Matthew 5
1 And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
Lè Jésus te wè foul la, Li te monte sou mòn nan. Lè Li fin chita, disip Li yo te vin kote L.
2 Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
Li te louvri bouch Li e te kòmanse enstwi yo konsa:
3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Beni se sila yo ki malere an espri; paske wayòm syèl la se pou yo.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Beni se sila yo ki soufri doulè akoz gwo pèt; yo va konsole.
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
Beni se sila yo ki enb; yo va resevwa tout latè kòm eritaj.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
Beni se sila yo ki grangou avèk swaf pou ladwati; yo va satisfè.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
Beni se sila yo ki bay mizerikòd; yo va resevwa mizerikòd.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Beni se sila yo ki gen kè pwòp nèt; yo va wè Bondye.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
Beni se sila yo ki fè lapè; yo va rele yo fis Bondye.
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Beni se sila yo ki te pèsekite pou ladwati; wayòm syèl la se pou yo.
11 "Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
“Beni se nou menm lè moun ensilte nou, pèsekite nou e pale san verite tout kalite mal kont nou pou koz a Non Mwen.
12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Rejwi e fè kè nou kontan. Rekonpans nou nan syèl la gran; paske se konsa yo te pèsekite pwofèt ki te avan nou yo.
13 "You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trampled under people's feet.
“Nou se sèl latè; men si sèl la pèdi gou li, kijan pou l fè l rekouvri gou sèl ankò? Li p ap bon ankò sof pou voye jete e pile anba pye moun.
14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
“Nou se limyè lemonn; yon vil ki plase sou tèt yon mòn pa kapab kache.
15 Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
Ni moun p ap limen yon lanp pou mete li anba yon panyen; men sou yon tab kote li va bay limyè pou tout sila yo ki nan kay la.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before people, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Kite limyè nou an klere devan tout moun pou yo kapab wè bon zèv nou, e bay glwa a Papa nou ki nan syèl la.
17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
“Pa panse ke Mwen te vini pou aboli Lalwa ak pwofèt yo. Mwen pa te vini pou aboli, men pou akonpli.
18 For truly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will disappear from the Law, until all things are accomplished.
Paske vrèman Mwen di nou jiskaske syèl la avèk tè a disparèt, ni yon ti lèt, ni yon ti mak p ap disparèt nan Lalwa a, jiskaske tout bagay fin acheve.
19 Therefore, whoever will break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever will do and teach them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Pou sa, nenpòt moun ki anile menm youn ki pi piti nan kòmandman sa yo, e bay enstriksyon a lòt pou fè sa, l ap rele pi piti nan wayòm syèl la. Men sila ki kenbe yo e enstwi lòt pou fè yo tou, li va rele pi gran nan wayòm syèl la.
20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Paske m ap di nou ke si ladwati nou pa depase sila a skrib avèk Farizyen yo, nou p ap janm antre nan wayòm syèl la.
21 "You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.
Nou konn tande ke tout ansyen yo te di: ‘Nou pa pou touye moun’ e ‘Nenpòt moun ki touye moun ap rann kont devan tribinal’.
22 But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be liable to judgment; and whoever will say to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be in danger of the council; and whoever will say, 'You fool,' will be in danger of the fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
Men Mwen di nou ke nenpòt moun ki fache avèk frè li, ap koupab devan tribinal. Epi nenpòt moun ki di: ‘Raka’ (pou ryen) ap koupab devan tribinal pi wo a, epi sila ki di: ‘enbesil’ ap koupab pou l antre nan lanfè. (Geenna g1067)
23 "If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
“Pou sa, lè ou ap prezante ofrann ou sou lotèl la, e pandan ou la, ou sonje ke frè ou a gen yon bagay kont ou,
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
kite ofrann ou an la devan lotèl a e ale fè wout ou. Premyeman, rekonsilye avèk frè ou, e apre vin prezante ofrann ou an.
25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
“Fè zanmi depi nan wout avèk lènmi k ap mennen ou tribinal la, pou li pa livre ou devan jij la, e jij la va livre ou bay otorite pou jete ou nan prizon.
26 Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
Anverite Mwen di nou, nou p ap soti la jiskaske nou peye dènye santim nan.”
27 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
“Nou konn tande ke yo te di: ‘Nou pa pou fè adiltè’;
28 but I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
men Mwen di nou ke nenpòt moun ki gade yon fanm avèk lanvi pou li, gen tan fè adiltè avèk li deja nan kè l.
29 And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
“Konsa, si zye dwat ou fè ou tonbe, rache li e jete li lwen ou. Paske li pi bon pou pèdi yon manm nan kò ou, pase pou kite tout kò ou jete nan lanfè. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Si men dwat ou fè ou tonbe, koupe li e jete li lwen ou. Paske li pi bon pou yon pati nan kò ou ta pèdi olye pou tout kò ou ta ale nan lanfè.” (Geenna g1067)
31 "And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
“Epi yo te konn di: ‘Nenpòt moun ki voye madanm li ale; kite li bay li yon sètifika divòs pou voye l ale.’
32 but I tell you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.
Men Mwen di nou ke nenpòt moun ki voye madanm li ale, sof pou enfidelite, fè l komèt adiltè, e nenpòt moun ki marye avèk yon fanm divòse fè adiltè.
33 "Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'Do not make false vows, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.'
“Ankò, nou konn tande yo te di a lansyen yo: ‘Nou pa pou fè fo sèman, men nou gen pou akonpli tout sa ke nou sèmante a Bondye’.
34 But I tell you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
Men Mwen di nou: Pa sèmante menm, ni pa syèl la, paske se twòn Bondye li ye;
35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
ni pa tè a, paske se kote Li mete pye Li, ni pa Jérusalem, paske se Gran Vil a Gran Wa a.
36 Neither should you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
Ni nou pa pou sèmante sou tèt nou paske nou pa kapab fè menm yon grenn cheve vin blan, ni nwa.
37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
Men kite pawòl nou sèlman ‘wi’ pou ‘wi’ e ‘non’ pou ‘non’. Nenpòt bagay ki depase sa yo soti nan mèt mechanste a.
38 "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
“Nou konn tande ke yo konn di: ‘Zye pou zye e dan pou dan’;
39 But I tell you, do not set yourself against the one who is evil. But whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
men Mwen di nou: Pa reziste a sila ki mechan an, men si nenpòt moun frape nou bò figi dwat nou, vire bay li lòt la tou.
40 And if anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
Si nenpòt moun vle fè pwosè kont nou pou l pran chemiz nou, bay li palto a tou.
41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
Nenpòt moun ki fòse nou pou mache yon kilomèt avèk li, fè de kilomèt.
42 Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
Bay a sila ki mande nou an, e pa vire do bay sila ki vle prete nan men nou an.
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
“Nou konn tande ke yo di: ‘Renmen vwazen nou, e rayi lènmi nou.’
44 But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
Men Mwen di nou: Renmen lènmi nou yo e priye pou sila ki pèsekite nou yo,
45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
pou nou kapab fis a Papa nou ki nan syèl la. Paske Li fè solèy Li leve sou mechan yo, ak bon yo, e voye lapli sou sila ki dwat yo, ak sila ki pa dwat yo.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
“Paske si nou renmen sila ki renmen nou yo, ki rekonpans nou ka resevwa? Èske kolektè kontribisyon yo pa fè menm bagay la tou?
47 And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
Epi si nou salye frè nou yo sèlman, kisa nou fè plis ke lòt moun yo? Èske payen yo pa fè menm bagay la tou?
48 You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Pou sa, nou dwe pafè menm jan ke Papa nou ki nan syèl la pafè.”
