Lik 15
1 Alò tout kolektè kontribisyon yo avèk pechè yo t ap vin toupre L pou koute Li.
Then resorted vnto him all ye publicas and synners for to heare him.
2 Ni Farizyen yo, ni skrib yo te kòmanse plenyen. Yo t ap di: “Mesye sa a resevwa pechè yo e manje avèk yo.”
And the pharises and scribes murmured sayinge: He receaved to his copany synners and eateth with them.
3 Donk Li te di yo parabòl sila a. Li te di:
Then put he forthe this similitude to the sayinge:
4 “Ki moun pami nou, si li gen yon santèn mouton e li vin pèdi youn, li p ap kite Katreven-diznèf la nan chan patiraj la, pou ale dèyè sila ki pèdi a, jiskaske li twouve l?
What man of you havynge an hundred shepe yf he loose one of thee doth not leve nynty and nyne in the wyldernes and goo after yt which is loost vntyll he fynde him?
5 E lè l twouve li, l ap mete l sou zepòl li, e l ap rejwi.
And whe he hath founde him he putteth him on his shulders with ioye:
6 Lè l rive lakay li, l ap rele ansanm tout zanmi avèk vwazen li yo, e l ap di yo: ‘Rejwi avè m, paske mwen twouve mouton m ki te pèdi a!’
And assone as he cometh home he calleth to gedder his lovers and neghbours sayinge vnto them: reioyse with me for I have founde my shepe which was loost.
7 “Mwen di nou ke menm jan an, va gen plis jwa nan syèl la sou yon pechè ki repanti, ke sou katreven-diznèf moun ki pa bezwen repanti.
I say vnto you yt lyke wyse ioye shalbe in heven over one synner yt repenteth moore then over nynety and nyne iuste persons whiche nede noo repentauce.
8 “Oubyen, ki fanm, si li gen dis pyès lajan, e vin pèdi youn nan yo, li p ap limen yon lanp, e bale kay la pou l chache avèk atansyon jiskaske li twouve l?
Ether what woman havynge. x. grotes yf she loose one doth not lyght a candell and swepe ye housse and seke diligently tyll she fynde it?
9 Lè l twouve l, l ap rele tout zanmi li yo ansanm, e l ap di yo: ‘Rejwi avè m, paske mwen twouve pyès lajan ke m te pèdi a!’
And when she hath founde it she calleth her lovers and her neghbours sayinge: Reioyce wt me for I have founde the groate which I had loost.
10 “Menm jan an konsa, Mwen di nou, gen lajwanan prezans zanj Bondye yo, sou yon sèl pechè ki repanti.”
Lykwyse I saye vnto you ioye is made in ye presence of ye angels of god over one synner yt repenteth.
11 Ankò li di: “Yon sèten mesye te gen de fis;
And he sayde: a certayne man had two sonnes
12 Pi jenn nan te di a papa li: ‘Papa, ban mpati pa m nan eritaj ki tonbe pou mwen an.’ Donk, li tedivize byen li pami yo.
and the yonger of them sayde to his father: father geve me my parte of the goodes yt to me belongeth. And he devided vnto them his substaunce.
13 “Pa anpil jou apre, pi jenn fis la te rasanble tout bagay pou te fè yon vwayaj nan yon peyi byen lwen, kote li te gaspiye tout eritaj li a nan yon vi banbòch.
And not longe after ye yonger sonne gaddered all that he had to gedder and toke his iorney into a farre countre and theare he wasted his goodes with royetous lyvinge.
14 Alò, lè l te fin depanse tout, yon gwo grangou te parèt nan peyi sila a, e li te kòmanse vin nan bezwen.
And when he had spent all that he had ther rose a greate derth thorow out all yt same londe and he began to lacke.
15 Donk, li te ale anplwaye tèt li a yon sitwayen nan peyi sila a, e li te voye li nan chan an pou bay kochon yo manje.
And he went and clave to a citesyn of yt same countre which sent him to his felde to kepe his swyne.
16 Epi li te anvi plen vant li avèk po kochon yo t ap manje yo, e pèsòn pa t bay li anyen.
And he wold fayne have filled his bely with the coddes that ye swyne ate: and noo man gave him.
17 “Men lè li te vin reflechi byen, li te di: ‘Konbyen nan ouvriye papa m yo ki gen kont pen, men mwen ap mouri isit la avèk grangou.
Then he came to him selfe and sayde: how many hyred servauntes at my fathers have breed ynough and I dye for honger.
18 Mwen va leve ale vè papa m’, e mwen va di l: ‘Papa, mwen peche kont syèl la, e nan zye ou.
I will aryse and goo to my father and will saye vnto him: father I have synned agaynst heven and before ye
19 Mwen pa ankò dign pou rele fis ou. Fè m tankou youn nan anplwaye ou yo.’
and am no moare worthy to be called thy sonne make me as one of thy hyred servauntes.
20 Donk, li te leve, e te ale kote papa l. “Men pandan l te toujou byen lwen, papa li te wè li. Li te gen konpasyon pou li. Li te kourianbrase l e te bo li.
And he arose and went to his father. And when he was yet a greate waye of his father sawe him and had compassion and ran and fell on his necke and kyssed him.
21 Epi fis la te di li: ‘Papa, mwen peche kont syèl la, e nan zye ou. Mwen pa ankò dign pou m kapab rele fis ou.
And the sonne sayd vnto him: father I have synned agaynst heven and in thy sight and am no moare worthy to be called thy sonne.
22 “Men papa a te di a esklav li yo: ‘Fè vit potepi bèl vètman ki genyen an, mete li sou li, e mete yon bag nan men li ak soulye nan pye li.
But his father sayde to his servautes: bringe forth that best garment and put it on him and put a rynge on his honde and showes on his fete.
23 Anplis mennen jenn ti bèf byen gra a; touye li, e annou manje pou fè fèt.
And bringe hidder that fatted caulfe and kyll him and let vs eate and be mery:
24 Paske konsa, fis mwen an temouri; koulye a li vivan ankò. Li te pèdi, men mwen jwenn li ankò.’ Epi yo te kòmanse fè fèt la.
for this my sonne was deed and is alyve agayne he was loste and is now founde. And they began to be merye.
25 “Alò, pi gran fis la te nan chan an. Lè li te vin toupre kay la, li te tande mizik avèk moun k ap danse.
The elder brother was in the felde and when he cam and drewe nye to ye housse he herde minstrelcy and daunsynge
26 Li te rele youn nan sèvitè yo, e te kòmanse fè ankèt pou mande kisa bagay sa yo ta kapab ye.
and called one of his servauntes and axed what thoose thinges meate.
27 “Li te di li: ‘Frè ou a vini, e papa ou touye jenn ti bèf byen gra a, paske li rejwenn li ankò sen e sof.’
And he sayd vnto him: thy brother is come and thy father had kylled ye fatted caulfe because he hath receaved him safe and sounde.
28 “Men li te vin fache, e li pa t dakò antre. Papa l te soti. Li te kòmanse plede avè l.
And he was angry and wolde not goo in. Then came his father out and entreated him.
29 “Men li te reponn e te di a papa l: “Gade, pandan konbyen ane m ap sèvi ou, e mwen pa janm neglije yon lòd ou; men malgre sa, ou pa janm ban mwen yon kabrit pou m ta kapab fè fèt avèk zami mwen yo.
He answered and sayde to his father: Loo these many yeares have I done the service nether brake at eny tyme thy commaundment and yet gavest thou me never soo moche as a kyd to make mery wt my lovers:
30 Men lè fis sila a te vini, li menm ki devorebyen ou avèk pwostitiye yo, ou te touye ti bèf byen gra a, pou li.
but assone as this thy sonne was come which hath devoured thy goodes with harlootes thou haste for his pleasure kylled ye fatted caulfe.
31 “Papa a te di l: ‘Fis mwen, ou toujou avè m, e tout sa ke m gen se pou ou.
And he sayd vnto him: Sonne thou wast ever with me and all that I have is thyne:
32 Men nou te dwe fè fèt, e rejwi, paske frè ou sa ate mouri, e li kòmanse ap viv ankò. Li te pèdi, e koulye a, li retwouve.’”
it was mete that we shuld make mery and be glad: for this thy brother was deed and is a lyve agayne: and was loste and is founde.
