< Lik 5 >
1 Yon jou, Jezi te bò kote letan Jenezarèt la; yon foul moun t'ap kwense l' toupatou pou tande pawòl Bondye a.
And it came to pass, as the crowd pressed on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret:
2 Li wè de kannòt bò rivaj la; pechè yo te desann atè, yo t'ap lave senn yo.
and he saw two ships standing by the lake, but the fishermen, having come down from them, were washing their nets.
3 Jezi moute nan yonn nan kannòt yo ki te pou Simon. Li mande l' pou l' vanse yon ti kras nan fon. Antan Jezi chita nan kannòt la, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay.
And getting into one of the ships, which was Simon's, he asked him to draw out a little from the land; and he sat down and taught the crowds out of the ship.
4 Lè li fin pale, li di Simon konsa: Vanse kannòt la plis nan fon; jete senn ou pou peche.
But when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Draw out into the deep [water] and let down your nets for a haul.
5 Simon reponn li: Mèt, nou pase tout nwit lan ap travay san nou pa pran anyen. Men, paske se ou ki di nou fè sa, nou pral lage senn lan.
And Simon answering said to him, Master, having laboured through the whole night we have taken nothing, but at thy word I will let down the net.
6 Yo lage senn lan; yo pran yon kantite pwason. Tèlman pwason yo te anpil, senn lan t'ap chire.
And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net broke.
7 Yo fè asosye yo ki te nan lòt kannòt la siy vin ede yo. Yo vini; de kannòt yo te sitèlman plen pwason, yo te prèt pou koule.
And they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship to come and help them, and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were sinking.
8 Lè Simon Pyè wè sa, li lage kò l' nan pye Jezi, li di l' konsa: Mèt, pa rete kote mwen, paske mwen pa bon.
But Simon Peter, seeing it, fell at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.
9 Yon sèl sezisman te pran Simon ak tout mesye ki te avèk li yo lè yo wè kantite pwason yo te pran.
For astonishment had laid hold on him, and on all those who were with him, at the haul of fishes which they had taken;
10 Se te menm bagay la tou pou Jak ak Jan, de pitit Zebede yo, ki te asosye Simon. Lè sa a Jezi di Simon: Pa pè. Depi koulye a se moun ou pral peche.
and in like manner also on James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; henceforth thou shalt be catching men.
11 Yo mennen kannòt yo atè, yo kite tout bagay, y' ale avèk Jezi.
And having run the ships on shore, leaving all they followed him.
12 Pandan Jezi te nan yon lavil, yon nonm ki te kouvri ak lalèp vin rive. Lè l' wè Jezi, li lage kò l' fas atè, li di l' konsa: Mèt, si ou vle, ou ka geri mwen.
And it came to pass as he was in one of the cities, that behold, there was a man full of leprosy, and seeing Jesus, falling upon his face, he besought him saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me.
13 Jezi lonje men l', li manyen nonm lan, li di l': Wi, mwen vle ou geri. Menm lè a, lalèp la kite li.
And stretching forth his hand he touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed: and immediately the leprosy departed from him.
14 Jezi pase l' lòd sevè sa a: Pa di pesonn sa. Men, ale fè prèt la wè ki jan ou ye. Apre sa, wa ofri sa Moyiz te bay lòd ofri a. Konsa wa bay tout moun prèv ou geri.
And he enjoined him to tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing as Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.
15 Malgre sa, nouvèl la gaye pi plis; moun t'ap vin an foul pou tande li, pou chache gerizon nan men li.
But the report concerning him was spread abroad still more, and great crowds came together to hear, and to be healed from their infirmities.
16 Men, Jezi wete kò l', li al yon kote ki pa gen moun menm, li t'ap lapriyè.
And he withdrew himself, and was about in the desert [places] and praying.
17 Yon jou, Jezi t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Kèk farizyen ak kèk dirèktè lalwa te chita la; yo te soti nan tout bouk Galile yo, nan bouk Jide yo ak nan lavil Jerizalèm. Pouvwa Bondye te avèk Jezi, li t'ap geri malad yo.
And it came to pass on one of the days, that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and [out of] Jerusalem; and [the] Lord's power was [there] to heal them.
18 Se konsa, kèk moun vin ap pote yon nonm paralize kouche sou yon kabann. Yo t'ap chache fè l' antre nan kay la pou mete l' devan Jezi.
And lo, men bringing upon a couch a man who was paralysed; and they sought to bring him in, and put [him] before him.
19 Men, akòz foul moun yo, yo pa t' jwenn plas pou fè l' antre. Lè yo wè sa, yo moute sou do kay la, yo fè yon twou nan kouvèti kay la ki te fèt an brik, yo file malad la desann ak tout kabann li, nan mitan moun yo, dwat devan Jezi.
And not finding what way to bring him in, on account of the crowd, going up on the housetop they let him down through the tiles, with his little couch, into the midst before Jesus.
20 Jezi wè jan yo te kwè nan li, li di nonm malad la: Monchè, tout peche ou yo padonnen.
And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 Dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen yo t'ap di nan kè yo: Kilès nonm sa a k'ap pale mal sou Bondye konsa? Pa gen moun sou latè ki ka padonnen peche: sa se travay Bondye sèlman.
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason [in their minds], saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins but God alone?
22 Jezi menm te konnen sak t'ap pase nan tèt yo, li di yo konsa: Poukisa n'ap fè lide konsa nan tèt nou?
But Jesus, knowing their reasonings, answering said to them, Why reason ye in your hearts?
23 Ki sak pi fasil pou m' di: Peche ou yo padonnen osinon: Leve kanpe, mache.
which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 Enben, m'ap fè nou konnen mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen gen pouvwa sou latè pou m' padonnen peche tande. Apre sa, Jezi di nonm paralize a: Se mwen menm k'ap pale avè ou: Leve kanpe, pran kabann ou, ale lakay ou.
But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralysed man, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy little couch and go to thine house.
25 Menm lè a, nonm lan kanpe devan yo tout, li pran kabann li te kouche sou li a, li al lakay li, li t'ap fè lwanj Bondye.
And immediately standing up before them, having taken up that whereon he was laid, he departed to his house, glorifying God.
26 Tout moun te sezi. Yo t'ap fè lwanj Bondye. Yo te pè anpil tou, yo t'ap di: Ala bèl mèvèy nou wè jòdi a!
And astonishment seized all, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.
27 Apre sa, Jezi soti, li wè yon pèseptè kontribisyon yo te rele Levi. Li te chita devan biwo travay li.
And after these things he went forth and saw a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the receipt of taxes, and said to him, Follow me.
28 Jezi di l' konsa: Swiv mwen. Levi annik leve, li kite tout bagay, li swiv Jezi.
And having left all, rising up, he followed him.
29 Apre sa, Levi fè yon gwo resepsyon lakay li pou Jezi. Te gen anpil pèseptè kontribisyon ansanm ak lòt moun ankò ki te chita bò tab la avèk yo.
And Levi made a great entertainment for him in his house, and there was a great crowd of tax-gatherers and others who were at table with them.
30 Farizyen yo ak dirèktè lalwa ki te fè gwoup ak yo t'ap babye, yo di disip Jezi yo: Poukisa n'ap plede manje, n'ap plede bwè konsa ak pèseptè kontribisyon ansanm ak lòt moun k'ap fè sa ki mal?
And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with tax-gatherers and sinners?
31 Jezi reponn yo: Lè yon moun ansante, li pa bezwen dòktè. Se moun malad ki bezwen dòktè.
And Jesus answering said to them, They that are in sound health have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.
32 Enben, mwen pa vin rele moun k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye, men moun k'ap fè sa ki mal pou yo kapab tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
I am not come to call righteous [persons], but sinful [ones] to repentance.
33 Gen kèk moun ki di Jezi konsa: Patizan Jan Batis yo ak patizan farizyen yo fè jèn souvan, se tout tan y'ap lapriyè. Men disip pa ou yo, tout tan se manje, se bwè.
And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often and make supplications, in like manner those also of the Pharisees, but thine eat and drink?
34 Jezi reponn yo: Eske nou ka fòse zanmi yon nonm k'ap marye pou yo rete san manje tout tan li la avèk yo?
And he said to them, Can ye make the sons of the bridechamber fast when the bridegroom is with them?
35 Non. Men, lè lè a rive pou nonm k'ap marye a pa avèk yo ankò, se lè sa a y'a fè jèn.
But days will come when also the bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then shall they fast in those days.
36 Epi li di yo parabòl sa a: Pesonn p'ap chire yon moso nan yon rad nèf pou pyese yon vye rad. Si ou fè sa, ou chire rad nèf la, lèfini moso twal nèf la pa ale ak vye rad la non plis.
And he spoke also a parable to them: No one puts a piece of a new garment upon an old garment, otherwise he will both rend the new, and the piece which is from the new will not suit with the old.
37 Konsa tou, pesonn pa mete diven ki fenk fèt nan vye veso fèt an po. Si ou fè sa, diven ki fenk fèt la va pete veso an po yo. Lè sa a, diven an koule atè, veso an po yo pèdi tou.
And no one puts new wine into old skins, otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;
38 Men, diven ki fenk fèt, sa dwe ale nan veso an po ki fenk fèt tou.
but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved.
39 Yon moun ki fin bwè diven ki la lontan p'ap vle bwè diven ki fenk fèt. Se sa pawòl la di: Pi vye pi bon.
And no one having drunk old wine [straightway] wishes for new, for he says, The old is better.
