Lik 20
1 Yon jou konsa, Jezi te nan tanp lan; li t'ap moutre pèp la anpil bagay; li t'ap anonse yo bon nouvèl la. Chèf prèt yo, dirèktè lalwa yo ak chèf fanmi yo vin rive.
And it happened that, on one of the days when he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Gospel, the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, gathered together with the elders,
2 Yo di li: Manyè di nou ki dwa ou genyen pou w'ap fè tout bagay sa yo? Wi, kilès ki ba ou otorite pou fè yo?
and they spoke to him, saying: “Tell us, by what authority do you do these things? Or, who is it that has given you this authority?”
3 Jezi reponn yo: Mwen pral poze nou yon keksyon, mwen menm tou.
And in response, Jesus said to them: “I will also question you about one word. Respond to me:
4 Di mwen kilès ki te voye Jan Batis batize moun: Bondye osinon lèzòm?
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?”
5 Men, yonn t'ap di lòt: Si nou reponn se Bondye ki voye l', la mande nou poukisa nou pa t' kwè li.
So they discussed it among themselves, saying: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’
6 Si nou reponn se lèzòm ki voye l', tout pèp la va touye nou ak kout wòch, paske yo tout te gen konviksyon Jan Batis te yon pwofèt.
But if we say, ‘Of men,’ the whole people will stone us. For they are certain that John was a prophet.”
7 Lè sa a yo reponn li: Nou pa konn ki moun ki te voye l' batize.
And so they responded that they did not know where it was from.
8 Jezi di yo: Enben, mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap di nou avèk ki otorite m'ap fè bagay sa yo.
And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9 Apre sa, Jezi pran rakonte pèp la parabòl sa a: Vwala, se te yon nonm ki te plante yon jaden rezen. Li antann li avèk kèk moun pou okipe jaden an pou li. Apre sa, li kite peyi a, li al fè lontan deyò.
Then he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, and he loaned it to settlers, and he was on a sojourn for a long time.
10 Lè sezon rekòt la rive, li voye yon domestik kote moun ki t'ap pran swen jaden an pou li. Li te voye chache pòsyon pa l' nan rekòt rezen an nan men yo. Men, kiltivatè yo bat domestik la byen bat, epi yo voye l' tounen bay mèt jaden an san yo pa ba l' anyen.
And in due time, he sent a servant to the farmers, so that they would give to him from the fruit of the vineyard. And they beat him and drove him away, empty-handed.
11 Mèt jaden an voye yon lòt domestik kote yo ankò. Men, yo bat li byen bat, yo joure l' byen joure, epi yo voye l' tounen san yo pa ba l' anyen.
And he continued to send another servant. But beating him and treating him with contempt, they likewise sent him away, empty-handed.
12 Mèt jaden an voye yon twazyèm domestik. Fwa sa a, yo blese l', yo mete l' deyò.
And he continued to send a third. And wounding him also, they drove him away.
13 Lè sa a, mèt jaden an di: Kisa pou m' fè? Bon, mwen pral voye pitit gason mwen renmen anpil la. Omwens y'a gen respè pou li.
Then the lord of the vineyard said: ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps when they have seen him, they will respect him.’
14 Men, lè kiltivatè yo wè pitit mèt jaden an, yonn di lòt: Men eritye a! Ann touye l', konsa jaden an va rete pou nou.
And when the settlers had seen him, they discussed it among themselves, saying: ‘This one is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance will be ours.’
15 Yo jete l' deyò jaden an, yo touye li. Atò, kisa mèt jaden an pral fè yo?
And forcing him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do to them?”
16 L'ap vini, l'ap fè touye tout kiltivatè yo, epi l'ap bay lòt moun jaden rezen an. Lè pèp la tande sa, yo di: Mande Bondye padon!
“He will come and destroy those settlers, and he will give the vineyard to others.” And upon hearing this, they said to him, “Let it not be.”
17 Men, Jezi gade yo, li mande yo: Ki sans nou bay pawòl sa ki ekri a: Wòch moun ki t'ap bati yo te voye jete a, se li menm ki tounen wòch ki kenbe kay la.
Then, gazing at them, he said: “Then what does this mean, which is written: ‘The stone which the builders have rejected, the same has become the head of the corner?’
18 Tout moun ki bite sou wòch sa a gen pou kase ren yo. Men, si se wòch la menm ki tonbe sou yon moun, li gen pou l' kraze moun lan an miyèt moso.
Everyone who falls on that stone will be shattered. And anyone upon whom it falls will be crushed.”
19 Menm lè a, chèf prèt yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo t'ap chache mete men sou li, paske yo te byen konnen se pou yo Jezi te bay parabòl sa a. Men, yo te pè pèp la.
And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking to lay hands on him in that same hour, but they feared the people. For they realized that he had spoken this parable about them.
20 Yo pran veye Jezi. Yo voye espyon dèyè li. Espyon yo pran pòz moun debyen yo, pou wè si yo te ka pran yon pawòl nan bouch li pou akize li. Konsa, yo ta kapab lage l' nan men gouvènè a ki te gen pouvwa ak tout otorite.
And being attentive, they sent traitors, who would pretend that they were just, so that they might catch him in his words and then hand him over to the power and authority of the procurator.
21 Espyon yo poze l' keksyon sa a: Mèt, nou konnen ou se moun serye. Tou sa ou di ak tou sa ou moutre nou se verite. Ou pa gade sou figi moun, men ou moutre chemen Bondye a jan li ye a.
And they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and that you do not consider anyone’s status, but you teach the way of God in truth.
22 Manyè di nou: Eske lalwa nou an pèmèt nou peye Seza lajan kontribisyon an, wi ou non?
Is it lawful for us to pay the tribute to Caesar, or not?”
23 Men, Jezi wè se nan pèlen yo te vle pran li. Li di yo:
But realizing their deceitfulness, he said to them: “Why do you test me?
24 Moutre m' yon pyès lajan. Pòtre ki moun ak non ki moun ki sou pyès lajan an? Yo reponn li: Se pòtre Seza ak non Seza.
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” In response, they said to him, “Caesar’s.”
25 Lè sa a li di yo: Enben, bay Seza sak pou Seza, bay Bondye sak pou Bondye.
And so, he said to them: “Then repay the things that are Caesar’s, to Caesar, and the things that are God’s, to God.”
26 Yo pa t' kapab jwenn anyen ki mal nan sa l' t'ap di devan pèp la. Okontrè, pawòl sa a te fè yo pi sezi ankò. Yo fèmen bouch yo san di yon mo.
And they were not able to contradict his word before the people. And being amazed at his answer, they were silent.
27 Sadiseyen yo se yon gwoup jwif ki di moun mouri pa leve ankò. Gen kèk ladan yo ki vin bò kot Jezi ak yon keksyon. Yo di l' konsa:
Now some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached him. And they questioned him,
28 Mèt, Moyiz te ekri lòd sa a ban nou: Lè yon nonm marye mouri san kite pitit, si l' gen yon frè, frè a gen pou l' marye avèk madanm defen an pou l' sa fè pitit pou frè l' ki mouri a.
saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote for us: If any man’s brother will have died, having a wife, and if he does not have any children, then his brother should take her as his wife, and he should raise up offspring for his brother.
29 Se konsa, te gen sèt frè. Premye a marye, li mouri san l' pa kite pitit.
And so there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and he died without sons.
30 Dezyèm lan marye ak vèv la. Apre sa, twazyèm lan marye avè l' tou.
And the next one married her, and he also died without a son.
31 Konsa konsa, sèt frè yo marye ak fanm lan yonn apre lòt, epi yo tout yo mouri san kite pitit.
And the third married her, and similarly all seven, and none of them left behind any offspring, and they each died.
32 Apre yo tout fin mouri, fanm lan mouri poutèt pa l' tou.
Last of all, the woman also died.
33 Lè mò yo va gen pou yo leve, fanm sa a ki te madanm tout sèt frè yo, madanm kilès nan yo li pral ye la a menm?
In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For certainly all seven had her as a wife.”
And so, Jesus said to them: “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 Men, fanm ak gason ki merite pou yo leve soti vivan nan lanmò pou yo ka patisipe nan lavi k'ap vini an, moun sa yo pa nan marye ankò. (aiōn g165)
Yet truly, those who shall be held worthy of that age, and of the resurrection from the dead, will neither be married, nor take wives. (aiōn g165)
36 Yo pa ka mouri ankò, se tankou zanj Bondye yo ye, yo se pitit Bondye, paske yo leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
For they can no longer die. For they are equal to the Angels, and they are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.
37 Wi, moun mouri gen pou yo leve. Se Moyiz menm ki moutre nou sa, lè bò ti touf bwa a, li te rele Bondye: Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak, Bondye Jakòb.
For in truth, the dead do rise again, as Moses also showed beside the bush, when he called the Lord: ‘The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 Bondye se Bondye moun vivan li ye, li pa Bondye moun mouri, paske pou li tout moun vivan.
And so he is not the God of the dead, but of the living. For all are alive to him.”
39 Lè sa a, kèk dirèktè lalwa pran lapawòl, yo di: Mèt, ou byen pale.
Then some of the scribes, in response, said to him, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”
40 Apre sa, yo pa t' gen odas poze l' ankenn lòt keksyon.
And they no longer dared to question him about anything.
41 Jezi di yo: Ki jan yo fè di Kris la se pitit pitit David li ye?
But he said to them: “How can they say that the Christ is the son of David?
42 Men, sa David menm te di nan liv Sòm yo: Bondye Mèt la te di Seyè mwen an: Chita la sou bò dwat mwen,
Even David himself says, in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand,
43 jouk tan mwen fè lènmi yo tounen yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.
until I set your enemies as your footstool.’
44 Si David rele Kris la Seyè, ki jan pou Kris la ta ka pitit pitit li?
Therefore, David calls him Lord. So how can he be his son?”
45 Lè sa a, tout pèp la t'ap koute Jezi. Li di disip li yo:
Now in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
46 Pran prekosyon nou avèk dirèktè lalwa yo. Yo renmen pwonmennen avèk rad long yo; yo renmen moun bese tèt yo jouk atè pou di yo bonjou sou plas piblik; lè y' al nan sinagòg, yo toujou ap chache pou yo chita kote pou tout moun ka wè yo; nan resepsyon yo chache pi bon plas la.
“Be cautious of the scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and who love greetings in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the first places at table during feasts,
47 Se piye y'ap piye pòv vèv yo, anmenmtan y'ap plede fè lapriyè byen long pou parèt pi bon. Chatiman moun sa yo pral pi rèd.
who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayers. These will receive the greater damnation.”
