Matye 3
1 Alò, nan jou sa yo, Jean Baptiste te vin parèt. Li t ap preche nan gran savann Judée a, e li t ap di:
And in those dayes, Iohn the Baptist came and preached in the wildernes of Iudea,
2 “Repanti paske Wayòm Syèl la gen tan parèt.”
And said, Repent: for the kingdome of heauen is at hand.
3 Paske sila a se de li menm ke pwofèt Esaïe te pale a lè l te di: “Men vwa a youn k ap kriye nan savann nan, Prepare chemen Bondye a! Fè chemen Li yo dwat”!
For this is he of whome it is spoken by the Prophet Esaias, saying, The voyce of him that crieth in the wildernes, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make his pathes straight.
4 Alò, Jean li menm te gen yon rad fèt avèk pwal chamo avèk yon sentiwon fèt an kwi nan senti li. Li te konn manje krikèt avèk siwo myèl sovaj.
And this Iohn had his garment of camels heare, and a girdle of a skinne about his loynes: his meate was also locusts and wilde hony.
5 Jérusalem avèk tout Judée t ap vin kote l, avèk tout zòn ozanviwon Jourdain an.
Then went out to him Ierusalem and all Iudea, and all the region rounde about Iordan.
6 Yo t ap batize pa li menm nan lariviyè Jourdain an pandan yo t ap konfese peche yo.
And they were baptized of him in Iordan, confessing their sinnes.
7 Men lè li te wè anpil Farizyen avèk Sadiseyen ki t ap vini pou batèm nan, li te di yo: “Men yon bann vipè; kilès ki te di nou chape anba kòlè k ap vini an?
Now when he sawe many of the Pharises, and of the Sadduces come to his baptisme, he said vnto them, O generations of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flee from the anger to come?
8 Pou sa, pote yon fwi ki dign de repantans lan.
Bring foorth therefore fruite worthy amendment of life.
9 Pa sipoze ke nou kapab di pwòp tèt nou: ‘Nou gen Abraham kòm papa’. Paske m ap di nou ke Bondye kapab fè leve soti nan wòch sa yo, pitit Abraham yo.
And thinke not to say with your selues, We haue Abraham to our father: for I say vnto you, that God is able euen of these stones to raise vp children vnto Abraham.
10 Rach la tou parèt nan rasin bwa yo; konsa, tout ab ki pa pote bon fwi va koupe pou jete nan lanfè.” (questioned)
And now also is the axe put to the roote of the trees: therfore euery tree which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewen downe, and cast into ye fire.
11 “Pou mwen menm, m ap batize nou avèk dlo pou repantans, men sila a k ap vini aprè mwen an pi fò pase m. Mwen pa menm dign pou m retire sandal Li yo. Li menm L ap batize nou avèk Lespri Sen an, epi avèk dife.
In deede I baptize you with water to amendment of life, but he that commeth after me, is mightier then I, whose shoes I am not worthie to beare: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, and with fire.
12 Fouch vannen an deja nan men Li. L ap netwaye glasi a nèt e mete tout ble yo nan depo, men L ap brile tout pay la avèk yon dife ki p ap kapab etenn.”
Which hath his fanne in his hand, and wil make cleane his floore, and gather his wheate into his garner, but will burne vp the chaffe with vnquenchable fire.
13 Nan lè sa a, Jésus te rive soti Galilée toupre larivyè Jourdain an. Li te vin kote Jean pou L ta kapab batize.
Then came Iesus from Galile to Iordan vnto Iohn, to be baptized of him.
14 Men Jean te eseye anpeche Li. Li te di: “Mwen bezwen batize pa Ou menm, men Ou vin kote mwen?”
But Iohn earnestly put him backe, saying, I haue neede to be baptized of thee, and commest thou to me?
15 Men Jésus te reponn li. Li te di l: “Kite sa fèt nan moman sa a; paske se konsa li dwe fèt pou nou kapab akonpli tout ladwati.” Konsa li te kite sa fèt.
Then Iesus answering, saide to him, Let be nowe: for thus it becommeth vs to fulfill all righteousnes. So he suffered him.
16 Aprè Jésus te batize, Li te soti tou dwat nan dlo a, e lapoula syèl yo te vin louvri. Li te wè Lespri Bondye a desann kon yon toutrèl e vin poze sou Li.
And Iesus when hee was baptized, came straight out of the water. And lo, the heaues were opened vnto him, and Iohn saw the Spirit of God descending like a doue, and lighting vpon him.
17 Epi yon vwa ki te soti nan syèl yo te di: “Sa se Fis byeneme Mwen an, e nan Li menm, Mwen pran plezi.”
And loe, a voyce came from heauen, saying, This is my beloued Sonne, in whome I am well pleased.
