Luke 15
1 Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him.
Tout pèseptè kontribisyon yo ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal yo t'ap pwoche bò kot Jezi pou tande sa l' t'ap di.
2 And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
Farizyen yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo t'ap babye. Yo t'ap di: Nonm sa a ap resevwa moun k'ap fè sa ki mal, epi l'ap manje ak yo.
3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying:
Lè sa a, Jezi di yo parabòl sa a:
4 What man of you that hath an hundred sheep: and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which was lost, until he find it?
Sipoze yonn nan nou gen san (100) mouton. Si l' pèdi yonn ladan yo, èske li p'ap kite katrevendisnèf lòt mouton yo nan dezè a, pou li al dèyè sak pèdi a? L'ap chache l' jouk li jwenn li.
5 And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing:
Lè l' jwenn li, l'ap mete l' sou zepòl li ak kè kontan.
6 And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost?
Lè l' tounen lakay li avè l', l'ap rele tout zanmi l' ak tout vwazen l' yo, l'ap di yo: vin fè fèt avè m', mwen jwenn mouton m' ki te pèdi a.
7 I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.
Konsa tou, m'ap di nou, va gen plis kontantman nan syèl la pou yon sèl moun ki t'ap fè sa ki mal epi ki tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pase pou katrevendisnèf moun k'ap mache dwat, ki pa bezwen tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
8 Or what woman having ten groats; if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?
Osinon ankò, sipoze yon fanm ki gen dis pyès lajan. Si li pèdi yonn ladan yo, èske li p'ap limen lanp, bale tout kay la, chache nan tout ti kwen jouk li jwenn li?
9 And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost.
Lè l' jwenn li, l'ap rele zanmi l' ak vwazen li yo, l'ap di yo: vin fè fèt avè m'; mwen jwenn pyès lajan m' ki te pèdi a.
10 So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.
Konsa tou, m'ap di nou sa, gen kontantman nan mitan zanj Bondye yo pou yon sèl moun ki t'ap viv nan peche epi ki tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
11 And he said: A certain man had two sons:
Jezi di ankò: Vwala, se te yon nonm ki te gen de pitit gason.
12 And the younger of them said to his father: Father, give me the portion of substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his substance.
Pi piti a di papa l': Papa, ban m' pa m' nan byen nou yo. Lè sa a, papa a separe byen l' yo bay tou de.
13 And not many days after, the younger son, gathering all together, went abroad into a far country: and there wasted his substance, living riotously.
Kèk jou apre, ti gason an ranmase tout afè l', li pati, li ale nan yon peyi byen lwen. Antan li la, li lage kò l' nan banbòch, li gaspiye tout lajan l'.
14 And after he had spent all, there came a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
Lè msye fin depanse tout lajan l', yon gwo grangou tonbe sou peyi a. Lè sa a, li vin nan nesesite.
15 And he went and cleaved to one of the citizens of that country. And he sent him into his farm to feed swine.
li al mande travay lakay yon abitan nan peyi a. Abitan an voye l' nan jaden l' al gade kochon.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him.
Lè sa a, li ta byen renmen plen vant li ak sa kochon yo t'ap manje a, men pesonn pa t' ba li.
17 And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my father’s house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger?
Se lè sa a atò li pran kalkile sou sitiyasyon l'. Li di konsa: Gade kantite moun k'ap travay kay papa m' pou lajan! Yo jwenn manje depase sa yo ka manje. Epi mwen menm, m'ap mouri grangou isit la.
18 I will arise, and will go to my father, and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee:
M'ap leve, mwen pral tounen jwenn papa m', m'ap di li: Papa, mwen peche kont Bondye, mwen peche kont ou menm tou.
19 I am not worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
Mwen pa merite pou ou konsidere m' pou pitit ou ankò. Gade m' tankou yonn nan moun k'ap travay avè ou yo.
20 And rising up he came to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and running to him fell upon his neck, and kissed him.
Li leve vre, li pran chemen tounen kay papa li. Msye te byen lwen kay la toujou lè papa a wè li. Kè papa a fè l' mal, li kouri al rankontre l', li pase men l' nan kou pitit la epi li bo li.
21 And the son said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, I am not now worthy to be called thy son.
Pitit la di li: Papa, mwen peche kont Bondye, mwen peche kont ou menm tou; mwen pa merite pou ou konsidere m' pou pitit ou ankò.
22 And the father said to his servants: Bring forth quickly the first robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
Men, papa a di domestik li yo: Ale vit. Pote pi bèl rad la, mete l' sou li pou mwen. Mete yon bag nan dwèt li, mete soulye nan pye li.
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
Al chache jenn ti towo nou t'ap angrese a, touye l'. Ann fete, ann manje.
24 Because this my son was dead, and is come to life again: was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Paske, pitit gason m' sa a te mouri, men li tounen vivan ankò; li te pèdi, koulye a mwen jwenn li. Epi, yo kòmanse fè fèt.
25 Now his elder son was in the field, and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing:
Lè sa a, pi gran gason an te nan jaden. Antan l'ap soti nan jaden, lè l' rive pre kay la, li tande mizik la ak vwa moun k'ap danse yo.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
Li rele yonn nan domestik yo, li mande li: Sak genyen?
27 And he said to him: Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe.
Domestik la di li: Ti frè ou la tounen. Papa ou fè touye jenn ti towo nou t'ap angrese a, paske li jwenn msye an sante.
28 And he was angry, and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat him.
Gran frè a fè kòlè, li derefize antre nan kay la. Papa a soti, li mande l' pou l' antre.
29 And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee, and I have never transgressed thy commandment, and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends:
Men, gran frè a reponn papa a: Gade tout tan mwen genyen depi m'ap sèvi ou; mwen pa janm derespekte lòd ou. Men, ou pa janm ban m' yon ti kabrit menm pou m' fè fèt ak zanmi m' yo.
30 But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
Men, lè pitit gason ou lan tounen, li menm ki fin gaspiye tout byen ou yo ak jennès, se pou li ou fè touye jenn towo nou t'ap angrese a.
31 But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me, and all I have is thine.
Papa a di li: Pitit mwen, ou toujou la avè m'; tout sa m' genyen se pou ou.
32 But it was fit that we should make merry and be glad, for this thy brother was dead and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found.
Men, fòk kanmenm nou te fè fèt, nou pa t' ka pa kontan, paske frè ou la te mouri, men li tounen vivan, li te pèdi, mwen jwenn li koulye a.
