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.
On one occasion when he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, the crowd pressed upon him to listen to the word of God.
2 Li wè de kannòt bò rivaj la; pechè yo te desann atè, yo t'ap lave senn yo.
But he saw two fishing-boats on the shore of the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and 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.
He went on board one of the boats which belonged to Simon, and asked him to push out a little way from land. Then he sat down and continued to teach the crowd from the boat.
4 Lè li fin pale, li di Simon konsa: Vanse kannòt la plis nan fon; jete senn ou pou peche.
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Push out into 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.
"Master," answered Simon, "although we toiled all night, we took nothing; but at your bidding I will let down the nets."
6 Yo lage senn lan; yo pran yon kantite pwason. Tèlman pwason yo te anpil, senn lan t'ap chire.
And when they had done this they enclosed a great multitude of fish; and their nets began to break.
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.
So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
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.
When Simon Peter saw this he fell down at the knees of Jesus, exclaiming, "Depart from me, O Lord, for I am a sinful man!"
9 Yon sèl sezisman te pran Simon ak tout mesye ki te avèk li yo lè yo wè kantite pwason yo te pran.
(For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the haul of fish which they had made;
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 so were Simon’s partners, Jamesand John, sons of Zebedee.) But Jesus answered Simon. "Fear not; from this time on, you will be catching men."
11 Yo mennen kannòt yo atè, yo kite tout bagay, y' ale avèk Jezi.
So when they had brought their boats to land they left everything and 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.
Another time when he was in one of their cities, there was a man there full of leprosy. And he, upon seeing Jesus, fell on his face and implored him. "Lord," he said, "if only you choose you can make me clean."
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 he stretched out his hand and touching him, said. "I do choose; be made clean."
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 instantly the leprosy left him. Jesus ordered him to tell no one, "But be off," he said, "show yourself to the priest, and make the offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, 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 all the more the report about him continued to spread; and great crowds began to come together to hear him, and to be healed of their infirmities.
16 Men, Jezi wete kò l', li al yon kote ki pa gen moun menm, li t'ap lapriyè.
But Jesus himself habitually withdrew into solitary places, and there used to pray.
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.
One day he was teaching, and near to him were seated Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.
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 behold there came men carrying a paralytic on a bed; and they tried to bring him and lay him before Jesus, but they could not because of the crowd.
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.
So they went up on the roof, and let him down through the tiling, with his bed, into the crowd, before Jesus.
20 Jezi wè jan yo te kwè nan li, li di nonm malad la: Monchè, tout peche ou yo padonnen.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven you!"
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 Pharisees began to cavil. "Who is this?" they asked, "speaking blasphemies? Who can 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?
Conscious of their cavilings, Jesus answered, saying.
23 Ki sak pi fasil pou m' di: Peche ou yo padonnen osinon: Leve kanpe, mache.
"What is this caviling in your hearts? Which is easier to say, "Your sins are forgiven," or to say, "Rise 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 you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to the paralytic), "I bid you rise, take up your bed, and go to your 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 instantly he arose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and went away 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!
Astonishment fell upon them all, and they began to glorify God, and they were filled with awe, and they said, "We have seen strange things today."
27 Apre sa, Jezi soti, li wè yon pèseptè kontribisyon yo te rele Levi. Li te chita devan biwo travay li.
After this he went forth and noticed a tax-gatherer, named Levi, sitting at the tax-office, and said to him, "Follow me."
28 Jezi di l' konsa: Swiv mwen. Levi annik leve, li kite tout bagay, li swiv Jezi.
He rose, left everything, and 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.
Levi also made him a great reception at his house. There was a large party of tax-gatherers and others who were dining 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 the Pharisees and their scribes began complaining to his disciples, saying, "Why are you eating and drinking with tax- gatherers and sinners?"
31 Jezi reponn yo: Lè yon moun ansante, li pa bezwen dòktè. Se moun malad ki bezwen dòktè.
Jesus answered them saying. "They who are well have no need of a physician, but they who 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 the righteous but sinners, 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.
Again they said unto him. "Why do the disciples of Johnfast frequently, and make supplications, as also do the disciples of the Pharisees, but your disciples are eating and drinking?"
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?
"Can you make the bridal party fast," he asked, while the bridegroom is still 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 there is coming a day when the Bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then at that time they will fast."
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.
He also told them a parable. "No one," he said, "tears a piece from a new garment, and patches it upon an old one; otherwise he will tear the new garment, and the patch from the new will not mend 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.
"Nor does any one pour new wine into old wine-skins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and will itself be spilled, and the skins be destroyed
38 Men, diven ki fenk fèt, sa dwe ale nan veso an po ki fenk fèt tou.
"But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins
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 man after drinking old wine, wishes for new; for he says, "The old is better.""
