Luke 12
1 In the meane time, there gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trode one another: and he began to say vnto his disciples first, Take heede to your selues of the leauen of the Pharises, which is hypocrisie.
Lè sa a, se pa ti kras moun ki te sanble; te sitèlman gen moun, yonn t'ap pile lòt. Jezi pran di disip li yo: Veye kò nou ak ledven farizyen yo, ak ti jan ipokrit yo a.
2 For there is nothing couered, that shall not bee reueiled: neither hidde, that shall not be knowen.
Pa gen anyen ki kache ki p'ap dekouvri yon lè, nanpwen sekrè ki p'ap devwale.
3 Wherefore whatsoeuer yee haue spoken in darkenesse, it shall be heard in the light: and that which ye haue spoken in the eare, in secret places, shall be preached on the houses.
Se poutèt sa, tou sa n'a di nan fènwa, y'a tande l' gwo lajounen; tout sa n'a di moun nan zòrèy anndan chanm, y'a mache di l' nan tout kalfou.
4 And I say vnto you, my friendes, be not afraide of them that kill the bodie, and after that are not able to doe any more.
Nou menm ki zanmi m', m'ap di nou sa. Nou pa bezwen pè moun ki touye kò men ki pa kapab fè anyen plis pase sa.
5 But I wil forewarne you, who ye shall feare: feare him which after hee hath killed, hath power to cast into hell: yea, I say vnto you, him feare. (Geenna g1067)
M'ap moutre nou moun pou nou pè a: Se Bondye pou nou pè. Lè Bondye fin touye, li gen pouvwa pou l' jete nan lanfè apre sa. Wi, mwen di nou se li menm pou nou pè. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not fiue sparowes bought for two farthings, and yet not one of them is forgotten before God?
Eske ti zwezo pa vann senk pou dis kòb? Men, Bondye pa bliye yon sèl ladan yo.
7 Yea, and all the heares of your head are nombred: feare not therefore: yee are more of value then many sparowes.
Menm cheve nan tèt nou, yo tout konte. Se sak fè, nou pa bezwen pè menm: nou vo pi plis pase anpil ti zwezo.
8 Also I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall confesse mee before men, him shall the Sonne of man confesse also before the Angels of God.
M'ap di nou sa: Moun ki va kanpe pou mwen devan lèzòm, mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, m'a fè menm bagay la pou li devan zanj Bondye yo.
9 But hee that shall denie mee before men, shall be denied before the Angels of God.
Men, moun ki va di devan lèzòm li pa konnen m', mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, m'a kanpe devan zanj Bondye yo tou m'a di mwen pa konnen l'.
10 And whosoeuer shall speake a woorde against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but vnto him, that shall blaspheme ye holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen.
Tout moun ki pale mal sou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, y'a padonnen yo. Men, moun ki pale mal sou Sentespri a yo p'ap padonnen yo sa.
11 And when they shall bring you vnto the Synagogues, and vnto the rulers and Princes, take no thought howe, or what thing ye shall answere, or what yee shall speake.
Lè y'a mennen nou pou yo jije nou nan sinagòg, osinon devan chèf ou ankò devan lòt otorite, pa bat tèt nou pou n' chache konnen ki jan nou pral fè defans nou, ni kisa pou n' di.
12 For the holy Ghost shall teache you in the same houre, what yee ought to say.
Paske, Sentespri a va moutre nou sa pou nou di lè sa a.
13 And one of the companie said vnto him, Master, bidde my brother deuide the inheritance with me.
Yon moun rete nan mitan foul la, li di Jezi konsa: Mèt, di frè m' lan pou l' separe eritaj papa nou an avèk mwen.
14 And he said vnto him, Man, who made me a iudge, or a deuider ouer you?
Jezi reponn li: Zanmi mwen, ki moun ki mete m' pou jije afè nou osinon pou fè pataj pou nou?
15 Wherefore he said vnto them, Take heede, and beware of couetousnesse: for though a man haue abundance, yet his life standeth not in his riches.
Apre sa, li di yo tout: Fè atansyon. Veye kò nou pou lajan pa pran tèt nou. Paske, se pa anpil byen ki garanti lavi yon nonm, li te mèt rich kont kò li.
16 And he put foorth a parable vnto them, saying, The grounde of a certaine riche man brought foorth fruites plenteously.
Li di yo parabòl sa a tou: Vwala, se te yon nonm rich ki te gen yon tè ki te rapòte l' anpil.
17 Therefore he thought with himselfe, saying, What shall I doe, because I haue no roume, where I may lay vp my fruites?
Li t'ap di nan kè li: Kisa pou m' fè? Mwen pa gen plas pou m' sere rekòt mwen yo.
18 And he said, This wil I do, I wil pul downe my barnes, and builde greater, and therein will I gather all my fruites, and my goods.
Apre sa li di: Bon. Men sa m'ap fè; m'ap kraze depo m' yo, m'ap bati lòt pi gwo pou m' mete tout rekòt mwen yo ak tout lòt byen mwen yo.
19 And I wil say to my soule, Soule, thou hast much goods laide vp for many yeeres: liue at ease, eate, drinke and take thy pastime.
Apre sa, m'a di tèt mwen: Monchè, ou gen anpil byen an depò pou plizyè lanne. Pa fatige kò ou ankò. Manje, bwè, pran plezi ou.
20 But God said vnto him, O foole, this night wil they fetch away thy soule from thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast prouided?
Men, Bondye di li: Egare! Aswè a menm yo pral mande ou nanm ou. Tou sa ou te sere yo, pou ki moun y'a ye?
21 So is he that gathereth riches to himselfe, and is not riche in God.
Jezi di yo ankò: Se konsa sa ye tou pou moun k'ap ranmase byen pou tèt pa l' men ki pa rich devan Bondye.
22 And he spake vnto his disciples, Therefore I say vnto you, Take no thought for your life, what yee shall eate: neither for your body, what yee shall put on.
Apre sa, Jezi di disip li yo: Se poutèt sa mwen di nou: Pa bat kò nou pou manje nou bezwen pou nou viv, ni pou rad nou bezwen pou mete sou nou.
23 The life is more then meate: and the body more then the raiment.
Lavi pi konsekan pase manje, kò pi konsekan pase rad.
24 Consider the rauens: for they neither sowe nor reape: which neither haue storehouse nor barne, and yet God feedeth them: how much more are yee better then foules?
Gade zwezo yo rele kònèy la: yo pa plante, yo pa fè rekòt; yo pa gen ni depo ni galata. Men, Bondye ba yo manje. Nou menm nou vo pi plis pase zwezo yo, pa vre?
25 And which of you with taking thought, can adde to his stature one cubite?
Kilès nan nou ki ka mete kek lanne an plis sou lavi l' afòs li fè tèt li travay?
26 If yee then bee not able to doe the least thing, why take yee thought for the remnant?
Si nou pa ka fè bagay ki pi piti a, poukisa pou n'ap bat tèt nou pou lòt bagay yo?
27 Consider the lilies howe they growe: they labour not, neither spin they: yet I say vnto you, that Salomon himselfe in all his royaltie was not clothed like one of these.
Gade ki jan flè raje yo pouse: yo pa travay, yo pa fè rad. Men, m'ap di nou sa: Wa Salomon ki wa Salomon, ak tout richès li yo, li pa t' gen bèl rad tankou yonn nan flè sa yo.
28 If then God so clothe the grasse which is to day in the field, and to morowe is cast into the ouen, howe much more will he clothe you, O yee of litle faith?
Se konsa Bondye abiye pye zèb yo tou: jòdi a yo la, men denmen yo jete sa nan dife pou chofe fou. Se sak fè, se pa nou menm li pa ta abiye. Ala moun manke konfyans nan Bondye!
29 Therefore aske not what yee shall eate, or what ye shall drinke, neither hag you in suspense.
Pa bay kò nou traka pou n' toujou ap chache sa pou n' manje ak sa pou n' bwè.
30 For all such things the people of the world seeke for: and your Father knoweth that ye haue neede of these things.
Tout bagay sa yo, se moun lòt nasyon sou latè yo k'ap chache yo tout tan san rete. Men nou menm, nou gen yon Papa ki konnen nou bezwen tout bagay sa yo.
31 But rather seeke ye after the kingdome of God, and all these things shalbe cast vpon you.
Pito nou chache bay bagay peyi kote Bondye Wa a premye plas nan lavi nou, konsa Bondye va ban nou tou sa nou bezwen.
32 Feare not, litle flocke: for it is your Fathers pleasure, to giue you the kingdome.
Nou pa bezwen pè, nou menm ti bann mouton yo, paske se tout plezi papa nou pou l' ban nou peyi kote Bondye Wa a.
33 Sell that ye haue, and giue almes: make you bagges, which waxe not old, a treasure that can neuer faile in heauen, where no theefe commeth, neither mothe corrupteth.
Vann tou sa nou genyen, separe lajan an bay pòv. Chache yon bous ki p'ap chire. Sere lajan nou nan syèl kote li p'ap janm fini. Paske la, vòlò p'ap ka jwenn li, poudbwa p'ap kapab manje li.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your hearts be also.
Kote richès ou ye, se la kè ou ye tou.
35 Let your loynes be gird about and your lights burning,
Se pou nou toujou pare ak ponyèt nou tou twouse, lanp nou tou limen,
36 And ye your selues like vnto men that waite for their master, when he will returne from the wedding, that when he commeth and knocketh, they may open vnto him immediatly.
tankou domestik k'ap tann mèt yo tounen sot nan nòs. Kou l' rive, li frape, yo louvri pòt pou li.
37 Blessed are those seruants, whom the Lord when he commeth shall finde waking: verely I say vnto you, he will girde himselfe about, and make them to sit downe at table, and will come forth, and serue them.
L'ap bon nèt pou domestik sa yo lè mèt la p'ap jwenn yo ap dòmi! Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi. Mèt la va twouse ponyèt li, l'ap fè domestik yo chita sou tab, la vin sèvi yo.
38 And if he come in the seconde watch, or come in the third watch, and shall finde them so, blessed are those seruants.
Wi, l'ap bon nèt pou domestik sa yo, si l' jwenn yo p'ap dòmi, kit li tounen vè menwit osinon menm pita toujou.
39 Nowe vnderstand this, that if the good man of the house had knowen at what houre the theefe would haue come, he would haue watched, and would not haue suffered his house to be digged through.
Se yon bagay nou tout nou dwe konnen: Si mèt kay la te konn kilè vòlò ap vini, li ta veye, li pa ta kite l' kase kay la.
40 Be ye also prepared therefore: for the Sonne of man will come at an houre when ye thinke not.
Nou menm tou, se pou n' toujou pare, paske Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va vini lè nou pa ta kwè!
41 Then Peter saide vnto him, Master, tellest thou this parable vnto vs, or euen to all?
Lè sa a Pyè di li: Mèt, parabòl sa a, se pou nou menm sèlman osinon pou tout moun ou di li?
42 And the Lord saide, Who is a faithfull steward and wise, whom the master shall make ruler ouer his householde, to giue them their portion of meate in season?
Jezi reponn li: Ki moun ki ka di li se yon jeran ki fè tout travay li byen, epi ki konn kenbe tèt li anplas? Se moun sa a mèt kay la va mete pou veye sou tout moun nan kay la, pou bay lòt domestik yo manje lè pou yo manje.
43 Blessed is that seruant, whom his master when he commeth, shall finde so doing.
Se va bèl bagay pou domestik sa a, si mèt la jwenn li ap fè travay li lè l' tounen lakay la.
44 Of a trueth I say vnto you, that he wil make him ruler ouer all that he hath.
Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: mèt la va mete l' reskonsab tout byen l' yo.
45 But if that seruant say in his heart, My master doeth deferre his comming, and ginne to smite the seruants, and maydens, and to eate, and drinke, and to be drunken,
Men, si domestik sa a te di nan kè l': Mèt mwen ap fè reta. Li poko ap vini. Epi, li tonbe bat lòt sèvitè yo, fi kou gason, li rete ap plede manje, bwè jouk li sou;
46 The master of that seruant will come in a day when he thinketh not, and at an houre when he is not ware of, and will cut him off, and giue him his portion with the vnbeleeuers.
mèt domestik sa a va rive jou l' pa t'ap tann, yon lè li p'ap konnen. L'ap rachonnen l' anba kou, l'ap aji avè l' menm jan yo aji ak moun ki pa fè travay yo.
47 And that seruant that knewe his masters will, and prepared not himselfe, neither did according to his will, shalbe beaten with many stripes.
Yon domestik ki konnen sa mèt li vle, men ki pa janm pare epi ki pa fè sa mèt la vle, domestik sa a anba kou.
48 But he that knewe it not, and yet did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with fewe stripes: for vnto whomsoeuer much is giuen, of him shalbe much required, and to whom men much commit, the more of him will they aske.
Men, yon domestik ki pa konn sa mèt li vle, lèfini k'ap fè bagay ki merite pou yo bat li, y'ap bay domestik sa a de twa kou sèlman. Moun yo bay anpil, y'ap mande l' anpil tou. Moun yo mete reskonsab anpil bagay, y'ap egzije plis ankò nan men li.
49 I am come to put fire on the earth, and what is my desire, if it be already kindled?
Mwen vini jete yon dife sou latè. Mwen ta renmen wè dife sa a limen deja!
50 Notwithstanding I must be baptized with a baptisme, and how am I grieued, till it be ended?
Mwen gen yon batèm pou m' resevwa. Men, mwen twouve l' pran anpil tan pou l' rive.
51 Thinke ye that I am come to giue peace on earth? I tell you, nay, but rather debate.
Nou kwè mwen vin mete lapè sou latè. Mwen di nou: Non, mwen vin mete divizyon.
52 For from hencefoorth there shall be fiue in one house deuided, three against two, and two against three.
Depi koulye a, yon fanmi ki gen senk moun va divize, twa kont de, de kont twa.
53 The father shalbe deuided against ye sonne, and the sonne against the father: the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother: the mother in lawe against her daughter in lawe, and the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe.
Papa va leve kont pitit gason, pitit gason va leve kont papa, manman va leve kont pitit fi, pitit fi va leve kont manman, bèlmè va leve kont bèlfi, bèlfi va leve kont bèlmè.
54 Then said he to the people, When ye see a cloude rise out of the West, straightway ye say, A shower commeth: and so it is.
Jezi t'ap di foul moun yo tou: Lè nou wè yon nwaj ap leve bò kote solèy kouche a, lamenm nou di: Li pral fe lapli. Epi se sak rive vre.
55 And when ye see the South winde blowe, ye say, that it wilbe hoate: and it commeth to passe.
Lè nou wè van an soufle soti nan sid, nou di: Li pral fè cho. E se sak rive vre.
56 Hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the earth, and of the skie: but why discerne ye not this time?
Ipokrit, nou konn ki sans pou nou bay bagay k'ap pase sou tè a ak nan syèl la, poukisa atò nou pa konn ki sans pou nou bay bagay k'ap pase koulye a nan tan sa a?
57 Yea, and why iudge ye not of your selues what is right?
Poukisa nou pa chache konprann pou tèt pa nou sa nou dwe fè ki dwat?
58 While thou goest with thine aduersarie to the ruler, as thou art in the way, giue diligence in the way, that thou mayest be deliuered from him, least he drawe thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the iayler, and the iayler cast thee into prison.
Si yon moun pote plent lajistis pou ou, si nou tou de nou pral nan tribinal ansanm, pito n' chache antann nou pandan nou nan chemen. Si se pa sa, l'ap trennen ou devan jij la, jij la ap lage ou nan men lapolis, lapolis ap mete ou nan prizon.
59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast payed the vtmost mite.
M'ap di ou sa: ou p'ap soti nan prizon an tout tan ou pa peye dènye lajan ou dwe a.
