Lik 17
1 Li te di a disip Li yo: “Li nesesè ke wòch k ap fè moun chite yo vin parèt, men malè a sila a ke atravè l sa rive!
Jesus said to His disciples, "It is inevitable that causes of stumbling should come; but alas for him through whom they come!
2 Li ta miyò pou li si yon wòch moulen te pann nan kou li, e te jete nan mitan lanmè, pase ke li ta fè youn nan pitit sa yo vin tonbe.
It would be well for him if, with a millstone round his neck, he were lying at the bottom of the sea, rather than that he should cause even one of these little ones to fall.
3 “Fè atansyon! Si frè nou peche, reprimande l; e si li repanti, padone l.
Be on your guard. "If your brother acts wrongly, reprove him; and if he is sorry, forgive him;
4 Epi si li peche kont nousèt fwa pa jou, e retounen vè nou sèt fwa pou di ‘Mwen repanti’, padone l.”
and if seven times in a day he acts wrongly towards you, and seven times turns again to you and says, 'I am sorry,' you must forgive him."
5 Alò, apòt yo te di: “Senyè, fè nou gen plis lafwa!”
And the Apostles said to the Lord, "Give us faith."
6 Senyè a te di: “Si nou te gen lafwa tankou yongrenn moutad, nou ta di a pye sikomò sila a, ‘Derasine ou e ale plante ou nan lanmè;’ konsa, li ta obeyi nou.
"If your faith," replied the Lord, "is like a mustard seed, you might command this black-mulberry-tree, 'Tear up your roots and plant yourself in the sea,' and instantly it would obey you.
7 “Men kilès nan nou, ki te gen yon esklav ki t ap laboure tè a, oswa k ap okipe mouton, ki va di li lè li vini soti nan chan an, vini koulye a pou chita manje?
But which of you who has a servant ploughing, or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the farm, 'Come at once and take your place at table,'
8 Men èske li p ap di li: ‘Prepare yon bagay pou m manje; mete rad pwòp sou ou, e sèvi m pandan mwen ap manje ak bwè? E aprè, ou va manje e bwè’?
and will not rather say to him, 'Get my dinner ready, make yourself tidy, and wait upon me till I have finished my dinner, and then you shall have yours'?
9 Li p ap remèsye esklav la paske li te fè bagay ki te kòmande yo. Èske se pa vrè?
Does he thank the servant for obeying his orders?
10 “Konsa, nou menm tou lè nou fè tout bagay ke yo kòmande nou fè, nou di: ‘Nou se esklav ki pa dign; nou fè sèlman sa ke nou dwe fè.’”
So you also, when you have obeyed all the orders given you, must say, "'There is no merit in our service: what we have done is only what we were in duty bound to do.'"
11 Pandan Li te nan wout vè Jérusalem, Li t ap pase antre Samarie ak Galilée.
As they pursued their journey to Jerusalem, He passed through Samaria and Galilee.
12 Pandan Li t ap antre nan yon sèten vilaj, dis lepre ki te kanpe a yon distans te rankontre L.
And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him who were lepers and stood at a distance.
13 Yo te leve vwa yo e t ap di: “Jésus, Mèt, fè nou gras!”
In loud voices they cried out, "Jesus, Rabbi, take pity on us."
14 Lè Li te wè yo, Li te di yo: “Ale montre nou menm a prèt yo.” Pandan yo t ap prale, yo te vin pirifye.
Perceiving this, He said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the Priests." And while on their way to do this they were made clean.
15 Men youn nan yo, lè l wè ke li te geri, te vire retounen e te bay glwa a Bondye avèk yon vwa byen fò.
One of them, seeing that he was cured, came back, adoring and praising God in a loud voice,
16 Li te tonbe sou figi li nan pye Jésus, e t ap bay Li remèsiman. Li te yon Samariten.
and he threw himself at the feet of Jesus, thanking Him. He was a Samaritan.
17 Jésus te reponn e te di: “Se pa dis ki te pirifye? Men nèf yo—-kote yo ye?
"Were not all ten made clean?" Jesus asked; "but where are the nine?
18 Èske pa t gen youn ki te vire tounen poubay glwa a Bondye sof etranje sila a?”
Have none been found to come back and give glory to God except this foreigner?"
19 Epi Li te di li: “Leve al fè wout ou. Lafwa ou geri ou.”
And He said to him, "Rise and go: your faith has cured you."
20 Alò, lè L te kesyone pa Farizyen yo sou kilè wayòm a Bondye a t ap vini, Li te reponn yo e te di: “Wayòm syèl la p ap vini avèk sign ak mirak pou nou kab wè;
Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God was coming, He answered, "The Kingdom of God does not so come that you can stealthily watch for it.
21 ni yo p apdi: ‘Men li isit la!’ Oubyen ‘men li la!’ Paske, veye byen, wayòm syèl la nan mitan nou.”
Nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' --for the Kingdom of God is within you."
22 Ankò Li te di a disip yo: “Jou yo ap vini lè nou va anvi wè youn nan jou Fis a Lòm yo, e nou p ap wè l.
Then, turning to His disciples, He said, "There will come a time when you will wish you could see a single one of the days of the Son of Man, but will not see one.
23 Yo va di nou: ‘Gade la! Gade isit la!’ Pa ale, e pa kouri dèyè yo.
And they will say to you, 'See there!' 'See here!' Do not start off and go in pursuit.
24 “Paske menm jan ak loray, lè l fè ekleraj nan yon pati nan syèl la briye jis rive nan lòt pati syèl la, se konsa Fis a Lòm nan va ye nan jou Li a.
For just as the lightning, when it flashes, shines from one part of the horizon to the opposite part, so will the Son of Man be on His day.
25 Men dabò, fòk li soufri anpil bagay e rejte pa jenerasyon sila a.
But first He must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the present generation.
26 “Menm jan ke sa te rive nan tan Noé a, se konsa l ap ye nan jou Fis a Lòm yo.
"And as it was in the time of Noah, so will it also be in the time of the Son of Man.
27 “Yo t ap manje, yo t ap bwè, yo t ap marye e bay nan maryaj jis rive jou ke Noé te antre nan lach la; konsa, delij la te parèt e te detwi yo tout.
Men were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving wives, up to the very day on which Noah entered the Ark, and the Deluge came and destroyed them all.
28 “Se te menm jan ke sa te rive nanjou Lot yo; yo t ap manje, yo t ap bwè, yo t ap achte, yo t ap vann, yo t ap plante, yo t ap bati.
The same was true in the time of Lot: they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building;
29 “Men nan jou ke Lot te sòti nan Sodome nan, dife avèk souf te tonbe tankou lapli e te detwi yo tout.
but on the day that Lot left Sodom, God rained fire and brimstone from the sky and destroyed them all.
30 “Li va menm jan nan jou ke Fis a Lòm nanap revele a.
Exactly so will it be on the day that the veil is lifted from the Son of Man.
31 Nan jou sa a, sila a kisou twati kay, e ki gen byen nan kay la, pa pou desann pou pran yo. Menm jan an, sila ki nan chan an pa pou vire tounen.
"On that day, if a man is on the roof and his property indoors, let him not go down to fetch it; and, in the same way, he who is in the field, let him not turn back.
32 “Sonje madanm a Lot.
Remember Lot's wife.
33 “Nenpòt moun ki chache sove lavi li va pèdi li, e Nenpòt moun ki pèdi lavi li va konsève l.
Any man who makes it his object to keep his own life safe, will lose it; but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
34 “Mwen di nou ke nan nwit sa a, ap gen de moun nan yon sèl kabann; youn ap pran, e lòt la ap rete.
On that night, I tell you, there will be two men in one bed: one will be taken away and the other left behind.
35 Va gen de fanm k ap moulen nan menm kote a. Youn va pran, e lòt la va rete.
There will be two women turning the mill together: one will be taken away and the other left behind."
36 De mesye va nan chan an. Youn ap pran, e lòt la va rete.”
37 Konsa yo te reponn: “Ki kote, Senyè?” E Li te di yo: “Kotekadav la ye, se la votou yo va rasanble.”
"Where, Master?" they inquired. "Where the dead body is," He replied, "there also will the vultures flock together."
