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.
It happened on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, that the chief priests and scribes came to him 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?”
They asked him, "Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?"
3 Jésus te reponn yo: “Mwen ap poze nou yon kesyon, epi fè M konnen:
He answered them, "I also will ask you one question. 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 man?"
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 reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, '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 man,' 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.
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.”
Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell 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.
He began to tell the people this parable. "A man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to some farmers, and went on a journey 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 the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers 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.
He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him, and treated 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.
He sent yet a third, and they also 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.
The lord of the vineyard said, 'What am I to do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that 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 farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, 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?
They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord 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 destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others." When they heard it, they said, "May it never be."
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 at them, and said, "Then what is this that is written, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the chief 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 that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will crush him."
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.
The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken 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.
They watched him, and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power 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.
They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and are not partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
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 he perceived their craftiness, 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?" They answered, "Caesar's."
25 Li te di yo: “Pou sa, bay a César sa ki pou César, e a Bondye, sa ki pou Bondye.”
He said to them, "Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to 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.
They weren't able 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).
Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a 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.
They asked him, "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up children for 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 brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 Konsa, dezyèm nan,
The second and
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.
the third took her, and likewise the seven all 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.”
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife."
Jesus said to them, "The people of this age marry and are given to someone to marry. (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 regarded as worthy of a place in that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given to someone to marry. (aiōn g165)
36 Ni, yo pa kapab mouri ankò, paske yo tankou zanj, e se fis a Bondye, fis a rezirèksyon an.
For they cannot die any more, for they are like the angels, and are children of God, being children 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 at the bush, when he called 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 are alive to him."
39 Kèk nan skrib yo te reponn e te di: “Mèt, Ou pale byen.”
Some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you speak well."
40 Paskeyo pa t gen kouraj pou poze L kesyon sou anyen ankò.
They did not dare to ask him any more questions.
41 Alò Li te di yo, “Kijan sa fèt ke yo di ke Kris la se Fis a David?
He said to them, "Why do they say 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,
David himself says in the scroll 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 the footstool of your feet."'
44 Konsa, David rele Li Senyè, e kijan se fis Li ke li ye a?’”
"David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?"
45 Pandan tout pèp la t ap koute, Li te di a disip yo:
In the hearing of all the people, he 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, who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best 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 pretense make long prayers: these will receive greater condemnation."
