Lik 15
1 Tout pèseptè kontribisyon yo ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal yo t'ap pwoche bò kot Jezi pou tande sa l' t'ap di.
Then resorted vnto him all the Publicanes and sinners, to heare him.
2 Farizyen yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo t'ap babye. Yo t'ap di: Nonm sa a ap resevwa moun k'ap fè sa ki mal, epi l'ap manje ak yo.
Therefore the Pharises and Scribes murmured, saying, Hee receiueth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Lè sa a, Jezi di yo parabòl sa a:
Then spake hee this parable to them, saying,
4 Sipoze yonn nan nou gen san (100) mouton. Si l' pèdi yonn ladan yo, èske li p'ap kite katrevendisnèf lòt mouton yo nan dezè a, pou li al dèyè sak pèdi a? L'ap chache l' jouk li jwenn li.
What man of you hauing an hundreth sheepe, if hee lose one of them, doeth not leaue ninetie and nine in the wildernesse, and goe after that which is lost, vntill he finde it?
5 Lè l' jwenn li, l'ap mete l' sou zepòl li ak kè kontan.
And when he hath found it, he laieth it on his shoulders with ioye.
6 Lè l' tounen lakay li avè l', l'ap rele tout zanmi l' ak tout vwazen l' yo, l'ap di yo: vin fè fèt avè m', mwen jwenn mouton m' ki te pèdi a.
And when he commeth home, he calleth together his friendes and neighbours, saying vnto them, Reioyce with mee: for I haue founde my sheepe which was lost.
7 Konsa tou, m'ap di nou, va gen plis kontantman nan syèl la pou yon sèl moun ki t'ap fè sa ki mal epi ki tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pase pou katrevendisnèf moun k'ap mache dwat, ki pa bezwen tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
I say vnto you, that likewise ioy shall be in heauen for one sinner that conuerteth, more then for ninetie and nine iust men, which neede none amendment of life.
8 Osinon ankò, sipoze yon fanm ki gen dis pyès lajan. Si li pèdi yonn ladan yo, èske li p'ap limen lanp, bale tout kay la, chache nan tout ti kwen jouk li jwenn li?
Either what woman hauing ten groates, if she lose one groate, doth not light a candle, and sweepe the house, and seeke diligently till shee finde it?
9 Lè l' jwenn li, l'ap rele zanmi l' ak vwazen li yo, l'ap di yo: vin fè fèt avè m'; mwen jwenn pyès lajan m' ki te pèdi a.
And when shee hath found it, shee calleth her friendes, and neighbours, saying, Reioyce with me: for I haue found the groate which I had lost.
10 Konsa tou, m'ap di nou sa, gen kontantman nan mitan zanj Bondye yo pou yon sèl moun ki t'ap viv nan peche epi ki tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
Likewise I say vnto you, there is ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, for one sinner that conuerteth.
11 Jezi di ankò: Vwala, se te yon nonm ki te gen de pitit gason.
He sayde moreouer, A certaine man had two sonnes.
12 Pi piti a di papa l': Papa, ban m' pa m' nan byen nou yo. Lè sa a, papa a separe byen l' yo bay tou de.
And the yonger of them sayde to his father, Father, giue mee the portion of the goods that falleth to mee. So he deuided vnto them his substance.
13 Kèk jou apre, ti gason an ranmase tout afè l', li pati, li ale nan yon peyi byen lwen. Antan li la, li lage kò l' nan banbòch, li gaspiye tout lajan l'.
So not many daies after, when the yonger sonne had gathered all together, hee tooke his iourney into a farre countrey, and there hee wasted his goods with riotous liuing.
14 Lè msye fin depanse tout lajan l', yon gwo grangou tonbe sou peyi a. Lè sa a, li vin nan nesesite.
Nowe when hee had spent all, there arose a great dearth throughout that land, and he began to be in necessitie.
15 li al mande travay lakay yon abitan nan peyi a. Abitan an voye l' nan jaden l' al gade kochon.
Then hee went and claue to a citizen of that conntrey, and hee sent him to his farme, to feede swine.
16 Lè sa a, li ta byen renmen plen vant li ak sa kochon yo t'ap manje a, men pesonn pa t' ba li.
And hee would faine haue filled his bellie with the huskes, that the swine ate: but no man gaue them him.
17 Se lè sa a atò li pran kalkile sou sitiyasyon l'. Li di konsa: Gade kantite moun k'ap travay kay papa m' pou lajan! Yo jwenn manje depase sa yo ka manje. Epi mwen menm, m'ap mouri grangou isit la.
Then he came to him selfe, and said, Howe many hired seruaunts at my fathers haue bread ynough, and I die for hunger?
18 M'ap leve, mwen pral tounen jwenn papa m', m'ap di li: Papa, mwen peche kont Bondye, mwen peche kont ou menm tou.
I wil rise and goe to my father, and say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heaue, and before thee,
19 Mwen pa merite pou ou konsidere m' pou pitit ou ankò. Gade m' tankou yonn nan moun k'ap travay avè ou yo.
And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants.
20 Li leve vre, li pran chemen tounen kay papa li. Msye te byen lwen kay la toujou lè papa a wè li. Kè papa a fè l' mal, li kouri al rankontre l', li pase men l' nan kou pitit la epi li bo li.
So hee arose and came to his father, and when hee was yet a great way off, his father sawe him, and had compassion, and ranne and fell on his necke, and kissed him.
21 Pitit la di li: Papa, mwen peche kont Bondye, mwen peche kont ou menm tou; mwen pa merite pou ou konsidere m' pou pitit ou ankò.
And the sonne sayde vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen, and before thee, and am no more worthie to be called thy sonne.
22 Men, papa a di domestik li yo: Ale vit. Pote pi bèl rad la, mete l' sou li pou mwen. Mete yon bag nan dwèt li, mete soulye nan pye li.
Then the father said to his seruaunts, Bring foorth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feete,
23 Al chache jenn ti towo nou t'ap angrese a, touye l'. Ann fete, ann manje.
And bring the fat calfe, and kill him, and let vs eate, and be merie:
24 Paske, pitit gason m' sa a te mouri, men li tounen vivan ankò; li te pèdi, koulye a mwen jwenn li. Epi, yo kòmanse fè fèt.
For this my sonne was dead, and is aliue againe: and he was lost, but he is found. And they began to be merie.
25 Lè sa a, pi gran gason an te nan jaden. Antan l'ap soti nan jaden, lè l' rive pre kay la, li tande mizik la ak vwa moun k'ap danse yo.
Nowe the elder brother was in the fielde, and when he came and drewe neere to the house, he heard melodie, and dauncing,
26 Li rele yonn nan domestik yo, li mande li: Sak genyen?
And called one of his seruaunts, and asked what those things meant.
27 Domestik la di li: Ti frè ou la tounen. Papa ou fè touye jenn ti towo nou t'ap angrese a, paske li jwenn msye an sante.
And hee sayde vnto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatte calfe, because he hath receiued him safe and sound.
28 Gran frè a fè kòlè, li derefize antre nan kay la. Papa a soti, li mande l' pou l' antre.
Then he was angry, and would not goe in: therefore came his father out and entreated him.
29 Men, gran frè a reponn papa a: Gade tout tan mwen genyen depi m'ap sèvi ou; mwen pa janm derespekte lòd ou. Men, ou pa janm ban m' yon ti kabrit menm pou m' fè fèt ak zanmi m' yo.
But he answered and said to his father, Loe, these many yeeres haue I done thee seruice, neither brake I at any time thy commadement, and yet thou neuer gauest mee a kidde that I might make merie with my friends.
30 Men, lè pitit gason ou lan tounen, li menm ki fin gaspiye tout byen ou yo ak jennès, se pou li ou fè touye jenn towo nou t'ap angrese a.
But when this thy sonne was come, which hath deuoured thy good with harlots, thou hast for his sake killed the fat calfe.
31 Papa a di li: Pitit mwen, ou toujou la avè m'; tout sa m' genyen se pou ou.
And he said vnto him, Sonne, thou art euer with me, and al that I haue, is thine.
32 Men, fòk kanmenm nou te fè fèt, nou pa t' ka pa kontan, paske frè ou la te mouri, men li tounen vivan, li te pèdi, mwen jwenn li koulye a.
It was meete that we shoulde make merie, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is aliue againe: and hee was lost, but he is found.
