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 Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the mountain. And when he sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 Li te louvri bouch Li e te kòmanse enstwi yo konsa:
Then 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 those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Beni se sila yo ki enb; yo va resevwa tout latè kòm eritaj.
Blessed are the meek, for they will 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 righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Beni se sila yo ki bay mizerikòd; yo va resevwa mizerikòd.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
8 Beni se sila yo ki gen kè pwòp nèt; yo va wè Bondye.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Beni se sila yo ki fè lapè; yo va rele yo fis Bondye.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will 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 are 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 you when others reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil 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 be glad, for great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way 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.
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt loses its flavor, with what shall it be seasoned? It is no longer fit for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
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 set on a hill cannot 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.
nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines for 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 shine before others in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father 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 think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
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 to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter or stroke of a letter will by any means pass from the law until all is 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 whoever does away with one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices them and teaches them 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 tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will certainly not enter 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 those of old, ‘Yoʋ shall not murder,’ and, ‘Whoever murders will be subject 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 everyone who is rashly angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Yoʋ idiot,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. And whoever says, ‘Yoʋ fool,’ will be subject to the fires of hell. (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,
So if yoʋ are offering yoʋr gift at the altar and there remember that yoʋr brother has something against yoʋ,
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 yoʋr gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to yoʋr brother, and then come and offer yoʋr 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.
Make friends with yoʋr adversary quickly while yoʋ are on the way with him, lest yoʋr adversary hand yoʋ over to the judge, and the judge hand yoʋ over to the guard, and yoʋ be thrown into prison.
26 Anverite Mwen di nou, nou p ap soti la jiskaske nou peye dènye santim nan.”
Truly I say to yoʋ, yoʋ will certainly not come out of there until yoʋ have paid the last penny.
27 “Nou konn tande ke yo te di: ‘Nou pa pou fè adiltè’;
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Yoʋ 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 that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after 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)
So if yoʋr right eye causes yoʋ to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from yoʋ. For it is better for yoʋ to have one of yoʋr members perish, than for yoʋr whole body to 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 yoʋr right hand causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from yoʋ. For it is better for yoʋ to have one of yoʋr members perish, than for yoʋr whole body to 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 was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate 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 that whoever divorces his wife, apart from a matter of fornication, makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman 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 those of old, ‘Yoʋ shall not break an oath, but shall keep yoʋr 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, do not swear 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 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 shall yoʋ swear by yoʋr head, for yoʋ 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 ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No’; for whatever is more than these is 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 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, do not resist one who is evil. Rather, if anyone slaps yoʋ on the 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.
If anyone wants to sue yoʋ and take away yoʋr tunic, let him have yoʋr cloak also.
41 Nenpòt moun ki fòse nou pou mache yon kilomèt avèk li, fè de kilomèt.
And if anyone presses yoʋ into service for 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 everyone who asks of yoʋ, and do not turn away from anyone who wants to borrow from yoʋ.
43 “Nou konn tande ke yo di: ‘Renmen vwazen nou, e rayi lènmi nou.’
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor and hate yoʋr 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 mistreat 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.
so that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and 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 who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors 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?
And if you greet only your friends, what are you doing that is out of the ordinary? Do not even the tax collectors do that?
48 Pou sa, nou dwe pafè menm jan ke Papa nou ki nan syèl la pafè.”
You therefore shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
