Lik 16
1 Jezi di disip li yo: Vwala, se te yon nonm rich ki te gen yon jeran. Yo vin rapòte l' jan jeran an ap gaspiye tout byen l' yo.
And he spoke a parable to his disciples. There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and accusations were brought to him of him, that he squandered his property.
2 Li rele jeran an, li di li: Kisa m' tande y'ap di sou ou konsa? vin fè regleman travay ou avè m', paske mwen p'ap kite byen m' yo sou kont ou ankò.
And his lord called him, and said to him: What is this that I hear of thee? Render to me an account of thy stewardship; for thou canst no longer be my steward.
3 Jeran an di nan kè l': Patwon an pral kase m' nan djòb sa a; kisa m' pral fè koulye a? Mwen pa gen fòs pou m' al travay latè. Epi se va yon wont pou m' al mande charite!
And the steward said with himself: What shall I do, since my lord is about to take from me the stewardship? To dig, I am unable; and to become a beggar, I am ashamed.
4 Bon, mwen konn sa m' pral fè pou lè m' pèdi djòb mwen m'a toujou gen moun ki pou resevwa m' lakay yo.
I know what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
5 Jeran an fè rele tout moun ki te dwe mèt la, li fè yo vini yonn apre lòt. Li di premye a: Konbe ou dwe mèt la?
And he called each one of his lord's debtors; and he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 Li reponn: Mwen dwe l' san (100) bidon lwil. Msye di l': Men papye ou la, chita, ekri senkant. Fè vit.
And he said to him, One hundred measures of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write Fifty measures.
7 Apre sa, li di yon lòt; Ou menm, konbe ou dwe? Li reponn: San sak (100) mayi. Msye di l': Men papye ou la, ekri katreven.
And he said to another: And how much owest thou to my lord? And he said to him, One hundred cors of wheat. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down, and write Eighty cors.
8 Nonm rich la fè jeran visye a konpliman dapre li te aji ak ladrès sa a. Paske moun k'ap viv dapre prensip lemonn yo regle zafè yo pi byen pase moun ki gen limyè a. (aiōn g165)
And our Lord praised the unrighteous steward, for having acted sagaciously: for the children of this world are more sagacious than the children of light, in this their generation. (aiōn g165)
9 Jezi di yo ankò: Nou menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Bat pou nou fè zanmi ak richès ki sou latè. Konsa, lè richès nou va fini, y'a resevwa nou nan kay Bondye ki la pou tout tan an. (aiōnios g166)
And I also say to you: Make to yourselves friends, with this unrighteous mammon; so that when it is finished, they may receive you to their everlasting tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
10 Moun ki kenbe pawòl li nan tout ti bagay, la kenbe l' nan gwo bagay tou. Men, moun ki pa serye nan ti bagay, li p'ap serye nan gwo bagay non plis.
He that is faithful in the little, is also faithful in the much; and he that is unjust in the little, is also unjust in the much.
11 Si ou pa sèvi byen ak richès ou gen sou latè, kilès ki va fè ou konfyans pou richès tout bon yo?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the reality?
12 Si ou pa t' sèvi byen avèk sa ki te pou lòt moun, ki moun ki va ba ou sak pou ou a?
And if ye have not been found faithful in that which is not yours, who will give to you that which is yours?
13 Pesonn pa ka sèvi de mèt byen anmenmtan. Li gen pou l' rayi yonn si l' renmen lòt la. L'ap sèvi yonn byen, men l'ap meprize lòt la. Nou pa ka sèvi Bondye ak lajan anmenmtan.
There is no servant, who can serve two lords. For, either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will honor the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Farizyen yo t'ap koute tout pawòl sa yo tou. Yo t'ap pase Jezi nan betiz paske yo te renmen lajan.
And the Pharisees, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.
15 Lè sa a Jezi di yo: Nou menm, n'ap chache parèt pou pi bon devan moun, men Bondye konnen sa ki nan kè nou. Bagay moun bay plis enpòtans, se yo Bondye pa vle wè.
And Jesus said to them: Ye are such as justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your heart: for that which is exalted among men, is abominable before God.
16 Kòmandman Moyiz ak liv pwofèt yo te gen fòs lalwa jouk tan Jan Batis te rive. Men, depi lè sa a, se anonse y'ap anonse bon nouvèl peyi kote Bondye Wa a, se nan goumen pou moun antre ladan li.
The law and the prophets were until John: since then, the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and every one presseth it to enter in.
17 Men, l'ap pi fasil pou syèl la ak tè a disparèt pase pou yon sèl ti detay nan lalwa a pèdi valè li.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one letter to pass from the law.
18 Si yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou l' marye ak yon lòt, nonm sa a fè adiltè. Lè yon mari kite madanm li, si yon lòt nonm marye ak madanm lan, nonm sa a fè adiltè tou.
Whoever putteth away his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and whoever taketh her that is put away, committeth adultery.
19 Vwala, se te yon nonm rich ki te konn abiye ak bèl twal wouj e blan ki te koute chè. Chak jou, se te gwo fèt banbòch lakay li.
And there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in fine linen and scarlet, and passed every day in splendid luxury.
20 Te gen yon pòv yo rele Laza ki te kouche nan papòt nonm rich la. Laza te kouvri ak malenng.
And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Lazarus; and he was laid at the gate of the rich man, smitten with ulcers.
21 Li te byen anvi plen vant li ak bagay ki t'ap soti tonbe anba tab nonm rich la. Sa ki pi rèd, chen t'ap vin niche malenng li yo tou.
And he desired to fill his belly with the fragments that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs also came and licked his ulcers.
22 Pòv la vin mouri, zanj Bondye yo pote l' mete bò kot Abraram nan syèl la. Nonm rich la mouri tou, yo antere li.
And so it was, that the poor man died; and angels transported him to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Pandan l' te kote tout mò yo ye a nan mitan soufrans, li voye je l' byen lwen li wè Abraram ak Laza ansanm avèk li. (Hadēs g86)
And being tormented in hell, he raised his eyes from afar off, and saw Abraham, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Nonm rich la rele: Abraram papa, gen pitye pou mwen non! Voye Laza tranpe ti bout dwèt li nan yon ti tak dlò pou l' mete yon frechè sou lang mwen, paske se pa ti soufri m'ap soufri nan flanm sa a.
And he called with a loud voice, and said: Abraham, my father, have pity on me; and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and moisten my tongue; for, lo, I am tormented in this flame.
25 Abraram reponn li: Pitit mwen, chonje byen: ou te resevwa tout bon bagay pa ou yo pandan ou te sou latè. Lè sa a menm, Laza te nan tout mizè li. Koulye a, li jwenn konsolasyon bò isit la, ou menm w'ap soufri.
And Abraham said to him: My son, remember, that thou receivedst thy good things in thy lifetime, and Lazarus his evil things: and now, behold he is here at rest, and thou art tormented.
26 Epitou, gen yon gwo twou ki separe nou avè ou, konsa pa gen mwayen pou moun sot isit la pou y' al jwenn ou, osinon pou moun ta soti kote ou ye a pou vin jwenn nou.
And with all these, there is a great barrier between us and you; so that they who would pass from here to you, cannot; neither can they pass from there to us
27 Nonm rich la di li: Tanpri, Abraram papa, voye Laza kay papa mwen.
He said to him: I pray thee, therefore, my father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house;
28 Mwen gen senk frè. Mwen ta vle li al di yo jan bagay la ye pou yo pa vin isit nan touman sa a.
for I have five brothers; that he may go and protest to them; lest they also come to this place of torment.
29 Abraram reponn li: Yo gen Moyiz ak pwofèt yo pou avèti yo, se pou yo koute yo.
Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 Li di li: Non, papa Abraram, yo p'ap koute. Men, si yonn nan mò yo al jwenn yo, y'a chanje lavi yo.
But he said to him: No, my father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Lè sa a, Abraram di li: Si yo pa koute Moyiz ak pwofèt yo, yo p'ap kite pesonn lòt fè yo wè verite a. Li ta mèt yon mò ki ta leve vivan ankò, yo p'ap koute li.
Abraham said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not believe, though one should rise from the dead.
