Jezi geri sèvitè yon Ofisye

(Lik 7:1-10; Jan 4:43-54)

Lè Jezi antre nan vil Kapènawòm, yon ofisye women te pwoche bò kote li pou mande l èd. Ofisye a di: “Senyè, mwen gen yon sèvitè ki kouche malad lakay mwen. Li paralize, epi l ap soufri anpil.”

Jezi di ofisye a: “Mwen pral avè w. Mwen pral geri l.”

Lè sa a, ofisye a reponn li: “Senyè, m pa diy pou w antre lakay mwen. Sèlman, di yon mo, epi sèvitè m nan ap geri. Mwen menm tou, m anba otorite yon lòt moun, epi mwen gen anpil sòlda anba otorite m. Lè m di youn: Ale, li ale. Lè m di yon lòt: Vini, li vini. Lè m di sèvitè m: Fè tèl bagay, li fè l.”

10 Lè Jezi tande pawòl sa yo, li te admire lafwa ofisye a. Li di moun ki t ap swiv li yo: “Menm nan peyi Izrayèl mwen pa jwenn yon moun ki gen tout lafwa sa a.” 11 M ap di nou yon bagay ki pi enpòtan toujou: “Gen moun k ap soti toupatou nan lès ak nan lwès pou vin chita manje ak Abraram, Izaak epi Jakòb nan wayòm syèl la. 12 Poutan gen anpil lòt ki ta dwe fè pati wayòm nan, y ap jete yo deyò nan tenèb fènwa, kote ki pral genyen anpil dlo nan je ak manje dan.”

13 Epi Jezi di ofisye women an: “Ou mèt al lakay ou! Tout bagay ap rive jan w kwè l la.” Nan menm lè sa a sèvitè a te geri.

The Faith of the Centurion(A)

When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed,(B) suffering terribly.”

Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”

The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.(C) For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.(D) 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west,(E) and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.(F) 12 But the subjects of the kingdom(G) will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”(H)

13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.”(I) And his servant was healed at that moment.
