Matthew 18
1 At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?
Lè sa a, disip yo pwoche bò kote Jezi, yo mande li: Ki moun ki pi grannèg nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la?
2 And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,
Jezi rele yon timoun, li mete l' nan mitan yo.
3 And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Li di: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Si nou pa chanje, si nou pa tounen tankou yon timoun piti, nou p'ap janm ka mete pye nou nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.
Se poutèt sa, moun ki va soumèt tèt li devan Bondye, ki va tounen tankou timoun sa a, se li ki va pi grannèg nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.
5 And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
Nenpòt moun ki resevwa yon timoun tankou timoun sa a, se mwen menm li resevwa.
6 But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.
Kanta moun ki fè yonn nan timoun sa yo ki kwè nan mwen tonbe nan peche, li ta pi bon pou li si yo ta mare yon gwo wòl moulen nan kou l' voye l' jete nan fon lanmè.
7 Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh.
Ala yon lapenn pou lèzòm! Pa manke bagay ki pou fè yo tonbe nan peche! Wi! se vre, bagay sa yo ap toujou la. Men, malè pou moun ki lakòz bagay sa yo rive!
8 And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
Si se men ou osinon pye ou ki pou ta fè ou tonbe nan peche, koupe l' voye jete byen lwen ou. Pito ou antre nan lavi a ak yon sèl men osinon ak yon sèl pye, pase pou ou rete ak de men ou osinon ak de pye ou, epi pou yo jete ou nan dife ki p'ap janm fini an. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
Si se je ou ki pou ta fè ou tonbe nan peche, rache li voye jete byen lwen ou. Pito ou antre nan lavi a ak yon sèl grenn je, pase pou ou rete ak tou de je ou epi pou yo jete ou nan dife lanfè a. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Atansyon: Piga nou meprize yon sèl nan ti piti sa yo. Paske m'ap di nou sa: zanj gadyen yo ki nan syèl la, se tout tan yo la devan Papa m' ki nan syèl la.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Paske, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a vin delivre sa ki te pèdi.
12 What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go to seek that which is gone astray?
Sa nou konprann nan sa? Si yon nonm gen san mouton, epi li rete konsa li pa wè yonn ladan yo, èske li p'ap kite katrevendiznèf lòt yo sou mòn lan, pou li ale chache mouton ki pèdi a?
13 And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray.
Si l' rive jwenn li menm, se vre wi, sa m'ap di nou la a, l'ap pi kontan pou mouton sa a pase pou katrevendiznèf lòt yo ki pa t' pèdi.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Konsa tou, Papa nou ki nan syèl la pa ta renmen wè yon sèl nan ti piti sa yo rive pèdi.
15 But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.
Si frè ou fè ou yon bagay ki mal, ale jwenn li, rele l' apa. Fè l' wè sa li fè a mal. Si li koute ou, se mete wa mete frè ou ankò sou bon chemen.
16 And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.
Men, si li pa vle koute ou, pran yonn osinon de lòt moun avè ou. Konsa, tout bagay va regle sou depozisyon de osinon twa temwen.
17 And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.
Si l' refize koute yo tou, lè sa a wa di legliz la sa. Si l' refize koute legliz la, ou mèt gade l' tankou yon etranje pou ou, tankou yon pèseptè kontribisyon.
18 Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven.
Se vre wi, sa m'ap di nou la a: Tou sa n'a defann moun fè sou latè, yo p'ap kapab fè l' nan syèl la non plis. Tou sa n'a pèmèt moun fè sou latè, y'a kapab fè l' nan syèl la tou.
19 Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning any thing whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven.
Men sa m'ap di nou ankò: Si de nan nou mete yo dakò sou latè pou mande nenpòt ki bagay lè y'ap lapriyè, Papa m' ki nan syèl la va ba yo li.
20 For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Paske, chak fwa de ou twa moun mete tèt yo ansanm nan non mwen, m'ap la nan mitan yo.
21 Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Lè sa a, Pyè pwoche bò kot Jezi, li di l' konsa: Mèt, konbe fwa pou m' padonnen frè m' lè li fè m' yon bagay mal? Sèt fwa konsa?
22 Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.
Jezi reponn li: Non, Pyè. Mwen pa di ou padonnen l' sèt fwa, men padonnen l' swasanndis fwa sèt fwa.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.
Men ki jan sa ap pase nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la: Se tankou yon wa ki te vle fè regleman ak domestik li yo.
24 And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
Li te fèk kòmanse fè regleman an lè yo mennen yonn ba li ki te dwe l' senkantmil (50.000) goud.
25 And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Men, nonm lan pa t' gen dekwa peye tout lajan sa a. Mèt la bay lòd pou yo vann li tankou esklav, li menm, madanm li, pitit li yo ansanm ak tou sa l' te genyen, pou peye dèt la.
26 But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Domestik la tonbe ajenou devan mèt la, li di li: Mèt, tanpri souple, pran yon ti pasyans pou mwen, m'a peye ou tout lajan an.
27 And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt.
Kè mèt domestik la fè l' mal, li kite lajan an la pou li, li kite l' ale.
28 But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.
Lè domestik la soti, li kontre ak yon kanmarad ki te dwe l' san (100) goud. Li kenbe l', li pran trangle l', li di li: Peye m' sa ou dwe m' lan.
29 And his fellow servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Kanmarad la lage kò l' atè, li di lòt la: Tanpri, pran yon ti pasyans pou mwen, m'a peye ou.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt.
Men, lòt la pa tande. Li fè mete kanmarad la nan prizon, pou jouk lè li fin peye sa li dwe a.
31 Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came and told their lord all that was done.
Lè lòt domestik yo wè sak te rive, sa te fè yo mal anpil. Y al rakonte mèt la sak te pase.
32 Then his lord called him; and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:
Lè sa a, mèt la fè rele domestik la. Li di l' konsa: Gade jan ou mechan! Mwen kite tout lajan sa a pou ou paske ou te mande m' fè sa pou ou.
33 Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?
Ou te dwe gen pitye pou kanmarad ou a menm jan mwen te gen pitye pou ou a.
34 And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.
Mèt la fè gwo kòlè, li fè mete msye nan prizon pou yo bat li jouk lè li fin peye tou sa l' te dwe a.
35 So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
Se konsa Papa m' ki anwo nan syèl la va aji ak nou, si nou pa padonnen frè nou yo ak tout kè nou.
