Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him.
Li te rive ke lè L te antre lakay a youn nan dirijan Farizyen yo, nan Saba a pou manje pen, yo t ap veye L de prè.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.
Epi la devan li, te gen yon nonm ki t ap soufri avèk maladi kò anfle.
3 And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
Konsa, Jésus te reponn e te pale avèk avoka ak Farizyen yo. Li te mande: “Èske se pèmi pou geri nan Saba a oubyen non?”
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
Men yo te rete san pale. Li te kenbe li, geri li, e te voye l ale.
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have a donkey or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?
Li te di yo: “Kilès nan nou k ap gen yon fis, oswa yon bèf tonbe nan yon pwi, ki p ap imedyatman rale l sòti nan yon jou Saba?”
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
Epi yo pa t kapab reponn sa menm.
7 And he put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the best places; saying to them,
Alò, Li te kòmanse pale an parabòl a sila ki te envite yo, lè L te wè jan yo t ap chwazi chita nan plas donè sou tab la. Li t ap di yo:
8 When thou art invited by any man to a wedding, sit not down in the best place; lest a more honourable man than thou be invited by him;
“Lè nou envite pa yon moun nan yon fèt maryaj, pa pran plas donè paske yon moun pi distenge pase ou kapab deja envite pa mèt la.
9 And he that invited thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest place.
Epi sila ki te envite nou toulède a ka petèt vin di ou: ‘Bay plas ou a nonm sila a, e answit akgwo wont, w ap vin okipe dènye plas la’.
10 But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour in the presence of them that sit eating with thee.
“Men, lè nou envite, ale chita nan dènye plas la, dekwa ke lè sila a ki te envite nou an vini, li kapab di nou: ‘Zanmivin pi devan’. Konsa, nou va gen onè nan zye a tout moun ki chita sou menm tab sa a avèk nou.
11 For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
“Paske tout sila yo ki leve tèt yo va vin desann, e sila yo ki desann tèt yo, va vin leve.”
12 Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou givest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
Anplis, Li te ale di a sila a ki te envite L la: “Lè w ap fè yon bankè oswa yon soupe, pa envite ni zanmi ou, ni frè ou, ni fanmi ou, ni vwazen ki rich yo, otreman yo ta kab envite ou anretou, e sa va sèvi kòm rekonpans a ou menm.
13 But when thou givest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
“Men lè w ap fè yon resepsyon, envite malere yo, sila ki bwate yo, ki kokobe yo, ak avèg yo.
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Konsa ou va beni, paske yo pa gen mwayen pou remèt ou sa; paske yo va remèt ou sa nanrezirèksyon moun ki jis yo.”
15 And when one of them that sat eating with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Lè youn nan sila ki te chita sou tab avèk Li yo te tande sa, li te di Li: “Beni se tout moun ki va manje pen nan wayòm Bondye a!”
16 Then said he to him, A certain man gave a great supper, and invited many:
Men Li te di li: “Yonmesye t ap fè yon gwo bankè, e li te envite anpil moun.
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were invited, Come; for all things are now ready.
Nan lè bankè a, li te voye esklav Li pou di sila ki te envite yo: ‘Vini! Tout bagay pare koulye a.’
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
“Men yo tout ansanm te kòmanse fè eskiz. “Premye a te di li: ‘Mwen achte yon mòso tè, e Mwen bezwen ale wè l. Silvouplè, eskize mwen.’
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them out: I pray thee have me excused.
“Yon lòt te di: ‘Mwen fenk achte senk pè bèf kabwa, e mwen pral eseye yo. Silvouplè, eskize mwen.’
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
“Epi Yon lòt te di: ‘Mwen fenk marye ak yon fi, e pou rezon sa a, mwen pa kapab vini.’
21 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the maimed, and the lame, and the blind.
“Esklav la te retounen rapòte sa a mèt li. Answit mèt kay la te vin fache, e te di a esklav li a: ‘Ale depi koulye a nan tout lari ak wout vil yo, e mennen isit la malere yo, bwate yo, avèg ak kokobe yo.’
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
“Konsa, esklav la te di: “Mèt, sa ou te mande gen tan fèt, e malgre sa, gen espas toujou.
23 And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
“Mèt la te di a esklav la: ‘Ale nan gran ri yo ak sou kote kloti yo, epi fòse yo antre, pou kay mwen an kapab byen plen.
24 For I say to you, That none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.
Paske mwen di nou ke pa gen nan moun sila yo ki te envite k ap goute manje mwen an.’”
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them,
Alò, gwo foul la t ap prale avè l, e Li te vire di yo:
26 If any man cometh to me, and hateth not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
“Si Nenpòt moun vini a Mwen, e li pa rayi pwòp papa li, avèk manman li, ak madanm, ak pitit, frè, sè, wi, e menm pwòp vi li, li pa kapab disip Mwen.
27 And whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Nenpòt moun kipa pote pwòp kwa li pou swiv Mwen, li pa kapab disip Mwen.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he hath sufficient to finish it?
“Paske kilès nan nou lè li vle bati yon tou fòterès, pa chita avan pou kalkile frè yo pou wè si li gen kont mwayen pou fin fè l?
29 Lest perhaps, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
Otreman, lè l fin fè fondasyon an, e li p ap kab fin fè l, tout sila k ap obsève l yo ap vin pase l nan betiz.
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Yo va di: ‘Mesye sa a te kòmanse bati, e li pa kapab fini.’
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
“Oubyen ki wa, lè li pati pou rankontre yon lòt wa nan batay, li p ap dabòkalkile si l ap gen ase de fòs avèk di-mil moun pou rankontre lòt la k ap vin kont li avèk ven-mil?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth a delegation, and desireth conditions of peace.
Otreman, pandan lòt la toujou lwen, l ap voye yon delegasyon pou mande kondisyon pou fè lapè.
33 So likewise, whoever he is of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
“Konsa, nanpwen youn nan nou ki kapab disip Mwen si li parenonse ak tout sa li posede.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt hath lost its savour, how shall it be seasoned?
“Konsa, sèl la bon; men si menmsèl la, pèdi gou li, avèk kisa li va reprann gou l.
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Li initil ni pou tè a, ni pou fimye a; fòk li jete. Sila ki gen zòrèy la, kite l tande.”
