Mark 12 (HAT) · Opened

1Apre sa, Jezi pran rakonte yo yon parabòl. -Vwala, se yon nonm ki te plante yon jaden rezen. Li fèmen l' ak yon lantouraj, li fouye yon basen pou kraze rezen yo, li bati yon kay pou moun k'ap veye jaden an. Apre sa, li antann li avèk kèk moun ki pou okipe jaden an pou li. Li pati, li al nan vwayaj.Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a wine vat, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.

2Lè sezon rekòt la rive, li voye yon domestik bò kote moun ki t'ap okipe jaden an pou li. Li te voye chache pòsyon pa l' nan rekòt rezen an nan men yo.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Yo mete men sou domestik la, yo bat li byen bat, epi yo voye l' tounen bay mèt jaden an san yo pa ba l' anyen.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Mèt jaden an voye yon lòt domestik bò kote yo ankò. Fwa sa a menm, yo bat li nan tèt ase, epi yo joure l' byen joure.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Mèt jaden an voye yon twazyèm domestik, yo touye sa a. Li voye anpil lòt ankò: gen sa yo bat, gen sa yo touye.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6Sèl moun mèt jaden an te rete pou l' te voye, se pitit gason li te renmen anpil la. Li voye l' an dènye bò kote yo. Li t'ap di nan kè l': Omwens y'a gen respè pou gason m' lan.Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7Men, kiltivatè yo yonn di lòt: Men eritye a. Ann mete tèt nou ansanm. Ann touye l', konsa jaden an va vin pou nou.But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Yo mete men sou li, yo touye l', epi yo jete kò a deyò lòt bò jaden an.So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9Bon! Kisa mèt jaden an gen pou l' fè ankò? La vini, la fè touye tout kiltivatè yo, epi la bay lòt moun jaden rezen an.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Eske nou pa li pawòl ki ekri a? Mwen sèten nou li l' deja: Wòch moun ki t'ap bati yo te voye jete a, se li menm ki tounen wòch ki kenbe kay la.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11Sa se travay Mèt la. Se bèl bagay pou nou wè sa.This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Chèf jwif yo t'ap chache mete men sou li, paske yo te konnen byen se pou yo Jezi te di parabòl sa a. Men, yo te pè mas pèp la. Yo kite l', y' al fè wout yo.At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.

13Yo te voye kèk farizyen ansanm ak kèk nan patizan Ewòd yo bò kot Jezi pou wè si yo te ka pran yon pawòl nan bouch li pou akize li.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Yo vin di l' konsa: -Mèt, nou konnen ou se moun ki kare, ou pa pè pesonn, paske ou pa gade sou figi moun. Men, ou moutre chemen Bondye a jan li ye a. Manyè di nou: èske lalwa pèmèt nou peye Seza lajan kontribisyon an? Eske nou dwe peye li? Wi ou non?“Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”

15Men Jezi te konnen yo gen lòt lide dèyè tèt yo; li reponn yo: -Pouki n'ap chache pran m' nan pèlen konsa? Pote yon pyès lajan ban mwen pou m' gade yon bagay.But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Yo pote yon pyès lajan ba li. Jezi mande yo: -Pòtre ki moun ak non ki moun ki sou pyès lajan an? Yo reponn li: -Se pòtre Seza ak non Seza.So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Lè sa a, li di yo: -Bay Seza sa ki pou Seza, bay Bondye sa ki pou Bondye. Pawòl sa a te fè yo pi sezi ankò.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Sadiseyen yo se yon gwoup jwif ki di moun mouri pa leve. Yo vin bò kot Jezi ak yon keksyon. Yo di l' konsa:Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19-Mèt, Moyiz te ekri lòd sa a ban nou: Yon nonm ki gen frè, si l' mouri kite madanm li san pitit, frè a gen pou l' marye avèk madanm defen an pou li sa fè pitit pou frè l' ki mouri a.“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

20Se konsa, te gen sèt frè. Premye a marye, li mouri san l' pa kite pitit.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21Dezyèm lan marye avèk vèv la. Li mouri tou san l' pa kite pitit. Menm bagay la rive twazyèm lan tou.Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22Konsa konsa, tout sèt frè yo marye ak fanm lan epi yo yonn pa kite pitit. Apre yo tout fin mouri, li menm tou fanm lan mouri.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Lè mò yo va gen pou yo leve, madanm kilès nan yo li pral ye la a, paske li te madanm tout sèt frè yo?In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Jezi reponn yo: -Nou nan lerè wi. M'ap di nou poukisa: Nou pa konprann sa ki ekri a, nou pa konnen pouvwa Bondye.Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Lè mò yo va gen pou yo leve, fanm ak gason pa nan marye ankò. Tout moun pral viv tankou zanj Bondye nan syèl la.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Pou keksyon mò yo k'ap leve vivan ankò a, èske nou pa li nan Liv Moyiz la sa Bondye te di l' bò touf bwa a: Mwen se Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak, Bondye Jakòb?But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

27Bondye se Bondye moun vivan li ye, li pa Bondye moun mouri. Nou wè nou nan lerè anpil, pa vre?He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Yonn nan dirèktè lalwa yo te tande jan yo t'ap diskite. Li wè Jezi te byen reponn sadiseyen yo. Lè sa a, li pwoche bò kote l', li mande li: -Kilès nan tout kòmandman yo ki pi konsekan an?Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

29Jezi reponn li: -Men kòmandman ki pi konsekan an: Koute, nou menm pèp Izrayèl: Mèt la, Bondye nou, se li ki sèl Mèt la.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Se pou ou renmen Mèt la, Bondye ou, avèk tout kè ou, avèk tout nanm ou, avèk tout lide ou, avèk tout fòs ou.Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Men dezyèm kòmandman an: Se pou ou renmen frè parèy ou tankou ou renmen pwòp tèt pa ou. Pa gen lòt kòmandman ki pi konsekan pase sa yo.The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Lè sa a, dirèktè lalwa a di li: -Se sa menm, Mèt. Sa ou di a se vre. Met nou an se sèl Bondye ki genyen. Pa gen lòt pase li.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Jan ou di a, se pou nou renmen l' ak tout kè nou, tout lespri nou, tout fòs nou, epi se pou nou renmen frè parèy nou tankou nou renmen pwòp tèt pa nou. Sa pi bon lontan pase tout ofrann n'ap boule pou Bondye ansanm ak tout lòt bèt n'ap ofri pou touye pou li.and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34Jezi wè nonm lan te fè l' yon repons moun ki gen konprann, lè sa a li di li: -Ou menm, ou pa lwen peyi kote Bondye Wa a non. Apre sa, pesonn pa t' gen odas poze l' keksyon ankò.When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.

35Pandan Jezi t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay nan tanp lan, li di yo: -Ki jan dirèktè lalwa yo fè di Kris la se pitit pitit David li ye?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Poutan, men sa David te di (se Sentespri menm ki te fè l' di l'): Bondye te di Seyè mwen an: Chita la sou bò dwat mwen, jouk tan mwen fè lènmi ou yo tounen yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

37Si David rele Kris la Seyè, ki jan pou Kris la ta ka pitit pitit David? Yon pakèt moun t'ap koute Jezi avèk plezi.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Nan sa li t'ap moutre moun yo, li di yo konsa: -Pran prekosyon nou avèk dirèktè lalwa sa yo. Yo renmen pwonmennen avèk wòb long yo, yo renmen moun di yo bonjou jouk atè lè yo sou plas piblik.In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,

39Lè y' al nan sinagòg, yo chita kote pou tout moun wè yo. Nan resepsyon yo chache pi bon plas la.and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Se piye y'ap piye malerèz yo, an menm tan y'ap plede fè lapriyè byen long pou parèt pi bon. Kondannasyon yo pral pi rèd.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Apre sa, Jezi te chita vizaviz ak bwat kote yo mete ofrann nan tanp lan. Li t'ap gade moun yo ap mete lajan ladan li. Plizyè moun rich t'ap mete anpil lajan.As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Yon pòv vèv vin rive tou; li mete de ti kòb ki pa t' menm fè mwatye senk kòb.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Lè sa a Jezi rele disip li yo, li di yo; -Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Pòv vèv sa a bay plis pase tout moun ki mete ofrann nan bwat la.Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.

44Paske, tout moun sa yo mete sa yo pa bezwen; men li menm, nan tout mizè li, li bay tou sa l' te genyen, tout sa l' te gen pou l' viv.For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
