Lik 16
1 Jezi di disip li yo: Vwala, se te yon nonm rich ki te gen yon jeran. Yo vin rapòte l' jan jeran an ap gaspiye tout byen l' yo.
And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods.
2 Li rele jeran an, li di li: Kisa m' tande y'ap di sou ou konsa? vin fè regleman travay ou avè m', paske mwen p'ap kite byen m' yo sou kont ou ankò.
And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.
3 Jeran an di nan kè l': Patwon an pral kase m' nan djòb sa a; kisa m' pral fè koulye a? Mwen pa gen fòs pou m' al travay latè. Epi se va yon wont pou m' al mande charite!
And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4 Bon, mwen konn sa m' pral fè pou lè m' pèdi djòb mwen m'a toujou gen moun ki pou resevwa m' lakay yo.
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 Jeran an fè rele tout moun ki te dwe mèt la, li fè yo vini yonn apre lòt. Li di premye a: Konbe ou dwe mèt la?
And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
6 Li reponn: Mwen dwe l' san (100) bidon lwil. Msye di l': Men papye ou la, chita, ekri senkant. Fè vit.
And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty.
7 Apre sa, li di yon lòt; Ou menm, konbe ou dwe? Li reponn: San sak (100) mayi. Msye di l': Men papye ou la, ekri katreven.
Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore.
8 Nonm rich la fè jeran visye a konpliman dapre li te aji ak ladrès sa a. Paske moun k'ap viv dapre prensip lemonn yo regle zafè yo pi byen pase moun ki gen limyè a. (aiōn g165)
And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 Jezi di yo ankò: Nou menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Bat pou nou fè zanmi ak richès ki sou latè. Konsa, lè richès nou va fini, y'a resevwa nou nan kay Bondye ki la pou tout tan an. (aiōnios g166)
And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
10 Moun ki kenbe pawòl li nan tout ti bagay, la kenbe l' nan gwo bagay tou. Men, moun ki pa serye nan ti bagay, li p'ap serye nan gwo bagay non plis.
He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much.
11 Si ou pa sèvi byen ak richès ou gen sou latè, kilès ki va fè ou konfyans pou richès tout bon yo?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
12 Si ou pa t' sèvi byen avèk sa ki te pou lòt moun, ki moun ki va ba ou sak pou ou a?
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
13 Pesonn pa ka sèvi de mèt byen anmenmtan. Li gen pou l' rayi yonn si l' renmen lòt la. L'ap sèvi yonn byen, men l'ap meprize lòt la. Nou pa ka sèvi Bondye ak lajan anmenmtan.
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Farizyen yo t'ap koute tout pawòl sa yo tou. Yo t'ap pase Jezi nan betiz paske yo te renmen lajan.
And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him.
15 Lè sa a Jezi di yo: Nou menm, n'ap chache parèt pou pi bon devan moun, men Bondye konnen sa ki nan kè nou. Bagay moun bay plis enpòtans, se yo Bondye pa vle wè.
And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Kòmandman Moyiz ak liv pwofèt yo te gen fòs lalwa jouk tan Jan Batis te rive. Men, depi lè sa a, se anonse y'ap anonse bon nouvèl peyi kote Bondye Wa a, se nan goumen pou moun antre ladan li.
The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.
17 Men, l'ap pi fasil pou syèl la ak tè a disparèt pase pou yon sèl ti detay nan lalwa a pèdi valè li.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
18 Si yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou l' marye ak yon lòt, nonm sa a fè adiltè. Lè yon mari kite madanm li, si yon lòt nonm marye ak madanm lan, nonm sa a fè adiltè tou.
Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.
19 Vwala, se te yon nonm rich ki te konn abiye ak bèl twal wouj e blan ki te koute chè. Chak jou, se te gwo fèt banbòch lakay li.
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:
20 Te gen yon pòv yo rele Laza ki te kouche nan papòt nonm rich la. Laza te kouvri ak malenng.
and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 Li te byen anvi plen vant li ak bagay ki t'ap soti tonbe anba tab nonm rich la. Sa ki pi rèd, chen t'ap vin niche malenng li yo tou.
and desiring to be fed with the [crumbs] that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Pòv la vin mouri, zanj Bondye yo pote l' mete bò kot Abraram nan syèl la. Nonm rich la mouri tou, yo antere li.
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Pandan l' te kote tout mò yo ye a nan mitan soufrans, li voye je l' byen lwen li wè Abraram ak Laza ansanm avèk li. (Hadēs g86)
And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Nonm rich la rele: Abraram papa, gen pitye pou mwen non! Voye Laza tranpe ti bout dwèt li nan yon ti tak dlò pou l' mete yon frechè sou lang mwen, paske se pa ti soufri m'ap soufri nan flanm sa a.
And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.
25 Abraram reponn li: Pitit mwen, chonje byen: ou te resevwa tout bon bagay pa ou yo pandan ou te sou latè. Lè sa a menm, Laza te nan tout mizè li. Koulye a, li jwenn konsolasyon bò isit la, ou menm w'ap soufri.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish.
26 Epitou, gen yon gwo twou ki separe nou avè ou, konsa pa gen mwayen pou moun sot isit la pou y' al jwenn ou, osinon pou moun ta soti kote ou ye a pou vin jwenn nou.
And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.
27 Nonm rich la di li: Tanpri, Abraram papa, voye Laza kay papa mwen.
And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house;
28 Mwen gen senk frè. Mwen ta vle li al di yo jan bagay la ye pou yo pa vin isit nan touman sa a.
for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraram reponn li: Yo gen Moyiz ak pwofèt yo pou avèti yo, se pou yo koute yo.
But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 Li di li: Non, papa Abraram, yo p'ap koute. Men, si yonn nan mò yo al jwenn yo, y'a chanje lavi yo.
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Lè sa a, Abraram di li: Si yo pa koute Moyiz ak pwofèt yo, yo p'ap kite pesonn lòt fè yo wè verite a. Li ta mèt yon mò ki ta leve vivan ankò, yo p'ap koute li.
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.
