Luke 12
1 In the meane time, there gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trode one another: and he began to say vnto his disciples first, Take heede to your selues of the leauen of the Pharises, which is hypocrisie.
Antre tan an, apre anpil milye moun te rasanble ansanm jiskaske youn t ap mache sou lòt, Li te kòmanse pale a disip Li yo dabò: “Veye ledven Farizyen yo ki se ipokrizi.
2 For there is nothing couered, that shall not bee reueiled: neither hidde, that shall not be knowen.
“Men pa gen anyen ki kouvri ki p ap vin parèt, e ki kache ki p ap konnen.
3 Wherefore whatsoeuer yee haue spoken in darkenesse, it shall be heard in the light: and that which ye haue spoken in the eare, in secret places, shall be preached on the houses.
Konsa, Nenpòt sa ke nou di nan tenèb va tande nan limyè, e sa nou te pale ak vwa ba, menm nan chanm pa anndan yo va pwoklame sou twati kay yo.
4 And I say vnto you, my friendes, be not afraide of them that kill the bodie, and after that are not able to doe any more.
“Mwen di nou, zanmi Mwen yo, pa pè sa yo ki kapab touye kò a, men apre sa pa gen plis ke yo kab fè.
5 But I wil forewarne you, who ye shall feare: feare him which after hee hath killed, hath power to cast into hell: yea, I say vnto you, him feare. (Geenna g1067)
“Men Mwen avèti nou kilès pou nou krent; krent Sila a ki lè L fin touye, gen otorite pou jete nan lanfè; wi, Mwen di nou, krent Li! (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not fiue sparowes bought for two farthings, and yet not one of them is forgotten before God?
“Èske senk zwazo pa vann pou de santim? Malgre sa, nanpwen youn nan yo ki bliye devan Bondye.
7 Yea, and all the heares of your head are nombred: feare not therefore: yee are more of value then many sparowes.
Anverite, menm cheve nan tèt nou yo kontwole. Pa krent, nou gen bokou plis valè pase anpil zwazo.
8 Also I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall confesse mee before men, him shall the Sonne of man confesse also before the Angels of God.
“Mwen di nou, tout sila yo ki konfese M devan lèzòm, Fis a Lòm nan va konfese l tou devan zanj a Bondye yo;
9 But hee that shall denie mee before men, shall be denied before the Angels of God.
men sila ki refize rekonèt Mwen devan lòm, va rejte devan zanj Bondye yo.
10 And whosoeuer shall speake a woorde against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but vnto him, that shall blaspheme ye holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen.
“Epi Nenpòt moun ki pale yon mo kont Fis a Lòm nan, li va padone; men sila ki fè blasfèm kont Lespri Sen an, p ap padone.
11 And when they shall bring you vnto the Synagogues, and vnto the rulers and Princes, take no thought howe, or what thing ye shall answere, or what yee shall speake.
“Lè yo mennen nou devan sinagòg yo, ak gwo chèf avèk otorite yo, pa twouble nou de kisa nou va pale kòm defans nou, ni kisa nou gen pou di;
12 For the holy Ghost shall teache you in the same houre, what yee ought to say.
paske Lespri Sen an va montre nou nan menm lè sa a, kisa nou dwe di.”
13 And one of the companie said vnto him, Master, bidde my brother deuide the inheritance with me.
Yon moun nan foul la te di Li: “Mèt, pale frè m nan pou divize eritaj la avè m.”
14 And he said vnto him, Man, who made me a iudge, or a deuider ouer you?
Men Li te di li: “Mesye, kilès ki te mete M jij oswa medyatè antre nou?”
15 Wherefore he said vnto them, Take heede, and beware of couetousnesse: for though a man haue abundance, yet his life standeth not in his riches.
Answit Li te di yo: “Fè atansyon, e veye kont tout kalite lanvi; paske menm lè yon moun gen anpil richès, lavi li se pa sa li posede.”
16 And he put foorth a parable vnto them, saying, The grounde of a certaine riche man brought foorth fruites plenteously.
Konsa, Li te bay yo yon parabòl: “Tè a pou yon sèten nonm rich te trè bon, e te pwodwi anpil.”
17 Therefore he thought with himselfe, saying, What shall I doe, because I haue no roume, where I may lay vp my fruites?
“Epi li te kòmanse reflechi avèk pwòp tèt li: ‘Kisa pou m ta fè; akoz ke m pa gen depo pou mete rekòlt mwen yo?’
18 And he said, This wil I do, I wil pul downe my barnes, and builde greater, and therein will I gather all my fruites, and my goods.
“Answit li te di: Men kisa m ap fè; m ap retire tout depo ke m genyen yo, e m ap bati pi gwo pou mete tout rekòlt mwen yo.
19 And I wil say to my soule, Soule, thou hast much goods laide vp for many yeeres: liue at ease, eate, drinke and take thy pastime.
Epi mwen va di a nanm mwen: ‘Nanm, ou gen anpil byen rezève pou anpil ane; pran repo ou, manje, bwè, e rejwi ou.’”
20 But God said vnto him, O foole, this night wil they fetch away thy soule from thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast prouided?
“Men Bondye te di l: ‘Alò nonm ensanse! Menm nwit sa a, nanm ou ap rachte de ou; e koulye a, kilès k ap mèt a sa ou prepare yo?’
21 So is he that gathereth riches to himselfe, and is not riche in God.
“Konsa se mesye la kiranmase trezò li pou li menm, men ki pa rich anvè Bondye.”
22 And he spake vnto his disciples, Therefore I say vnto you, Take no thought for your life, what yee shall eate: neither for your body, what yee shall put on.
Li te di sa a disip Li yo: “Pou rezon sa a, Mwen di nou, pa twouble pou lavi, pou sa nou va manje, ni pou kò nou, konsi, pou kijan nou ap abiye nou.
23 The life is more then meate: and the body more then the raiment.
Paske lavi plis ke manje, e kò a plis ke vètman.
24 Consider the rauens: for they neither sowe nor reape: which neither haue storehouse nor barne, and yet God feedeth them: how much more are yee better then foules?
“Konsidere kòbo yo, paske yo pa simen, ni yo pa rekòlte; epi yo pa gen depo ni pwotèj, men Bondye bay yo manje. Konbyen plis valè nou genyen pase zwazo yo.
25 And which of you with taking thought, can adde to his stature one cubite?
“Epi kilès nan nou ki kab fè kè twouble a ogmante menm yon èdtan nan longè lavi li?
26 If yee then bee not able to doe the least thing, why take yee thought for the remnant?
Si pou sa nou pa kapab fè menm yon ti bagay, poukisa nou fè kè twouble pou lòt bagay?
27 Consider the lilies howe they growe: they labour not, neither spin they: yet I say vnto you, that Salomon himselfe in all his royaltie was not clothed like one of these.
“Konsidere flè lis yo, jan yo grandi; yo pa travay ni fè twal, men Mwen di nou ke menmSalomon nan tout glwa li pa t abiye li menm tankou youn nan sa yo.
28 If then God so clothe the grasse which is to day in the field, and to morowe is cast into the ouen, howe much more will he clothe you, O yee of litle faith?
Men si Bondye abiye zèb nan chan yo ki jodi a vivan, e demen ap jete nan founèz la, konbyen anplis li va abiye nou, o moun ti lafwa piti!
29 Therefore aske not what yee shall eate, or what ye shall drinke, neither hag you in suspense.
“Konsa, pa mande kisa nou va manje, ni kisa nou va bwè, e pakontinye enkyete nou.
30 For all such things the people of the world seeke for: and your Father knoweth that ye haue neede of these things.
Paske tout bagay sa yo, tout nasyon nan mond lan chache yo avèk lanvi pa yo; men Papa nou konnen ke nou bezwen bagay sa yo.
31 But rather seeke ye after the kingdome of God, and all these things shalbe cast vpon you.
Men chache wayòm Li, e bagay sa yo va vini a nou tou.
32 Feare not, litle flocke: for it is your Fathers pleasure, to giue you the kingdome.
“Pa krent, ti bann nan, paske Papa nou te chwazi avèk jwa pou bannou wayòm nan.
33 Sell that ye haue, and giue almes: make you bagges, which waxe not old, a treasure that can neuer faile in heauen, where no theefe commeth, neither mothe corrupteth.
“Vann sa nou posede, e bay kado lacharite. Fè pou kont nou bous ki p ap janm ize, yon trezò ki p ap kab gate nan syèl la, kote vòlè pa pwoche, ni papiyon detwi.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your hearts be also.
Paske kote trezò nou ye, se la kè nou va ye tou.
35 Let your loynes be gird about and your lights burning,
“Rete abiye tout tan, byen parèt, avèk lanp nou toujou limen.
36 And ye your selues like vnto men that waite for their master, when he will returne from the wedding, that when he commeth and knocketh, they may open vnto him immediatly.
“Fè tankou mesye k ap tann mèt yo lè l retounen apre fèt maryaj la, pou yo kapab ouvri pòt la imedyatman lè l fin frape.
37 Blessed are those seruants, whom the Lord when he commeth shall finde waking: verely I say vnto you, he will girde himselfe about, and make them to sit downe at table, and will come forth, and serue them.
Beni se esklav sila yo ke mèt la va twouve k ap byen veye lè l vini. Anverite Mwen di nou keli va mare senti li pou sèvi yo. Li va fè yo repoze sou tab la, e li va vini pou bay yo sèvis.
38 And if he come in the seconde watch, or come in the third watch, and shall finde them so, blessed are those seruants.
Menm si l vini nan dezyèm oubyen twazyèm lè nwit lan, e li twouve yo konsa, se beni esklav sa a va ye.
39 Nowe vnderstand this, that if the good man of the house had knowen at what houre the theefe would haue come, he would haue watched, and would not haue suffered his house to be digged through.
“Men, byen konnen sa, ke si mèt kay la te konnen a kilè vòlè a t ap vini, li pa t ap kite l kase kay la.
40 Be ye also prepared therefore: for the Sonne of man will come at an houre when ye thinke not.
Nou tou, rete vijilan; paske Fis a Lòm nan ap vini nan yon lè ke nou pa ta sipoze.
41 Then Peter saide vnto him, Master, tellest thou this parable vnto vs, or euen to all?
“Pierre te di: ‘Senyè, èske W ap bay parabòl sa pou nou, oubyen pou tout lòt yo tou?’”
42 And the Lord saide, Who is a faithfull steward and wise, whom the master shall make ruler ouer his householde, to giue them their portion of meate in season?
Senyè a te reponn: “Alò, kilès ki se jeran fidèl e abil ke mèt li va mete an chaj tout lòt sèvitè yo, pou bay yo manje yo nan lè li dwe fèt?
43 Blessed is that seruant, whom his master when he commeth, shall finde so doing.
Beni se esklav sila a ke mèt la twouve ap fè sa lè l vini an.
44 Of a trueth I say vnto you, that he wil make him ruler ouer all that he hath.
Anverite Mwen di nou ke li va mete li an chaj de tout byen li yo.
45 But if that seruant say in his heart, My master doeth deferre his comming, and ginne to smite the seruants, and maydens, and to eate, and drinke, and to be drunken,
“Men si esklav la di nan kè l: Mèt mwen ap mize pou rive, epi li kòmanse bat esklav yo, ni fanm, ni gason, epi manje, bwè, e vin sou;
46 The master of that seruant will come in a day when he thinketh not, and at an houre when he is not ware of, and will cut him off, and giue him his portion with the vnbeleeuers.
mèt esklav sa a va vini nan yon jou ke li pa prevwa, nan yon lè ke li pa konnen, e li va koupe li an mòso, e mete li yon kote avèk enkwayan yo.
47 And that seruant that knewe his masters will, and prepared not himselfe, neither did according to his will, shalbe beaten with many stripes.
“Alò esklav sa a ki te konnen volonte a mèt li a; men pa t prepare ni aji an akò avèk volonte l, va resevwa anpil kout fwèt.
48 But he that knewe it not, and yet did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with fewe stripes: for vnto whomsoeuer much is giuen, of him shalbe much required, and to whom men much commit, the more of him will they aske.
Men sila ki pa t konnen, men te fè zak ki te merite kou, p ap resevwa plis ke kèk. “Pou tout sila yo ki te resevwa anpil konprann, anpil ap egzije de yo; e a sila ki te konfye anpil, a li menm y ap mande menm plis.
49 I am come to put fire on the earth, and what is my desire, if it be already kindled?
“Mwen vini pou voye dife sou latè; e kijan Mwen ta kontan si li te deja limen!
50 Notwithstanding I must be baptized with a baptisme, and how am I grieued, till it be ended?
“Men Mwen gen yon batèm pou M pase, e kijan sa twouble M jiskaske li fin acheve!
51 Thinke ye that I am come to giue peace on earth? I tell you, nay, but rather debate.
“Èske nou sipoze ke Mwen te vini pou bay lapè sou latè? Mwen di nou non, men olye sa, divizyon.
52 For from hencefoorth there shall be fiue in one house deuided, three against two, and two against three.
Paske depi koulye a, senk moun nan yon kay va divize, twa kont de, e de kont twa.
53 The father shalbe deuided against ye sonne, and the sonne against the father: the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother: the mother in lawe against her daughter in lawe, and the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe.
Yo va divize, papa kont fis, e fis kont papa; manman kont fi, e fi kont manman; bèlmè kont bèlfi, e bèlfi kont bèlmè.”
54 Then said he to the people, When ye see a cloude rise out of the West, straightway ye say, A shower commeth: and so it is.
Li t ap di anplis a foul la: “Lè nou wè yon nwaj k ap leve nan lwès, imedyatman nou di: ‘L ap fè lapli’, e se konsa sa rive.
55 And when ye see the South winde blowe, ye say, that it wilbe hoate: and it commeth to passe.
Epi lè nou wè yon van sid k ap soufle, nou di: ‘L ap fè chalè’, e se konsa sa rive.
56 Hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the earth, and of the skie: but why discerne ye not this time?
Ipokrit nou ye! Nou konnen kijan pou nou analize aparans a tè a, avèk syèl la, men poukisa nou pa analize tan prezan sila a?
57 Yea, and why iudge ye not of your selues what is right?
““Poukisa nou menm pou kont nou pa jije sa ki bon?
58 While thou goest with thine aduersarie to the ruler, as thou art in the way, giue diligence in the way, that thou mayest be deliuered from him, least he drawe thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the iayler, and the iayler cast thee into prison.
Paske pandan nou ap rive devan majistra avèk advèsè nou, menm nan wout la, fè yon efò pou antann avè l; pou li pa mennen nou devan jij la, e jij la livre nou a ofisye jistis la, k ap jete nou nan prizon.
59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast payed the vtmost mite.
Mwen di nou, nou p ap sòti la jiskaske nou fin peye dènye santim nan.”
