Matthew 23
1 Then spake Iesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Apre sa, Jezi pale ak foul moun yo ansanm ak disip li yo, li di yo:
2 Saying, The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate.
Dirèktè lalwa yo ak farizyen yo la pou esplike Lalwa Moyiz la.
3 All therefore whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and doe: but after their workes doe not: for they say, and doe not.
Se pou nou koute yo, se pou nou fè tou sa yo di nou fè. Men, pa fè tankou yo. Paske yo menm, yo pa fè sa yo di nou fè.
4 For they binde heauie burdens, and grieuous to be borne, and lay them on mens shoulders, but they themselues will not moue them with one of their fingers.
Yo mare gwo chay lou yo mete sou zepòl lòt moun. Men, yo menm yo p'ap leve yon ti pwent dwèt pou ede moun yo pote chay la.
5 All their workes they doe for to be seene of men: for they make their phylacteries broad, and make long the frindges of their garments,
Tou sa yo fè, se pou moun kapab wè yo. Gade gwosè meday ki make ak pawòl Liv la yo mare sou fwon yo ak nan bra yo! Gade longè ganiti ki nan woulèt rad long yo!
6 And loue the chiefe place at feastes, and to haue the chiefe seates in the assemblies,
Yo renmen pi bon plas nan reseptyon. Yo renmen chita kote pou tout moun wè yo nan sinagòg.
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Yo renmen pou moun di yo bonjou jouk atè lè yo sou plas piblik, pou moun rele yo: Mèt, Mèt.
8 But be not ye called, Rabbi: for one is your doctour, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren.
Men, nou menm, pa fè moun rele nou Mèt, paske se yon sèl mèt nou genyen. Apa sa, nou tout se frè.
9 And call no man your father vpon the earth: for there is but one, your father which is in heauen.
Pa rele pesonn sou latè papa, paske nou gen yon sèl papa: sa ki nan syèl la.
10 Be not called doctours: for one is your doctour, euen Christ.
Pa kite yo rele nou chèf, paske nou gen yon sèl chèf, se Kris la.
11 But he that is greatest among you, let him be your seruant.
Moun ki pi grannèg nan mitan nou an, se moun k'ap sèvi nou an.
12 For whosoeuer will exalt himselfe, shall be brought lowe: and whosoeuer will humble himselfe, shalbe exalted.
Moun ki vle leve tèt li, y'a desann li. Moun ki desann tèt li, y'a leve li.
13 Wo therefore be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites, because ye shut vp the kingdome of heauen before men: for ye your selues go not in, neither suffer ye them that would enter, to come in.
Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! Nou fèmen pòt ki mennen nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la pou pesonn pa antre. Nou menm, nou pa antre ladan li. Lèfini, moun ki ta vle antre, nou enpoze yo antre.
14 Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers: wherefore ye shall receiue the greater damnation.
Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! N'ap piye pòv vèv yo nèt ale, an menm tan n'ap plede fè lapriyè byen long pou parèt pi bon. Se poutèt sa, kondannasyon nou pral pi rèd toujou.
15 Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye compasse sea and land to make one of your profession: and when he is made, ye make him two folde more the childe of hell, then you your selues. (Geenna g1067)
Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! N'ap vwayaje toupatou sou lanmè ak sou latè pou nou ka konvèti yon moun lòt nasyon nan relijyon nou an. Lè nou resi jwenn yonn, nou fè l' tounen yon pitit Satan de fwa pi mechan pase nou. (Geenna g1067)
16 Wo be vnto you blinde guides, which say, Whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the golde of the Temple, he offendeth.
Malè pou nou, avèg k'ap kondi moun! Nou di konsa: Yon moun te mèt sèmante sou tanp lan, li pa bezwen kenbe pawòl li pou sa. Men, si l' sèmante sou lò ki nan tanp la, se pou l' kenbe pawòl li.
17 Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the golde, or the Temple that sanctifieth the golde?
Bann egare, bann moun je pete! Kisa ki pi konsekan: lò a osinon tanp lan kote yo fè lò a sèvi pou Bondye?
18 And whosoeuer sweareth by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the offering that is vpon it, offendeth.
Nou di ankò: O wi, si yon moun sèmante sou lòtèl la, se pa anyen sa. Li pa bezwen kenbe pawòl li. Men, si l' sèmante sou ofrann ki sou lòtèl la, se pou l' kenbe pawòl li.
19 Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering?
Bann je pete! Kisa ki pi konsekan: ofrann lan osinon lòtèl la kote yo mete ofrann lan apa pou Bondye?
20 Whosoeuer therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
Se sa ki fè, moun ki sèmante sou lòtèl la, li sèmante sou lòtèl la ansanm ak tou sa ki sou li.
21 And whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
Moun ki sèmante sou tanp lan, li sèmante sou tanp lan ansanm ak sou Bondye ki rete nan tanp lan.
22 And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Moun ki sèmante sou syèl la, li sèmante sou fotèy kote Bondye chita a ansanm ak sou Bondye li menm ki chita sou fotèy la.
23 Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye tithe mynt, and annyse, and cummyn, and leaue the weightier matters of the law, as iudgement, and mercy and fidelitie. These ought ye to haue done, and not to haue left the other.
Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! Nou bay Bondye ladim nan rekòt pye mant, pye ani etwale ak pye pèsi, men, nou neglije bagay ki pi konsekan nan lalwa a: n'ap fè lenjistis, nou pa gen kè sansib, nou pa kenbe pawòl nou. Men sa pou n' te fè san nou pa neglije lòt bagay yo.
24 Ye blinde guides, which straine out a gnat, and swallowe a camell.
Nou menm k'ap kondi pèp la, nou se yon bann avèg pou tèt pa nou. Nou pase lèt la nan paswa pou nou wete ti mouch ki tonbe ladan li. Men, nou vale yon chwal!
25 Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye make cleane the vtter side of the cup, and of the platter: but within they are ful of briberie and excesse.
Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! Nou netwaye tout deyò gode a ak deyò plat la byen netwaye. Men, anndan yo plen ak bagay nou pran nan vòlò, nan fè visye.
26 Thou blinde Pharise, cleanse first the inside of the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be cleane also.
Farizyen avèg! Pwòpte anndan gode a ak anndan plat la anvan. Se lè sa a deyò yo va pwòp tou.
27 Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are like vnto whited tombes, which appeare beautifull outward, but are within full of dead mens bones, and all filthines.
Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! Nou sanble tonm yo blanchi nan simityè. Deyò yo parèt byen bèl, anndan yo plen ak zosman mò ak tout kalite vye bagay pouri.
28 So are ye also: for outwarde ye appeare righteous vnto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisie and iniquitie.
Konsa tou, sou deyò nan je moun, nou sanble moun k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye. Men anndan kè nou, nou plen ipokrizi ak mechanste.
29 Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye build the tombes of the Prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! Gade, n'ap bati bèl tonm pou pwofèt yo, nou mete flè sou kavo moun ki te mache dwat devan Bondye yo.
30 And say, If we had bene in the dayes of our fathers, we would not haue bene partners with them in the blood of the Prophets.
Epi n'ap di: Si nou te viv nan tan zansèt nou yo, nou pa ta dakò ak yo lè yo t'ap touye pwofèt yo.
31 So then ye be witnesses vnto your selues, that ye are the children of them that murthered the Prophets.
Lè nou di sa, nou admèt nou menm tou se pitit pitit moun ki te ansasinen pwofèt yo nou ye.
32 Fulfill ye also ye measure of your fathers.
Konsa, nou mèt fin fè sa zansèt nou yo te kòmanse fè a.
33 O serpents, the generation of vipers, howe should ye escape the damnation of hell! (Geenna g1067)
Bann rize, bann vèmen! Kouman n'a fè chape anba chatiman lanfè a? (Geenna g1067)
34 Wherefore beholde, I send vnto you Prophets, and wise men, and Scribes, and of them ye shall kill and crucifie: and of them shall ye scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute from citie to citie,
Se poutèt sa, men sa ki genyen: mwen pral voye pwofèt, moun ki gen bon konprann ak dirèktè lalwa ban nou. Nou pral touye kèk, gen ladan yo n'ap kloure sou kwa, gen ladan yo n'ap bat ak fwèt nan sinagòg nou yo, n'ap pousib yo soti yon lavil al nan yon lòt.
35 That vpon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed vpon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, vnto the blood of Zacharias the sonne of Barachias, whome ye slewe betweene the Temple and the altar.
Konsa, n'ap reskonsab san tout inonsan ki koule sou latè, depi san Abèl, nonm ki te fè sa ki byen devan Bondye a, jouk san Zakari, pitit Barachi, moun nou te ansasinen ant lòtèl la ak kote ki rezève apa pou Bondye nan tanp lan.
36 Verely I say vnto you, all these things shall come vpon this generation.
Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Chatiman gen pou tonbe sou moun k'ap viv koulye a pou tout krim sa yo.
37 Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent to thee, how often would I haue gathered thy children together, as the henne gathereth her chickins vnder her wings, and ye would not!
Jerizalèm, Jerizalèm, ou menm ki touye pwofèt yo, ou menm k'ap touye moun Bondye voye ba ou yo ak kout wòch, depi lontan mwen te vle sanble moun ou yo tankou manman poul k'ap sanble pitit li anba zèl li, men ou pa t' vle!
38 Beholde, your habitation shalbe left vnto you desolate,
Enben, tout kay ou yo pral rete san yon moun ladan yo.
39 For I say vnto you, ye shall not see mee henceforth till that ye say, Blessed is he that commeth in the Name of the Lord.
Paske, m'ap di ou sa: Depi jòdi a, nou p'ap wè m' ankò jouk lè a va rive pou nou di: Benediksyon pou Moun ki vini nan non Mèt la.
