Luke 7
1 After Jesus finished saying this to the people, he went [with his disciples] to Capernaum [town].
Lè Jezi fin pale tout pawòl sa yo ak pèp la, li ale lavil Kapènawòm.
2 There was a Roman army officer there who had a slave whom he thought highly of. This slave was so sick that he was about to die.
Nan lavil sa a, yon kaptenn lame a te gen yon domestik li te renmen anpil. Domestik sa a te twouve l' malad prèt pou mouri.
3 When the officer heard about Jesus, he [summoned] some Jewish elders. He told them to go to Jesus and ask him to come and heal his slave.
Kaptenn lan tande pale sou Jezi; se konsa li voye kèk chèf fanmi nan jwif yo al mande Jezi pou l' vin geri domestik li a.
4 When they came to where Jesus was, they earnestly asked Jesus [to return with them]. They said, “This officer deserves that you [(sg)] do this [for him],
Yo rive bò kot Jezi, yo di li: Tanpri, fè sa pou li, li merite li. Paske li renmen pèp nou an.
5 because he loves us [Jewish] people, and he [paid the money to] build a synagogue for us.”
Se li ki te bati sinagòg la pou nou.
6 So Jesus went with them. When he was near the [officer’s] house, the officer [decided that it was not necessary for Jesus to come to his house. So he] summoned some friends. He [told them to] go to Jesus and tell him this: “Lord/Sir, do not bother to come. [Because I am a non-Jew], I am not worthy for you [(sg)], [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me].
Jezi ale avè yo. Li te rive toupre kay la lè kaptenn lan voye kèk zanmi di l' konsa: Mèt, pa bay kò ou tout traka sa a. Mwen pa merite pou ou antre lakay mwen.
7 I did not feel worthy to come to you, [either]. But [please] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will become well!
Se poutèt sa mwen pa t' kwè m' ase bon pou m' te vin jwenn ou, mwen menm. Annik di yon mo, domestik mwen an va geri.
8 [I believe this] because, as for me, there are people who have authority over me [and I obey them]. I also have soldiers under my [authority]. When I say to one of them, ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
Mwen menm, mwen sou zòd chèf, mwen gen sòlda sou zòd mwen tou. Lè m' di yonn: Ale! li ale. Lè m' di yon lòt: Vini! li vini. Lè m' di domestik mwen an: Fè sa! li fè li.
9 When [the officer’s friends arrived and] told that to Jesus, he marveled at what [the officer had said]. Then he turned and said to the crowd that was going with him, “I tell you, I have never before found anyone who trusted [in me like this non-Jewish man does]. No one from Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], has trusted in me like he has!”
Lè Jezi tande pawòl sa yo, li vin gen yon gwo admirasyon pou kaptenn lan. Li vire bò foul moun ki t'ap swiv li a, li di yo: M'ap di nou sa: Mwen poko janm jwenn yon moun ki gen konfyans nan Bondye konsa, pa menm nan pèp Izrayèl la.
10 When those men returned to the officer’s house, they found that the slave was well.
Lè zanmi kaptenn lan te voye yo tounen nan kay la, yo jwenn domestik ki te malad la geri.
11 Soon after that, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd [of other people] went with him.
Apre sa, Jezi ale nan yon lavil yo rele Nayen. Disip li yo t'ap fè wout avè l' ansanm ak yon gwo foul moun.
12 As they approached the town gate, the corpse of a young man who had just died was being carried out [on a stretcher] {[people] were carrying out [on a stretcher] the corpse of a young man who had just died}. His mother was a widow, and he was her only son. A large group of people from the town were accompanying them.
Li rive bò pòtay lavil la. Lè sa a yo t'ap pote yon mò al antere: se te sèl pitit gason yon madanm vèv. Te gen anpil moun lavil la avèk li.
13 When the Lord saw her, he pitied her. He said to her, “Do not cry!”
Lè Jezi wè vèv la, kè l' fè l' mal pou li, li di li: Pa kriye, tande!
14 Then, [ignoring the Jewish laws about not coming near a corpse], he came close and touched the stretcher [on which the body was lying]. So the men carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
Apre sa li pwoche, li manyen sèkèy la. Moun ki t'ap pote l' yo ret kanpe. Li di: Jennonm, se mwen menm k'ap pale avè ou. Leve.
15 The man sat up and began to talk! Jesus returned him to his mother [to care for her].
Epi mò a leve chita, li kòmanse pale. Jezi renmèt li bay manman li.
16 Then everyone [there] was amazed/awestruck. They praised God, saying, “A great prophet has come among us!” They also said, “God has come to help his people!”
Tout moun yo te pè, yo t'ap fè lwanj Bondye, yo t'ap di: Yon gwo pwofèt parèt nan mitan nou! Yo t'ap di tou: Bondye vin sove pèp li a.
17 [Then they] reported what Jesus [had done] throughout all of Judea [district] and other nearby areas.
Nouvèl la te gaye nan tout peyi Jide a ak nan tout vwazinaj la.
18 The disciples of John [the Baptizer went to the prison where John was and] told him about those things.
Patizan Jan Batis yo te rakonte tout bagay sa yo bay Jan Batis.
19 So [one day] John summoned two [of his disciples] and [told them] to go to the Lord and ask him: “Are you [the Messiah who the prophets prophesied would come], or is it someone else that we should expect [to come]?”
Jan rele de ladan yo, li voye yo bò kot Jezi al mande li: Eske ou se moun nou konnen ki gen pou vini an, osinon èske nou dwe tann yon lòt?
20 When those two men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptizer sent us to ask you [(sg)] this: Are you [the Messiah that] we are expecting [God] to send, or shall we [(exc)] expect someone else?”
Lè mesye sa yo rive bò kot Jezi, yo di li: Jan Batis voye nou bò kote ou vin mande ou: Eske ou se moun nou konnen ki gen pou vini an, osinon èske nou dwe tann yon lòt?
21 At that very time Jesus was healing many people of their diseases and [other] sicknesses, he was [casting out] evil spirits, and he was causing many blind people to be able to see.
Lè sa a, Jezi t'ap geri anpil moun malad ak anpil moun enfim, li t'ap wete yo anba pouvwa move lespri, li t'ap fè anpil avèg wè ankò.
22 So he answered those two men, “Go back and report to John what you have seen [me doing] and what you have heard [me telling people. I am enabling] blind people to see. [I am enabling] lame people to walk. [I am] healing people who have leprosy. [I am enabling] deaf people to hear. [I am causing] dead people to become alive again, [and I am] telling [God’s] good message to poor people.
Apre sa, li reponn moun Jan Batis te voye yo konsa: Ale rakonte Jan sa nou sot wè ak sa nou sot tande la a: je avèg yo louvri, moun ki t'ap bwete yo mache byen, moun ki te gen maladi lalèp yo geri, moun soudè yo tande, moun mouri yo leve, pòv yo tande bon nouvèl la.
23 [Also tell John that God] is pleased with those who do not stop believing in me [because what I do is not what they expect the Messiah to do].”
benediksyon pou moun ki p'ap jwenn nan mwen okazyon pou yo tonbe nan peche.
24 When the men whom John had sent left, Jesus began to talk to the crowd of people about John. He said to them, “[Think about] what sort of person you went to see in the desolate area [when you went there to see John] [RHQ]. [You did not go there to listen to a man who constantly changed the nature of his message] [MET], [like] a reed that is blown back and forth by the wind [RHQ].
Lè moun Jan te voye yo al fè wout yo, Jezi kòmanse pale ak foul moun yo sou Jan Batis. Li di yo konsa: Kisa nou te al wè nan dezè a? Yon pye wozo van ap balanse? Non.
25 Then what kind of man did you go there to see [RHQ]? Was he [RHQ] a man who wore expensive clothes? No! [You know very well that] people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are in kings’ palaces, [not in the desolate areas]!
Men, kisa nou te al wè menm? Yon nonm abiye ak bèl rad? Ala, moun ki abiye ak bèl rad, k'ap viv nan jwisans, se kay wa yo jwenn yo.
26 Then what [kind of person] did you go to see? [Did you] [RHQ] [go there to see John because he was] a prophet? Yes! But I will tell you that [John is] more [important] than an [ordinary] prophet.
Men, manyè di m' kisa nou tal wè? Yon pwofèt? Wi. Mwen menm, mwen di nou: li pi plis pase yon pwofèt.
27 He is the one about whom [these words] that God said to the Messiah have been written {[the prophet Malachi] wrote [these words]} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Listen! I am going to send my messenger ahead of you [(sg)] [SYN]. He will prepare [people] for your coming.’
Men sa ki te ekri sou Jan Batis: Men m'ap voye mesaje m' lan devan ou, la louvri chemen an devan pou ou.
28 I tell you that from among all the people who have ever lived, [God considers that] no one is greater than John. However, [God considers] everyone who has let God rule their [lives] [MET] to be greater than [John], [even if they are] insignificant [people].”
M'ap di nou sa: Nan tout moun ki fèt sou latè pa gen yonn ki pi konsekan pase Jan Batis. Men, moun ki pi piti nan peyi kote Bondye wa a pi konsekan pase li.
29 When they heard [what Jesus said] (OR, [what John preached]), all the people, including tax collectors, [whom many people despised], agreed that God’s way was right. By being baptized by John {By [letting] John baptize them}, [they had agreed that what God required people to do in order to be saved was right].
Tout pèp la ansanm ak pèseptè kontribisyon yo t'ap tande li. Moun sa yo te rekonèt se Bondye ki gen rezon, se pou sa yo te fè Jan Batis batize yo.
30 But the Pharisees and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were not baptized by John {did not [let] John baptize them} because they rejected what God wanted them to do.
Men, farizyen yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo te refize sa Bondye te vle fè pou yo; se sak fè yo pa t' kite Jan Batis batize yo.
31 [Then Jesus also said], “[Many of] you people have heard what [John and I] have taught. (I will illustrate what you are like./Do you know what [many of] you people who have heard what [John and I] have taught are like?) [RHQ]
Jezi di yo ankò: Ak ki moun mwen ta konpare moun k'ap viv nan tan alèkile yo? Ki moun yo sanble menm?
32 You are like children who are [playing games] in an open area. [Some of them] are calling to [the others], saying, ‘We [(exc)] played happy music for you on the flute, but you did not dance! Then we sang sad funeral songs for you, but you did not cry!’
Yo sanble timoun ki chita sou plas piblik. Yonn ap rele lòt pou di l' konsa: Nou jwe mizik cho pou nou ak fif nou, nou pa danse. Nou chante chante ki tris pou nou, nou pa kriye.
33 [Similarly, you people are dissatisfied with both John the Baptizer and me]! When John came and [preached to you], he did not eat [ordinary] food [SYN] or drink wine, [like most people do]. But you [rejected him], saying, ‘A demon is controlling him!’
Jan Batis vini, li pa manje pen, ni li pa bwè diven, nou di: Li gen yon move lespri sou li.
34 In [contrast], [I], the one who came from heaven, eat [the same food] and drink [wine as others do]. But you [reject me], saying, ‘Look! [This man] eats too much food and drinks too much wine, and he associates with tax collectors and [other] sinners!’
Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen vini, mwen manje, mwen bwè, nou di: Gade yon nonm! Se manje ak bwè ase l' konnen; se zanmi pèseptè kontribisyon ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal li ye.
35 But those who are [truly God’s] children [PRS] realize that [what John and I do is truly] wise.”
Men, tout moun ki asepte bon konprann Bondye a, yo moutre se Bondye nan bon konprann li ki gen rezon.
36 [One day] one of the Pharisees [named Simon] invited Jesus to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to the man’s house and reclined [to eat].
Yon farizyen te envite Jezi vin manje avè li. Jezi ale lakay farizyen an; li chita bò tab la pou l' manje.
37 There was a woman in that city [who many people knew had been] a prostitute [EUP]. She heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house. So she went there, taking a stone jar that contained perfume.
Nan lavil sa a, te gen yon fanm movèz vi. Lè fanm lan pran nouvèl Jezi t'ap manje lakay farizyen an, li pote yon ti boutèy fèt an albat plen odè.
38 [As the people there were reclining to eat], the woman stood behind [Jesus, at his] feet. As she was crying [because she was sorry for her sins, her tears fell on Jesus’ feet]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.
Li mete kò l' dèyè bò pye Jezi. Li kriye, li kriye, li mouye pye Jezi ak dlo ki t'ap soti nan je li. Apre sa, li siye yo ak cheve l', li bo yo, epi li vide odè sou yo.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited [Jesus] saw that, he thought, “[Prophets know about other people’s lives], [so] if Jesus were a prophet, he would have known who this woman is who is touching him, and what kind of a person she is. He would have known that she is a prostitute! [EUP]”
Lè farizyen ki te envite Jezi a wè sa, li t'ap di nan kè l': Si nonm sa a te yon pwofèt vre, se pou l' ta konnen ki kalite moun fanm sa k'ap manyen l' lan ye, li ta konnen ki movèz vi fanm sa a ap mennen.
40 Jesus said to him, “Simon, there is something I want to tell you [(sg)].” He replied, “Teacher, what is it?”
Lè sa a, Jezi pran lapawòl, li di l' konsa: Simon, mwen gen kichòy pou m' di ou. Simon reponn li: Mèt, ou mèt pale wi.
41 Jesus replied, “Two people owed some money to a man who [earned money by] lending [it to others]. One owed him 500 silver coins, and the other owed him 50 silver coins.
Jezi di li: Vwala, se te de moun ki te dwe yon nonm ki te prete yo lajan; premye a te dwe l' senksan (500) goud; lòt la te dwe l' senkant goud.
42 Neither of them was able to pay back [what he owed], so the man [very kindly] said that they did not have to pay back anything. So, which of those two men will love that man more?”
Ni yonn ni lòt pa t' gen dekwa peye dèt la. Lè sa a, nonm lan di yo yo pa bezwen peye dèt la ankò. Kilès nan yo de a va renmen l' plis?
43 Simon replied, “I think that the one who owed the most money and did not have to pay it back [will love him more].” Jesus said to him, “That is correct.”
Simon reponn li: Mwen ta kwè se nonm ki te dwe l' plis la. Jezi di l': Ou byen reponn.
44 Then he turned toward the woman, and said to Simon, “(Think about [what] this woman [has done]!/Do you [(sg)] see [what] this woman [has done]?) [RHQ] When I entered your house, you [did not follow our custom of welcoming guests by] giving me any water [to wash] my feet, but this woman has wet my feet with her tears and then wiped them with her hair!
Epi li vire bò fanm lan, li di Simon: Ou wè fanm sa a? Mwen antre lakay ou, ou pa menm ban m' dlo pou m' lave pye m'; men li menm, li lave pye m' ak dlo ki soti nan je l'. Apre sa, li siye yo ak cheve li.
45 You did not [follow our custom of greeting by] kissing me, but since I came in, this woman has not stopped kissing my feet!
Ou pa te bo m' lè m' t'ap antre lakay ou; men li menm, depi mwen antre se bo l'ap bo pye m'.
46 You did not [follow our custom of welcoming guests by] anointing my head with [olive] oil, but she has anointed my feet with fragrant perfume.
Ou pa vide lwil sou tèt mwen; men li menm, li vide odè sou pye mwen.
47 So I will tell you that even though this woman has sinned very much, she has been forgiven {[I] have forgiven her}. [By what she has done she has shown that] she loves [me] very much. But a person who has [sinned] just a little bit, but whom [I] have forgiven, will love [me just a little bit].”
Se poutèt sa, mwen di ou: li fè tout bagay sa yo pou moutre jan li renmen anpil, paske yo padonnen li anpil peche. Men, yon moun yo padonnen yon ti kras, se yon ti kras l'ap moutre jan l' renmen tou.
48 Then he said to the woman, “You have been forgiven {[I have] forgiven [you]} [for] your sins.”
Apre sa, Jezi di fanm lan: Peche ou yo padonnen.
49 Then those who were eating with him said among themselves, “(This man must [think that he is God]!/Who does this man [think that he] is [RHQ]), saying that he can forgive [people for] their sins?”
Moun ki te chita bò tab la avèk li yo pran di nan kè yo: Ki moun nonm sa a ye menm pou li padonnen peche?
50 But Jesus said to the woman, “Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me, God] has saved you [from the guilt of your sins]. May [God] give you inner peace as you go!”
Men Jezi di fanm lan: Se konfyans ou nan Bondye ki sove ou. Ale ak kè poze.
