Mak 12
1 Konsa, Li te kòmanse pale yo an parabòl: “Yon nonm te plante yon jaden rezen, te antoure l avèk yon miray, e te fouye yon basen anba pèz diven an. Li te bati yon kay gad byen wo, e li te lwe l a kiltivatè yo. Konsa, li te fè yon vwayaj nan yon lòt peyi.
And he began to speak to them in parables: A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and digged a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went into another country.
2 Nan lè rekòlt la, li te voye yon esklav li kote kiltivatè yo pou l ta kapab resevwa kèk nan pwodwi jaden an nan men a kiltivatè yo.
And at the proper time, he sent a servant to the vine-dressers, that he might receive from the vine-dressers of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 Konsa, yo te pran li, yo te bat li, e te voye li ale men vid.
And they took him and scourged him, and sent him away without any thing.
4 Ankò li te voye yon lòt esklav. Yo te blese li nan tèt, e te maltrete l byen maltrete.
And again he sent to them another servant; and at him they threw stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 Epi li voye yon lòt. Sila a yo te touye. E anpil lòt; kèk yo te bat, e kèk yo te touye.
And again he sent another; and him they killed. And he sent many others, some of whom they scourged, and some they killed.
6 “Li te gen youn anplis, yon fis byeneme. Konsa, an dènye lye, li te voye li bay yo. Li te di: ‘Yo va respekte fis mwen an’.
Therefore, having yet one son, his beloved, he sent him also to them last, saying, They will reverence my son.
7 “Men kiltivatè rezen sa yo te di youn ak lòt: ‘Sa se eritye a; vini, annou touye l e jete l deyò jaden an, e eritaj la ap vin pou nou!’
But those vine-dressers said one to another, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
8 Epi yo te pran li, yo te touye li, e te jete li deyò jaden an.
And they took him, and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 “Kisa mèt jaden an ap fè? Li va vin detwi kiltivatè rezen yo, e li va bay jaden an a lòt moun.
What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those vine-dressers, and give his vineyard to others.
10 Èske nou pa t menm li Ekriti sila a?: ‘Wòch ke moun ki t ap bati yo te refize a; sila a te devni wòch ang prensipal la.
Have you not read this scripture: The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner;
11 Sa te vin rive soti nan Bondye, e se yon mèvèy nan zye nou.’?”
this was from the Lord, and it is wondrous in our eyes?
12 Konsa, yo t ap chache sezi li; malgre yo te pè foul la, paske yo te konprann ke Li te pale parabòl sa a kont yo menm. Konsa, yo te kite Li e te ale.
And they sought to take him, but feared the multitude; for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them; and they left him, and went away.
13 Yo te voye kèk nan Farizyen yo ak Ewodyen yo kote Li, pou yo ta kapab pran l nan pèlen avèk pwòp pawòl Li.
And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might entrap him in his words.
14 Yo te vini, e te mande L: “Mèt, nou konnen ke Ou bay verite a, e Ou pa nan patipri a pèsòn, men enstwi chemen Bondye a ak verite: Èske li pèmi pou peye taks a César; wi, oubyen non?
And they came and said to him: Teacher, we know that you are true, and that you care for no one; for you do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?
15 “Èske n ap peye, oubyen èske nou p ap peye?” Men Li menm ki te konnen se ipokrit yo t ap fè, Li te di yo: “Poukisa nou ap tante Mwen? Pote ban m yon denye (kòb jounalye peyi a) pou M gade l.”
Must we give, or must we not give? But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them: Why do you tempt me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
16 Epi yo te pote l. Li te di yo: “Se imaj ak non a ki moun ki la a?” Yo te di Li: “Se pou César”.
They brought it; and he said to them: Whose image and superscription is this? They said to him: Cæsar’s.
17 Konsa, Jésus te di yo: “Bay César bagay sila a ki pou César yo, e a Bondye bagay ki pou Bondye yo.” E yo te etone de Li menm.
And Jesus answered and said to them: Give to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they were astonished at him.
18 Alò, Sadiseyen yo, ki di ke nanpwen rezirèksyon, te vin kote L e te kesyone L. Yo te di:
And the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him, and put a question to him, saying:
19 “Mèt, Moïse te ekri pou nou ke ‘Si frè a yon nonm mouri, e kite dèyè l madanm li, san li pa gen pitit, ke frè l la dwe pran madanm nan pou fè yon eritye pou frè li a.’
Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If any man’s brother die, and leave a wife, and leave no children, his brother shall take his wife, and raise up children for his brother.
20 Te gen sèt frè; epi premye a te pran yon madanm, e li te mouri san fè eritye.
Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and dying, left no child;
21 Epi dezyèm nan te pran l, e te mouri san kite eritye; epi twazyèm nan menm jan an,
and the second took her, and he died, and left no child; and the third, likewise;
22 Epi menm jan an tout sèt yo, san kite eritye. An dènye lye, fanm nan te mouri tou.
and the seven took her, and left no child. Last of all, the woman also died.
23 Nan rezirèksyon an, lè yo leve ankò, se madanm a kilès l ap ye? Paske tout sèt yo te genyen l kòm madanm.”
Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, of which of them shall she be the wife? for the seven had her as a wife.
24 Jésus te di yo: “Èske se pa pou rezon sa a ke nou twonpe nou an; paske nou pa konprann ni Ekriti yo ni pouvwa Bondye?
And Jesus answered and said to them: Do you not err for this reason, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 Paske lè yo leve soti nan lanmò, yo p ap marye, ni bay moun nan maryaj, men yo ap tankou zanj nan syèl yo.
For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven.
26 Men konsènan fè ke mò yo leve ankò a, èske nou pa t li nan pasaj liv Moïse la, devan ti bwa brile a, ke Bondye te pale l e te di l: ‘Mwen menm se Bondye Abraham nan, Bondye Isaac ak Bondye Jacob la’?
But concerning the dead, that they do rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, at The Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 “Li pa Bondye a mò yo, men a vivan yo. Nou menm nou byen twonpe nou.”
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Therefore, you do greatly err.
28 Youn nan skrib yo te vini e te tande y ap diskite. Akoz ke li te konprann ke Li te reponn yo byen, li te mande L: “Ki kòmandman ki pi enpòtan an?”
And one of the scribes came, and heard them reasoning together; and perceiving that he had answered them well, he asked him: Which is the first commandment of all?
29 Epi Jésus te reponn: “Pi enpòtan an se ‘Tande O Israël! SENYÈ, Bondye nou an se Yon Sèl SENYÈ a.
And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.
30 Ou va renmen SENYÈ ou a, Bondye ou a avèk tout kè ou, avèk tout nanm ou, avèk tout lespri ou, e avèk tout fòs ou.’
And you shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole mind, and with your whole strength. This is the first commandment.
31 “Dezyèm nan se sa: ‘Ou va renmen vwazen ou an tankou tèt ou.’ Nanpwen lòt kòmandman pi gran pase sa yo.”
And the second, which is like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
32 Skrib la te di L: “Se sa Mèt, Ou vrèman pale ke Li se Youn, e nanpwen lòt sof ke Li Menm.
And the scribe said to him: Teacher, in truth you have well said, that there is one God, and there is no other beside him;
33 E pou renmen Li avèk tout kè nou, avèk tout konprann nou, e avèk tout fòs nou, e pou renmen vwazen nou tankou tèt ou, se bokou plis pase tout ofrann brile avèk sakrifis.”
and to love him with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength, and to love one’s neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
34 Lè Jésus te wè ke li te reponn avèk bon konprann, Li te di li: “Ou pa lwen wayòm Bondye a”. Apre sa, pèsòn pa t tante poze Li okenn lòt kesyon.
And Jesus perceiving that he answered with understanding, said to him: You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no one, after that, ventured to ask him a question.
35 Jésus te kòmanse di pandan Li t ap enstwi nan tanp lan: “Kijan sa rive ke skrib yo di ke Kris la se fis a David la?
And Jesus, as he was teaching in the temple, answered and said: How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David?
36 Menm David te di nan Lespri Sen an: ‘Senyè a te di a Senyè Mwen an, chita sou men dwat Mwen, jouk lè ke M mete tout lènmi Ou yo anba pye Ou.’
For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
37 “David li menm rele Li ‘Senyè’, e nan ki sans Li kapab fis Li?” Gwo foul pèp la te kontan tande Li.
David himself, then, calls him Lord; and how is he his son? And the great multitude heard him with pleasure.
38 Nan enstriksyon Li, Li t ap di: “Fè atansyon kont skrib yo ki renmen mache toupatou ak gwo vètman, e ki renmen resevwa salitasyon ak respè nan mache a,
And he said to them in his teaching: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in robes, and love salutations in the markets,
39 ak premye plas nan sinagòg yo, ak pozisyon lonè nan bankè yo,
and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at suppers;
40 ki devore kay vèv yo, e pou parèt byen, yo fè gwo priyè. Sila yo ap resevwa yon pi gwo kondanasyon.”
who eat up the houses of widows, and, as a pretext, make long prayers: these shall receive more abundant condemnation.
41 Li te chita anfas trezò tanp lan, e te kòmanse gade jan foul la t ap mete kòb yo nan trezò a. Anpil moun rich t ap mete gwo lajan ladann.
And Jesus, sitting opposite the treasury, observed how the multitude threw money into the treasury. And many rich persons threw in much.
42 Epi yon vèv malere te vin mete ladann de ti kòb an kwiv ki te gen valè a yon santim.
And there came one poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 Li te rele disip Li yo a Li menm e Li te di yo: “Anverite Mwen di nou, vèv malere sila a te mete plis pase tout lòt ki bay nan trezò a.
And he called his disciples to him, and said to them: Verily I say to you, this poor widow has thrown in more than all that have thrown into the treasury.
44 Paske yo tout te mete selon fòs sa yo te genyen, men malgre li te malere, li te mete tout sa li te posede, tout sa ke li te gen pou li viv.”
For all have thrown in out of their abundance; but she, out of her poverty, has thrown in all that she had, her whole living.
