Lik 18
1 Alò, Li t ap di yo yon parabòl pou montre ke nan tout tan yo te dwe priye, e pa dekouraje.
AND he spake also a parable to them, that in all time (men) should pray and not weary.
2 Li t ap di: “Te gen nan yon sèten vil, yon jij ki pa t pè Bondye, ni pa trespekte moun.
There was a judge in a certain city who of Aloha was not afraid, and of men was not regardful.
3 “Alò, Te gen yon vèv nan menm vil sa a, e li te toujou ap vin kote li pou di l: ‘Ban m pwoteksyon kont advèsè mwen an.’
But a certain widow was in that city, who came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
4 “Nan kòmansman, li pa t dakò, men apre li te vin di tèt li: ‘Malgre ke m pa pè Bondye, nirespekte moun,
And he was not willing long time; but afterward he said within himself, If of Aloha I am not afraid, and of men am not regardful,
5 menakoz ke vèv sa a anmède m, mwen va bay li pwoteksyon legal. Otreman li ap kontinye vin kote mwen tout tan, e l ap fatige m nèt.’”
yet, because this widow wearies me, I will avenge her, that in all time she come not molesting me.
6 Epi Senyè a te di: “Koute byen sa ke jij enjis la te vle di.
And our Lord said, Hear what saith the unrighteous judge.
7 Alò, èske Bondye p ap fè jistis pousila Li chwazi yo, ki kriye a Li lajounen kon lannwit, epi èske Li vafè anpil reta sou yo?
But shall not Aloha do vengeance for his chosen, who cry to him by day and by night, and prolong his spirit towards them?
8 “Mwen di nou ke Li va fè jistis pou yo byen vit. Sepandan lè Fis a Lòm nan vini, èske Li va twouve lafwa sou latè?”
I tell you he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man shall come, will he find faith upon the earth?
9 Li te anplis pale parabòl sila a pou kèk moun ki te kwè nan tèt yo ke yo te jis, ete gade lòt yo kòm piba.
And he spake this parable against some who trusted in themselves that they were just, and despised all (men):
10 “De mesyete monte nan tanp lan pou priye, yon Farizyen, e lòt la yon kolektè kontribisyon.
Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisha, the other a publican;
11 “Farizyen an tekanpe e t ap priye konsa a li menm: ‘Bondye, mwen remèsye Ou ke mwen pa tankou lòt moun; twonpè yo, enjis yo, adiltè yo, oswa menm tankou kolektè kontribisyon sila a.
and, behold, the Pharisha stood (and) within himself these words prayed: Aloha, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious and unjust, and adulterers; nor as this publican.
12 Mwen fè jèn de fwa chak semèn. Mwenpeye ladim sou tout sa mwen fè.’
But I fast twice in the week, and tithe whatever I possess.
13 Men kolektè kontribisyon an te kanpe a yon distans, epa t menm dakò pou leve zye li vè syèl la, men lit ap bat lestomak li, e t ap di: “Bondye, fè gras a mwen, ki pechè a.
But that publican stood from afar, and would not even his eyes lift up to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, Aloha, be merciful to me a sinner!
14 “Mwen di nou ke mesye sa a te desann lakay li jistifye pase lòt la, paskenenpòt moun ki leve tèt li va vin imilye, e sila a ki imilye tèt li a, va vin leve.”
I tell you that this one went down justified to his house, rather than that Pharisha. For every man who exalteth himself shall be humbled, and every one who humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 Alò, yo t ap pote menm tibebe bay li pou Li ta kapab touche yo, men lè disip yo te wè sa, yo te kòmanse reprimande yo.
Then they brought to him infants, that he should touch them: and the disciples saw it, and rebuked them.
16 Men Jésus te rele yo, e te di: “Kite timoun yo vin kote Mwen, e pa anpeche yo, paske wayòm Bondye a se pou sila yo ki tankou yo menm.
But Jeshu called them, and said to them, Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of those who are as these,
17 “Anverite, Mwen di nou: ‘Nenpòt moun ki pa resevwa wayòm Bondye a tankou yon timoun, li p ap antre ladan l menm.’”
of them is the kingdom of heaven. Amen I say to you, That whoever does not receive the kingdom of Aloha as a child, shall not enter into it.
18 Konsa, yon sèten direktè te kesyone L e te di: “Bon mèt, kisa pou m ta fè pou eritye lavi etènèl?” (aiōnios g166)
AND one of the rulers asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jésus te mande l: “Poukisa ou rele M bon? Nanpwen pèsòn ki bon sof ke Bondye sèl.
Jeshu saith to him, Why callest thou me good, and none is good but one, Aloha?
20 Ou konnen kòmandman yo. ‘Pa fè adiltè, pa touye moun, pa vòlè, pa fè fo temwayaj, onore papa ou avèk manman ou.’”
The commandments thou knowest, Thou shalt not kill, and, Thou shalt not commit adultery, and, Thou shalt not steal, and, Thou shalt not witness false testimony, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 Li te di: “Tout bagay sa yo mwen fè yo depi nan jenès mwen”.
He saith to him, These all have I kept from my childhood.
22 Lè Jésus te tande sa, Li te di li: “Yon sèl bagay ou manke toujou. Vann tout sa ke ou posede e separe yo bay malere. Konsa ou va gen richès nan syèl la, epi vin swiv Mwen.”
But when Jeshu heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking with thee; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come after me.
23 Men lè li te tande bagay sa yo, li te vin byen tris, paske li te gen anpil richès.
But he, when he heard these words, was grieved; for he was very rich.
24 Lè l wè tristès li, Jésus te gade l, e te di: “Tèlman li difisil pou sila ki rich yo antre nan wayòm Bondye a!
And when Jeshu saw that he was grieved, he said, How difficult is it to those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of Aloha!
25 Li pi fasil pou yon chamo pase nan zye a yon egwi, pase pou yon nonm rich ta antre nan wayòm Bondye a.”
It is easier for a camel into the aperture of a needle to enter, than the rich into the kingdom of Aloha.
26 Sila yo ki te tande sa te di: “Alò, kilès ki kapab sove?”
They who heard said to him, And who can be saved?
27 Men Li te di: “Bagay ki pa posib avèk lòm posib avèk Bondye.”
But Jeshu said, Those (things) which with the sons of men are not possible, with Aloha are possible to be done.
28 Konsa, Pierre te di: “Gade byen, nou kite pwòp kay nou pou swiv Ou.”
Shemun Kipha said to him, Behold, we have forsaken every thing, and have come after thee.
29 Li te di yo: “Anverite Mwen di nou ke pa gen pèsòn ki te kite kay, oswa madanm, oswa paran, oswa zanfan yo, pou koz a wayòm syèl la,
Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to you, That no man who leaveth houses, or fathers, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of Aloha,
31 Answit Li te pran douz yo sou kote, e te di yo: “Veye byen, n ap monte Jérusalem, e tout bagay ki te ekri pa pwofèt yo konsènan Fis a Lòm nan va vin acheve.
AND Jeshu took the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Urishlem, and shall be fulfilled all (things) that are written in the prophets concerning the Son of man.
32 Paske Li va livre a etranje yo, e li va moke, maltrete, e y ap krache sou Li.
For he will be delivered to the Gentiles; and they will deride him, and spit in his face,
33 Lè yo fin bat Li avèk fwèt, yo va touye Li. Epi nan twazyèm jou a, l ap leve ankò.”
and will scourge him, and maltreat him, and kill him; and the third day he shall arise.
34 Men disip yo pa t konprann anyen nan bagay sa yo. Pawòl sa te kache a yo menm, e yo pa t konprann bagay ki t ap pale yo.
But not one of these understood they: for this word was hidden from them, and they knew not those sayings which were spoken with them.
35 Pandan Jésus t ap pwoche Jéricho, yon sèten mesye avèg te chita akote wout la pou mande charite.
And as he drew nigh to Jirichu, a certain blind man was sitting by the road-side, and begging.
36 Alò, li te tande foul la ki t ap pase, e te kòmanse mande kisa sa te ye.
And he heard the voice of the multitude as it was passing, and asked what was this.
37 Yo te reponn Li ke Jésus de Nazareth t ap pase.
They say to him, Jeshu Natsroya passeth.
38 Konsa, li te kòmanse rele fò, e te di: “Jésus, Fis a David la, Fè m gras!”
And he cried and said, Jeshu bar David, have mercy on me!
39 Sila yo ki t ap dirije chemen an t ap pale sevèman avè l pou fè silans; men li te kriye pi fò, “Jésus, Fis a David la, Fè m gras!”
And they who went before Jeshu rebuked him, that he might be silent: but he cried out the more, Son of David, have mercy on me!
40 Jésus te kanpe, e te bay lòd pou yo voye l kote Li. Lè l te vin toupre, Li te kesyone l:
And Jeshu stood, and commanded that they should lead him unto him. And when he, approached him, he asked him and said to him,
41 “Kisa ou vle M fè pou ou?” Epi Li te di: “Senyè, mwen vle vin wè ankò.”
What wilt thou I shall do for thee? And he said, My Lord, that I may see.
42 Jésus te di li: “Resevwa vizyon ou; lafwa ou fè ou geri.”
And Jeshu said to him, See! thy faith hath saved thee.
43 Imedyatman, li te vin wè ankò. Konsa, li te kòmanse swiv Li e li t ap bay glwa a Bondye. Lè tout moun te wè sa, yo te bay lwanj a Bondye.
And in an instant he saw, and came after him, and glorified Aloha: and all the people, when they saw, gave praise to Aloha.
