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 came to passe in those dayes, that there came a decree from Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be taxed.
2 Sa se te premye resansman global ki te fèt pandan Quirinius te gouvènè a Syrie.
(This first taxing was made when Cyrenius was gouernour of Syria.)
3 Tout moun te kòmanse anrejistre pou resansman an, chak moun nan pwòp vil pa li.
Therefore went all to be taxed, euery man to his owne Citie.
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,
And Ioseph also went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazareth, into Iudea, vnto the citie of Dauid, which is called Beth-leem (because he was of the house and linage of Dauid, )
5 pou l ta kapab anrejistre ansanm avèk Marie, ki te fiyanse li, e ki te ansent.
To bee taxed with Marie that was giuen him to wife, which was with childe.
6 Li te vin rive ke pandan yo te la, jou yo te vin rive pou l akouche.
And so it was, that while they were there, the daies were accomplished that shee shoulde be deliuered,
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 foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadling clothes, and laide him in a cratch, because there was no roome for them in the ynne.
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 in the same countrey shepheards, abiding in the fielde, and keeping watch by night ouer their flocke.
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 loe, the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and the glorie of the Lord shone about them, and they were sore afraide.
10 Men zanj yo te di yo: “Pa pè, paske gade, mwen pote bòn nouvèl a gwo lajwa ki va pou tout pèp la.
Then the Angel saide vnto them, Be not afraid: for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great ioy, that shalbe to 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.
That is, that vnto you is borne this day in the citie of Dauid, a Sauiour, which 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 shalbe a signe to you, Yee shall finde the babe swadled, and laid in a cratch.
13 Lapoula te parèt avèk zanj lan yon foul lame syèl la ki t ap fè lwanj Bondye, e ap di:
And straightway there was with the Angel a multitude of heauenly souldiers, 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 be to God in the high heauens, and peace in earth, and towards men 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 came to passe whe the Angels were gone away from them into heauen, that the shepheards sayde one to another, Let vs goe then vnto Beth-leem, and see this thing that is come to passe which the Lord hath shewed vnto vs.
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.
So they came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch.
17 Alò, lè yo te wè sa, yo te fè konnen pawòl ki te livre a yo konsènan pitit sila a.
And when they had seene it, they published abroade the thing, that was tolde them of that childe.
18 Tout moun ki te tande sa te etone de bagay ke bèje yo t ap di yo.
And all that heard it, wondred at ye things which were tolde them of the shepheards.
19 Men Marie te kache tout sa pou sonje l, e li te reflechi sou yo nan kè li.
But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondred 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 shepheardes returned glorifiyng and praising God, for all that they had heard and seene as it was spoken vnto 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 when the eight daies were accomplished, that they shoulde circumcise the childe, his name was then called Iesus, which was named of the Angell, before he was conceiued in the wombe.
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 when the daies of her purification after the Lawe of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Hierusalem, 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”),
(As it is written in the Lawe of the Lord, Euery man childe that first openeth ye wombe, shalbe 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 to giue an oblation, as it is commanded in the Lawe of the Lord, a paire of turtle doues, or two yong 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 Hierusalem, whose name was Simeon: this man was iust, and feared God, and waited for the consolation of Israel, and the holy Ghost was vpon 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 it was declared to him from God by the holy Ghost, that he shoulde not see death, before he had seene that Anointed 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 came by the motion of the spirit into the Temple, and when the parents brought in the babe Iesus, to do for him after the custome of the Lawe,
28 Epi li te ranmase li nan bwa li. Li te beni Bondye, e te di:
Then hee tooke him in his armes, and praised God, and sayd,
29 “Koulye a Senyè, W ap kite sèvitè Ou a pati anpè selon pawòl Ou.
Lord, nowe lettest thou thy seruaunt depart in peace, according to thy woorde,
30 Paske zye m gen tan wè delivrans Ou,
For mine eyes haue seene thy saluation,
31 ke ou prepare devan tout nasyon yo;
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people,
32 “yon limyè revelasyon pou payen yo, epi laglwa a pèp Ou a, Israël.”
A light to be reueiled to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Papa L avèk manman L te etone de bagay ke yo t ap di sou Li yo.
And Ioseph and his mother marueiled at those things, which were spoken touching 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 saide vnto Mary his mother, Beholde, this childe is appointed for the fall and rising againe of many in Israel, and for a signe which shalbe spoken against,
35 Yon nepe va travèse menm nanm pa ou, jiskaske panse a kè anpil moun kapab vin revele.”
(Yea and a sworde shall pearce through thy soule) that the thoughts of many heartes may be opened.
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 Prophetesse, one Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser, which was of a great age, after she had liued with an husband seuen yeeres from her virginitie:
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 she was widowe about foure score and foure yeeres, and went not out of the Temple, but serued God with fastings and prayers, 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.
She then coming at the same instant vpon them, confessed likewise the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Hierusalem.
39 Lè yo te fin acheve tout bagay selon Lalwa Senyè a, yo te retounen Galilée, nan pwòp vil pa yo, nan Nazareth.
And when they had performed all thinges according to the lawe of the Lord, they returned into Galile to their owne citie Nazareth.
40 Pitit la te kontinye grandi, e Li t ap vin fò. Li te ogmante nan sajès, e gras Bondye te sou Li.
And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in Spirit, and was filled with wisedome, and the grace of God was with him.
41 Alò paran Li yo te konn ale Jérusalem chak ane nan fèt Pak Jwif la.
Nowe his parents went to Hierusalem euery yeere, at the feast of the Passeouer.
42 Lè L te vin gen douz ane, yo te monte la selon koutim fèt la.
And when hee was twelue yeere olde, and they were come vp to Hierusalem, after the custome of the feast,
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 had finished the dayes thereof, as they returned, the childe Iesus remained in Hierusalem, and Ioseph knew not, nor his mother,
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 they supposing, that he had bene in the company, went a dayes iourney, and sought him among their kinsfolke, and acquaintance.
45 Lè yo pa t twouve Li, yo te retounen Jérusalem pou chache Li.
And when they found him not, they turned backe to Hierusalem, and sought 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 came to passe three dayes after, that they found him in the Temple, sitting in the mids of the doctours, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
47 Tout sila ki te tande Li yo te etone de jan li te konprann, ak repons ke Li te bay yo.
And all that heard him, were astonied at his vnderstanding and answeres.
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.”
So when they sawe him, they were amased, and his mother said vnto him, Sonne, why hast thou thus dealt with vs? beholde, thy father and I haue sought thee with very heauie hearts.
49 Li te di yo: “Poukisa nou t ap chache mwen? Èske nou pa t konnen ke M te oblije lakay Papa M?”
Then said he vnto them, Howe is it that ye sought me? knewe ye not that I must goe about my Fathers busines?
50 Men yo pa t konprann pawòl ke Li te di yo a.
But they vnderstoode not the word that he spake 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.
Then hee went downe with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subiect to them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Epi Jésus te kontinye grandi nan sajès, ak wotè, epi nan gras avèk Bondye e avèk lèzòm.
And Iesus increased in wisedome, and stature, and in fauour with God and men.
