Lik 2
1 Alò, li te rive nan jou sa yo ke yon dekrè te sòti nan César Auguste, ke yon resansman global ta vin fèt pou tout mond lan kote moun rete.
And it happened in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, so that the whole world would be enrolled.
2 Sa se te premye resansman global ki te fèt pandan Quirinius te gouvènè a Syrie.
This was the first enrollment; it was made by the ruler of Syria, Quirinius.
3 Tout moun te kòmanse anrejistre pou resansman an, chak moun nan pwòp vil pa li.
And all went to be declared, each one to his own city.
4 Anplis, Joseph te monte kite Galilée nan vil Nazareth la, pou rive nan Juda, vil David, ke yo rele Bethléhem nan, akoz ke li te sòti nan kay ak fanmi a David,
Then Joseph also ascended from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
5 pou l ta kapab anrejistre ansanm avèk Marie, ki te fiyanse li, e ki te ansent.
in order to be declared, with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
6 Li te vin rive ke pandan yo te la, jou yo te vin rive pou l akouche.
Then it happened that, while they were there, the days were completed, so that she would give birth.
7 Li te bay nesans a premye fis li, epi li te vlope Li nan twal pou nouvo ne yo. Li te mete Li nan yon manjwa, akoz ke pa t gen plas pou Li nan otèl la.
And she brought forth her firstborn son. And she wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them at the inn.
8 Nan menm andwa a, te gen bèje deyò nan chan an ki t ap okipe bann mouton yo pandan nwit lan.
And there were shepherds in the same region, being vigilant and keeping watch in the night over their flock.
9 Konsa yon zanj Bondye te vin kanpe sibitman devan yo, epi glwa a Bondye te klere toutotou de yo; e yo te vin ranpli avèk laperèz.
And behold, an Angel of the Lord stood near them, and the brightness of God shone around them, and they were struck with a great fear.
10 Men zanj yo te di yo: “Pa pè, paske gade, mwen pote bòn nouvèl a gwo lajwa ki va pou tout pèp la.
And the Angel said to them: “Do not be afraid. For, behold, I proclaim to you a great joy, which will be for all the people.
11 Paske jodi a nan vil David la, te vin ne pou nou menm, yon Sovè, ki se Kris la, Senyè a.
For today a Savior has been born for you in the city of David: he is Christ the Lord.
12 Epi sa va yon sign pou nou; nou va twouve yon anfan vlope nan twal, e kouche nan yon manjwa.”
And this will be a sign for you: you will find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”
13 Lapoula te parèt avèk zanj lan yon foul lame syèl la ki t ap fè lwanj Bondye, e ap di:
And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the celestial army, praising God and saying,
14 “Glwa a Bondye nan pi wo a, e sou latè a, lapè pami lèzòm ki fè L kontan yo.”
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.”
15 Li te rive ke lè zanj yo te kite yo pou retounen nan syèl, ke bèje yo te kòmanse di youn ak lòt: “Alò, annou ale toudwat Bethléhem pou wè bagay sa a ke Bondye fè nou konprann nan.”
And it happened that, when the Angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us cross over to Bethlehem and see this word, which has happened, which the Lord has revealed to us.”
16 Yo te fè vit pou rive e te twouve chemen pou rive kote Marie avèk Joseph, avèk pitit ki te kouche nan manjwa a.
And they went quickly. And they found Mary and Joseph; and the infant was lying in a manger.
17 Alò, lè yo te wè sa, yo te fè konnen pawòl ki te livre a yo konsènan pitit sila a.
Then, upon seeing this, they understood the word that had been spoken to them about this boy.
18 Tout moun ki te tande sa te etone de bagay ke bèje yo t ap di yo.
And all who heard it were amazed by this, and by those things which were told to them by the shepherds.
19 Men Marie te kache tout sa pou sonje l, e li te reflechi sou yo nan kè li.
But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
20 Bèje yo te retounen e yo t ap bay Bondye glwa avèk lwanj pou tout sa ke yo te tande e wè, jan ke li te pale a yo menm nan.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told to them.
21 Lè uit jou te fin pase avan sikonsizyon Li te fèt, yo te bay Li non Jésus, menm non ki te bay pa zanj yo avan Li te plase nan vant lan.
And after eight days were ended, so that the boy would be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, just as he was called by the Angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Lè jou pou yo vin pirifye yo te rive selon Lalwa Moïse la, yo te mennen Li Jérusalem pou prezante Li devan Senyè a.
And after the days of her purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, in order to present him to the Lord,
23 (Jan li ekri nan Lalwa Senyè a: “Tout mal ki premye ouvri vant lan va rele sen a Bondye”),
just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “For every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord,”
24 epi pou ofri yon sakrifis selon sa ki te pale nan Lalwa Senyè a, “yon pè toutrèl, oswa, de jenn pijon.”
and in order to offer a sacrifice, according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25 Konsa, te gen yon mesye Jérusalem ki te rele Siméon. Mesye sa a te jis e devwe. Li t ap chache konsolasyon Israël, epi Lespri Sen an te sou li.
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and God-fearing, awaiting the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was with him.
26 Li te revele a li menm ke li pa t ap wè lanmò avan ke li te wè Kris a Senyè a.
And he had received an answer from the Holy Spirit: that he would not see his own death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
27 Konsa, li te nan Lespri a lè l te antre nan tanp lan nan menm lè paran Jésus yo te pote pitit la, pou akonpli pou Li koutim Lalwa a.
And he went with the Spirit to the temple. And when the child Jesus was brought in by his parents, in order to act on his behalf according to the custom of the law,
28 Epi li te ranmase li nan bwa li. Li te beni Bondye, e te di:
he also took him up, into his arms, and he blessed God and said:
29 “Koulye a Senyè, W ap kite sèvitè Ou a pati anpè selon pawòl Ou.
“Now you may dismiss your servant in peace, O Lord, according to your word.
30 Paske zye m gen tan wè delivrans Ou,
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 ke ou prepare devan tout nasyon yo;
which you have prepared before the face of all peoples:
32 “yon limyè revelasyon pou payen yo, epi laglwa a pèp Ou a, Israël.”
the light of revelation to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.”
33 Papa L avèk manman L te etone de bagay ke yo t ap di sou Li yo.
And his father and mother were wondering over these things, which were spoken about him.
34 Siméon te beni yo, e te di a Marie, manman Li: “Veye byen, anfan sila a fèt pou tonbe ak leve a anpil moun an Israël, e pou yon sign k ap koze opozisyon.
And Simeon blessed them, and he said to his mother Mary: “Behold, this one has been set for the ruin and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and as a sign which will be contradicted.
35 Yon nepe va travèse menm nanm pa ou, jiskaske panse a kè anpil moun kapab vin revele.”
And a sword will pass through your own soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
36 Anplis te gen yon pwofetès, Anne, fi a Phanuel, ki te nan tribi Aser. Li te avanse nan laj, e li te viv avèk mari li pandan sèt ane apre maryaj la,
And there was a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher. She was very advanced in years, and she had lived with her husband for seven years from her virginity.
37 answit, kon vèv jis rive nan laj katre-ven-kat ane. Li pa t janm kite tanp lan e te sèvi lajounen kon lannwit nan jèn ak lapriyè.
And then she was a widow, even to her eighty-fourth year. And without departing from the temple, she was a servant to fasting and prayer, night and day.
38 Nan menm moman sila a, li te monte, e li te bay glwa a Bondye. Li te kontinye pale de Li a tout sila ki t ap chache redanmsyon Jérusalem nan.
And entering at the same hour, she confessed to the Lord. And she spoke about him to all who were awaiting the redemption of Israel.
39 Lè yo te fin acheve tout bagay selon Lalwa Senyè a, yo te retounen Galilée, nan pwòp vil pa yo, nan Nazareth.
And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city, Nazareth.
40 Pitit la te kontinye grandi, e Li t ap vin fò. Li te ogmante nan sajès, e gras Bondye te sou Li.
Now the child grew, and he was strengthened with the fullness of wisdom. And the grace of God was in him.
41 Alò paran Li yo te konn ale Jérusalem chak ane nan fèt Pak Jwif la.
And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the time of the solemnity of Passover.
42 Lè L te vin gen douz ane, yo te monte la selon koutim fèt la.
And when he had become twelve years old, they ascended to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast day.
43 Pandan yo t ap retounen, apre tout jou yo te pase, jenn gason an, Jésus te rete dèyè nan Jérusalem. Men paran Li yo pa t konnen sa.
And having completed the days, when they returned, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And his parents did not realize this.
44 Yo te sipoze ke Li te pami lòt moun yo. Yo te vwayaje pandan yon jou, e yo te kòmanse ap chache Li pami manm fanmi avèk zanmi yo.
But, supposing that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey, seeking him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 Lè yo pa t twouve Li, yo te retounen Jérusalem pou chache Li.
And not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 Konsa apre twa jou, yo te twouve Li nan tanp lan. Li t ap chita pami mèt yo, pou tande yo, e poze yo kesyon.
And it happened that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, listening to them and questioning them.
47 Tout sila ki te tande Li yo te etone de jan li te konprann, ak repons ke Li te bay yo.
But all who listened to him were astonished over his prudence and his responses.
48 Lè yo te wè Li, yo te etone. Manman Li te di Li: “Pitit mwen, Poukisa Ou trete nou konsa? Gade, papa Ou ak mwen menm te enkyete, e nou t ap chache Ou.”
And upon seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: “Son, why have you acted this way toward us? Behold, your father and I were seeking you in sorrow.”
49 Li te di yo: “Poukisa nou t ap chache mwen? Èske nou pa t konnen ke M te oblije lakay Papa M?”
And he said to them: “How is it that you were seeking me? For did you not know that it is necessary for me to be in these things which are of my Father?”
50 Men yo pa t konprann pawòl ke Li te di yo a.
And they did not understand the word that he spoke to them.
51 Konsa, Li te ale avèk yo, e te rive nan Nazareth. Li te kontinye anba otorite yo, e manman L te gade tout bagay sa yo nan kè l.
And he descended with them and went to Nazareth. And he was subordinate to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.
52 Epi Jésus te kontinye grandi nan sajès, ak wotè, epi nan gras avèk Bondye e avèk lèzòm.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and in age, and in grace, with God and men.
