Matye 5
1 Lè Jésus te wè foul la, Li te monte sou mòn nan. Lè Li fin chita, disip Li yo te vin kote L.
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him:
2 Li te louvri bouch Li e te kòmanse enstwi yo konsa:
and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 “Beni se sila yo ki malere an espri; paske wayòm syèl la se pou yo.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Beni se sila yo ki soufri doulè akoz gwo pèt; yo va konsole.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Beni se sila yo ki enb; yo va resevwa tout latè kòm eritaj.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Beni se sila yo ki grangou avèk swaf pou ladwati; yo va satisfè.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Beni se sila yo ki bay mizerikòd; yo va resevwa mizerikòd.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Beni se sila yo ki gen kè pwòp nèt; yo va wè Bondye.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Beni se sila yo ki fè lapè; yo va rele yo fis Bondye.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.
10 Beni se sila yo ki te pèsekite pou ladwati; wayòm syèl la se pou yo.
Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Beni se nou menm lè moun ensilte nou, pèsekite nou e pale san verite tout kalite mal kont nou pou koz a Non Mwen.
Blessed are ye when [men] shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejwi e fè kè nou kontan. Rekonpans nou nan syèl la gran; paske se konsa yo te pèsekite pwofèt ki te avan nou yo.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.
13 “Nou se sèl latè; men si sèl la pèdi gou li, kijan pou l fè l rekouvri gou sèl ankò? Li p ap bon ankò sof pou voye jete e pile anba pye moun.
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.
14 “Nou se limyè lemonn; yon vil ki plase sou tèt yon mòn pa kapab kache.
Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.
15 Ni moun p ap limen yon lanp pou mete li anba yon panyen; men sou yon tab kote li va bay limyè pou tout sila yo ki nan kay la.
Neither do [men] light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house.
16 Kite limyè nou an klere devan tout moun pou yo kapab wè bon zèv nou, e bay glwa a Papa nou ki nan syèl la.
Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 “Pa panse ke Mwen te vini pou aboli Lalwa ak pwofèt yo. Mwen pa te vini pou aboli, men pou akonpli.
Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 Paske vrèman Mwen di nou jiskaske syèl la avèk tè a disparèt, ni yon ti lèt, ni yon ti mak p ap disparèt nan Lalwa a, jiskaske tout bagay fin acheve.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.
19 Pou sa, nenpòt moun ki anile menm youn ki pi piti nan kòmandman sa yo, e bay enstriksyon a lòt pou fè sa, l ap rele pi piti nan wayòm syèl la. Men sila ki kenbe yo e enstwi lòt pou fè yo tou, li va rele pi gran nan wayòm syèl la.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Paske m ap di nou ke si ladwati nou pa depase sila a skrib avèk Farizyen yo, nou p ap janm antre nan wayòm syèl la.
For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Nou konn tande ke tout ansyen yo te di: ‘Nou pa pou touye moun’ e ‘Nenpòt moun ki touye moun ap rann kont devan tribinal’.
Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 Men Mwen di nou ke nenpòt moun ki fache avèk frè li, ap koupab devan tribinal. Epi nenpòt moun ki di: ‘Raka’ (pou ryen) ap koupab devan tribinal pi wo a, epi sila ki di: ‘enbesil’ ap koupab pou l antre nan lanfè. (Geenna g1067)
but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Pou sa, lè ou ap prezante ofrann ou sou lotèl la, e pandan ou la, ou sonje ke frè ou a gen yon bagay kont ou,
If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee,
24 kite ofrann ou an la devan lotèl a e ale fè wout ou. Premyeman, rekonsilye avèk frè ou, e apre vin prezante ofrann ou an.
leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 “Fè zanmi depi nan wout avèk lènmi k ap mennen ou tribinal la, pou li pa livre ou devan jij la, e jij la va livre ou bay otorite pou jete ou nan prizon.
Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Anverite Mwen di nou, nou p ap soti la jiskaske nou peye dènye santim nan.”
Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing.
27 “Nou konn tande ke yo te di: ‘Nou pa pou fè adiltè’;
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 men Mwen di nou ke nenpòt moun ki gade yon fanm avèk lanvi pou li, gen tan fè adiltè avèk li deja nan kè l.
but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 “Konsa, si zye dwat ou fè ou tonbe, rache li e jete li lwen ou. Paske li pi bon pou pèdi yon manm nan kò ou, pase pou kite tout kò ou jete nan lanfè. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Si men dwat ou fè ou tonbe, koupe li e jete li lwen ou. Paske li pi bon pou yon pati nan kò ou ta pèdi olye pou tout kò ou ta ale nan lanfè.” (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Epi yo te konn di: ‘Nenpòt moun ki voye madanm li ale; kite li bay li yon sètifika divòs pou voye l ale.’
It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 Men Mwen di nou ke nenpòt moun ki voye madanm li ale, sof pou enfidelite, fè l komèt adiltè, e nenpòt moun ki marye avèk yon fanm divòse fè adiltè.
but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery.
33 “Ankò, nou konn tande yo te di a lansyen yo: ‘Nou pa pou fè fo sèman, men nou gen pou akonpli tout sa ke nou sèmante a Bondye’.
Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 Men Mwen di nou: Pa sèmante menm, ni pa syèl la, paske se twòn Bondye li ye;
but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 ni pa tè a, paske se kote Li mete pye Li, ni pa Jérusalem, paske se Gran Vil a Gran Wa a.
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 Ni nou pa pou sèmante sou tèt nou paske nou pa kapab fè menm yon grenn cheve vin blan, ni nwa.
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 Men kite pawòl nou sèlman ‘wi’ pou ‘wi’ e ‘non’ pou ‘non’. Nenpòt bagay ki depase sa yo soti nan mèt mechanste a.
But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil [one].
38 “Nou konn tande ke yo konn di: ‘Zye pou zye e dan pou dan’;
Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 men Mwen di nou: Pa reziste a sila ki mechan an, men si nenpòt moun frape nou bò figi dwat nou, vire bay li lòt la tou.
but I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Si nenpòt moun vle fè pwosè kont nou pou l pran chemiz nou, bay li palto a tou.
And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 Nenpòt moun ki fòse nou pou mache yon kilomèt avèk li, fè de kilomèt.
And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Bay a sila ki mande nou an, e pa vire do bay sila ki vle prete nan men nou an.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 “Nou konn tande ke yo di: ‘Renmen vwazen nou, e rayi lènmi nou.’
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy:
44 Men Mwen di nou: Renmen lènmi nou yo e priye pou sila ki pèsekite nou yo,
but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;
45 pou nou kapab fis a Papa nou ki nan syèl la. Paske Li fè solèy Li leve sou mechan yo, ak bon yo, e voye lapli sou sila ki dwat yo, ak sila ki pa dwat yo.
that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.
46 “Paske si nou renmen sila ki renmen nou yo, ki rekonpans nou ka resevwa? Èske kolektè kontribisyon yo pa fè menm bagay la tou?
For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 Epi si nou salye frè nou yo sèlman, kisa nou fè plis ke lòt moun yo? Èske payen yo pa fè menm bagay la tou?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the Gentiles the same?
48 Pou sa, nou dwe pafè menm jan ke Papa nou ki nan syèl la pafè.”
Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
