Matthew 7
1 “Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.
Pa jije moun pou Bondye pa jije nou,
2 For with whatever judgment you judge, so shall you be judged; and with whatever measure you measure out, so shall it be measured back to you.
paske Bondye va jije nou menm jan nou jije lòt yo. Mezi nou sèvi pou mezire lòt yo, se li menm menm Bondye va sèvi pou mezire nou tou.
3 And how can you see the splinter in your brother’s eye, and not see the board in your own eye?
Poukisa pou w'ap gade ti pay ki nan je frè ou, epi ou pa wè gwo bout bwa ki nan je pa ou la?
4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter from your eye,’ while, behold, a board is in your own eye?
Ou menm ki gen yon gwo bout bwa nan je ou la, kouman ou ka di frè ou: Kite m' wete ti pay ki nan je ou la?
5 Hypocrite, first remove the board from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.
Ipokrit! Wete gwo bout bwa a ki nan je pa ou la anvan. Apre sa, wa wè klè pou ou ka wete ti pay ki nan je frè ou la.
6 Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not cast your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they may trample them under their feet, and then, turning, they may tear you apart.
Piga nou bay chen bagay yo mete apa pou Bondye. Piga nou jete bèl grenn pèl nou yo devan kochon. Si nou fè sa, kochon yo va mache sou yo, epi y'a vire sou nou vin dechire nou.
7 Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.
Mande, y'a ban nou. Chache, n'a jwenn. Frape, y'a louvri pou nou.
8 For everyone who asks, receives; and whoever seeks, finds; and to anyone who knocks, it will be opened.
Paske, nenpòt moun ki mande va resevwa. Moun ki chache va jwenn. y'a louvri pou moun ki frape.
9 Or what man is there among you, who, if his son were to ask him for bread, would offer him a stone;
Eske gen yonn nan nou ki va bay pitit li yon wòch si li mande l' yon pen?
10 or if he were to ask him for a fish, would offer him a snake?
Eske la ba li yon koulèv si pitit li mande l' yon pwason?
11 Therefore, if you, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your sons, how much more will your Father, who is in heaven, give good things to those who ask him?
Si nou menm ki mechan jan nou mechan an, nou konn bay pitit nou yo bon bagay, nou pa bezwen mande si Papa nou ki nan syèl la p'ap ban nou bon bagay lè nou mande li.
12 Therefore, all things whatsoever that you wish that men would do to you, do so also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.
Tou sa nou vle lòt moun fè pou nou, nou menm tou fè l' pou yo. Se sa lalwa Moyiz la ak liv pwofèt yo mande nou fè.
13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate, and broad is the way, which leads to perdition, and many there are who enter through it.
Antre nan pòt jis la. Paske, pòt ki laj la, chemen ki fasil la ap mennen nou tou dwat nan lanmò. Gen anpil moun ki pase ladan li.
14 How narrow is the gate, and how straight is the way, which leads to life, and few there are who find it!
Men, pòt ki jis la, chemen ki difisil la ap mennen nou tou dwat nan lavi. Pa gen anpil moun ki jwenn li.
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
Pran prekosyon nou ak fo pwofèt yo. Yo pran pòz ti mouton yo lè y'ap vin sou nou, men nan fon kè yo, se bèt devoran yo ye.
16 You shall know them by their fruits. Can grapes be gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?
n'a rekonèt yo sou sa y'ap fè. Yo pa keyi rezen sou pye pikan. Ni yo pa keyi fig frans sou pye rakèt.
17 So then, every good tree produces good fruit, and the evil tree produces evil fruit.
Yon bon pyebwa bay bon donn. Men, yon move pyebwa bay move donn.
18 A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit, and an evil tree is not able to produce good fruit.
Yon bon pyebwa pa ka bay move donn. Nitou yon move pyebwa pa ka bay bon donn.
19 Every tree which does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
Nenpòt pyebwa ki pa bay bon donn, yo pral koupe sa jete nan dife.
20 Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
Konsa tou, n'a rekonèt fo pwofèt yo sou sa y'ap fè.
21 Not all who say to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, the same shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Se pa tout moun k'ap plede di m': Mèt, Mèt, ki pral antre nan peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, men se sèlman moun ki fè volonte Papa m' ki nan syèl la.
22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and perform many powerful deeds in your name?’
Lè jou sa a va rive, anpil moun va di m': Mèt, Mèt, se sou non ou nou t'ap bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye a. Se sou non ou nou te chase move lespri yo. Se sou non ou nou te fè anpil mirak.
23 And then will I disclose to them: ‘I have never known you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.’
Lè sa a, m'a di yo: Mwen pa t' janm konnen nou. Wete kò nou sou mwen, nou menm k'ap fè sa ki mal.
24 Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and does them shall be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock.
Konsa, moun ki tande pawòl mwen fenk sot di a, epi ki fè sa mwen mande li fè a, l'ap tankou yon moun lespri ki bati kay li sou wòch.
25 And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, but it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
Lapli tonbe, dlo desann, gwo van soufle sou kay la ak tout fòs. Kay la pa tonbe, paske yo te moute fondasyon kay la sou wòch.
26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them shall be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.
Men, moun ki tande pawòl mwen fenk sot di a, epi ki pa fè sa mwen mande li fè a, l'ap tankou yon moun fou ki bati kay li sou sab.
27 And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, and it did fall, and great was its ruin.”
Lapli tonbe, dlo desann, gwo van soufle sou kay la ak tout fòs: kay la tonbe, li fini nèt ale.
28 And it happened, when Jesus had completed these words, that the crowds were astonished at his doctrine.
Lè Jezi fin di pawòl sa yo, foul moun yo te sezi tande sa l' t'ap moutre yo.
29 For he was teaching them as one who has authority, and not like their scribes and Pharisees.
Se pa t' menm jan ak dirèktè lalwa yo, paske li te pale ak yo tankou yon moun ki otorize.
