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.
When he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and when he had seated himself, his disciples came to him,
2 Li te louvri bouch Li e te kòmanse enstwi yo konsa:
and opening his lips he began to teach 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 the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
4 Beni se sila yo ki soufri doulè akoz gwo pèt; yo va konsole.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 Beni se sila yo ki enb; yo va resevwa tout latè kòm eritaj.
"Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth."
6 Beni se sila yo ki grangou avèk swaf pou ladwati; yo va satisfè.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for the righteousness, for they shall be completely satisfied.
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 those who have been persecuted in the cause 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 revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my name’s 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 exult in it, because your reward was great in the heavens; for so did they persecute the prophets 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 lose its savor, in what way shall it be salted? It is henceforth good for nothing but to be thrown out and trodden under foot of 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 built on a hilltop 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.
"nor do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the lamp-stand, and it gives light 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.
"So let your light shine before men that they may see good you do, and give glory to 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.
"Do not suppose that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I am come 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.
"In solemn truth I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a comma, will pass from the Law until all has taken place.
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.
"So whoever breaks one of these least commandments, and teaches others to break them, will be least in the kingdom of heaven. But he who keeps them and teaches them, he will 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 assure you that unless your righteousness exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not find entrance 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, "Thou shall not commit murder, and "he who commits murder shall be liable to condemnation by the court;
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 that he who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to condemnation by the court; and he who says to his brother’Raca,’ shall be liable to condemnation by the Sanhedrin, while he who curses his brother shall be liable to the Gehenna 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 when you are offering your gift upon the altar, and there remember that your brother has a grievance 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 and make friends with your brother, first of all; 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 terms with your opponent quickly, while you are yet with him on the way to the court, to prevent your opponent from handing you over to the judge, and the judge to the jailer, and so you be thrown into prison.
26 Anverite Mwen di nou, nou p ap soti la jiskaske nou peye dènye santim nan.”
"I tell you truly that you would certainly not get out from there until you had paid back the last cent.
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 to you that whoever looks with lust at a woman 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)
And if your eye, your right eye, entices you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit. (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 entices you into sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit. (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 also said, "Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of separation.
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 tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress, and whoever marries her when so 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 men of old, "You must not forswear yourselves, but must perform your vows to the Lord.
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 the sky, for it is God’s throne;
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.
"Nor must you swear by your head, since you cannot 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 simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from 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, 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 tell you not to retaliate the injury; but whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him also;
40 Si nenpòt moun vle fè pwosè kont nou pou l pran chemiz nou, bay li palto a tou.
"and if any one wants to go to law with you and takes away your coat, let him take your cloak also.
41 Nenpòt moun ki fòse nou pou mache yon kilomèt avèk li, fè de kilomèt.
"Whoever impresses you to go one mile, go two miles with him.
42 Bay a sila ki mande nou an, e pa vire do bay sila ki vle prete nan men nou an.
"Give to him who asks, and from him who wants to borrow from you, do not turn 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, and pray for those who 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.
"So you will become sons of your heavenly Father; for he makes his sun to rise upon sinners as well as saints, and sends rain upon the unjust and the just.
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 only those who love you, what reward have you?
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?
"Even the tax-gatherers do that, do they not? And if you show courtesy to your brother only, what are you doing more than others? Even the Gentiles do that, do they not?
48 Pou sa, nou dwe pafè menm jan ke Papa nou ki nan syèl la pafè.”
"You then must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
