Matye 22
1 Ankò Jésus te reponn yo e pale ak yo an parabòl. Li te di:
Yeshua answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
2 “Wayòm syèl la tankou yon wa ki fè yon fèt maryaj pou fis li.
“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
3 Li te voye esklav li yo deyò pou rele sila yo ki te envite nan fèt maryaj la, men yo pa t dakò vini.
and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
4 “Ankò li voye lòt esklav pou di: “Gade, mwen prepare anpil manje. Bèf avèk anpil lòt bèt gra gen tan fin kòche. Tout bagay prè. Vini nan fèt maryaj la.
Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’
5 “Men yo pa t okipe li. Yo fè wout yo. Youn ale nan chan li, yon lòt pou okipe afè l.
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
6 Konsa, rès yo te sezi esklav li yo, e te maltrete e touye yo.
and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 Lè wa a tande sa a, li te anraje. Li te voye lame li pou te detwi tout asasen sa yo, e te mete dife nan vil pa yo.
When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.
8 “Apre, li te di a esklav li yo: ‘Maryaj la prepare, men sila ki te envite yo pa dign.
“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
9 Pou sa, ale nan gran wout yo, epi tout sila nou twouve la yo, envite yo nan fèt maryaj la.’
Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
10 “Konsa, esklav sila yo te ale deyò nan lari yo pou te ranmase tout sa yo te twouve, ni mechan, ni bon, epi chan maryaj la te ranpli avèk moun envite yo.
Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
11 “Men lè wa a te vini pou wè sila ki te vini yo, li twouve yon nonm ki pa abiye avèk vètman maryaj la.
“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
12 Li te di li: ‘Zanmi m, kijan ou fè antre isit la san vètman maryaj la?’ Moun nan pa t kab menm pale.
and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
13 “Konsa, wa a te di a sèvitè yo: Mare men li avèk pye li, e jete li deyò nan fon tenèb. Nan plas sa a, va genyen gwo kriye avèk manje dan.
Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
14 Paske gen anpil moun k ap resevwa apèl la, men pa anpil moun kap chwazi.”
For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 Konsa, Farizyen yo te ale pran konsèy ansanm pou twouve kijan yo ta kab kenbe L nan pèlen pawòl ke Li te pale yo.
Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
16 Yo te voye disip pa yo ansanm avèk Ewodyen yo. Yo te di: “Mèt, nou konnen ke Ou bay verite, e enstwi chemen Bondye a ak verite, san patipri, paske Ou pa pran pati a pèsòn.
They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Rabbi, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.
17 Pou sa, di nou kisa Ou panse? Èske li pèmèt pou peye taks a César? Wi oubyen non?”
Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 Men Jésus te konprann mechanste yo. Li te reponn: “Poukisa nou ap tante M konsa? Ipokrit nou ye!
But Yeshua perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
19 Montre M kòb ke nou sèvi pou peye taks la.” Yo te pote bay Li yon denye.
Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
20 Li te mande yo: “Limaj avèk lenskripsyon a ki moun nou wè la a?”
He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
21 Yo reponn Li: “Se pou César”. Li te di yo: “Ebyen, bay a César sa ki pou César, e bay Bondye sa ki pou Bondye.”
They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 Lè yo tande sa, yo te etone e yo te kite Li ale.
When they heard it, they marvelled, and left him and went away.
23 Nan menm jou sa a, kèk nan Sadiseyen yo (ki di pa gen rezirèksyon) te vin kote L pou poze L kesyon.
On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
24 Yo te di: “Mèt, Moïse te di: ‘Si yon nonm mouri, li pa gen pitit, frè li, nan fanmi ki pi prè a va marye avèk madanm li, pou l elve yon Pitit pou frè li.’
saying, “Rabbi, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
25 Konsa, te gen sèt frè avèk nou. Premye a te marye. Li mouri san fè Pitit e li te kite madanm li pou frè l la.
Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
26 Konsa tou, dezyèm lan, twazyèm nan, jouk rive nan setyèm frè a.
In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 An dènye lye, fanm nan te mouri.
After them all, the woman died.
28 Konsa nan rezirèksyon an, se madanm a kilès l ap ye? Paske yo tout te genyen l.”
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
29 Men Jésus te reponn yo: “Nou twonpe nou. Nou pa konprann Ekriti Sen yo, ni pouvwa Bondye a.
But Yeshua answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Paske nan rezirèksyon an, yo pa marye, ni bay moun nan maryaj, men se kon zanj nan syèl yo.
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
31 Men konsènan rezirèksyon mò yo, nou pa t li sa ki te pale a nou pa Bondye lè Li di nou:
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 ‘Mwen menm se Bondye Abraham, Bondye Isaac, Bondye Jacob la’? Li menm pa Bondye a mò yo, men a sila ki vivan yo.”
‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33 Lè foul la te tande sa, yo te etone de jan Li te enstwi a.
When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 Men lè Farizyen yo te tande ke Li gen tan fè Sadiseyen yo sispann pale, yo te reyini ansanm.
But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
35 Youn nan yo, yon avoka, te kesyone L pou pase l a leprèv.
One of them, a Torah scholar, asked him a question, testing him.
36 “Mèt, kilès nan kòmandman nan Lalwa a ki pi gran?”
“Rabbi, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
37 Li te reponn li: “‘Ou va renmen Senyè a, Bondye ou avèk tout kè ou, avèk tout nanm ou, e avèk tout lespri ou’.
Yeshua said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 “Sa se premye e pi gran kòmandman an.
This is the first and great commandment.
39 Dezyèm nan se parèy a li menm: ‘Ou va renmen vwazen ou tankou tèt ou’.
A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’
40 “Sou de kòmandman sa yo depann tout Lalwa, avèk pwofèt yo.”
The whole Torah and the Prophets depend on these two commandments.”
41 Alò, pandan Farizyen yo te ansanm, Jésus te poze yo yon kesyon.
Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Yeshua asked them a question,
42 Li te mande yo: “Kisa nou panse de Kris la? Se Fis a kilès Li ye?” Yo te reponn Li: “Fis a David la”.
saying, “What do you think of the Messiah? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
43 Li te di yo: “Ebyen, ki jan konsa ke nan Lespri a, David te rele Li ‘Senyè’ lè li te di:
He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 “SENYÈ a di a Senyè mwen an, ‘Chita sou men dwat Mwen, jouk lè Mwen mete lènmi ou yo anba pye ou’?
‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
45 “Si David li menm rele Li ‘Senyè’, kijan Li fè kapab Pitit Li?”
“If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
46 Pèsòn pa t kapab reponn Li yon mo, ni yo pa t tante mande Li anyen depi jou sa a.
No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
