John 11 (HAT) · Opened

1Te gen yon nonm yo te rele Laza ki tonbe malad. Li te rete Betani, yon ti bouk kote Mari t'ap viv ansanm ak Mat, sè l' la.At this time a man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

2(Mari sa a, se te fanm ki te vide odè sou pye Seyè a, epi ki te siye yo ak cheve li. Laza, nonm ki te malad la, se te frè li.)(Mary, whose brother Lazarus was sick, was to anoint the Lord with perfume and wipe His feet with her hair.)

3De sè yo voye yon moun bò kot Jezi pou di li: Seyè, zanmi ou lan malad.So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one You love is sick.”

4Lè Jezi tande nouvèl la, li di: Maladi Laza a p'ap touye li. Tou sa rive pou fè moun wè pouvwa Bondye. Se ak maladi sa a Bondye pral fè wè pouvwa Pitit li a.When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

5Jezi te renmen Mat, Mari, sè l' la, ansanm ak Laza.Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

6Apre li fin pran nouvèl maladi Laza a, li rete de jou ankò kote l' te ye a.So on hearing that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two days,

7Apre sa, li di disip li yo: Ann tounen nan Jide.and then He said to the disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”

8Disip li yo reponn li: Mèt, pa gen lontan jwif yo t'ap chache touye ou ak kout wòch, epi koulye a ou vle tounen laba a ankò?“Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews just tried to stone You, and You are going back there?”

9Jezi di yo: Gen douzè de tan nan yon jounen, pa vre? Si yon moun ap mache lajounen, li p'ap bite, paske li wè limyè k'ap klere tè a.Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.

10Men, si yon moun ap mache lannwit, l'ap kase pye l', paske li pa gen limyè nan li.But if anyone walks at night, he will stumble, because he has no light.”

11Lè Jezi fin di yo sa, li di ankò: Laza, zanmi nou an, ap dòmi. Mwen pral leve li.After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”

12Disip yo reponn li: Mèt, si l'ap dòmi, li pral geri.His disciples replied, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get better.”

13Jezi te vle di yo Laza te mouri, men disip yo te konprann se dòmi Laza t'ap dòmi tankou tout moun konn fè.They thought that Jesus was talking about actual sleep, but He was speaking about the death of Lazarus.

14Lè sa a, Jezi di yo klè: Laza mouri.So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,

15Poutèt nou, mwen byen kontan mwen pa t' la. Konsa n'a kwè. Ann al jwenn li.and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

16Lè sa a, Toma (yo te rele Jimo a) di lòt disip yo: Ann ale tou ansanm ak Mèt la pou n' ka mouri ansanm avè li.Then Thomas called Didymus said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”

17Lè Jezi rive, li jwenn Laza te gen tan antere depi kat jou.When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already spent four days in the tomb.

18Betani te yon ti bouk toupre lavil Jerizalèm, twa kilomèt konsa, pa plis.Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, a little less than two miles away,

19Anpil jwif te vin lakay Mat ak Mari pou konsole yo ak lanmò frè yo a.and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them in the loss of their brother.

20Lè Mat vin konnen Jezi t'ap vini, li pati, li al kontre li. Men, Mari te rete chita nan kay la.So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him, but Mary stayed at home.

21Mat di Jezi konsa: Mèt, si ou te la, frè m' lan pa ta mouri non.Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

22Men, mwen konn sa: menm koulye a, Bondye va ba ou nenpòt kisa ou mande li.But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”

23Jezi di li: Frè ou la va leve vivan ankò.“Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.

24Mat reponn li: Wi, mwen konn sa. Li gen pou l' leve vivan ankò nan dènye jou a, lè tout moun mouri yo va leve.Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

25Jezi di li: Se mwen menm ki leve moun mouri yo, se mwen menm ki bay lavi. Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan mwen, yo gen pou yo viv menm si yo rive mouri.Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.

26Moun k'ap viv, epi ki mete konfyans yo nan mwen, yo p'ap janm mouri. Eske ou kwè sa?And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

27Mat reponn li: Wi, Seyè, mwen kwè ou se Kris la, Pitit Bondye. Ou se moun ki te gen pou vini sou latè a.“Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”

28Lè Mat fin di sa, l' al rele Mari, sè l' la, li di l' nan zòrèy: Mèt la la wi. Li mande pou ou vin jwenn li.After Martha had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside to tell her, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”

29Tande Mari tande sa, li leve, li kouri al jwenn Jezi.And when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.

30(Jezi pa t' ankò antre nan bouk la. Li te rete kote Mat te kontre l' la.)Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.

31Jwif yo ki te nan kay la avèk Mari pou konsole l', lè yo wè l' leve soti, yo swiv li. Yo te konprann li tapral kriye bò kavo a.When the Jews who were in the house consoling Mary saw how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.

32Lè Mari rive kote Jezi te ye a, wè li wè l', li lage kò l' atè nan pye l', li di l' konsa: Seyè, si ou te la, frè m' lan pa ta mouri.When Mary came to Jesus and saw Him, she fell at His feet and said, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”

33Jezi wè jan li t'ap kriye ansanm ak jwif yo ki te vin avè l' yo, sa te fè l' mal anpil, kè l' t'ap fann.When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

34Li mande yo: Ki bò nou antere li? Yo reponn li: Seyè, vin wè non.“Where have you put him?” He asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they answered.

35Jezi kriye.Jesus wept.

36Lè sa a, jwif yo di: Gade jan li te renmen l' non!Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”

37Men, te gen kèk nan yo ki t'ap di: Li menm ki louvri je avèg yo, li pa t' kapab anpeche Laza mouri?But some of them asked, “Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind also have kept Lazarus from dying?”

38Sa te fè Jezi pi mal ankò. li al bò kavo a. Se te yon gwòt avèk yon wòch yo te mete devan bouch li.Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.

39Jezi di yo: Wete wòch la. Mat, sè mò a, di l' konsa: Seyè, li dwe kòmanse santi deja, sa fè kat jou depi l' nan kavo a.“Take away the stone,” Jesus said. “Lord, by now he stinks,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man. “It has already been four days.”

40Jezi reponn li: Mwen pa deja di ou: Si ou kwè, wa wè pouvwa Bondye?Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

41Se konsa, yo wete wòch la. Jezi leve je l' anlè nan syèl la, li di: Mèsi, Papa, dèske ou te tande mwen.So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

42Mwen menm, mwen konnen ou toujou tande m', men se poutèt moun sa yo ki bò kote m' lan m'ap di ou sa, pou yo sa kwè se ou menm ki voye mwen.I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”

43Lè l' fin di pawòl sa yo, li rele byen fò: Laza, soti deyò!After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

44Mò a soti, de pye l' ak de men l' yo tou mare ak bann twal, figi l' tou vlope nan yon moso twal. Jezi di yo: Demare l' non, kite l' ale.The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.

45Nan jwif ki te vin kay Mari yo epi ki te wè sa Jezi te fè a, anpil te kwè nan li.Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in Him.

46Men, gen ladan yo ki al jwenn farizyen yo. Yo rakonte yo sa Jezi te fè.But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

47Farizyen yo menm ansanm ak chèf prèt yo reyini Gran Konsèy la. Yo mande: Kisa n'ap fè? Nonm sa a ap fè anpil mirak.Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we to do? This man is performing many signs.

48Si nou pa fè l' sispann, tout moun pral kwè nan li. Talè konsa, otorite women yo va antre nan koze a, y'a detwi ni tanp nou an ni peyi nou an.If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

49Te gen yonn ladan yo ki te rele Kayif. Se li menm ki te granprèt pou lanne a. Li di yo: Gen lè nou pa konprann anyen!But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!

50Nou pa wè li pi bon pou nou si yon sèl moun mouri pou pèp la. Konsa tout peyi a va sove.You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”

51(Kayif pa te di sa konsa non. Men, li te granprèt pou lanne a, konsa li t'ap fè konnen davans ki jan Jezi te dwe mouri pou tout jwif ki nan peyi a.Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,

52Epi, pa sèlman pou jwif yo, men tou pou l' te sanble tout pitit Bondye ki gaye yo nan yon sèl kò.)and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.

53Se depi jou sa a otorite jwif yo pran desizyon pou yo touye Jezi.So from that day on they plotted to kill Him.

54Se poutèt sa tou Jezi te sispann fè ale vini nan mitan jwif yo an piblik. Li mete kò l' yon kote toupre dezè a, nan yon vil yo rele Efrayim. Se la li te rete ak disip li yo.As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.

55Fèt Delivrans jwif yo te prèt pou rive. Anpil moun soti toupatou nan peyi a, yo moute Jerizalèm anvan fèt la pou yo te ka fè sèvis pou mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo sèvi Bondye.Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem to purify themselves before the Passover.

56Yo t'ap chache Jezi. Antan yo tout te nan tanp lan, yonn t'ap mande lòt: Sa nou di? Ou kwè l'ap vin nan fèt la?They kept looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? Will He come to the feast at all?”

57Chèf prèt yo ansanm ak farizyen yo te bay lòd sa a: Si yon moun te konnen kote Jezi te ye, se pou l' fè yo konnen pou yo ka arete li.But the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where He was must report it, so that they could arrest Him.
