Lik 20
1 Yon jou konsa, Jezi te nan tanp lan; li t'ap moutre pèp la anpil bagay; li t'ap anonse yo bon nouvèl la. Chèf prèt yo, dirèktè lalwa yo ak chèf fanmi yo vin rive.
And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and telling the good tidings, that the High-priests and the Scribes, with the Elders, came upon him, —
2 Yo di li: Manyè di nou ki dwa ou genyen pou w'ap fè tout bagay sa yo? Wi, kilès ki ba ou otorite pou fè yo?
and spake, saying, unto him—Tell us, by what authority, these things, thou art doing, and, who, is it, that gave thee this authority.
3 Jezi reponn yo: Mwen pral poze nou yon keksyon, mwen menm tou.
And answering, he said unto them—I too, will question, you, as to a matter, —and tell me!
4 Di mwen kilès ki te voye Jan Batis batize moun: Bondye osinon lèzòm?
The immersion of John, Of heaven, was it, or of men?
5 Men, yonn t'ap di lòt: Si nou reponn se Bondye ki voye l', la mande nou poukisa nou pa t' kwè li.
And they deliberated together by themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore did ye not believe him?
6 Si nou reponn se lèzòm ki voye l', tout pèp la va touye nou ak kout wòch, paske yo tout te gen konviksyon Jan Batis te yon pwofèt.
But, if we say, Of men, the people, one and all, will stone us, for, persuaded, they are, that, John, was, a prophet.
7 Lè sa a yo reponn li: Nou pa konn ki moun ki te voye l' batize.
And they answered, that they knew not whence.
8 Jezi di yo: Enben, mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap di nou avèk ki otorite m'ap fè bagay sa yo.
And, Jesus, said unto them—Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
9 Apre sa, Jezi pran rakonte pèp la parabòl sa a: Vwala, se te yon nonm ki te plante yon jaden rezen. Li antann li avèk kèk moun pou okipe jaden an pou li. Apre sa, li kite peyi a, li al fè lontan deyò.
And he began, unto the people, to be speaking this parable: —A man, planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went from home for a long time.
10 Lè sezon rekòt la rive, li voye yon domestik kote moun ki t'ap pran swen jaden an pou li. Li te voye chache pòsyon pa l' nan rekòt rezen an nan men yo. Men, kiltivatè yo bat domestik la byen bat, epi yo voye l' tounen bay mèt jaden an san yo pa ba l' anyen.
And, in due season, he sent unto the husbandmen, a servant, that, of the fruit of the vineyard, they might give him; but, the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent him away empty.
11 Mèt jaden an voye yon lòt domestik kote yo ankò. Men, yo bat li byen bat, yo joure l' byen joure, epi yo voye l' tounen san yo pa ba l' anyen.
And he, further, sent another servant; but, they, beating, that one also, and dishonouring him, sent him away, empty.
12 Mèt jaden an voye yon twazyèm domestik. Fwa sa a, yo blese l', yo mete l' deyò.
And he, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust him out.
13 Lè sa a, mèt jaden an di: Kisa pou m' fè? Bon, mwen pral voye pitit gason mwen renmen anpil la. Omwens y'a gen respè pou li.
And the lord of the vineyard said—What shall I do? I will send my son, the beloved, —It may be, that, him, they will respect.
14 Men, lè kiltivatè yo wè pitit mèt jaden an, yonn di lòt: Men eritye a! Ann touye l', konsa jaden an va rete pou nou.
But he husbandmen, seeing him, began to deliberate one with another, saying—This, is, the heir: Let us slay him, that, ours, may be, the inheritance.
15 Yo jete l' deyò jaden an, yo touye li. Atò, kisa mèt jaden an pral fè yo?
And, thrusting him forth outside the vineyard, they slew him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16 L'ap vini, l'ap fè touye tout kiltivatè yo, epi l'ap bay lòt moun jaden rezen an. Lè pèp la tande sa, yo di: Mande Bondye padon!
He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard unto others. But, when they heard it, they said—Far be it!
17 Men, Jezi gade yo, li mande yo: Ki sans nou bay pawòl sa ki ekri a: Wòch moun ki t'ap bati yo te voye jete a, se li menm ki tounen wòch ki kenbe kay la.
But, he, looking at them, said—What, then, is this that is written, —A stone which the builders’ rejected, The same, hath become, head of the corner?
18 Tout moun ki bite sou wòch sa a gen pou kase ren yo. Men, si se wòch la menm ki tonbe sou yon moun, li gen pou l' kraze moun lan an miyèt moso.
Every one who falleth on that stone, will be sorely bruised, but, on whomsoever it shall fall, it will utterly destroy him.
19 Menm lè a, chèf prèt yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo t'ap chache mete men sou li, paske yo te byen konnen se pou yo Jezi te bay parabòl sa a. Men, yo te pè pèp la.
And the Scribes and the High-priests sought to thrust on him their hands, in that very hour; and feared the people; for they perceived that, against them, spake he this parable.
20 Yo pran veye Jezi. Yo voye espyon dèyè li. Espyon yo pran pòz moun debyen yo, pou wè si yo te ka pran yon pawòl nan bouch li pou akize li. Konsa, yo ta kapab lage l' nan men gouvènè a ki te gen pouvwa ak tout otorite.
And, watching narrowly, they sent forth suborned men, feigning themselves to be, righteous, that they might lay hold of a word of his, so as to deliver him up unto the rule and the authority of the governor.
21 Espyon yo poze l' keksyon sa a: Mèt, nou konnen ou se moun serye. Tou sa ou di ak tou sa ou moutre nou se verite. Ou pa gade sou figi moun, men ou moutre chemen Bondye a jan li ye a.
And they questioned him, saying—Teacher! we know that, rightly, thou speakest and teachest, and respectest no person, but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach:
22 Manyè di nou: Eske lalwa nou an pèmèt nou peye Seza lajan kontribisyon an, wi ou non?
Is it allowable for us to give, unto Caesar, tribute, or not?
23 Men, Jezi wè se nan pèlen yo te vle pran li. Li di yo:
But, observing their villainy, he said unto them—
24 Moutre m' yon pyès lajan. Pòtre ki moun ak non ki moun ki sou pyès lajan an? Yo reponn li: Se pòtre Seza ak non Seza.
Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said—Of Caesar.
25 Lè sa a li di yo: Enben, bay Seza sak pou Seza, bay Bondye sak pou Bondye.
And, he, said unto them—Well then! render the things of Caesar, unto Caesar, and the things of God, unto God.
26 Yo pa t' kapab jwenn anyen ki mal nan sa l' t'ap di devan pèp la. Okontrè, pawòl sa a te fè yo pi sezi ankò. Yo fèmen bouch yo san di yon mo.
And they could not lay hold of the saying, before the people; and, marvelling at his answer, they held their peace.
27 Sadiseyen yo se yon gwoup jwif ki di moun mouri pa leve ankò. Gen kèk ladan yo ki vin bò kot Jezi ak yon keksyon. Yo di l' konsa:
But there came near certain of the Sadducees, they who say, Resurrection, there is none! and questioned him,
28 Mèt, Moyiz te ekri lòd sa a ban nou: Lè yon nonm marye mouri san kite pitit, si l' gen yon frè, frè a gen pou l' marye avèk madanm defen an pou l' sa fè pitit pou frè l' ki mouri a.
saying—Teacher! Moses, wrote for us, If one’s brother die, having a wife, and, he, be, childless, that his brother shall take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 Se konsa, te gen sèt frè. Premye a marye, li mouri san l' pa kite pitit.
Seven brethren, therefore, there were, —and, the first, taking a wife, died childless,
30 Dezyèm lan marye ak vèv la. Apre sa, twazyèm lan marye avè l' tou.
And, the second,
31 Konsa konsa, sèt frè yo marye ak fanm lan yonn apre lòt, epi yo tout yo mouri san kite pitit.
and the third, took her, —yea, likewise, even the seven; They left no children, and died:
32 Apre yo tout fin mouri, fanm lan mouri poutèt pa l' tou.
Later on, the woman also, died.
33 Lè mò yo va gen pou yo leve, fanm sa a ki te madanm tout sèt frè yo, madanm kilès nan yo li pral ye la a menm?
The woman, therefore, in the resurrection, Of which of them, doth she become wife? for, the seven, had her to wife.
And Jesus said unto them—The sons of this age, marry, and are given in marriage, — (aiōn g165)
35 Men, fanm ak gason ki merite pou yo leve soti vivan nan lanmò pou yo ka patisipe nan lavi k'ap vini an, moun sa yo pa nan marye ankò. (aiōn g165)
But, they who have been accounted worthy, that age, to obtain, and the resurrection that is from among the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
36 Yo pa ka mouri ankò, se tankou zanj Bondye yo ye, yo se pitit Bondye, paske yo leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
For they cannot, even die any more, —for, equal unto messengers, are they, and are, sons of God, Of the resurrection, being, sons.
37 Wi, moun mouri gen pou yo leve. Se Moyiz menm ki moutre nou sa, lè bò ti touf bwa a, li te rele Bondye: Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak, Bondye Jakòb.
But, that the dead do rise, even Moses, disclosed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord—The God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob:
38 Bondye se Bondye moun vivan li ye, li pa Bondye moun mouri, paske pou li tout moun vivan.
Now, God, he is not, of the dead, but, of the living, —for, all, unto him, do live.
39 Lè sa a, kèk dirèktè lalwa pran lapawòl, yo di: Mèt, ou byen pale.
And certain of the Scribes, answering, said—Teacher! Well, hast thou spoken.
40 Apre sa, yo pa t' gen odas poze l' ankenn lòt keksyon.
For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.
41 Jezi di yo: Ki jan yo fè di Kris la se pitit pitit David li ye?
And he said unto them—How say they, that, the Christ, is, David’s Son?
42 Men, sa David menm te di nan liv Sòm yo: Bondye Mèt la te di Seyè mwen an: Chita la sou bò dwat mwen,
For, David himself, saith, in [the] book of Psalms: Said the Lord, unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
43 jouk tan mwen fè lènmi yo tounen yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
44 Si David rele Kris la Seyè, ki jan pou Kris la ta ka pitit pitit li?
David, therefore, calleth, him Lord: How, then, his son, is he?
45 Lè sa a, tout pèp la t'ap koute Jezi. Li di disip li yo:
And, all the people hearing, he said unto the disciples:
46 Pran prekosyon nou avèk dirèktè lalwa yo. Yo renmen pwonmennen avèk rad long yo; yo renmen moun bese tèt yo jouk atè pou di yo bonjou sou plas piblik; lè y' al nan sinagòg, yo toujou ap chache pou yo chita kote pou tout moun ka wè yo; nan resepsyon yo chache pi bon plas la.
Be taking heed of the Scribes—Who desire to walk about in long robes, and are fond of salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the chief meals, —
47 Se piye y'ap piye pòv vèv yo, anmenmtan y'ap plede fè lapriyè byen long pou parèt pi bon. Chatiman moun sa yo pral pi rèd.
Who devour the houses of widows, and, for a show, are a long time at prayer. These, shall receive, a heavier sentence.
