Lik 20
1 Nan youn nan jou ke Li t ap enstwi pèp la nan tanp lan, e preche bòn nouvèl la, chèf prèt yo avèk skrib yo avèk ansyen yo te vin parèt devan Li.
And it came to pass on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the good news, the chief priests and the scholars with the elders stood near.
2 Yo te mande Li: “Fè nou konnen pa ki otorite Ou fè bagay sa yo, oswa se kilès ki te bay Ou otorite sa a?”
And they spoke, saying to him, Tell us, by what authority are thou doing these things? Or who is he who gave thee this authority?
3 Jésus te reponn yo: “Mwen ap poze nou yon kesyon, epi fè M konnen:
And having answered, he said to them, I also will ask you one word, and ye tell me.
4 Èske batèm a Jean an te sòti nan syèl la, oswa nan lòm?”
The immersion of John, was it from heaven or from men?
5 Yo te rezone pami yo, e te di: “Si nou di ‘Nan syèl la’, l ap di: “Ebyen, poukisa nou pa t kwè li?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
6 Men si nou di: ‘Nan lòm’, tout pèp la va lapide nou avèk wòch jiskaske nou mouri, paske yo konvenk ke Jean te yon pwofèt.”
But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are convinced John is a prophet.
7 Konsa, yo te reponn ke yo pa t konnen kote sa sòti.
And they replied not to know from where.
8 Jésus te reponn yo: “Ni Mwen p ap di nou pa ki otorite ke M fè bagay sa yo.”
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 Li te kòmanse di pèp la parabòl sila a: Yon mesye te plante yon chan rezen. Li te lwe li a kiltivatè yo, e li te ale nan yon vwayaj ki te dire anpil.
And he began to speak this parable to the people. A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to farmers, and went abroad for a considerable time.
10 Nan tan rekòlt la, li te voye yon esklav kote kiltivatè yo pou yo ta kapab bay li kèk nan rekòlt chan an. Men ouvriye ki okipe lyàn rezen yo te bat li, e te voye li ale men vid.
And at the season he sent a bondman to the farmers, so that they would give him from the fruit of the vineyard. But having beaten him, the farmers sent him away empty.
11 Alò, li te eseye voye yon lòt esklav. Yo te bat li tou, e te maltrete l jiskaske se te yon eskandal. Konsa, yo te voye li ale men vid.
And he proceeded to send another bondman. And they, having beaten and shamefully treated, sent him also away empty.
12 Konsa, li te eseye voye yon twazyèm. Sila a osi yo te blese e te mete l deyò.
And he proceeded to send a third. And they also having wounded this man, cast him out.
13 Mèt chan an te di: “Kisa pou m ta fè la a? M ap voye fis byeneme mwen an. Petèt yo va respekte li.
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will be made ashamed after seeing this man.
14 Men lè ouvriye ki te okipe lyàn rezen yo te wè li, yo te rezone youn avèk lòt konsa: ‘Sa se eritye a. Annou touye li pou eritaj la kapab pou nou.’
But when the farmers saw him, they deliberated among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, so that the inheritance may become ours.
15 Donk yo te jete li deyò chan rezen an, e te touye li. Pou sa, kisa mèt chan rezen an ap fè yo?
And having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Li va vin detwi ouvriye chan sa yo, e li va bay chan rezen an a lòt.” Lè yo te tande li, yo te di: “Pa janm kite sa fèt!”
He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. And having heard it, they said, May it not happen!
17 Alò, Li te gade yo, e te di: “Ebyen sou kilès sa ekri: ‘Wòch ke sila ki t ap bati yo te rejte a; sila a te devni lang prensipal la.’?
But having looked upon them, he said, What then is this that is written, The stone that those who build rejected, this became the head of the corner?
18 Tout moun ki tonbe sou wòch sa a, va kraze an mòso; men sou nenpòt moun ke li menm tonbe, l ap gaye li tankou pousyè.”
Every man who falls on that stone will be broken, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust.
19 Skrib yo avèk chèf prèt yo te eseye mete men sou Li, nan menm lè sa a, men yo te pè pèp la. Paske yo te byen konprann ke Li te pale parabòl sa a kont yo menm.
And the chief priests and the scholars sought to throw hands on him in the same hour. And they were afraid, for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.
20 Donk yo te veye li, e te voye espyon ki te pretann ke se te moun jis yo te ye, pou yo ta kapab kenbe Li nan yon pawòl, pou yo ta kab livre Li devan lalwa a ak otorite gouvènè a.
And having watched him, they sent forth insidious men pretending themselves to be righteous, so that they might take hold of his word, in order to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
21 Yo te poze Li kesyon. Yo te mande l: “Mèt, nou konnen ke Ou pale e enstwi byen dwat, ke Ou pa nan patipri a pèsòn, men enstwi chemen Bondye a ak verite.
And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou speak and teach rightly, and thou do not accept a personage, but teach the way of God in truth,
22 Èske Li pèmi pou nou peye taks a César, oubyen non?”
Is it permitted for us to give tribute to Caesar or not?
23 Men Li te konprann koken yo. Li te reponn yo:
But having perceived their craftiness, he said to them, Why do ye try me?
24 “Montre M yon kòb denye. Se pòtre avèk enskripsyon a kilès moun li genyen?” Yo te di: “César”.
Display to me a denarius. Whose image and inscription has it? And having answered, they said, Caesar's.
25 Li te di yo: “Pou sa, bay a César sa ki pou César, e a Bondye, sa ki pou Bondye.”
And he said to them, Then render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.
26 Yo pa t kapab kenbe L nan yon pawòl nan prezans a pèp la; e byen etone pa repons Li, yo te vin rete an silans.
And they were unable to lay hold of his word before the people. And having marveled at his answer, they were silent.
27 Alò kèk nan Sadiseyen yo te vin kote L, (sa yo ki di ke pa gen rezirèksyon).
And some of the Sadducees having approached, those who say there is no resurrection, they questioned him,
28 Yo te kesyone L, konsa: “Mèt, Moïse te ekri pou nou ke si frè a yon mesye mouri avèk yon madanm, san li pa fè pitit, frè li a ta dwe pran madanm li, e fè reyisi yon posterite pou frè li a.
saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, if any brother dies, having a wife, and this man dies childless, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 Alò, konsa, te gen sèt frè. Premye a te pran yon madanm, e li te mouri san pitit.
There were therefore seven brothers. And the first having taken a wife, died childless.
30 Konsa, dezyèm nan,
And the second took the woman, and this man died childless.
31 epi twazyèm nan te pran l. Epi menm jan an, tout nan sèt yo te pran l, e tout te mouri san kite pitit.
And the third likewise took her, and likewise also the seven; they left behind no children, and died.
32 Finalman, fanm nan te mouri tou.
And last of all the woman also died.
33 Konsa, nan rezirèksyon an, se madanm a kilès l ap ye? Paske toule sèt moun yo te genyen li kòm madanm.”
In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them does she become? For the seven had her as wife.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, The sons of this age marry, and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 Men sila yo ki konsidere dign pou rive nan laj sila a, e rezirèksyon a mò yo, pa marye, ni yo pa bay moun nan maryaj. (aiōn g165)
but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 Ni, yo pa kapab mouri ankò, paske yo tankou zanj, e se fis a Bondye, fis a rezirèksyon an.
For neither can they die any more, for they are like the agents, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 Men ke mò yo leve, te montre menm pa Moïse nan pasaj sou touf bwa ki t ap boule a, kote li rele Senyè a Bondye Abraham nan, Bondye Isaac la ak Bondye a Jacob la. Alò, Li pa Bondye a mò yo, men Bondye a vivan an, pou tout sila ki
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the Bush when he calls the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 viv de Li yo.”
Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.
39 Kèk nan skrib yo te reponn e te di: “Mèt, Ou pale byen.”
And some of the scholars having answered, they said, Teacher, thou said well.
40 Paskeyo pa t gen kouraj pou poze L kesyon sou anyen ankò.
For they no longer dared to question him anything.
41 Alò Li te di yo, “Kijan sa fèt ke yo di ke Kris la se Fis a David?
And he said to them, How do they say the Christ is David's son?
42 Paske David, li menm di nan liv Sòm Yo: ‘Senyè a te di a Senyè mwen an, chita bò dwat Mwen,
Even David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
43 Jiskaske M fè lènmi ou yo yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.”
until I will place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
44 Konsa, David rele Li Senyè, e kijan se fis Li ke li ye a?’”
David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 Pandan tout pèp la t ap koute, Li te di a disip yo:
And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,
46 “Fè atansyon de skrib yo ki renmen mache toupatou ak gwo abiman long, e ki renmen salitasyon respè nan mache yo, ak chèz pi enpòtan nan sinagòg yo, ak plas a lonè nan bankè yo;
Beware of the scholars, who desire to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at the feasts,
47 ki devore kay a vèv yo, e pou yo ka pran pòz, yo ofri gwo priyè long yo. Sila yo va resevwa pi gwo kondanasyon.”
who devour widows' houses, and in pretence make long prayers. These will receive greater damnation.
