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.
Now it came to pass, in those days, that there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, for all the inhabited earth to be enrolled:
2 Sa se te premye resansman global ki te fèt pandan Quirinius te gouvènè a Syrie.
this enrolment, first was made while Cyrenius was governor of Syria:
3 Tout moun te kòmanse anrejistre pou resansman an, chak moun nan pwòp vil pa li.
and all were journeying to be enrolled, each one unto 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,
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of a city Nazareth, into Judaea, into 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.
to enrol himself with Mary who was betrothed to him, she 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, while they were there, that the days were fulfilled for her to 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 gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in 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 country, dwelling in the fields, and keeping the watches of 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, a messenger of the Lord, stood over them, and, a glory of the Lord, shone round about them; and they feared, 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 unto them—Be not afraid! For lo! I bring you good tidings of a great joy, the which shall 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.
That there hath been born unto you, this day, a saviour, —Who is Christ the Lord—in the city of David!
12 Epi sa va yon sign pou nou; nou va twouve yon anfan vlope nan twal, e kouche nan yon manjwa.”
And, this, to you is, a sign: Ye shall find a babe, 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 came to be, with the messenger, the throng 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, unto God! And, on earth, peace, among men of goodwill.
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 had departed from them into heaven, that, the shepherds, began to say one to another—Let us go through forthwith as far as to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath 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, with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe 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.
Now, when they beheld, they made known concerning the thing which had been told them as to this child.
18 Tout moun ki te tande sa te etone de bagay ke bèje yo t ap di yo.
And, all who heard, marvelled concerning the things which had been told by the shepherds unto them;
19 Men Marie te kache tout sa pou sonje l, e li te reflechi sou yo nan kè li.
but, Mary, was closely observing, all, these things, putting them together 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, giving glory and singing praise unto God, over all things which they had heard and seen, according as it had been told unto 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 for circumcising him, then was his name called, Jesus, —which it was called by the messenger, 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, when the days of their purification, according to the law of Moses, were fulfilled, they took him up into Jerusalem, to present [him] unto the Lord, —
23 (Jan li ekri nan Lalwa Senyè a: “Tout mal ki premye ouvri vant lan va rele sen a Bondye”),
according as it is written in the law of the Lord—Every male that is a firstborn, Holy unto the Lord, shall be called,
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 which is 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 lo! there was, a man, in Jerusalem, whose name, was Symeon; and, this man, was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and Holy Spirit was upon 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 had been intimated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see 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 came, in the Spirit, into the temple; and, when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do according to that which was customary by the law concerning it,
28 Epi li te ranmase li nan bwa li. Li te beni Bondye, e te di:
even he, welcomed it into his arms, and blessed God, and said—
29 “Koulye a Senyè, W ap kite sèvitè Ou a pati anpè selon pawòl Ou.
Now, dost thou dismiss thy servant, O Sovereign, according to thy declaration—in peace;
30 Paske zye m gen tan wè delivrans Ou,
Because mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 ke ou prepare devan tout nasyon yo;
Which thou hast prepared in face of all the peoples:
32 “yon limyè revelasyon pou payen yo, epi laglwa a pèp Ou a, Israël.”
A light for the unveiling of nations, 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 his father and mother were marvelling over the things which were being 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 Symeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother—Lo! this one, is being set for the falling and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign to be spoken against;
35 Yon nepe va travèse menm nanm pa ou, jiskaske panse a kè anpil moun kapab vin revele.”
And, thou! through thy very soul, shall pass a sword, that, reasonings, may be revealed, out of many hearts.
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 one Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher; —the same, advanced in many 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, had been a widow for as long as eighty-four years, —who left not the temple, with fastings and supplications, rendering divine service 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, in that very hour, coming near, she began to give thanks unto God, and to speak concerning him unto all who were waiting for the redemption of 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 had finished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, into their own 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.
And, the child, went on growing, and waxing strong, becoming filled with wisdom; and, the favour of God, was upon it.
41 Alò paran Li yo te konn ale Jérusalem chak ane nan fèt Pak Jwif la.
And his parents used to journey yearly into Jerusalem, at the feast 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, and they went up, according to the custom 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 completed the days, and then were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, —and his parents noticed it not;
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 him to be in the company, went a day’s journey, and then began to seek for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances,
45 Lè yo pa t twouve Li, yo te retounen Jérusalem pou chache Li.
and, not finding him, returned unto 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, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting amidst the teachers, —both hearkening unto 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.
Now all who heard him were beside themselves, because of his understanding and his 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, when they behold him, they were astounded, and his mother said unto him—Child! why, hast thou dealt with us, thus? Lo! thy father and I, in anguish, were seeking thee.
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 unto them—Why was it that ye were seeking me? Perceived ye not, that, in the courts of my Father, I must needs be?
50 Men yo pa t konprann pawòl ke Li te di yo a.
And, they, understood not the thing which 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.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was submitting himself unto them. And, his mother, was closely observing all these things in her heart.
52 Epi Jésus te kontinye grandi nan sajès, ak wotè, epi nan gras avèk Bondye e avèk lèzòm.
And, Jesus, went on advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favour with God and men.
