Lik 11
1 Yon lè, Jezi t'ap lapriyè yon kote. Lè l' fin lapriyè, yonn nan disip li yo di li: Mèt, moutre nou lapriyè tankou Jan te moutre patizan li yo.
It happened he was praying in a certain place, and when he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, "Master, teach us how to pray, just as Johntaught his disciples."
2 Jezi di yo: Lè n'ap lapriyè, men sa pou n' di: Papa, nou mande pou non ou toujou respekte. vin tabli gouvènman ou lan.
So he said to them. "When you pray, say, "Father, hallowed be thy name; May thy kingdom come,
3 Chak jou, ban nou manje nou bezwen pou jounen an.
"Give us day by day our bread for the coming day;
4 Padonnen peche nou yo, paske nou menm tou nou padonnen tout moun ki fè nou mal. Pa kite nou nan pozisyon pou n' tonbe nan tantasyon.
"Forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone who has offended us; "And bring us not into temptation."
5 Jezi di yo ankò: Sipoze yonn nan nou ta gen yon zanmi, li al jwenn zanmi an nan mitan lannwit pou l' di li: Zanmi, prete m' twa biswit.
He also said to them. "Suppose you have a friend and you go to him, ‘My friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 Mwen gen yon zanmi ki sot nan vwayaj ki fèk rive lakay mwen. Mwen pa gen anyen pou m' ba li.
"for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
7 Sipoze nonm lan rete anndan lakay li, li reponn li: Kite m' an repo! Pòt la gen tan fèmen akle, ni mwen ni timoun yo, nou tout kouche deja. Mwen pa kapab leve pou m' ba ou biswit yo.
"and he from indoors shall answer. ‘Do not pester me. The door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give to you.’
8 M'ap di nou sa: Menm si li pa ta leve pou l' ba li biswit yo paske li se zanmi l', li gen pou l' leve pou l' ba li tou sa li bezwen, si zanmi an pa wont kontinye mande li.
"I tell you that, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunate persistence he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
9 Mwen menm mwen di nou: Mande, y'a ban nou, chache n'a jwenn, frape y'a louvri pou nou.
"So I say to you. "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.
10 Paske, nenpòt moun ki mande, la resevwa; moun ki chache, la jwenn; y'a louvri pou moun k'ap frape.
"For he that asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door shall be opened.
11 Eske yonn nan nou ki papa pitit ta bay pitit li yon koulèv si pitit la mande l' yon pwason?
"What father is there among you who, if his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish will give him instead a serpent?
12 Osinon, èske la ba li yon èskòpyon si li mande l' yon ze?
"Or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
13 Si nou menm ki mechan jan nou mechan an, nou konn bay pitit nou bon bagay, se pa Papa nou ki nan syèl la ki pou ta refize ban nou Sentespri l', lè nou mande l' li.
"If you give good gifts to your children, how much more shall the Father who is in heaven give the Holy spirit to those that ask him!"
14 Jezi t'ap chase yon move lespri ki te rann yon nonm bèbè. Lè move lespri a soti, bèbè a pale. Foul moun yo menm te rete men nan bouch.
Once he was casting out a dumb demon, and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people wondered.
15 Men, gen kèk moun ki t'ap di: Se Bèlzeboul, chèf move lespri yo, ki ba l' pouvwa chase move lespri yo.
But some of them said, "It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he cast out demons."
16 Gen lòt ki te vle pran l' nan pèlen: yo mande l' pou l' fè yon mirak ki pou moutre se Bondye ki ba l' pouvwa sa a.
Others, tempting him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.
17 Jezi menm te konnen sak te nan lide yo. Li di yo konsa: Yon peyi ki gen divizyon ladan l', kote moun ap goumen yonn ak lòt, peyi sa a la pou disparèt; menm kay yo gen pou tonbe yonn sou lòt.
He knew their intentions and said to them. "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste and house falls upon house.
18 Konsa tou, si Satan ap konbat pwòp tèt li, pouvwa Satan an pa la pou lontan. Nou di se Bèlzeboul ki ban m' pouvwa chase move lespri yo.
"And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
19 Si mwen menm mwen chase move lespri ak pouvwa Bèlzeboul, patizan nou yo, ak ki pouvwa yo chase move lespri yo? Se poutèt sa se yo menm k'ap ban nou tò.
"Do you say that I am casting out demons by the power of Beelzebub? If I then am casting out demons by Beelzebub, by whom are your sons casting them out? They therefore shall be your judges.
20 Non. Se avèk pouvwa Bondye mwen chase move lespri yo; sa vle di: Pouvwa gouvènman Bondye ki Wa a gen tan rive sou nou.
"But if it is by the finger of God that I am casting out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 Lè yon nonm vanyan ap veye kay li, zam li nan men l', tout byen l' yo byen pwoteje.
"When the strong man fully aroused keeps guard over his homestead, his property is undisturbed;
22 Men, si yon pi vanyan pase l' vin rive, l'ap bat li, l'ap wete zam ki te ba l' fòs yo nan men l', l'ap piye tou sa l' te genyen an l'ap separe ak lòt.
"but when the stronger man attacks him, he takes away from the strong armor in which he was trusting and divides up the spoil.
23 Moun ki pa avèk mwen, se kont mwen yo ye; moun ki p'ap ede m' ranmase, se gaye y'ap gaye.
"He who is not for me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering.
24 Lè yon move lespri soti nan yon nonm, li al pwonmennen toupatou nan dezè, l'ap chache yon kote pou l' pran repo. Si l' pa jwenn, l'ap di nan kè li: m'ap tounen lakay mwen kote m' soti a.
"Whenever a foul spirit is gone out of a man, it roams through waterless places, in search of rest; but when it can find none, it says, ‘I will go back to the house which I have left.’
25 Lè l' rive, li jwenn nonm lan tankou yon kay byen bale, byen ranje.
When it comes and finds the house completely swept and garnished.
26 Lè sa a, li al chache sèt lòt lespri ki pi move pase li; yo antre nan kay la, yo enstale yo. Konsa, kondisyon nonm lan vin pi mal pase jan l' te ye anvan an.
"Then it goes off and fetches seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first."
27 Pandan Jezi t'ap pale konsa, yon fanm pran pale byen fò nan mitan foul la, epi l' di: Fanm ki te pote ou nan vant li epi ki te ba ou tete a, se yon fanm Bondye beni!
It happened while he was saying this, that a certain woman out of the crowd shouted to him, saying, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breast that you have sucked."
28 Jezi reponn li: Moun ki koute pawòl Bondye epi ki mete l' an pratik, se yo menm Bondye beni.
"No, rather," he answered, "blessed are those who listen to the word of God, and keep it."
29 Anpil moun t'ap vin an kantite bò kot Jezi. Li pran di yo: Ala move moun se moun alèkile yo! Y'ap mande yon mirak ki pou fè yo wè Bondye dakò ak sa k'ap fèt la. Men, yo p'ap jwenn lòt mirak pase mirak Jonas la.
When the crowd were beginning to throng about him he proceeded to say. "This is an evil generation! It seeks a sign, and there shall be no sign be given to it except the sign of Jonah;
30 Menm jan Jonas te yon avètisman pou moun lavil Niniv yo, se konsa tou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va yon avètisman pou moun alèkile yo.
"for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man be to this generation.
31 Jou jijman an, larenn peyi ki nan sid la va leve kanpe, la fè yo kondannen moun alèkile yo. Paske, li te soti byen lwen, jouk nan dènye bout latè, pou l' te vin tande pawòl bon konprann wa Salomon yo. Men isit la, gen bagay ki pi konsekan pase wa Salomon.
"The queen of the South shall rise up in Judgement with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them; because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, one greater than Solomon is here!
32 Jou jijman an tou, moun lavil Niniv va leve kanpe y'a fè yo kondannen moun alèkile yo. Paske yo menm, yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye, lè Jonas te fè yo konnen mesaj la. Men isit la, gen bagay ki pi konsekan pase Jonas.
"The men of the Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with his generation and shall condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and lo! one greater than Jonah is here!
33 Pa gen moun ki pou kache yon lanp nan yon kwen osinon ki pou mete l' anba yon mamit lè l' fin limen li. Okontrè, l'ap mete l' sou yon etajè pou tout moun k'ap antre ka wè limyè a.
"When one lights a lamp he does not put it in a cellar nor under the bushel, but on a lamp-stand that those who enter may see the light.
34 Je ou se tankou yon lanp yo ye pou kò ou. Si je ou an bon eta, tout kò ou nan limyè. Men, si je ou an move eta, tout kò ou nan fènwa.
"The lamp of the body is your eye; when your eye is single then your whole body is full of light; but when it is evil your whole body is full of darkness.
35 Fè sèten pou limyè ki anndan ou lan pa fènwa.
"Look carefully! Perhaps that very light of yours is darkness.
36 Paske si tout kò ou nan limyè san yon sèl pati ladan l' pa nan fènwa, la klere nèt tankou lè yon lanp klere ou ak bèl limyè li.
"If, however, your whole body is full of light, without having any part dark, it will be wholly radiant with light, as when the lamp illumines you with its bright rays."
37 Lè Jezi fin pale, yon farizyen envite l' vin manje lakay li. Jezi antre, li al chita bò tab la.
When he had finished speaking a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in with him and reclined.
38 Farizyen an te sezi lè l' wè Jezi pa t' lave men l' anvan l' manje.
And the Pharisee noticed, to his amazement, that he did not wash his hands before eating,
39 Men, Jezi di li: Nou menm farizyen, se konsa nou ye. Nou netwaye tout deyò gode a ak deyò plat la, men anndan kè nou se lide vòlò ak mechanste ase ki genyen.
but the Lord said to him. "You Pharisee do cleanse the outside of your cup or plate, but your secret heart is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Bann egare! Bondye ki fè deyò a, se li menm ki fè anndan an tou.
"Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Pito nou bay pòv tou sa ki nan gode nou yo ak nan plat nou yo. Lè sa a, anyen nan tou sa nou genyen p'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka sèvi Bondye.
"Better cleanse what is within, and nothing will be unclean for you.
42 Malè pou nou, farizyen! Nou bay Bondye ladim nan donn ti pye mant, pye sitwon ak pye legim. Men, nou pa fè sa ki dwat devan Bondye, nou pa renmen Bondye. Okontrè, se sa pou n' te fè san nou pa bliye fè lòt bagay yo tou.
"But woe unto you Pharisee! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and disregard justice and the love of God; but these you ought to have done, and not leave the other undone.
43 Malè pou nou, farizyen! Nan sinagòg yo, nou renmen chita kote pou tout moun wè nou, nou renmen pou moun bese jouk atè pou di nou bonjou sou plas piblik.
"Woe unto you Pharisee! for you delight in the best seats in the synagogue, and in the salutation in the market-places.
44 Malè pou nou! Paske, nou tankou tonm ki ra tè: moun ap mache sou yo san yo pa konnen.
"Woe unto you! for you are like the tombs which are hidden, and men walk over them unsuspecting."
45 Yonn nan dirèktè lalwa yo pran lapawòl, li di Jezi konsa: Mèt, lè ou pale konsa, ou joure nou tou wi.
Hereupon one of the lawyers exclaimed, "But teacher, in saying such things you are also reproaching us also."
46 Epi Jezi reponn li: Malè pou nou tou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa yo! N'ap chaje moun ak chay ki twò lou pou pote. Men nou menm, nou pa menm manyen l' ak ti dwèt nou.
"Woe unto you lawyers also!" said Jesus, "for you load men with irksome burdens, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Malè pou nou! N'ap bati bèl tonm pou pwofèt zansèt nou yo te touye.
"Woe to you! for you are building the tombs of the prophets whom you ancestors killed.
48 Lè nou fè sa, nou admèt zansèt nou yo te byen fèt; nou dakò ak yo: yo menm yo te touye pwofèt yo, nou menm n'ap bati tonm pou yo.
"So you are witnesses, and you consent to the actions of your ancestors. for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Se poutèt sa Bondye te di nan bon konprann li: M'ap voye pwofèt avèk apòt ba yo; y'a touye kèk ladan yo, y'a pèsekite lòt yo.
"For this reason also said the Wisdom of God. ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and some they will persecute;
50 Se konsa moun alèkile yo ap reskonsab pou san tout pwofèt ki te koule depi lè Bondye te fin kreye latè;
"so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required from this generation,
51 wi, depi san Abèl jouk san Zakari yo te touye ant lotèl la ak kote ki rezève apa pou Bondye nan tanp lan. Wi. Se mwen k'ap di nou sa: Y'a mande moun alèkile yo kont pou tout krim sa yo.
"from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the alter and the sanctuary; yes; I tell you, it shall be required of this generation!
52 Malè pou nou, nou menm direktè lalwa yo! Nou pran kle ki pou louvri pòt kay konesans la: nou menm nou pa antre ladann, epi moun ki ta vle antre, nou anpeche yo antre.
"Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge!’ You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who are trying to enter."
53 Lè Jezi kite kote l' te ye a, dirèktè lalwa yo ak farizyen yo kòmanse atake l' avèk fòs; yo t'ap poze l' keksyon sou anpil bagay.
After he had gone away, the Scribes and the Pharisee began to set themselves vehemently against him, and to cross-question him upon many points,
54 Yo t'ap pare pèlen pou li pou pran kèk pawòl nan bouch li.
laying in wait for him, in order to catch a word from his lips.
