Lik 11
1 Li te rive ke pandan Li t ap priye nan yon sèten kote, lè L te fini, youn nan disip Li yo te di Li: Senyè, montre nou kijan pou nou priye, menm jan ke Jean osi te montre disip li yo.
And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 Li te di yo: “Lè n ap priye, di: ‘Papa nou ki nan syèl la, ke non Ou kapab Sen. Ke wayòm Ou kapab vini. Ke volonte ou kapab fèt sou latè a, menm jan kon nan syèl la.
And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
3 Bannou chak jou pen nou pou jounen an.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Konsa, padone peche nou yo, paske nou menm osi padone tout sila ki dwe nou. Pa mennen nou nan tantasyon, men delivre nou de sila ki mechan an.’”
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
5 Answit, Li te di yo: “Sipoze ke youn nan nou ta gen yon zanmi, e nou ale kote li a minwi pou di li: ‘Zanmi, prete m twa mòso pen.
And he said to them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 Mwen gen yon zanmi ki vini, soti nan yon vwayaj, e mwen pa gen anyen pou mete devan l.’
For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7 Depi anndan, li va di: ‘Pa deranje m! Pòt la fèmen deja. Pitit mwen yo avèk mwen menm deja nan kabann nan, e mwen pa kapab leve pou bay ou anyen.’
And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
8 Mwen di nou, menm si li p ap leve bay li anyen paske li se zanmi li, men akoz pèsistans li, l ap leve pou bay li kont sa li bezwen.
I say to you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
9 “Donk Mwen di nou: Mande, e nou va resevwa. Chache e nou va twouve. Frape, e l ap ouvri bannou.
And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
10 Paske tout moun ki mande, va resevwa. Sila a ki chache, va twouve. E a sila a ki frape, l ap ouvri.
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 “Alò, sipoze ke youn nan papa nou yo resevwa yon demann de fis li pou yon pen. Li p ap bay li yon wòch olye de pen. Se pa sa? O si li mande pou yon pwason, èske li va bay li yon kolèv?
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he shall ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Oubyen si li mande li pou bay li yon ze, èske l ap bay li yon eskòpyon?
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 Si nou menm ki mechan, alò, konnen kijan pou bay bon kado a pitit nou yo, konbyen anplis Papa nou nan syèl la va bay Lespri Sen an a sila yo ki mande Li?”
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14 Answit, Li t ap chase yon dyab nan yon bèbè. Lè dyab la te fin sòti, gason bèbè a te pale. Konsa, foul la te etone.
And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people marvelled.
15 Men kèk nan yo te di: “Li chase dyab yo pa Béelzébul, mèt dyab yo.”
But some of them said, He casteth out demons through Beelzebub the chief of the demons.
16 Gen Lòt yo, pou teste L, t ap mande L yon sign ki sòti nan syèl la.
And others, tempting him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 Men Li te konnen panse yo. Li te di yo: “Nenpòt wayòm ki divize kont tèt li va detwi. E yon kay divize kont tèt li ap tonbe.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
18 Si Satan osi divize kont tèt li, kijan wayòm li an va kanpe? Paske nou di ke Mwen chase dyab yo pa Béelzébul.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.
19 Men si Mwen menm pa Béelzébul chase dyab yo, pa kilès fis nou yo konn chase yo? Konsa, se yo menm k ap jij nou yo.
And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20 Men, si Mwen chase dyab yo ak dwèt Bondye a, alò, wayòm syèl la gen tan vini sou nou.
But if I with the finger of God cast out demons, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 Lè yon nonm fò, plen zam, veye pwòp kay li, byen li yo rete ansekirite.
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
22 Men lè yon moun avèk plis fòs pase l vin atake l, li bat li, e li retire nan men li tout zam li yo, pou l vin divize piyaj la.
But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour in which he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23 Sila ki pa avèk Mwen an, kont Mwen; e sila ki pa rasanble avè Mwen an, ap gaye.
He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
24 Lè lespri enpi a kite yon nonm, li travèse kote ki sèch pou chache repo. Lè l pa twouve, li di: ‘Mwen va retounen lakay mwen kote m sòti a.’
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return to my house from which I came out.
25 “Lè l vini, li touve l byen bale, e mete an lòd.
And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Answit li sòti pou chache pran sèt lòt dyab pi mal pase li menm, e yo vin antre pou viv la. Konsa, dènye eta a nonm sa a pi mal pase premye a.”
Then he goeth, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
27 Pandan Jésus t ap di bagay sa yo, youn nan fanm yo nan foul la te leve vwa li. Li te di Li: “Beni se vant ki te pote Ou a, e tete kote Ou te souse a.”
And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the breasts which nourished thee.
28 Men Li te di: “Okontrè, beni se sila yo ki tande pawòl Bondye a, e ki swiv li.”
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 Pandan foul la t ap ogmante, Li te kòmanse di: “Jenerasyon sila a se yon jenerasyon pèvès; l ap chache yon sign, men okenn sign p ap bay, sof ke sign a Jonas la.
And when the people were thickly gathered together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30 Paske menm jan ke Jonas te vin yon sign pou Ninivit yo, menm jan an Fis a Lòm nan va ye pou jenerasyon sila a.
For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of man be to this generation.
31 “Rèn Sid la va leve avèk lèzòm a jenerasyon sila a nan jijman, e kondane yo; akoz li menm te vini soti nan lekstremite tè a pou tande sajès a Salomon, e konsa, veye byen, gen yon bagay pi gran pase Salomon isit la.
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
32 “Lèzòm Niniv yo va kanpe avèk jenerasyon sila a nan jijman an, e kondane li, paske yo te repanti lè Jonas te preche. Konsa, veye byen, gen yon bagay pi gran ke Jonas isit la.
The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
33 “Pèsòn, lè l fin limen yon lanp pa mete li nan yon kote an kachèt, ni anba yon panyen, men sou yon chandelye, pou sila ki antre yo kapab wè limyè a.
No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a basket, but on a lampstand, that they who come in may see the light.
34 “Lanp a kò nou se zye nou. Lè zye nou klè, tout kò nou osi ranpli avèk limyè; men lè l pa bon, kò nou osi ranpli avèk tenèb.
The lamp of the body is the eye: therefore when thy eye is clear, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thy eye is bad, thy body also is full of darkness.
35 “Alò, veye ke limyè nan nou an pa tenèb.
Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36 “Si donk, tout kò nou ranpli avèk limyè, san tenèb ladann, li va klere nèt, tankou lè lanp klere nou avèk reyon li.”
If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp doth give thee light.
37 Alò, lè L fin pale, yon Farizyen te mande Li pou dine avè L. Li te antre e te repoze sou tab la.
And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to eat.
38 Lè Farizyen an te wè sa, li te etone, paske Li pa t fè devwa lave men L avan manje a.
And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 Men Senyè a te di: “Nou menm Farizyen yo netwaye tas la pa deyò, ansanm ak plato a. Men anndan nou ranpli avèk vòl ak mechanste.
And the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness.
40 Nou menm bann ensanse, èske Sila ki te fè deyò a, pa t fè anndan an tou?
Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41 Men bay sa ki anndan an kòm charite, e konsa tout bagay ap pwòp pou nou.
But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean to you.
42 “Men malè a nou menm, Farizyen yo! Paske nou peye ladim, mant, ak lari de tout epis jaden an. Malgre sa, nou neglije lajistis avèk lanmou Bondye. Men bagay sa yo nou te dwe fè, san neglije lòt yo.
But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over justice and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the others undone.
43 Malè a nou menm, Farizyen yo! Paske nou renmen chèz a chèf nan sinagòg yo, ak salitasyon respè nan mache yo.
Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the best seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Malè a nou menm! Paske nou tankou tonm kache, pou moun mache sou yo san ke yo pa menm konnen.”
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
45 Youn nan avoka yo te reponn Li: “Mèt, lè Ou di sa, W ap ensilte nou osi.”
Then answered one of the lawyers, and said to him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
46 Konsa, Li te di: “Malè a nou menm, avoka yo osi! Paske nou chaje kò a moun avèk chaj ki lou, pandan nou menm, nou p ap menm manyen chaj sa yo avèk youn nan dwèt nou.
And he said, Woe to you also, ye lawyers! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 “Malè a nou menm! Paske nou bati tonm a pwofèt yo, pandan se zansèt nou yo ki te touye yo.
Woe to you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Konsa, nou vin temwen yo, e vin dakò avèk zak a zansèt nou yo. Paske se te yo menm ki te touye yo, e se nou ki bati tonm yo.
Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
49 “Pou rezon sa, sajès a Bondye te di: “Mwen va voye bay yo pwofèt ak apòt. Kèk yo va touye, e kèk yo va pèsekite;
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
50 jiskaske tout san a pwofèt yo ki te vèse depi fondasyon mond lan kapab chaje kont jenerasyon sila a,
That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51 soti nan san Abel la, jis rive nan san a Zacharie, ki te peri antre nan otèl la ak kay Bondye a. Wi, Mwen di nou, li va chaje kont jenerasyon sila a.
From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 “Malè a nou menm, avoka yo! Paske yo pran nan men nou kle konesans lan. Nou pa t antre nou menm, e sila ki t ap antre ladann yo, nou te anpeche yo.”
Woe to you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye have not entered in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
53 Lè L te kite la, skrib yo avèk Farizyen yo te kòmanse vin move anpil. Yo te kesyone L byen pre sou anpil sijè,
And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
54 paske yo t ap eseye fòme yon konplo kont Li pou kenbe L nan yon pawòl ke Li ta petèt pale.
Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.
