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.
One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.
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?”
“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”
3 Jésus te reponn yo: “Mwen ap poze nou yon kesyon, epi fè M konnen:
“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:
4 Èske batèm a Jean an te sòti nan syèl la, oswa nan lòm?”
John’s baptism—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?
They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you 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 say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
7 Konsa, yo te reponn ke yo pa t konnen kote sa sòti.
So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
8 Jésus te reponn yo: “Ni Mwen p ap di nou pa ki otorite ke M fè bagay sa yo.”
And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing 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.
Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away 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.
At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.
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.
So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
12 Konsa, li te eseye voye yon twazyèm. Sila a osi yo te blese e te mete l deyò.
Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
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.
‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect 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 tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will 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?
So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to 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 kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”
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 Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
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.”
Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
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.
When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.
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.
So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and 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.
“Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
22 Èske Li pèmi pou nou peye taks a César, oubyen non?”
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23 Men Li te konprann koken yo. Li te reponn yo:
But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to 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 inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
25 Li te di yo: “Pou sa, bay a César sa ki pou César, e a Bondye, sa ki pou Bondye.”
So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is 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 unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
27 Alò kèk nan Sadiseyen yo te vin kote L, (sa yo ki di ke pa gen rezirèksyon).
Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
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.
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.
29 Alò, konsa, te gen sèt frè. Premye a te pran yon madanm, e li te mouri san pitit.
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless.
30 Konsa, dezyèm nan,
Then 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 married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
32 Finalman, fanm nan te mouri tou.
And last of all, the woman died.
33 Konsa, nan rezirèksyon an, se madanm a kilès l ap ye? Paske toule sèt moun yo te genyen li kòm madanm.”
So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
Jesus answered, “The sons of this age 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 those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be 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.
In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
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
Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 viv de Li yo.”
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”
39 Kèk nan skrib yo te reponn e te di: “Mèt, Ou pale byen.”
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”
40 Paskeyo pa t gen kouraj pou poze L kesyon sou anyen ankò.
And they did not dare to question Him any further.
41 Alò Li te di yo, “Kijan sa fèt ke yo di ke Kris la se Fis a David?
Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
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 says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
43 Jiskaske M fè lènmi ou yo yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.”
until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
44 Konsa, David rele Li Senyè, e kijan se fis Li ke li ye a?’”
Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
45 Pandan tout pèp la t ap koute, Li te di a disip yo:
In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to 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. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.
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.”
They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
