Lik 20
1 Nan youn nan jou ke Li t ap enstwi pèp la nan tanp lan, e preche bòn nouvèl la, chèf prèt yo avèk skrib yo avèk ansyen yo te vin parèt devan Li.
And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;
2 Yo te mande Li: “Fè nou konnen pa ki otorite Ou fè bagay sa yo, oswa se kilès ki te bay Ou otorite sa a?”
and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 Jésus te reponn yo: “Mwen ap poze nou yon kesyon, epi fè M konnen:
And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:
4 Èske batèm a Jean an te sòti nan syèl la, oswa nan lòm?”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
5 Yo te rezone pami yo, e te di: “Si nou di ‘Nan syèl la’, l ap di: “Ebyen, poukisa nou pa t kwè li?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
6 Men si nou di: ‘Nan lòm’, tout pèp la va lapide nou avèk wòch jiskaske nou mouri, paske yo konvenk ke Jean te yon pwofèt.”
But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Konsa, yo te reponn ke yo pa t konnen kote sa sòti.
And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was].
8 Jésus te reponn yo: “Ni Mwen p ap di nou pa ki otorite ke M fè bagay sa yo.”
And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
9 Li te kòmanse di pèp la parabòl sila a: Yon mesye te plante yon chan rezen. Li te lwe li a kiltivatè yo, e li te ale nan yon vwayaj ki te dire anpil.
And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time.
10 Nan tan rekòlt la, li te voye yon esklav kote kiltivatè yo pou yo ta kapab bay li kèk nan rekòlt chan an. Men ouvriye ki okipe lyàn rezen yo te bat li, e te voye li ale men vid.
And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
11 Alò, li te eseye voye yon lòt esklav. Yo te bat li tou, e te maltrete l jiskaske se te yon eskandal. Konsa, yo te voye li ale men vid.
And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Konsa, li te eseye voye yon twazyèm. Sila a osi yo te blese e te mete l deyò.
And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.
13 Mèt chan an te di: “Kisa pou m ta fè la a? M ap voye fis byeneme mwen an. Petèt yo va respekte li.
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him.
14 Men lè ouvriye ki te okipe lyàn rezen yo te wè li, yo te rezone youn avèk lòt konsa: ‘Sa se eritye a. Annou touye li pou eritaj la kapab pou nou.’
But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 Donk yo te jete li deyò chan rezen an, e te touye li. Pou sa, kisa mèt chan rezen an ap fè yo?
And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16 Li va vin detwi ouvriye chan sa yo, e li va bay chan rezen an a lòt.” Lè yo te tande li, yo te di: “Pa janm kite sa fèt!”
He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
17 Alò, Li te gade yo, e te di: “Ebyen sou kilès sa ekri: ‘Wòch ke sila ki t ap bati yo te rejte a; sila a te devni lang prensipal la.’?
But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner?
18 Tout moun ki tonbe sou wòch sa a, va kraze an mòso; men sou nenpòt moun ke li menm tonbe, l ap gaye li tankou pousyè.”
Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
19 Skrib yo avèk chèf prèt yo te eseye mete men sou Li, nan menm lè sa a, men yo te pè pèp la. Paske yo te byen konprann ke Li te pale parabòl sa a kont yo menm.
And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake this parable against them.
20 Donk yo te veye li, e te voye espyon ki te pretann ke se te moun jis yo te ye, pou yo ta kapab kenbe Li nan yon pawòl, pou yo ta kab livre Li devan lalwa a ak otorite gouvènè a.
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
21 Yo te poze Li kesyon. Yo te mande l: “Mèt, nou konnen ke Ou pale e enstwi byen dwat, ke Ou pa nan patipri a pèsòn, men enstwi chemen Bondye a ak verite.
And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person [of any], but of a truth teachest the way of God:
22 Èske Li pèmi pou nou peye taks a César, oubyen non?”
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?
23 Men Li te konprann koken yo. Li te reponn yo:
But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,
24 “Montre M yon kòb denye. Se pòtre avèk enskripsyon a kilès moun li genyen?” Yo te di: “César”.
Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Cæsar’s.
25 Li te di yo: “Pou sa, bay a César sa ki pou César, e a Bondye, sa ki pou Bondye.”
And he said unto them, Then render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.
26 Yo pa t kapab kenbe L nan yon pawòl nan prezans a pèp la; e byen etone pa repons Li, yo te vin rete an silans.
And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Alò kèk nan Sadiseyen yo te vin kote L, (sa yo ki di ke pa gen rezirèksyon).
And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection;
28 Yo te kesyone L, konsa: “Mèt, Moïse te ekri pou nou ke si frè a yon mesye mouri avèk yon madanm, san li pa fè pitit, frè li a ta dwe pran madanm li, e fè reyisi yon posterite pou frè li a.
and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man’s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 Alò, konsa, te gen sèt frè. Premye a te pran yon madanm, e li te mouri san pitit.
There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;
30 Konsa, dezyèm nan,
and the second:
31 epi twazyèm nan te pran l. Epi menm jan an, tout nan sèt yo te pran l, e tout te mouri san kite pitit.
and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.
32 Finalman, fanm nan te mouri tou.
Afterward the woman also died.
33 Konsa, nan rezirèksyon an, se madanm a kilès l ap ye? Paske toule sèt moun yo te genyen li kòm madanm.”
In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.
And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
35 Men sila yo ki konsidere dign pou rive nan laj sila a, e rezirèksyon a mò yo, pa marye, ni yo pa bay moun nan maryaj. (aiōn g165)
but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
36 Ni, yo pa kapab mouri ankò, paske yo tankou zanj, e se fis a Bondye, fis a rezirèksyon an.
for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 Men ke mò yo leve, te montre menm pa Moïse nan pasaj sou touf bwa ki t ap boule a, kote li rele Senyè a Bondye Abraham nan, Bondye Isaac la ak Bondye a Jacob la. Alò, Li pa Bondye a mò yo, men Bondye a vivan an, pou tout sila ki
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in [the place concerning] the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 viv de Li yo.”
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
39 Kèk nan skrib yo te reponn e te di: “Mèt, Ou pale byen.”
And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well said.
40 Paskeyo pa t gen kouraj pou poze L kesyon sou anyen ankò.
For they durst not any more ask him any question.
41 Alò Li te di yo, “Kijan sa fèt ke yo di ke Kris la se Fis a David?
And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David’s son?
42 Paske David, li menm di nan liv Sòm Yo: ‘Senyè a te di a Senyè mwen an, chita bò dwat Mwen,
For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Jiskaske M fè lènmi ou yo yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.”
Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
44 Konsa, David rele Li Senyè, e kijan se fis Li ke li ye a?’”
David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 Pandan tout pèp la t ap koute, Li te di a disip yo:
And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples,
46 “Fè atansyon de skrib yo ki renmen mache toupatou ak gwo abiman long, e ki renmen salitasyon respè nan mache yo, ak chèz pi enpòtan nan sinagòg yo, ak plas a lonè nan bankè yo;
Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;
47 ki devore kay a vèv yo, e pou yo ka pran pòz, yo ofri gwo priyè long yo. Sila yo va resevwa pi gwo kondanasyon.”
who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.
