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 when Jesus saw the multitudes, he ascended a hill; and when he was seated, his disciples drew near him:
2 Li te louvri bouch Li e te kòmanse enstwi yo konsa:
and he opened his mouth, and taught them, and said:
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 the mourners: 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 satiated!
7 Beni se sila yo ki bay mizerikòd; yo va resevwa mizerikòd.
Blessed are the merciful: for on them shall be mercies!
8 Beni se sila yo ki gen kè pwòp nèt; yo va wè Bondye.
Blessed are the clean in heart: for they shall behold God!
9 Beni se sila yo ki fè lapè; yo va rele yo fis Bondye.
Blessed are the cultivators of peace: 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 the kingdom of heaven 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 revile you and persecute you, and speak 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.
At that time, rejoice and be glad: for your reward in heaven is great. For so they persecuted 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 become insipid, with what shall it be seasoned? It is fit for nothing; but to be thrown out, and be trodden under foot by 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 built upon a hill, not be concealed.
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.
And they do not light a lamp and place it under a bushel; but upon a lightstand, and it giveth 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.
Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may 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.
Do not suppose that I have come to subvert the law or the prophets: I have come not to subvert, 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 verily I say to you, that until heaven and earth shall pass away, one iota or one letter shall not pass from the law, until all shall 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.
Therefore whoever shall break one of these small commands and shall so inculcate on the children of men, shall be called little in the kingdom of heaven: but every one that shall do and teach them, 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 shall abound more than that of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall not 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 the ancients, Thou shalt not kill: and every one that killeth, is obnoxious to 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 to you, That every one who is angry with his brother rashly, is obnoxious to judgment: and every one that saith to his brother, Raka! is obnoxious to the council: and every one that shall say, Fool is obnoxious to 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 thou shalt bring thy oblation to the altar, and shalt there remember that thy brother hath any offence 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 oblation before the altar, and go first and be reconciled with thy brother; and then come and present thy oblation.
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 at agreement with thy prosecutor, forthwith, and while on the way with him; lest the prosecutor deliver thee up to the judge, and the Judge deliver thee over to the sheriff, and thou fall into the house of prisoners.
26 Anverite Mwen di nou, nou p ap soti la jiskaske nou peye dènye santim nan.”
Verily I say to thee, Thou wilt not come out from there until thou hast paid the last farthing.
27 “Nou konn tande ke yo te di: ‘Nou pa pou fè adiltè’;
Ye have heard that it hath been 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 gazeth on a woman with concupiscence, at once committeth 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 therefore thy right eye make thee offend, pluck it out, and cast it from thee; because it is better for thee that thy one member perish, than that thy whole body fall 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 make thee offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee; because it is better for thee that one of thy members perish, than that thy whole body fall 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 hath been said, That if a man will put away his wife, he must 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 to you, That whoever putteth away his wife, except for the offence of whoredom, causeth her to commit adultery: and he that taketh the divorced woman, 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 hath been said to the ancients, Thou shalt not be false in thy oaths; but thou shalt perform thine oaths 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: not 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.
and not by the earth, for it is the footstool under his feet: and likewise not 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.
Moreover, thou shalt not swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair in it either black or white.
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 language be, Yes, yes; or No, no; for whatever is beyond these proceedeth from evil.
38 “Nou konn tande ke yo konn di: ‘Zye pou zye e dan pou dan’;
Ye have heard that it hath been 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 evil; but if a person smite 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 one is disposed to sue thee and get away thy coat, relinquish to him also thy cloak.
41 Nenpòt moun ki fòse nou pou mache yon kilomèt avèk li, fè de kilomèt.
Whoever compelleth 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.
Whoever demandeth of thee, give to him: and whoever wisheth to borrow of thee, deny him not.
43 “Nou konn tande ke yo di: ‘Renmen vwazen nou, e rayi lènmi nou.’
Ye have heard that it hath been said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy 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 bless him that curseth you; and do good to him that hateth you; and pray for them that lead you in bonds, and 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 the children of your Father that is in heaven, who causeth his sun to rise upon the good and upon the bad, and sendeth his rain upon the righteous and upon 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 ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans do this?
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 that is not common? Do not even publicans do this?
48 Pou sa, nou dwe pafè menm jan ke Papa nou ki nan syèl la pafè.”
Be ye therefore perfect; even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
