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 dug a vineyard, and surrounded it with a hedge, and dug a pit, and built a tower, and he loaned it out to farmers, and he set out on a long journey.
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 in time, he sent a servant to the farmers, in order to receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the farmers.
3 Konsa, yo te pran li, yo te bat li, e te voye li ale men vid.
But they, having apprehended him, beat him and sent him away empty.
4 Ankò li te voye yon lòt esklav. Yo te blese li nan tèt, e te maltrete l byen maltrete.
And again, he sent another servant to them. And they wounded him on the head, and they treated him with contempt.
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 many others: some they beat, but others 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 still one son, most dear to him, he sent him also to them, at the very end, saying, ‘For 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 the settlers said one to another: ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him. And then the inheritance will be ours.’
8 Epi yo te pran li, yo te touye li, e te jete li deyò jaden an.
And apprehending him, they killed him. And they cast 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.
Therefore, what will the lord of the vineyard do?” “He will come and destroy the settlers. And he will give the 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.
“And so, have you not read this scripture?: ‘The stone which the builders have rejected, the same has been made the head of the corner.
11 Sa te vin rive soti nan Bondye, e se yon mèvèy nan zye nou.’?”
By the Lord has this been done, 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 hold of him, but they feared the crowd. For they knew that he had spoken this parable about them. And leaving him behind, they 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 some of the Pharisees and Herodians to him, so that they might trap him with 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 these, arriving, said to him: “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you do not favor anyone; for you do not consider the appearance of men, but you teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give the tribute to Caesar, or should we not give it?”
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.”
And knowing their skill in deception, he said to them: “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, so 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”.
And they brought it to him. And he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar’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.
So in response, Jesus said to them, “Then render to Caesar, the things that are of Caesar; and to God, the things that are of God.” And they wondered over 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 there is no resurrection, approached him. And they questioned 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 that if any man’s brother will have died and left behind a wife, and not have left behind sons, his brother should take his wife to himself and should raise up offspring for his brother.
20 Te gen sèt frè; epi premye a te pran yon madanm, e li te mouri san fè eritye.
So then, there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and he died without leaving behind offspring.
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 neither did he leave behind offspring. And the third acted similarly.
22 Epi menm jan an tout sèt yo, san kite eritye. An dènye lye, fanm nan te mouri tou.
And in like manner, each of the seven received her and did not leave behind offspring. 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 will rise again, to which of them will she be a wife? For each of the seven had her as 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 responded by saying to them: “But have you not gone astray, by knowing neither 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 will be resurrected from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be given in marriage, but they are like 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 who rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him from the bush, 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 have gone far astray.”
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, who had heard them arguing, drew near to him. And seeing that he had answered them well, he questioned him as to which was 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: “For the first commandment of all is this: ‘Listen, O Israel. The Lord your God is one God.
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 from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from your whole mind, and from 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.”
But the second is similar to it: ‘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: Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth 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 that he should be loved from the whole heart, and from the whole understanding, and from the whole soul, and from the whole strength. And to love one’s neighbor as one’s self is greater than all holocausts 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, seeing that he had responded wisely, said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that, no one dared to question him.
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 while teaching in the temple, Jesus said in answer: “How is it that the scribes say 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 in the Holy Spirit: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand, until I set your enemies as your footstool.’
37 “David li menm rele Li ‘Senyè’, e nan ki sans Li kapab fis Li?” Gwo foul pèp la te kontan tande Li.
Therefore, David himself calls him Lord, and so how can he be his son?” And a great multitude listened to him willingly.
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 doctrine: “Beware of the scribes, who prefer to walk in long robes and to be greeted in the marketplace,
39 ak premye plas nan sinagòg yo, ak pozisyon lonè nan bankè yo,
and to sit in the first chairs in the synagogues, and to have the first seats at feasts,
40 ki devore kay vèv yo, e pou parèt byen, yo fè gwo priyè. Sila yo ap resevwa yon pi gwo kondanasyon.”
who devour the houses of widows under the pretense of long prayers. These shall receive the more extensive judgment.”
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 offertory box, considered the way in which the crowd cast coins into the offertory, and that many of the wealthy cast in a great deal.
42 Epi yon vèv malere te vin mete ladann de ti kòb an kwiv ki te gen valè a yon santim.
But when one poor widow had arrived, she put in two small coins, which is a quarter.
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 calling together his disciples, he said to them: “Amen I say to you, that this poor widow has put in more than all those who contributed to the offertory.
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 they all gave from their abundance, yet truly, she gave from her scarcity, even all that she had, her entire living.”
