Lik 16
1 Alò, Li t ap osi di a disip yo: “Te gen yon sèten mesye rich ki te gen yon jeran. Konsa, yon rapò te vin rive ke li t apgaspiye byen li yo.
And he spoke a parable to his disciples. There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and accusations were brought to him of him, that he squandered his property.
2 Li te rele li, e te di li: ‘Kisa ke m tande sou ou la a? Bay yon kontwòl sou jerans ou, paske ou pa kab jeran ankò.’
And his lord called him, and said to him: What is this that I hear of thee? Render to me an account of thy stewardship; for thou canst no longer be my steward.
3 “Jeran an te di a pwòp tèt li: ‘Kisa m ta fè, paske mèt mwen ap retire jerans lan nan men mwen? Mwen pa gen ase fòs pou m fouye, e mwen wont mande lacharite.
And the steward said with himself: What shall I do, since my lord is about to take from me the stewardship? To dig, I am unable; and to become a beggar, I am ashamed.
4 Mwen konnen kisa mwen va fè, pou lè yo retire m nan jerans lan, pou moun yo kab resevwa m lakay pa yo a.’
I know what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
5 “Konsa, li te rele chak moun ki te dwe mèt li a. Li te kòmanse di a premye a: ‘Konbyen ou dwe mèt mwen an?’
And he called each one of his lord's debtors; and he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 “Li te di: ‘San mezi lwil’. E li te di li: ‘Pran nòt ou e chita byen vit pou ekri senkant.’
And he said to him, One hundred measures of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write Fifty measures.
7 “Answit, li te di a yon lòt: ‘Epi konbyen ou dwe? “Li te reponn: ‘San mezi ble.’ E li te di li: ‘Pran nòt ou pou ekri katreven.’
And he said to another: And how much owest thou to my lord? And he said to him, One hundred cors of wheat. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down, and write Eighty cors.
8 “Konsa, mèt la te fè konpliman a jeran enjis la, paske li te aji avèk yon koken sajès. Paske fis a laj sila yo pi koken nan relasyon a moun parèy yo pasefis a limyè yo. (aiōn g165)
And our Lord praised the unrighteous steward, for having acted sagaciously: for the children of this world are more sagacious than the children of light, in this their generation. (aiōn g165)
9 “Mwen di nou: “Fè zanmi pou tèt nou pa mwayen arichès enjis yo; pou lè l echwe, yo kapab resevwa nou nan kay ki etènèl yo. (aiōnios g166)
And I also say to you: Make to yourselves friends, with this unrighteous mammon; so that when it is finished, they may receive you to their everlasting tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
10 “Sila a ki fidèl nan yon ti bagay piti, ap fidèl osi nan bagay ki gran. E sila ki enjis nan ti bagay piti, ap enjis osi nan bagay ki gran.
He that is faithful in the little, is also faithful in the much; and he that is unjust in the little, is also unjust in the much.
11 “Donk, si nou pa fidèl nan sèvisrichès enjis yo, kilès ki va konfye nou vrè richès yo.
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the reality?
12 Epi si nou pa fidèl nan sèvis ak sa ki pou yon lòt, kilès ki va bannou sa ki pou nou?
And if ye have not been found faithful in that which is not yours, who will give to you that which is yours?
13 “Okenn sèvitè pa kapab sèvi de mèt; paske swa l ap rayi youn, e renmen lòt la, oswa l ap kenbe a youn e meprize lòt la. Nou pa kapab sèvi Bondye, ak richès yo.”
There is no servant, who can serve two lords. For, either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will honor the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Alò, Farizyen yo ki te renmen lajan anpil t ap koute tout bagay sa yo, e yo t ap moke L.
And the Pharisees, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.
15 Li te di yo: “Nou menm se sila yo ki jistifye pwòp tèt nou nan zye lèzòm, menBondye konnen kè nou. Paske sila ki gen gwo valè pami lèzòm yo, yo abominab nan zye Bondye.
And Jesus said to them: Ye are such as justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your heart: for that which is exalted among men, is abominable before God.
16 “Lalwa avèk pwofèt yo te pwoklame jiska Jean. Depi lè sa a bòn nouvèl a wayòm Bondye a preche, e tout moun ap fòse antre ladann.
The law and the prophets were until John: since then, the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and every one presseth it to enter in.
17 Men li pi fasil pou syèl la avèk tè a vin disparèt pase pou yon sèl mak oubyen lèt Lalwa ta anile.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one letter to pass from the law.
18 “Nenpòt moun ki divòse ak madanm li pou marye avèk yon lòt fè adiltè; e sila a ki marye a youn ki divòse ak yon mari, fè adiltè.
Whoever putteth away his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and whoever taketh her that is put away, committeth adultery.
19 “Alò, te gen yon sèten mesye rich ki te toujou abiye an mov ak lèn fen, e ki t ap viv nan gran richès chak jou.
And there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in fine linen and scarlet, and passed every day in splendid luxury.
20 “Alò, yon sèten mesye pòv ki te rele Lazare tekouche devan pòtay li, kouvri nèt avèk maleng.
And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Lazarus; and he was laid at the gate of the rich man, smitten with ulcers.
21 Li te byen anvi resevwa sèl ti mòso ki t ap tonbe soti sou tab mesye rich la. Anplis menm chen te konn vin pou niche maleng li yo.
And he desired to fill his belly with the fragments that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs also came and licked his ulcers.
22 “Epi li rive ke nonm malere a te mouri, e li te vin pote pa zanj yo pou rive nan senAbraham nan. Konsa, mesye rich la te mouri tou, e li te antere.
And so it was, that the poor man died; and angels transported him to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Nanplas sejou mò yo, li te nan toumant. Li te leve zye li, e te wè Abraham byen lwen, ak Lazare nan sen li. (Hadēs g86)
And being tormented in hell, he raised his eyes from afar off, and saw Abraham, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Li te kriye fò, e te di: ‘Papa Abraham, fè m gras, voye Lazare pou li kapab mete dwèt li nan dlo pou rafrechi lang mwen! Paske mwen nan doulè ekstrèm nan flanm sa a.
And he called with a loud voice, and said: Abraham, my father, have pity on me; and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and moisten my tongue; for, lo, I am tormented in this flame.
25 “Men Abraham te di: ‘Pitit, sonje ke pandan lavi ou, ou te resevwa bon bagay yo. E menm jan an, Lazare te resevwa move bagay yo. Men koulye a, l ap konsole isit la, e ou menm nan gran doulè.
And Abraham said to him: My son, remember, that thou receivedst thy good things in thy lifetime, and Lazarus his evil things: and now, behold he is here at rest, and thou art tormented.
26 Anplis de sa, antre nou avèk ou menm, gen yon gran vid byen etabli pou anpeche sila isit yo ki vle travèse kote ou a, e ke pèsòn pa kapab travèse soti la a pou rive kote nou menm nan.’
And with all these, there is a great barrier between us and you; so that they who would pass from here to you, cannot; neither can they pass from there to us
27 “Pou sa li te di: ‘Alò, mwen sipliye ou Papa, pou ou voye li lakay papa m—
He said to him: I pray thee, therefore, my father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house;
28 Pwiske mwen gen senk frè—pou li kapab avèti yo, pou ke yo menm tou pa vini nan plas toumant sa a.’
for I have five brothers; that he may go and protest to them; lest they also come to this place of torment.
29 “Men Abraham te di: ‘Yo gen Moïse avèk pwofèt yo. Kite yo tande yo.’
Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 “Men li te di: ‘Non. Papa Abraham, men si yon moun ta sòti nan mò a, ale kote yo, yo va repanti!’
But he said to him: No, my father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 “Men li te di yo: ‘Si yo pa koute Moïse avèk pwofèt yo, nonpli, yo p ap kwè menm si yon moun leve soti nan lanmò.
Abraham said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not believe, though one should rise from the dead.
