Matye 10
1 Jésus te rele douz disip li yo. Li te bay yo pouvwa sou move lespri yo, pou chase yo deyò, e pou geri tout kalite enfimite avèk maladi.
Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them power to throw out evil spirits, and to heal all kinds of diseases and sicknesses.
2 Alò, non a douz apot yo te konsa: Premye a, Simon, ke yo rele Pierre, André, frè li, Jacques, fis a Zébédée, Jean, frè li,
These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, (also called Peter), Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee, John his brother,
3 Philippe ak Barthélèmy; Thomas ak Matthieu ki te kolektè kontribisyon an, Jacques, fis Alphée a, ak Thaddée;
Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew the tax-collector, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus,
4 Simon, Zelòt la ak Judas Iscariot, sila ki te trayi Jésus a.
Simon the revolutionary, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
5 Douz sila yo Jésus te voye lè Li te fin enstwi yo konsa: “Pa antre nan chemen payen yo, ni pa antre nan okenn vil ki pou Samariten yo,
These Twelve Jesus sent out, telling them, “Don't go to the foreigners, or to any Samaritan city.
6 Men pito ale vè mouton ki pèdi lakay Israël yo.
You are to go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Pandan n ap prale, preche epi di: ‘Wayòm syèl la prèt pou rive.’
Wherever you go, tell the people, ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’
8 Geri malad yo, leve mò yo, pirifye lepre yo, chase move lespri yo. Nou te resevwa gratis, nou mèt bay gratis.
Heal those who are sick. Resurrect the dead. Cure the lepers. Drive out demons. You received freely, so give freely!
9 Nou pa pou pran ni lò, ni lajan ni kwiv pou mete nan bous senti nou,
Don't carry any gold, silver, or copper coins in your pockets,
10 Ni yon sak pou vwayaj nou, pa menm de chemiz, ni sapat, ni baton; paske yon ouvriye merite soutyen li.
or a bag for your journey, or two cloaks, or sandals, or a walking stick, for a worker deserves to be supported.
11 “Nan nenpòt vil oubyen bouk ke nou antre, mande kilès ki gen merit nan li, epi ak li pou nou rete jis lè nou kite vil sa a.
Wherever you go, whatever town or village, ask for someone who lives according to good principles, and remain there until you leave.
12 Pandan n ap antre nan kay la, bay li salitasyon nou.
When you enter the house, give it your blessing.
13 Epi si kay la gen merit, ke benediksyon lapè nou rete sou li, men si li pa gen merit, ke benediksyon lapè nou retounen sou nou.
If the home deserves it, let your peace rest on it, but if it doesn't deserve it, let your peace return to you.
14 Nenpòt moun ki pa resevwa nou, ni pa okipe pawòl nou, lè nou kite kay sa a, oubyen vil sa a, souke pye nou pou pousyè li pa rete.
If someone doesn't welcome you, and refuses to listen to what you have to say, then leave that house or that town, shaking its dust off your feet as you go.
15 Anverite Mwen di nou, l ap pi tolerab pou peyi Sodome ak Gomorrhe nan jou jijman an pase vil sa a.”
I tell you the truth, it will be better for Sodom and Gomorrah at the Day of Judgment than for that town!
16 Veye byen, Mwen voye nou tankou mouton nan mitan lou. Konsa, se pou nou saj kon sèpan, men inosan kon toutrèl.
Look, I'm sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
17 Men veye lèzòm, y ap livre nou devan tribinal yo, e y ap bat nou ak fwèt nan sinagòg yo.
Watch out for those who will hand you over to be tried by town councils and will whip you in their synagogues.
18 Konsa, y ap menm fè nou vini devan ofisye ak wa yo pou non Mwen, kon yon temwayaj de yo menm ak lòt nasyon yo.
You will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, to witness to them and to the foreigners.
19 Men lè yo livre nou nan men yo, pa enkyete pou sa n ap di; paske nou va resevwa nan lè sa, sa nou gen pou nou pale.
But when they put you on trial, don't worry about how you should speak or what you should say, because you'll be told what to say at the right time.
20 Paske se pa nou menm k ap pale, men se Lespri Papa nou an k ap pale nan nou.
For it isn't you who will speak but the spirit of the Father will speak through you.
21 Frè va livre frè l a lanmò, e papa va livre Pitit li. Zanfan yo ap leve kont paran yo e fè mete yo a lanmò.
Brother will betray brother and have him killed, and a father will do the same to his child. Children will rebel against their parents, and have them put to death.
22 Nou va rayi pa tout moun akoz non Mwen, men sila ki reziste jiska lafen an ap sove.
Everyone will hate you because you follow me, but those who endure until the end will be saved.
23 Men nenpòt lè ke yo pèsekite nou nan yon vil, sove ale nan yon lòt. Paske anverite Mwen di nou, nou p ap gen tan fin pase nan tout vil Israël yo, pou lè Fis a Lòm nan vini.
When you're persecuted in one town, run away to the next. I'm telling the truth: you won't finish going to the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.
24 Yon disip pa pi wo pase enstriktè li, ni yon esklav pase mèt li.
Disciples are not more important than their teacher; servants are not more important than their master.
25 Se kont pou yon disip pou li vini menm jan avèk enstriktè li, e yon esklav menm jan ak mèt li. Si yo rele mèt kay la Béelzébul, konbyen anplis pou yo kalomye manm kay li yo!
Disciples should be satisfied to become like their teacher, and servants like their master. If the head of the house has been called the head demon Beelzebub, then the members of his household will be demonized even more!
26 Pou sa, pa pè yo; paske pa gen anyen ki kouvri ki p ap dekouvri, e kache ki p ap revele.
So don't be frightened of them, for there's nothing covered that won't be exposed, and nothing hidden that won't be made known.
27 Sa ke Mwen di nou nan tenèb, pale li nan plen limyè, e sa ke nou tande yo chikote nan zòrèy nou, pwoklame li sou twati kay la.
What I tell you here in the dark, declare when it's light, and what you hear whispered in your ear, shout from the rooftops.
28 Epi pa pè sa ki kapab touye kò a men ki pa ka touye nanm nan. Men pito pè sila ki kapab detwi ni nanm nan, ni kò a nan lanfè. (Geenna g1067)
Don't be afraid of those who can kill you physically, but can't kill you spiritually. Instead, be afraid of the one who can destroy you physically and spiritually in the fires of destruction. (Geenna g1067)
29 Èske yo pa vann de zwazo pou yon santim? Malgre sa, pa gen youn nan yo k ap tonbe atè san ke Papa nou pa konnen.
Aren't two sparrows sold for just one penny? But not a single one of them falls to the ground without your Father knowing about it.
30 Men menm chak ti grenn cheve nan tèt nou gen tan kontwole.
Even the hairs on your head have all been counted.
31 Konsa, nou pa bezwen pè. Nou gen bokou plis valè pase anpil zwazo.
So don't worry—you're worth more than many sparrows!
32 Pou sa, tout moun ki konfese M devan lòm, Mwen menm osi, M ap konfese l devan Papa m ki nan syèl la.
Anyone who publicly declares their commitment to me, I will also declare my commitment to them before my Father in heaven.
33 Men nenpòt moun ki renye m devan lòm, M ap renye l devan papa M ki nan syèl la.
But anyone who publicly denies me, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.
34 Pa sipoze ke Mwen vini pou pote lapè sou latè. Mwen pa t vini pou pote lapè, men nepe.
Don't think I've come to bring peace on earth. I haven't come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 Mwen te vini pou mete yon nonm kont papa li, yon fi kont manman li, e yon bèlfi kont bèlmè Li.
I've come ‘to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 Epi lènmi a yon nonm ap manm a pwòp kay li.
Your enemies will be those of your own family!’
37 Sila ki renmen papa li oubyen manman li plis ke Mwen, li pa dign de Mwen; e sila ki renmen fis li, oubyen fi li plis ke Mwen, li pa dign de Mwen.
If you love your father or mother more than me you don't deserve to be mine, and if you love your son or daughter more than me you don't deserve to be mine.
38 Epi sila ki pa pran kwa li pou swiv Mwen, li pa merite Mwen.
If you don't pick up your cross and follow me you don't deserve to be mine.
39 Sila k ap konsève lavi li, li va pèdi li; men sila ki pèdi vi li pou Mwen, l ap twouve li.
If you try to save your life, you will lose it, but if you lose your life because of me you will save it.
40 Sila ki resevwa nou menm, resevwa M; e si la ki resevwa Mwen, resevwa Sila ki te voye Mwen an.
Those who welcome you welcome me, and those who welcome me welcome the one that sent me.
41 Sila ki resevwa yon pwofèt nan non a yon pwofèt ap resevwa rekonpans a yon pwofèt. Epi li ki resevwa yon nonm ladwati nan non a yon nonm ladwati, va resevwa rekonpans la a yon nonm dwat.
Those who welcome a prophet because that's what they are will receive the same reward as a prophet. Those who welcome someone who does right will receive the same reward as someone who does right.
42 Nenpòt moun ki nan non a yon disip, bay youn nan pitit sa yo menm yon tas dlo frèt pou bwe; anverite, Mwen di nou li pa p pèdi rekonpans li.
I tell you the truth, those who give a drink of cool water to the least important of my disciples will definitely not miss out on their reward.”
