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 pass when He entered into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching Him.
2 Yon nonm ki te gen maladi anfle te la devan Jezi.
And, behold, a certain dropsical man was before Him.
3 Jezi pran lapawòl, li mande dirèkte lalwa ak farizyen yo: Eske lalwa pèmèt moun fè gerizon jou repo a, wi ou non?
And Jesus responding spoke to the theologians and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath-day, or not? and they were silent.
4 Yo pa reponn li. Lè sa a, Jezi pran nonm malad la, li geri l', epi li voye l' ale.
And taking him by the hand, He healed him, and sent him away.
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 responding to them He said; Of which one of you shall his son or his ox fall into a pit, and will he not immediately lift him out on the Sabbath-day?
6 Yo pa t' kapab reponn li anyen sou sa.
and they were not able to respond to these 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:
And He spoke a parable to those whom He had called, warning them that they should not choose the first couches; saying to 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 you may be called by any one to a marriage feast, do not sit down upon the first couch; lest one more worthy than thee may have been called by 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 the one having called thee and him, having come in shall say to thee, Give place to him; and then thou shalt with shame begin to take the last place.
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 you may be invited, coming in sit down in the last place; in order that when the one having invited thee may come, he will say to thee, Friend, come up higher: then there will be glory to thee in the presence of all those sitting along with thee.
11 Se konsa, moun ki vle leve tèt li, y'a desann li, moun ki desann tèt li, y'a leve li.
Because every one who shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself 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.
And He spoke to the one having also invited Him, When you may make a dinner or a supper, do not call your rich friends, nor your brothers, nor your kindred, nor your neighbors; lest they may also invite thee in turn, and there may be a recompense unto thee.
13 Men, lè w'ap fè yon fèt, envite pòv yo, enfim yo, moun k'ap bwete, moun avèg yo.
But when you may make a feast, invite the poor, maimed, lame, 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 happy; because they have nothing with which to recompense thee: and it shall be recompensed unto thee in the resurrection of the just.
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.
And a certain one of those sitting together, hearing these things, said to Him, Happy is he whosoever eateth bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Jezi reponn li: Vwala, se te yon nonm ki te fè yon gwo fèt, li te envite anpil moun.
And He said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many;
17 Lè pou fèt la kòmanse, li voye domestik li di envite yo: Vini non, tout bagay fin pare koulye a.
and at the hour, of the supper he sent his servants to say to those who were invited, Come; because they are now ready.
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.
And they all of one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a farm, and I have need having gone to see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19 Yon lòt di li: Mwen fèk achte senk pè bèf; mwen pral seye yo. Tanpri, eskize mwen.
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove the same: I intreat thee have me excused.
20 Yon lòt di: Mwen fèk sot marye, se poutèt sa mwen pa ka ale.
Another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I am not able to 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.
And the servant coming, announced these things to his lord. Then the land-lord being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and lead in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame.
22 Apre sa, domestik la di: Mèt, nou fè tou sa ou te mande nou fè, men gen plas toujou.
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou didst command, and yet there is room.
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.
And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the roads and hedges, and compel them to come in, in order that my house may be 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 unto you, that no one of these men who have been invited 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:
And many multitudes were journeying along with Him, and turning He said to 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 one comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and even yet his own soul, he is not able to be my disciple.
27 Moun ki pa pote kwa l' epi ki pa swiv mwen, li pa kapab disip mwen non plis.
Whosoever does not carry his cross, and come after me, is not able to be 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 one of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sitting down count the cost; if he has unto sufficiency?
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 he having laid the foundation, and being unable to complete it, all who see it may begin to mock him,
30 Y'a di: Nonm lan kòmanse bati, men li pa kapab fini.
saying, that this man began to build, and was not able to complete it.
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 forth to engage in war with another king, will not first sitting down counsel if he is able with ten thousand to meet him who is coming against him, with twenty 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.
But if not, while he is yet a great way off, sending an embassy, he asks for those things which appertain to 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.
Thus then every one of you who does not consecrate all his possessions, is not able to be my disciple.
34 Sèl, se yon bon bagay; men si sèl la pèdi gou l', ak kisa pou n' fè l' sale ankò?
Therefore salt is good: but if the salt may lose its savor, with what 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 good for the land nor for excrement: they cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
