Lik 19
1 Jezi antre Jeriko, li t'ap travèse lavil la.
And he entered and passed through Jericho.
2 Te gen yon nonm nan lavil la yo rele Zache. Li te chèf pèseptè kontribisyon yo, se te yon nonm rich.
And behold, [there was] a man by name called Zacchaeus, and he was chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich.
3 Li t'ap chache wè ki moun Jezi ye. Men, li te yon nonm ti tay. Akòz foul moun yo, li pa t' kapab rive wè li.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.
4 Li pran kouri devan; li moute sou yon pye sikomò pou l' wè Jezi ki te gen pou l' te pase bò la.
And running on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that [way].
5 Lè Jezi rive la, li leve je l' anlè, li di l': Zache, fè vit desann. Fòk mwen fè ladesant lakay ou jòdi a.
And when he came up to the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for to-day I must remain in thy house.
6 Zache prese desann, li resevwa Jezi ak kè kontan.
And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy.
7 Lè yo wè sa, tout moun pran babye, yo t'ap di: Men nonm lan fè ladesant kay yon nonm ki plen peche.
And all murmured when they saw [it], saying, He has turned in to lodge with a sinful man.
8 Zache leve kanpe, li di Jezi konsa: Koute, Mèt. Mwen pral bay pòv mwatye tout byen mwen genyen. Si mwen te twonpe yon moun pou m' pran lajan l', mwen pral rann li kat fwa lavalè.
But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return [him] fourfold.
9 Jezi di li: Jòdi a, kay sa a delivre paske nonm sa a se yon pitit Abraram li ye tou.
And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
10 Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a vin chache sa ki te pèdi pou l' delivre yo.
for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.
11 Apre sa, Jezi rakonte yon parabòl pou moun ki te fèk tande pawòl sa yo. Paske li te toupre lavil Jerizalèm lan, yo te kwè gouvènman Bondye ki Wa a tapral parèt touswit.
But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.
12 Men sa l' di yo: Vwala, se te yon nonm gran fanmi ki te al nan yon peyi byen lwen. Li te al fè yo ba l' otorite pou l' wa, apre sa pou l' te tounen lakay li ankò.
He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.
13 Anvan li ale, li rele dis nan domestik li yo, li ba yo chak yon pyès lò, li di yo: Fè lajan an travay jouk mwen tounen.
And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.
14 Men, pwòp moun peyi l' yo te rayi li. Yo voye kèk mesaje dèyè l' pou di: Nou pa vle nonm sa a pou wa nou.
But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this [man] should reign over us.
15 Malgre sa, yo bay nonm lan otorite pou l' wa, epi l' tounen nan peyi li. Lè sa a, li fè rele domestik li te bay lajan yo pou yo vin kote l': li te bezwen konnen ki benefis yo chak te fè.
And it came to pass on his arrival back again, having received the kingdom, that he desired these bondmen to whom he gave the money to be called to him, in order that he might know what every one had gained by trading.
16 Premye a vini, li di: Monwa, pyès lò ou te ban mwen an rapòte dis pyès ankò.
And the first came up, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.
17 Wa a di l': Sa se bèl bagay. Ou se yon bon domestik. M'ap mete ou gouvènen dis vil, paske ou te fè ti travay sa a byen.
And he said to him, Well [done], thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.
18 Dezyèm lan vini, li di: Monwa, pyès lò ou te ban mwen an rapòte senk lòt pyès.
And the second came, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has made five minas.
19 Wa a di l': Ou menm, m'ap mete ou gouvènen senk vil.
And he said also to this one, And thou, be over five cities.
20 Yon lòt vini, li di: Monwa, men pyès lò ou la. Mwen te sere l' nan yon mouchwa.
And another came, saying, [My] Lord, lo, [there is] thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.
21 Mwen te pè ou, paske ou se yon nonm ki di: ou pran sa ki pa pou ou, ou rekòlte sa ou pa simen.
For I feared thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.
22 Wa a reponn: Gade jan ou se yon move domestik! M'ap jije ou ak pawòl ki sot nan bouch ou. Ou te konnen m' se yon nonm ki di, mwen pran sa ki pa pou mwen, mwen rekòlte sa m' pa simen,
He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.
23 poukisa ou pa t' mete lajan m' labank; lè m' ta tounen, mwen ta wete l' ak yon enterè.
And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and I should have received it, at my coming, with interest?
24 Li di moun ki te la yo: Wete lajan an nan men li. Bay nonm ki gen dis pyès yo li.
And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give [it] to him who has the ten minas.
25 Yo di l': Men, monwa, li gen dis pyès deja.
And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.
26 Mwen di nou: Moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò; men moun ki pa gen anyen menm lan, y'a wete nan men l' menm ti sa l' te genyen an.
For I say unto you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.
27 Kanta lènmi m' yo ki pa t' vle mwen pou wa yo, mennen yo isit, touye yo la devan je mwen.
Moreover those mine enemies, who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] before me.
28 Apre Jezi fin pale konsa, li pran mache devan yo pou li al Jerizalèm.
And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Lè Jezi rive toupre Betfaje ak Betani, bò ti mòn Oliv la, li pran de nan disip li yo, li voye yo devan,
And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 li di yo konsa: Ale nan bouk ki devan nou an. Lè n'a rive, n'a jwenn yon jenn ti bourik mare; pesonn pa kò janm moute sou li. Lage l', mennen l' ban mwen.
saying, Go into the village over against [you], in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no [child] of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it [here].
31 Nenpòt moun ki mande nou: Poukisa n'ap lage l'? N'a reponn: Se Mèt la ki bezwen li.
And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose [it]? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.
32 De disip yo ale; yo jwenn tout bagay jan Jezi te di yo a.
And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.
33 Pandan y'ap lage ti bourik la, mèt li di yo: Poukisa n'ap lage ti bourik la?
And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 Yo reponn: Se Mèt la ki bezwen li.
And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.
35 Apre sa, yo mennen ti bourik la bay Jezi. Yo mete rad yo sou do ti bourik la, yo fè Jezi moute sou li.
And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on [it].
36 Pandan Jezi t'ap vanse sou bourik la, moun yo tann rad yo atè sou tout chemen an.
And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way.
37 Lè l' rive toupre Jerizalèm, nan ladesant mòn Oliv la, yon sèl kontantman pran tout foul moun ki t'ap swiv li yo; yo pran fè lwanj Bondye byen fò pou tout mirak yo te wè.
And as he drew near, already at the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began, rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power which they had seen,
38 Yo t'ap di: benediksyon pou Wa ki vini nan non Mèt la! Kè poze pou tout moun nan syèl la! Lwanj pou Bondye!
saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of [the] Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Te gen kèk farizyen nan mitan foul la. Yo di Jezi konsa: Mèt, manyè fè disip ou yo pe bouch yo non.
And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Jezi reponn: M'ap di nou sa: si yo pe bouch yo, wòch yo va pran rele.
And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.
41 Lè Jezi rive toupre lavil la, li wè l', li pran kriye sou li,
And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it,
42 li di: Si sèlman, jòdi a ou te kapab konprann, ou menm tou, bagay ki pou fè kè ou poze? Men, koulye a, yo kache; ou pa kapab wè yo!
saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, even at least in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes;
43 Gen yon tan k'ap vin sou ou: lè sa a, lènmi ou yo va sènen ou toupatou, y'a fèmen ou nèt, y'a kwense ou sou tout bò.
for days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall make a palisaded mound about thee, and shall close thee around, and keep thee in on every side,
44 Y'a detwi ou nèt ansanm ak tout moun ki nan mitan ou yo. Yo p'ap kite yon wòch kanpe sou yon lòt, paske ou pa t' rekonèt jou Bondye te vin pote ou sekou a.
and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children in thee; and shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.
45 Jezi antre nan tanp lan, li pran chase tout moun ki t'ap vann yo.
And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those that sold and bought in it,
46 Li di yo: Men sa ki ekri: Se pou kay mwen an yon kay kote moun vin lapriyè nan pye m'; men, nou menm, nou fè l' tounen kachèt vòlè.
saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers.
47 Chak jou, Jezi te nan tanp lan, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Chèf prèt yo, dirèktè lalwa yo ak chèf pèp la t'ap chache ki jan pou yo touye li.
And he was teaching day by day in the temple: and the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 Men, yo pa t' kapab jwenn yon jan pou yo te fè sa, paske tout pèp la t'ap koute sa l' t'ap di san yo pa pèdi yon mo.
and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him to hear.
