Lik 14
1 Yon jou repo, Jezi te al lakay yonn nan chèf farizyen yo pou l' manje. Moun ki te la yo t'ap veye li.
And it came to passe that when he was entred into the house of one of the chiefe Pharises on the Sabbath day, to eate bread, they watched him.
2 Yon nonm ki te gen maladi anfle te la devan Jezi.
And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.
3 Jezi pran lapawòl, li mande dirèkte lalwa ak farizyen yo: Eske lalwa pèmèt moun fè gerizon jou repo a, wi ou non?
Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?
4 Yo pa reponn li. Lè sa a, Jezi pran nonm malad la, li geri l', epi li voye l' ale.
And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,
5 Apre sa, li di yo: Si yonn nan nou gen yon pitit gason l' osinon yon bèf li ki tonbe nan yon pi yon jou repo, èske li p'ap wete l' menm lè a?
And answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse, or an oxe fallen into a pit, and wil not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?
6 Yo pa t' kapab reponn li anyen sou sa.
And they could not answere him againe to those things.
7 Jezi te wè ki jan moun yo te envite yo t'ap chwazi pi bon plas. Li rakonte parabòl sa a pou yo tout, li di:
He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them,
8 Lè yo envite ou nan yon nòs, pa al chita nan pi bon plas la. Paske, si nan envite yo gen yon moun ki pi enpòtan pase ou,
When thou shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thy selfe downe in the chiefest place, lest a more honourable man then thou, be bidden of him,
9 moun ki envite nou toulède a kapab vin di ou: Bay moun sa a plas la. Lè sa a, wa wont, wa blije al chita nan plas dèyè.
And he that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Giue this man roome, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest roome.
10 Men, lè yo envite ou, mete kò ou dèyè; konsa, lè moun ki envite ou la vini, la ka di ou: Zanmi mwen, pase pi devan nan yon pi bon plas. Lè sa a, se va yon lwanj pou ou devan tout moun ki chita bò tab la ansanm ak ou yo.
But when thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roome, that when he that bade thee, cometh, he may say vnto thee, Friende, sit vp hier: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.
11 Se konsa, moun ki vle leve tèt li, y'a desann li, moun ki desann tèt li, y'a leve li.
For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.
12 Jezi pale ak moun ki te envite l' la. Li di li: Lè w'ap fè yon fèt, piti ou gwo, pa envite ni zanmi ou, ni frè ou, ni fanmi ou, ni vwazen ou yo ki rich. Paske, yon lè y'a envite ou tou. Konsa, se tankou si yo ta renmèt ou sa ou te fè a.
Then said he also to him that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friendes, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor ye riche neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.
13 Men, lè w'ap fè yon fèt, envite pòv yo, enfim yo, moun k'ap bwete, moun avèg yo.
But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind,
14 Konsa, se va yon benediksyon, paske yo p'ap kapab rann ou laparèy. Se Bondye ki va renmèt ou sa lè tout moun ki fè byen yo va leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.
15 Lè l' tande pawòl sa yo, yonn nan moun ki te chita bò tab la di Jezi konsa: Se va yon gwo benediksyon pou moun ki va chita bò tab pou manje nan peyi kote Bondye Wa a.
Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God.
16 Jezi reponn li: Vwala, se te yon nonm ki te fè yon gwo fèt, li te envite anpil moun.
Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many,
17 Lè pou fèt la kòmanse, li voye domestik li di envite yo: Vini non, tout bagay fin pare koulye a.
And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.
18 Men, tout envite yo, yonn apre lòt, pran fè eskiz. Premye a di li: Mwen fèk achte yon tè, fòk m' al wè li. Tanpri, eskize mwen.
But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue me excused.
19 Yon lòt di li: Mwen fèk achte senk pè bèf; mwen pral seye yo. Tanpri, eskize mwen.
And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.
20 Yon lòt di: Mwen fèk sot marye, se poutèt sa mwen pa ka ale.
And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.
21 Domestik la tounen, li rapòte tout repons sa yo bay mèt li. Lè sa a, mèt kay la vin ankòlè; li di domestik la: Ale vit sou tout plas yo ak nan tout lari, mennen tout pòv yo vin isit, tout enfim yo, tout moun avèg ak moun k'ap bwete yo.
So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.
22 Apre sa, domestik la di: Mèt, nou fè tou sa ou te mande nou fè, men gen plas toujou.
And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.
23 Mèt la di domestik la: Ale nan gran chemen ak nan tout ti wout. Mezi moun wa jwenn, fè yo antre pou kay mwen an ka plen.
Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled.
24 Paske, m'ap di nou sa: Nan moun mwen te envite yo, pa gen yon sèl ladan yo k'ap goute nan manje m' lan.
For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
25 Lè sa a, te gen anpil anpil moun ki t'ap fè wout ansanm ak Jezi. Li vire, li di yo:
Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them,
26 Yon moun ki vin jwenn mwen, si li pa rayi papa l', manman l', pitit li, frè l', sè l', menm pwòp tèt pa l', li pa kapab disip mwen.
If any man come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple.
27 Moun ki pa pote kwa l' epi ki pa swiv mwen, li pa kapab disip mwen non plis.
And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple.
28 Si yonn nan nou vle fè yon gwo batisman, premye bagay pou l' fè: se pou l' chita pou l' kalkile konbe sa pral koute l' pou l' wè si li gen kont lajan pou l' fin fè travay la.
For which of you minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it,
29 Si l' pa fè sa, l'ap fin poze fondasyon an, epi l' p'ap ka fini batisman an. Lè sa a, tout moun ki va wè sa va pran pase l' nan betiz.
Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,
30 Y'a di: Nonm lan kòmanse bati, men li pa kapab fini.
Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?
31 Konsa tou, si yon wa vle fè lagè ak yon lòt wa, premye bagay pou l' fè: l'ap chita pou l' egzaminen bagay la byen, pou l' wè si, avèk dimil (10.000) òm, li kapab mache kontre lòt wa a k'ap mache sou li ak venmil (20.000) òm.
Or what King going to make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?
32 Si li pa kapab, antan lòt wa a lwen toujou, l'ap voye kèk mesaje bò kote l' pou mande l' fè aranjman.
Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.
33 Jezi di yo ankò: Konsa tou, nou yonn la a pa kab disip mwen, si l' pa detache kè l' sou tou sa l' genyen.
So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34 Sèl, se yon bon bagay; men si sèl la pèdi gou l', ak kisa pou n' fè l' sale ankò?
Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?
35 Lè sa a, sèl la pa bon pou mete ni nan jaden ni nan fimye, se jete pou yo voye sa jete. Si nou gen zòrèy pou n' tande, tande.
It is neither meete for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
