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.
When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as Yochanan also taught 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.
He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
3 Chak jou, ban nou manje nou bezwen pou jounen an.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
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 ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
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 said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘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 has 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 within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it 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, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
9 Mwen menm mwen di nou: Mande, y'a ban nou, chache n'a jwenn, frape y'a louvri pou nou.
“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will 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 everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11 Eske yonn nan nou ki papa pitit ta bay pitit li yon koulèv si pitit la mande l' yon pwason?
“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 Osinon, èske la ba li yon èskòpyon si li mande l' yon ze?
Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
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 then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who 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.
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marvelled.
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, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the 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, testing him, sought 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.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
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.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
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.
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will 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 I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to 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 armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
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 someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armour in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
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 with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
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.
The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
25 Lè l' rive, li jwenn nonm lan tankou yon kay byen bale, byen ranje.
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
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 he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes 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 came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
28 Jezi reponn li: Moun ki koute pawòl Bondye epi ki mete l' an pratik, se yo menm Bondye beni.
But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear 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 multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
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 even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also 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 will rise up in the judgement with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, 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 Nineveh will stand up in the judgement with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the proclaiming of Jonah; and behold, 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.
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in 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 the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
35 Fè sèten pou limyè ki anndan ou lan pa fènwa.
Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t 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 therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
37 Lè Jezi fin pale, yon farizyen envite l' vin manje lakay li. Jezi antre, li al chita bò tab la.
Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
38 Farizyen an te sezi lè l' wè Jezi pa t' lave men l' anvan l' manje.
When the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
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.
The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Bann egare! Bondye ki fè deyò a, se li menm ki fè anndan an tou.
You foolish ones, didn’t 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.
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to 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 to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left 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 to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Malè pou nou! Paske, nou tankou tonm ki ra tè: moun ap mache sou yo san yo pa konnen.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
45 Yonn nan dirèktè lalwa yo pran lapawòl, li di Jezi konsa: Mèt, lè ou pale konsa, ou joure nou tou wi.
One of the Torah scholars answered him, “Rabbi, in saying this you insult 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.
He said, “Woe to you Torah scholars also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47 Malè pou nou! N'ap bati bèl tonm pou pwofèt zansèt nou yo te touye.
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
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 testify and consent to the works of your fathers. 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.
Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and emissaries; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 Se konsa moun alèkile yo ap reskonsab pou san tout pwofèt ki te koule depi lè Bondye te fin kreye latè;
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of 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 Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will 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 Torah scholars! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
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.
As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
54 Yo t'ap pare pèlen pou li pou pran kèk pawòl nan bouch li.
lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
