Lik 18
1 Jezi rakonte yo parabòl sa a pou l' te moutre yo nesesite pou yo toujou lapriyè san yo pa janm dekouraje:
And he spake also a parable vnto them, to this ende, that they ought alwayes to pray, and not to waxe faint,
2 Vwala, se te yon jij ki te rete nan yon lavil; li pa t' pè Bondye ni li pa t' respekte pesonn.
Saying, There was a iudge in a certaine citie, which feared not God, neither reuereced man.
3 Nan menm lavil sa a, te gen yon vèv ki te konn vin bò kot jij la. Vèv la te toujou ap di li: Rann mwen jistis kont moun ki nan kont avè m' lan non.
And there was a widowe in that citie, which came vnto him, saying, Doe mee iustice against mine aduersarie.
4 Pandan lontan jij la te refize fè sa pou li. Men, yon lè li di nan kè l': Se vre, mwen pa pè Bondye, ni mwen pa rete ak moun.
And hee would not of a long time: but afterward he said with himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor reuerence man,
5 Men, fanm sa a ap plede nwi mwen. M'ap rann li jistis, konsa la sispann anbete mwen.
Yet because this widowe troubleth mee, I will doe her right, lest at the last shee come and make me wearie.
6 Jezi di: Nou tande sa move jij la di!
And the Lord said, Heare what the vnrighteous iudge saith.
7 Bon! Eske Bondye pa ta regle zafè pitit li yo, moun li menm li chwazi yo, lè y'ap rele nan pye l' lajounen kou lannwit? Eske l'ap pran anpil tan pou l' ede yo?
Now shall not God auenge his elect, which cry day and night vnto him, yea, though he suffer long for them?
8 M'ap di nou sa: L'ap regle zafè yo vit vit. Men, lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va vini, èske la jwenn moun ki gen konfyans nan Bondye ankò sou latè?
I tell you he will auenge them quickly: but when the Sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth?
9 Jezi di parabòl sa a pou moun ki te kwè yo bon devan Bondye epi ki t'ap meprize lòt moun:
He spake also this parable vnto certaine which trusted in themselues that they were iust, and despised other.
10 Dezòm moute nan tanp lan al lapriyè. Yonn te yon farizyen, lòt la yon pèseptè kontribisyon.
Two men went vp into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharise, and the other a Publican.
11 Farizyen an te kanpe apa, li t'ap lapriyè konsa: Bondye, m'ap di ou mèsi dapre mwen pa vòlò, ni visye, ni adiltè tankou lòt yo; mèsi dapre mwen pa tankou pèseptè kontribisyon sa a.
The Pharise stoode and prayed thus with himselfe, O God, I thanke thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publican.
12 Chak senmenn mwen pase de jou ap fè jèn, mwen bay ladim nan tou sa mwen genyen.
I fast twise in the weeke: I giue tithe of all that euer I possesse.
13 Pèseptè kontribisyon an menm te rete dèyè, li pa t' menm gen kouraj leve je l' nan syèl; li t'ap bat lestonmak li, li t'ap di: Bondye, gen pitye pou mwen ki fè anpil peche.
But the Publican standing a farre off, woulde not lift vp so much as his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saying, O God, be mercifull to me a sinner.
14 Lè sa a, Jezi di yo: M'ap di nou sa, se pa farizyen an non, men se pèseptè kontribisyon an ki tounen lakay li ak padon Bondye. Paske, yon moun ki vle leve tèt li, y'a desann li, yon moun ki desann tèt li, y'a leve li.
I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.
15 Yo te mennen ata tibebe bay Jezi pou l' te mete men sou tèt yo. Lè disip yo wè sa, yo t'ap di moun yo pa fè sa.
They brought vnto him also babes that he should touche them. And when his disciples sawe it, they rebuked them.
16 Men, Jezi rele timoun yo vin jwenn li, li di: Kite timoun yo vin jwenn mwen. Pa anpeche yo vini, paske peyi kote Bondye Wa a, se pou tout moun ki tankou timoun sa yo li ye.
But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Suffer the babes to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.
17 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: si yon moun pa asepte otorite Bondye a tankou yon timoun, li p'ap janm mete pye l' nan peyi kote Bondye Wa a.
Verely I say vnto you, whosoeuer receiueth not the kingdome of God as a babe, he shall not enter therein.
18 Yonn nan chèf jwif yo mande Jezi: Bon Mèt, kisa pou m' fè pou m' resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an? (aiōnios g166)
Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jezi di li: Poukisa ou rele m' bon? Se yon sèl bon ki genyen, se Bondye.
And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue one, euen God.
20 Ou konn kòmandman yo: Piga ou fè adiltè, piga ou touye moun, piga ou vòlò, piga ou fè manti sou moun, respekte papa ou ak manman ou.
Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 Nonm lan reponn: Mwen swiv tout bagay sa yo depi m' te tikatkat.
And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth.
22 Lè Jezi tande sa, li di l': Ou manke yon bagay toujou: vann tou sa ou genyen, separe lajan an bay pòv. Apre sa, wa gen yon richès nan syèl la. Epi vin swiv mwen.
Nowe when Iesus heard that, he saide vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that euer thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come follow mee.
23 Men, pawòl sa a te fè nonm lan lapenn anpil paske li te gen anpil byen.
But when he heard those things, he was very heauie: for he was marueilous riche.
24 Jezi wè jan sa te fè nonm lan lapenn, li di konsa: Sa ap difisil nèt pou moun rich antre nan peyi kote Bondye Wa a.
And when Iesus sawe him very sorowfull, he said, With what difficultie shall they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God!
25 L'ap pi fasil pou gwo bèt yo rele chamo a pase nan je yon zegwi pase pou yon rich antre nan peyi kote Bondye Wa a.
Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.
26 Moun ki t'ap koute l' yo di l': Nan kondisyon sa a, ki moun ki ka sove?
Then said they that heard it, And who then can be saued?
27 Jezi reponn yo: Sa lèzòm pa ka fè, Bondye ka fè li.
And he said, The things which are vnpossible with men, are possible with God.
28 Lè sa a, Pyè di l': Tande, men nou kite tou sa nou te genyen pou nou swiv ou.
Then Peter said, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee.
29 Jezi di yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Nenpòt moun ki kite kay li, osinon madanm li, osinon frè l', osinon papa l' ak manman l', osinon pitit li poutèt peyi kote Bondye Wa a,
And he said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdome of Gods sake,
31 Jezi pran douz disip yo apa, li di yo: Tande, men n'ap moute Jerizalèm kote tou sa pwofèt yo te ekri sou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a pral rive.
Then Iesus tooke vnto him ye twelue, and said vnto them, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and all things shalbe fulfilled to the Sonne of man, that are writttn by the Prophets.
32 Yo pral lage l' nan men moun lòt nasyon yo, y'a pase l' nan rizib, y'a joure l', y'a krache sou li.
For he shall be deliuered vnto the Gentiles, and shalbe mocked, and shalbe spitefully entreated, and shalbe spitted on.
33 Apre sa, y'a bat li byen bat, y'a touye l'; men sou twa jou la leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
And when they haue scourged him, they will put him to death: but the thirde day hee shall rise againe.
34 Men, disip yo pa t' konprann anyen nan sa; sans pawòl la te kache pou yo, yo pa t' kapab konnen sa Jezi t'ap di yo konsa.
But they vnderstood none of these things, and this saying was hidde from them, neither perceiued they the things, which were spoken.
35 Lè sa a, Jezi te prèt pou antre Jeriko; te gen yon nonm avèg chita bò chemen an ki t'ap mande charite.
And it came to passe, that as he was come neere vnto Iericho, a certaine blinde man sate by the way side, begging.
36 Lè l' tande foul moun yo ap pase, li mande sak genyen.
And when he heard the people passe by, he asked what it meant.
37 Yo di li: Se Jezi, moun Nazarèt la, k'ap pase.
And they saide vnto him, that Iesus of Nazareth passed by.
38 Li pran rele: Jezi, pitit David la, pitye pou mwen.
Then hee cried, saying, Iesus the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
39 Moun ki t'ap mache devan yo t'ap kouri dèyè l' pou te fè l' pe bouch li. Men, li t'ap rele pi rèd: Pitit David la, pitye pou mwen.
And they which went before, rebuked him that he shoulde holde his peace, but he cried much more, O Sone of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
40 Jezi rete, li bay lòd pou yo mennen l' ba li. Lè avèg la pwoche, Jezi mande li:
And Iesus stoode stil, and commanded him to be brought vnto him. And when he was come neere, he asked him,
41 Kisa ou vle m' fè pou ou? Li reponn: Mèt, fè m' wè ankò.
Saying, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receiue my sight.
42 Epi Jezi di li: Wè non. Se konfyans ou nan Bondye ki geri ou.
And Iesus said vnto him, Receiue thy sight: thy faith hath saued thee.
43 Menm lè a, avèg la wè. Apre sa, li t'ap swiv Jezi. Li t'ap fè lwanj Bondye. Lè pèp la wè sa, yo tout pran fè lwanj Bondye tou.
Then immediatly he receiued his sight, and followed him, praysing God: and all the people, when they sawe this, gaue praise to God.
