Mak 10
1 Lè l leve, Li te kite la pou landwa Juda a, ak lòtbò Jourdain an. Foul yo te antoure Li ankò, e selon koutim Li, Li te kòmanse enstwi yo ankò.
On leaving that place, Jesus went into the district of Judea on the other side of the Jordan. Crowds gathered about him again; and again, as usual, he began teaching them.
2 Kèk Farizyen te vin kote L pou sonde L, e te kesyone L pou si li te pèmi pou yon mesye divòse ak madanm li.
Presently some Pharisees came up and, to test him, asked, ‘Has a husband the right to divorce his wife?’
3 Konsa, Li te reponn li e te di: “Kisa Moïse te kòmande nou?”
‘What direction did Moses give you?’ replied Jesus.
4 Yo te di: “Moïse te bay dwa pou yon mesye ekri yon sètifika pou l divòse ak li, epi voye l ale.”
‘Moses,’ they said, ‘permitted a man to draw up in writing a notice of separation and divorce his wife.’
5 Men Jésus te di yo: “Akoz kè di nou, li te ekri nou kòmandman sa a.
‘It was owing to the hardness of your hearts,’ said Jesus, ‘that Moses gave you this direction;
6 Men depi kòmansman kreyasyon an, Bondye te fè yo mal ak femèl.
but, at the beginning of the Creation, “God made them male and female.”
7 Pou rezon sa a, yon gason va kite papa li ak manman li,
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother,
8 epi yo de a ap vin fè yon sèl chè. An konsekans, se pa de yo ye ankò, men yon sèl chè.
and the man and his wife will become one;” so that they are no longer two, but one.
9 Pou rezon sa a, sa ke Bondye gen tan lye ansanm, pa kite okenn moun separe l.”
What God himself, then, has yoked together no one must separate.’
10 Anndan kay la, disip yo te kesyone Li ankò.
When they were indoors, the disciples asked him again about this,
11 E Li te di yo: “Nenpòt moun ki divòse ak madanm li pou marye avèk yon lòt fanm, fè adiltè kont li.
and he said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman is guilty of adultery against his wife;
12 E si fanm nan divòse ak mari li e marye avèk yon lòt, li menm tou fè adiltè.”
and, if the woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she is guilty of adultery.’
13 Konsa yo t ap pote timoun bay li pou L ta kapab touche yo, e disip yo te reprimande yo.
Some of the people were bringing little children to Jesus, for him to touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who had brought them.
14 Men lè Jésus te wè sa, Li te mekontan e te di yo: “Kite timoun yo vini kote Mwen; pa anpeche yo, paske wayòm Bondye a se pou sila ki tankou sa yo.
When, however, Jesus saw this, he was indignant. ‘Let the little children come to me,’ he said, ‘do not hinder them; for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of God belongs.
15 Anverite Mwen di nou: nenpòt moun ki pa resevwa wayòm Bondye a kon yon timoun, li p ap antre li menm.”
I tell you, unless a person receives the kingdom of God like a child, they will not enter it at all.’
16 Epi li te pran yo nan bra Li, te beni yo, e te poze men L sou yo.
Then he embraced the children, and, placing his hands on them, gave them his blessing.
17 Pandan Li t ap prepare pou yon vwayaj, yon nonm te kouri kote L, te mete l ajenou devan Li. Li te mande L: “Bon Mèt, kisa mwen dwe fè pou eritye lavi etènèl?” (aiōnios g166)
As Jesus was resuming his journey, a man came running up to him, and threw himself on his knees before him. ‘Good teacher,’ he asked, ‘what must I do to gain eternal life?’ (aiōnios g166)
18 Epi Jésus te di Li: “Poukisa ou rele M bon? Nanpwen moun ki bon sof ke Bondye sèl.
‘Why do you call me good?’ answered Jesus. ‘No one is good but God.
19 Ou konnen kòmandman yo, ‘Pa touye moun, pa fè adiltè, pa vòlè, pa fè fo temwayaj, pa twonpe moun, onore papa ou avèk manman ou’.”
You know the commandments – “Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not say what is false about others. Do not cheat. Honour your father and your mother.”’
20 Konsa li te di Li: “Mèt, mwen fè tout bagay sa yo depi mwen timoun.”
‘Teacher,’ he replied, ‘I have observed all these from my childhood.’
21 Jésus te byen gade li. Li te gen yon lanmou pou li. Li te di l: “Yon bagay ou manke; ale vann tout sa ou posede, bay malere yo, e ou va gen richès nan syèl la. E konsa, vin swiv Mwen.”
Jesus looked at the man, and his heart went out to him, and he said, ‘There is still one thing wanting in you; go and sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.’
22 Men avèk pawòl sa yo, li te vin atriste. Li te kite lye sa a, byen dezole, paske li te yon moun ki te gen anpil byen.
But the man’s face clouded at these words, and he went away distressed, for he had great possessions.
23 Jésus te gade toupatou e te di a disip li yo: “Ala sa ap difisil pou sila ki gen anpil richès antre nan wayòm Bondye a!”
Then Jesus looked round, and said to his disciples, ‘How hard it will be for people of wealth to enter the kingdom of God!’
24 Disip Li yo te etone de pawòl Li yo. Men Jésus te reponn yo ankò e te di yo: “Zanfan yo, ala sa difisil pou antre nan wayòm Bondye a!
The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, ‘My children, how hard a thing it is to enter the kingdom of God!
25 L ap pi fasil pou yon chamo pase nan zye a yon egwi, pase pou yon moun rich antre nan wayòm Bondye a.”
It is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.’
26 Yo te menm pi etone. Yo te di l: “Ebyen, kilès ki kab sove?”
‘Then who can be saved?’ they exclaimed in the greatest astonishment.
27 Tou ap gade yo Jésus te di: “Avèk moun, sa pa posib, men li pa konsa avèk Bondye. Paske tout bagay posib avèk Bondye.”
Jesus looked at them, and answered, ‘With people it is impossible, but not with God; for everything is possible with God.’
28 Pierre te kòmanse di L: “Gade, nou gen tan kite tout bagay e te swiv Ou.”
‘But we,’ began Peter, ‘we left everything and have followed you.’
29 Jésus te di: “Anverite Mwen di nou, ‘Nanpwen pèsòn ki kite kay li, oswa frè li, oswa sè li ak pitit li, ni manman ni papa, oswa jaden li pou koz Mwen ak pou koz levanjil la,
‘I tell you,’ said Jesus, ‘there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, for my sake and for the good news,
31 Men anpil moun ki premye ap vin dènye; e dènye yo va vin premye.
But many who are first now will then be last, and the last will be first.’
32 Yo te sou wout la pou ale Jérusalem e Jésus t ap mache pi devan yo. Yo te etone, e sila ki te swiv yo te pè anpil. Ankò Li te rele douz yo akote e te kòmanse di yo kisa ki ta vin rive Li.
They were on the road going up to Jerusalem, with Jesus walking in front of them. The disciples were filled with awe, while those who were following behind were overwhelmed with fear. Gathering the Twelve round him once more, Jesus began to tell them what was about to happen to him.
33 “Byen gade, nou ap monte Jérusalem. Fis a Lòm nan va livre a chèf prèt yo avèk skrib yo. Yo va kondane Li a lanmò, e yo va livre li a payen yo.
‘Listen!’ he said. ‘We are going up to Jerusalem; and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the Law, and they will condemn him to death, and they will give him up to the Gentiles,
34 Epi y ap moke L, krache sou Li, bay Li gwo kout fwèt, e touye L. Twa jou pita, L ap resisite.”
who will mock him, spit on him, and scourge him, and put him to death; and after three days he will rise again.’
35 Jacques, Jean, avèk de fis Zébédée yo te vin kote L. Yo te di L: “Mèt, nou vle ke Ou fè pou nou nenpòt sa ke nou mande Ou”.
James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, went to Jesus, and said, ‘Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.’
36 Li te di yo: “Kisa nou vle M fè pou nou”?
‘What do you want me to do for you?’ he asked.
37 Yo te di L: “Bannou dwa pou nou kapab chita nan glwa Ou, youn sou bò dwat Ou, e youn sou bò gòch Ou nan glwa Ou.”
‘Grant us this,’ they answered, ‘to sit, one on your right, and the other on your left, when you come in glory.’
38 Men Jésus te di yo: “Nou pa konnen sa n ap mande a. Èske nou kapab bwè tas ke M ap bwè a, oubyen batize avèk batèm ke Mwen ap batize a?”
‘You do not know what you are asking,’ Jesus said to them. ‘Can you drink the cup that I am to drink? Or receive the baptism that I am to receive?’
39 Yo te di L: “Nou kapab”. Jésus te reponn yo: “Tas ke M ap bwè a, nou ap bwè. Epi nou ap batize avèk menm batèm ke M ap batize a.
‘Yes,’ they answered, ‘we can.’ ‘You will indeed drink the cup that I am to drink,’ Jesus said, ‘and receive the baptism that I am to receive,
40 Men pou chita bò dwat Mwen, oubyen bò gòch Mwen an, sila a se pa pa M nan pou M ta bay, men se pou sila ke li te prepare yo.”
but as to a seat at my right or at my left – that is not mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.’
41 Lè yo tande sa, dis lòt yo te kòmanse santi ke yo te mekontan avèk Jacques ak Jean.
On hearing of this, the ten others were at first very indignant about James and John.
42 Konsa, Jésus te rele yo a Li menm. Li te di yo: “Nou konnen ke sila ki rekonèt kon chèf pami payen yo domine sou yo, epi gwo chèf yo egzèse otorite sou yo.
But Jesus called the ten to him, and said, ‘Those who are regarded as ruling among the Gentiles lord it over them, as you know, and their great men oppress them.
43 Men li pa konsa pami nou menm, men nenpòt moun ki vle vin gran pami nou, va sèvi nou.
But among you it is not so. No, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
44 Nenpòt moun ki vle premye pami nou, va vin esklav a nou tout.
and whoever wants to take the first place among you must be the servant of all;
45 Paske menm Fis a Lòm nan pa t vin pou yo sèvi Li, men pou bay vi li kon yon ranson pou anpil lòt.”
for even the Son of Man came, not be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.’
46 Konsa yo te rive Jéricho. E pandan Li t ap kite Jéricho avèk disip Li yo, ansanm ak yon gwo foul la, yon avèg ki t ap mande, ki te rele Bartimée, fis a Timée, te chita akote wout la.
They came to Jericho. When Jesus was going out of the town with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside.
47 Lè l tande ke se te Jésus, Nazareyen an, li te kòmanse kriye fò e te di: “Jésus, Fis a David la, gen pitye pou mwen!”
Hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to call out, ‘Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me.’
48 Konsa, anpil moun t ap pale ak li sevèman pou li ta pe la, men li te kriye pi fò: “Fis a David la: gen pitye pou mwen!”
Many of the people kept telling him to be quiet; but the man continued to call out all the louder, ‘Son of David, take pity on me.’
49 Konsa, Jésus te rete la, e te di: “Rele Li.” Yo te rele avèg la. Yo te di l: “Pran kouraj! Leve kanpe! L ap rele ou!”
Then Jesus stopped. ‘Call him,’ he said. So they called the blind man. ‘Have courage!’ they exclaimed. ‘Get up; he is calling you.’
50 Li te jete akote gwo vètman li, te vòltije kanpe byen vit, e te rive kote Jésus.
The man threw off his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
51 Jésus te reponn li, e te di l: “Kisa ou vle M fè pou ou?” Mesye avèg la te di L: “Rabouni (ki vle di Mèt), mwen vle wè ankò!”
‘What do you want me to do for you?’ said Jesus, addressing him. ‘Rabboni,’ the blind man answered, ‘I want to recover my sight.’
52 Jésus te di l: “Ale! Lafwa ou fè ou geri.” Lapoula, li te wè ankò, e li t ap swiv Li sou wout la.
‘You may go,’ Jesus said, ‘Your faith has delivered you.’ Immediately he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus along the road.
