Luke 12
1 At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread on one another, He began to say to His disciples, first, “Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;
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 and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known;
“Men pa gen anyen ki kouvri ki p ap vin parèt, e ki kache ki p ap konnen.
3 because whatever you said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you spoke to the ear in the inner-chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
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 to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything more to do;
“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 will show to you whom you may fear: fear Him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to you, fear Him. (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 five sparrows sold for two assaria? And one of them is not forgotten before God,
“Èske senk zwazo pa vann pou de santim? Malgre sa, nanpwen youn nan yo ki bliye devan Bondye.
7 but even the hairs of your head have all been numbered; therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.
Anverite, menm cheve nan tèt nou yo kontwole. Pa krent, nou gen bokou plis valè pase anpil zwazo.
8 And I say to you, everyone who may confess in Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess in him before the messengers 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 and he who has denied Me before men, will be denied before the messengers of God,
men sila ki refize rekonèt Mwen devan lòm, va rejte devan zanj Bondye yo.
10 and everyone who will say a word to the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him, but the [one] having slandered to the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
“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 bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you may reply, or what you may say,
“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 Spirit will teach you in that hour what [you] should say.”
paske Lespri Sen an va montre nou nan menm lè sa a, kisa nou dwe di.”
13 And a certain one out of the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.”
Yon moun nan foul la te di Li: “Mèt, pale frè m nan pou divize eritaj la avè m.”
14 And He said to him, “Man, who set Me a judge or a divider over you?”
Men Li te di li: “Mesye, kilès ki te mete M jij oswa medyatè antre nou?”
15 And He said to them, “Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because his life is not in the abundance of one’s goods.”
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 spoke an allegory to them, saying, “Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
Konsa, Li te bay yo yon parabòl: “Tè a pou yon sèten nonm rich te trè bon, e te pwodwi anpil.”
17 and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What will I do, because I have nowhere I will gather together my fruits?
“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 I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and I will build greater ones, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,
“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 will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.
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 And God said to him, Unthinking [one]! This night your life is required of you, and what things you prepared—to whom will they be [given]?
“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 who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.”
“Konsa se mesye la kiranmase trezò li pou li menm, men ki pa rich anvè Bondye.”
22 And He said to His disciples, “Because of this, to you I say, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat; nor for the body, what you may 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 life is more than nourishment, and the body than clothing.
Paske lavi plis ke manje, e kò a plis ke vètman.
24 Consider the ravens, that they do not sow, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God nourishes them; how much better are you than the birds?
“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 who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
“Epi kilès nan nou ki kab fè kè twouble a ogmante menm yon èdtan nan longè lavi li?
26 If, then, you are not able for the least—why are you anxious for the rest?
Si pou sa nou pa kapab fè menm yon ti bagay, poukisa nou fè kè twouble pou lòt bagay?
27 Consider the lilies, how do they grow? They do not labor, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as 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 and if the herbage in the field, that today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, God so clothes, how much more you of little 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 And you—do not seek what you may eat, or what you may drink, and do not be in suspense,
“Konsa, pa mande kisa nou va manje, ni kisa nou va bwè, e pakontinye enkyete nou.
30 for the nations of the world seek after all these things, and your Father has known that you have need 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 seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
Men chache wayòm Li, e bagay sa yo va vini a nou tou.
32 Do not fear, little flock, because your Father delighted to give you the kingdom;
“Pa krent, ti bann nan, paske Papa nou te chwazi avèk jwa pou bannou wayòm nan.
33 sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that do not become old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief does not come near, nor moth destroy;
“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 your heart will be also.
Paske kote trezò nou ye, se la kè nou va ye tou.
35 Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
“Rete abiye tout tan, byen parèt, avèk lanp nou toujou limen.
36 and you [be] like to men waiting for their lord when he will return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.
“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 those servants, whom the lord, having come, will find watching; truly I say to you that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline, and having come near, will minister to 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 may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, blessed are those servants.
Menm si l vini nan dezyèm oubyen twazyèm lè nwit lan, e li twouve yo konsa, se beni esklav sa a va ye.
39 And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken 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 and you, then, become ready, because at the hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.”
Nou tou, rete vijilan; paske Fis a Lòm nan ap vini nan yon lè ke nou pa ta sipoze.
41 And Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this allegory to us, or also to all?”
“Pierre te di: ‘Senyè, èske W ap bay parabòl sa pou nou, oubyen pou tout lòt yo tou?’”
42 And the LORD said, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord will set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?
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 that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;
Beni se esklav sila a ke mèt la twouve ap fè sa lè l vini an.
44 truly I say to you that he will set him over all his goods.
Anverite Mwen di nou ke li va mete li an chaj de tout byen li yo.
45 And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and may begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat also, and to drink, 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 lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not look for [him], and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him off, and he will appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
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 servant, who having known his lord’s will, and having not prepared, nor having gone according to his will, will be 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 and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few; and to everyone to whom much was given, much will be required from him; and to whom they committed much, more abundantly they will ask of him.
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 came to cast fire to the earth, and what I wish [is] if it were already kindled!
“Mwen vini pou voye dife sou latè; e kijan Mwen ta kontan si li te deja limen!
50 But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how I am pressed until it may be accomplished!
“Men Mwen gen yon batèm pou M pase, e kijan sa twouble M jiskaske li fin acheve!
51 Do you think that I came to give peace in the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division;
“Èske nou sipoze ke Mwen te vini pou bay lapè sou latè? Mwen di nou non, men olye sa, divizyon.
52 for there will be from now on five in one house divided—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 a father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
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 And He also said to the multitudes, “When you may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, A shower comes, and it is so;
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 a south wind is blowing, you say that there will be heat, and it is;
Epi lè nou wè yon van sid k ap soufle, nou di: ‘L ap fè chalè’, e se konsa sa rive.
56 hypocrites! You have known to discern the face of the earth and of the sky, but how do you not discern 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 And why, also, of yourselves, do you not judge what is righteous?
““Poukisa nou menm pou kont nou pa jije sa ki bon?
58 For as you are going away with your opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast you 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 say to you, you may not come forth from there until even the last mite you may give back.”
Mwen di nou, nou p ap sòti la jiskaske nou fin peye dènye santim nan.”
