Lik 11
1 Li te rive ke pandan Li t ap priye nan yon sèten kote, lè L te fini, youn nan disip Li yo te di Li: Senyè, montre nou kijan pou nou priye, menm jan ke Jean osi te montre disip li yo.
It happened he was praying in a certain place, and when he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, "Master, teach us how to pray, just as Johntaught his disciples."
2 Li te di yo: “Lè n ap priye, di: ‘Papa nou ki nan syèl la, ke non Ou kapab Sen. Ke wayòm Ou kapab vini. Ke volonte ou kapab fèt sou latè a, menm jan kon nan syèl la.
So he said to them. "When you pray, say, "Father, hallowed be thy name; May thy kingdom come,
3 Bannou chak jou pen nou pou jounen an.
"Give us day by day our bread for the coming day;
4 Konsa, padone peche nou yo, paske nou menm osi padone tout sila ki dwe nou. Pa mennen nou nan tantasyon, men delivre nou de sila ki mechan an.’”
"Forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone who has offended us; "And bring us not into temptation."
5 Answit, Li te di yo: “Sipoze ke youn nan nou ta gen yon zanmi, e nou ale kote li a minwi pou di li: ‘Zanmi, prete m twa mòso pen.
He also said to them. "Suppose you have a friend and you go to him, ‘My friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 Mwen gen yon zanmi ki vini, soti nan yon vwayaj, e mwen pa gen anyen pou mete devan l.’
"for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
7 Depi anndan, li va di: ‘Pa deranje m! Pòt la fèmen deja. Pitit mwen yo avèk mwen menm deja nan kabann nan, e mwen pa kapab leve pou bay ou anyen.’
"and he from indoors shall answer. ‘Do not pester me. The door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give to you.’
8 Mwen di nou, menm si li p ap leve bay li anyen paske li se zanmi li, men akoz pèsistans li, l ap leve pou bay li kont sa li bezwen.
"I tell you that, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunate persistence he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
9 “Donk Mwen di nou: Mande, e nou va resevwa. Chache e nou va twouve. Frape, e l ap ouvri bannou.
"So I say to you. "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.
10 Paske tout moun ki mande, va resevwa. Sila a ki chache, va twouve. E a sila a ki frape, l ap ouvri.
"For he that asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door shall be opened.
11 “Alò, sipoze ke youn nan papa nou yo resevwa yon demann de fis li pou yon pen. Li p ap bay li yon wòch olye de pen. Se pa sa? O si li mande pou yon pwason, èske li va bay li yon kolèv?
"What father is there among you who, if his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish will give him instead a serpent?
12 Oubyen si li mande li pou bay li yon ze, èske l ap bay li yon eskòpyon?
"Or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
13 Si nou menm ki mechan, alò, konnen kijan pou bay bon kado a pitit nou yo, konbyen anplis Papa nou nan syèl la va bay Lespri Sen an a sila yo ki mande Li?”
"If you give good gifts to your children, how much more shall the Father who is in heaven give the Holy spirit to those that ask him!"
14 Answit, Li t ap chase yon dyab nan yon bèbè. Lè dyab la te fin sòti, gason bèbè a te pale. Konsa, foul la te etone.
Once he was casting out a dumb demon, and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people wondered.
15 Men kèk nan yo te di: “Li chase dyab yo pa Béelzébul, mèt dyab yo.”
But some of them said, "It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he cast out demons."
16 Gen Lòt yo, pou teste L, t ap mande L yon sign ki sòti nan syèl la.
Others, tempting him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.
17 Men Li te konnen panse yo. Li te di yo: “Nenpòt wayòm ki divize kont tèt li va detwi. E yon kay divize kont tèt li ap tonbe.
He knew their intentions and said to them. "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste and house falls upon house.
18 Si Satan osi divize kont tèt li, kijan wayòm li an va kanpe? Paske nou di ke Mwen chase dyab yo pa Béelzébul.
"And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
19 Men si Mwen menm pa Béelzébul chase dyab yo, pa kilès fis nou yo konn chase yo? Konsa, se yo menm k ap jij nou yo.
"Do you say that I am casting out demons by the power of Beelzebub? If I then am casting out demons by Beelzebub, by whom are your sons casting them out? They therefore shall be your judges.
20 Men, si Mwen chase dyab yo ak dwèt Bondye a, alò, wayòm syèl la gen tan vini sou nou.
"But if it is by the finger of God that I am casting out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 Lè yon nonm fò, plen zam, veye pwòp kay li, byen li yo rete ansekirite.
"When the strong man fully aroused keeps guard over his homestead, his property is undisturbed;
22 Men lè yon moun avèk plis fòs pase l vin atake l, li bat li, e li retire nan men li tout zam li yo, pou l vin divize piyaj la.
"but when the stronger man attacks him, he takes away from the strong armor in which he was trusting and divides up the spoil.
23 Sila ki pa avèk Mwen an, kont Mwen; e sila ki pa rasanble avè Mwen an, ap gaye.
"He who is not for me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering.
24 Lè lespri enpi a kite yon nonm, li travèse kote ki sèch pou chache repo. Lè l pa twouve, li di: ‘Mwen va retounen lakay mwen kote m sòti a.’
"Whenever a foul spirit is gone out of a man, it roams through waterless places, in search of rest; but when it can find none, it says, ‘I will go back to the house which I have left.’
25 “Lè l vini, li touve l byen bale, e mete an lòd.
When it comes and finds the house completely swept and garnished.
26 Answit li sòti pou chache pran sèt lòt dyab pi mal pase li menm, e yo vin antre pou viv la. Konsa, dènye eta a nonm sa a pi mal pase premye a.”
"Then it goes off and fetches seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first."
27 Pandan Jésus t ap di bagay sa yo, youn nan fanm yo nan foul la te leve vwa li. Li te di Li: “Beni se vant ki te pote Ou a, e tete kote Ou te souse a.”
It happened while he was saying this, that a certain woman out of the crowd shouted to him, saying, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breast that you have sucked."
28 Men Li te di: “Okontrè, beni se sila yo ki tande pawòl Bondye a, e ki swiv li.”
"No, rather," he answered, "blessed are those who listen to the word of God, and keep it."
29 Pandan foul la t ap ogmante, Li te kòmanse di: “Jenerasyon sila a se yon jenerasyon pèvès; l ap chache yon sign, men okenn sign p ap bay, sof ke sign a Jonas la.
When the crowd were beginning to throng about him he proceeded to say. "This is an evil generation! It seeks a sign, and there shall be no sign be given to it except the sign of Jonah;
30 Paske menm jan ke Jonas te vin yon sign pou Ninivit yo, menm jan an Fis a Lòm nan va ye pou jenerasyon sila a.
"for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man be to this generation.
31 “Rèn Sid la va leve avèk lèzòm a jenerasyon sila a nan jijman, e kondane yo; akoz li menm te vini soti nan lekstremite tè a pou tande sajès a Salomon, e konsa, veye byen, gen yon bagay pi gran pase Salomon isit la.
"The queen of the South shall rise up in Judgement with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them; because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, one greater than Solomon is here!
32 “Lèzòm Niniv yo va kanpe avèk jenerasyon sila a nan jijman an, e kondane li, paske yo te repanti lè Jonas te preche. Konsa, veye byen, gen yon bagay pi gran ke Jonas isit la.
"The men of the Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with his generation and shall condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and lo! one greater than Jonah is here!
33 “Pèsòn, lè l fin limen yon lanp pa mete li nan yon kote an kachèt, ni anba yon panyen, men sou yon chandelye, pou sila ki antre yo kapab wè limyè a.
"When one lights a lamp he does not put it in a cellar nor under the bushel, but on a lamp-stand that those who enter may see the light.
34 “Lanp a kò nou se zye nou. Lè zye nou klè, tout kò nou osi ranpli avèk limyè; men lè l pa bon, kò nou osi ranpli avèk tenèb.
"The lamp of the body is your eye; when your eye is single then your whole body is full of light; but when it is evil your whole body is full of darkness.
35 “Alò, veye ke limyè nan nou an pa tenèb.
"Look carefully! Perhaps that very light of yours is darkness.
36 “Si donk, tout kò nou ranpli avèk limyè, san tenèb ladann, li va klere nèt, tankou lè lanp klere nou avèk reyon li.”
"If, however, your whole body is full of light, without having any part dark, it will be wholly radiant with light, as when the lamp illumines you with its bright rays."
37 Alò, lè L fin pale, yon Farizyen te mande Li pou dine avè L. Li te antre e te repoze sou tab la.
When he had finished speaking a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in with him and reclined.
38 Lè Farizyen an te wè sa, li te etone, paske Li pa t fè devwa lave men L avan manje a.
And the Pharisee noticed, to his amazement, that he did not wash his hands before eating,
39 Men Senyè a te di: “Nou menm Farizyen yo netwaye tas la pa deyò, ansanm ak plato a. Men anndan nou ranpli avèk vòl ak mechanste.
but the Lord said to him. "You Pharisee do cleanse the outside of your cup or plate, but your secret heart is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Nou menm bann ensanse, èske Sila ki te fè deyò a, pa t fè anndan an tou?
"Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Men bay sa ki anndan an kòm charite, e konsa tout bagay ap pwòp pou nou.
"Better cleanse what is within, and nothing will be unclean for you.
42 “Men malè a nou menm, Farizyen yo! Paske nou peye ladim, mant, ak lari de tout epis jaden an. Malgre sa, nou neglije lajistis avèk lanmou Bondye. Men bagay sa yo nou te dwe fè, san neglije lòt yo.
"But woe unto you Pharisee! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and disregard justice and the love of God; but these you ought to have done, and not leave the other undone.
43 Malè a nou menm, Farizyen yo! Paske nou renmen chèz a chèf nan sinagòg yo, ak salitasyon respè nan mache yo.
"Woe unto you Pharisee! for you delight in the best seats in the synagogue, and in the salutation in the market-places.
44 Malè a nou menm! Paske nou tankou tonm kache, pou moun mache sou yo san ke yo pa menm konnen.”
"Woe unto you! for you are like the tombs which are hidden, and men walk over them unsuspecting."
45 Youn nan avoka yo te reponn Li: “Mèt, lè Ou di sa, W ap ensilte nou osi.”
Hereupon one of the lawyers exclaimed, "But teacher, in saying such things you are also reproaching us also."
46 Konsa, Li te di: “Malè a nou menm, avoka yo osi! Paske nou chaje kò a moun avèk chaj ki lou, pandan nou menm, nou p ap menm manyen chaj sa yo avèk youn nan dwèt nou.
"Woe unto you lawyers also!" said Jesus, "for you load men with irksome burdens, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 “Malè a nou menm! Paske nou bati tonm a pwofèt yo, pandan se zansèt nou yo ki te touye yo.
"Woe to you! for you are building the tombs of the prophets whom you ancestors killed.
48 Konsa, nou vin temwen yo, e vin dakò avèk zak a zansèt nou yo. Paske se te yo menm ki te touye yo, e se nou ki bati tonm yo.
"So you are witnesses, and you consent to the actions of your ancestors. for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 “Pou rezon sa, sajès a Bondye te di: “Mwen va voye bay yo pwofèt ak apòt. Kèk yo va touye, e kèk yo va pèsekite;
"For this reason also said the Wisdom of God. ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and some they will persecute;
50 jiskaske tout san a pwofèt yo ki te vèse depi fondasyon mond lan kapab chaje kont jenerasyon sila a,
"so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required from this generation,
51 soti nan san Abel la, jis rive nan san a Zacharie, ki te peri antre nan otèl la ak kay Bondye a. Wi, Mwen di nou, li va chaje kont jenerasyon sila a.
"from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the alter and the sanctuary; yes; I tell you, it shall be required of this generation!
52 “Malè a nou menm, avoka yo! Paske yo pran nan men nou kle konesans lan. Nou pa t antre nou menm, e sila ki t ap antre ladann yo, nou te anpeche yo.”
"Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge!’ You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who are trying to enter."
53 Lè L te kite la, skrib yo avèk Farizyen yo te kòmanse vin move anpil. Yo te kesyone L byen pre sou anpil sijè,
After he had gone away, the Scribes and the Pharisee began to set themselves vehemently against him, and to cross-question him upon many points,
54 paske yo t ap eseye fòme yon konplo kont Li pou kenbe L nan yon pawòl ke Li ta petèt pale.
laying in wait for him, in order to catch a word from his lips.
