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 Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias 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 unto 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 round about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto 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, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready 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 shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;
6 Tout chè va wè delivrans Bondye a.’”
And all flesh shall 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 that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
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 begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto 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 is the axe also laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Foul la ki t ap kesyone li, t ap di: “Alò, kisa pou nou ta fè?”
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must 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 he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath 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 there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Master, what must we do?
13 Li te di yo: “Pa kolekte plis ke yo mande nou pran.”
And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed 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 soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither exact [anything] wrongfully; 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 in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were 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 answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and [with] 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 fan is in his hand, throughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
18 Konsa, avèk anpil lòt egzòtasyon tou, Li te preche bòn nouvèl la bay pèp la.
With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
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 for Herodias his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 Hérode te ogmante peche l sou sa yo. Li te vin mete Jean nan prizon.
added yet this above all, that he shut 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, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was 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 Ghost descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
