Lik 13
1 Lè sa a, yo vin rakonte Jezi ki jan, pandan yon sèvis yo t'ap fè, Pilat te fè touye kèk moun peyi Galile a, epi li fè melanje san yo ak san bèt yo t'ap ofri bay Bondye.
At that time, some people there told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate mixed with their own sacrifices.
2 Jezi reponn yo: Gen lè nou kwè se paske moun sa yo te fè pi gwo peche pase lòt moun Galile yo kifè yo te masakre yo konsa?
Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because they suffered in this way?
3 Mwen di nou: Non. Men, si nou menm nou pa tounen vin jwenn Bondye, nou tout n'ap peri menm jan an tou.
No, I tell you. But if you do not repent, all of you will perish in the same way.
4 Dizwit moun ki te mouri kraze lè gwo kay Siloe a te tonbe sou yo a, gen lè nou kwè yo te pi koupab pase tout lòt moun nan lavil Jerizalèm yo?
Or those eighteen people in Siloam on whom a tower fell and killed them, do you think they were worse sinners than other men in Jerusalem?
5 Mwen di nou: Non. Men, si nou menm nou pa tounen vin jwenn Bondye, nou tout n'ap peri menm jan an tou.
No, I say. But if you do not repent, all of you will also perish.”
6 Apre sa, Jezi di yo parabòl sa a: Yon nonm te gen yon pye fig frans plante nan jaden rezen li. Li vin chache fig frans ladan l', men li pa jwenn.
Jesus told this parable, “Someone had a fig tree planted in his vineyard and he came and looked for fruit on it but found none.
7 Lè sa a, li di jeran jaden an: Sa fè twazan depi m'ap vin chache fig nan pye fig frans sa a, mwen pa ka jwenn anyen. Koupe li non. Poukisa pou l' pran tout plas sa a nan tè a pou gremesi?
The man said to the gardener, 'Look, for three years I came and tried to find fruit on this fig tree and found none. Cut it down. Why let it waste the ground?'
8 Men, jeran an reponn li: Mèt, kite l' fè lanne sa a ankò. Mwen pral fouye yon twou fè wonn nan pye l', m'ap mete fimye ladan li.
The gardener answered and said, 'Leave it alone this year while I dig around it and put manure on it.
9 Konsa, li ka donnen. Si l' pa donnen, wa fè koupe l' lòt lanne.
If it bears fruit next year, good; but if it does not, cut it down!'”
10 Yon jou repo, Jezi t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay nan yon sinagòg.
Now Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues during the Sabbath.
11 Te gen yon fanm nan sinagòg la ki te malad. Depi dizwitan li te gen yon move lespri sou li ki te fè l' rete kokobe; li pa t' kapab kanpe dwat menm.
Behold, a woman was there who for eighteen years had a spirit of weakness. She was bent over and was not able to straighten up completely.
12 Lè Jezi wè l', li rele l', li di li: Mafi, ou delivre anba enfimite ou la tande.
When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, “Woman, you are freed from your weakness.”
13 Jezi lonje men l' sou li. Latou fanm lan kanpe dwat, li pran fè lwanj Bondye.
He placed his hands on her, and immediately she was straightened up and she glorified God.
14 Men, chèf sinagòg la pa t' kontan menm paske Jezi te fè gerizon an yon jou repo. Li pran lapawòl, li di foul la: Nou gen sis jou pou nou travay, vin fè yo geri nou jou sa yo. Pa vini jou repo a.
But the synagogue ruler was indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. So the ruler answered and said to the crowd, “There are six days in which it is necessary to work. Come and be healed then, not on the Sabbath day.”
15 Jezi reponn li: Ala ou ipokrit! Jou repo a, nou tout nou lage bèf nou ak bourik nou nan kay kote nou gade yo a, nou mennen yo al bwè dlo, pa vre?
The Lord answered him and said, “Hypocrites! Does not each of you untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead it to drink on the Sabbath?
16 Bon, fanm sa a, moun ras Abraram, ki gen dizwitan depi Satan mare l' anba yon maladi, mwen pa t' dwe delivre l' yon jou repo?
So too this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, should her bonds not be untied on the Sabbath day?”
17 Repons Jezi te ba yo a te fè tout moun ki pa t' vle wè l' yo wont. Men, tout moun nan foul la te kontan pou tout bèl mèvèy li t'ap fè yo.
As he said these things, all those who opposed him were ashamed, but the whole crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things he did.
18 Jezi di yo: Ak ki bagay peyi kote Bondye Wa a sanble? Kisa m' ta di l' sanble ankò?
Then Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like, and what can I compare it to?
19 Li tankou yon ti grenn moutad yon nonm pran pou li al simen nan jaden li. Li pouse, li vin yon pyebwa. Se konsa zwezo nan syèl la fè nich nan branch li yo.
It is like a mustard seed that a man took and threw into his garden, and it grew into a big tree, and the birds of heaven built their nests in its branches.”
20 Jezi di yo ankò: Ak kisa pou m' konpare peyi kote Bondye Wa a?
Again he said, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?
21 Li tankou ledven yon fanm pran li mete nan twa mezi farin pou fè tout pa t' la leve.
It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until it spread through all the flour.”
22 Jezi t'ap moute lavil Jerizalèm, li t'ap pase nan anpil lavil ak anpil bouk. Sou tout wout la, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay.
Then Jesus traveled through the towns and villages, teaching and making his way toward Jerusalem.
23 Yon moun mande li: Mèt, èske se de twa moun sèlman k'ap sove? Li reponn yo:
Someone said to him, “Lord, are only a few people to be saved?” So he said to them,
24 Fè jefò pou n' antre nan pòt jis la; paske, m'ap di nou sa, anpil moun va seye antre, yo p'ap kapab.
“Struggle to enter through the narrow door, because, I say to you, many will want to enter, but will not be able to enter.
25 Mèt kay la gen pou l' leve fèmen pòt la; lè sa a, nou menm n'a deyò. N'a kòmanse frape nan pòt la; n'a di: Mèt, Mèt, louvri pou nou! La reponn nou: Mwen pa konnen ki bò nou soti.
Once the owner of the house gets up and locks the door, then you will stand outside and pound the door and say, 'Lord, Lord, let us in.' He will answer and say to you, 'I do not know you or where you are from.'
26 Lè sa a n'a di: Nou te manje, nou te bwè ansanm avè ou, ou te moutre nou anpil bagay nan tout lari lakay nou.
Then you will say, 'We ate and drank in front of you and you taught in our streets.'
27 Men, la reponn nou: Mwen di nou, mwen pa konnen ki bò nou soti. Wete kò nou sou mwen, nou tout k'ap fè sa ki mal.
But he will reply, 'I say to you, I do not know where you are from. Get away from me, you evildoers!'
28 Lè n'a wè Abraram, Izarak, Jakòb ak tout pwofèt yo nan bèl peyi kote Bondye Wa a, epi nou menm nou deyò, se lè sa a va gen rèl, se lè sa a moun va manje dan yo.
There will be crying and the grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God's kingdom, but you are thrown out.
29 Moun va soti nan peyi solèy leve ak nan peyi solèy kouche, y'a soti nan nò ak nan sid, y'a chita sou tab nan bèl peyi kote Bondye Wa a.
They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and be seated at a table in the kingdom of God.
30 Lè sa a, nan moun ki dèyè nèt koulye a, genyen k'ap pase devan. Nan moun ki devan koulye a, genyen k'ap rete dèyè.
Know this, those who are least important will be first, and those who are most important will be last.”
31 Menm lè sa a, kèk farizyen pwoche bò kot Jezi, yo di li: Pa rete isit la, ale yon lòt kote, paske Ewòd vle touye ou.
Shortly after, some Pharisees came and said to him, “Go and leave here because Herod wants to kill you.”
32 Li reponn yo: Ale di chat mawon an: m'ap chase move lespri yo, m'ap geri moun malad jòdi a ak denmen, nan twa jou m'ap fin travay mwen.
Jesus said, “Go and tell that fox, 'Look, I cast out demons and perform healings today and tomorrow, and the third day I will reach my goal.'
33 Men, fòk mwen kontinye mache jòdi a, denmen ak apre denmen tou, paske sa pa bon pou yo touye yon pwofèt lòt kote pase nan lavil Jerizalèm.
In any case, it is necessary for me to continue on today, tomorrow, and the following day, since it is not acceptable to kill a prophet away from Jerusalem.
34 Jerizalèm, Jerizalèm, ou menm k'ap touye pwofèt yo, k'ap touye moun Bondye voye ba ou yo ak kout wòch, depi lontan mwen te vle sanble moun ou yo tankou yon manman poul sanble ti pitit li yo anba zèl li, men ou pa t' vle!
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to you. How often I desired to gather your children the way a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you did not desire this.
35 Enben, kay ou yo va rete san moun. M'ap di ou sa: nou p'ap wè m' ankò, jouk lè a va rive pou nou di: benediksyon pou moun ki vini nan non Mèt la.
See, your house is abandoned. I say to you, you will not see me until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'”
