Lik 16
1 Jezi di disip li yo: Vwala, se te yon nonm rich ki te gen yon jeran. Yo vin rapòte l' jan jeran an ap gaspiye tout byen l' yo.
And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and this man was accused to him as squandering things possessed by him.
2 Li rele jeran an, li di li: Kisa m' tande y'ap di sou ou konsa? vin fè regleman travay ou avè m', paske mwen p'ap kite byen m' yo sou kont ou ankò.
And having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about thee? Render the account of thy management, for thou can no longer manage.
3 Jeran an di nan kè l': Patwon an pral kase m' nan djòb sa a; kisa m' pral fè koulye a? Mwen pa gen fòs pou m' al travay latè. Epi se va yon wont pou m' al mande charite!
And the manager said within himself, What shall I do because my lord takes away the management from me? I am not able to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 Bon, mwen konn sa m' pral fè pou lè m' pèdi djòb mwen m'a toujou gen moun ki pou resevwa m' lakay yo.
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.
5 Jeran an fè rele tout moun ki te dwe mèt la, li fè yo vini yonn apre lòt. Li di premye a: Konbe ou dwe mèt la?
And having summoned each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much do thou owe to my lord?
6 Li reponn: Mwen dwe l' san (100) bidon lwil. Msye di l': Men papye ou la, chita, ekri senkant. Fè vit.
And he said, A hundred measures of olive oil. And he said to him, Receive thy document, and having sat down, quickly write fifty.
7 Apre sa, li di yon lòt; Ou menm, konbe ou dwe? Li reponn: San sak (100) mayi. Msye di l': Men papye ou la, ekri katreven.
Next he said to another, And how much do thou owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he says to him, Receive thy document, and write eighty.
8 Nonm rich la fè jeran visye a konpliman dapre li te aji ak ladrès sa a. Paske moun k'ap viv dapre prensip lemonn yo regle zafè yo pi byen pase moun ki gen limyè a. (aiōn g165)
And his lord commended the unrighteous manager because he did shrewdly. Because the sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 Jezi di yo ankò: Nou menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Bat pou nou fè zanmi ak richès ki sou latè. Konsa, lè richès nou va fini, y'a resevwa nou nan kay Bondye ki la pou tout tan an. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, make friends for yourselves from the mammon of unrighteousness, so that, when ye cease, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 Moun ki kenbe pawòl li nan tout ti bagay, la kenbe l' nan gwo bagay tou. Men, moun ki pa serye nan ti bagay, li p'ap serye nan gwo bagay non plis.
The man faithful in the least is faithful also in much, and the man unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
11 Si ou pa sèvi byen ak richès ou gen sou latè, kilès ki va fè ou konfyans pou richès tout bon yo?
If therefore ye did not become faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you what is true?
12 Si ou pa t' sèvi byen avèk sa ki te pou lòt moun, ki moun ki va ba ou sak pou ou a?
And if ye did not become faithful in the alien, who will give thine to you?
13 Pesonn pa ka sèvi de mèt byen anmenmtan. Li gen pou l' rayi yonn si l' renmen lòt la. L'ap sèvi yonn byen, men l'ap meprize lòt la. Nou pa ka sèvi Bondye ak lajan anmenmtan.
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Farizyen yo t'ap koute tout pawòl sa yo tou. Yo t'ap pase Jezi nan betiz paske yo te renmen lajan.
And the Pharisees, being lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered him.
15 Lè sa a Jezi di yo: Nou menm, n'ap chache parèt pou pi bon devan moun, men Bondye konnen sa ki nan kè nou. Bagay moun bay plis enpòtans, se yo Bondye pa vle wè.
And he said to them, Ye are those who declare yourselves righteous in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. Because what is lofty among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Kòmandman Moyiz ak liv pwofèt yo te gen fòs lalwa jouk tan Jan Batis te rive. Men, depi lè sa a, se anonse y'ap anonse bon nouvèl peyi kote Bondye Wa a, se nan goumen pou moun antre ladan li.
The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed good news, and every man in it is treated aggressively.
17 Men, l'ap pi fasil pou syèl la ak tè a disparèt pase pou yon sèl ti detay nan lalwa a pèdi valè li.
But it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
18 Si yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou l' marye ak yon lòt, nonm sa a fè adiltè. Lè yon mari kite madanm li, si yon lòt nonm marye ak madanm lan, nonm sa a fè adiltè tou.
Every man who divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery, and every man who marries her who has been divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 Vwala, se te yon nonm rich ki te konn abiye ak bèl twal wouj e blan ki te koute chè. Chak jou, se te gwo fèt banbòch lakay li.
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously daily.
20 Te gen yon pòv yo rele Laza ki te kouche nan papòt nonm rich la. Laza te kouvri ak malenng.
But there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who had been placed near his gate, covered with sores,
21 Li te byen anvi plen vant li ak bagay ki t'ap soti tonbe anba tab nonm rich la. Sa ki pi rèd, chen t'ap vin niche malenng li yo tou.
and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. But even the dogs that came licked his sores.
22 Pòv la vin mouri, zanj Bondye yo pote l' mete bò kot Abraram nan syèl la. Nonm rich la mouri tou, yo antere li.
And it came to pass for the poor man to die and be carried by the agents to Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23 Pandan l' te kote tout mò yo ye a nan mitan soufrans, li voye je l' byen lwen li wè Abraram ak Laza ansanm avèk li. (Hadēs g86)
And having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus by his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Nonm rich la rele: Abraram papa, gen pitye pou mwen non! Voye Laza tranpe ti bout dwèt li nan yon ti tak dlò pou l' mete yon frechè sou lang mwen, paske se pa ti soufri m'ap soufri nan flanm sa a.
And having cried out, he said, Father Abraham, be merciful to me, and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame.
25 Abraram reponn li: Pitit mwen, chonje byen: ou te resevwa tout bon bagay pa ou yo pandan ou te sou latè. Lè sa a menm, Laza te nan tout mizè li. Koulye a, li jwenn konsolasyon bò isit la, ou menm w'ap soufri.
But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now here he is comforted and thou are in agony.
26 Epitou, gen yon gwo twou ki separe nou avè ou, konsa pa gen mwayen pou moun sot isit la pou y' al jwenn ou, osinon pou moun ta soti kote ou ye a pou vin jwenn nou.
And besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those here who want to cross over to you are not able, nor may those go across from there to us.
27 Nonm rich la di li: Tanpri, Abraram papa, voye Laza kay papa mwen.
And he said, I beg thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father's house,
28 Mwen gen senk frè. Mwen ta vle li al di yo jan bagay la ye pou yo pa vin isit nan touman sa a.
for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraram reponn li: Yo gen Moyiz ak pwofèt yo pou avèti yo, se pou yo koute yo.
But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them.
30 Li di li: Non, papa Abraram, yo p'ap koute. Men, si yonn nan mò yo al jwenn yo, y'a chanje lavi yo.
And he said, No, father Abraham, but if some man would go to them from the dead they will repent.
31 Lè sa a, Abraram di li: Si yo pa koute Moyiz ak pwofèt yo, yo p'ap kite pesonn lòt fè yo wè verite a. Li ta mèt yon mò ki ta leve vivan ankò, yo p'ap koute li.
And he said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if some man would rise from the dead.
