Matye 5
1 Lè Jezi wè foul moun yo, li moute sou yon mòn. Li chita. Disip li yo pwoche bò kote l'.
And having seen the multitudes, He went up to the mountain, and He having sat down, His disciples came to Him,
2 Li tanmen moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Li di yo:
and having opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying,
3 Benediksyon pou moun ki konnen se pòv yo ye devan Bondye, paske peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se pou yo li ye.
“Blessed the poor in spirit—because theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
4 Benediksyon pou moun ki nan lapenn, paske Bondye va ba yo kouraj.
Blessed the mourning—because they will be comforted.
5 Benediksyon pou moun ki dou, paske y'a resevwa byen Bondye te sere pou yo a sou latè.
Blessed the meek—because they will inherit the land.
6 Benediksyon pou moun ki anvi viv jan Bondye vle l' la, paske Bondye va ba yo sa yo vle a.
Blessed those hungering and thirsting for righteousness—because they will be filled.
7 Benediksyon pou moun ki gen kè sansib, paske Bondye va fè yo wè jan li gen kè sansib tou.
Blessed the kind—because they will find kindness.
8 Benediksyon pou moun ki pa gen move lide nan tèt yo, paske y'a wè Bondye.
Blessed the clean in heart—because they will see God.
9 Benediksyon pou moun k'ap travay pou lèzòm viv byen yonn ak lòt, paske Bondye va rele yo pitit li.
Blessed the peacemakers—because they will be called sons of God.
10 Benediksyon pou moun ki anba pèsekisyon lè y'ap fè sa Bondye mande, paske peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se pou yo li ye.
Blessed those persecuted for righteousness’ sake—because theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 Benediksyon pou nou lè moun va joure nou, lè y'a pèsekite nou, lè y'a fè tout kalite manti sou nou paske se moun pa m' nou ye.
Blessed are you whenever they may reproach you, and may persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for My sake—
12 Fè kè nou kontan. Wi, nou mèt kontan nèt, paske yon gwo rekonpans ap tann nou nan syèl la. Se konsa yo te pèsekite pwofèt ki te vini anvan nou yo.
rejoice and be glad, because your reward [is] great in the heavens, for thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 Se sèl nou ye pou moun sou latè. Si sèl la pèdi gou l', ak kisa pou yo ba li gou ankò? Li pa vo anyen ankò. Se jete pou yo voye sa jete deyò, pou moun pile sa anba pye yo.
You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt may lose savor, in what will it be salted? It is good for nothing from now on, except to be cast outside, and to be trodden down by men.
14 Se limyè nou ye pou moun sou latè. Moun pa kapab kache yon lavil ki bati sou yon mòn.
You are the light of the world, a city set on a mountain is not able to be hid;
15 Ni yo pa limen yon lanp pou mete l' anba yon mamit. Men, yo mete l' sou yon etajè, pou l' klere pou tout moun ki nan kay la.
nor do they light a lamp and put it under the measure, but on the lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house;
16 Konsa tou, se pou limyè nou klere devan tout moun, pou lè yo wè tout byen n'ap fè yo, y'a fè lwanj Papa nou ki nan syèl la.
so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who [is] in the heavens.
17 Pa mete nan tèt nou mwen vin aboli lalwa Moyiz la ak sa pwofèt yo te moutre nou. Mwen pa vin pou aboli yo, mwen vin moutre sa yo vle di tout bon.
Do not suppose that I came to throw down the Law or the Prophets—I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill;
18 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: tout tan syèl la ak tè a va la, pa yon ti detay, ni yon sèl ti bout lèt nan lalwa a p'ap disparèt, jouk tout bagay ki pou rive yo rive.
for truly I say to you, until the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the Law, until all may come to pass.
19 Se sa ki fè, moun ki va dezobeyi yonn nan pi piti nan kòmandman sa yo, epi ki va moutre lòt moun pou yo fè menm jan an tou, moun sa a va pase pou pi piti nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la. Konsa tou, moun ki obeyi kòmandman sa yo, k'ap moutre lòt moun jan pou yo fè l' tou, moun sa a va pase pou pi gran nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.
Therefore whoever may loose one of these commands—the least—and may teach men so, he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach [them], he will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
20 Paske m'ap di nou sa: Si nou pa obeyi Lalwa Bondye a pi byen pase farizyen yo ak direktè lalwa yo, si nou pa viv pi byen pase yo, nou p'ap kapab antre nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.
For I say to you that if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, you may not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
21 Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di zansèt nou yo: Piga ou janm touye moun. Moun ki touye moun, se pou yo jije yo.
You heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not murder, and whoever may murder will be in danger of the judgment;
22 Men, mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Nenpòt moun ki ankòlè sou frè l', se pou yo jije li. Moun ki joure frè l' enbesil, se pou yo jije l' devan Gran Konsèy la. Si yon moun di frè l' moun fou, li bon pou yo jete l' nan dife lanfè a. (Geenna g1067)
but I say to you that everyone who is angry at his brother without cause will be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Stupid, will be in danger of the Sanhedrin, and whoever may say, Moron, will be in danger of the Gehenna of fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Konsa, si lè w'ap mete ofrann ou sou lotèl la bay Bondye, epi antan ou la devan lotèl la, ou chonje frè ou gen kichòy kont ou, men sa pou ou fè:
If, therefore, you may bring your gift to the altar, and there may remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 Kite ofrann lan la devan lotèl la, ale byen ak frè ou la anvan. Apre sa, wa tounen vin bay Bondye ofrann ou an.
leave there your gift before the altar, and go—first be reconciled to your brother, and then having come, bring your gift.
25 Si yon moun pote plent pou ou nan tribinal, prese mete ou dakò avè l' antan nou prale ansanm nan tribinal la, pou li pa lage ou nan men jij la, pou jij la pa lage ou nan men lapolis, pou yo pa mete ou nan prizon.
Be agreeing with your opponent quickly, while you are in the way with him, that the opponent may not deliver you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and you may be cast into prison;
26 Sa m'ap di ou la, se vre wi: ou p'ap soti nan prizon an toutotan ou pa peye dènye lajan yo mande ou la.
truly I say to you, you may not come forth from there until you may pay the last penny.
27 Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di: Piga ou janm fè adiltè.
You heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not commit adultery;
28 Mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Si yon nonm gade yon fi avèk lanvi, li deja fè adiltè avè l' nan kè l'.
but I say to you that everyone who is looking on a woman to desire her, already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Si se grenn je dwat ou ki pou ta fè ou tonbe nan peche, rache l' voye jete byen lwen ou. Pito ou pèdi yon sèl manm nan kò ou, pase pou yo voye tout kò ou nèt jete nan lanfè. (Geenna g1067)
But if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast from you, for it is good to you that one of your members may perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
30 Si se men dwat ou ki pou ta fè ou tonbe nan peche, koupe l' voye jete byen lwen ou. Pito ou pèdi yon sèl nan manm ou yo, pase pou tout kò a nèt al nan lanfè. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast from you, for it is good to you that one of your members may perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
31 Yo te konn di nou tou: Si yon nonm vle kite ak madanm li, fòk li ekri l' yon papye divòs.
And it was said that, Whoever may put away his wife, let him give to her a writing of divorce;
32 Men mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Yon nonm ki kite ak madanm li, si se pa pou lenkondit, nonm sa a lakòz madanm lan fè adiltè. Konsa tou, yon nonm ki marye ak yon madanm mari l' kite l', li fè adiltè tou.
but I say to you that whoever may put away his wife, except for the matter of whoredom, makes her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who has been put away commits adultery.
33 Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di zansèt nou yo: Ou pa dwe refize fè sa ou te sèmante pou ou te fè a. Se pou ou fè sa ou te sèmante fè devan Bondye.
Again, you heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not swear falsely, but you will pay to the LORD your oaths;
34 Men mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Pa fè sèman menm. Pa fè sèman sou syèl la, paske syèl la se fotèy kote Bondye chita.
but I say to you not to swear at all; neither by Heaven, because it is the throne of God,
35 Pa fè sèman sou tè a, paske tè a se ti ban kote Bondye poze pye li. Pa fè sèman sou lavil Jerizalèm, paske se lavil gwo Wa a.
nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is [the] city of [the] great King,
36 Pa fè sèman non plis sou tèt pa ou, paske ou pa ka fè yon sèl grenn cheve nan tèt ou tounen blan osinon nwa.
nor may you swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black;
37 Men, lè w'ap pale se wi ak non pou ou genyen ase. Tou sa ou mete an plis, se nan Satan sa soti.
but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil [one].
38 Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di: yon je pou yon je, yon dan pou yon dan.
You heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth;
39 Men mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Pa tire revanj sou moun ki fè nou mal. Si yon moun ba ou yon souflèt sou bò dwat, ba li bò gòch la tou.
but I say to you not to resist the evil, but whoever will slap you on your right cheek, turn to him also the other;
40 Si yon moun vle rele ou nan tribinal pou l' pran chemiz ou, kite palto a ba li tou.
and whoever is willing to take you to law, and to take your coat—also permit to him the cloak.
41 Si yon chèf vle fòse ou pote yon chaj pou li sou distans yon kilomèt, fè de kolomèt avè l'.
And whoever will impress you one mile, go with him two;
42 Bay lè moun mande ou. Pa refize prete moun ki mande ou prete.
to him who is asking of you be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from you, you may not turn away.
43 Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di: Se pou nou renmen frè parèy nou, men se pou nou rayi lènmi nou yo.
You heard that it was said: You will love your neighbor, and will hate your enemy;
44 Men mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: renmen tout lènmi nou yo, lapriyè pou moun k'ap pèsekite nou.
but I say to you, love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you,
45 Se konsa n'a tounen pitit Papa nou ki nan syèl la. Paske, li fè solèy la leve ni pou moun ki mechan ni pou moun ki bon. Li fè lapli tonbe ni pou moun k'ap fè sa ki byen ni pou moun k'ap fè sa ki mal.
that you may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because He causes His sun to rise on evil and good, and He sends rain on righteous and unrighteous.
46 Si nou plede renmen moun ki renmen nou ase, ki rekonpans nou merite pou sa? Eske pèseptè kontribisyon yo pa fè sa tou?
For if you may love those loving you, what reward do you have? Do the tax collectors not also do the same?
47 Lèfini, si se frè nou ase nou di bonjou, se yon pakèt afè sa ye atò? Eske moun lòt nasyon yo pa fè sa tou?
And if you may greet your brothers only, what do you do abundant? Do the nations not also do so?
48 Non, nou fèt pou nou bon nèt, menm jan Bondye Papa nou ki nan syèl la bon nèt.
You will therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in the heavens is perfect.”
