Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Pa jije moun pou Bondye pa jije nou,
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you.
paske Bondye va jije nou menm jan nou jije lòt yo. Mezi nou sèvi pou mezire lòt yo, se li menm menm Bondye va sèvi pou mezire nou tou.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Poukisa pou w'ap gade ti pay ki nan je frè ou, epi ou pa wè gwo bout bwa ki nan je pa ou la?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye?
Ou menm ki gen yon gwo bout bwa nan je ou la, kouman ou ka di frè ou: Kite m' wete ti pay ki nan je ou la?
5 Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
Ipokrit! Wete gwo bout bwa a ki nan je pa ou la anvan. Apre sa, wa wè klè pou ou ka wete ti pay ki nan je frè ou la.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you.
Piga nou bay chen bagay yo mete apa pou Bondye. Piga nou jete bèl grenn pèl nou yo devan kochon. Si nou fè sa, kochon yo va mache sou yo, epi y'a vire sou nou vin dechire nou.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Mande, y'a ban nou. Chache, n'a jwenn. Frape, y'a louvri pou nou.
8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Paske, nenpòt moun ki mande va resevwa. Moun ki chache va jwenn. y'a louvri pou moun ki frape.
9 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone;
Eske gen yonn nan nou ki va bay pitit li yon wòch si li mande l' yon pen?
10 or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?
Eske la ba li yon koulèv si pitit li mande l' yon pwason?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Si nou menm ki mechan jan nou mechan an, nou konn bay pitit nou yo bon bagay, nou pa bezwen mande si Papa nou ki nan syèl la p'ap ban nou bon bagay lè nou mande li.
12 All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Tou sa nou vle lòt moun fè pou nou, nou menm tou fè l' pou yo. Se sa lalwa Moyiz la ak liv pwofèt yo mande nou fè.
13 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many be they that enter in thereby.
Antre nan pòt jis la. Paske, pòt ki laj la, chemen ki fasil la ap mennen nou tou dwat nan lanmò. Gen anpil moun ki pase ladan li.
14 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few be they that find it.
Men, pòt ki jis la, chemen ki difisil la ap mennen nou tou dwat nan lavi. Pa gen anpil moun ki jwenn li.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
Pran prekosyon nou ak fo pwofèt yo. Yo pran pòz ti mouton yo lè y'ap vin sou nou, men nan fon kè yo, se bèt devoran yo ye.
16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do [men] gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
n'a rekonèt yo sou sa y'ap fè. Yo pa keyi rezen sou pye pikan. Ni yo pa keyi fig frans sou pye rakèt.
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Yon bon pyebwa bay bon donn. Men, yon move pyebwa bay move donn.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Yon bon pyebwa pa ka bay move donn. Nitou yon move pyebwa pa ka bay bon donn.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Nenpòt pyebwa ki pa bay bon donn, yo pral koupe sa jete nan dife.
20 Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Konsa tou, n'a rekonèt fo pwofèt yo sou sa y'ap fè.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Se pa tout moun k'ap plede di m': Mèt, Mèt, ki pral antre nan peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, men se sèlman moun ki fè volonte Papa m' ki nan syèl la.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out devils, and by thy name do many mighty works?
Lè jou sa a va rive, anpil moun va di m': Mèt, Mèt, se sou non ou nou t'ap bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye a. Se sou non ou nou te chase move lespri yo. Se sou non ou nou te fè anpil mirak.
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Lè sa a, m'a di yo: Mwen pa t' janm konnen nou. Wete kò nou sou mwen, nou menm k'ap fè sa ki mal.
24 Every one therefore which heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, which built his house upon the rock:
Konsa, moun ki tande pawòl mwen fenk sot di a, epi ki fè sa mwen mande li fè a, l'ap tankou yon moun lespri ki bati kay li sou wòch.
25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon the rock.
Lapli tonbe, dlo desann, gwo van soufle sou kay la ak tout fòs. Kay la pa tonbe, paske yo te moute fondasyon kay la sou wòch.
26 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
Men, moun ki tande pawòl mwen fenk sot di a, epi ki pa fè sa mwen mande li fè a, l'ap tankou yon moun fou ki bati kay li sou sab.
27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.
Lapli tonbe, dlo desann, gwo van soufle sou kay la ak tout fòs: kay la tonbe, li fini nèt ale.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:
Lè Jezi fin di pawòl sa yo, foul moun yo te sezi tande sa l' t'ap moutre yo.
29 for he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as their scribes.
Se pa t' menm jan ak dirèktè lalwa yo, paske li te pale ak yo tankou yon moun ki otorize.
