Lik 3
1 Alò nan kenzyèm ane pouvwa a Tibère César a, pandan Ponce Pilate te Gouvènè Juda, Hérode te tetrak (wa a zòn sila a), frè l Philippe te tetrak pou Liturée avèk Trachonite, e Lysanias te tetrark nan Abilène,
And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar—Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 nan tan a Anne ak Caïphe kon wo prèt, pawòl Bondye a te vini a Jean, fis Zacharie a, pandan l te nan dezè a.
[and] Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests—there came a word of God to John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
3 Konsa, li te vini nan tout distri ki te antoure Jourdain yo, e li t ap preche yon batèm repantans pou padon peche yo.
and he came to all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
4 Jan sa ekri nan liv pawòl a Ésaïe yo, pwofèt la: “Lavwa a yon moun k ap kriye nan dezè a, ‘Prepare chemen SENYÈ a, Fè wout Li yo dwat,
as it has been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD, Make His paths straight;
5 Chak vale va ranpli, E tout gwo mòn ak ti kolin va vin bese. Kwochi yo a va vin drese, E move wout yo va vin swa.
Every valley will be filled, And every mountain and hill will be made low, And the crooked will become straightness, And the rough become smooth ways;
6 Tout chè va wè delivrans Bondye a.’”
And all flesh will see the salvation of God.”
7 Konsa, li te kòmanse pale avèk foul la ki te sòti avè l pou batèm nan: “Nou menm, nich vipè! Kilès ki te avèti nou sove kite kòlè k ap vini an?
Then he said to the multitudes coming forth to be immersed by him, “Brood of vipers! Who prompted you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Pou sa, pote fwi ki an akò avèk repantans yo, e pa kòmanse di a nou menm: ‘Nou gen Abraham pou papa nou’, paske mwen di nou ke menm nan wòch sa yo, Bondye kapab fè leve pitit a Abraham yo.
Make, therefore, fruits worthy of conversion, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father—Abraham; for I say to you that God is able to raise children to Abraham out of these stones;
9 Anverite, rach la deja poze sou rasin a bwa yo. Konsa, chak bwa ki pa donnen bon fwi va koupe e jete nan dife.”
and also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and it is cast into fire.”
10 Foul la ki t ap kesyone li, t ap di: “Alò, kisa pou nou ta fè?”
And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, “What, then, will we do?”
11 Li te reponn yo, e te di: “Ke moun ki gen de tinik lan pataje avèk sila ki pa genyen an, e ke sila ki gen manje a fè menm jan an.”
And he answering says to them, “He having two coats, let him impart to him having none; and he having food, let him do in like manner.”
12 Anplis, ajan kolektè kontribisyon yo te vini pou batize. Yo t ap mande l: “Mèt, kisa nou dwe fè?”
And there also came tax collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, “Teacher, what will we do?”
13 Li te di yo: “Pa kolekte plis ke yo mande nou pran.”
And he said to them, “Exact no more than that directed you.”
14 Konsa, kèk sòlda t ap mande li: “Epi kisa pou nou menm fè”? Li te di yo: “Pa pran lajan sou okenn moun pa lafòs, ni fè fo akizasyon kont pèsòn. Rete satisfè avèk salè nou.”
And also questioning him were those warring, saying, “And we, what will we do?” And he said to them, “Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.”
15 Alò, pandan pèp la t ap antisipe, e t ap reflechi nan kè yo sou Jean, pou konprann si se Kris la ke li te ye,
And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
16 Jean te reponn. Li te di yo tout: “Kanta mwen menm, mwen ap batize nou avèk dlo. Men gen Youn k ap vini ki pi pwisan pase m; menm lasèt sandal Li, mwen pa dign pou demare. Li va batize nou avèk Lespri Sen an, e avèk dife.
John answered, saying to all, “I indeed immerse you in water, but He comes who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the strap of His sandals—He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire;
17 Laye vannen an deja nan men L, pou netwaye glasi a nèt, e ranmase tout ble antre nan depo Li; men l ap brile pay yo avèk dife ki pa kapab etenn.”
whose winnowing shovel [is] in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His floor, and will gather the wheat into His storehouse, and He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
18 Konsa, avèk anpil lòt egzòtasyon tou, Li te preche bòn nouvèl la bay pèp la.
And therefore, indeed, with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
19 Men lè l te bay Hérode, tetrak la tò akoz Hérodias, madanm a frè l la, e akoz tout mechanste ke Hérode te fè yo,
and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
20 Hérode te ogmante peche l sou sa yo. Li te vin mete Jean nan prizon.
added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
21 Konsa, li te vin rive ke lè tout pèp la t ap batize, Jésus te batize tou. Epi pandan Li t ap priye, syèl la te vin ouvri,
And it came to pass, in all the people being immersed, Jesus also being immersed, and praying, Heaven was opened,
22 e Lespri Sen an te desann sou Li nan fòm tankou yon toutrèl. E yon vwa te sòti nan syèl la: “Ou menm se Fis byeneme Mwen an; nan Ou menm, Mwen byen kontan.”
and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, on Him, and a voice came out of Heaven, saying, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in You I delighted.”
23 Lè L te kòmanse ministè Li, Jésus Li menm te nan laj, anviwon trant ane, e selon kwayans moun yo, fis a Joseph, fis a Héli,
