Lik 17
1 Jezi di disip li yo: Ap toujou gen bagay k'ap fèt ki pou fè moun fè peche. Men, malè pou moun ki lakòz bagay sa yo rive.
Then He said to the disciples: “Things that cause people to fall are bound to come, but woe to him through whom they do come!
2 Li ta pi bon pou li si yo ta mare yon gwo wòl moulen nan kou l' epi yo voye l' jete nan lanmè; wi, sa ta pi bon pou li pase pou l' ta lakòz yonn nan ti piti sa yo tonbe nan peche.
It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to fall.
3 Veye kò nou byen. Si frè ou tonbe nan peche, rale zòrèy li. Si l' chanje konpòtman li, padonnen li.
Watch out for yourselves: if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4 Si nan yon sèl jounen an li peche sèt fwa kont ou, si toulesèt fwa yo, li tounen vin jwenn ou pou l' di ou: Mwen p'ap fè sa ankò, se pou ou padonnen li.
Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in that day returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
5 Apòt yo di Jezi: Fè nou gen plis konfyans non.
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
6 Jezi di yo: Si nou te gen konfyans nan Bondye gwosè yon ti grenn moutad, nou ta di pye sikomò sa a: Derasinen tèt ou sot la a, al plante tèt ou nan lanmè, li ta obeyi nou.
So the Lord said: “If you had faith like a mustard seed has, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7 Sipoze yonn nan nou gen yon domestik k'ap travay tè l' osinon k'ap gade mouton pou li. Lè domestik la soti nan jaden, èske l'ap di li: Pwoche vit, vin chita bò tab la pou ou manje.
“And which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline to eat’?
8 Non. Okontrè. L'ap di li: Pare manje pou mwen. Twouse ponyèt ou pou ou ka sèvi m' pandan m'ap manje, pandan m'ap bwè. Se lè m' fin manje, ou menm wa manje, wa bwè.
Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, and gird yourself and serve me until I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?
9 Li pa gen mèsi pou l' di domestik la paske domestik la fè sa l' te mande l' fè a, pa vre.
Does he thank that slave because he did the things commanded? I guess not!
10 Se menm jan an tou pou nou, lè nou fin fè tou sa yo te mande nou fè, se pou n' di: Se domestik nou ye, nou fè sa n' te dwe fè.
So likewise you, whenever you have done everything you were told to do, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves, because we have only done what we were supposed to.’”
11 Pandan Jezi te nan chemen pou li al Jerizalèm, li t'ap pase sou fwontyè ki separe peyi Samari ak peyi Galile.
Now as He was traveling toward Jerusalem, He went along between Samaria and Galilee.
12 Antan l' t'ap antre nan yon bouk, dis moun ki te gen maladi lalèp vin kontre li. Yo rete kanpe byen lwen l',
And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him—being lepers they stood at a distance.
13 yo pale byen fò, yo di l' konsa: Jezi, Mèt, gen pitye pou nou.
They called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14 Lè Jezi wè yo, li di: Al fè prèt yo wè nou. Pandan yo taprale, yo geri.
And paying attention He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” It happened that as they went they were cleansed!
15 Yonn ladan yo ki wè li geri tounen sou wout li, li t'ap fè lwanj Bondye byen fò pou tout moun tande.
Well one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, glorifying God with a loud voice;
16 Li lage kò l' atè nan pye Jezi, li di l' mèsi. Nonm sa a te yon moun pèyi Samari.
then he fell on his face at His feet, thanking Him—and he was a Samaritan!
17 Jezi pran lapawòl, li di l': Nou toulèdis te geri pa vre. Kote nèf lòt yo?
So Jesus reacted by saying: “Were not all ten cleansed? So where are the nine?
18 Se etranje sa a sèlman ki chonje pou l' vin fè lwanj Bondye?
None were found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner!”
19 Epi li di li: Leve non. Ou mèt ale. Se konfyans ou nan Bondye ki geri ou.
Then He said to him, “Get up and go; your faith has made you well.”
20 Farizyen yo mande Jezi kilè Bondye t'ap vin tabli gouvènman l' lan. Li reponn yo: Bondye ap vin tabli gouvènman l' lan yon jan pou tout moun wè li.
Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said: “The Kingdom of God does not come with observation;
21 Men, yo p'ap di: Men l' bò isit, osinon: Men l' bò laba. Paske, konnen sa byen, gouvenman Bondye a la nan mitan nou.
nor will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ because indeed the Kingdom of God is within you.”
22 Epi li di disip yo: Gen yon lè nou va anvi wè yonn nan jou ki pou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, men nou p'ap wè sa.
Then He said to the disciples: “Days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of the Man, and you will not see it.
23 Y'a di nou: Gade, men l' bò isit, osinon: Gade, men l' bò laba. Pa ale, pa kouri dèyè yo.
And they will say to you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Do not go along or follow.
24 Lè yon kout zèklè fè yan, li klere syèl la byen klere depi yon bout jouk nan lòt bout la, pa vre. Se va menm jan an tou pou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, lè jou l' va rive.
Because just like the lightning that lights the whole sky when it flashes, so also will the Son of the Man be in His day.
25 Men, anvan sa, li gen pou l' soufri anpil, moun alèkile yo p'ap vle wè li.
But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 Sa ki te rive nan tan Noe a se sa k'ap rive tou lè jou a va rive pou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a vini.
Also, just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of the Man.
27 Moun t'ap manje, yo t'ap bwè, moun t'ap marye, yo t'ap marye pitit fi yo; se konsa tout bagay te ye, jouk jou Noe te antre nan gwo batiman an. Lè inondasyon an fèt, li touye yo tout.
They were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Sa ki te rive nan tan Lòt la va rive menm jan an tou. Moun t'ap manje, yo t'ap bwè, yo t'ap achte, yo t'ap plante, yo t'ap bati.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building—
29 Men, jou Lòt soti kite lavil Sodòm lan, dife souf grennen sot nan syèl la tankou lapli, tonbe sou yo; yo tout peri.
but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 Se va menm jan an tou lè jou a va rive pou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a parèt.
Even so will it be in the day when the Son of the Man is revealed.
31 Jou sa a, moun ki va sou tèt kay p'ap bezwen desann anndan kay la ale pran zafè li. Moun ki nan jaden p'ap bezwen tounen lakay ankò.
“In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to get them; and likewise he who is in the field, let him not turn back.
32 Chonje istwa madanm Lòt la.
Remember Lot's wife!
33 Moun ki va chache sove lavi l' va pèdi l'; men moun ki va pèdi lavi l' va konsève li.
Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever ‘wastes’ it will preserve it.
34 M'ap di nou sa: Jou lannwit sa a, va gen de moun sou yon menm kabann; y'ap pran yonn, y'ap kite lòt la.
I tell you: on that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.
35 Va gen de fanm k'ap pile grenn ansanm: y'ap pran yonn, y'ap kite lòt la.
Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken and the other left.”
36 Va gen dezòm nan yon menm jaden; y'ap pran yonn, y'ap kite lòt la.
37 Disip yo pran lapawòl, yo mande l' konsa: Ki kote sa pral fèt, Mèt? Li reponn yo: Kote kadav la va ye, se la votou yo va sanble.
They reacted by saying to Him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where there is a carcass, there will the vultures also be gathered.”
