Matye 7
1 “Pa jije pou nou menm pa vin jije.
"Do not judge, so that you won't be judged.
2 Paske menm jan ke nou jije a, nou menm tou, nou va vin jije; pa menm mezi ke nou sèvi a, yo va mezire bay nou.
For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
3 E poukisa nou gade ti kras poud ki nan zye frè nou an, men nou pa wè gwo bout bwa ki nan zye pa nou an?
And why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
4 O kijan nou kapab di frè nou an: ‘Kite m retire ti kras sa a ki nan zye ou a’, epi gade, gwo bout bwa nan zye w?
Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye;' and look, the log is in your own eye?
5 Ipokrit! Premyeman, retire gwo bout bwa nan zye ou a, e konsa w ap kapab wè byen klè pou retire ti kras ki nan zye frè ou a.
You hypocrite. First remove the log out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.
6 “Pa bay sa ki sen a chen yo; ni pa jete pèl nou yo devan kochon yo, sinon yo va foule yo anba pye epi vire pou chire nou an mòso.
"Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, or they will trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces.
7 “Mande, e nou va resevwa. Chache, e nou va twouve. Frape nan pòt la, e l ap louvri.
"Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
8 Paske tout moun ki mande ap resevwa. E sila ki chèche yo va twouve. E a sila ki frape yo, pòt la va louvri.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
9 O ki moun pami nou lè Pitit li mande yon moso pen, l ap bay li yon wòch?
Or who is there among you, who, if his son will ask him for bread, will give him a stone?
10 O si li mande yon pwason, èske l ap bay li yon koulèv?
Or if he will ask for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
11 Si nou menm ki mechan, konnen kijan pou bay bon kado a pitit nou yo, konbyen anplis, Papa nou ki nan syèl la ap bay sa ki bon a sila ki mande Li yo.
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him.
12 Pou sa, menm jan ke nou vle moun aji avèk nou, fè yo menm bagay la, paske sa se Lalwa, ak Pwofèt yo.
Therefore whatever you desire for people to do to you, so also you should do to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets.
13 “Antre pa pòt etwat la; paske pòt laj la, e chemen byen gwo ki mennen nan destriksyon an. Gen anpil moun k ap antre pa li menm.
"Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.
14 Paske pòt etwat la, e chemen piti ki mennen a lavi a. Ni pa gen anpil moun k ap twouve l.
How narrow is the gate, and difficult is the way that leads to life. Few are those who find it.
15 “Veye nou ak fo pwofèt yo, ki vin kote nou ak vètman brebi; men anndan se lou visye yo ye.
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
16 Nou ap konnen yo pa fwi yo. Rezen pa janm soti nan raje pikan, ni fig frans nan move zèb.
By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 Menm jan an, chak bon ab ap bay bon fwi, men yon move ab ap bay move fwi.
Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
18 Yon bon ab p ap kapab bay move fwi, ni yon move ab p ap pwodwi bon fwi.
A good tree cannot produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
19 Chak ab ki pa bay bon fwi ap koupe jete nan lanfè. (questioned)
Every tree that does not grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
20 Konsa, nou ap konnen yo pa fwi yo.
Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
21 “Se pa tout moun ki rele ‘Senyè, Senyè’ k ap antre nan wayòm syèl la, men sila yo ki fè volonte a Papa M ki nan syèl la.
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Anpil ap di Mwen nan jou sa: ‘Senyè, Senyè, èske nou pa t pwofetize nan non Ou? Èske nan non Ou, nou pa t chase move lespri yo e nan non Ou, nou pa t fè anpil mirak?’
Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did not we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'
23 Konsa, nan moman sa a, M ap deklare: ‘Mwen pa t janm konnen nou. Kite Mwen, nou tout ki pratike lenjistis.’
And then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.'
24 “Pou sa, tout moun ki tande pawòl sa yo ke Mwen bay yo, e ki aji sou yo, y ap tankou yon nonm saj ki bati kay li sou wòch.
"Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, will be compared to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.
25 Lapli te tonbe, inondasyon te vini, van te soufle e te frape kont kay la, men li pa t tonbe paske fondasyon li te sou wòch.
And the rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 Tout moun ki tande pawòl sa yo ke Mwen pale yo, e ki pa aji sou yo, y ap tankou yon moun sòt. Li te bati kay li sou sab.
And everyone who hears these words of mine, and does not do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.
27 Lapli te tonbe, inondasyon te vini, van te soufle e te frape kont kay la. Li te tonbe, e tonbe sa a te byen gwo.”
And the rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell—and great was its fall."
28 Lè Jésus te fin pale mo sa yo, foul la te byen etone pou jan Li te enstwi yo a.
And it happened, when Yeshua had finished saying these things, that the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
29 Paske Li te enstwi yo tankou yon moun avèk otorite, e pa tankou skrib yo.
for he taught them with authority, and not like their scribes.
