Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
Alò, Li t ap di yo yon parabòl pou montre ke nan tout tan yo te dwe priye, e pa dekouraje.
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
Li t ap di: “Te gen nan yon sèten vil, yon jij ki pa t pè Bondye, ni pa trespekte moun.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
“Alò, Te gen yon vèv nan menm vil sa a, e li te toujou ap vin kote li pou di l: ‘Ban m pwoteksyon kont advèsè mwen an.’
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
“Nan kòmansman, li pa t dakò, men apre li te vin di tèt li: ‘Malgre ke m pa pè Bondye, nirespekte moun,
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
menakoz ke vèv sa a anmède m, mwen va bay li pwoteksyon legal. Otreman li ap kontinye vin kote mwen tout tan, e l ap fatige m nèt.’”
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Epi Senyè a te di: “Koute byen sa ke jij enjis la te vle di.
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
Alò, èske Bondye p ap fè jistis pousila Li chwazi yo, ki kriye a Li lajounen kon lannwit, epi èske Li vafè anpil reta sou yo?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
“Mwen di nou ke Li va fè jistis pou yo byen vit. Sepandan lè Fis a Lòm nan vini, èske Li va twouve lafwa sou latè?”
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
Li te anplis pale parabòl sila a pou kèk moun ki te kwè nan tèt yo ke yo te jis, ete gade lòt yo kòm piba.
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
“De mesyete monte nan tanp lan pou priye, yon Farizyen, e lòt la yon kolektè kontribisyon.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
“Farizyen an tekanpe e t ap priye konsa a li menm: ‘Bondye, mwen remèsye Ou ke mwen pa tankou lòt moun; twonpè yo, enjis yo, adiltè yo, oswa menm tankou kolektè kontribisyon sila a.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
Mwen fè jèn de fwa chak semèn. Mwenpeye ladim sou tout sa mwen fè.’
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
Men kolektè kontribisyon an te kanpe a yon distans, epa t menm dakò pou leve zye li vè syèl la, men lit ap bat lestomak li, e t ap di: “Bondye, fè gras a mwen, ki pechè a.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
“Mwen di nou ke mesye sa a te desann lakay li jistifye pase lòt la, paskenenpòt moun ki leve tèt li va vin imilye, e sila a ki imilye tèt li a, va vin leve.”
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Alò, yo t ap pote menm tibebe bay li pou Li ta kapab touche yo, men lè disip yo te wè sa, yo te kòmanse reprimande yo.
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
Men Jésus te rele yo, e te di: “Kite timoun yo vin kote Mwen, e pa anpeche yo, paske wayòm Bondye a se pou sila yo ki tankou yo menm.
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
“Anverite, Mwen di nou: ‘Nenpòt moun ki pa resevwa wayòm Bondye a tankou yon timoun, li p ap antre ladan l menm.’”
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Konsa, yon sèten direktè te kesyone L e te di: “Bon mèt, kisa pou m ta fè pou eritye lavi etènèl?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
Jésus te mande l: “Poukisa ou rele M bon? Nanpwen pèsòn ki bon sof ke Bondye sèl.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
Ou konnen kòmandman yo. ‘Pa fè adiltè, pa touye moun, pa vòlè, pa fè fo temwayaj, onore papa ou avèk manman ou.’”
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
Li te di: “Tout bagay sa yo mwen fè yo depi nan jenès mwen”.
22 When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
Lè Jésus te tande sa, Li te di li: “Yon sèl bagay ou manke toujou. Vann tout sa ke ou posede e separe yo bay malere. Konsa ou va gen richès nan syèl la, epi vin swiv Mwen.”
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Men lè li te tande bagay sa yo, li te vin byen tris, paske li te gen anpil richès.
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
Lè l wè tristès li, Jésus te gade l, e te di: “Tèlman li difisil pou sila ki rich yo antre nan wayòm Bondye a!
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
Li pi fasil pou yon chamo pase nan zye a yon egwi, pase pou yon nonm rich ta antre nan wayòm Bondye a.”
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
Sila yo ki te tande sa te di: “Alò, kilès ki kapab sove?”
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
Men Li te di: “Bagay ki pa posib avèk lòm posib avèk Bondye.”
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
Konsa, Pierre te di: “Gade byen, nou kite pwòp kay nou pou swiv Ou.”
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
Li te di yo: “Anverite Mwen di nou ke pa gen pèsòn ki te kite kay, oswa madanm, oswa paran, oswa zanfan yo, pou koz a wayòm syèl la,
31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
Answit Li te pran douz yo sou kote, e te di yo: “Veye byen, n ap monte Jérusalem, e tout bagay ki te ekri pa pwofèt yo konsènan Fis a Lòm nan va vin acheve.
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
Paske Li va livre a etranje yo, e li va moke, maltrete, e y ap krache sou Li.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
Lè yo fin bat Li avèk fwèt, yo va touye Li. Epi nan twazyèm jou a, l ap leve ankò.”
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
Men disip yo pa t konprann anyen nan bagay sa yo. Pawòl sa te kache a yo menm, e yo pa t konprann bagay ki t ap pale yo.
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
Pandan Jésus t ap pwoche Jéricho, yon sèten mesye avèg te chita akote wout la pou mande charite.
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
Alò, li te tande foul la ki t ap pase, e te kòmanse mande kisa sa te ye.
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Yo te reponn Li ke Jésus de Nazareth t ap pase.
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Konsa, li te kòmanse rele fò, e te di: “Jésus, Fis a David la, Fè m gras!”
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
Sila yo ki t ap dirije chemen an t ap pale sevèman avè l pou fè silans; men li te kriye pi fò, “Jésus, Fis a David la, Fè m gras!”
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
Jésus te kanpe, e te bay lòd pou yo voye l kote Li. Lè l te vin toupre, Li te kesyone l:
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
“Kisa ou vle M fè pou ou?” Epi Li te di: “Senyè, mwen vle vin wè ankò.”
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
Jésus te di li: “Resevwa vizyon ou; lafwa ou fè ou geri.”
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
Imedyatman, li te vin wè ankò. Konsa, li te kòmanse swiv Li e li t ap bay glwa a Bondye. Lè tout moun te wè sa, yo te bay lwanj a Bondye.
