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,
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar—while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was 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.
during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas—the word of God came to John son of Zechariah 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.
He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the 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 is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “A voice of one calling out in the wilderness, 'Make ready 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 roads will be made straight, and the uneven places will be built into roads,
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?
So John said to the crowds who were coming out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers! Who warned you to run away from the wrath that is coming?
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.
Therefore, produce fruits that are worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from 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.”
Even now the ax is set against the root of the trees. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Foul la ki t ap kesyone li, t ap di: “Alò, kisa pou nou ta fè?”
Then the crowds kept asking him, saying, “What then are we to 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.”
He answered and said to them, “If someone has two tunics, he should share it with a person who has none, and the one having food should do the same.”
12 Anplis, ajan kolektè kontribisyon yo te vini pou batize. Yo t ap mande l: “Mèt, kisa nou dwe fè?”
Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
13 Li te di yo: “Pa kolekte plis ke yo mande nou pran.”
He said to them, “Do not collect more money than you have been ordered to collect.”
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.”
Some soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, and do not accuse anyone falsely. 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,
Now as the people were eagerly expecting the Christ to come, everyone was wondering in their hearts concerning John, whether he might 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 by saying to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water, but someone is coming who is more powerful than I, and I am not worthy even to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with 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.”
His winnowing fork is in his hand to thoroughly clear off his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse. But he will burn up the chaff with fire that can never be put out.”
18 Konsa, avèk anpil lòt egzòtasyon tou, Li te preche bòn nouvèl la bay pèp la.
With many other exhortations also, John preached 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,
When Herod the tetrarch had been reproved for marrying his brother's wife Herodias, and for all the other evil things that Herod had done,
20 Hérode te ogmante peche l sou sa yo. Li te vin mete Jean nan prizon.
he added this to them all, that he locked John up in 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,
Now it came about, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while he was praying, the heavens 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 in bodily form came down on him like a dove, and a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with you.”
