Lik 19
1 Jezi antre Jeriko, li t'ap travèse lavil la.
And entering in, he walked through Jericho.
2 Te gen yon nonm nan lavil la yo rele Zache. Li te chèf pèseptè kontribisyon yo, se te yon nonm rich.
And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the publicans, and he was rich.
3 Li t'ap chache wè ki moun Jezi ye. Men, li te yon nonm ti tay. Akòz foul moun yo, li pa t' kapab rive wè li.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was, and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.
4 Li pran kouri devan; li moute sou yon pye sikomò pou l' wè Jezi ki te gen pou l' te pase bò la.
And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him; for he was to pass that way.
5 Lè Jezi rive la, li leve je l' anlè, li di l': Zache, fè vit desann. Fòk mwen fè ladesant lakay ou jòdi a.
And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him, and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down; for this day I must abide in thy house.
6 Zache prese desann, li resevwa Jezi ak kè kontan.
And he made haste and came down; and received him with joy.
7 Lè yo wè sa, tout moun pran babye, yo t'ap di: Men nonm lan fè ladesant kay yon nonm ki plen peche.
And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner.
8 Zache leve kanpe, li di Jezi konsa: Koute, Mèt. Mwen pral bay pòv mwatye tout byen mwen genyen. Si mwen te twonpe yon moun pou m' pran lajan l', mwen pral rann li kat fwa lavalè.
But Zacheus standing, said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold.
9 Jezi di li: Jòdi a, kay sa a delivre paske nonm sa a se yon pitit Abraram li ye tou.
Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a vin chache sa ki te pèdi pou l' delivre yo.
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 Apre sa, Jezi rakonte yon parabòl pou moun ki te fèk tande pawòl sa yo. Paske li te toupre lavil Jerizalèm lan, yo te kwè gouvènman Bondye ki Wa a tapral parèt touswit.
As they were hearing these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested.
12 Men sa l' di yo: Vwala, se te yon nonm gran fanmi ki te al nan yon peyi byen lwen. Li te al fè yo ba l' otorite pou l' wa, apre sa pou l' te tounen lakay li ankò.
He said therefore: A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Anvan li ale, li rele dis nan domestik li yo, li ba yo chak yon pyès lò, li di yo: Fè lajan an travay jouk mwen tounen.
And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them: Trade till I come.
14 Men, pwòp moun peyi l' yo te rayi li. Yo voye kèk mesaje dèyè l' pou di: Nou pa vle nonm sa a pou wa nou.
But his citizens hated him: and they sent an embassage after him, saying: We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 Malgre sa, yo bay nonm lan otorite pou l' wa, epi l' tounen nan peyi li. Lè sa a, li fè rele domestik li te bay lajan yo pou yo vin kote l': li te bezwen konnen ki benefis yo chak te fè.
And it came to pass, that he returned, having received the kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 Premye a vini, li di: Monwa, pyès lò ou te ban mwen an rapòte dis pyès ankò.
And the first came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 Wa a di l': Sa se bèl bagay. Ou se yon bon domestik. M'ap mete ou gouvènen dis vil, paske ou te fè ti travay sa a byen.
And he said to him: Well done, thou good servant, because thou hast been faithful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities.
18 Dezyèm lan vini, li di: Monwa, pyès lò ou te ban mwen an rapòte senk lòt pyès.
And the second came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 Wa a di l': Ou menm, m'ap mete ou gouvènen senk vil.
And he said to him: Be thou also over five cities.
20 Yon lòt vini, li di: Monwa, men pyès lò ou la. Mwen te sere l' nan yon mouchwa.
And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;
21 Mwen te pè ou, paske ou se yon nonm ki di: ou pran sa ki pa pou ou, ou rekòlte sa ou pa simen.
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow.
22 Wa a reponn: Gade jan ou se yon move domestik! M'ap jije ou ak pawòl ki sot nan bouch ou. Ou te konnen m' se yon nonm ki di, mwen pran sa ki pa pou mwen, mwen rekòlte sa m' pa simen,
He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow:
23 poukisa ou pa t' mete lajan m' labank; lè m' ta tounen, mwen ta wete l' ak yon enterè.
And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming, I might have exacted it with usury?
24 Li di moun ki te la yo: Wete lajan an nan men li. Bay nonm ki gen dis pyès yo li.
And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25 Yo di l': Men, monwa, li gen dis pyès deja.
And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds.
26 Mwen di nou: Moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò; men moun ki pa gen anyen menm lan, y'a wete nan men l' menm ti sa l' te genyen an.
But I say to you, that to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: and from him that hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken from him.
27 Kanta lènmi m' yo ki pa t' vle mwen pou wa yo, mennen yo isit, touye yo la devan je mwen.
But as for those my enemies, who would not have me reign over them, bring them hither, and kill them before me.
28 Apre Jezi fin pale konsa, li pran mache devan yo pou li al Jerizalèm.
And having said these things, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Lè Jezi rive toupre Betfaje ak Betani, bò ti mòn Oliv la, li pran de nan disip li yo, li voye yo devan,
And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethania, unto the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
30 li di yo konsa: Ale nan bouk ki devan nou an. Lè n'a rive, n'a jwenn yon jenn ti bourik mare; pesonn pa kò janm moute sou li. Lage l', mennen l' ban mwen.
Saying: Go into the town which is over against you, at your entering into which you shall find the colt of an ass tied, on which no man ever hath sitten: loose him, and bring him hither.
31 Nenpòt moun ki mande nou: Poukisa n'ap lage l'? N'a reponn: Se Mèt la ki bezwen li.
And if any man shall ask you: Why do you loose him? you shall say thus unto him: Because the Lord hath need of his service.
32 De disip yo ale; yo jwenn tout bagay jan Jezi te di yo a.
And they that were sent, went their way, and found the colt standing, as he had said unto them.
33 Pandan y'ap lage ti bourik la, mèt li di yo: Poukisa n'ap lage ti bourik la?
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them: Why loose you the colt?
34 Yo reponn: Se Mèt la ki bezwen li.
But they said: Because the Lord hath need of him.
35 Apre sa, yo mennen ti bourik la bay Jezi. Yo mete rad yo sou do ti bourik la, yo fè Jezi moute sou li.
And they brought him to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon.
36 Pandan Jezi t'ap vanse sou bourik la, moun yo tann rad yo atè sou tout chemen an.
And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way.
37 Lè l' rive toupre Jerizalèm, nan ladesant mòn Oliv la, yon sèl kontantman pran tout foul moun ki t'ap swiv li yo; yo pran fè lwanj Bondye byen fò pou tout mirak yo te wè.
And when he was now coming near the descent of mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen,
38 Yo t'ap di: benediksyon pou Wa ki vini nan non Mèt la! Kè poze pou tout moun nan syèl la! Lwanj pou Bondye!
Saying: Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven, and glory on high!
39 Te gen kèk farizyen nan mitan foul la. Yo di Jezi konsa: Mèt, manyè fè disip ou yo pe bouch yo non.
And some of the Pharisees, from amongst the multitude, said to him: Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Jezi reponn: M'ap di nou sa: si yo pe bouch yo, wòch yo va pran rele.
To whom he said: I say to you, that if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
41 Lè Jezi rive toupre lavil la, li wè l', li pran kriye sou li,
And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:
42 li di: Si sèlman, jòdi a ou te kapab konprann, ou menm tou, bagay ki pou fè kè ou poze? Men, koulye a, yo kache; ou pa kapab wè yo!
If thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace; but now they are hidden from thy eyes.
43 Gen yon tan k'ap vin sou ou: lè sa a, lènmi ou yo va sènen ou toupatou, y'a fèmen ou nèt, y'a kwense ou sou tout bò.
For the days shall come upon thee, and thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and straiten thee on every side,
44 Y'a detwi ou nèt ansanm ak tout moun ki nan mitan ou yo. Yo p'ap kite yon wòch kanpe sou yon lòt, paske ou pa t' rekonèt jou Bondye te vin pote ou sekou a.
And beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children who are in thee: and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.
45 Jezi antre nan tanp lan, li pran chase tout moun ki t'ap vann yo.
And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought.
46 Li di yo: Men sa ki ekri: Se pou kay mwen an yon kay kote moun vin lapriyè nan pye m'; men, nou menm, nou fè l' tounen kachèt vòlè.
Saying to them: It is written: My house is the house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves.
47 Chak jou, Jezi te nan tanp lan, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Chèf prèt yo, dirèktè lalwa yo ak chèf pèp la t'ap chache ki jan pou yo touye li.
And he was teaching daily in the temple. And the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people sought to destroy him:
48 Men, yo pa t' kapab jwenn yon jan pou yo te fè sa, paske tout pèp la t'ap koute sa l' t'ap di san yo pa pèdi yon mo.
And they found not what to do to him: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
