Lik 3
1 Alò nan kenzyèm ane pouvwa a Tibère César a, pandan Ponce Pilate te Gouvènè Juda, Hérode te tetrak (wa a zòn sila a), frè l Philippe te tetrak pou Liturée avèk Trachonite, e Lysanias te tetrark nan Abilène,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip being tetrarch of the region belonging to Ituraea, and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias being tetrarch of Abilene,
2 nan tan a Anne ak Caïphe kon wo prèt, pawòl Bondye a te vini a Jean, fis Zacharie a, pandan l te nan dezè a.
in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to be in John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Konsa, li te vini nan tout distri ki te antoure Jourdain yo, e li t ap preche yon batèm repantans pou padon peche yo.
And he came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching an immersion of repentance for remission of sins,
4 Jan sa ekri nan liv pawòl a Ésaïe yo, pwofèt la: “Lavwa a yon moun k ap kriye nan dezè a, ‘Prepare chemen SENYÈ a, Fè wout Li yo dwat,
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, which says, The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
5 Chak vale va ranpli, E tout gwo mòn ak ti kolin va vin bese. Kwochi yo a va vin drese, E move wout yo va vin swa.
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. And the crooked things will be into straight and the rough into smooth ways.
6 Tout chè va wè delivrans Bondye a.’”
And all flesh will see the salvation of God.
7 Konsa, li te kòmanse pale avèk foul la ki te sòti avè l pou batèm nan: “Nou menm, nich vipè! Kilès ki te avèti nou sove kite kòlè k ap vini an?
He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be immersed by him, Ye offspring of vipers, who showed you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Pou sa, pote fwi ki an akò avèk repantans yo, e pa kòmanse di a nou menm: ‘Nou gen Abraham pou papa nou’, paske mwen di nou ke menm nan wòch sa yo, Bondye kapab fè leve pitit a Abraham yo.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father, Abraham. For I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Anverite, rach la deja poze sou rasin a bwa yo. Konsa, chak bwa ki pa donnen bon fwi va koupe e jete nan dife.”
And even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore not making good fruit is cut down, and cast into fire.
10 Foul la ki t ap kesyone li, t ap di: “Alò, kisa pou nou ta fè?”
And the crowds questioned him, saying, What then shall we do?
11 Li te reponn yo, e te di: “Ke moun ki gen de tinik lan pataje avèk sila ki pa genyen an, e ke sila ki gen manje a fè menm jan an.”
And having answered, he says to them, He who has two coats, let him share with him not having, and he who has food, let him do likewise.
12 Anplis, ajan kolektè kontribisyon yo te vini pou batize. Yo t ap mande l: “Mèt, kisa nou dwe fè?”
And tax collectors also came to be immersed, and they said to him, Teacher, what should we do?
13 Li te di yo: “Pa kolekte plis ke yo mande nou pran.”
And he said to them, Collect not one thing more than from what has been appointed for you.
14 Konsa, kèk sòlda t ap mande li: “Epi kisa pou nou menm fè”? Li te di yo: “Pa pran lajan sou okenn moun pa lafòs, ni fè fo akizasyon kont pèsòn. Rete satisfè avèk salè nou.”
And men who were soldiers also questioned him, saying, And we, what should we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.
15 Alò, pandan pèp la t ap antisipe, e t ap reflechi nan kè yo sou Jean, pou konprann si se Kris la ke li te ye,
And as the people were expectant, and all pondering in their hearts about John, if perhaps he was the Christ,
16 Jean te reponn. Li te di yo tout: “Kanta mwen menm, mwen ap batize nou avèk dlo. Men gen Youn k ap vini ki pi pwisan pase m; menm lasèt sandal Li, mwen pa dign pou demare. Li va batize nou avèk Lespri Sen an, e avèk dife.
John responded, saying to them all, I indeed immerse you in water, but a man mightier than I comes, of whom I am not worthy to unloose the strap of his shoes. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire,
17 Laye vannen an deja nan men L, pou netwaye glasi a nèt, e ranmase tout ble antre nan depo Li; men l ap brile pay yo avèk dife ki pa kapab etenn.”
whose winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
18 Konsa, avèk anpil lòt egzòtasyon tou, Li te preche bòn nouvèl la bay pèp la.
Indeed therefore, also exhorting the people with many other things, he preached the good news.
19 Men lè l te bay Hérode, tetrak la tò akoz Hérodias, madanm a frè l la, e akoz tout mechanste ke Hérode te fè yo,
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him about Herodias his brother's wife, and about all of which evil things Herod had done,
20 Hérode te ogmante peche l sou sa yo. Li te vin mete Jean nan prizon.
also added this to them all, he even locked up John in prison.
21 Konsa, li te vin rive ke lè tout pèp la t ap batize, Jésus te batize tou. Epi pandan Li t ap priye, syèl la te vin ouvri,
Now it came to pass, during the immersion of all the people, Jesus also having been immersed and praying, for the heaven to be opened,
22 e Lespri Sen an te desann sou Li nan fòm tankou yon toutrèl. E yon vwa te sòti nan syèl la: “Ou menm se Fis byeneme Mwen an; nan Ou menm, Mwen byen kontan.”
and the Holy Spirit to descend in a bodily form as a dove upon him, and a voice to occur out of heaven, saying, Thou are my beloved Son. In thee I am well pleased.
