Luke 11
1 When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
Li te rive ke pandan Li t ap priye nan yon sèten kote, lè L te fini, youn nan disip Li yo te di Li: Senyè, montre nou kijan pou nou priye, menm jan ke Jean osi te montre disip li yo.
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Li te di yo: “Lè n ap priye, di: ‘Papa nou ki nan syèl la, ke non Ou kapab Sen. Ke wayòm Ou kapab vini. Ke volonte ou kapab fèt sou latè a, menm jan kon nan syèl la.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
Bannou chak jou pen nou pou jounen an.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
Konsa, padone peche nou yo, paske nou menm osi padone tout sila ki dwe nou. Pa mennen nou nan tantasyon, men delivre nou de sila ki mechan an.’”
5 He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
Answit, Li te di yo: “Sipoze ke youn nan nou ta gen yon zanmi, e nou ale kote li a minwi pou di li: ‘Zanmi, prete m twa mòso pen.
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
Mwen gen yon zanmi ki vini, soti nan yon vwayaj, e mwen pa gen anyen pou mete devan l.’
7 and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
Depi anndan, li va di: ‘Pa deranje m! Pòt la fèmen deja. Pitit mwen yo avèk mwen menm deja nan kabann nan, e mwen pa kapab leve pou bay ou anyen.’
8 I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
Mwen di nou, menm si li p ap leve bay li anyen paske li se zanmi li, men akoz pèsistans li, l ap leve pou bay li kont sa li bezwen.
9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
“Donk Mwen di nou: Mande, e nou va resevwa. Chache e nou va twouve. Frape, e l ap ouvri bannou.
10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Paske tout moun ki mande, va resevwa. Sila a ki chache, va twouve. E a sila a ki frape, l ap ouvri.
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
“Alò, sipoze ke youn nan papa nou yo resevwa yon demann de fis li pou yon pen. Li p ap bay li yon wòch olye de pen. Se pa sa? O si li mande pou yon pwason, èske li va bay li yon kolèv?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
Oubyen si li mande li pou bay li yon ze, èske l ap bay li yon eskòpyon?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
Si nou menm ki mechan, alò, konnen kijan pou bay bon kado a pitit nou yo, konbyen anplis Papa nou nan syèl la va bay Lespri Sen an a sila yo ki mande Li?”
14 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
Answit, Li t ap chase yon dyab nan yon bèbè. Lè dyab la te fin sòti, gason bèbè a te pale. Konsa, foul la te etone.
15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
Men kèk nan yo te di: “Li chase dyab yo pa Béelzébul, mèt dyab yo.”
16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
Gen Lòt yo, pou teste L, t ap mande L yon sign ki sòti nan syèl la.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
Men Li te konnen panse yo. Li te di yo: “Nenpòt wayòm ki divize kont tèt li va detwi. E yon kay divize kont tèt li ap tonbe.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
Si Satan osi divize kont tèt li, kijan wayòm li an va kanpe? Paske nou di ke Mwen chase dyab yo pa Béelzébul.
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
Men si Mwen menm pa Béelzébul chase dyab yo, pa kilès fis nou yo konn chase yo? Konsa, se yo menm k ap jij nou yo.
20 But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
Men, si Mwen chase dyab yo ak dwèt Bondye a, alò, wayòm syèl la gen tan vini sou nou.
21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
Lè yon nonm fò, plen zam, veye pwòp kay li, byen li yo rete ansekirite.
22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
Men lè yon moun avèk plis fòs pase l vin atake l, li bat li, e li retire nan men li tout zam li yo, pou l vin divize piyaj la.
23 “He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
Sila ki pa avèk Mwen an, kont Mwen; e sila ki pa rasanble avè Mwen an, ap gaye.
24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
Lè lespri enpi a kite yon nonm, li travèse kote ki sèch pou chache repo. Lè l pa twouve, li di: ‘Mwen va retounen lakay mwen kote m sòti a.’
25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
“Lè l vini, li touve l byen bale, e mete an lòd.
26 Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
Answit li sòti pou chache pran sèt lòt dyab pi mal pase li menm, e yo vin antre pou viv la. Konsa, dènye eta a nonm sa a pi mal pase premye a.”
27 It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
Pandan Jésus t ap di bagay sa yo, youn nan fanm yo nan foul la te leve vwa li. Li te di Li: “Beni se vant ki te pote Ou a, e tete kote Ou te souse a.”
28 But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
Men Li te di: “Okontrè, beni se sila yo ki tande pawòl Bondye a, e ki swiv li.”
29 When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Pandan foul la t ap ogmante, Li te kòmanse di: “Jenerasyon sila a se yon jenerasyon pèvès; l ap chache yon sign, men okenn sign p ap bay, sof ke sign a Jonas la.
30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
Paske menm jan ke Jonas te vin yon sign pou Ninivit yo, menm jan an Fis a Lòm nan va ye pou jenerasyon sila a.
31 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
“Rèn Sid la va leve avèk lèzòm a jenerasyon sila a nan jijman, e kondane yo; akoz li menm te vini soti nan lekstremite tè a pou tande sajès a Salomon, e konsa, veye byen, gen yon bagay pi gran pase Salomon isit la.
32 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
“Lèzòm Niniv yo va kanpe avèk jenerasyon sila a nan jijman an, e kondane li, paske yo te repanti lè Jonas te preche. Konsa, veye byen, gen yon bagay pi gran ke Jonas isit la.
33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
“Pèsòn, lè l fin limen yon lanp pa mete li nan yon kote an kachèt, ni anba yon panyen, men sou yon chandelye, pou sila ki antre yo kapab wè limyè a.
34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
“Lanp a kò nou se zye nou. Lè zye nou klè, tout kò nou osi ranpli avèk limyè; men lè l pa bon, kò nou osi ranpli avèk tenèb.
35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
“Alò, veye ke limyè nan nou an pa tenèb.
36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
“Si donk, tout kò nou ranpli avèk limyè, san tenèb ladann, li va klere nèt, tankou lè lanp klere nou avèk reyon li.”
37 Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
Alò, lè L fin pale, yon Farizyen te mande Li pou dine avè L. Li te antre e te repoze sou tab la.
38 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
Lè Farizyen an te wè sa, li te etone, paske Li pa t fè devwa lave men L avan manje a.
39 The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
Men Senyè a te di: “Nou menm Farizyen yo netwaye tas la pa deyò, ansanm ak plato a. Men anndan nou ranpli avèk vòl ak mechanste.
40 You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
Nou menm bann ensanse, èske Sila ki te fè deyò a, pa t fè anndan an tou?
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
Men bay sa ki anndan an kòm charite, e konsa tout bagay ap pwòp pou nou.
42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
“Men malè a nou menm, Farizyen yo! Paske nou peye ladim, mant, ak lari de tout epis jaden an. Malgre sa, nou neglije lajistis avèk lanmou Bondye. Men bagay sa yo nou te dwe fè, san neglije lòt yo.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
Malè a nou menm, Farizyen yo! Paske nou renmen chèz a chèf nan sinagòg yo, ak salitasyon respè nan mache yo.
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
Malè a nou menm! Paske nou tankou tonm kache, pou moun mache sou yo san ke yo pa menm konnen.”
45 One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
Youn nan avoka yo te reponn Li: “Mèt, lè Ou di sa, W ap ensilte nou osi.”
46 He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
Konsa, Li te di: “Malè a nou menm, avoka yo osi! Paske nou chaje kò a moun avèk chaj ki lou, pandan nou menm, nou p ap menm manyen chaj sa yo avèk youn nan dwèt nou.
47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
“Malè a nou menm! Paske nou bati tonm a pwofèt yo, pandan se zansèt nou yo ki te touye yo.
48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
Konsa, nou vin temwen yo, e vin dakò avèk zak a zansèt nou yo. Paske se te yo menm ki te touye yo, e se nou ki bati tonm yo.
49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
“Pou rezon sa, sajès a Bondye te di: “Mwen va voye bay yo pwofèt ak apòt. Kèk yo va touye, e kèk yo va pèsekite;
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
jiskaske tout san a pwofèt yo ki te vèse depi fondasyon mond lan kapab chaje kont jenerasyon sila a,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
soti nan san Abel la, jis rive nan san a Zacharie, ki te peri antre nan otèl la ak kay Bondye a. Wi, Mwen di nou, li va chaje kont jenerasyon sila a.
52 Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
“Malè a nou menm, avoka yo! Paske yo pran nan men nou kle konesans lan. Nou pa t antre nou menm, e sila ki t ap antre ladann yo, nou te anpeche yo.”
53 As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
Lè L te kite la, skrib yo avèk Farizyen yo te kòmanse vin move anpil. Yo te kesyone L byen pre sou anpil sijè,
54 lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
paske yo t ap eseye fòme yon konplo kont Li pou kenbe L nan yon pawòl ke Li ta petèt pale.
