Luke 7
1 After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Lè Jezi fin pale tout pawòl sa yo ak pèp la, li ale lavil Kapènawòm.
2 And, a certain centurion’s servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, —who was, by him, highly prized.
Nan lavil sa a, yon kaptenn lame a te gen yon domestik li te renmen anpil. Domestik sa a te twouve l' malad prèt pou mouri.
3 But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through.
Kaptenn lan tande pale sou Jezi; se konsa li voye kèk chèf fanmi nan jwif yo al mande Jezi pou l' vin geri domestik li a.
4 And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying—Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this,
Yo rive bò kot Jezi, yo di li: Tanpri, fè sa pou li, li merite li. Paske li renmen pèp nou an.
5 for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us.
Se li ki te bati sinagòg la pou nou.
6 And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him—Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.
Jezi ale avè yo. Li te rive toupre kay la lè kaptenn lan voye kèk zanmi di l' konsa: Mèt, pa bay kò ou tout traka sa a. Mwen pa merite pou ou antre lakay mwen.
7 Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, —but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed.
Se poutèt sa mwen pa t' kwè m' ase bon pou m' te vin jwenn ou, mwen menm. Annik di yon mo, domestik mwen an va geri.
8 For, I too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; and I say to this one—Go! and he goeth, —and to another—Come! and he cometh, —and to my servant—Do this! and he doeth it.
Mwen menm, mwen sou zòd chèf, mwen gen sòlda sou zòd mwen tou. Lè m' di yonn: Ale! li ale. Lè m' di yon lòt: Vini! li vini. Lè m' di domestik mwen an: Fè sa! li fè li.
9 And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said—I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!
Lè Jezi tande pawòl sa yo, li vin gen yon gwo admirasyon pou kaptenn lan. Li vire bò foul moun ki t'ap swiv li a, li di yo: M'ap di nou sa: Mwen poko janm jwenn yon moun ki gen konfyans nan Bondye konsa, pa menm nan pèp Izrayèl la.
10 And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
Lè zanmi kaptenn lan te voye yo tounen nan kay la, yo jwenn domestik ki te malad la geri.
11 And it came to pass thereafter, that he journeyed unto a city called Nain, and there were journeying with him, his disciples and a great multitude.
Apre sa, Jezi ale nan yon lavil yo rele Nayen. Disip li yo t'ap fè wout avè l' ansanm ak yon gwo foul moun.
12 Now, as he drew near unto the gate of the city, then lo! there was being brought forth, one dead, the only-begotten son of his mother, —and, she, was a widow; and, a considerable multitude of the city, was with her.
Li rive bò pòtay lavil la. Lè sa a yo t'ap pote yon mò al antere: se te sèl pitit gason yon madanm vèv. Te gen anpil moun lavil la avèk li.
13 And, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over her, and said to her—Be not weeping!
Lè Jezi wè vèv la, kè l' fè l' mal pou li, li di li: Pa kriye, tande!
14 And, going forward, he touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still; and he said—Young man! to thee, I say, Arise!
Apre sa li pwoche, li manyen sèkèy la. Moun ki t'ap pote l' yo ret kanpe. Li di: Jennonm, se mwen menm k'ap pale avè ou. Leve.
15 And the dead man sat up, and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
Epi mò a leve chita, li kòmanse pale. Jezi renmèt li bay manman li.
16 And fear seized them, all, and they began to glorify God, saying—A great prophet, hath been raised up amongst us! and—God hath visited his people!
Tout moun yo te pè, yo t'ap fè lwanj Bondye, yo t'ap di: Yon gwo pwofèt parèt nan mitan nou! Yo t'ap di tou: Bondye vin sove pèp li a.
17 And this report went forth throughout the whole of Judaea, and all the surrounding country.
Nouvèl la te gaye nan tout peyi Jide a ak nan tout vwazinaj la.
18 And John’s disciples carried tidings unto him concerning all these things.
Patizan Jan Batis yo te rakonte tout bagay sa yo bay Jan Batis.
19 And, calling unto him certain two of his disciples, John sent unto the Lord, saying—Art, thou, the Coming One, or, a different one, are we to expect?
Jan rele de ladan yo, li voye yo bò kot Jezi al mande li: Eske ou se moun nou konnen ki gen pou vini an, osinon èske nou dwe tann yon lòt?
20 And, coming near unto him, the men said—John the Immerser, hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art, thou, the Coming One, or, another, are we to expect?
Lè mesye sa yo rive bò kot Jezi, yo di li: Jan Batis voye nou bò kote ou vin mande ou: Eske ou se moun nou konnen ki gen pou vini an, osinon èske nou dwe tann yon lòt?
21 In that very hour, he cured many from diseases, and plagues, and wicked spirits; and, unto many blind, gave he the favour to see.
Lè sa a, Jezi t'ap geri anpil moun malad ak anpil moun enfim, li t'ap wete yo anba pouvwa move lespri, li t'ap fè anpil avèg wè ankò.
22 And, answering, he said unto them—Go and bear tidings unto John, as to what ye have seen and heard: The blind, are receiving sight, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, the dead, are raised, the destitute, are told the glad-message;
Apre sa, li reponn moun Jan Batis te voye yo konsa: Ale rakonte Jan sa nou sot wè ak sa nou sot tande la a: je avèg yo louvri, moun ki t'ap bwete yo mache byen, moun ki te gen maladi lalèp yo geri, moun soudè yo tande, moun mouri yo leve, pòv yo tande bon nouvèl la.
23 And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find occasion of stumbling in me!
benediksyon pou moun ki p'ap jwenn nan mwen okazyon pou yo tonbe nan peche.
24 And, the messengers of John having departed, he began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John—What went ye forth into the desert to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken?
Lè moun Jan te voye yo al fè wout yo, Jezi kòmanse pale ak foul moun yo sou Jan Batis. Li di yo konsa: Kisa nou te al wè nan dezè a? Yon pye wozo van ap balanse? Non.
25 But what went ye forth to see? A man, in soft garments, arrayed? Lo! they who in splendid apparel and luxury are found, are, in the kingly courts.
Men, kisa nou te al wè menm? Yon nonm abiye ak bèl rad? Ala, moun ki abiye ak bèl rad, k'ap viv nan jwisans, se kay wa yo jwenn yo.
26 But what went ye forth to see? A prophet? Yea! I say unto you, —and abundantly more than a prophet.
Men, manyè di m' kisa nou tal wè? Yon pwofèt? Wi. Mwen menm, mwen di nou: li pi plis pase yon pwofèt.
27 This, is he concerning whom it is written—Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
Men sa ki te ekri sou Jan Batis: Men m'ap voye mesaje m' lan devan ou, la louvri chemen an devan pou ou.
28 I say unto you—A greater, among them that are born of women, than John, is there none; but, he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
M'ap di nou sa: Nan tout moun ki fèt sou latè pa gen yonn ki pi konsekan pase Jan Batis. Men, moun ki pi piti nan peyi kote Bondye wa a pi konsekan pase li.
29 And, all the people, when they heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John;
Tout pèp la ansanm ak pèseptè kontribisyon yo t'ap tande li. Moun sa yo te rekonèt se Bondye ki gen rezon, se pou sa yo te fè Jan Batis batize yo.
30 but, the Pharisees and the lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him.
Men, farizyen yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo te refize sa Bondye te vle fè pou yo; se sak fè yo pa t' kite Jan Batis batize yo.
31 Unto what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? And unto what are they like?
Jezi di yo ankò: Ak ki moun mwen ta konpare moun k'ap viv nan tan alèkile yo? Ki moun yo sanble menm?
32 They are like unto the children sitting, in a market-place, and calling one to another, who say—We played the flute for you, and ye danced not, We wailed, and ye wept not.
Yo sanble timoun ki chita sou plas piblik. Yonn ap rele lòt pou di l' konsa: Nou jwe mizik cho pou nou ak fif nou, nou pa danse. Nou chante chante ki tris pou nou, nou pa kriye.
33 For John the Immerser hath come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say—A demon, he hath:
Jan Batis vini, li pa manje pen, ni li pa bwè diven, nou di: Li gen yon move lespri sou li.
34 The Son of Man hath come, eating and drinking, and ye say—Lo! a man, gluttonous and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners.
Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen vini, mwen manje, mwen bwè, nou di: Gade yon nonm! Se manje ak bwè ase l' konnen; se zanmi pèseptè kontribisyon ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal li ye.
35 And yet wisdom hath been justified by all her children.
Men, tout moun ki asepte bon konprann Bondye a, yo moutre se Bondye nan bon konprann li ki gen rezon.
36 And a certain one of the Pharisees was requesting him, that he would eat with him; and, entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined.
Yon farizyen te envite Jezi vin manje avè li. Jezi ale lakay farizyen an; li chita bò tab la pou l' manje.
37 And, lo! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume,
Nan lavil sa a, te gen yon fanm movèz vi. Lè fanm lan pran nouvèl Jezi t'ap manje lakay farizyen an, li pote yon ti boutèy fèt an albat plen odè.
38 and standing behind, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off [the tears], and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.
Li mete kò l' dèyè bò pye Jezi. Li kriye, li kriye, li mouye pye Jezi ak dlo ki t'ap soti nan je li. Apre sa, li siye yo ak cheve l', li bo yo, epi li vide odè sou yo.
39 But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that she is, a sinner.
Lè farizyen ki te envite Jezi a wè sa, li t'ap di nan kè l': Si nonm sa a te yon pwofèt vre, se pou l' ta konnen ki kalite moun fanm sa k'ap manyen l' lan ye, li ta konnen ki movèz vi fanm sa a ap mennen.
40 And, making answer, Jesus said unto him—Simon! I have, unto thee, something to say. He, then—Teacher, speak!—saith he.
Lè sa a, Jezi pran lapawòl, li di l' konsa: Simon, mwen gen kichòy pou m' di ou. Simon reponn li: Mèt, ou mèt pale wi.
41 Two debtors, there were, to a certain creditor, —the one, owed five hundred denaries, and, the other, fifty.
Jezi di li: Vwala, se te de moun ki te dwe yon nonm ki te prete yo lajan; premye a te dwe l' senksan (500) goud; lòt la te dwe l' senkant goud.
42 they not having wherewith to pay, he forgave, both. Which of them, therefore, will love him, more?
Ni yonn ni lòt pa t' gen dekwa peye dèt la. Lè sa a, nonm lan di yo yo pa bezwen peye dèt la ankò. Kilès nan yo de a va renmen l' plis?
43 Making answer, Simon said—I suppose, that he to whom, the more, he forgave. And, he, said unto him—Rightly, hast thou judged.
Simon reponn li: Mwen ta kwè se nonm ki te dwe l' plis la. Jezi di l': Ou byen reponn.
44 And, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said—Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, —but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off [the tears].
Epi li vire bò fanm lan, li di Simon: Ou wè fanm sa a? Mwen antre lakay ou, ou pa menm ban m' dlo pou m' lave pye m'; men li menm, li lave pye m' ak dlo ki soti nan je l'. Apre sa, li siye yo ak cheve li.
45 A kiss, to me, thou didst not give, —but, she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased tenderly kissing my feet.
Ou pa te bo m' lè m' t'ap antre lakay ou; men li menm, depi mwen antre se bo l'ap bo pye m'.
46 With oil, my head, thou didst not anoint, —but, she, with perfume, hath anointed, my feet.
Ou pa vide lwil sou tèt mwen; men li menm, li vide odè sou pye mwen.
47 For which cause, I say unto thee—Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.
Se poutèt sa, mwen di ou: li fè tout bagay sa yo pou moutre jan li renmen anpil, paske yo padonnen li anpil peche. Men, yon moun yo padonnen yon ti kras, se yon ti kras l'ap moutre jan l' renmen tou.
48 And he said unto her—Thy sins have been forgiven.
Apre sa, Jezi di fanm lan: Peche ou yo padonnen.
49 And they who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves—Who is, this, that, even forgiveth sins?
Moun ki te chita bò tab la avèk li yo pran di nan kè yo: Ki moun nonm sa a ye menm pou li padonnen peche?
50 But he said unto the woman—Thy faith, hath saved thee, —Go thy way into peace.
Men Jezi di fanm lan: Se konfyans ou nan Bondye ki sove ou. Ale ak kè poze.
