Matthew 5
1 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
Lè Jezi wè foul moun yo, li moute sou yon mòn. Li chita. Disip li yo pwoche bò kote l'.
2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
Li tanmen moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Li di yo:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Benediksyon pou moun ki konnen se pòv yo ye devan Bondye, paske peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se pou yo li ye.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Benediksyon pou moun ki nan lapenn, paske Bondye va ba yo kouraj.
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
Benediksyon pou moun ki dou, paske y'a resevwa byen Bondye te sere pou yo a sou latè.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
Benediksyon pou moun ki anvi viv jan Bondye vle l' la, paske Bondye va ba yo sa yo vle a.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Benediksyon pou moun ki gen kè sansib, paske Bondye va fè yo wè jan li gen kè sansib tou.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Benediksyon pou moun ki pa gen move lide nan tèt yo, paske y'a wè Bondye.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
Benediksyon pou moun k'ap travay pou lèzòm viv byen yonn ak lòt, paske Bondye va rele yo pitit li.
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Benediksyon pou moun ki anba pèsekisyon lè y'ap fè sa Bondye mande, paske peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se pou yo li ye.
11 “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Benediksyon pou nou lè moun va joure nou, lè y'a pèsekite nou, lè y'a fè tout kalite manti sou nou paske se moun pa m' nou ye.
12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Fè kè nou kontan. Wi, nou mèt kontan nèt, paske yon gwo rekonpans ap tann nou nan syèl la. Se konsa yo te pèsekite pwofèt ki te vini anvan nou yo.
13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
Se sèl nou ye pou moun sou latè. Si sèl la pèdi gou l', ak kisa pou yo ba li gou ankò? Li pa vo anyen ankò. Se jete pou yo voye sa jete deyò, pou moun pile sa anba pye yo.
14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
Se limyè nou ye pou moun sou latè. Moun pa kapab kache yon lavil ki bati sou yon mòn.
15 Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
Ni yo pa limen yon lanp pou mete l' anba yon mamit. Men, yo mete l' sou yon etajè, pou l' klere pou tout moun ki nan kay la.
16 Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Konsa tou, se pou limyè nou klere devan tout moun, pou lè yo wè tout byen n'ap fè yo, y'a fè lwanj Papa nou ki nan syèl la.
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
Pa mete nan tèt nou mwen vin aboli lalwa Moyiz la ak sa pwofèt yo te moutre nou. Mwen pa vin pou aboli yo, mwen vin moutre sa yo vle di tout bon.
18 For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.
Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: tout tan syèl la ak tè a va la, pa yon ti detay, ni yon sèl ti bout lèt nan lalwa a p'ap disparèt, jouk tout bagay ki pou rive yo rive.
19 Therefore, whoever shall break one of these least commandments and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Se sa ki fè, moun ki va dezobeyi yonn nan pi piti nan kòmandman sa yo, epi ki va moutre lòt moun pou yo fè menm jan an tou, moun sa a va pase pou pi piti nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la. Konsa tou, moun ki obeyi kòmandman sa yo, k'ap moutre lòt moun jan pou yo fè l' tou, moun sa a va pase pou pi gran nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.
20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Paske m'ap di nou sa: Si nou pa obeyi Lalwa Bondye a pi byen pase farizyen yo ak direktè lalwa yo, si nou pa viv pi byen pase yo, nou p'ap kapab antre nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.
21 “You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ and ‘Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’
Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di zansèt nou yo: Piga ou janm touye moun. Moun ki touye moun, se pou yo jije yo.
22 But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
Men, mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Nenpòt moun ki ankòlè sou frè l', se pou yo jije li. Moun ki joure frè l' enbesil, se pou yo jije l' devan Gran Konsèy la. Si yon moun di frè l' moun fou, li bon pou yo jete l' nan dife lanfè a. (Geenna g1067)
23 “If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
Konsa, si lè w'ap mete ofrann ou sou lotèl la bay Bondye, epi antan ou la devan lotèl la, ou chonje frè ou gen kichòy kont ou, men sa pou ou fè:
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
Kite ofrann lan la devan lotèl la, ale byen ak frè ou la anvan. Apre sa, wa tounen vin bay Bondye ofrann ou an.
25 Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
Si yon moun pote plent pou ou nan tribinal, prese mete ou dakò avè l' antan nou prale ansanm nan tribinal la, pou li pa lage ou nan men jij la, pou jij la pa lage ou nan men lapolis, pou yo pa mete ou nan prizon.
26 Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
Sa m'ap di ou la, se vre wi: ou p'ap soti nan prizon an toutotan ou pa peye dènye lajan yo mande ou la.
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’
Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di: Piga ou janm fè adiltè.
28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Si yon nonm gade yon fi avèk lanvi, li deja fè adiltè avè l' nan kè l'.
29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
Si se grenn je dwat ou ki pou ta fè ou tonbe nan peche, rache l' voye jete byen lwen ou. Pito ou pèdi yon sèl manm nan kò ou, pase pou yo voye tout kò ou nèt jete nan lanfè. (Geenna g1067)
30 If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
Si se men dwat ou ki pou ta fè ou tonbe nan peche, koupe l' voye jete byen lwen ou. Pito ou pèdi yon sèl nan manm ou yo, pase pou tout kò a nèt al nan lanfè. (Geenna g1067)
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’
Yo te konn di nou tou: Si yon nonm vle kite ak madanm li, fòk li ekri l' yon papye divòs.
32 but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.
Men mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Yon nonm ki kite ak madanm li, si se pa pou lenkondit, nonm sa a lakòz madanm lan fè adiltè. Konsa tou, yon nonm ki marye ak yon madanm mari l' kite l', li fè adiltè tou.
33 “Again you have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’
Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di zansèt nou yo: Ou pa dwe refize fè sa ou te sèmante pou ou te fè a. Se pou ou fè sa ou te sèmante fè devan Bondye.
34 but I tell you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
Men mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Pa fè sèman menm. Pa fè sèman sou syèl la, paske syèl la se fotèy kote Bondye chita.
35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
Pa fè sèman sou tè a, paske tè a se ti ban kote Bondye poze pye li. Pa fè sèman sou lavil Jerizalèm, paske se lavil gwo Wa a.
36 Neither shall you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
Pa fè sèman non plis sou tèt pa ou, paske ou pa ka fè yon sèl grenn cheve nan tèt ou tounen blan osinon nwa.
37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
Men, lè w'ap pale se wi ak non pou ou genyen ase. Tou sa ou mete an plis, se nan Satan sa soti.
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di: yon je pou yon je, yon dan pou yon dan.
39 But I tell you, do not resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Men mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Pa tire revanj sou moun ki fè nou mal. Si yon moun ba ou yon souflèt sou bò dwat, ba li bò gòch la tou.
40 If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
Si yon moun vle rele ou nan tribinal pou l' pran chemiz ou, kite palto a ba li tou.
41 Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
Si yon chèf vle fòse ou pote yon chaj pou li sou distans yon kilomèt, fè de kolomèt avè l'.
42 Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
Bay lè moun mande ou. Pa refize prete moun ki mande ou prete.
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di: Se pou nou renmen frè parèy nou, men se pou nou rayi lènmi nou yo.
44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
Men mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: renmen tout lènmi nou yo, lapriyè pou moun k'ap pèsekite nou.
45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
Se konsa n'a tounen pitit Papa nou ki nan syèl la. Paske, li fè solèy la leve ni pou moun ki mechan ni pou moun ki bon. Li fè lapli tonbe ni pou moun k'ap fè sa ki byen ni pou moun k'ap fè sa ki mal.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Si nou plede renmen moun ki renmen nou ase, ki rekonpans nou merite pou sa? Eske pèseptè kontribisyon yo pa fè sa tou?
47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Lèfini, si se frè nou ase nou di bonjou, se yon pakèt afè sa ye atò? Eske moun lòt nasyon yo pa fè sa tou?
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Non, nou fèt pou nou bon nèt, menm jan Bondye Papa nou ki nan syèl la bon nèt.
