Luke 19
1 He entered and was passing through Jericho [Fragrant, Moon].
Jezi antre Jeriko, li t'ap travèse lavil la.
2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
Te gen yon nonm nan lavil la yo rele Zache. Li te chèf pèseptè kontribisyon yo, se te yon nonm rich.
3 He was trying to see who Yeshua [Salvation] was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
Li t'ap chache wè ki moun Jezi ye. Men, li te yon nonm ti tay. Akòz foul moun yo, li pa t' kapab rive wè li.
4 He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
Li pran kouri devan; li moute sou yon pye sikomò pou l' wè Jezi ki te gen pou l' te pase bò la.
5 When Yeshua [Salvation] came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
Lè Jezi rive la, li leve je l' anlè, li di l': Zache, fè vit desann. Fòk mwen fè ladesant lakay ou jòdi a.
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
Zache prese desann, li resevwa Jezi ak kè kontan.
7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
Lè yo wè sa, tout moun pran babye, yo t'ap di: Men nonm lan fè ladesant kay yon nonm ki plen peche.
8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
Zache leve kanpe, li di Jezi konsa: Koute, Mèt. Mwen pral bay pòv mwatye tout byen mwen genyen. Si mwen te twonpe yon moun pou m' pran lajan l', mwen pral rann li kat fwa lavalè.
9 Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Today, yishu'ah ·salvation· has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham [Father of a multitude].
Jezi di li: Jòdi a, kay sa a delivre paske nonm sa a se yon pitit Abraram li ye tou.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a vin chache sa ki te pèdi pou l' delivre yo.
11 As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem [City of peace], and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
Apre sa, Jezi rakonte yon parabòl pou moun ki te fèk tande pawòl sa yo. Paske li te toupre lavil Jerizalèm lan, yo te kwè gouvènman Bondye ki Wa a tapral parèt touswit.
12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to teshuvah ·completely return·.
Men sa l' di yo: Vwala, se te yon nonm gran fanmi ki te al nan yon peyi byen lwen. Li te al fè yo ba l' otorite pou l' wa, apre sa pou l' te tounen lakay li ankò.
13 He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina [500 sheckles; 12.5 lb; 5.67 kg] coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
Anvan li ale, li rele dis nan domestik li yo, li ba yo chak yon pyès lò, li di yo: Fè lajan an travay jouk mwen tounen.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
Men, pwòp moun peyi l' yo te rayi li. Yo voye kèk mesaje dèyè l' pou di: Nou pa vle nonm sa a pou wa nou.
15 “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
Malgre sa, yo bay nonm lan otorite pou l' wa, epi l' tounen nan peyi li. Lè sa a, li fè rele domestik li te bay lajan yo pou yo vin kote l': li te bezwen konnen ki benefis yo chak te fè.
16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina [50 sheckles; 1.25 lb; 0.57 kg] has made ten more minas [500 sheckles; 12.5 lb; 5.67 kg].’
Premye a vini, li di: Monwa, pyès lò ou te ban mwen an rapòte dis pyès ankò.
17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
Wa a di l': Sa se bèl bagay. Ou se yon bon domestik. M'ap mete ou gouvènen dis vil, paske ou te fè ti travay sa a byen.
18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina [50 sheckles; 1.25 lb; 0.57 kg], Lord, has made five minas [250 sheckles; 6.25 lb; 2.835 kg].’
Dezyèm lan vini, li di: Monwa, pyès lò ou te ban mwen an rapòte senk lòt pyès.
19 “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
Wa a di l': Ou menm, m'ap mete ou gouvènen senk vil.
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina [50 sheckles; 1.25 lb; 0.57 kg], which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
Yon lòt vini, li di: Monwa, men pyès lò ou la. Mwen te sere l' nan yon mouchwa.
21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’
Mwen te pè ou, paske ou se yon nonm ki di: ou pran sa ki pa pou ou, ou rekòlte sa ou pa simen.
22 “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down, and reaping that which I didn’t sow.
Wa a reponn: Gade jan ou se yon move domestik! M'ap jije ou ak pawòl ki sot nan bouch ou. Ou te konnen m' se yon nonm ki di, mwen pran sa ki pa pou mwen, mwen rekòlte sa m' pa simen,
23 Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
poukisa ou pa t' mete lajan m' labank; lè m' ta tounen, mwen ta wete l' ak yon enterè.
24 He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina [50 sheckles; 1.25 lb; 0.57 kg] away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas [500 sheckles; 12.5 lb; 5.67 kg].’
Li di moun ki te la yo: Wete lajan an nan men li. Bay nonm ki gen dis pyès yo li.
25 “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
Yo di l': Men, monwa, li gen dis pyès deja.
26 ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
Mwen di nou: Moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò; men moun ki pa gen anyen menm lan, y'a wete nan men l' menm ti sa l' te genyen an.
27 But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
Kanta lènmi m' yo ki pa t' vle mwen pou wa yo, mennen yo isit, touye yo la devan je mwen.
28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem [City of peace].
Apre Jezi fin pale konsa, li pran mache devan yo pou li al Jerizalèm.
29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany [House of affliction], at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
Lè Jezi rive toupre Betfaje ak Betani, bò ti mòn Oliv la, li pran de nan disip li yo, li voye yo devan,
30 saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.
li di yo konsa: Ale nan bouk ki devan nou an. Lè n'a rive, n'a jwenn yon jenn ti bourik mare; pesonn pa kò janm moute sou li. Lage l', mennen l' ban mwen.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
Nenpòt moun ki mande nou: Poukisa n'ap lage l'? N'a reponn: Se Mèt la ki bezwen li.
32 Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.
De disip yo ale; yo jwenn tout bagay jan Jezi te di yo a.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
Pandan y'ap lage ti bourik la, mèt li di yo: Poukisa n'ap lage ti bourik la?
34 They said, “The Lord needs it.”
Yo reponn: Se Mèt la ki bezwen li.
35 They brought it to Yeshua [Salvation]. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Yeshua [Salvation] on them.
Apre sa, yo mennen ti bourik la bay Jezi. Yo mete rad yo sou do ti bourik la, yo fè Jezi moute sou li.
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
Pandan Jezi t'ap vanse sou bourik la, moun yo tann rad yo atè sou tout chemen an.
37 As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
Lè l' rive toupre Jerizalèm, nan ladesant mòn Oliv la, yon sèl kontantman pran tout foul moun ki t'ap swiv li yo; yo pran fè lwanj Bondye byen fò pou tout mirak yo te wè.
38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of MarYah [Master Yahweh]! Shalom ·Complete peace· in heaven, and glory in the highest places!”
Yo t'ap di: benediksyon pou Wa ki vini nan non Mèt la! Kè poze pou tout moun nan syèl la! Lwanj pou Bondye!
39 Some of the Pharisees [Separated] from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
Te gen kèk farizyen nan mitan foul la. Yo di Jezi konsa: Mèt, manyè fè disip ou yo pe bouch yo non.
40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
Jezi reponn: M'ap di nou sa: si yo pe bouch yo, wòch yo va pran rele.
41 When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
Lè Jezi rive toupre lavil la, li wè l', li pran kriye sou li,
42 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your shalom ·complete peace·! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
li di: Si sèlman, jòdi a ou te kapab konprann, ou menm tou, bagay ki pou fè kè ou poze? Men, koulye a, yo kache; ou pa kapab wè yo!
43 For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
Gen yon tan k'ap vin sou ou: lè sa a, lènmi ou yo va sènen ou toupatou, y'a fèmen ou nèt, y'a kwense ou sou tout bò.
44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
Y'a detwi ou nèt ansanm ak tout moun ki nan mitan ou yo. Yo p'ap kite yon wòch kanpe sou yon lòt, paske ou pa t' rekonèt jou Bondye te vin pote ou sekou a.
45 He entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
Jezi antre nan tanp lan, li pran chase tout moun ki t'ap vann yo.
46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
Li di yo: Men sa ki ekri: Se pou kay mwen an yon kay kote moun vin lapriyè nan pye m'; men, nou menm, nou fè l' tounen kachèt vòlè.
47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the Torah-Teachers and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
Chak jou, Jezi te nan tanp lan, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Chèf prèt yo, dirèktè lalwa yo ak chèf pèp la t'ap chache ki jan pou yo touye li.
48 They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
Men, yo pa t' kapab jwenn yon jan pou yo te fè sa, paske tout pèp la t'ap koute sa l' t'ap di san yo pa pèdi yon mo.
