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.
On one of the days while he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the gospel, there came up the priest and the Scribes 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?
They spoke to him saying. "Tell us by what authority you are doing these things? Who is it that gave you this authority?"
3 Jezi reponn yo: Mwen pral poze nou yon keksyon, mwen menm tou.
"I will also ask you a question," he replied.
4 Di mwen kilès ki te voye Jan Batis batize moun: Bondye osinon lèzòm?
"Was John’s baptism from heaven or from man?"
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 reasoned among themselves. "If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why did you not believe in 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.
"And if we say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us, for they were persuaded that Johnwas a prophet."
7 Lè sa a yo reponn li: Nou pa konn ki moun ki te voye l' batize.
So they answered that they did not know whence it was.
8 Jezi di yo: Enben, mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap di nou avèk ki otorite m'ap fè bagay sa yo.
"Nor will I tell you," Jesus answered, "by whose 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. "There was a man who planted a vineyard, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went to another country 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.
"At harvest-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers, to ask them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dresser beat him and sent 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.
"Then he sent another slave; and him also they flogged and handled shamefully and sent him away empty-handed.
12 Mèt jaden an voye yon twazyèm domestik. Fwa sa a, yo blese l', yo mete l' deyò.
"Then he sent yet a third, and him to they wounded and threw him out.
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 master of the vineyard said. "‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved Son; it may be that they will reverence 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.
"But when the vine-dressers saw him, they reasoned together, saying. ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours.’
15 Yo jete l' deyò jaden an, yo touye li. Atò, kisa mèt jaden an pral fè yo?
"So they turned him out of the vineyard and killed him. "What will the master 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 vine-dressers, and will give the vineyard to others."
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.
He looked at them and said. "Then what does this scripture mean. "The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made 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.
"Every one who falls on that stone will be broken in pieces; but whoever it falls upon will be scattered as dust."
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.
At this the Scribes and the high priests were seeking to arrest him; only they were afraid of the people. For they perceived that he had referred to them in this parable.
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.
So they watched him, and sent spies who pretended to be honest men, in order to seize on his speech, and to deliver him up to authority and jurisdiction of the governor.
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.
So they put a question to him saying. "Rabbi, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not regard any man’s person, but teach the way of God honestly.
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 tribute to Caesar or not?"
23 Men, Jezi wè se nan pèlen yo te vle pran li. Li di yo:
But he perceived their knavery and answered.
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 shilling. Whose image and superscription does it bear?" "Caesar’s," they replied.
25 Lè sa a li di yo: Enben, bay Seza sak pou Seza, bay Bondye sak pou Bondye.
"Then give to Caesar what belongs to him," he said, "to God give what is God’s."
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.
So they could not lay hold of his sayings before the people; and marveling at his answer, they held their peace.
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:
Next came some of the Sadducees who deny that there is resurrection, and they asked 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.
"Teacher, Moses wrote a law for us that if a man’s brother should die, but leave no children, his brother should take up his wife and raise up his children for his brother.
29 Se konsa, te gen sèt frè. Premye a marye, li mouri san l' pa kite pitit.
"Now there were seven brothers. the first took a wife and died childless,
30 Dezyèm lan marye ak vèv la. Apre sa, twazyèm lan marye avè l' tou.
"and the second and third took her,
31 Konsa konsa, sèt frè yo marye ak fanm lan yonn apre lòt, epi yo tout yo mouri san kite pitit.
"and likewise all the seven, but left no children when they died.
32 Apre yo tout fin mouri, fanm lan mouri poutèt pa l' tou.
"Last of all the woman died too.
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 whose wife shall she be? For they all seven had her as wife."
"People in this world marry and are given in marriage," said Jesus, (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)
"but those who are counted worthy to reach that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (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 indeed they cannot die any more; they are equal to the angels, and through being sons of the resurrection are sons of God.
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.
"But that the dead are raised, even Moses clearly implied in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord. "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.
38 Bondye se Bondye moun vivan li ye, li pa Bondye moun mouri, paske pou li tout moun vivan.
"Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to him all are alive.’
39 Lè sa a, kèk dirèktè lalwa pran lapawòl, yo di: Mèt, ou byen pale.
Then some of the Scribes said, "Teacher, that was nobly said,"
40 Apre sa, yo pa t' gen odas poze l' ankenn lòt keksyon.
for they no longer dared to ask him any questions.
41 Jezi di yo: Ki jan yo fè di Kris la se pitit pitit David li ye?
"How is it," he asked them, "that they say that Christ is David’s son?
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,
"for David himself say’s in the book of the 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 make thy enemies the footstool at thy feet.
44 Si David rele Kris la Seyè, ki jan pou Kris la ta ka pitit pitit li?
"David therefore himself calls him ‘Lord,’ and how can he be his son?"
45 Lè sa a, tout pèp la t'ap koute Jezi. Li di disip li yo:
Then, 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.
"Beware of the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes, and dote on salutations in the marketplaces, and on securing the front seats in the synagogues and the best places at banquets;
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.
"but they devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. These shall receive severer condemnation."
