19 ¶ Lè Jezi fin di pawòl sa yo, li kite peyi Galile a, li ale nan zòn peyi Jide ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an.

Yon gwo foul moun t'ap swiv li. Lè l' rive, li geri malad yo.

¶ Kèk farizyen pwoche bò kot Jezi pou yo wè si yo te ka pran l' nan pèlen. Yo mande li: Eske lalwa nou pèmèt yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou nenpòt ki kòz?

Jezi reponn yo: Eske nou pa li sa ki ekri nan Liv la? Nan konmansman, lè Bondye t'ap fè moun, li te fè yo gason ak fi.

Apre sa li di: Se poutèt sa, gason an va kite papa l' ak manman l' pou l' mete tèt li ansanm ak madanm li. Yo tou de va fè yon sèl kò.

Konsa, yo pa de ankò, men yo fè yon sèl kò. Se poutèt sa, pesonn moun pa gen dwa separe sa Bondye mete ansanm.

Farizyen yo di li: Bon, poukisa Moyiz te bay lòd pou yon nonm ekri yon papye divòs voye bay madanm li, anvan pou l' kite avè li?

Jezi reponn yo: Se paske nou gen tèt di kifè Moyiz te ban nou dwa kite ak madanm nou. Men, nan konmansman se pa t' konsa.

Mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Lè yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou l' al marye ak yon lòt, li fè adiltè, esepte si se pou lenkondite li ta kite ake madanm lan.

10 Disip li yo di li: Si se konsa bagay la ye pou yon nonm ak madanm li, pito yon nonm pa marye.

11 Jezi reponn yo: Se pa tout moun ki asepte pawòl sa a. Se sèlman moun Bondye bay pouvwa pou sa.

12 Paske, gen anpil rezon ki ka enpoze yon nonm marye. Genyen ki fèt tou konsa: yo pa ka marye. Gen lòt, se moun ki mete yo nan eta sa a pou yo pa ka marye. Gen lòt ankò ki pa marye poutèt Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la. Si yon moun ka asepte pawòl sa a, se pou l' asepte li.

13 ¶ Lè sa a, yo mennen kèk timoun piti bay Jezi pou l' te mete men l' sou tèt yo, pou l' te lapriyè pou yo. Men, disip yo t'ap di moun yo pa fè sa.

14 Jezi di yo: Kite timoun yo vin jwenn mwen non. Pa enpoze yo vini. Paske, Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se pou tout moun ki tankou timoun sa yo li ye.

15 Li mete men l' sou tèt yo. Apre sa, li pati, li kite kote l' te ye a.

16 ¶ Yon nonm pwoche bò kot Jezi, li di l' konsa: Mèt, ki bon bagay mwen dwe fè pou m' ka resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an?

17 Jezi reponn li: Poukisa w'ap poze m' keksyon sou sa ki bon? Se yon sèl ki bon. Si ou vle antre nan lavi a, se pou ou fè sa kòmandman yo mande. Nonm lan mande li: Kilès kòmandman sa yo?

18 Jezi reponn li: Piga ou touye moun. Piga ou fè adiltè. Piga ou vòlò. Piga ou bay manti.

19 Respekte papa ou ak manman ou. Se pou ou renmen frè parèy ou tankou ou renmen tèt pa ou.

20 Jennonm lan di li: Mwen swiv tout bagay sa yo. Kisa pou m' fè ankò?

21 Jezi di li: Si ou vle bon nèt san manke anyen, ale vann tou sa ou genyen, separe lajan an bay pòv. Lè sa a, wa gen yon richès nan syèl la. Apre sa, vin swiv mwen.

22 Lè jennonm lan tande pawòl sa yo, li vin kagou, li vire do l', li ale paske li te gen anpil byen.

23 ¶ Lè sa a, Jezi di disip li yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi. Sa ap difisil nèt pou yon nonm rich antre nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.

24 M'ap di nou sa ankò: L'ap pi fasil pou gwo bèt yo rele chamo a pase nan je yon zegwi pase pou yon nonm rich antre nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.

25 Lè disip yo tande sa, yo pa t' manke sezi, yo di: Nan kondisyon sa a, ki moun ki ka sove?

26 Jezi gade yo, li di: Moun pa ka fè sa, se vre. Men, pa gen anyen Bondye pa kapab fè.

27 Lè sa a, Pyè di li: Men, koute non. Nou kite tout bagay pou nou swiv ou. Kisak pral rive nou?

28 Jezi reponn yo: Se vre wi, sa m'ap di nou la a: Lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va chita sou fòtèy li ak tout bèl pouvwa li, lè tout bagay va chanje nèt, nou menm k'ap swiv mwen, n'a chita sou douz fòtèy tou, pou nou ka jije douz branch ras Izrayèl la.

29 Nenpòt moun ki va kite kay li, osinon frè l', osinon sè l', osinon papa l', osinon manman l', osinon pitit li, osinon jaden l', poutèt mwen, moun sa a gen pou l' resevwa san (100) fwa plis pase sa, ansanm ak lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

30 Anpil nan moun ki devan yo va rete dèyè. Anpil nan moun ki dèyè yo va pran devan.

Divorce(A)

19 When Jesus had finished saying these things,(B) he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. Large crowds followed him, and he healed them(C) there.

Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife(D) for any and every reason?”

“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a](E) and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]?(F) So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”(G)

Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”(H)

10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”

11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.(I) 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

The Little Children and Jesus(J)

13 Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them(K) and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.

14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs(L) to such as these.”(M) 15 When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.

The Rich and the Kingdom of God(N)

16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life(O)?”(P)

17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”(Q)

18 “Which ones?” he inquired.

Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery,(R) you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’[c](S) and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’[d](T)

20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”

21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect,(U) go, sell your possessions and give to the poor,(V) and you will have treasure in heaven.(W) Then come, follow me.”

22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich(X) to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”(Y)

27 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you!(Z) What then will there be for us?”

28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne,(AA) you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(AB) 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[e] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.(AC) 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.(AD)
