Lik 18
1 Alò, Li t ap di yo yon parabòl pou montre ke nan tout tan yo te dwe priye, e pa dekouraje.
And he also spoke a parable to them about it being necessary to always pray, and not to give up,
2 Li t ap di: “Te gen nan yon sèten vil, yon jij ki pa t pè Bondye, ni pa trespekte moun.
saying, In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God, and did not regard man.
3 “Alò, Te gen yon vèv nan menm vil sa a, e li te toujou ap vin kote li pou di l: ‘Ban m pwoteksyon kont advèsè mwen an.’
And a widow was in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my opponent.
4 “Nan kòmansman, li pa t dakò, men apre li te vin di tèt li: ‘Malgre ke m pa pè Bondye, nirespekte moun,
And for a time he would not, but after these things he said within himself, Although I fear not God, and regard not man,
5 menakoz ke vèv sa a anmède m, mwen va bay li pwoteksyon legal. Otreman li ap kontinye vin kote mwen tout tan, e l ap fatige m nèt.’”
yet because this widow causes me a beating, I will avenge her, lest by no end of coming she give me a black eye.
6 Epi Senyè a te di: “Koute byen sa ke jij enjis la te vle di.
And the Lord said, Hear ye what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Alò, èske Bondye p ap fè jistis pousila Li chwazi yo, ki kriye a Li lajounen kon lannwit, epi èske Li vafè anpil reta sou yo?
And God, will he, no, not do the vengeance of his chosen who cry out to him day and night, and yet being patient toward them?
8 “Mwen di nou ke Li va fè jistis pou yo byen vit. Sepandan lè Fis a Lòm nan vini, èske Li va twouve lafwa sou latè?”
I say to you, that he will do their vengeance speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he then find faith on the earth?
9 Li te anplis pale parabòl sila a pou kèk moun ki te kwè nan tèt yo ke yo te jis, ete gade lòt yo kòm piba.
And he also spoke this parable to some of those who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous, and disdained other men.
10 “De mesyete monte nan tanp lan pou priye, yon Farizyen, e lòt la yon kolektè kontribisyon.
Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
11 “Farizyen an tekanpe e t ap priye konsa a li menm: ‘Bondye, mwen remèsye Ou ke mwen pa tankou lòt moun; twonpè yo, enjis yo, adiltè yo, oswa menm tankou kolektè kontribisyon sila a.
Having stood by himself, the Pharisee prayed these things: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, predatory, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
12 Mwen fè jèn de fwa chak semèn. Mwenpeye ladim sou tout sa mwen fè.’
I fast twice of the week. I tithe all things, as many as I acquire.
13 Men kolektè kontribisyon an te kanpe a yon distans, epa t menm dakò pou leve zye li vè syèl la, men lit ap bat lestomak li, e t ap di: “Bondye, fè gras a mwen, ki pechè a.
But the tax collector, having stood from afar, would not even lift his eyes to the sky, but beat upon his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinful man.
14 “Mwen di nou ke mesye sa a te desann lakay li jistifye pase lòt la, paskenenpòt moun ki leve tèt li va vin imilye, e sila a ki imilye tèt li a, va vin leve.”
I say to you, this man went down to his house justified rather than that man. Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.
15 Alò, yo t ap pote menm tibebe bay li pou Li ta kapab touche yo, men lè disip yo te wè sa, yo te kòmanse reprimande yo.
And they were also bringing the infants to him, so that he would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Men Jésus te rele yo, e te di: “Kite timoun yo vin kote Mwen, e pa anpeche yo, paske wayòm Bondye a se pou sila yo ki tankou yo menm.
But having summoned them, Jesus said, Allow the children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 “Anverite, Mwen di nou: ‘Nenpòt moun ki pa resevwa wayòm Bondye a tankou yon timoun, li p ap antre ladan l menm.’”
Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, will, no, not enter into it.
18 Konsa, yon sèten direktè te kesyone L e te di: “Bon mèt, kisa pou m ta fè pou eritye lavi etènèl?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, Good teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jésus te mande l: “Poukisa ou rele M bon? Nanpwen pèsòn ki bon sof ke Bondye sèl.
And Jesus said to him, Why do thou call me good? None is good except one, God.
20 Ou konnen kòmandman yo. ‘Pa fè adiltè, pa touye moun, pa vòlè, pa fè fo temwayaj, onore papa ou avèk manman ou.’”
Thou know the commandments. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not give false testimony. Honor thy father and thy mother.
21 Li te di: “Tout bagay sa yo mwen fè yo depi nan jenès mwen”.
And he said, All these things I have kept from my youth.
22 Lè Jésus te tande sa, Li te di li: “Yon sèl bagay ou manke toujou. Vann tout sa ke ou posede e separe yo bay malere. Konsa ou va gen richès nan syèl la, epi vin swiv Mwen.”
And when he heard these things, Jesus said to him, Yet one thing is lacking from thee. Sell all things, as many as thou have, and distribute to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
23 Men lè li te tande bagay sa yo, li te vin byen tris, paske li te gen anpil richès.
But when he heard these things, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24 Lè l wè tristès li, Jésus te gade l, e te di: “Tèlman li difisil pou sila ki rich yo antre nan wayòm Bondye a!
And having seen him become very sorrowful, Jesus said, How difficultly those who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Li pi fasil pou yon chamo pase nan zye a yon egwi, pase pou yon nonm rich ta antre nan wayòm Bondye a.”
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Sila yo ki te tande sa te di: “Alò, kilès ki kapab sove?”
And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?
27 Men Li te di: “Bagay ki pa posib avèk lòm posib avèk Bondye.”
And he said, The things impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Konsa, Pierre te di: “Gade byen, nou kite pwòp kay nou pou swiv Ou.”
And Peter said, Lo, we have left all and followed thee.
29 Li te di yo: “Anverite Mwen di nou ke pa gen pèsòn ki te kite kay, oswa madanm, oswa paran, oswa zanfan yo, pou koz a wayòm syèl la,
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, that there is no man who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Answit Li te pran douz yo sou kote, e te di yo: “Veye byen, n ap monte Jérusalem, e tout bagay ki te ekri pa pwofèt yo konsènan Fis a Lòm nan va vin acheve.
And having taken along the twelve, he said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets about the Son of man will be completed.
32 Paske Li va livre a etranje yo, e li va moke, maltrete, e y ap krache sou Li.
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33 Lè yo fin bat Li avèk fwèt, yo va touye Li. Epi nan twazyèm jou a, l ap leve ankò.”
And after scourging, they will kill him, and the third day he will rise up.
34 Men disip yo pa t konprann anyen nan bagay sa yo. Pawòl sa te kache a yo menm, e yo pa t konprann bagay ki t ap pale yo.
And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
35 Pandan Jésus t ap pwoche Jéricho, yon sèten mesye avèg te chita akote wout la pou mande charite.
And it came to pass as he approached Jericho, a certain blind man sat beside the road begging.
36 Alò, li te tande foul la ki t ap pase, e te kòmanse mande kisa sa te ye.
And having heard a multitude going by, he inquired what this may be.
37 Yo te reponn Li ke Jésus de Nazareth t ap pase.
And they informed him that Jesus the Nazarene passes by.
38 Konsa, li te kòmanse rele fò, e te di: “Jésus, Fis a David la, Fè m gras!”
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, be merciful to me.
39 Sila yo ki t ap dirije chemen an t ap pale sevèman avè l pou fè silans; men li te kriye pi fò, “Jésus, Fis a David la, Fè m gras!”
And those who went ahead rebuked him, so that he would be quiet, but he cried out much more, Thou son of David, be merciful to me.
40 Jésus te kanpe, e te bay lòd pou yo voye l kote Li. Lè l te vin toupre, Li te kesyone l:
And having stood still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he questioned him,
41 “Kisa ou vle M fè pou ou?” Epi Li te di: “Senyè, mwen vle vin wè ankò.”
saying, What do thou that I would do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive sight.
42 Jésus te di li: “Resevwa vizyon ou; lafwa ou fè ou geri.”
And Jesus said to him, Receive sight. Thy faith has healed thee.
43 Imedyatman, li te vin wè ankò. Konsa, li te kòmanse swiv Li e li t ap bay glwa a Bondye. Lè tout moun te wè sa, yo te bay lwanj a Bondye.
And immediately he received sight, and followed him glorifying God. And all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
