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 pass in those days, there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world be registered—
2 Sa se te premye resansman global ki te fèt pandan Quirinius te gouvènè a Syrie.
this census first came to pass when Quirinius was governor of Syria—
3 Tout moun te kòmanse anrejistre pou resansman an, chak moun nan pwòp vil pa li.
and all were going to be registered, each to his proper 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,
and Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, that is called Beth-Lehem, because of his being of the house and family of David,
5 pou l ta kapab anrejistre ansanm avèk Marie, ki te fiyanse li, e ki te ansent.
to register himself with Mary his betrothed wife, being with Child.
6 Li te vin rive ke pandan yo te la, jou yo te vin rive pou l akouche.
And it came to pass, in their being there, the days were fulfilled for her bringing forth,
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 Son—the firstborn, and wrapped Him up, and laid Him down in the manger, because there was not a place for them in the guest-chamber.
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, lodging in the field and keeping the night-watches 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, a messenger of the LORD stood over them, and the glory of the LORD shone around them, and they feared [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 messenger said to them, “Do not fear, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be 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.
because today in the city of David a Savior was born to you, who 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 [is] the sign to you: you will find a Baby wrapped up, lying in the 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 came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, 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 in the highest to God, and on earth peace, among 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 pass, when the messengers were gone away from them to the heavens, that the men, the shepherds, said to one another, “We may indeed go over to Beth-Lehem and see this thing that has come to pass, that the LORD made known 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 came, having hurried, and found both Mary, and Joseph, and the Baby lying in the manger,
17 Alò, lè yo te wè sa, yo te fè konnen pawòl ki te livre a yo konsènan pitit sila a.
and having seen, they made known abroad concerning the saying spoken to them concerning the Child.
18 Tout moun ki te tande sa te etone de bagay ke bèje yo t ap di yo.
And all who heard [it] wondered concerning the things spoken to them by the shepherds;
19 Men Marie te kache tout sa pou sonje l, e li te reflechi sou yo nan kè li.
and Mary was preserving all these things, 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 turned back, glorifying and praising God for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken 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 when eight days were fulfilled to circumcise the Child, then was His Name called Jesus, having been so called by the messenger before His being 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 when the days of their purification were fulfilled, according to the Law of Moses, they brought Him up to Jerusalem, to present 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 has been written in the Law of the LORD: “Every male opening a womb will 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 to give a sacrifice, according to that said in the Law of the LORD: “A pair of turtle-doves, 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 [is] Simeon, and this man is righteous and devout, looking for the comforting of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on 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 has been divinely told him by the Holy Spirit—not to see death before he may see 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 came in the Spirit into the temple, and in the parents bringing in the child Jesus, for their doing according to the custom of the Law regarding Him,
28 Epi li te ranmase li nan bwa li. Li te beni Bondye, e te di:
then he took Him in his arms, and blessed God, and he said,
29 “Koulye a Senyè, W ap kite sèvitè Ou a pati anpè selon pawòl Ou.
“Now You send Your servant away, O LORD, according to Your word, in peace,
30 Paske zye m gen tan wè delivrans Ou,
because my eyes saw Your salvation,
31 ke ou prepare devan tout nasyon yo;
which You prepared before the face of all the peoples,
32 “yon limyè revelasyon pou payen yo, epi laglwa a pèp Ou a, Israël.”
a light to the uncovering of 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 Joseph and His mother were wondering at the things spoken concerning 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 said to His mother Mary, “Behold, this [One] is set for the falling and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against—
35 Yon nepe va travèse menm nanm pa ou, jiskaske panse a kè anpil moun kapab vin revele.”
(and also a sword will pass through your own soul)—that the reasonings 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 Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, she was much advanced in days, having lived with a husband 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 she [is] a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, serving with fasts and supplications, 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 she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the LORD, and was speaking concerning Him to all those looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
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 completed all things according to the Law of the LORD, they turned back to Galilee, to their city of 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 Child grew and was strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on Him.
41 Alò paran Li yo te konn ale Jérusalem chak ane nan fèt Pak Jwif la.
And His parents were going yearly to Jerusalem, at the Celebration of the Passover,
42 Lè L te vin gen douz ane, yo te monte la selon koutim fèt la.
and when He became twelve years old, they having gone up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the celebration,
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 finished the days, in their returning the child Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and His mother did not know,
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.
and having supposed Him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey, and were seeking Him among the relatives and among the acquaintances,
45 Lè yo pa t twouve Li, yo te retounen Jérusalem pou chache Li.
and having not found Him, they turned back 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 came to pass, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing 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.
and all those hearing Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.
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 having seen Him, they were amazed, and His mother said to Him, “Child, why did You do this to us? Behold, Your father and I, sorrowing, were seeking You.”
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, “Why [is it] that you were seeking Me? Did you not know that it is necessary for Me to be in the things of My Father?”
50 Men yo pa t konprann pawòl ke Li te di yo a.
And they did not understand the saying 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 went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and He was subject to them, and His mother was keeping 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 Jesus was advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favor with God and men.
