Matthew 13

The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

Menm jou sa a, Jezi soti nan kay la, li al chita bò lanmè a.

And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

Te sitèlman gen moun sanble tout bò kote Jezi, li moute nan yon kannòt, li chita. Tout foul moun yo menm te rete kanpe sou rivaj la.

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

Li t'ap rakonte yo kèk parabòl pou l' te fè yo konprann anpil bagay. Li t'ap di yo konsa: Ala, yon moun soti pou l' ale simen grenn nan jaden l'.

And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

Antan l'ap simen grenn yo, kèk grenn tonbe bò chemen an: zwazo vini, yo manje yo.

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

Yon pati grenn tonbe nan mitan wòch, kote ki pa t' gen anpil tè. Grenn sa yo leve byen vit, paske yo pa t' antre fon anba tè a.

And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

Men, lè solèy la chofe, li boule ti plant yo, yo cheche, paske rasen yo pa t' fon.

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

Yon lòt pati tonbe nan mitan pikan. Pikan yo grandi, yo toufe bon ti plant yo.

But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

Men, yon lòt pati ankò tonbe nan bon tè; yo donnen. Genyen ki bay san grenn, lòt bay swasant, lòt bay trant.

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Apre sa, Jezi di yo: Si nou gen zòrèy pou n' tande, tande.

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

Disip yo pwoche bò kot Jezi, yo mande li: Poukisa ou pale an parabòl ak moun yo?

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Jezi reponn yo: Nou menm, Bondye fè nou favè sa a pou nou konnen sekrè Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la. Men yo menm, yo pa resevwa favè sa a.

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Paske, moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò. Konsa, la gen plis pase sa l' bezwen an. Men, moun ki pa gen anyen an, y'a wete nan men l' nimm ti sa l' te genyen an.

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

Se poutèt sa m'ap pale an parabòl ak moun sa yo. Paske, lè y'ap gade yo pa wè, lè y'ap koute yo pa tande, ni yo pa konprann.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

Konsa, sa pwofèt Ezayi te di a rive vre pou yo: n'a tande nan zòrèy nou, men, nou p'ap konprann. n'a gade ak je nou, men, nou p'ap wè.

For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Paske, lespri pèp sa a vin lou. Yo bouche zòrèy yo, yo fèmen je yo, pou yo pa wè ak je yo, pou yo pa tande nan zòrèy yo, pou yo pa konprann ak lespri yo, pou yo pa tounen vin jwenn mwen pou m' geri yo. Se Bondye ki pale konsa.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

Men, pou nou menm, benediksyon pou nou: paske nou wè ak je nou, nou tande nan zòrèy nou.

For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Anpil pwofèt ak anpil moun ki mache dwat devan Bondye te anvi wè sa n'ap wè la a, men yo pa t' wè li. Yo te anvi tande sa n'ap tande la a, men yo pa t' tande li.

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

Koulye a, koute. Men sa parabòl moun ki t'ap simen an vle di.

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

Moun ki tande pawòl ki pale sou Peyi Wa a men ki pa konprann li, yo sanble ak tè bò chemen an, kote kèk grenn te tonbe: Satan vini, li rache pawòl ki te simen nan kè yo a.

But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

Gen lòt ki tankou tè ki gen anpil wòch la. Lè yo fèk tande pawòl la, yo resevwa l' ak kè kontan.

Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

Men, yo pa kite l' pouse rasen nan kè yo. Yo pa kenbe l' pou lontan. Lè yo tonbe anba tèt chaje ak pèsekisyon akòz pawòl Bondye a, lamenm yo jwenn okazyon pou yo tonbe nan peche.

He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

Gen lòt ankò ki resevwa pawòl la tankou grenn ki tonbe nan mitan pikan. Yo tande pawòl la, men traka lavi ak anvi gen lajan, tou sa toufe pawòl la, kifè yo pa ka bay anyen menm.

But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Moun ki resevwa pawòl la tankou grenn ki tonbe nan bon tè a, se moun ki konprann pawòl la lè yo tande li. Lè sa a, yo donnen. Gen ladan yo ki bay san, yon lòt bay swasant, yon lòt bay trant.

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

Jezi ba yo yon lòt parabòl ankò. Li di yo konsa: Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon moun ki te simen bon grenn nan jaden li.

But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

Men, yon jou lannwit, pandan tout moun t'ap dòmi, yon lènmi nonm lan vini, li simen move zèb nan mitan mayi yo. Apre sa, li ale.

But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

Lè mayi yo fin pouse, yo pran jete zepi. Lè sa a, move zèb la parèt tou.

So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

Moun ki t'ap travay ak mèt jaden an vin di li: Mèt, se pa bon grenn ase nou te simen nan jaden ou lan? Kote move zèb sa yo soti?

He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Li reponn yo: Se yon lènmi m' ki fè sa. Travayè yo mande li: Ou pa ta vle n' al rache move zèb yo?

But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

Li di yo: Non, poko fè sa. Paske, antan n'ap rache move zèb yo, nou ka derasinen mayi a avèk yo tou.

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Kite yo grandi ansanm jouk lè rekòt la va rive. Lè sa a, m'a di moun k'ap ranmase rekòt la: Rache move zèb yo anvan. Mare yo fè pakèt pou n' al boule. Mayi a menm, mete l' nan galata mwen.

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

Li ba yo yon lòt parabòl ankò. Li di yo konsa: Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon ti grenn moutad yon nonm pran pou li al simen nan jaden li.

Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

Grenn moutad, se grenn ki pi piti nan tout grenn ki genyen. Men, lè l' pouse, li pi gwo pase tout plant menm kalite avèk li. Li vin yon gwo pyebwa. Se konsa zwazo nan syèl la vin fè nich nan branch li yo.

Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Li di yo yon lòt parabòl ankò: Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou ledven yon fanm pran, li mete nan senk mezi farin pou fè tout pa t' la leve.

All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

Se avèk parabòl konsa Jezi t'ap moutre foul moun yo tout bagay sa yo. Li pa t' louvri bouch li pou l' pa t' rakonte yo yon parabòl.

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

Sa te pase konsa pou pawòl pwofèt la te di a te ka rive vre: Se an parabòl m'ap pale ak yo. m'a fè yo konnen bagay ki te kache depi anvan Bondye te kreye latè.

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

Apre sa, Jezi kite foul moun yo dèyè, li antre nan kay la. Disip li yo pwoche bò kote l', yo di l' konsa: Esplike nou parabòl move zèb nan jaden an.

He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

Li reponn yo: Moun ki simen bon grenn lan, se Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a.

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

Jaden an se latè. Bon grenn yo, se moun ki fè pati Peyi Wa a. Move zèb yo, se moun ki patizan Satan.

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

Lènmi ki simen move zèb yo, se Satan. Sezon rekòt la, se lè tout bagay va fini nèt la. Moun k'ap ranmase rekòt la, se zanj Bondye yo.

As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

Menm jan yo te rache move zèb yo pou jete yo nan dife a, se konsa tou sa pral rive, lè tout bagay va fini.

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va voye zanj li yo pou yo wete tout moun k'ap fè lòt moun fè peche, ansanm ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal. y'a mete yo deyò nan Peyi kote l' Wa a.

And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Zanj yo va jete yo nan gwo founo k'ap boule a. Se la va gen rèl, se la moun va manje dan yo.

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Men, lè sa a, moun ki te mache dwat devan Bondye yo va klere tankou solèy nan peyi Papa yo ki Wa a. Si nou gen zòrèy pou n' tande, tande. Parabòl ja lajan an

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon ja lajan ki te anba tè nan yon jaden. Yon nonm rive jwenn li, li kouvri l' ankò. Li sitèlman kontan, li ale, li vann tou sa l' genyen, li tounen vin achte jaden an.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon machann k'ap chache bèl grenn pèl.

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Lè li jwenn yon bèl grenn pèl ki chè anpil, li ale, li vann tou sa l' genyen pou l' ka achte li.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon privye yo voye nan lanmè. Li pran tout kalite pwason.

Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

Lè li fin plen, pechè pwason yo rale l' sou bò rivaj la. Yo chita, yo triye pwason yo: yo mete bon pwason yo nan panyen, yo jete sa ki pa bon yo nan lanmè ankò.

So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

Se konsa sa pral rive tou lè tout bagay va fini. Zanj Bondye yo va vini, y'ap mete mechan yo yon bò, moun ki fè sa ki byen yo yon bò.

And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

y'a jete mechan yo nan gwo founo k'ap boule a. Se la va gen rèl, se la moun va manje dan yo.

Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

Jezi mande disip li yo: Eske nou konprann tou sa? Yo reponn: Wi.

Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Lè sa a, Jezi di yo: Se konsa, tout dirèktè lalwa ki tounen yon disip nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la ap tankou yon mèt kay k'ap rale met deyò bagay li fenk achte ak bagay li gen depi lontan nan byen l' yo.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

Lè Jezi fin di parabòl sa yo, li kite kote l' te ye a.

And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

li ale nan lavil kote l' te grandi a. Li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay nan sinagòg la. Tout moun ki t'ap koute l' te sezi anpil. Yo t'ap di konsa: Ki bò li pran konesans sa a! Kouman li fè fè tout mirak sa yo?

Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

Se pa pitit bòs chapant lan? Se pa Mari ki manman li? Se pa frè Jak, Jozèf, Simon ak Jid li ye?

And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

Apa tout sè l' yo la avèk nou. Kote l' jwenn tout bagay sa yo?

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

Se sak fè yo te jwenn nan li okazyon tonbe nan peche. Lè sa a, Jezi di yo: Yon pwofèt jwenn respè toupatou, esepte nan peyi l' ak nan fanmi li.

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Se konsa Jezi pa t' fè anpil mirak la, paske yo pa t' kwè nan li.
