Lik 1
1 Teofil chèf mwen, anpil moun te seye ekri istwa tout evènman ki te pase nan mitan nou yo.
Forsothe for manye men enforceden to ordeyne the tellyng of thingis, whiche ben fillid in vs,
2 Yo te rakonte yo jan nou te aprann yo nan bouch moun ki te wè yo ak pwòp je yo depi nan konmansman, moun ki te resevwa lòd mache fè konnen pawòl Bondye a.
as thei that seyn atte the bigynnyng, and weren ministris of the word,
3 Se konsa, mwen menm tou, mwen chache konnen tout bagay sa yo byen depi nan konmansman yo. Koulye a, mwen kwè se yon bon bagay pou m' ekri yo tout, yonn apre lòt, jan sa te pase a pou ou menm tou, chèf mwen.
bitaken, it is seen also to me, hauynge alle thingis diligentli bi ordre, to write to thee,
4 Konsa wa kapab rekonèt tou sa yo te moutre ou yo se verite yo ye.
thou best Theofile, that thou knowe the treuthe of tho wordis, of whiche thou art lerned.
5 Nan tan Ewòd te wa nan peyi Jide a, te gen yon prèt yo te rele Zakari. Li te fè pati gwoup prèt Abiya yo. Madanm li te rele Elizabèt: se te yon moun ras Arawon, ansyen granprèt la.
In the daies of Eroude, kyng of Judee, ther was a prest, Sakarie bi name, of the sorte of Abia, and his wijf was of the douytris of Aaron, and hir name was Elizabeth.
6 Yo tou de te mache dwat devan Bondye, yo t'ap swiv kòmandman Mèt la ansanm ak tout lalwa a san ankenn repwòch.
And bothe weren iust bifor God, goynge in alle the maundementis and iustifiyngis of the Lord, withouten pleynt.
7 Men, yo pa t' gen pitit paske Elizabèt pa t' kapab fè pitit. Yo tou de te fin vye granmoun.
And thei hadden no child, for Elizabeth was bareyn, and bothe weren of grete age in her daies.
8 Yon jou, Zakari te desèvis kou prèt devan Bondye, paske se te tou gwoup pa l' la.
And it bifel, that whanne Zacarie schulde do the office of preesthod, in the ordre of his cours tofor God,
9 Dapre koutim sèvis la, yo te tire osò pou chwazi yonn nan prèt yo pou antre nan tanp Mèt la pou ofri lansan an. Twouve fwa sa a, se Zakari ki te soti.
aftir the custome of the preesthod, he wente forth bi lot, and entride in to the temple, to encense.
10 Tout mas pèp la t'ap lapriyè deyò, antan Zakari menm te anndan ap ofri lansan an.
And al the multitude of the puple was with outforth, and preiede in the our of encensyng.
11 Vwala, yon zanj Bondye parèt devan Zakari; li te kanpe sou bò dwat lotèl kote yo boule lansan an.
And an aungel of the Lord apperide to hym, and stood on the riythalf of the auter of encense.
12 Lè Zakari wè l', li sezi; li te pè anpil.
And Zacarie seynge was afraied, and drede fel vpon hym.
13 Men zanj lan di li: Pa pè, Zakari. Bondye te tande lapriyè ou la. Elizabèt, madanm ou, pral ba ou yon pitit gason; ou va rele l' Jan.
And the aungel seide to hym, Zacarie, drede thou not; for thi preyer is herd, and Elizabeth, thi wijf, schal bere to thee a sone, and his name schal be clepid Joon.
14 Ala kontan wa kontan lè pitit sa a va fèt! Anpil lòt moun va kontan tou lè sa a.
And ioye and gladyng schal be to thee; and many schulen `haue ioye in his natyuyte.
15 L'ap yon grannèg devan Bondye, Mèt la; li p'ap bwè ni diven, ni ankenn alkòl. Depi nan vant manman li, l'ap anba pouvwa Sentespri a.
For he schal be greet bifor the Lord, and he schal not drynke wyn and sidir, and he schal be fulfillid with the Hooli Goost yit of his modir wombe.
16 L'ap fè anpil moun nan pèp Izrayèl la tounen vin jwenn Mèt la, Bondye yo a.
And he schal conuerte many of the children of Israel to her Lord God;
17 L'ap mache devan Bondye nan menm lespri ak menm pouvwa pwofèt Eli te genyen an. L'ap fè papa vin byen ankò ak pitit; l'ap fè moun ki rebèl rive gen konprann tankou moun k'ap obeyi Bondye, l'ap pare yon pèp byen dispoze pou resevwa Mèt la.
and he schal go bifor hym in the spirit and the vertu of Helie; and he schal turne the hertis of the fadris in to the sones, and men out of bileue to the prudence of iust men, to make redi a perfit puple to the Lord.
18 Zakari di zanj lan konsa: Ki jan pou m' fè kwè sa w'ap di m' la a se vre? Ala mwen fin vye, madanm mwen fin vye granmoun tou.
And Zacarie seide to the aungel, Wherof schal Y wite this? for Y am eld, and my wijf hath gon fer in to hir daies.
19 Zanj lan reponn li: Mwen se Gabriyèl ki toujou kanpe nan sèvis devan Bondye. Se Bondye menm ki voye m' pale avè ou, pou m' pote bon nouvèl sa a ba ou.
And the aungel answeride, and seide to hym, For Y am Gabriel, that stonde niy bifor God; and Y am sent to thee to speke, and to euangelize to thee these thingis.
20 Men, paske ou pa kwè pawòl mwen yo ki gen pou rive nan tan yo, ou pral vin bèbè, ou p'ap ka pale jouk jou bagay sa yo va rive.
And lo! thou schalt be doumbe, and thou schalt not mow speke til in to the dai, in which these thingis schulen be don; for thou hast not bileued to my wordis, whiche schulen be fulfillid in her tyme.
21 Tout tan sa a, pèp la menm t'ap tann Zakari; yo te sezi wè jan l' te mize nan tanp lan.
And the puple was abidynge Zacarie, and thei wondriden, that he tariede in the temple.
22 Men, lè Zakari soti, li pa t' kapab pale avèk yo. Lè sa a yo vin konprann li te gen yon vizyon nan tanp lan. Li t'ap fè yo yon bann siy ak men l', men li pa t' kapab pale.
And he yede out, and myyte not speke to hem, and thei knewen that he hadde seyn a visioun in the temple. And he bikenyde to hem, and he dwellide stille doumbe.
23 Lè tan sèvis li fini, Zakari tounen lakay li.
And it was don, whanne the daies of his office weren fulfillid, he wente in to his hous.
24 Kèk tan apre sa, Elizabèt, madanm li, vin ansent. Li fè senk mwa kache lakay; li t'ap di:
And aftir these daies Elizabeth, his wijf, conseyuede, and hidde hir fyue monethis, and seide,
25 Gade sa Mèt la fè pou mwen non! Se koulye a sa fè l' plezi pou l' wete dezonè m' devan lèzòm.
For so the Lord dide to me in the daies, in whiche he bihelde, to take awei my repreef among men.
26 Sou sizyèm mwa gwosès Elizabèt la, Bondye voye zanj Gabriyèl nan yon vil nan peyi Galile yo rele Nazarèt.
But in the sixte moneth the aungel Gabriel was sent fro God in to a citee of Galilee, whos name was Nazareth,
27 Bondye te voye l' kay yon jennfi ki te fiyanse ak yon nonm yo rele Jozèf. Jozèf sa a, se te moun ras David. Yo te rele jennfi a Mari.
to a maidyn, weddid to a man, whos name was Joseph, of the hous of Dauid; and the name of the maidun was Marie.
28 Zanj lan antre lakay Mari, li di li: Bonjou, Mari, ou menm ki resevwa anpil favè. Mèt la avèk ou.
And the aungel entride to hir, and seide, Heil, ful of grace; the Lord be with thee; blessid be thou among wymmen.
29 Lè Mari tande pawòl sa yo, tèt li te boulvèse, li t'ap mande nan kè l' kisa bonjou sa a te vle di.
And whanne sche hadde herd, sche was troublid in his word, and thouyte what maner salutacioun this was.
30 Men, zanj lan di li: Pa pè, Mari. Ou jwenn favè nan men Bondye.
And the aungel seide to hir, Ne drede thou not, Marie, for thou hast foundun grace anentis God.
31 Ou pral vin ansent, ou va fè yon pitit gason. Wa rele l' Jezi.
Lo! thou schalt conceyue in wombe, and schalt bere a sone, and thou schalt clepe his name Jhesus.
32 L'ap vin yon grannèg, y'a rele li Pitit Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. Mèt la, Bondye nou, va fè l' wa tankou David, gran granpapa li.
This schal be greet, and he schal be clepid the sone of the Hiyeste; and the Lord God schal yeue to hym the seete of Dauid, his fadir,
and he schal regne in the hous of Jacob with outen ende, and of his rewme schal be noon ende. (aiōn g165)
34 Mari di zanj lan konsa: Ki jan sa pral fè rive? Ala mwen poko janm konn gason!
And Marie seide to the aungel, On what maner schal this thing be doon, for Y knowe not man?
35 Zanj lan reponn li: Sentespri a pral vin sou ou; pouvwa Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la pral kouvri ou tankou yon lonbraj. Se pou sa tou, tipitit ki pral fèt la pral viv apa pou Bondye, y'a rele l' Pitit Bondye.
And the aungel answeride, and seide to hir, The Hooly Goost schal come fro aboue in to thee, and the vertu of the Hiyeste schal ouerschadewe thee; and therfor that hooli thing that schal be borun of thee, schal be clepid the sone of God.
36 Ou konnen Elizabèt, fanmi ou lan? Atout li fin vye a, men l' ansent yon pitit gason. Yo te di l' pa t' kapab fè pitit, men li deja sou sis mwa gwosès.
And lo! Elizabeth, thi cosyn, and sche also hath conceyued a sone in hir eelde, and this moneth is the sixte to hir that is clepid bareyn;
37 Tou sa rive paske pa gen anyen Bondye pa ka fè.
for euery word schal not be inpossible anentis God.
38 Mari di li: Men mwen, se sèvant Mèt la mwen ye. Mwen swate pou sa rive m' jan ou di a. Epi zanj lan kite li.
And Marie seide, Lo! the handmaydyn of the Lord; be it don to me aftir thi word. And the aungel departide fro hir.
39 Nan menm epòk sa a, Mari soti, li pran chemen pou l' rive byen vit nan yon bouk nan mòn peyi Jide a.
And Marie roos vp in tho daies, and wente with haaste in to the mounteyns, in to a citee of Judee.
40 Li antre lakay Zakari, li di Elizabèt bonjou.
And sche entride in to the hous of Zacarie, and grette Elizabeth.
41 Lè Elizabèt tande Mari di l' bonjou, pitit la pran sote nan vant li. Lamenm Elizabèt vin anba pouvwa Sentespri.
And it was don, as Elizabeth herde the salutacioun of Marie, the yong child in hir wombe gladide. And Elizabeth was fulfillid with the Hooli Goost,
42 Li pran pale byen fò, li di konsa: Nan tout fanm ki sou latè, ou menm ou se yon fanm Bondye beni anpil. Pitit ki nan vant ou a tou Bondye beni li.
and criede with a greet vois, and seide, Blessid be thou among wymmen, and blessid be the fruyt of thi wombe.
43 Kisa m' ye menm, pou manman Mèt mwen vin rann mwen vizit?
And whereof is this thing to me, that the modir of my Lord come to me?
44 Gade! Bonjou ou la poko rive nan zòrèy mwen, pitit la pran sote nan vant mwen tèlman li kontan.
For lo! as the voice of thi salutacioun was maad in myn eeris, the yong child gladide in ioye in my wombe.
45 Ou se yon fanm beni! Paske, ou te kwè tout pawòl Mèt la voye di ou yo gen pou rive vre.
And blessid be thou, that hast bileued, for thilke thingis that ben seid of the Lord to thee, schulen be parfitli don.
46 Lè sa a Mari di: Nanm mwen ap chante pou Mèt la ki gen pouvwa.
And Marie seide, Mi soule magnyfieth the Lord,
47 Lespri m' pran plezi nan Bondye ki delivrans mwen.
and my spirit hath gladid in God, myn helthe.
48 Paske li voye je l' sou mwen, yon sèvant ki soumèt devan li. Wi, depi koulye a, epi pou tout tan, tout moun pral di: Ou se yon fanm Bondye beni!
For he hath biholdun the mekenesse of his handmaidun.
49 Paske Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a fè anpil bèl bagay pou mwen. Non li, se yon non pou tout moun respekte.
For lo! of this alle generaciouns schulen seie that Y am blessid. For he that is myyti hath don to me grete thingis, and his name is hooli.
50 L'ap toujou gen pitye pou tout moun ki gen krentif pou li.
And his mercy is fro kynrede in to kynredes, to men that dreden hym.
51 Li fè lèzòm santi fòs ponyèt li. Li fè moun ki gen lògèy ak gwo lide nan kè yo pèdi tèt yo.
He made myyt in his arme, he scaterede proude men with the thouyte of his herte.
52 Li desann chèf ki te byen chita nan fotèy yo. Li leve moun ki pa gen pretansyon yo.
He sette doun myyti men fro sete, and enhaunside meke men.
53 Li bay moun ki grangou yo anpil byen. Li voye rich yo ale san anyen.
He hath fulfillid hungri men with goodis, and he hath left riche men voide.
54 Li vin pote sekou bay pèp Izrayèl k'ap sèvi l' la. Li pa bliye fè wè jan li toujou gen kè sansib,
He, hauynge mynde of his mercy, took Israel, his child;
as he hath spokun to oure fadris, to Abraham and to his seed, in to worldis. (aiōn g165)
56 Mari pase twa mwa konsa ak Elizabèt. Apre sa, li tounen lakay li.
And Marie dwellide with hir, as it were thre monethis, and turnede ayen in to hir hous.
57 Lè jou pou Elizabèt akouche a rive, li fè yon pitit gason.
But the tyme of beryng child was fulfillid to Elizabeth, and sche bare a sone.
58 Vwazinaj ak fanmi l' yo vin konnen jan Mèt la te fè Elizabèt yon gwo favè. Yo te kontan pou li.
And the neiyboris and cosyns of hir herden, that the Lord hadde magnyfied his mercy with hir; and thei thankiden hym.
59 Sou wit jou, yo te vin pou sikonsi pitit la; yo te vle rele l' Zakari, menm non ak papa li.
And it was don in the eiyte dai, thei camen to circumcide the child; and thei clepiden hym Zacarie, bi the name of his fadir.
60 Men, manman l' di yo: Non, se Jan pou l' rele.
And his moder answeride, and seide, Nay, but he schal be clepid Joon.
61 Yo di l' konsa: Men, pa gen pesonn nan fanmi ou ki rele Jan.
And thei seiden to hir, For no man is in thi kynrede, that is clepid this name.
62 Yo fè papa a siy pou mande l' ki non li ta vle bay pitit la.
And thei bikeneden to his fadir, what he wolde that he were clepid.
63 Zakari mande yo yon ti tablo, epi li ekri: Se Jan ki non li. Yo tout te sezi.
And he axynge a poyntil, wroot, seiynge, Joon is his name.
64 Menm lè a bouch li louvri, lang li lage, li t'ap pale, li t'ap chante pou Bondye byen fò.
And alle men wondriden. And anoon his mouth was openyd, and his tunge, and he spak, and blesside God.
65 Tout moun ki te nan vwazinaj la te pè; nouvèl la t'ap mache bouch an bouch nan tout mòn Jidè a.
And drede was maad on alle her neiyboris, and alle these wordis weren pupplischid on alle the mounteyns of Judee.
66 Tout moun ki te tande pawòl sa yo t'ap kalkile nan kè yo; yonn t'ap di lòt: Kisa pitit sa a pral ye menm? Pouvwa Bondye a te avèk ti pitit la tout bon vre.
And alle men that herden puttiden in her herte, and seiden, What maner child schal this be? For the hoond of the Lord was with hym.
67 Zakari, papa Jan, vin anba pouvwa Sentespri. Latou, li pran fè konnen pawòl Bondye te mete nan bouch li:
And Zacarie, his fadir, was fulfillid with the Hooli Goost, and prophesiede,
68 Ann chante pou Mèt la, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Paske, li vin sove pèp li a, li delivre yo anba esklavaj.
and seide, Blessid be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visitid, and maad redempcioun of his puple.
69 Li voye yon moun avek gwo pouvwa pou delivre nou. Se nan laras David, sèvitè Bondye a, li soti.
And he hath rerid to vs an horn of heelthe in the hous of Dauid, his child.
As he spak bi the mouth of hise hooli prophetis, that weren fro the world. (aiōn g165)
71 Li te pwomèt li t'ap delivre nou anba lènmi nou yo, ak anba tout moun ki rayi nou yo.
Helthe fro oure enemyes, and fro the hoond of alle men that hatiden vs.
72 Se konsa la gen pitye pou zansèt nou yo. Li chonje kontra li menm Bondye te pase ak yo a.
To do merci with oure fadris, and to haue mynde of his hooli testament.
73 Dapre sèman li te fè bay Abraram, zansèt nou an.
The greet ooth that he swoor to Abraham, oure fadir, to yyue hym silf to vs.
74 Li te di l' konsa: Lè la fin delivre nou anba lènmi nou yo, la fè nou sèvi l' san nou p'ap bezwen pè.
That we with out drede delyuered fro the hoond of oure enemyes,
75 Wi, la fè nou viv apa pou Bondye, la fè nou mache dwat devan li chak jou nan lavi nou.
serue to hym, in hoolynesse and riytwisnesse bifor hym in alle oure daies.
76 Kanta ou menm, pitit mwen, y'a rele ou: Pwofèt Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. Paske, wa pran devan Mèt la pou pare chemen an pou li.
And thou, child, schalt be clepid the prophete of the Hiyest; for thou schalt go bifor the face of the Lord, to make redi hise weies.
77 Ou pral moutre pèp la ki jan l'ap delivre yo, ki jan l'ap padonnen peche yo.
To yyue scyence of helthe to his puple, in to remyssioun of her synnes;
78 Tou sa, paske Bondye nou an gen kè sansib, li renmen nou anpil. L'ap fè yon limyè soti anwo vin klere nou tankou solèy k'ap leve.
bi the inwardnesse of the merci of oure God, in the whiche he spryngynge vp fro an hiy hath visitid vs.
79 Li gen pou l' klere tout moun k'ap viv nan fènwa ak nan lonbraj lanmò. Li gen pou l' fè nou mache nan chemen k'ap ban nou kè poze a.
To yyue liyt to hem that sitten in derknessis and in schadewe of deeth; to dresse oure feet in to the weie of pees.
80 Ti pitit la menm t'ap grandi, lespri l' t'ap devlope. Li te rete nan dezè a jouk jou pou l' te parèt an piblik devan pèp Izrayèl la.
And the child wexide, and was coumfortid in spirit, and was in desert placis `til to the dai of his schewing to Israel.
