Lik 13
1 Alò, nan menm lè sa a, te gen kèk moun prezan ki te bay Li yon rapò sou Galileyen sila yo, ke Pilate te mele san yo avèk sakrifis pa yo.
Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
2 Jésus te reponn yo: “Èske nou sipoze ke Galileyen sa yo te pi gwo pechè pase tout lòt Galileyen yo akoz yo te soufri sò sa a?
‘Do you suppose,’ replied Jesus, ‘that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
3 Mwen di nou: ‘Non’, men amwenske nou repanti, nou tout ap peri konsa.
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
4 Oubyen èske nou sipoze ke lè tou nan Siloé a te tonbe sou diz-uit yo, e te touye yo, ke yo te koupab pase tout lòt moun ki t ap viv Jérusalem yo?
Or those eighteen men at Siloam on whom the tower fell, killing them all, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than any other inhabitants of Jerusalem?
5 “Mwen di nou non, men amwenske nou repanti, nou tout va peri menm jan an.”
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.’
6 Li te kòmanse pale parabòl sila a: “Yon sèten mesye te gen yon pye fig frans ki te plante nan chan li. Li te vini pou chache fwi sou li, e li pa t twouve anyen.
And Jesus told them this parable – ‘A man, who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, came to look for fruit on it, but could not find any.
7 Konsa, li te di a jeran chan rezen yo: ‘Gade, depi twa lane m ap vini la pou chache fwi, sou pye sila a, san twouve anyen. Koupe retire li nèt! Poukisa menm l ap okipe espas tè a?’
So he said to his gardener “Three years now I have come to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any! Cut it down. Why should it rob the soil?”
8 Li te reponn pou di l: ‘Kite li nan plas li mesye, pou lane sila a toujou, jis lè ke m fouye tè otou de li pou mete angrè.
“Leave it this one year more, Sir,” the man answered, “until I have dug round it and manured it.
9 Si li pote fwi lane pwochèn, sa bon, men si sa pa fèt, koupe l jete.’”
Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.”’
10 Konsa, li t ap enstwi nan youn nan sinagòg yo nan Saba a.
Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the synagogues,
11 Epi vwala, te gen yon fanm ki t ap vèse san pandan diz-uit lane. Li te gen yon maladi ki te fèt pa yon move lespri, ki fè l koube doub, e li pa t kapab drese menm.
and he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.
12 Lè Jésus te wè l, Li te rele li vini. Li te di l: “Fanm, ou lib de enfimite ou a”.
When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said, ‘Woman, you are released from your weakness.’
13 Li te poze men Li sou li, e imedyatman, li te drese dwat ankò, e te kòmanse bay lwanj a Bondye.
He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise God.
14 Men ofisye sinagòg la, byen move akoz Jésus te geri nan Saba a, te di foul la kòm repons: “Gen sis jou pou travay kapab fèt. Konsa, vini pandan jou sa yo pou geri, men pa nan jou Saba a.”
But the synagogue leader, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, intervened and said to the people, ‘There are six days on which work ought to be done; come to be cured on one of those, and not on the Sabbath.’
15 Men Senyè a te reponn li: “Nou ipokrit, èske nou chak nan Saba a pa demare bèf li, oswa bourik li sou manjwa a pou l kab mennen l al bwè?
‘You hypocrites!’ the Master answered him. ‘Does not everyone of you let your ox or your donkey loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?
16 Alò, fanm sa a, yon fi Abraham, jan li ye a, mare pa Satan pandan diz-uit ane byen long, èske li pa t dwe lage nan chèn sila a nan jou Saba a?”
But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been kept in bondage by Satan for now eighteen years, ought not she to have been released from her bondage on the Sabbath?’
17 Pandan ke Li t ap di sa a, tout advèsè Li yo te imilye, men tout foul la te rejwi yo nan tout mèvèy ke Li t ap fè yo.
As he said this, his opponents all felt ashamed; but all the people rejoiced to see all the wonderful things that he was doing.
18 Konsa Li t ap di: “A kisa wayòm Bondye a sanble, e a kilès Mwen kapab konpare li?
So Jesus said, ‘What is the kingdom of God like? And to what can I liken it?
19 Se tankou yon grenn moutad ke yon mesye te ale jete nan pwòp jaden li. Li te grandi e li te vin tounen yon pyebwa, epi zwazo anlè yo te vin fè nich nan branch li.”
It is like a mustard seed which a man took and put in his garden. The seed grew and became a tree, and the wild birds roosted in its branches.’
20 Ankò Li te di: “A kilès pou M ta konpare wayòm syèl la?
And again Jesus said, ‘To what can I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Se tankou ledven ke yon fanm te pran e mete nan twa mezi farin jiskaske tout te vin leve.”
It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.’
22 Li t ap pase de yon vil a yon lòt, pou bay enstriksyon pandan Li t ap fè wout Li vè Jérusalem.
Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards Jerusalem.
23 Konsa, yon moun te di Li: “Senyè, èske se sèlman kèk moun k ap sove?” Li te reponn yo:
‘Master,’ someone asked, ‘are there but few in the path of salvation?’ And Jesus answered,
24 “Fè efò pou antre pa pòt etwat la; paske anpil, Mwen di nou, va eseye antre, e yo p ap kapab.
‘Strive to go in by the narrow door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
25 Depi mèt kay la leve efèmen pòt la, epi konsa, n ap kanpe deyò pou di: ‘Senyè, ouvri pou nou’. Alò, li va reponn, e va di nou: ‘Mwen pa konnen nou, ni kote nou sòti’.
when once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, while you begin to say, as you stand outside and knock, “Sir, open the door for us.” His answer will be – “I do not know where you come from.”
26 “Konsa, nouva kòmanse di: ‘Nou te manje bwè nan prezans Ou, e Ou te enstwi nan lari nou yo.’
Then you will begin to say “We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets,” and his reply will be –
27 “Epi Li va di: ‘Mwen di nou, Mwen pa konnen kote nou sòti. Kite Mwen, nou tout ki fè inikite.’
“I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.”
28 Va gen kriye fò, ak manje dannan plas sa a lè nou wè Abraham, Isaac avèk Jacob ak tout pwofèt yo nan wayòm syèl la, men nou menm, k ap jete deyò.
There, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, while you yourselves are being driven outside.
29 Yova sòti nan lès, ak lwès, e nan nò avèk sid, epi yo va repoze sou tab la nan wayòm syèl la.
People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet in the kingdom of God.
30 “Gade byen, genkèk moun ki dènye ki va vin premye, e kèk moun ki premye ki va vin dènye.”
There are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!’
31 Nan menm jou sa a, kèk Farizyen te pwoche. Yo te di L: “Ale kite isit la, paske Hérode vle touye Ou.”
Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said, ‘Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you.’
32 Li te reponn yo: “Ale di rena sa a ‘Gade, Mwen chase move lespri yo, e Mwen fè gerizon jodi a, ak demen. Epi nan twazyèm jou a bi m va fin acheve.
But Jesus answered, ‘Go and say to that fox “Look you, I am driving out demons and will be completing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will have done.”
33 Malgre sa, Mwen oblije fè wout Mwen jodi a, demen ak jou apre a, paske li pa kapab fèt pou yonpwofèt ta peri andeyò Jérusalem.’”
But today and tomorrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a prophet should meet his end outside Jerusalem.
34 O Jérusalem, Jérusalem, vilki touye pwofèt yo, e lapide sila ki te voye kote li yo! Kijan souvan Mwen te vle rasanble pitit nou yo ansanm tankou yon poul ranmase pitit li yo anba zèl li, men nou pa t fè sa!
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You who slays the prophets and stones the messengers sent to you – Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children round me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
35 “Gade, lakay nou rete nan men nou dezole, epi Mwen di nou, nou p ap wè M ankò jiskaske nou di: ‘Beni se Sila a ki vini nan non Senyè a!’”
Verily your house is left to you desolate! And never, I tell you, will you see me, until you say – “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”’
