Luke 16
1 And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.
Alò, Li t ap osi di a disip yo: “Te gen yon sèten mesye rich ki te gen yon jeran. Konsa, yon rapò te vin rive ke li t apgaspiye byen li yo.
2 And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for thou mayest be no longer steward.
Li te rele li, e te di li: ‘Kisa ke m tande sou ou la a? Bay yon kontwòl sou jerans ou, paske ou pa kab jeran ankò.’
3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.
“Jeran an te di a pwòp tèt li: ‘Kisa m ta fè, paske mèt mwen ap retire jerans lan nan men mwen? Mwen pa gen ase fòs pou m fouye, e mwen wont mande lacharite.
4 I am resolved what to do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Mwen konnen kisa mwen va fè, pou lè yo retire m nan jerans lan, pou moun yo kab resevwa m lakay pa yo a.’
5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
“Konsa, li te rele chak moun ki te dwe mèt li a. Li te kòmanse di a premye a: ‘Konbyen ou dwe mèt mwen an?’
6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
“Li te di: ‘San mezi lwil’. E li te di li: ‘Pran nòt ou e chita byen vit pou ekri senkant.’
7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.
“Answit, li te di a yon lòt: ‘Epi konbyen ou dwe? “Li te reponn: ‘San mezi ble.’ E li te di li: ‘Pran nòt ou pou ekri katreven.’
8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
“Konsa, mèt la te fè konpliman a jeran enjis la, paske li te aji avèk yon koken sajès. Paske fis a laj sila yo pi koken nan relasyon a moun parèy yo pasefis a limyè yo. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
“Mwen di nou: “Fè zanmi pou tèt nou pa mwayen arichès enjis yo; pou lè l echwe, yo kapab resevwa nou nan kay ki etènèl yo. (aiōnios g166)
10 He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
“Sila a ki fidèl nan yon ti bagay piti, ap fidèl osi nan bagay ki gran. E sila ki enjis nan ti bagay piti, ap enjis osi nan bagay ki gran.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
“Donk, si nou pa fidèl nan sèvisrichès enjis yo, kilès ki va konfye nou vrè richès yo.
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who will give you that which is your own?
Epi si nou pa fidèl nan sèvis ak sa ki pou yon lòt, kilès ki va bannou sa ki pou nou?
13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
“Okenn sèvitè pa kapab sèvi de mèt; paske swa l ap rayi youn, e renmen lòt la, oswa l ap kenbe a youn e meprize lòt la. Nou pa kapab sèvi Bondye, ak richès yo.”
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and they derided him.
Alò, Farizyen yo ki te renmen lajan anpil t ap koute tout bagay sa yo, e yo t ap moke L.
15 And he said to them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight of God.
Li te di yo: “Nou menm se sila yo ki jistifye pwòp tèt nou nan zye lèzòm, menBondye konnen kè nou. Paske sila ki gen gwo valè pami lèzòm yo, yo abominab nan zye Bondye.
16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
“Lalwa avèk pwofèt yo te pwoklame jiska Jean. Depi lè sa a bòn nouvèl a wayòm Bondye a preche, e tout moun ap fòse antre ladann.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Men li pi fasil pou syèl la avèk tè a vin disparèt pase pou yon sèl mak oubyen lèt Lalwa ta anile.
18 Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband, committeth adultery.
“Nenpòt moun ki divòse ak madanm li pou marye avèk yon lòt fè adiltè; e sila a ki marye a youn ki divòse ak yon mari, fè adiltè.
19 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
“Alò, te gen yon sèten mesye rich ki te toujou abiye an mov ak lèn fen, e ki t ap viv nan gran richès chak jou.
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores,
“Alò, yon sèten mesye pòv ki te rele Lazare tekouche devan pòtay li, kouvri nèt avèk maleng.
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores.
Li te byen anvi resevwa sèl ti mòso ki t ap tonbe soti sou tab mesye rich la. Anplis menm chen te konn vin pou niche maleng li yo.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried:
“Epi li rive ke nonm malere a te mouri, e li te vin pote pa zanj yo pou rive nan senAbraham nan. Konsa, mesye rich la te mouri tou, e li te antere.
23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Nanplas sejou mò yo, li te nan toumant. Li te leve zye li, e te wè Abraham byen lwen, ak Lazare nan sen li. (Hadēs g86)
24 And he cried, and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.
Li te kriye fò, e te di: ‘Papa Abraham, fè m gras, voye Lazare pou li kapab mete dwèt li nan dlo pou rafrechi lang mwen! Paske mwen nan doulè ekstrèm nan flanm sa a.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy life-time receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
“Men Abraham te di: ‘Pitit, sonje ke pandan lavi ou, ou te resevwa bon bagay yo. E menm jan an, Lazare te resevwa move bagay yo. Men koulye a, l ap konsole isit la, e ou menm nan gran doulè.
26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass to us, that [would come] from thence.
Anplis de sa, antre nou avèk ou menm, gen yon gran vid byen etabli pou anpeche sila isit yo ki vle travèse kote ou a, e ke pèsòn pa kapab travèse soti la a pou rive kote nou menm nan.’
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house:
“Pou sa li te di: ‘Alò, mwen sipliye ou Papa, pou ou voye li lakay papa m—
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Pwiske mwen gen senk frè—pou li kapab avèti yo, pou ke yo menm tou pa vini nan plas toumant sa a.’
29 Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
“Men Abraham te di: ‘Yo gen Moïse avèk pwofèt yo. Kite yo tande yo.’
30 And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will repent.
“Men li te di: ‘Non. Papa Abraham, men si yon moun ta sòti nan mò a, ale kote yo, yo va repanti!’
31 And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one shall rise from the dead.
“Men li te di yo: ‘Si yo pa koute Moïse avèk pwofèt yo, nonpli, yo p ap kwè menm si yon moun leve soti nan lanmò.
