Luke 12
1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware all of you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Antre tan an, apre anpil milye moun te rasanble ansanm jiskaske youn t ap mache sou lòt, Li te kòmanse pale a disip Li yo dabò: “Veye ledven Farizyen yo ki se ipokrizi.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
“Men pa gen anyen ki kouvri ki p ap vin parèt, e ki kache ki p ap konnen.
3 Therefore whatsoever all of you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which all of you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Konsa, Nenpòt sa ke nou di nan tenèb va tande nan limyè, e sa nou te pale ak vwa ba, menm nan chanm pa anndan yo va pwoklame sou twati kay yo.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
“Mwen di nou, zanmi Mwen yo, pa pè sa yo ki kapab touye kò a, men apre sa pa gen plis ke yo kab fè.
5 But I will forewarn you whom all of you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
“Men Mwen avèti nou kilès pou nou krent; krent Sila a ki lè L fin touye, gen otorite pou jete nan lanfè; wi, Mwen di nou, krent Li! (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
“Èske senk zwazo pa vann pou de santim? Malgre sa, nanpwen youn nan yo ki bliye devan Bondye.
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: all of you are of more value than many sparrows.
Anverite, menm cheve nan tèt nou yo kontwole. Pa krent, nou gen bokou plis valè pase anpil zwazo.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
“Mwen di nou, tout sila yo ki konfese M devan lèzòm, Fis a Lòm nan va konfese l tou devan zanj a Bondye yo;
9 But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
men sila ki refize rekonèt Mwen devan lòm, va rejte devan zanj Bondye yo.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word (logos) against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit (pneuma) it shall not be forgiven.
“Epi Nenpòt moun ki pale yon mo kont Fis a Lòm nan, li va padone; men sila ki fè blasfèm kont Lespri Sen an, p ap padone.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take all of you no thought how or what thing all of you shall answer, or what all of you shall say:
“Lè yo mennen nou devan sinagòg yo, ak gwo chèf avèk otorite yo, pa twouble nou de kisa nou va pale kòm defans nou, ni kisa nou gen pou di;
12 For the Holy Spirit (pneuma) shall teach you in the same hour what all of you ought to say.
paske Lespri Sen an va montre nou nan menm lè sa a, kisa nou dwe di.”
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Yon moun nan foul la te di Li: “Mèt, pale frè m nan pou divize eritaj la avè m.”
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Men Li te di li: “Mesye, kilès ki te mete M jij oswa medyatè antre nou?”
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
Answit Li te di yo: “Fè atansyon, e veye kont tout kalite lanvi; paske menm lè yon moun gen anpil richès, lavi li se pa sa li posede.”
16 And he spoke a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Konsa, Li te bay yo yon parabòl: “Tè a pou yon sèten nonm rich te trè bon, e te pwodwi anpil.”
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
“Epi li te kòmanse reflechi avèk pwòp tèt li: ‘Kisa pou m ta fè; akoz ke m pa gen depo pou mete rekòlt mwen yo?’
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
“Answit li te di: Men kisa m ap fè; m ap retire tout depo ke m genyen yo, e m ap bati pi gwo pou mete tout rekòlt mwen yo.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
Epi mwen va di a nanm mwen: ‘Nanm, ou gen anpil byen rezève pou anpil ane; pran repo ou, manje, bwè, e rejwi ou.’”
20 But God said unto him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?
“Men Bondye te di l: ‘Alò nonm ensanse! Menm nwit sa a, nanm ou ap rachte de ou; e koulye a, kilès k ap mèt a sa ou prepare yo?’
21 So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
“Konsa se mesye la kiranmase trezò li pou li menm, men ki pa rich anvè Bondye.”
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what all of you shall eat; neither for the body, what all of you shall put on.
Li te di sa a disip Li yo: “Pou rezon sa a, Mwen di nou, pa twouble pou lavi, pou sa nou va manje, ni pou kò nou, konsi, pou kijan nou ap abiye nou.
23 The life is more than food, and the body is more than raiment.
Paske lavi plis ke manje, e kò a plis ke vètman.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are all of you better than the fowls?
“Konsidere kòbo yo, paske yo pa simen, ni yo pa rekòlte; epi yo pa gen depo ni pwotèj, men Bondye bay yo manje. Konbyen plis valè nou genyen pase zwazo yo.
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
“Epi kilès nan nou ki kab fè kè twouble a ogmante menm yon èdtan nan longè lavi li?
26 If all of you then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take all of you thought for the rest?
Si pou sa nou pa kapab fè menm yon ti bagay, poukisa nou fè kè twouble pou lòt bagay?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
“Konsidere flè lis yo, jan yo grandi; yo pa travay ni fè twal, men Mwen di nou ke menmSalomon nan tout glwa li pa t abiye li menm tankou youn nan sa yo.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O all of you of little faith?
Men si Bondye abiye zèb nan chan yo ki jodi a vivan, e demen ap jete nan founèz la, konbyen anplis li va abiye nou, o moun ti lafwa piti!
29 And seek not all of you what all of you shall eat, or what all of you shall drink, neither be all of you of doubtful mind.
“Konsa, pa mande kisa nou va manje, ni kisa nou va bwè, e pakontinye enkyete nou.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that all of you have need of these things.
Paske tout bagay sa yo, tout nasyon nan mond lan chache yo avèk lanvi pa yo; men Papa nou konnen ke nou bezwen bagay sa yo.
31 But rather seek all of you the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Men chache wayòm Li, e bagay sa yo va vini a nou tou.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
“Pa krent, ti bann nan, paske Papa nou te chwazi avèk jwa pou bannou wayòm nan.
33 Sell that all of you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
“Vann sa nou posede, e bay kado lacharite. Fè pou kont nou bous ki p ap janm ize, yon trezò ki p ap kab gate nan syèl la, kote vòlè pa pwoche, ni papiyon detwi.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Paske kote trezò nou ye, se la kè nou va ye tou.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
“Rete abiye tout tan, byen parèt, avèk lanp nou toujou limen.
36 And all of you yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately.
“Fè tankou mesye k ap tann mèt yo lè l retounen apre fèt maryaj la, pou yo kapab ouvri pòt la imedyatman lè l fin frape.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to food, and will come forth and serve them.
Beni se esklav sila yo ke mèt la va twouve k ap byen veye lè l vini. Anverite Mwen di nou keli va mare senti li pou sèvi yo. Li va fè yo repoze sou tab la, e li va vini pou bay yo sèvis.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Menm si l vini nan dezyèm oubyen twazyèm lè nwit lan, e li twouve yo konsa, se beni esklav sa a va ye.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
“Men, byen konnen sa, ke si mèt kay la te konnen a kilè vòlè a t ap vini, li pa t ap kite l kase kay la.
40 Be all of you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when all of you think not.
Nou tou, rete vijilan; paske Fis a Lòm nan ap vini nan yon lè ke nou pa ta sipoze.
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speak you this parable unto us, or even to all?
“Pierre te di: ‘Senyè, èske W ap bay parabòl sa pou nou, oubyen pou tout lòt yo tou?’”
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
Senyè a te reponn: “Alò, kilès ki se jeran fidèl e abil ke mèt li va mete an chaj tout lòt sèvitè yo, pou bay yo manje yo nan lè li dwe fèt?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
Beni se esklav sila a ke mèt la twouve ap fè sa lè l vini an.
44 Truthfully I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
Anverite Mwen di nou ke li va mete li an chaj de tout byen li yo.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the male servants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
“Men si esklav la di nan kè l: Mèt mwen ap mize pou rive, epi li kòmanse bat esklav yo, ni fanm, ni gason, epi manje, bwè, e vin sou;
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
mèt esklav sa a va vini nan yon jou ke li pa prevwa, nan yon lè ke li pa konnen, e li va koupe li an mòso, e mete li yon kote avèk enkwayan yo.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
“Alò esklav sa a ki te konnen volonte a mèt li a; men pa t prepare ni aji an akò avèk volonte l, va resevwa anpil kout fwèt.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Men sila ki pa t konnen, men te fè zak ki te merite kou, p ap resevwa plis ke kèk. “Pou tout sila yo ki te resevwa anpil konprann, anpil ap egzije de yo; e a sila ki te konfye anpil, a li menm y ap mande menm plis.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
“Mwen vini pou voye dife sou latè; e kijan Mwen ta kontan si li te deja limen!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
“Men Mwen gen yon batèm pou M pase, e kijan sa twouble M jiskaske li fin acheve!
51 Suppose all of you that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
“Èske nou sipoze ke Mwen te vini pou bay lapè sou latè? Mwen di nou non, men olye sa, divizyon.
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Paske depi koulye a, senk moun nan yon kay va divize, twa kont de, e de kont twa.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Yo va divize, papa kont fis, e fis kont papa; manman kont fi, e fi kont manman; bèlmè kont bèlfi, e bèlfi kont bèlmè.”
54 And he said also to the people, When all of you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately all of you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.
Li t ap di anplis a foul la: “Lè nou wè yon nwaj k ap leve nan lwès, imedyatman nou di: ‘L ap fè lapli’, e se konsa sa rive.
55 And when all of you see the south wind blow, all of you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.
Epi lè nou wè yon van sid k ap soufle, nou di: ‘L ap fè chalè’, e se konsa sa rive.
56 All of you hypocrites, all of you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that all of you do not discern this time?
Ipokrit nou ye! Nou konnen kijan pou nou analize aparans a tè a, avèk syèl la, men poukisa nou pa analize tan prezan sila a?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge all of you not what is right?
““Poukisa nou menm pou kont nou pa jije sa ki bon?
58 When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are in the way, give diligence that you may be delivered from him; lest he hale you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.
Paske pandan nou ap rive devan majistra avèk advèsè nou, menm nan wout la, fè yon efò pou antann avè l; pou li pa mennen nou devan jij la, e jij la livre nou a ofisye jistis la, k ap jete nou nan prizon.
59 I tell you, you shall not depart thence, till you have paid the very last mite.
Mwen di nou, nou p ap sòti la jiskaske nou fin peye dènye santim nan.”
