Lik 3
1 Nan tan sa a, Seza Tibè te gen kenzan depi li te wa; Pons Pilat t'ap kòmande nan peyi Jide; Ewòd menm te chèf nan peyi Galile; Filip, frè Ewòd la, te chèf nan peyi Litoure ak nan rejyon Trakonit; Lizanyas te chèf nan Labilèn.
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Yehuda, and Herod being tetrarch of Galila, and his brother Philipus tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachona, and Lusania tetrarch of Avilina,
2 Lè sa a, se An ak Kayif ki t'ap sèvi tankou granprèt. Nan menm epòk sa a, Bondye pale ak Jan, pitit Zakari a, ki te nan dezè a.
in the high priesthood of Khanan and Qayapha, the word of God came to Yukhanan, the son of Zekharya, in the wilderness.
3 Jan mache nan tout peyi bò larivyè Jouden an; li t'ap bay mesaj sa a: Tounen vin jwenn Bondye. vin resevwa batèm: Bondye va padonnen peche nou yo.
He came into all the region around the Yurdinan, preaching a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
4 Se konsa, sa ki te ekri nan Liv ki gen pawòl pwofèt Ezayi a vin rive vre: Se vwa yon nonm k'ap rele nan dezè a: Pare gran wout Seyè nou an. Plani chemen an byen plani pou li.
As it is written in the scroll of the words of Eshaya the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.
5 Tout fon gen pou konble. Tout gwo mòn, tout ti mòn gen pou vin plat. Kote ki gen detou gen pou vin dwat. Chemen ki an movèz eta gen pou vin bèl.
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 Tout moun va wè jan Bondye ap delivre nou an.
And all humanity will see the salvation of God.'"
7 Moun t'ap vin an foul bò kote Jan pou l' te batize yo. Lè konsa li di yo: Bann vèmen! Ki moun ki fè nou konnen nou kapab chape anba kòlè Bondye k'ap vini an?
He said therefore to the crowds who went out to be baptized by him, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Fè bagay ki pou fè wè nou chanje lavi nou tout bon. Sispann di nan kè nou: Se pitit pitit Abraram nou ye! Paske, mwen pa kache di nou sa: Bondye kapab pran wòch sa yo, li fè yo tounen pitit pou Abraram.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves, 'We have Avraham for our father;' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Avraham from these stones.
9 Epitou, rach la tou pare pou koupe rasin pyebwa yo. Nenpòt pyebwa ki pa bay bon donn, yo pral koupe sa, jete nan dife.
Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire."
10 Foul moun yo mande l' konsa: Kisa pou nou fè menm?
The crowds asked him, "What then must we do?"
11 Li reponn yo: Sa ki gen de rad, se pou yo bay sak pa genyen an yonn. Sa ki gen manje pou manje, se pou l' separe l' bay yon lòt.
He answered them, "He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise."
12 Kèk pèseptè kontribisyon te vini tou pou l' te batize yo. Yo mande Jan: Mèt, kisa pou nou fè?
Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"
13 Li reponn yo: Pa fè moun peye plis pase sa lalwa mande a.
He said to them, "Collect no more than that which is appointed to you."
14 Kèk sòlda tou mande li: E nou menm, kisa pou nou fè? Li reponn yo: Pa fè brital ak pesonn. Pa fè manti sou pesonn pou pran lajan nan men yo. Fè kè nou kontan ak sa yo peye nou an.
Soldiers also asked him, saying, "What about us? What must we do?" He said to them, "Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages."
15 Pèp la t'ap tann konsa: yo t'ap mande nan kè yo si se pa Jan ki Kris la.
As the people were in expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts concerning Yukhanan, whether perhaps he was the Meshikha,
16 Lè sa a, Jan di yo tout: Mwen batize nou nan dlo. Men, gen yon moun ki gen pou vini ki gen plis pouvwa anpil pase mwen. Mwen menm, mwen pa bon ase pou m' ta demare kòd sapat ki nan pye li. Se li menm ki va batize nou nan Sentespri ak nan dife.
Yukhanan answered them all, "I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you with the Rukha d'Qudsha and with fire,
17 Laye l' nan men li, l'ap vannen tout grenn ki sou glasi a. La ranmase grenn ki bon yo, la mete yo nan galata li. Men, l'ap boule pay la nan yon dife ki p'ap janm mouri.
whose winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
18 Se avèk anpil lòt pawòl konsa Jan t'ap ba yo konsèy, li t'ap anonse bon nouvèl la bay pèp la.
Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
19 Men, Jan te fè chèf Ewòd repwòch poutèt Ewodyad, madanm frè li a, li te pran pou madanm li, ak pou anpil lòt move zak li te fè.
but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodia, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 Le sa a, Ewòd mete ankò sou sa l' te fè deja: li fè fèmen Jan nan prizon.
added this also to them all, that he shut up Yukhanan in prison.
21 Lè Jan te fin batize tout moun, li batize Jezi tou. Antan Jezi t'ap lapriyè, syèl la louvri.
Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Yeshua also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,
22 Sentespri a desann sou li an fòm yon ti pijon. Yon vwa soti nan syèl la, li di: Ou se Pitit mwen renmen anpil la, ou fè kè m' kontan anpil.
and the Rukha d'Qudsha descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."
