Matye 21
1 Lè yo te pwoche Jérusalem pou rive kote Bethphagé nan Mòn Oliv la, Jésus te voye de nan disip li yo,
And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 epi te di yo: “Ale nan vilaj anfas nou an, epi nou va twouve yon bourik ki mare la avèk pitit li. Demare yo, e mennen yo ban Mwen.
saying to them: Go into the village opposite to you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them to me.
3 Epi si yon moun di nou yon bagay, nou va di li konsa: ‘Senyè a gen bezwen yo’, epi lapoula, l ap voye yo.”
And if any one say any thing to you, you shall reply: The Lord has need of them: and he will immediately send them.
4 Tout sa te fèt pou sa ki te pale pa pwofèt la ta kapab akonpli, lè li te di:
All this was done, that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
5 “Pale a fi Sion an, Men gade, Wa ou ap vin kote ou, dou, e monte sou yon bourik, yon jenn bourik, Pitit a yon bèt ki pote chaj”.
Say you to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your king comes to you, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 Epi disip yo te ale fè tout sa Li te mande yo.
And the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them;
7 Konsa yo te mennen bourik la avèk Pitit li a e te mete vètman yo, epi konsa, sou vètman yo Li te chita.
and brought the ass and the colt, and put their mantles on them, and caused him to sit upon them.
8 Pifò nan foul la te plase vètman yo louvri sou wout la, e kèk lòt t ap koupe branch nan bwa yo pou plase sou wout la.
And a very great multitude spread their mantles in the road: and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the road.
9 Foul la ki te ale devan Li, ni sa ki te swiv Li t ap rele: “Ozana (Glwa a Bondye) a Fis a David la! Beni se Sila ki vini nan non Senyè a! Ozana nan pi wo a!”
And the multitudes that went before, and that followed after, cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David. Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
10 Lè Li te antre Jérusalem, tout vil la te byen boulvèse e t ap di: “Ki moun sa ye?”
And when he entered Jerusalem, all the city was moved, and said: Who is this?
11 Epi foul la t ap di: “Sa se pwofèt Jésus ki sòti Nazareth nan Galilée a”.
And the multitude said: This is Jesus the prophet, that is from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Jésus te antre nan tanp lan e te chase mete tout moun deyò ki t ap achte e vann nan tanp lan. Li te chavire tab a moun ki t ap chanje lajan yo, avèk chèz a moun ki t ap vann toutrèl yo.
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and drove out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold doves,
13 Li te di yo: “Li ekri: ‘Lakay Mwen an va rele yon kay pou lapriyè,’ men nou menm, nou fè li yon twou kachèt pou vòlè!”
and said to them: It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of robbers.
14 Avèg yo avèk bwate yo te vin kote L nan tanp lan, e Li te geri yo.
And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he cured them.
15 Men lè chèf prèt yo avèk skrib yo te wè tout mèvèy ke Li te fè yo, epi timoun nan tanp yo ki t ap kriye: “Ozana a Fis a David la!”, yo te ankòlè anpil.
But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, their anger was aroused,
16 Epi yo te di Li: “Ou pa tande kisa timoun sa yo ap di?” Jésus te reponn yo: “Wi, nou pa janm konn li ‘Nan bouch a timoun avèk ti bebe k ap tete yo, nou prepare lwanj pou Ou menm’”?
and they said to him: Do you not hear what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 Li te kite yo, e sòti pou ale nan vil Béthanie pou pase nwit lan.
And he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and there spent the night.
18 Alò nan maten, Li te retounen nan vil la. Li te vin grangou.
Now in the morning, as he was returning to the city, he was hungry:
19 Li te wè yon sèl pye fig frans akote wout la. Men lè L vin kote l, Li pa twouve anyen sof ke fèy yo. Konsa Li pale li: “Ou p ap janm gen fwi ki sòti sou ou ankò!” Epi lapoula, pye fig frans lan te vin fennen nèt. (aiōn g165)
and seeing a fig-tree on the road, he went to it, and found nothing on it but leaves; and he said to it: Let no fruit grow on you henceforth forever. And the fig-tree immediately withered. (aiōn g165)
20 Lè yo wè sa, disip yo te etone. Yo te di: “Kijan fig frans sa a fè vin fennen nan yon moman konsa?”
And when the disciples saw it, they were astonished, and said: How soon has the fig-tree withered!
21 Jésus te reponn e te di yo: “Anverite Mwen di nou: Si nou gen lafwa e nou pa doute, non sèlman n ap fè sa ki te fèt a fig frans lan, men menm si nou di a mòn sa a: ‘Leve ale jete ou nan lanmè’, sa va fèt.
Jesus answered and said to them: Verily I say to you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall do, not only what is done to the fig-tree, but even if you shall say to this mountain, Be taken up, and be thrown into the sea, it shall be done.
22 Epi tout sa nou mande nan lapriyè e kwè, nou va resevwa li.”
And all things that you ask for in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
23 Lè Li te fin antre nan tanp lan, chèf prèt yo avèk lansyen pami pèp la te vin kote L pandan Li t ap enstwi pou mande L: “Pa ki otorite Ou fè bagay sa yo? Se kilès ki te bay ou otorite sila a?”
And after he had come into the temple, the chief priests and elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said: By what authority do you these things? And who gave you this authority?
24 Jésus te reponn yo: “M ap mande nou yon bagay tou, e si nou reponn Mwen, M ap fè nou konnen pa ki otorite Mwen fè bagay sila yo.
Jesus answered and said to them: I also will ask you one thing, which if you will tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Batèm a Jean an, kibò li sòti? Èske sous li se syèl la, oubyen lòm?” Konsa, yo te kòmanse rezone pami yo menm. Yo te di: “Si nou di ‘syèl la’, L ap di nou ‘ebyen poukisa nou pa t kwè l?’
The immersion of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? But they reasoned among themselves, and said, If we reply, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?
26 Men si nou di ‘lòm’, nou pè foul la, paske yo tout kwè ke Jean te yon pwofèt.”
But if we reply, From men, we fear the multitude; for all regard John as a prophet.
27 Yo te reponn Jésus. Yo te di: “Nou pa konnen”. Li te reponn yo: “Ni Mwen menm p ap di nou pa ki otorite Mwen fè bagay sa yo.”
And they answered and said to Jesus: We know not. And he said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 “Men kisa nou panse? Yon nonm te gen de fis. Li te vini a premye a, e te di l: ‘Fis mwen, ale travay pou mwen jodi a nan chan rezen an.’”
But what think you? A man had two sons; and he went to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in my vineyard.
29 “Li te reponn: ‘M p ap prale’. Men, apre li te regrèt sa, e li te ale.
He answered and said, I will not. But he afterward regretted it, and went.
30 “Nonm nan te rive kote dezyèm nan, e te di menm bagay la. Men li menm te reponn, e te di: Avozòd! Men li pa t ale.
And he came to the other, and spoke to him in like manner. And he answered and said, I go, sir; and went not.
31 Kilès nan de fis sa yo ki te fè volonte a papa l?” Yo te reponn: “Premye a”. Jésus te di yo: “Anverite, Mwen di nou ke kolektè kontribisyon yo avèk fanm movèz vi yo va antre nan wayòm syèl la avan nou menm.
Which of the two did the will of his father? They said to him, The first. Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, The publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Paske Jean te vini a nou menm nan chemen ladwati, men nou pa t kwè li; men kolektè kontribisyon yo avèk fanm movèz vi yo te kwè li. Men nou menm ki te wè sa, nou pa t menm repanti lè l fin fèt pou nou ta kwè li.
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not. But the publicans and the harlots believed him. And you, when you had seen it, afterward felt no regret, that you might believe him.
33 “Koute yon lòt parabòl. Te gen yon mèt tè ki te plante yon chan rezen. Li te antoure li avèk yon miray. Li te fouye yon rezèvwa pou kraze rezen yo, e te bati yon tou ki wo. Li te antann demwatye ak kiltivatè yo, e te ale fè yon vwayaj.
Hear another parable: There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and rigged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went into another country.
34 “Lè lè rekòlt la te rive, li te voye esklav li yo jwenn kiltivatè yo pou resevwa pwodwi pa li a.
And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the vine-dressers to receive the fruits of it.
35 Konsa, kiltivatè yo te pran esklav li yo, te bat youn, te touye yon lòt, e yo te kalonnen twazyèm lan avèk kout wòch.
And the vine-dressers took his servants, and scourged one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 “Ankò lite voye yon lòt ekip esklav pi gran pase premye yo, e yo fè yo menm bagay la.
Again he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them in like manner.
37 “Men anfen, li te voye fis li a. Li te di: ‘Y ap respekte fis mwen an.’
But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 Men lè kiltivatè yo te wè fis la, yo te di pami yo, ‘Sa se eritye a. Vini, annou touye li epi sezi eritaj li a.’
But the vine-dressers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and seize upon the inheritance.
39 Konsa, yo te pran li, voye li deyò chan an e yo te touye li.”
And they took him, and carried him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 “Akoz sa, lè mèt teren an vini, kisa l ap fè avèk kiltivatè sa yo?”
Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-dressers?
41 Yo te di Li: “L ap mennen malveyan sa yo a yon move fen, epi li va lwe chan sa a bay lòt kiltivatè k ap peye li sa yo dwe yo nan pwòp lè yo.”
They said to him: He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and let out his vineyard to other vine-dressers, who will give him the fruits in their season.
42 Jésus te di yo: “Èske nou pa janm li nan Ekriti Sen yo, ‘Wòch ke sila ki t ap bati yo te rejte a, te devni wòch ang prensipal la. Sa te sòti nan Senyè a, e se te yon mèvèy nan zye nou.’?”
Jesus said to them: Did you never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner?
43 “Akoz sa Mwen di nou: Wayòm syèl la ap vin pran nan men nou pou plase bay yon nasyon k ap pwodwi fwi li.
This was from the Lord, and it is wondrous in our eyes. For this reason, I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation that will bring forth the fruits of it.
44 Epi sila ki tonbe sou wòch sila ap kraze an mòso, men sou sila ke li tonbe a, l ap gaye li tankou poud.”
And he that falls upon this stone shall be dashed to pieces; but him on whom it shall fall, it will make like chaff for the wind.
45 Lè chèf prèt ak Farizyen yo te tande parabòl Li yo, yo te konprann ke Li t ap pale de yo menm.
And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
46 Lè yo te chèche mwayen sezi Li, yo te krent foul la paske yo te konsidere Li kon yon pwofèt.
And when they sought to lay hold of him, they feared the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet.
