Mak 1
1 Kòmansman bòn nouvèl Jésus Kris la, Fis Bondye a.
The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
2 Jan li ekri nan Ésaïe, pwofèt la, “Gade byen, Mwen voye mesaje Mwen an pa devan nou, ki va prepare chemen nou;
As it is written in Isaiah the Prophet, "See, I am sending My messenger before Thee, Who will prepare Thy way";
3 Se vwa a youn k ap kriye nan dezè a, ‘Prepare chemen SENYÈ a; fè wout li dwat.’”
"The voice of one crying aloud: 'In the Desert prepare a road for the Lord: Make His highways straight.'"
4 Jean Baptiste te parèt nan savann nan pou preche batèm repantans lan pou padon peche yo.
So John the Baptizer came, and was in the Desert proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for forgiveness of sins.
5 Tout peyi Judée a t ap prale bò kote li avèk tout pèp Jérusalem lan. Konsa, yo t ap batize pa li menm nan larivyè Jourdain an. Yo t ap konfese peche yo.
There went out to him people of all classes from Judaea, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem of all ranks, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, making open confession of their sins.
6 Jean te abiye avèk pwal chamo. Yon sentiwon te antoure senti li, epi manje li se te krikèt avèk myèl sovaj.
As for John, his garment was of camel's hair, and he wore a loincloth of leather; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
7 Li t ap preche pou di: “Apre mwen gen youn k ap vini ki pi gran pase m, epi mwen pa menm dign pou m ta bese demare lasèt sandal Li.
His announcement was, "There is One coming after me mightier than I--One whose sandal-strap I am unworthy to stoop down and unfasten.
8 Mwen batize nou avèk dlo, men Li va batize nou avèk Lespri Sen an.”
I have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
9 Nan jou sa yo, Jésus te sòti Nazareth nan Galilée, e te batize pa Jean nan Jourdain an.
At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan;
10 Nan menm moman ke Li te sòti nan dlo a, Li te wè syèl la vin louvri, e Lespri a kon yon toutrèl te vin desann sou Li.
and immediately on His coming up out of the water He saw an opening in the sky, and the Spirit like a dove coming down to Him;
11 Yon vwa te sòti nan syèl la: “Ou menm se Fis byeneme Mwen an; nan Ou menm, Mwen byen kontan.”
and a voice came from the sky, saying, "Thou art My Son dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
12 Nan menm moman an Lespri a te pouse Li ale nan dezè a.
At once the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the Desert,
13 Konsa, Li te nan dezè a pou karant jou pandan Satan t ap tante Li. Li te avèk bèt sovaj yo, epi se zanj yo ki te okipe Li.
where He remained for forty days, tempted by Satan; and He was among the wild beasts, but the angels waited upon Him.
14 Alò, apre Jean te fin arete, Jésus te vini Galilée. Li t ap preche Bòn Nouvèl Bondye a.
Then, after John had been thrown into prison, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming God's Good News.
15 Li te di: “Lè a gen tan rive, epi wayòm Bondye a pwòch; repanti e kwè nan Bòn Nouvèl la.”
"The time has fully come," He said, "and the Kingdom of God is close at hand: repent, and believe this Good News.
16 Pandan li t ap pase bò kote lanmè Galilée a, Li te wè Simon avèk André, frè a Simon an, ki t ap voye yon senn nan lanmè a, paske se moun lapèch yo te ye.
One day, passing along the shore of the Lake of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, throwing their nets in the Lake; for they were fisherman.
17 Jésus te di yo: “Swiv Mwen, e M ap fè nou fè lapèch moun.”
"Come and follow me," said Jesus, "and I will make you fishers for men."
18 La menm, yo te kite senn yo pou te swiv Li.
At once they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Pi lwen Li te wè Jacques, fis Zébédée a, ak Jean, frè li a, ki t ap repare senn yo nan kannòt la.
Going on a little further He saw James the son of Zabdi and his brother John: they also were in the boat mending the nets, and He immediately called them.
20 Lapoula Li te rele yo, e yo te kite Zébédée, papa yo, nan kannòt la avèk sèvitè jounalye yo, e te sòti pou swiv Li.
They therefore left their father Zabdi in the boat with the hired men, and went and followed Him.
21 Yo te ale Capernaüm. Imedyatman nan Saba a, Li te antre nan sinagòg la pou l te kòmanse enstwi.
So they came to Capernaum, and on the next Sabbath He went to the synagogue and began to teach.
22 Yo te etone pou jan Li te enstwi a. Paske Li te enstwi kon yon moun ki te gen otorite, e pa kon skrib yo.
The people listened with amazement to His teaching--for there was authority about it: it was very different from that of the Scribes--
23 Nan menm lè sa a, te gen yon mesye nan sinagòg la ki te gen yon move lespri. Li t ap rele fò
when all at once, there in their synagogue, a man under the power of a foul spirit screamed out:
24 pou di: “Kisa nou gen avè w, Jésus de Nazareth? Èske Ou vini pou detwi nou? Mwen konnen kilès Ou ye Sila ki Sen Bondye a!”
"What have you to do with us, Jesus the Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--God's Holy One."
25 Konsa Jésus te reprimande L. Li te di l: “Pe la, e sòti nan li!”
But Jesus reprimanded him, saying, "Silence! come out of him."
26 Move lespri a te boulvèse li avèk gwo kriz. Li te kriye ak yon vwa fò, e te kite li.
So the foul spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions, came out of him with a loud cry.
27 Yo tout te etone. Yo te diskite pami yo e te di: “Kisa sa ye? Yon enstriksyon nèf? Avèk otorite Li kòmande menm move lespri yo, e yo obeyi Li!”
And all were amazed and awe-struck, so they began to ask one another, "What does this mean? Here is a new sort of teaching--and a tone of authority! And even to foul spirits he issues orders and they obey him!"
28 Byen vit nouvèl la te kouri toupatou nan tout anviwon Galilée a.
And His fame spread at once everywhere in all that part of Galilee.
29 Depi lè yo kite sinagòg la, yo te antre lakay Simon avèk André ansanm avèk Jacques ak Jean.
Then on leaving the synagogue they came at once, with James and John, to the house of Simon and Andrew.
30 Bèlmè Simon an te kouche malad avèk yon lafyèv. Imedyatman an yo te pale avèk Li konsènan li.
Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill in bed with a fever, and without delay they informed Him about her.
31 Jésus te vin kote l. Li te leve li pa men li, epi lafyèv la te kite li. Konsa li te sèvi yo.
So He went to her, and taking her hand He raised her to her feet: the fever left her, and she began to wait upon them.
32 Lè nwit lan te rive e solèy la fin kouche, yo te pote bay Li tout moun ki te malad yo, avèk sila ki te gen move lespri yo.
When it was evening, after sunset people came bringing Him all who were sick and the demoniacs;
33 Tout vil la te rasanble devan pòt la.
and the whole town was assembled at the door.
34 Li te geri anpil moun ki te malad avèk plizyè kalite maladi, e te chase anpil dyab. Li pa t kite yo pale paske yo te konnen kilès Li te ye.
Then He cured numbers of people who were ill with various diseases, and He drove out many demons; not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
35 Nan granmmaten, pandan li te toujou fènwa, Li te leve e te ale deyò nan yon kote izole kote li t ap priye.
In the morning He rose early, while it was still quite dark, and leaving the house He went away to a solitary place and there prayed.
36 Konsa, Simon avèk sila ki te avè l yo t ap chèche Li.
And Simon and the others searched everywhere for Him.
37 Yo te twouve li, e te di L: “Tout moun ap chèche Ou”.
When they found Him they said, "Every one is looking for you."
38 Li te di yo: “Annou ale yon lòt kote nan vil ki toupre yo pou M kab preche la tou, paske se pou sa ke M te vini.”
"Let us go elsewhere, to the neighbouring country towns," He replied, "that I may proclaim my Message there also; because for that purpose I came from God."
39 Li te ale nan sinagòg yo toupatou nan tout Galilée, e Li t ap preche, e chase move lespri yo.
And He went through all Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and expelling the demons.
40 Yon lepre te vin kote L, e t ap sipliye L. Li te tonbe ajenou devan L, e te di L: “Si Ou vle, Ou kapab fè m vin pwòp”.
One day there came a leper to Jesus entreating Him, and pleading on his knees. "If you are willing," he said, "you are able to cleanse me."
41 Kè Li te vin plen avèk konpasyon. Li te lonje men L, te touche li, e te di L: “Mwen vle. Vin pwòp”.
Moved with pity Jesus reached out His hand and touched him. "I am willing," He said; "be cleansed."
42 Konsa, touswit lèp la te kite l, e li te vin pwòp.
The leprosy at once left him, and he was cleansed.
43 Konsa, Li te avèti li byen sevè, e byen vit, Li te voye l ale.
Jesus at once sent him away, strictly charging him,
44 Li te di li: “Fè atansyon pou pa di anyen a pèsòn; men ale montre ou menm a prèt la, e ofri li yon ofrann pou pirifikasyon ou, sa ke Moïse te kòmande a, kon yon temwayaj a yo menm.”
and saying, "Be careful not to tell any one, but go and show yourself to the Priest, and for your purification present the offerings that Moses appointed as evidence for them."
45 Men li te ale deyò e te kòmanse pwoklame sa toupatou. Li te gaye nouvèl la jouk lè Jésus pa t kapab antre piblikman nan yon vil ankò, men te rete andeyò nan zòn dezè yo. Moun yo te sòti vin kote l de tout andwa.
But the man, when he went out, began to tell every one and to publish the matter abroad, so that it was no longer possible for Jesus to go openly into any town; but He had to remain outside in unfrequented places, where people came to Him from all parts.
