Matthew 7
1 "Judge not, that you may not be judged;
Pa jije moun pou Bondye pa jije nou,
2 for your own judgement will be dealt--and your own measure meted--to yourselves.
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 do you look at the splinter in your brother's eye, and not notice the beam which is in your 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 say to your brother, 'Allow me to take the splinter out of your eye,' while the beam is in your 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 Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to remove the splinter from your 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 to the dogs, nor throw your pearls to the swine; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and then turn and attack 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 will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
Mande, y'a ban nou. Chache, n'a jwenn. Frape, y'a louvri pou nou.
8 For it is always he who asks that receives, he who seeks that finds, and he who knocks that has the door opened to him.
Paske, nenpòt moun ki mande va resevwa. Moun ki chache va jwenn. y'a louvri pou moun ki frape.
9 What man is there among you, who if his son shall ask him for bread will offer him a stone?
Eske gen yonn nan nou ki va bay pitit li yon wòch si li mande l' yon pen?
10 Or if the son shall ask him for a fish will offer him a snake?
Eske la ba li yon koulèv si pitit li mande l' yon pwason?
11 If you then, imperfect as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good things to those who 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 Everything, therefore, be it what it may, that you would have men do to you, do you also the same to them; for in this the Law and the Prophets are summed up.
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 by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad the road which leads to ruin, and many there are who enter by it;
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 because narrow is the gate and contracted the road which leads to Life, and few are those who 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 the false teachers--men who come to you in sheep's fleeces, but beneath that disguise they are ravenous 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 you will easily recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thorns or figs from brambles?
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 Just so every good tree produces good fruit, but a poisonous tree produces bad fruit.
Yon bon pyebwa bay bon donn. Men, yon move pyebwa bay move donn.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor a poisonous tree good fruit.
Yon bon pyebwa pa ka bay move donn. Nitou yon move pyebwa pa ka bay bon donn.
19 Every tree which does not yield good fruit is cut down and thrown aside for burning.
Nenpòt pyebwa ki pa bay bon donn, yo pral koupe sa jete nan dife.
20 So by their fruits at any rate, you will easily recognize them.
Konsa tou, n'a rekonèt fo pwofèt yo sou sa y'ap fè.
21 "Not every one who says to me, 'Master, Master,' will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens, but only those who are obedient to my Father who 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 on that day, "'Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Thy name, and in Thy name expelled demons, and in Thy name performed 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 I will tell them plainly, "'I never knew you: begone from me, you doers of wickedness.'
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 who hears these my teachings and acts upon them will be found to resemble a wise man who builds his house upon 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 heavy rain falls, the swollen torrents come, and the winds blow and beat against the house; yet it does not fall, for its foundation is on 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 who hears these my teachings and does not act upon them will be found to resemble a fool who builds his house upon 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 The heavy rain descends, the swollen torrents come, and the winds blow and burst upon the house, and it falls; and disastrous is the fall."
Lapli tonbe, dlo desann, gwo van soufle sou kay la ak tout fòs: kay la tonbe, li fini nèt ale.
28 When Jesus had concluded this discourse, the crowds were filled with amazement 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 had been teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their Scribes taught.
Se pa t' menm jan ak dirèktè lalwa yo, paske li te pale ak yo tankou yon moun ki otorize.
