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 having sat down, His disciples came to Him.
2 Li te louvri bouch Li e te kòmanse enstwi yo konsa:
And having opened His mouth He 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: because the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.
4 Beni se sila yo ki soufri doulè akoz gwo pèt; yo va konsole.
Blessed are the meek, because they shall inherit the earth.
5 Beni se sila yo ki enb; yo va resevwa tout latè kòm eritaj.
Blessed are they that mourn: because they shall be comforted.
6 Beni se sila yo ki grangou avèk swaf pou ladwati; yo va satisfè.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: because they shall be filled.
7 Beni se sila yo ki bay mizerikòd; yo va resevwa mizerikòd.
Blessed are the merciful: because they shall receive mercy.
8 Beni se sila yo ki gen kè pwòp nèt; yo va wè Bondye.
Blessed are the pure in heart: because they shall see God.
9 Beni se sila yo ki fè lapè; yo va rele yo fis Bondye.
Blessed are the peacemakers: because they shall be called the sons of God.
10 Beni se sila yo ki te pèsekite pou ladwati; wayòm syèl la se pou yo.
Blessed are they, who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.
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 they may despise you, and shall persecute you, and may say all evil against you, falsifying, 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 he exceedingly glad: because your reward is great in the heavens: for in this manner they persecuted 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.
Ye are the salt of the earth; and if the salt may lose its savor, in what shall it be salted? It is yet without value, except having been cast out, to be trodden under feet by the people.
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 sitting on a mountain is unable to be hidden.
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 they light a candle, and place it under a bushel, but on the candlestick; and it shineth to all who 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.
Let your light so shine before the people, in order that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
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 of the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfill.
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 truly I say unto you, Until heaven and earth may pass away, one jot or tittle can not pass from the law, until all things may 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.
Therefore if any one may break one of the least of these commandments, and so teach the people, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of the heavens: but whosoever may do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
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 if your righteousness may not abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you can not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
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, Thou shalt not murder; and whosoever may murder 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 being angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever may say to his brother, Thou scoundrel, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever may say, Thou fool, shall be liable unto a 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,
Therefore if you may bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something 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 there your gift before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, then having come 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.
Be reconciled with your adversary quickly, while you are in the way with him; lest the adversary may deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you may be cast into prison.
26 Anverite Mwen di nou, nou p ap soti la jiskaske nou peye dènye santim nan.”
Truly I say unto you, You can not go out from thence until 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, 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 looking on a woman in order to lust after her hath 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)
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not that thy whole body may go away 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.’
And it was said, Whosoever may send away his wife, let him give her a 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 sending away his wife, except on account of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever may marry her who has been cast off 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, Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shall 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 heaven, because 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, because it is the footstool of His feet; neither by Jerusalem, because 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 swear by thy head, because thou art unable to 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; but that which aboundeth 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 unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smites 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.
to him wishing to prosecute thee at law, and take away thy coat, let him have the cloak also.
41 Nenpòt moun ki fòse nou pou mache yon kilomèt avèk li, fè de kilomèt.
Whosoever shall compel thee to go a 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 the one asking thee, and do not turn away from the one wishing to borrow from thee.
43 “Nou konn tande ke yo di: ‘Renmen vwazen nou, e rayi lènmi nou.’
You 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 with a divine love, bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use 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.
in order that you may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because He raises up His sun on the wicked and on the good, and rains on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
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 that love you, what reward have ye? because the publicans also do 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?
If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing?
48 Pou sa, nou dwe pafè menm jan ke Papa nou ki nan syèl la pafè.”
Therefore ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
