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.
Jesus said to his disciples, ‘It is inevitable that there should be temptations but sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting!
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 them if they had been flung into the sea with a millstone round their neck, rather than that they should cause even one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Veye kò nou byen. Si frè ou tonbe nan peche, rale zòrèy li. Si l' chanje konpòtman li, padonnen li.
Be on your guard! If your brother or sister does wrong, rebuke them; but if they repent, forgive them.
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 they wrong you seven times a day, but turns to you every time and says “I am sorry,” you must forgive them.’
5 Apòt yo di Jezi: Fè nou gen plis konfyans non.
‘Give us more faith,’ said the apostles to the Master;
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.
but the Master said, ‘If your faith were only like a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree “Be uprooted and 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.
Which of you, if he had a servant ploughing, or tending the sheep, would say to him, when he came in from the fields, “Come at once and take your place at the table,”
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.
Instead of saying “Prepare my dinner, and then make yourself ready and serve me while I am eating and drinking, and after that you will eat and drink yourself”?
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 feel grateful to his servant for doing what he is told?
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.
And so with you – when you have done all that you have been told, still say “We are but useless servants; we have done no more than we ought to have done.”’
11 Pandan Jezi te nan chemen pou li al Jerizalèm, li t'ap pase sou fwontyè ki separe peyi Samari ak peyi Galile.
On the way to Jerusalem Jesus passed 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',
As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him.
13 yo pale byen fò, yo di l' konsa: Jezi, Mèt, gen pitye pou nou.
Standing still, some distance off, they called out loudly, ‘Jesus! Sir! Pity us!’
14 Lè Jezi wè yo, li di: Al fè prèt yo wè nou. Pandan yo taprale, yo geri.
When Jesus saw them, he said, ‘Go and show yourselves to the priest.’ And, as they were on their way, they were made clean.
15 Yonn ladan yo ki wè li geri tounen sou wout li, li t'ap fè lwanj Bondye byen fò pou tout moun tande.
One of them, finding he was cured, came back, praising God loudly,
16 Li lage kò l' atè nan pye Jezi, li di l' mèsi. Nonm sa a te yon moun pèyi Samari.
and threw himself on his face at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done; and this man was a Samaritan.
17 Jezi pran lapawòl, li di l': Nou toulèdis te geri pa vre. Kote nèf lòt yo?
‘Were not all the ten made clean? exclaimed Jesus. But the nine – where are they?
18 Se etranje sa a sèlman ki chonje pou l' vin fè lwanj Bondye?
Were there none to come back and praise God except this foreigner?
19 Epi li di li: Leve non. Ou mèt ale. Se konfyans ou nan Bondye ki geri ou.
Get up,’ he said to him, ‘and go on your way. Your faith has delivered you.’
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.
Being once asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was to come, Jesus answered, ‘The kingdom of God does not come in a way that can be seen,
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 people say “Look, here it is!” or “There it is!”; for 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.
The day will come,’ he said to his disciples, ‘when you will long to see but one of the days of the Son of Man, and 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.
People will say to you “There he is!” Or “Here he is!” Do not go and follow them.
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.
For, just as lightning will lighten and flare from one side of the heavens to the other, so will it be with the Son of Man.
25 Men, anvan sa, li gen pou l' soufri anpil, moun alèkile yo p'ap vle wè li.
But first he must undergo much suffering, and he must be rejected by the present 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.
As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be again in the days of the Son of 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 and drinking and marrying and being married, up to the very day on which Noah entered the ark, and then 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.
So, too, in the days of Lot. People 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 very day on which Lot came out of Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from the skies and destroyed them all.
30 Se va menm jan an tou lè jou a va rive pou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a parèt.
It will be the same on the day on which the Son of Man reveals himself.
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.
On that day, if a person is on their house-top and their goods in the house, they must not go down to get them; nor again must one who is on the farm 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 is eager to get the most out of their life will lose it; but whoever will lose 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.
On that night, I tell you, of two people on the same 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.
of two women grinding grain 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.
‘Where will it be, Master?’ asked the disciples. ‘Where there is a body,’ said Jesus, ‘there will the vultures flock.’
