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, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him.
2 Yon nonm ki te gen maladi anfle te la devan Jezi.
And, behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.
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 answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
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. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
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 have a donkey or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?
6 Yo pa t' kapab reponn li anyen sou sa.
And they could not answer him again 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 put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the best places; 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 thou art invited by any man to a wedding, sit not down in the best place; lest a more honourable man than thou be invited 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 he that invited thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest 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 thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour in the presence of them that sit eating 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 whoever exalteth 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.
Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou givest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, 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 givest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, 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; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at 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 when one of them that sat eating with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat 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.
Then said he to him, A certain man gave 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 sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were invited, Come; for all things 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 with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and 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 try them out: I pray thee have me excused.
20 Yon lòt di: Mwen fèk sot marye, se poutèt sa mwen pa ka ale.
And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot 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 servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the maimed, and the lame, and the blind.
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 hast commanded, 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 highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, 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 to you, That none of those men who were invited shall taste 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 there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and 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 man cometh to me, and hateth not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 Moun ki pa pote kwa l' epi ki pa swiv mwen, li pa kapab disip mwen non plis.
And whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot 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 of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he hath sufficient to finish 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 perhaps, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
30 Y'a di: Nonm lan kòmanse bati, men li pa kapab fini.
Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
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 war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh 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.
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth a delegation, and desireth conditions of 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, whoever he is 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 the salt hath lost its savour, how shall it be seasoned?
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 fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
