Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
Tout pèseptè kontribisyon yo ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal yo t'ap pwoche bò kot Jezi pou tande sa l' t'ap di.
2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them."
Farizyen yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo t'ap babye. Yo t'ap di: Nonm sa a ap resevwa moun k'ap fè sa ki mal, epi l'ap manje ak yo.
3 He told them this parable.
Lè sa a, Jezi di yo parabòl sa a:
4 "Which one of you, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
Sipoze yonn nan nou gen san (100) mouton. Si l' pèdi yonn ladan yo, èske li p'ap kite katrevendisnèf lòt mouton yo nan dezè a, pou li al dèyè sak pèdi a? L'ap chache l' jouk li jwenn li.
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Lè l' jwenn li, l'ap mete l' sou zepòl li ak kè kontan.
6 When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.'
Lè l' tounen lakay li avè l', l'ap rele tout zanmi l' ak tout vwazen l' yo, l'ap di yo: vin fè fèt avè m', mwen jwenn mouton m' ki te pèdi a.
7 I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
Konsa tou, m'ap di nou, va gen plis kontantman nan syèl la pou yon sèl moun ki t'ap fè sa ki mal epi ki tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pase pou katrevendisnèf moun k'ap mache dwat, ki pa bezwen tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
8 Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, would not light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
Osinon ankò, sipoze yon fanm ki gen dis pyès lajan. Si li pèdi yonn ladan yo, èske li p'ap limen lanp, bale tout kay la, chache nan tout ti kwen jouk li jwenn li?
9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.'
Lè l' jwenn li, l'ap rele zanmi l' ak vwazen li yo, l'ap di yo: vin fè fèt avè m'; mwen jwenn pyès lajan m' ki te pèdi a.
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."
Konsa tou, m'ap di nou sa, gen kontantman nan mitan zanj Bondye yo pou yon sèl moun ki t'ap viv nan peche epi ki tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
11 He said, "A certain man had two sons.
Jezi di ankò: Vwala, se te yon nonm ki te gen de pitit gason.
12 The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of your property.' He divided his livelihood between them.
Pi piti a di papa l': Papa, ban m' pa m' nan byen nou yo. Lè sa a, papa a separe byen l' yo bay tou de.
13 Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
Kèk jou apre, ti gason an ranmase tout afè l', li pati, li ale nan yon peyi byen lwen. Antan li la, li lage kò l' nan banbòch, li gaspiye tout lajan l'.
14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
Lè msye fin depanse tout lajan l', yon gwo grangou tonbe sou peyi a. Lè sa a, li vin nan nesesite.
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
li al mande travay lakay yon abitan nan peyi a. Abitan an voye l' nan jaden l' al gade kochon.
16 And he wanted to fill himself with the carob pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
Lè sa a, li ta byen renmen plen vant li ak sa kochon yo t'ap manje a, men pesonn pa t' ba li.
17 But when he came to himself he said, 'How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough to spare, and I'm dying here with hunger.
Se lè sa a atò li pran kalkile sou sitiyasyon l'. Li di konsa: Gade kantite moun k'ap travay kay papa m' pou lajan! Yo jwenn manje depase sa yo ka manje. Epi mwen menm, m'ap mouri grangou isit la.
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight.
M'ap leve, mwen pral tounen jwenn papa m', m'ap di li: Papa, mwen peche kont Bondye, mwen peche kont ou menm tou.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants."'
Mwen pa merite pou ou konsidere m' pou pitit ou ankò. Gade m' tankou yonn nan moun k'ap travay avè ou yo.
20 "He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Li leve vre, li pran chemen tounen kay papa li. Msye te byen lwen kay la toujou lè papa a wè li. Kè papa a fè l' mal, li kouri al rankontre l', li pase men l' nan kou pitit la epi li bo li.
21 The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
Pitit la di li: Papa, mwen peche kont Bondye, mwen peche kont ou menm tou; mwen pa merite pou ou konsidere m' pou pitit ou ankò.
22 "But the father said to his servants, 'Quickly, bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.
Men, papa a di domestik li yo: Ale vit. Pote pi bèl rad la, mete l' sou li pou mwen. Mete yon bag nan dwèt li, mete soulye nan pye li.
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate;
Al chache jenn ti towo nou t'ap angrese a, touye l'. Ann fete, ann manje.
24 for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.' They began to celebrate.
Paske, pitit gason m' sa a te mouri, men li tounen vivan ankò; li te pèdi, koulye a mwen jwenn li. Epi, yo kòmanse fè fèt.
25 "Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Lè sa a, pi gran gason an te nan jaden. Antan l'ap soti nan jaden, lè l' rive pre kay la, li tande mizik la ak vwa moun k'ap danse yo.
26 He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on.
Li rele yonn nan domestik yo, li mande li: Sak genyen?
27 He said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.'
Domestik la di li: Ti frè ou la tounen. Papa ou fè touye jenn ti towo nou t'ap angrese a, paske li jwenn msye an sante.
28 But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore his father came out, and pleaded with him.
Gran frè a fè kòlè, li derefize antre nan kay la. Papa a soti, li mande l' pou l' antre.
29 But he answered his father, 'Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
Men, gran frè a reponn papa a: Gade tout tan mwen genyen depi m'ap sèvi ou; mwen pa janm derespekte lòd ou. Men, ou pa janm ban m' yon ti kabrit menm pou m' fè fèt ak zanmi m' yo.
30 But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'
Men, lè pitit gason ou lan tounen, li menm ki fin gaspiye tout byen ou yo ak jennès, se pou li ou fè touye jenn towo nou t'ap angrese a.
31 "He said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
Papa a di li: Pitit mwen, ou toujou la avè m'; tout sa m' genyen se pou ou.
32 But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this brother of yours was dead and is alive; and he was lost, and is found.'"
Men, fòk kanmenm nou te fè fèt, nou pa t' ka pa kontan, paske frè ou la te mouri, men li tounen vivan, li te pèdi, mwen jwenn li koulye a.
