Luke 8 (HATBSA)

1Yon ti tan apre, Li te kòmanse ale de yon vil ak yon bouk a lòt, poupwoklame e preche wayòm syèl la. Douz yo te avèk Li.Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,

2Anplis te gen avèk yo kèk fanm ki te geri de move lespri yo ak maladi yo. Te gen Marie, ke yo te rele Magdala a, sou kilès sèt dyab yo te sòti a,as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3avèk Jeanne, madanm Chouza a, entandan Hérode la, ak anpil lòt ki t ap kontribye a soutyen ki sòti nan mwayen pèsonèl yo.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Lè yon gran foul t ap rasanble, e sila yo ki sòti nan plizyè vil t ap vwayaje rive kote Li, Li te pale nan yon parabòl:While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“Semè a te sòti pou simen semans li; e pandan li t ap simen, kèk te tonbe akote wout la; epi yo te vin foule anba pye, e zwazo anlè yo te manje yo.“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.

6Lòt semans te tonbe nan tè plen wòch, e pandan yo t ap grandi, yo te fennen akoz ke li pa t gen dlo.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Lòt semans te tonbe pami pikan; epi pikan yo te grandi avè l, e te trangle yo.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Lòt semans te tonbe nan bon tè, te grandi, e te pwodwi yon rekòlt san fwa pi gran.” Pandan Li t ap di bagay sa yo, Li t ap rele fò: “Sila ki gen zòrèy pou tande, kite l tande.”Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

9Disip Li yo te kòmanse poze L kesyon sou sa ke parabòl sa a ta kapab vle di.Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Li te di: “A nou menm li pèmi pou konnen mistè a wayòm Bondye a, men pou lòt yo, li fèt an parabòl, dekwa ke nangade, yo vin pa wè, e nan tande, pou yo pa konprann.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

11“Alò, parabòl la se sa: Semans lan se pawòl Bondye a.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12“Sila yo akote wout la se sila yo ki te tande; epi dyab la vin rache pawòl la nan kè yo, pou yo pa kwè e vin sove.The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

13“Sila yo nan tè plen wòch la se sila yo ke lè yo tande, resevwa pawòl la avèk jwa, men yo pa gen rasin. Yo kwè pou yon tan, epi nan tan tantasyon, yo lage tonbe.The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.

14“Semans ki te tonbe pami pikan yo se sila yo ki te tande, epi pandan yo ap fè wout yo, yo vin trangle avèk pwoblèm pa yo ak richès a vi sa a. Konsa yo pa pote fwi ki vin mi.The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

15“Semans nan bon tè a se sila yo ki te tande pawòl la avèk yon kè onèt e bon, e ki kenbe fèm, k ap pote fwi avèk pèseverans.But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.

16“Alò, pèsonn, lè l fin limen yon lanp pa kouvri li avèk yon veso, ni mete l anba yon kabann; men li mete li sou yon chandelye, pou sila yo ki antre kapab wè limyè a.No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

17Paske pa gen anyen kache ki p ap vin parèt, ni anyen an sekrè ki p ap revele pou vin nan limyè.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18“Pou sa, okipe nou de jan nou tande. Paske nenpòt moun ki genyen, se plis k ap bay a li menm; e a sila ki pa genyen an, menm sa li sipoze li genyen an va rache soti nan men li.”Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

19Manman Li avèk frè L yo te vin kote L, e yo pa t kapab rive kote L akoz foul la.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Konsa moun yo te bay Li rapò a: “Manman Ou avèk frè Ou yo kanpe deyò a e vle wè Ou.”He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Men Li te reponn yo e te di yo: “Manman M avèk Papa M se sila yo ki tande pawòl Bondye a, e ki fè l.”But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Nan youn nan jou sa yo, Li te monte avèk disip Li yo nan yon kannòt. Li te di yo: “Annou pase pa lòtbò lak la.” Yo te pati.One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.

23Men pandan yo t ap ale sou vwal a, Li te tonbe nan dòmi. Epi yon gwo van te vin desann sou lak la, e yo te kòmanse inonde e te vin an danje.As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

24Yo te vini a Jésus e yo te fè L leve. Yo te di: “Mèt, Mèt, n ap peri!” Lè L vin leve, Li te reprimande van an avèk gwo lam lanmè yo, e yo te sispann. Konsa, tan an te vin kalm.The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.

25Li te di yo: “Kote lafwa nou ye?” Yo te ranpli avèk lakrent. Yo te etone, e te di youn lòt: “Alò, kilès nonm sa ye ki kòmande menm van avèk dlo a, e yo obeyi a?”“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”

26Yo te kouri a vwal jouk lè yo rive nan peyi a Jerazenyen yo ki anfas Galilée.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Lè Li te desann atè, Li te rankontre pa yon sèten mesye nan vil la, ki te domine pa dyab. Li pa t konn mete rad depi lontan, e li pa t viv nan kay, men nan tonbo.When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

28Lè l wè Jésus, li te kriye fò e te tonbe devan Li. Li te di ak yon gwo vwa: “Kisa m gen avè ou Jésus, Fis a Pi Wo Bondye a? Mwen sipliye ou, pa toumante mwen.”When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”

29Paske Li te kòmande lespri enpi a pou sòti nan mesye a. Paske li te konn sezi li anpil fwa; e li te mare avèk chenn avèk fè nan pye li, e Li te kenbe anba gad. Li te konn pete tout kontrent sa yo pou dyab yo ta pouse l nan dezè a.For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.

30Jésus te mande li: “Kòman yo rele ou?” E li te di: “Lejyon”, paske anpil dyab te gen tan antre nan li.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Yo t ap sipliye L pou pa voye yo nan abim nan.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Alò te gen yon gwo bann kochon ki t ap manje la nan mòn nan, e dyab yo te sipliye Li pou kite yo antre nan kochon yo. Konsa, Li te bay yo pèmisyon.There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

33Dyab yo te sòti nan mesye a, e te antre nan kochon yo, bann nan te kouri desann pant falèz la, tonbe nan lak la, e te mouri nan dlo a.Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

34Lè gadyen kochon yo te wè sa ki rive a, yo te kouri ale bay rapò a nan vil la avèk tout landwa andeyò yo.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Pèp la te sòti vin wè sa ki te rive a, e yo te vin kote Jésus. Yo te twouve nonm ki te konn gen dyab la. Li te chita nan pye Jésus, byen abiye, e nan bon tèt li. Yo te vin pè.So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

36Sila yo ki te wè sa, te eksplike yo kijan nonm nan ki te posede pa dyab yo, te vin geri.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Tout pèp Jerazenyen yo an ak landwa andeyò yo te mande pou L ta kite yo paske yo te ranpli avèk yon gwo perèz. Li te antre nan kannòt la, e te pati.Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.

38Men mesye a ke dyab yo te kite a te sipliye L pou L ta kapab ale avèk li, men Li te voye li ale e te di:The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“Retounen lakay ou pou eksplike yo ki gwo bagay ke Bondye te fè pou ou.” Donk li te ale, e te pwoklame toupatou nan tout vil la ki gwo bagay Bondye te fè pou li.“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

40Lè Jésus te retounen, foul la te resevwa L byen, paske yo tout t ap tann Li.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Konsa, te vini yon nonm ki te rele Jaïrus ki te yon ofisye sinagòg la. Li te tonbe nan pye a Jésus e te kòmanse sipliye Li pou te vini lakay li;Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42paske li te gen yon sèl fi, anviwon laj a douz lane, e li te mouri. Men pandan Li t ap ale, foul la t ap peze Li.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Konsa, yon fanm, ki te koule san pou plis ke douz lane, men pa t kapab twouve gerizon pa okenn moun,including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

44te pwoche dèyè Li. Li te touche arebò vètman Li, e nan menm moman an, san an te rete.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Jésus te di: “Kilès ki te touche Mwen an?” E pandan yo tout t ap demanti ke se pa yo, Pierre te di: “Mèt, foul la ap bourade ou e peze Ou.”“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Men Jésus te di: “Yon moun vrèman te touche M, paske Mwen te konnen lèpouvwa a te kite M nan.”But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Lè fanm nan te wè ke li t ap dekouvri, li te vini byen tranble, e te tonbe devan Li. Li te deklare nan prezans a tout moun poukisa li te touche L la ak jan li te vin geri nan menm enstan.Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

48Jésus te di li: “Fi Mwen, lafwa ou te fè ou geri; ale anpè.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Pandan Li te toujou ap pale, yon moun te soti lakayofisye sinagòg la, e te di: “Pitit ou a gen tan mouri. Pa twouble Mèt la ankò.”While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

50Men lè Jésus te tande sa, Li te reponn li: “Pa pè; sèlman kwè, e li va geri.”But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Lè Li te rive nan kay la, Li pa t kite okenn lòt moun antre avè L, sof ke Pierre avèk Jean ak Jacques, epi manman ak papa pitit la.When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

52Alò yo tout t ap kriye, e t ap lamante pou li; men Li te di: “Sispann kriye, paske li pa mouri, men l ap dòmi.”Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Yo te kòmanse ap ri sou Li, paske yo te konnen ke li te mouri.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Men Li menm te pran li pa lamen, Li te rele e te di: “Pitit, leve!”But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Konsa, lespri lavi li te retounen, e li te leve imedyatman. Li te bay lòd pou yo bay li yon bagay pou l manje.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Paran li yo te etone, men Li te enstwi yo pou pa pale pèsonn sa ki te rive a.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
