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 to 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 for 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 receive 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 are persecuted on account of righteousness; 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 you, when they shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, on my account.
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 leap for joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so did they persecute the prophets who 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.
You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has become tasteless, by what means shall it become salt again? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trod upon by men.
14 “Nou se limyè lemonn; yon vil ki plase sou tèt yon mòn pa kapab kache.
You are the light of the world: a city that lies upon a mountain can not 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 place it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it gives light to 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.
In this way 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 have come to make the law or the prophets of no effect. I have not come to make them of no effect, but to give them their full efficiency.
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 to you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one yod or one point shall in no way pass from the law till all be fulfilled.
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.
Whoever, therefore, shall make void one of the least of these commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever shall do and teach, 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 to you, That, unless your righteousness excel that of the scribes and Pharisees, you can by no means 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’.
You have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges.
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 to you, Whoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges. And whoever shall say to his brother, Worthless fellow, shall be liable to the sentence of the Sanhedrin. But who ever shall say, Impious wretch, shall be in danger of hell-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, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has any thing against you,
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 your gift there before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your 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.
Come to an agreement with your opponent at law quickly, while you are on the road with him, lest your opponent at law deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
26 Anverite Mwen di nou, nou p ap soti la jiskaske nou peye dènye santim nan.”
Verily, I say to you, You shall by no means come out thence, till you have paid the last farthing.
27 “Nou konn tande ke yo te di: ‘Nou pa pou fè adiltè’;
You have heard that it was said: You shall 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 to you, Whoever looks upon a woman to cherish desire for her, has already committed adultery with her 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)
If, then, your right eye ensnare you, tear it out, and throw it from you; for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown 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 your right hand ensnare you, cut it off, and throw it from you; for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown 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 has been said: Whoever will put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.
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 to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, unless on account of lewdness, causes her to commit adultery: and whoever marries her that is divorced, commits 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, you have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not swear falsely, but shall pay to the Lord your vows.
34 Men Mwen di nou: Pa sèmante menm, ni pa syèl la, paske se twòn Bondye li ye;
But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by 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 his footstool; 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 shall you swear by your head, for you can 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 word be, Yes, yes; No, no; for whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.
38 “Nou konn tande ke yo konn di: ‘Zye pou zye e dan pou dan’;
You 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 to you, Resist not the injurious. But whoever will smite you on your 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 to him that will go to law with you, and take away your coat, give your mantle also.
41 Nenpòt moun ki fòse nou pou mache yon kilomèt avèk li, fè de kilomèt.
And whoever will compel you 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 asks of you; and from him that would borrow of you, turn not away.
43 “Nou konn tande ke yo di: ‘Renmen vwazen nou, e rayi lènmi nou.’
You have heard that it was said: You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.
44 Men Mwen di nou: Renmen lènmi nou yo e priye pou sila ki pèsekite nou yo,
But I say to you, Love your enemies: bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who insult you and 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 you may be the sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun to rise upon the evil and the good, and causes it to rain on the just and on 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 you love those who love you, what reward have you? 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 you salute your brethren only, in what do you excel? Do not even the publicans so?
48 Pou sa, nou dwe pafè menm jan ke Papa nou ki nan syèl la pafè.”
Be you therefore perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
