Lik 16
1 Alò, Li t ap osi di a disip yo: “Te gen yon sèten mesye rich ki te gen yon jeran. Konsa, yon rapò te vin rive ke li t apgaspiye byen li yo.
AND he spake a parable to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a house-chief; and he was accused to him that his substance he wasted.
2 Li te rele li, e te di li: ‘Kisa ke m tande sou ou la a? Bay yon kontwòl sou jerans ou, paske ou pa kab jeran ankò.’
And his lord called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give me the account of thy house-headship; for thou canst no longer be house-chief unto me.
3 “Jeran an te di a pwòp tèt li: ‘Kisa m ta fè, paske mèt mwen ap retire jerans lan nan men mwen? Mwen pa gen ase fòs pou m fouye, e mwen wont mande lacharite.
And the house-chief said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the house-headship. I cannot dig, and to beg I am ashamed.
4 Mwen konnen kisa mwen va fè, pou lè yo retire m nan jerans lan, pou moun yo kab resevwa m lakay pa yo a.’
I know what I will do, that when I shall be put out of the house-headship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 “Konsa, li te rele chak moun ki te dwe mèt li a. Li te kòmanse di a premye a: ‘Konbyen ou dwe mèt mwen an?’
And he called one by one from the debtors of his lord, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 “Li te di: ‘San mezi lwil’. E li te di li: ‘Pran nòt ou e chita byen vit pou ekri senkant.’
And he said to him, An hundred metres of oil. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down quickly, and write fifty metres.
7 “Answit, li te di a yon lòt: ‘Epi konbyen ou dwe? “Li te reponn: ‘San mezi ble.’ E li te di li: ‘Pran nòt ou pou ekri katreven.’
And he said to another, And thou, how much owest thou to my lord? He saith to him, An hundred kureen of wheat. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down, write eighty kureen.
8 “Konsa, mèt la te fè konpliman a jeran enjis la, paske li te aji avèk yon koken sajès. Paske fis a laj sila yo pi koken nan relasyon a moun parèy yo pasefis a limyè yo. (aiōn g165)
And praised our Lord the house-chief who was unjust, in that he had done wisely; for the sons of this world are wiser than the sons of light in this their generation. (aiōn g165)
9 “Mwen di nou: “Fè zanmi pou tèt nou pa mwayen arichès enjis yo; pou lè l echwe, yo kapab resevwa nou nan kay ki etènèl yo. (aiōnios g166)
Also I say unto you, Make to you friends from this wealth of unrighteousness, that, when perfect, they may receive you into the tabernacles of eternity. (aiōnios g166)
10 “Sila a ki fidèl nan yon ti bagay piti, ap fidèl osi nan bagay ki gran. E sila ki enjis nan ti bagay piti, ap enjis osi nan bagay ki gran.
Whoever in the little is faithful, in the great also is faithful; and he who in the little is unjust, in the great also is unjust.
11 “Donk, si nou pa fidèl nan sèvisrichès enjis yo, kilès ki va konfye nou vrè richès yo.
If, therefore, in the wealth of unrighteousness you have not been faithful, the truth to you who will confide?
12 Epi si nou pa fidèl nan sèvis ak sa ki pou yon lòt, kilès ki va bannou sa ki pou nou?
And if in that which is not yours you are not found faithful, your own who will give to you?
13 “Okenn sèvitè pa kapab sèvi de mèt; paske swa l ap rayi youn, e renmen lòt la, oswa l ap kenbe a youn e meprize lòt la. Nou pa kapab sèvi Bondye, ak richès yo.”
No man can serve two lords; for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or the one he will honour, and the other despise. You cannot serve Aloha and wealth.
14 Alò, Farizyen yo ki te renmen lajan anpil t ap koute tout bagay sa yo, e yo t ap moke L.
But the Pharishee, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.
15 Li te di yo: “Nou menm se sila yo ki jistifye pwòp tèt nou nan zye lèzòm, menBondye konnen kè nou. Paske sila ki gen gwo valè pami lèzòm yo, yo abominab nan zye Bondye.
But Jeshu said to them, You are they who justify yourselves before the sons of men; but Aloha knoweth your hearts. For, what is exalted among men, before Aloha is abominable.
16 “Lalwa avèk pwofèt yo te pwoklame jiska Jean. Depi lè sa a bòn nouvèl a wayòm Bondye a preche, e tout moun ap fòse antre ladann.
The law and the prophets were until Juchanon; from thenceforth the kingdom of Aloha is preached, and every one presseth to enter.
17 Men li pi fasil pou syèl la avèk tè a vin disparèt pase pou yon sèl mak oubyen lèt Lalwa ta anile.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than one letter from the law to pass away.
18 “Nenpòt moun ki divòse ak madanm li pou marye avèk yon lòt fè adiltè; e sila a ki marye a youn ki divòse ak yon mari, fè adiltè.
Every one who looseth his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and every one who taketh the dismissed, committeth adultery.
19 “Alò, te gen yon sèten mesye rich ki te toujou abiye an mov ak lèn fen, e ki t ap viv nan gran richès chak jou.
NOW there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in byssos and purple, and every day feasted gaily.
20 “Alò, yon sèten mesye pòv ki te rele Lazare tekouche devan pòtay li, kouvri nèt avèk maleng.
And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Loózar; and he lay at the gate of him who was rich, bruised with wounds,
21 Li te byen anvi resevwa sèl ti mòso ki t ap tonbe soti sou tab mesye rich la. Anplis menm chen te konn vin pou niche maleng li yo.
and desired to fill his belly with the crumbs which fell from the table of that rich. And also the dogs came and licked his wounds.
22 “Epi li rive ke nonm malere a te mouri, e li te vin pote pa zanj yo pou rive nan senAbraham nan. Konsa, mesye rich la te mouri tou, e li te antere.
Now that poor man died, and angels conducted him to the bosom of Abraham: but that rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Nanplas sejou mò yo, li te nan toumant. Li te leve zye li, e te wè Abraham byen lwen, ak Lazare nan sen li. (Hadēs g86)
And, tormented in shiul, he lifted up his eyes afar, and seeth Abraham, and Loózar in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Li te kriye fò, e te di: ‘Papa Abraham, fè m gras, voye Lazare pou li kapab mete dwèt li nan dlo pou rafrechi lang mwen! Paske mwen nan doulè ekstrèm nan flanm sa a.
And he cried with a high voice, and said, My father Abraham, have compassion upon me, and send Loózar, that he may dip the top of his finger in waters, and moisten my tongue; for, behold, I am tormented in this flame.
25 “Men Abraham te di: ‘Pitit, sonje ke pandan lavi ou, ou te resevwa bon bagay yo. E menm jan an, Lazare te resevwa move bagay yo. Men koulye a, l ap konsole isit la, e ou menm nan gran doulè.
Abraham said to him, My son, remember that thou didst receive thy goods in thy life, and Loózar his evils, and now, behold, he reposeth here, and thou art tormented.
26 Anplis de sa, antre nou avèk ou menm, gen yon gran vid byen etabli pou anpeche sila isit yo ki vle travèse kote ou a, e ke pèsòn pa kapab travèse soti la a pou rive kote nou menm nan.’
And with all these, there is a great void set between us and you, that they who would pass from hence unto you are not able, nor they also who would pass from thence to us.
27 “Pou sa li te di: ‘Alò, mwen sipliye ou Papa, pou ou voye li lakay papa m—
He said to him, I pray thee, then, my father, to send him unto my father's house:
28 Pwiske mwen gen senk frè—pou li kapab avèti yo, pou ke yo menm tou pa vini nan plas toumant sa a.’
for five brethren have I; let him go and testify unto them, that they also come not to this place of torment.
29 “Men Abraham te di: ‘Yo gen Moïse avèk pwofèt yo. Kite yo tande yo.’
Abraham said to him, They have Musha and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 “Men li te di: ‘Non. Papa Abraham, men si yon moun ta sòti nan mò a, ale kote yo, yo va repanti!’
But he said to him, No, my father Abraham, but if one from the dead shall go unto them, they repent.
31 “Men li te di yo: ‘Si yo pa koute Moïse avèk pwofèt yo, nonpli, yo p ap kwè menm si yon moun leve soti nan lanmò.
Abraham saith to him, If Musha and the prophets they hear not, neither, if one from the dead should rise, would they believe him.
