Mak 9
1 Jésus te di yo: “Anverite Mwen di nou, gen kèk moun nan sila ki kanpe la yo ki p ap goute lanmò jouk lè yo fin wè wayòm Bondye a rive avèk pouvwa.”
He added, Indeed, I say to you, there are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Reign of God ushered in with power.
2 Sis jou pita, Jésus te pran avè L, Pierre, Jacques, avèk Jean, e te mennen yo sou yon mòn wo pou kont yo. La, devan yo, Li te transfòme nan yon lòt fòm.
After six days, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, apart to the top of a high mountain, and was transfigured in their presence.
3 Rad Li yo te vin klere jis yo blanchi nèt, blanch kon okenn moun k ap fè lesiv nan mond sa a, pa t janm kab fè.
His garments became glittering, and were like snow, of such whiteness as no fuller on the earth could imitate.
4 Konsa, Élie ak Moïse te parèt devan yo ansanm, e yo t ap pale avèk Jésus.
There appeared to them also Elijah and Moses, who were conversing with Jesus.
5 Pierre te reponn pou di Jésus: “Mèt, se bon pou nou isit la; annou fè twa tabènak, youn pou Ou, youn pou Moïse, e youn pou Élie.”
Then Peter said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to stay here: let us make three booths, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah;
6 Paske li pa t konnen ki repons pou bay, akoz kè yo te plen avèk laperèz.
for he knew not what he said, they were so terrified.
7 Konsa, yon nwaj te fòme ki te vin mete yo nan fon lonbraj, e yon vwa te vin sòti nan nwaj la, “Sa se Fis Mwen; koute Li!”
And there came a cloud which covered them; and out of the cloud issued a voice, which said, This is my Son, the beloved: hear him.
8 Nan menm moman sa a, yo te gade toupatou e pa t wè pèsòn avèk yo ankò, sof ke Jésus sèl.
And instantly, looking about, they saw no person but Jesus and themselves.
9 Pandan yo t ap desann mòn nan, Li te bay yo lòd pou pa di pèsòn sa yo te wè a, jouk lè ke Fis a Lòm nan ta leve soti nan lanmò.
As they went down from the mountain, he charged them not to relate to any person what they had seen, till the Son of Man was risen from the dead.
10 Yo te reflechi anpil sou pawòl sa a, e te diskite youn avèk lòt sou sa sa vle di: “leve soti nan lanmò an”.
And they took notice of that expression, and inquired among themselves what the rising from the dead could mean.
11 Yo te mande Li: “Poukisa skrib yo di ke Élie oblije vini avan an?”
Then they asked him, saying, Why do the scribes affirm that Elijah must come first?
12 Li te di yo: “Élie vrèman ap vini avan pou restore tout bagay. Men poukisa li ekri sou Fis a Lòm nan ke Li va soufri anpil bagay, e vin meprize?
He answered, Elijah, to consummate the whole, must come first; and, (as it is written of the Son of Man, ) must likewise suffer many things and be contemned.
13 Men Mwen di nou Élie vrèman gen tan vini, e yo te fè l sa ke yo te pito, jan ke sa ekri sou li a.”
But I tell you, that Elijah too is come, as was predicted, and they have treated him as they pleased.
14 Lè yo te retounen kote disip yo, yo te wè yon gwo foul ki te antoure yo, e kèk skrib ki t ap diskite avèk yo.
When he returned to the other disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and some scribes disputing with them.
15 Imedyatman, lè tout foul la te wè Li, yo te etone, e yo te kouri vini salye Li.
As soon as the people saw him, they were all struck with awe, and ran to salute him.
16 E Li te mande yo: “Kisa nou ap diskite avèk yo la a?”
And he asked the scribes, About what do you dispute with them?
17 Epi yon moun nan foul la te reponn Li: “Mèt, mwen te pote bay Ou fis Mwen an, ki gen yon move lespri ki fè l bèbè;
One of the people answering, said, Rabbi, I have brought you my son, who has a dumb spirit;
18 epi lè li sezi l, li voye li atè. Li kimen nan bouch e manje dan l; kò li vin tou rèd. Mwen te pale disip Ou yo pou chase l, men yo pa t kapab.”
and wheresoever it seizes him, it dashes him on the ground, where he continues foaming, and grinding his teeth, till his strength is exhausted. And I spoke to your disciples to expel the demon, but they were not able.
19 Konsa, Li te reponn yo e te di: “O jenerasyon enkredil, pou konbyen de tan ankò M ap avèk nou? Konbyen de tan ankò M ap sipòte nou? Fè l vin kote Mwen!”
Jesus then said, O unbelieving generation! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring him to me.
20 Yo te pote gason an kote Li. E lè li te wè L, lapoula lespri a te jete li nan yon gwo kriz. Li te tonbe atè, te kòmanse woule toupatou e kimen nan bouch.
Accordingly they brought him: and no sooner did he see him, than the spirit threw him into convulsions, so that he foamed, and rolled upon the ground.
21 Jésus te mande papa li: “Depi kilè bagay sa a konn rive li?” Li te di: “Depi li timoun.
Jesus asked the father, How long is it since this first befell him? He answered, From his infancy;
22 Souvan li konn voye li ni nan dlo, ni nan dife pou l detwi l. Men si Ou kapab fè yon bagay, gen pitye pou nou, e ede nou!”
and often it has thrown him both into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have compassion upon us and help us.
23 Jésus te di li: “Si Ou kapab? Tout bagay posib pou sila a ki kwè a.”
Jesus replied, If you can believe; all things are practicable for him who believes.
24 Konsa, papa a tigason an te kriye fò e te di: “Mwen kwè; ede enkredilite Mwen an.”
The boy's father, crying out immediately, said with tears, I believe; Master, supply the defects of my faith.
25 Lè Jésus te wè yon foul moun t ap rasanble, Li te reprimande move lespri a. Li te di L: “Ou menm lespri soud e bèbè, Mwen kòmande ou, sòti nan li, e pa antre nan li ankò.”
When Jesus saw that the people came crowding upon him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Dumb and deaf spirit, come out of him, I command you, and enter no more into him.
26 Lè lespri a fin kriye fò, e jete li nan gwo kriz tèrib, li te sòti. Ti gason an te tèlman parèt kon yon kadav, ki te fè pi fò nan yo te di: “Li mouri!”
Then, having cried aloud and severely convulsed him, it came out, and he appeared as one dead, insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 Men Jésus te pran li pa men li, te leve l, e Li te kanpe.
But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 Lè Li te vini nan kay la, disip Li yo te kòmanse kesyone Li an prive: “Poukisa nou pa t kapab chase l?”
When Jesus was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we expel the demon?
29 Li te di yo: “Kalite sila a p ap kab sòti pa anyen, sof ke lapriyè.”
He answered, This kind can not be dislodged unless by prayer and fasting.
30 Depi la yo te ale pase nan tout Galilée, e Li pa t vle ke pèsòn konnen anyen sou sa.
Having left that place, they pass through Galilee; and he was desirous that no person should know it,
31 Paske Li t ap enstwi disip Li yo e t ap di yo: “Fis a Lòm nan va livre nan men a lèzòm, e yo va touye Li. Epi lè Li fin touye, L ap resisite ankò twa jou pita.”
for he was instructing his disciples. And he said to them, The Son of Man will soon be delivered into the hands of men, who will kill him; and after he is killed, he will rise again the third day.
32 Men yo pa t konprann pawòl sila a, e yo te pè mande L.
But they understood not what he meant, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Yo te vini Capernaüm, e lè Li te nan kay la, Li te kòmanse kesyone yo: “De kisa nou t ap diskite nan wout la?”
When he was come to Capernaum, being in the house, he asked them, What were you debating amongst yourselves by the way?
34 Men yo te rete an silans; paske nan wout la, yo t ap diskite de kilès nan yo ki te pi gran.
But they were silent; for they had debated amongst themselves by the way, who should be greatest.
35 Lè Li te fin chita, Li te rele douz yo, e Li te di yo: “Si yon moun vle premye, li va dènye de tout moun, e vin sèvitè a tout moun.”
Then having sat down, he called the twelve, and said to them, If any man would be first, he shall be the last of all, and the servant of all.
36 Li te pran yon timoun, e te fè l chita devan yo. Epi lè L pran li nan bra Li, Li te di yo:
And he took a child, and placed him in the midst of them, and holding him in his arms, said to them,
37 “Nenpòt moun ki resevwa yon timoun tankou sila a nan non pa M, resevwa M; e nenpòt moun ki resevwa M, li pa resevwa Mwen, men Sila ki voye Mwen an.”
Whosoever shall receive one such child on my account, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him who sent me.
38 Jean te di Li: “Mèt, nou te wè yon moun ki t ap chase move lespri yo nan non Ou, e nou te eseye fè l sispann, paske li pa t ap swiv nou.”
Then John said to him, Rabbi, we saw one expelling demons in your name, who follows not us, and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.
39 Men Jésus te di: “Pa anpeche li, paske pa gen moun k ap fè yon mirak nan non Mwen, e apre byen vit ki ka pale mal de Mwen.
Jesus answered, Forbid him not; for there is none that works a miracle in my name, that can readily speak evil of me.
40 Paske sila ki pa kont nou an, li pou nou.
For whosoever is not against you is for you.
41 Paske nenpòt moun ki bay nou yon tas dlo pou bwè akoz nou nan Kris yo, anverite Mwen di nou, li p ap pèdi rekonpans li.
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink on my account, because you are Christ's; indeed, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 “Nenpòt moun ki fè youn nan pitit sa yo ki kwè vin chape tonbe, li t ap pi bon pou li si yo te mete yon gwo wòch moulen nan kou li, e jete l nan lanmè.
But whoever shall ensnare any of the little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were fastened to his neck, and that he were thrown into the sea.
43 “Si men nou fè nou chape tonbe, koupe l nèt; li pi bon pou nou ta antre nan lavi kokobe, pase avèk de men, pou nou ta jete nan twou san fon an, nan lanfè ki “pa kapab etenn nan, (Geenna g1067)
Moreover, if your hand ensnare you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter maimed into life, than having two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire; (Geenna g1067)
44 ‘kote vè pa mouri, e dife pa janm etenn.’
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
45 “E si pye nou fè nou chape tonbe, koupe li nèt; li pi bon pou nou antre nan lavi bwete, pase genyen tou de pye nou, e vin jete nan lanfè, (Geenna g1067)
And if your foot ensnare you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter lame into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the unquenchable fire; (Geenna g1067)
46 kote vè pa mouri, e dife pa janm etenn.
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
47 “Si zye nou fè nou chape tonbe, retire li jete; li pi bon pou nou antre nan wayòm Bondye a avèk yon sèl zye, pase jete nan lanfè avèk de zye. (Geenna g1067)
And if your eye ensnare you, pull it out; it is better for you to enter one-eyed into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire; (Geenna g1067)
48 Kote vè pa mouri, e dife pa janm etenn.
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
49 “Paske tout moun va vin sale ak dife, e chak sakrifis ap sizonnen ak sèl.
For every one shall be seasoned with fire; as every sacrifice is seasoned with salt.
50 “Disèl la bon, men si disèl la vin pèdi gou, kilès k ap fè l gen gou sèl ankò. Fòk nou gen sèl nan nou, e rete anpè youn avèk lòt.”
Salt is good; but if the salt become tasteless, with what will you season it? Preserve salt in yourselves, and maintain peace with one another.
