Luke 17
1 Jesus said to his disciples, “Temptations are unavoidable, but it will be a disaster for those through whom they come!
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.
2 For such people it would be better to have a millstone hung around the neck and be thrown into the sea than to cause these little ones to sin.
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.
3 So take care what you do. If your brother sins, warn him; and if he repents, forgive him.
Veye kò nou byen. Si frè ou tonbe nan peche, rale zòrèy li. Si l' chanje konpòtman li, padonnen li.
4 Even if he sins against you seven times a day, and seven times comes back and tells you, ‘I'm really sorry,’ forgive him.”
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.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to have more trust!”
Apòt yo di Jezi: Fè nou gen plis konfyans non.
6 The Lord replied, “Even if your trust was as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Uproot yourself, and plant yourself in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
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.
7 Say you have a servant who does plowing or shepherding. When he comes in from work, do you say to him, ‘Come in and sit down now for a meal’?
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.
8 No. You say to him, ‘Prepare a meal for me, get yourself dressed, and serve me until I've finished my meal. After that you can have your meal.’
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.
9 And do you thank the servant for doing what you told him? No.
Li pa gen mèsi pou l' di domestik la paske domestik la fè sa l' te mande l' fè a, pa vre.
10 Likewise once you've done everything you were told, you should simply say, ‘We are undeserving servants. We just did our duty.’”
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.
11 As Jesus continued on his way to Jerusalem, he passed along the border between Samaria and Galilee.
Pandan Jezi te nan chemen pou li al Jerizalèm, li t'ap pase sou fwontyè ki separe peyi Samari ak peyi Galile.
12 As he entered a particular village, ten lepers met him, standing at a distance.
Antan l' t'ap antre nan yon bouk, dis moun ki te gen maladi lalèp vin kontre li. Yo rete kanpe byen lwen l',
13 They called out, “Jesus, Master, please have mercy on us.”
yo pale byen fò, yo di l' konsa: Jezi, Mèt, gen pitye pou nou.
14 When Jesus saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” On their way there, they were healed.
Lè Jezi wè yo, li di: Al fè prèt yo wè nou. Pandan yo taprale, yo geri.
15 One of them when he saw that he was healed, returned to Jesus, shouting praises to God.
Yonn ladan yo ki wè li geri tounen sou wout li, li t'ap fè lwanj Bondye byen fò pou tout moun tande.
16 He fell down at Jesus' feet, thanking him. He was a Samaritan.
Li lage kò l' atè nan pye Jezi, li di l' mèsi. Nonm sa a te yon moun pèyi Samari.
17 “Weren't ten lepers healed?” Jesus asked. “Where are the other nine?
Jezi pran lapawòl, li di l': Nou toulèdis te geri pa vre. Kote nèf lòt yo?
18 Didn't anyone else come back to praise God—only this foreigner?”
Se etranje sa a sèlman ki chonje pou l' vin fè lwanj Bondye?
19 Jesus told the man, “Get up and go on your way. Your trust has healed you.”
Epi li di li: Leve non. Ou mèt ale. Se konfyans ou nan Bondye ki geri ou.
20 Once, when the Pharisees came and asked him when God's kingdom would come, Jesus replied, “God's kingdom doesn't come with visible signs that you can observe.
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.
21 People won't be saying, ‘Look, it's here’ or ‘Look, it's there,’ for God's kingdom is among you.”
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.
22 Then Jesus told the disciples, “The time is coming when you'll long to see the day when the Son of man comes, but you won't see it.
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.
23 They'll be telling you, ‘Look, there he is,’ or ‘Look, here he is,’ but don't go running off after them.
Y'a di nou: Gade, men l' bò isit, osinon: Gade, men l' bò laba. Pa ale, pa kouri dèyè yo.
24 The day when the Son of man comes will be just like lightning that flashes, lighting up the sky from one side to the other.
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.
25 But first he will have to suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
Men, anvan sa, li gen pou l' soufri anpil, moun alèkile yo p'ap vle wè li.
26 The time when the Son of man comes will be like it was in Noah's day.
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.
27 People went on eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day Noah went into the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
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.
28 It will be like it was in Lot's day. People went on eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
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.
29 But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
Men, jou Lòt soti kite lavil Sodòm lan, dife souf grennen sot nan syèl la tankou lapli, tonbe sou yo; yo tout peri.
30 The day when the Son of man appears will be just like that.
Se va menm jan an tou lè jou a va rive pou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a parèt.
31 If you're up on the roof that day don't go down and get your things; and if you're out in the fields don't go back home either.
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.
32 Remember Lot's wife!
Chonje istwa madanm Lòt la.
33 If you try to hold on to your life you'll lose it; but if you lose your life you'll save it.
Moun ki va chache sove lavi l' va pèdi l'; men moun ki va pèdi lavi l' va konsève li.
34 I tell you, at that time two will be in bed at night; one will be taken and the other left.
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.
35 Two women will be grinding grain, one will be taken; and the other left.”
Va gen de fanm k'ap pile grenn ansanm: y'ap pran yonn, y'ap kite lòt la.
Va gen dezòm nan yon menm jaden; y'ap pran yonn, y'ap kite lòt la.
37 “Where, Lord?” they asked. “Where the carcass is, that's where the vultures gather,” Jesus replied.
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.
