Mak 4
1 Li te kòmanse enstwi yo ankò bò kote lanmè a. Yon gwo foul te ransanble kote Li jiskaske Li te vin antre nan yon kannòt sou lanmè a e Li te chita. Tout foul la te kanpe atè bò lanmè a.
And again he began to teach by the seaside. And a large crowd was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. And the whole crowd was on the land by the sea.
2 Konsa, Li te enstwi yo anpil bagay an parabòl. Li t ap di yo nan ansèyman li;
And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 “Koute! Yon moun ki t ap simen te ale deyò pou simen grenn.
"Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.
4 Pandan li t ap simen, kèk grenn te tonbe akote wout la pou zwazo yo vin manje l nèt.
And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 “Lòt grenn te tonbe nan wòch kote pa t gen anpil tè. Byen vit, li te leve, paske tè a pa t gen pwofondè.
And others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Konsa, lè solèy la fin leve, li te vin brile, e akoz li pa t gen rasin, li te fennen.
And when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 “Lòt grenn tonbe pami pikan yo. Pikan yo leve toufe li, e li pa t bay donn.
And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 “Lòt grenn te tonbe nan bon tè e pandan yo t ap grandi, ogmante, yo vin bay yon rekòlt ki te pwodwi trant, swasant, e menm san fwa.”
And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth thirty times, and sixty times, and one hundred times."
9 Konsa li te di: “Sila ki gen zòrèy pou tande, kite l tande”.
And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
10 Pandan Li te apa pou kont Li, sila ki t ap swiv Li yo ansanm avèk douz yo t ap poze L kesyon sou parabòl yo.
And when he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
11 Li te di yo: “A nou menm te gen tan bay mistè a wayòm Bondye a; men sila ki rete deyò yo, ap resevwa tout bagay an parabòl.
And he said to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
12 Pou l rive ke Malgre yo wè, yo kapab wè san apèsi; e pandan y ap tande, yo kapab tande e pa konprann. Otreman, yo ta kab retounen pou twouve padon.”
that 'seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn and be forgiven.'"
13 Li te di yo: “Èske nou pa konprann parabòl sila a? Alò kijan nou va konprann tout parabòl yo?
And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
14 “Moun k ap simen an simen pawòl la.
The farmer sows the word.
15 Se sila ki akote wout yo, ke lè pawòl la fin simen, yo tande. Men byen vit, Satan vin pran pawòl ki te simen an, e rachte l soti nan yo.
And these are the ones by the road where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
16 “E nan yon jan ki sanble ak sa, sila yo se yo menm ki te simen kote ki plen wòch yo. Lè yo fin tande pawòl la, byen vit, yo resevwa l avèk jwa.
And these in a similar way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
17 Men yo pa gen rasin fon nan yo menm. Yo la pou yon ti tan. Lè afliksyon oswa pèsekisyon vini akoz pawòl la, lapoula yo vin chite.
And they have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. Then, when oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 “Lòt yo se sila yo ki te te simen pami pikan yo. Se yo ki te tande pawòl yo,
And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
19 men tout pwoblèm mond sa a ak sediksyon richès yo, avèk lanvi pou lòt bagay toufe pawòl la, pou li pa donnen fwi. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 “Sila ki te te simen nan bon tè a, se yo menm ki te tande pawòl la, yo te aksepte li, e yo te vin bay fwi trant, swasant e menm san fwa.”
And those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."
21 Konsa Li t ap di yo: “Èske yon lanp pote pou mete anba yon panyen oubyen anba yon kabann? Èske yo pa pote li pou mete li sou yon chandelye?
And he said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not put on a stand?
22 Paske anyen pa kache, sof ke pou revele, ni anyen pa an sekrè, sof ke pou parèt nan limyè.
For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.
23 Si yon moun gen zòrèy pou tande, kite l tande.”
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 E Li t ap di yo: “Fè atansyon a sa nou koute. Menm jan ke nou mezire bay, li va mezire remèt a nou menm; e menm plis, y ap bannou ki tande.
And he said to them, "Consider carefully what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you.
25 Paske a nenpòt moun ki genyen, l ap resevwa anplis, e a nenpòt moun ki pa genyen, menm sa li genyen an ap retire nan men li.”
For whoever has, more will be given, and he who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."
26 E Li t ap di: “Wayòm syèl la se tankou yon mesye k ap voye semans sou latè.
And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
27 Konsa, l ale sou kabann li nan aswè, li leve lajounen, e semans lan pouse e grandi; kijan sa fè fèt, li menm pa konnen.
and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
28 Tè a pwodwi rekòlt pou kont li; premyèman flèch, answit tèt la, e apre sa, grenn mi yo nan tèt la.
The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Men depi rekòlt la vin prè, byen vit l ap bay li kouto, paske lè rekòlt la rive.”
But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
30 Li te di: “Kijan n ap imajine wayòm Bondye a, oubyen selon ki parabòl nou kapab reprezante li?
And he said, "To what will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
31 Li tankou yon grenn moutad ke lè l simen nan tè, li pi piti pase tout grenn ki sou latè.
It's like a mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the soil, though it is less than all the seeds that are upon the soil,
32 Malgre sa, lè l fin simen, li grandi e vin pi gwo pase tout lòt plant nan jaden yo, epi fè gwo branch, pou zwazo anlè yo kab vin fè nich anba lonbraj li.”
And when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."
33 Ak anpil parabòl konsa, Li te pale pawòl la avèk yo nan limit yo ta kapab tande l pou konprann.
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 Li pa t pale avèk yo san parabòl; men Li t ap eksplike tout bagay an prive a disip Li yo.
And he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Nan jou sa a, lè lannwit vin rive, Li te di yo: “Annou pase pa lòtbò”.
And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."
36 Yo te kite foul la e te pran Li avèk yo jan Li te ye nan kannòt la. Anplis, te gen lòt kannòt ki te avèk Li.
And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
37 Konsa, te vin leve yon gwo van tanpèt, ak vag lanmè ki t ap kase sou kannòt la otan ke kannòt la te prèske fin plen nèt.
And a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
38 Jésus Li menm te nan pwent dèyè kote L t ap dòmi sou yon kousen. Yo te fè L leve e te di Li: “Mèt, èske sa pa fè Ou anyen ke n ap mouri?”
And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are dying?"
39 Li te leve, e konsa, Li te reprimande van an e te di a lanmè a: “Fè silans, rete kalm!” Epi van an te vin bese e tan an te vini byen kalm.
And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace. Be still." And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Li te di yo: “Poukisa nou pè konsa? Jiska prezan, nou poko gen lafwa?”
And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
41 Yo te etone avèk laperèz e yo te di: “Ki moun sa ye ke menm van avèk dlo lanmè obeyi Li?”
And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
