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.
On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
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?
They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
3 Jezi reponn yo: Mwen pral poze nou yon keksyon, mwen menm tou.
He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 Di mwen kilès ki te voye Jan Batis batize moun: Bondye osinon lèzòm?
the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from 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.
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you 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, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 Lè sa a yo reponn li: Nou pa konn ki moun ki te voye l' batize.
They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
8 Jezi di yo: Enben, mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap di nou avèk ki otorite m'ap fè bagay sa yo.
Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
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.
He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country 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.
At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and 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.
He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Mèt jaden an voye yon twazyèm domestik. Fwa sa a, yo blese l', yo mete l' deyò.
He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw 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.
The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
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 when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
15 Yo jete l' deyò jaden an, yo touye li. Atò, kisa mèt jaden an pral fè yo?
Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to 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 farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
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 looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
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.
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
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.
The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.
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.
They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and 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.
They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
22 Manyè di nou: Eske lalwa nou an pèmèt nou peye Seza lajan kontribisyon an, wi ou non?
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 Men, Jezi wè se nan pèlen yo te vle pran li. Li di yo:
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
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.
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
25 Lè sa a li di yo: Enben, bay Seza sak pou Seza, bay Bondye sak pou Bondye.
He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
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.
They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
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:
Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
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.
They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
29 Se konsa, te gen sèt frè. Premye a marye, li mouri san l' pa kite pitit.
There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 Dezyèm lan marye ak vèv la. Apre sa, twazyèm lan marye avè l' tou.
The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31 Konsa konsa, sèt frè yo marye ak fanm lan yonn apre lòt, epi yo tout yo mouri san kite pitit.
The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
32 Apre yo tout fin mouri, fanm lan mouri poutèt pa l' tou.
Afterward 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?
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
Jesus said to them, “The children 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 those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from 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 can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
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 are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 Bondye se Bondye moun vivan li ye, li pa Bondye moun mouri, paske pou li tout moun vivan.
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
39 Lè sa a, kèk dirèktè lalwa pran lapawòl, yo di: Mèt, ou byen pale.
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
40 Apre sa, yo pa t' gen odas poze l' ankenn lòt keksyon.
They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
41 Jezi di yo: Ki jan yo fè di Kris la se pitit pitit David li ye?
He said to them, “Why do they say 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,
David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
43 jouk tan mwen fè lènmi yo tounen yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
44 Si David rele Kris la Seyè, ki jan pou Kris la ta ka pitit pitit li?
“David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
45 Lè sa a, tout pèp la t'ap koute Jezi. Li di disip li yo:
In the hearing of all the people, he said to his 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.
“Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
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 widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
