying their thoughts, took hold of a little child, and placed it beside him,
48 Li te di yo: “Nenpòt moun ki resevwa timoun sa a nan non Mwen an resevwa Mwen; e nenpòt moun ki resevwa Mwen, resevwa Papa a, ki te voye Mwen an. Paske sila ki pi piti pami nou an, se li menm ki pi gran.”
and then said to them: “Any one who, for the sake of my Name, welcomes even this little child is welcoming me; and any one who welcomes me is welcoming him who sent me as his Messenger. For whoever is lowliest among you all — that man is great.”
49 Jean te reponn. Li te di: “Mèt, nou te wè yon moun ki t ap chase dyab nan non Ou, e nou te eseye anpeche li akoz ke li p ap swiv ak nou.”
Thereupon John said: “Sir, we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow you with us.”
50 Men Jésus te di l: “Pa anpeche lipaske sila ki pa kont nou an pou nou.”
“None of you must prevent him,” Jesus said to John; “he who is not against you is for you.”
51 Lè jou yo t ap pwoche pou L te leve, li te pran desizyon nèt pou ale Jérusalem.
As the days before his being taken up to Heaven were growing few, Jesus set his face resolutely in the direction of Jerusalem; and he sent on messengers in advance.
52 Li te voye mesaje yo devan Li. Konsa, yo te ale antre nan yon vil a Samariten yo, pou fè aranjman pou li.
On their way, they went into a Samaritan village to make preparations for him,
53 Men yo pa t resevwa Li akoz ke Li t ap vwayaje ak figi Li fikse vè Jérusalem.
but the people there did not welcome him, because his face was set in the direction of Jerusalem.
54 Lè Jacques avèk Jean te wè sa, yo te di: “Senyè, èske Ou ta vle nou kòmande dife sòti nan syèl la pou devore yo?”
When James and John saw this, they said: “Master, do you wish us to call for fire to come down from the heavens and consume them?”
55 Men Li te vire e te reprimande yo: “Nou pa konnen de ki kalite lespri nou ye;
But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
56 paske Fis a Lòm nan pa t vini pou detwi lavi moun, men pou sove yo.” Konsa, yo te kontinye pou ale nan yon lòt vil.
And they made their way to another village.
57 Pandan yo t ap prale akote wout la, yon moun te di Li: “Mwen va swiv Ou Nenpòt kote Ou ale.”
And, while they were on their way, a man said to Jesus: “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Jésus te di Li: “Rena yo gen twou yo, e zwazo yo gen nich yo, men Fis a Lòm nan pa gen kote pou poze tèt Li.”
“Foxes have holes,” he replied, “and wild birds their roosting-places, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
59 Konsa, Li te di a yon lòt: “Swiv Mwen”. Men li te di: “Kite m ale avan pou antere papa m.”
To another man Jesus said: “Follow me.” “Let me first go and bury my father,” said the man.
60 Men Li te di li: “Kite mò yo antere mò yo; men pou ou menm, alepwoklame toupatou wayòm Bondye a.”
But Jesus said: “Leave the dead to bury their dead; but go yourself and carry far and wide the news of the Kingdom of God.”
61 Yon lòt osi te di: “Mwen va swiv Ou Senyè; men kite m dabò di orevwa a moun lakay mwen.”
“Master,” said another, “I will follow you; but first let me say good-bye to my family.”
62 Men Jésus te di li: “Nenpòt moun ki mete men li sou cha a pou gade pa dèyè pa dign de wayòm Bondye a.”
But Jesus answered: “No one who looks back, after putting his hand to the plough, is fitted for the Kingdom of God.”
