Lik 12
1 Lè sa a, se pa ti kras moun ki te sanble; te sitèlman gen moun, yonn t'ap pile lòt. Jezi pran di disip li yo: Veye kò nou ak ledven farizyen yo, ak ti jan ipokrit yo a.
At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread on one another, He began to say to His disciples, first, “Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;
2 Pa gen anyen ki kache ki p'ap dekouvri yon lè, nanpwen sekrè ki p'ap devwale.
and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known;
3 Se poutèt sa, tou sa n'a di nan fènwa, y'a tande l' gwo lajounen; tout sa n'a di moun nan zòrèy anndan chanm, y'a mache di l' nan tout kalfou.
because whatever you said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you spoke to the ear in the inner-chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 Nou menm ki zanmi m', m'ap di nou sa. Nou pa bezwen pè moun ki touye kò men ki pa kapab fè anyen plis pase sa.
And I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything more to do;
5 M'ap moutre nou moun pou nou pè a: Se Bondye pou nou pè. Lè Bondye fin touye, li gen pouvwa pou l' jete nan lanfè apre sa. Wi, mwen di nou se li menm pou nou pè. (Geenna g1067)
but I will show to you whom you may fear: fear Him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to you, fear Him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Eske ti zwezo pa vann senk pou dis kòb? Men, Bondye pa bliye yon sèl ladan yo.
Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And one of them is not forgotten before God,
7 Menm cheve nan tèt nou, yo tout konte. Se sak fè, nou pa bezwen pè menm: nou vo pi plis pase anpil ti zwezo.
but even the hairs of your head have all been numbered; therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.
8 M'ap di nou sa: Moun ki va kanpe pou mwen devan lèzòm, mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, m'a fè menm bagay la pou li devan zanj Bondye yo.
And I say to you, everyone who may confess in Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess in him before the messengers of God,
9 Men, moun ki va di devan lèzòm li pa konnen m', mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, m'a kanpe devan zanj Bondye yo tou m'a di mwen pa konnen l'.
and he who has denied Me before men, will be denied before the messengers of God,
10 Tout moun ki pale mal sou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, y'a padonnen yo. Men, moun ki pale mal sou Sentespri a yo p'ap padonnen yo sa.
and everyone who will say a word to the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him, but the [one] having slandered to the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11 Lè y'a mennen nou pou yo jije nou nan sinagòg, osinon devan chèf ou ankò devan lòt otorite, pa bat tèt nou pou n' chache konnen ki jan nou pral fè defans nou, ni kisa pou n' di.
And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you may reply, or what you may say,
12 Paske, Sentespri a va moutre nou sa pou nou di lè sa a.
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what [you] should say.”
13 Yon moun rete nan mitan foul la, li di Jezi konsa: Mèt, di frè m' lan pou l' separe eritaj papa nou an avèk mwen.
And a certain one out of the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.”
14 Jezi reponn li: Zanmi mwen, ki moun ki mete m' pou jije afè nou osinon pou fè pataj pou nou?
And He said to him, “Man, who set Me a judge or a divider over you?”
15 Apre sa, li di yo tout: Fè atansyon. Veye kò nou pou lajan pa pran tèt nou. Paske, se pa anpil byen ki garanti lavi yon nonm, li te mèt rich kont kò li.
And He said to them, “Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because his life is not in the abundance of one’s goods.”
16 Li di yo parabòl sa a tou: Vwala, se te yon nonm rich ki te gen yon tè ki te rapòte l' anpil.
And He spoke an allegory to them, saying, “Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
17 Li t'ap di nan kè li: Kisa pou m' fè? Mwen pa gen plas pou m' sere rekòt mwen yo.
and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What will I do, because I have nowhere I will gather together my fruits?
18 Apre sa li di: Bon. Men sa m'ap fè; m'ap kraze depo m' yo, m'ap bati lòt pi gwo pou m' mete tout rekòt mwen yo ak tout lòt byen mwen yo.
And he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and I will build greater ones, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,
19 Apre sa, m'a di tèt mwen: Monchè, ou gen anpil byen an depò pou plizyè lanne. Pa fatige kò ou ankò. Manje, bwè, pran plezi ou.
and I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.
20 Men, Bondye di li: Egare! Aswè a menm yo pral mande ou nanm ou. Tou sa ou te sere yo, pou ki moun y'a ye?
And God said to him, Unthinking [one]! This night your life is required of you, and what things you prepared—to whom will they be [given]?
21 Jezi di yo ankò: Se konsa sa ye tou pou moun k'ap ranmase byen pou tèt pa l' men ki pa rich devan Bondye.
So [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.”
22 Apre sa, Jezi di disip li yo: Se poutèt sa mwen di nou: Pa bat kò nou pou manje nou bezwen pou nou viv, ni pou rad nou bezwen pou mete sou nou.
And He said to His disciples, “Because of this, to you I say, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat; nor for the body, what you may put on;
23 Lavi pi konsekan pase manje, kò pi konsekan pase rad.
life is more than nourishment, and the body than clothing.
24 Gade zwezo yo rele kònèy la: yo pa plante, yo pa fè rekòt; yo pa gen ni depo ni galata. Men, Bondye ba yo manje. Nou menm nou vo pi plis pase zwezo yo, pa vre?
Consider the ravens, that they do not sow, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God nourishes them; how much better are you than the birds?
25 Kilès nan nou ki ka mete kek lanne an plis sou lavi l' afòs li fè tèt li travay?
And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
26 Si nou pa ka fè bagay ki pi piti a, poukisa pou n'ap bat tèt nou pou lòt bagay yo?
If, then, you are not able for the least—why are you anxious for the rest?
27 Gade ki jan flè raje yo pouse: yo pa travay, yo pa fè rad. Men, m'ap di nou sa: Wa Salomon ki wa Salomon, ak tout richès li yo, li pa t' gen bèl rad tankou yonn nan flè sa yo.
Consider the lilies, how do they grow? They do not labor, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these;
28 Se konsa Bondye abiye pye zèb yo tou: jòdi a yo la, men denmen yo jete sa nan dife pou chofe fou. Se sak fè, se pa nou menm li pa ta abiye. Ala moun manke konfyans nan Bondye!
and if the herbage in the field, that today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, God so clothes, how much more you of little faith?
29 Pa bay kò nou traka pou n' toujou ap chache sa pou n' manje ak sa pou n' bwè.
And you—do not seek what you may eat, or what you may drink, and do not be in suspense,
30 Tout bagay sa yo, se moun lòt nasyon sou latè yo k'ap chache yo tout tan san rete. Men nou menm, nou gen yon Papa ki konnen nou bezwen tout bagay sa yo.
for the nations of the world seek after all these things, and your Father has known that you have need of these things;
31 Pito nou chache bay bagay peyi kote Bondye Wa a premye plas nan lavi nou, konsa Bondye va ban nou tou sa nou bezwen.
but seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
32 Nou pa bezwen pè, nou menm ti bann mouton yo, paske se tout plezi papa nou pou l' ban nou peyi kote Bondye Wa a.
Do not fear, little flock, because your Father delighted to give you the kingdom;
33 Vann tou sa nou genyen, separe lajan an bay pòv. Chache yon bous ki p'ap chire. Sere lajan nou nan syèl kote li p'ap janm fini. Paske la, vòlò p'ap ka jwenn li, poudbwa p'ap kapab manje li.
sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that do not become old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief does not come near, nor moth destroy;
34 Kote richès ou ye, se la kè ou ye tou.
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 Se pou nou toujou pare ak ponyèt nou tou twouse, lanp nou tou limen,
Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
36 tankou domestik k'ap tann mèt yo tounen sot nan nòs. Kou l' rive, li frape, yo louvri pòt pou li.
and you [be] like to men waiting for their lord when he will return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.
37 L'ap bon nèt pou domestik sa yo lè mèt la p'ap jwenn yo ap dòmi! Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi. Mèt la va twouse ponyèt li, l'ap fè domestik yo chita sou tab, la vin sèvi yo.
Blessed those servants, whom the lord, having come, will find watching; truly I say to you that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline, and having come near, will minister to them;
38 Wi, l'ap bon nèt pou domestik sa yo, si l' jwenn yo p'ap dòmi, kit li tounen vè menwit osinon menm pita toujou.
and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, blessed are those servants.
39 Se yon bagay nou tout nou dwe konnen: Si mèt kay la te konn kilè vòlò ap vini, li ta veye, li pa ta kite l' kase kay la.
And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken through;
40 Nou menm tou, se pou n' toujou pare, paske Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va vini lè nou pa ta kwè!
and you, then, become ready, because at the hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.”
41 Lè sa a Pyè di li: Mèt, parabòl sa a, se pou nou menm sèlman osinon pou tout moun ou di li?
And Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this allegory to us, or also to all?”
42 Jezi reponn li: Ki moun ki ka di li se yon jeran ki fè tout travay li byen, epi ki konn kenbe tèt li anplas? Se moun sa a mèt kay la va mete pou veye sou tout moun nan kay la, pou bay lòt domestik yo manje lè pou yo manje.
And the LORD said, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord will set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?
43 Se va bèl bagay pou domestik sa a, si mèt la jwenn li ap fè travay li lè l' tounen lakay la.
Blessed that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;
44 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: mèt la va mete l' reskonsab tout byen l' yo.
truly I say to you that he will set him over all his goods.
45 Men, si domestik sa a te di nan kè l': Mèt mwen ap fè reta. Li poko ap vini. Epi, li tonbe bat lòt sèvitè yo, fi kou gason, li rete ap plede manje, bwè jouk li sou;
And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and may begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken,
46 mèt domestik sa a va rive jou l' pa t'ap tann, yon lè li p'ap konnen. L'ap rachonnen l' anba kou, l'ap aji avè l' menm jan yo aji ak moun ki pa fè travay yo.
the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not look for [him], and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him off, and he will appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
47 Yon domestik ki konnen sa mèt li vle, men ki pa janm pare epi ki pa fè sa mèt la vle, domestik sa a anba kou.
And that servant, who having known his lord’s will, and having not prepared, nor having gone according to his will, will be beaten with many stripes,
48 Men, yon domestik ki pa konn sa mèt li vle, lèfini k'ap fè bagay ki merite pou yo bat li, y'ap bay domestik sa a de twa kou sèlman. Moun yo bay anpil, y'ap mande l' anpil tou. Moun yo mete reskonsab anpil bagay, y'ap egzije plis ankò nan men li.
and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few; and to everyone to whom much was given, much will be required from him; and to whom they committed much, more abundantly they will ask of him.
49 Mwen vini jete yon dife sou latè. Mwen ta renmen wè dife sa a limen deja!
I came to cast fire to the earth, and what I wish [is] if it were already kindled!
50 Mwen gen yon batèm pou m' resevwa. Men, mwen twouve l' pran anpil tan pou l' rive.
But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how I am pressed until it may be accomplished!
51 Nou kwè mwen vin mete lapè sou latè. Mwen di nou: Non, mwen vin mete divizyon.
Do you think that I came to give peace in the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division;
52 Depi koulye a, yon fanmi ki gen senk moun va divize, twa kont de, de kont twa.
for there will be from now on five in one house divided—three against two, and two against three;
53 Papa va leve kont pitit gason, pitit gason va leve kont papa, manman va leve kont pitit fi, pitit fi va leve kont manman, bèlmè va leve kont bèlfi, bèlfi va leve kont bèlmè.
a father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
54 Jezi t'ap di foul moun yo tou: Lè nou wè yon nwaj ap leve bò kote solèy kouche a, lamenm nou di: Li pral fe lapli. Epi se sak rive vre.
And He also said to the multitudes, “When you may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, A shower comes, and it is so;
55 Lè nou wè van an soufle soti nan sid, nou di: Li pral fè cho. E se sak rive vre.
and when a south wind is blowing, you say that there will be heat, and it is;
56 Ipokrit, nou konn ki sans pou nou bay bagay k'ap pase sou tè a ak nan syèl la, poukisa atò nou pa konn ki sans pou nou bay bagay k'ap pase koulye a nan tan sa a?
hypocrites! You have known to discern the face of the earth and of the sky, but how do you not discern this time?
57 Poukisa nou pa chache konprann pou tèt pa nou sa nou dwe fè ki dwat?
And why, also, of yourselves, do you not judge what is righteous?
58 Si yon moun pote plent lajistis pou ou, si nou tou de nou pral nan tribinal ansanm, pito n' chache antann nou pandan nou nan chemen. Si se pa sa, l'ap trennen ou devan jij la, jij la ap lage ou nan men lapolis, lapolis ap mete ou nan prizon.
For as you are going away with your opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast you into prison;
59 M'ap di ou sa: ou p'ap soti nan prizon an tout tan ou pa peye dènye lajan ou dwe a.
I say to you, you may not come forth from there until even the last mite you may give back.”
