Matthew 12

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.

Kèk jou apre sa, Jezi t'ap pase nan yon jaden ble. Se te yon jou repo. Disip li yo te grangou. Se konsa yo pran keyi grap ble, yo t'ap manje grenn yo.

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

Lè farizyen yo wè sa, yo di l' konsa: Gade. Disip ou yo ap fè bagay lalwa nou pa pèmèt moun fè gwo jou repo.

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

Jezi reponn yo: Eske nou pa li sa David te fè yon jou li te grangou, li menm ak moun pa l' yo?

How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

Li antre nan kay Bondye a, li pran pen yo te ofri bay Bondye a, li manje. Dapre lalwa nou an, ni li menm David ni moun ki te avè l' yo pa t' gen dwa manje pen sa yo. Se prèt yo sèlman ki gen dwa sa a.

Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

Osinon, èske nou pa li sa ki ekri nan lalwa Moyiz la: Jou repo, prèt yo ki desèvis nan tanp lan pa respekte lalwa repo a, men yo pa koupab pou sa?

But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

Enben, m'ap di nou sa: Isit la, gen yon bagay ki pi konsekan pase tanp lan.

But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

Si nou te konnen sans pawòl sa yo ki nan Liv la: Mwen vle pou nou gen kè sansib, mwen pa bezwen ofrann bèt n'ap fè pou mwen yo, nou pa ta kondannen moun ki inonsan.

For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

Paske, mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, se mèt jou repo a mwen ye.

And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

Jezi kite kote l' te ye a, li antre nan yonn nan sinagòg yo.

And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

Te gen yon nonm ki te gen yon men pòk nan asanble a. Moun ki te la yo t'ap chache okasyon pou yo te ka di Jezi fè bagay ki mal. Se konsa yo mande l': Eske lalwa nou an pèmèt yo geri moun jou repo?

And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

Jezi reponn yo: Si yonn nan nou gen yon sèl mouton, si mouton sa a tonbe nan yon twou byen fon yon jou repo, èske li p'ap rale l' mete deyò?

How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

Bon. Eske yon moun pa vo pi plis pase yon mouton? Konsa nou wè, lalwa nou an pèmèt nou fè byen pou yon moun jou repo.

Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

Lè sa a, li di nonm lan: Lonje men ou. Nonm lan lonje men li. Latou, men an vin byen tankou lòt la.

Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

Farizyen yo soti nan sinagòg la, y al mete tèt yo ansanm pou wè ki jan pou yo fè touye Jezi.

But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

Men, lè Jezi vin konn sa, li kite kote l' te ye a. Yon gwo foul moun t'ap mache deyè li. Li geri tout moun malad yo.

And charged them that they should not make him known:

Men, li te pale sevè ak yo pou yo pa t' di ki moun li te ye.

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

Tou sa pase konsa, pou pawòl pwofèt Ezayi te di a te ka rive vre:

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

Bondye pale, li di konsa: Men sèvitè m' lan, se mwen menm ki chwazi li. Men moun mwen renmen anpil la. Li fè kè m' kontan anpil. m'a mete Lespri m' sou li, la fè tout nasyon yo konnen jijman mwen.

He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

Li p'ap diskite ak pèsonn, li p'ap rele sou pèsonn. Yo p'ap janm tande l' fè diskou nan lari.

A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

Li p'ap fin kase pye wozo ki panche a. Li p'ap tenyen lanp ki prèt pou mouri a. L'ap fè sa konsa, jouk tan li va fè jistis Bondye a kanpe nèt.

And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

Lè sa a, tout nasyon yo va mete espwa yo nan li.

Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

Apre sa, yo mennen yon nonm bay Jezi. Nonm lan pa t' ka wè, li pa t' ka pale, paske li te gen yon move lespri sou li. Jezi geri nonm lan. Lamenm, nonm lan pale, li wè.

And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

Foul moun yo te sezi anpil. Yo t'ap di: Nou pa kwè se pitit David la sa?

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

Lè farizyen yo tande sa, yo di: Si nou wè nonm sa a ap chase move lespri, se paske Bèlzeboul, chèf move lespri yo, ba l' pouvwa pou sa.

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

Men, Jezi te konnen sa ki te nan tèt yo, li di yo: Yon peyi ki gen divizyon ladan l', pou moun yo ap goumen yonn ak lòt, peyi sa a la pou l' disparèt. Si gen divizyon nan yon lavil osinon nan yon fanmi, pou moun yo ap fè lagè yonn ak lòt, ni lavil sa a, ni fanmi sa a pa la pou lontan.

And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

Si Satan ap chase moun ki pou li yo, Satan ap goumen ak pwòp tèt li. Pouvwa Satan an pa la pou lontan.

And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

Si se Bèlzeboul ki ban m' pouvwa pou chase move lespri, patizan nou yo, ak ki pouvwa yo menm yo chase move lespri? Se poutèt sa, se yo menm menm k'ap ban nou tò.

But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

Men, si se avek Lespri Bondye m'ap chase move lespri yo, sa vle di pouvwa Gouvènman Bondye ki wa a gen tan rive sou nou.

Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

Pesonn pa ka antre lakay yon nonm vanyan pou vòlò byen l' yo, si li pa mare nonm vanyan an anvan. Lè li fin mare l', se atò la kapab piye kay la.

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Moun ki pa avèk mwen, se kont mwen yo ye. Moun ki p'ap ede m' ranmase, se gaye y'ap gaye.

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Se poutèt sa, m'ap di nou: Bondye va padonnen moun tout peche yo va fè, tout move pawòl ki va soti nan bouch yo. Men, kanta moun ki va pale mal sou Sentespri a, pa gen padon pou yo.

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Moun ki pale mal sou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, y'a padonnen l'. Men, moun ki pale mal sou Sentespri a, li p'ap jwenn padon ni koulye a, ni nan tan k'ap vini apre sa a.

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

Si pyebwa a bon, l'ap bay bon donn. Si pyebwa a pa bon, li p'ap bay bon donn. Yo rekonèt kalite yon pyebwa sou donn li bay.

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Bann vèmen! nou twò mechan. Bon pawòl pa ka soti nan bouch nou. Sa ki nan kè yon moun, se sa ki soti nan bouch li.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

Yon nonm ki bon, se bon bagay ase li ka rale soti nan tou sa li genyen ki bon yo. Konsa tou, yon nonm ki mechan, se move bagay ase li ka rale soti nan tou sa li genyen ki move yo.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

M'ap di nou sa: Jou jijman an, moun gen pou rann kont pou tout pawòl yo di yo pa t' bezwen di.

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Paske, se dapre pawòl ou y'a jije ou: Se pawòl ou k'ap di si ou inonsan, osinon si ou koupab.

Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

Lè sa a, kèk dirèktè lalwa ansanm ak kèk farizyen pran lapawòl. Yo di Jezi: Mèt, nou ta renmen wè ou fè yon mirak pou moutre se Bondye ki ba ou pouvwa sa a.

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

Jezi reponn yo: Moun alèkile yo, atout yo mechan, atout yo vire do bay Bondye, men y'ap mande mirak! Men, yo p'ap jwenn lòt mirak pase mirak pwofèt Jonas la.

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Menm jan Jonas te pase twa jou twa nwit nan vant gwo pwason an, konsa tou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a gen pou pase twa jou twa nwit anba tè.

The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

Jou jijman an, moun lavil Neniv yo va leve kanpe, y'a fè kondannen moun alèkile yo. Paske yo menm, yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye lè Jonas te fè yo konnen mesaj li a. Men, isit la gen bagay ki pi konsekan pase Jonas.

The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

Jou jijman an, larenn peyi ki nan sid la va leve kanpe, la fè yo kondannen moun alèkile yo. Paske, li te soti byen lwen, jouk nan dènye bout latè, pou l' te vin tande bèl pawòl bon konprann Salomon yo. Men, isit la gen bagay ki pi konsekan pase Salomon.

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

Lè yon move lespri soti sou yon moun, li al pwonmennen toupatou nan savann yo, l'ap chache yon kote pou l' pran repo. Men, li pa jwenn.

Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

Lè sa a, li di nan kè l': M'ap tounen lakay mwen, kote m' soti a. Lè l' rive, li jwenn nonm lan tankou yon kay ki vid, men byen bale, byen ranje.

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

Lè konsa, li ale, li pran sèt lòt lespri ki pi move pase l', lespri yo vin ansanm avè l', yo antre nan kay la, yo rete. Lè sa a, kondisyon moun lan vin pi mal pase jan l' te ye anvan an. Enben, se sa ki pral rive move moun k'ap viv alèkile yo.

While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

Jezi t'ap pale ak foul moun yo toujou lè manman l' ak frè l' yo vin rive. Yo rete deyò, yo t'ap chache yon jan pou yo te pale avè l'.

Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

Se konsa yon moun di Jezi: Men manman ou ak frè ou yo deyò a. Yo ta renmen pale avè ou.

But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

Men Jezi reponn moun ki te di l' sa a: Kilès ki manman m'? Kilès ki frè m'?

And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

Lè sa a, li lonje men l' sou disip li yo, li di: Gade non: men manman m' ak frè m' yo.

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Tout moun ki fè sa Papa m' ki nan syèl la mande pou yo fè, se moun sa yo ki frè m', ki sè m', ki manman m'.
