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 went on to say, "In solemn truth I tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God already come in 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.
Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and brought them alone, apart from the rest, up a high mountain; and in their presence His appearance underwent a change.
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 also became dazzling with brilliant whiteness--such whiteness as no bleaching on earth could give.
4 Konsa, Élie ak Moïse te parèt devan yo ansanm, e yo t ap pale avèk Jésus.
Moreover there appeared to them Elijah accompanied by Moses; and the two 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.”
when Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, 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 to say: they were filled with such awe.
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!”
Then there came a cloud spreading over them, and a voice issued from the cloud, "This is my Son, dearly loved: listen to Him."
8 Nan menm moman sa a, yo te gade toupatou e pa t wè pèsòn avèk yo ankò, sof ke Jésus sèl.
Instantly they looked round, and now they could no longer see any one, but themselves and Jesus.
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 were coming down from the mountain, He very strictly forbad them to tell any one what they had seen "until after the Son of Man has risen from among 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”.
So they kept the matter to themselves, although frequently asking one another what was meant by the rising from the dead.
11 Yo te mande Li: “Poukisa skrib yo di ke Élie oblije vini avan an?”
They also asked Him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
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?
"Elijah," He replied, "does indeed come first and reforms everything; but how is it that it is written of the Son of Man that He will endure much suffering and be held in contempt?
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.”
Yet I tell you that not only has Elijah come, but they have also done to him whatever they chose, as the Scriptures say about him."
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.
As they came to rejoin the disciples, they saw an immense crowd surrounding them and a party of Scribes disputing with them.
15 Imedyatman, lè tout foul la te wè Li, yo te etone, e yo te kouri vini salye Li.
Immediately the whole multitude on beholding Him were astonished and awe-struck, and yet they ran forward and greeted Him.
16 E Li te mande yo: “Kisa nou ap diskite avèk yo la a?”
"What is the subject you are discussing?" He asked 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;
"Rabbi," answered one of the crowd, "I have brought you my son. He has a dumb spirit in him;
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 wherever it comes upon him, it dashes him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I begged your disciples to expel it, but they had not the power."
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!”
"O unbelieving generation!" replied Jesus; "how long must I be with you? how long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy 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.
So they brought him to Jesus. And the spirit, when he saw Jesus, immediately threw the youth into convulsions, so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
21 Jésus te mande papa li: “Depi kilè bagay sa a konn rive li?” Li te di: “Depi li timoun.
Then Jesus asked the father, "How long has he been like this?" "From early childhood," he said;
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 into the fire or into pools of water to destroy him. But, if you possibly can, have pity on us and help us."
23 Jésus te di li: “Si Ou kapab? Tout bagay posib pou sila a ki kwè a.”
"'If I possibly can!'" replied Jesus; "why, everything is possible to him who believes."
24 Konsa, papa a tigason an te kriye fò e te di: “Mwen kwè; ede enkredilite Mwen an.”
Immediately the father cried out, "I do believe: strengthen my weak 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.”
Then Jesus, seeing that an increasing crowd was running towards Him, rebuked the foul spirit, and said to it, "Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter into him again."
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!”
So with a loud cry he threw the boy into fit after fit, and came out. The boy looked as if he were dead, so that most of them said he was dead;
27 Men Jésus te pran li pa men li, te leve l, e Li te kanpe.
but Jesus took his hand and raised him up, and he stood on his feet.
28 Lè Li te vini nan kay la, disip Li yo te kòmanse kesyone Li an prive: “Poukisa nou pa t kapab chase l?”
After the return of Jesus to the house His disciples asked Him privately, "How is it that we could not expel the spirit?"
29 Li te di yo: “Kalite sila a p ap kab sòti pa anyen, sof ke lapriyè.”
"An evil spirit of this kind," He answered, "can only be driven out by prayer."
30 Depi la yo te ale pase nan tout Galilée, e Li pa t vle ke pèsòn konnen anyen sou sa.
Departing thence they passed through Galilee, and He was unwilling that any one 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 teaching His disciples, and telling them, "The Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and after being put to death, in three days He will rise to life again."
32 Men yo pa t konprann pawòl sila a, e yo te pè mande L.
They, however, did not understand what He meant, and were afraid to question 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?”
So they came to Capernaum; and when in the house He asked them, "What were you arguing about on 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 remained silent; for on the way they had debated with one another who was the chief of them.
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 sitting down He called the Twelve, and said to them, "If any one wishes to be first, he must be last of all and 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 taking a young child He made him stand in their midst, then threw His arms round him and said,
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.”
"Whoever for my sake receives one such young child as this, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not so much me as 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.”
"Rabbi," said John to Him, "we saw a man making use of your name to expel demons, and we tried to hinder him, on the ground that he did 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.
"You should not have tried to hinder him," replied Jesus, "for there is no one who will use my name to perform a miracle and be able the next minute to speak evil of me.
40 Paske sila ki pa kont nou an, li pou nou.
He who is not against us is for us;
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.
and whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, I solemnly tell you that he will certainly 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.
"And whoever shall occasion the fall of one of these little ones who believe, he would be better off if, with a millstone round his neck, he were lying at the bottom of 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)
If your hand should cause you to sin, cut it off: it would be better for you to enter into Life maimed, than remain in possession of both your hands and go away into Gehenna, into the fire which cannot be put out. (Geenna g1067)
44 ‘kote vè pa mouri, e dife pa janm etenn.’
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)
Or if your foot should cause you to sin, cut it off: it would be better for you to enter into Life crippled, than remain in possession of both your feet and be thrown into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
46 kote vè pa mouri, e dife pa janm etenn.
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)
Or if your eye should cause you to sin, tear it out. It would be better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God half-blind than remain in possession of two eyes and be thrown into Gehenna, (Geenna g1067)
48 Kote vè pa mouri, e dife pa janm etenn.
where their worm does not die and the fire does not go out.
49 “Paske tout moun va vin sale ak dife, e chak sakrifis ap sizonnen ak sèl.
Every one, however, will be salted with fire.
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 a good thing, but if the salt should become tasteless, what will you use to give it saltness? Have salt within you and live at peace with one another."
