Lik 1
1 Akoz gen anpil moun ki deja antreprann pou rasanble yon listwa de bagay ki te fèt pami nou yo,
Forsothe for manye men enforceden to ordeyne the tellyng of thingis, whiche ben fillid in vs,
2 jis jan ke yo te lonje bay a nou menm pa men a sila yo, ki depi nan kòmansman an te wè avèk pwòp zye yo, e kon sèvitè a pawòl la, te fè nou konnen yo.
as thei that seyn atte the bigynnyng, and weren ministris of the word,
3 Sa te sanble bon pou mwen tou, akoz ke m te fè yon ankèt konplè depi nan kòmansman an, pou m ekri sa pou nou ta byen konprann jan li te rive a, chè ekselans Théophile.
bitaken, it is seen also to me, hauynge alle thingis diligentli bi ordre, to write to thee,
4 Konsa, ou ta kapab konnen verite egzakt la, selon bagay ke ou te enstwi yo.
thou best Theofile, that thou knowe the treuthe of tho wordis, of whiche thou art lerned.
5 Nan jou Hérode yo, wa Juda a, te gen yon sèten prèt ki te rele Zacharie nan divizyon Abijah. Li te gen yon madanm ki soti nan fi Aaron yo, yo te rele Elizabeth.
In the daies of Eroude, kyng of Judee, ther was a prest, Sakarie bi name, of the sorte of Abia, and his wijf was of the douytris of Aaron, and hir name was Elizabeth.
6 Yo te toude jis devan zye Bondye. Yo te mache san fot nan tout kòmandman ak devwa Senyè a.
And bothe weren iust bifor God, goynge in alle the maundementis and iustifiyngis of the Lord, withouten pleynt.
7 Men yo pa t gen pitit, akoz Elizabeth te esteril, e yo toude te avanse nan laj.
And thei hadden no child, for Elizabeth was bareyn, and bothe weren of grete age in her daies.
8 Alò, li vin rive ke pandan li t ap fè sèvis prèt la devan Bondye nan pwòp tan divizyon pa l,
And it bifel, that whanne Zacarie schulde do the office of preesthod, in the ordre of his cours tofor God,
9 selon koutim nan pozisyon li kon prèt, li te chwazi pa tiraj osò pou antre nan tanp Senyè a pou brile lansan.
aftir the custome of the preesthod, he wente forth bi lot, and entride in to the temple, to encense.
10 Tout foul pèp la t ap priye deyò a nan lè ofrann lansan an.
And al the multitude of the puple was with outforth, and preiede in the our of encensyng.
11 Konsa, yon zanj Bondye te parèt kote li, e te kanpe adwat lotèl lansan an.
And an aungel of the Lord apperide to hym, and stood on the riythalf of the auter of encense.
12 Zacharie te twouble lè l te wè li, elakrent te sezi li.
And Zacarie seynge was afraied, and drede fel vpon hym.
13 Men zanj lan te di l: “Ou pa bezwen pè, Zacharie, paske sa ou te mande a, tande nan syèl la, e madanm ou, Elizabeth, va fè yon fis pou ou, e ou va nonmen li Jean.
And the aungel seide to hym, Zacarie, drede thou not; for thi preyer is herd, and Elizabeth, thi wijf, schal bere to thee a sone, and his name schal be clepid Joon.
14 Ou va gen lajwa avèk kè kontan, e anpil moun va rejwi nan nesans li.
And ioye and gladyng schal be to thee; and many schulen `haue ioye in his natyuyte.
15 “Paske li va gran nan zye Bondye. Li p ap bwè ni diven, ni gwòg; e li va ranpli avèk Lespri Sen an menm lè l toujou nan vant.
For he schal be greet bifor the Lord, and he schal not drynke wyn and sidir, and he schal be fulfillid with the Hooli Goost yit of his modir wombe.
16 Li va fè anpil moun nan fis Israël yo retounen a Senyè a, Bondye yo a.
And he schal conuerte many of the children of Israel to her Lord God;
17 Se li ki va ale devan Li menm, nan lespri avèk pouvwa Élie a, pou fè kè a papa yo retounen a zanfan yo, e dezobeyisan yo a yon lespri ladwati; pou fè prepare yon pèp pou Bondye.”
and he schal go bifor hym in the spirit and the vertu of Helie; and he schal turne the hertis of the fadris in to the sones, and men out of bileue to the prudence of iust men, to make redi a perfit puple to the Lord.
18 Zacharie te di a zanj lan: “Kijan m ap fè konnen sa? Paske mwen menm se yon granmoun, e madanm mwen avanse nan laj.”
And Zacarie seide to the aungel, Wherof schal Y wite this? for Y am eld, and my wijf hath gon fer in to hir daies.
19 Zanj lan te reponn li e te di: “Mwen se Gabriel, ki kanpe nan prezans Bondye a. Mwen te voye pou pale ak ou, e pou pote bòn nouvèl sila a.
And the aungel answeride, and seide to hym, For Y am Gabriel, that stonde niy bifor God; and Y am sent to thee to speke, and to euangelize to thee these thingis.
20 Konsa, gade. Ou va rete an silans nèt, e ou p ap kapab pale jiskaske bagay sa yo rive, paske ou pa t kwè pawòl mwen, ki va akonpli nan pwòp lè pa l la.”
And lo! thou schalt be doumbe, and thou schalt not mow speke til in to the dai, in which these thingis schulen be don; for thou hast not bileued to my wordis, whiche schulen be fulfillid in her tyme.
21 Pèp la t ap tann Zacharie, e yo te etone pa reta ke li te fè nan tanp lan.
And the puple was abidynge Zacarie, and thei wondriden, that he tariede in the temple.
22 Men lè l parèt li pa t kapab pale avèk yo. Konsa, yo te vin konprann ke se te yon vizyon ke li te fè nan tanp lan. Li te kontinye fè sign bay yo, e te rete bèbè.
And he yede out, and myyte not speke to hem, and thei knewen that he hadde seyn a visioun in the temple. And he bikenyde to hem, and he dwellide stille doumbe.
23 Lè jou a sèvis li kon prèt te fini, li te retounen lakay li.
And it was don, whanne the daies of his office weren fulfillid, he wente in to his hous.
24 Apre jou sa yo, Elizabeth te vin ansent. Li te kache pandan senk mwa, e te di:
And aftir these daies Elizabeth, his wijf, conseyuede, and hidde hir fyue monethis, and seide,
25 “Se konsa ke Senyè a aji avè m nan jou ke Li te voye gras Li sou mwen, e Li te retire wont mwen pami lèzòm”.
For so the Lord dide to me in the daies, in whiche he bihelde, to take awei my repreef among men.
26 Alò, nan sizyèm mwa ansent Elizabeth la, zanj Gabriel la te voye sòti nan Bondye a yon vil nan Galilée ki te rele Nazareth,
But in the sixte moneth the aungel Gabriel was sent fro God in to a citee of Galilee, whos name was Nazareth,
27 a yon vyèj ki te fiyanse a yon nonm ki te rele Joseph, ki te sòti nan desandan David yo. Vyèj la te rele Marie.
to a maidyn, weddid to a man, whos name was Joseph, of the hous of Dauid; and the name of the maidun was Marie.
28 Lè l te antre, li te di li: “Sali a ou menm ki twouve favè! Bondye se avèk ou. Ou beni pami fanm yo!”
And the aungel entride to hir, and seide, Heil, ful of grace; the Lord be with thee; blessid be thou among wymmen.
29 Men Marie te twouble anpil pa pawòl sa a, e li t ap reflechi sou ki kalite salitasyon sa a te ye.
And whanne sche hadde herd, sche was troublid in his word, and thouyte what maner salutacioun this was.
30 Konsa zanj lan te di l: “Ou pa bezwen krent, Marie, paske ou gen tan twouve favè ak Bondye.
And the aungel seide to hir, Ne drede thou not, Marie, for thou hast foundun grace anentis God.
31 Gade byen, ou va vin ansent. Ou va fè yon fis, e ou va bay li non a Jésus.
Lo! thou schalt conceyue in wombe, and schalt bere a sone, and thou schalt clepe his name Jhesus.
32 Li va gran e Li va rele Fis a Pi Wo a; epi Senyè Bondye a va bay Li twòn a zansèt Li a, David.
This schal be greet, and he schal be clepid the sone of the Hiyeste; and the Lord God schal yeue to hym the seete of Dauid, his fadir,
and he schal regne in the hous of Jacob with outen ende, and of his rewme schal be noon ende. (aiōn g165)
34 Marie te di a zanj lan: “Kijan bagay sa a kapab ye, paske mwen menm se yon vyèj?”
And Marie seide to the aungel, On what maner schal this thing be doon, for Y knowe not man?
35 Zanj lan te reponn. Li te di li: “Lespri Sen an va vini sou ou, e pwisans a Pi Wo a va kouvri ou avèk lonbraj Li. Pou rezon sa a, pitit sen sa a va rele Fis a Bondye.
And the aungel answeride, and seide to hir, The Hooly Goost schal come fro aboue in to thee, and the vertu of the Hiyeste schal ouerschadewe thee; and therfor that hooli thing that schal be borun of thee, schal be clepid the sone of God.
36 Epi veye byen, menm nan fanmi ou Elizabeth anplis gen tan vin ansent avèk yon fis nan vyeyès li, e li menm ki te rele esteril, koulye a, nan sizyèm mwa li.
And lo! Elizabeth, thi cosyn, and sche also hath conceyued a sone in hir eelde, and this moneth is the sixte to hir that is clepid bareyn;
37 Paske anyen pa enposib avèk Bondye.”
for euery word schal not be inpossible anentis God.
38 Marie te di li: “Men gade, sèvant-dedike a Senyè a; kite sa fèt sou mwen selon pawòl ou.” Konsa, zanj lan te kite li.
And Marie seide, Lo! the handmaydyn of the Lord; be it don to me aftir thi word. And the aungel departide fro hir.
39 Alò, nan moman sa a, Marie te leve. Li te sòti byen vit pou rive nan peyi kolin yo, nan yon vil yo rele Juda.
And Marie roos vp in tho daies, and wente with haaste in to the mounteyns, in to a citee of Judee.
40 Li te antre lakay a Zacharie, e te salye Elizabeth.
And sche entride in to the hous of Zacarie, and grette Elizabeth.
41 Li te rive ke lè Elizabeth te tande salitasyon Marie a, pitit la te sote nan vant li, epi Elizabeth te ranpli avèk Lespri Sen an.
And it was don, as Elizabeth herde the salutacioun of Marie, the yong child in hir wombe gladide. And Elizabeth was fulfillid with the Hooli Goost,
42 Li te kriye fò avèk yon gran vwa e te di: “Beni se ou pami fanm yo, e beni se fwi a vant ou an!
and criede with a greet vois, and seide, Blessid be thou among wymmen, and blessid be the fruyt of thi wombe.
43 Kijan bagay sa a rive m, ke manman Senyè mwen an ta vin kote mwen?
And whereof is this thing to me, that the modir of my Lord come to me?
44 Paske gade byen, lè son a salitasyon ou an te rive nan zòrèy mwen, pitit la te sote nan vant mwen avèk jwa.
For lo! as the voice of thi salutacioun was maad in myn eeris, the yong child gladide in ioye in my wombe.
45 Beni se sila a ki te kwè ke sa Senyè a te pale a ta vin akonpli.”
And blessid be thou, that hast bileued, for thilke thingis that ben seid of the Lord to thee, schulen be parfitli don.
46 Marie te di: “Nanm mwen egzalte Senyè a,
And Marie seide, Mi soule magnyfieth the Lord,
47 Lespri mwen gen tan rejwi nan Bondye, Sovè mwen an.
and my spirit hath gladid in God, myn helthe.
48 Paske li te gade eta ba sèvant Li an; paske gade byen, soti nan moman sa a jiska tout jenerasyon yo, yo va rele m beni.
For he hath biholdun the mekenesse of his handmaidun.
49 Paske Toupwisan an te fè gwo bagay pou mwen. Non Li sen.
For lo! of this alle generaciouns schulen seie that Y am blessid. For he that is myyti hath don to me grete thingis, and his name is hooli.
50 Epi mizerikòd Li sou jenerasyon apre jenerasyon vè sila ki krent Li yo.
And his mercy is fro kynrede in to kynredes, to men that dreden hym.
51 Li fè zèv pwisan yo avèk bra Li. Li te gaye sila avèk panse ògèy nan kè yo.
He made myyt in his arme, he scaterede proude men with the thouyte of his herte.
52 Li rale fè desann chèf yo sou twòn yo, e Li egzalte sila ki enb yo.
He sette doun myyti men fro sete, and enhaunside meke men.
53 Li ranpli sila ki grangou yo avèk bon bagay; e Li voye rich yo ale avèk men vid.
He hath fulfillid hungri men with goodis, and he hath left riche men voide.
54 Li bay sekou a Israël, sèvitè Li a, kon yon sonj mizerikòd Li,
He, hauynge mynde of his mercy, took Israel, his child;
as he hath spokun to oure fadris, to Abraham and to his seed, in to worldis. (aiōn g165)
56 Marie te rete avèk li pandan anviwon twa mwa, e te retounen lakay li.
And Marie dwellide with hir, as it were thre monethis, and turnede ayen in to hir hous.
57 Alò, lè te rive pou Elizabeth akouche, e li te fè yon fis.
But the tyme of beryng child was fulfillid to Elizabeth, and sche bare a sone.
58 Vwazen li yo avèk fanmi li yo te tande ke Senyè a te montre mizerikòd Li, e yo t ap rejwi avèk li.
And the neiyboris and cosyns of hir herden, that the Lord hadde magnyfied his mercy with hir; and thei thankiden hym.
59 Li te vin rive ke nan uityèm jou a, yo te vini pou sikonsi pitit la, e yo t ap rele li Zacharie, non a papa li.
And it was don in the eiyte dai, thei camen to circumcide the child; and thei clepiden hym Zacarie, bi the name of his fadir.
60 Men manman li te reponn e te di: “Non anverite, men l ap rele Jean.”
And his moder answeride, and seide, Nay, but he schal be clepid Joon.
61 Yo te di li: “Nanpwen pèsòn pami fanmi ou ki rele pa non sa a.”
And thei seiden to hir, For no man is in thi kynrede, that is clepid this name.
62 Konsa, yo te fè sign a papa a, pou konnen ki non li te vle bay li.
And thei bikeneden to his fadir, what he wolde that he were clepid.
63 Li te mande yon tablo, e te ekri konsa: “Non li se Jean”. Yo tout te etone.
And he axynge a poyntil, wroot, seiynge, Joon is his name.
64 Konsa, nan yon sèl kou bouch li te louvri, lang li te vin lache e li te kòmanse pale e bay glwa a Bondye.
And alle men wondriden. And anoon his mouth was openyd, and his tunge, and he spak, and blesside God.
65 Lakrent te vin tonbe sou tout sila yo ki te rete nan landwa sila a; epi tout bagay sa yo te pale nan tout peyi kolin a Juda yo.
And drede was maad on alle her neiyboris, and alle these wordis weren pupplischid on alle the mounteyns of Judee.
66 Tout sila ki te tande koze sa yo te sonje sa, e te toujou mande: “Alò, kisa nou sipoze pitit sa a va devni?” Paske men Senyè a te vrèman sou li.
And alle men that herden puttiden in her herte, and seiden, What maner child schal this be? For the hoond of the Lord was with hym.
67 Papa li, Zacharie, ranpli avèk Lespri Sen an, te pwofetize. Li te di:
And Zacarie, his fadir, was fulfillid with the Hooli Goost, and prophesiede,
68 Beni se Senyè a, Bondye Israël la, paske li vizite nou, Li te acheve redanmsyon pou pèp Li a.
and seide, Blessid be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visitid, and maad redempcioun of his puple.
69 Li te leve yon kòn sali pou nou lakay David la, sèvitè Li a.
And he hath rerid to vs an horn of heelthe in the hous of Dauid, his child.
As he spak bi the mouth of hise hooli prophetis, that weren fro the world. (aiōn g165)
71 Delivrans sou lènmi nou yo, ak nan men a tout sila ki rayi nou yo;
Helthe fro oure enemyes, and fro the hoond of alle men that hatiden vs.
72 pou montre mizerikòd vè zansèt nou yo, e pou sonje akò sen Li an,
To do merci with oure fadris, and to haue mynde of his hooli testament.
73 Sèman ke Li te fè a Abraham, zansèt nou an,
The greet ooth that he swoor to Abraham, oure fadir, to yyue hym silf to vs.
74 pou pèmèt ke nou menm, ki te delivre nan men lènmi nou yo, ta kapab sèvi Li san krent,
That we with out drede delyuered fro the hoond of oure enemyes,
75 nan sentete ak ladwati devan Li, pandan tout jou nou yo.
serue to hym, in hoolynesse and riytwisnesse bifor hym in alle oure daies.
76 Epi ou menm pitit, ou va rele pwofèt a Pi Wo a; paske ou va ale devan Senyè a, pou prepare chemen Li an;
And thou, child, schalt be clepid the prophete of the Hiyest; for thou schalt go bifor the face of the Lord, to make redi hise weies.
77 pou bay pèp Li a konesans a sali a, pou padon peche pa yo.
To yyue scyence of helthe to his puple, in to remyssioun of her synnes;
78 Akoz de mizerikòd byen dous a Bondye nou an, k ap fè Solèy ki leve soti anwo a vin vizite nou.
bi the inwardnesse of the merci of oure God, in the whiche he spryngynge vp fro an hiy hath visitid vs.
79 Pou briye sou sila ki chita nan tenèb yo ak nan lonbraj lanmò a, pou gide pye nou nan chemen lapè a.
To yyue liyt to hem that sitten in derknessis and in schadewe of deeth; to dresse oure feet in to the weie of pees.
80 Pitit la te kontinye grandi, e te vin fò nan lespri. Konsa, li te viv nan dezè yo jis jou li te parèt piblikman an Israël.
And the child wexide, and was coumfortid in spirit, and was in desert placis `til to the dai of his schewing to Israel.
