Lik 5
1 Alò, li te vin pase ke foul la t ap peze sou li pou koute pawòl Bondye a, lè L t ap kanpe akote lak ke yo rele Génésareth la.
Once, when the people were pressing around Jesus as they listened to God’s message, he happened to be standing by the shore of the Lake of Gennesaret, and saw two boats close to the shore.
2 Li te wè de kannòt ki te twouve akote lak la, men moun lapèch yo te deja desann yo, e t ap lave filè yo.
The fishermen had gone away from them and were washing the nets.
3 Li te antre nan youn nan kannòt yo ki te pou Simon, e Li te mande li pou mete yo a yon ti distans de tè a. Li te chita, e te kòmanse enstwi foul la depi nan kannòt la.
So, getting into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, Jesus asked him to push off a little way from the shore, and then sat down and taught the people from the boat.
4 Lè Li te fin pale, Li te di Simon: “Mete nou deyò nan dlo fon elage filè yo pou kenbe pwason.”
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Push off into deep water, and throw out your nets for a haul.”
5 Simon te reponn pou di L: “Mèt, nou travay di tout nwit lan, e nou pa t kenbe anyen; men selon sa Ou mande a, m ap lage filè yo.”
“We have been hard at work all night, Sir,” answered Simon, “and have not caught anything, but, at your bidding, I will throw out the nets.”
6 Lè yo te fin fè sa, yo te pran yon gwo kantite pwason. Filè yo te tanmen chire.
They did so, and enclosed such a great shoal of fish that their nets began to break.
7 Konsa, yo te fè sign pou moun parèy yo nan lòt kannòt yo vin ede yo. Yo te vini, e te plen tou de kannòt yo jiskaske yo te kòmanse plonje.
So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; and they came and filled both the boats so full of fish that they were almost sinking.
8 Men lè Simon Pierre te wè sa, li te tonbe nan pye Jésus. Li te di L: “Ale lwen mwen, paske se yon pechè mwen ye, O Senyè!”
When Simon Peter saw this, he threw himself down at Jesus’ knees, exclaiming, “Master, leave me, for I am a sinful man!”
9 Paske sezisman te pran l avèk tout zanmi li yo akoz kantite pwason yo te kenbe.
For he and all who were with him were lost in amazement at the haul of fish which they had made;
10 Anplis, Jacques avèk Jean, fis Zébédée yo ki te asosye yo avèk Simon te sezi tou. Jésus te reponn Simon: “Pa pè, depi koulye a, se moun n ap kenbe.”
and so, too, were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon, “from today you will catch people.”
11 Lè yo te fin fè kannòt yo rive atè, yo te kite tout bagay pou yo te swiv Li.
And, when they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything, and followed him.
12 Pandan Li te nan youn nan vil yo, gade byen, te gen yon nonm ki te kouvri avèk lalèp. Lè l te wè Jésus, li te tonbe sou figi li, e li te enplore Li: “Senyè, si Ou vle, Ou kapab fè m pwòp.”
On one occasion Jesus was staying in a town, when he saw a man who was covered with leprosy. When the leper saw Jesus, he threw himself on his face and implored his help, “Master, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean.”
13 Li te lonje men L, e te touche li. Li te di: “Mwen vle. Vin pwòp.” Imedyatman, lalèp la te kite li.
Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying as he did so, “I am willing; become clean.” Instantly the leprosy left the man;
14 Li te kòmande li pou pa di pèsòn sa: “Men alemontre ou menm a prèt yo, e fè yon ofrann pou netwayaj ou, jan Moïse te kòmande a, kon yon temwayaj a yo menm.”
and then Jesus impressed on him that he was not to say a word to anyone, “but,” he added, “set out and show yourself to the priest, and make the offerings for your cleansing, in the manner directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.”
15 Men nouvèl sou Li t ap gaye menm pi lwen. Gwo foul moun t ap rasanble pou tande Li, e pou geri de maladi yo.
However, the story about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came together to listen to him, and to be cured of their illnesses;
16 Men Jésus Li menm, te konn souvan chape ale nan dezè a poupriye.
but Jesus used to withdraw to lonely places and pray.
17 Li te rive yon jou pandan Li t ap enstwi, ke kèk Farizyen avèk mèt Lalwa te chita la. Yo te sòti nan chak vilaj Galilée, Juda ak Jérusalem. Konsa, pwisans a Senyè a te prezan pou l te geri moun.
On one of those days, when Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and Doctors of the Law were sitting near by. (They had come from all the villages in Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was on Jesus, so that he could work cures.)
18 Kèk moun t ap pote sou yon kabann, yon nonm ki te paralize. Konsa, yo t ap eseye fè l antre pou mete l devan L.
And there some men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed. They tried to get him in and lay him before Jesus;
19 Men san twouve mwayen pou fè l antre akoz foul la, yo te monte sou tèt kay la, e te fè l desann nan yon twou nan kouvèti mitan foul la, devan Jésus.
but, finding no way of getting him in owing to the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him through the tiles, with his pallet, into the middle of the people and in front of Jesus.
20 Lè L te wè lafwa yo, Li te di: “Mesye, peche ou yo padone”.
When he saw their faith, Jesus said, “Friend, your sins have been forgiven you.”
21 Skrib yo avèk Farizyen yo te kòmanse rezone. Yo t ap di: “Ki moun sa k ap blasfeme konsa? Kilès ki kapab padone peche sof ke Bondye sèl?”
The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began debating about this. “Who is this man who speaks so blasphemously?” they asked. “Who can forgive sins except God?”
22 Men Jésus, ki te okouran de jan yo t ap reflechi a, te reponn e te di yo: “Poukisa nou ap reflechi nan kè nou konsa?
When Jesus became aware of the way in which they were debating, he turned to them and exclaimed, “What are you debating with yourselves?
23 Kisa ki pi fasil pou di: ‘Peche ou yo padone’, oubyen pou di: ‘Leve mache’?
Which is the easier? – to say ‘Your sins have been forgiven you’? Or to say ‘Get up, and walk’?
24 Men pou nou kab konnen ke Fis a Lòm nan gen otorite sou latè pou padone peche yo,” li te di a paralitik la: “Mwen di ou leve, pran kabann ou e ale lakay ou.”
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” – he spoke to the paralyzed man – “To you I say, Get up, and take up your pallet, and go to your home.”
25 Lapoula nonm nan te leve devan yo, ranmase nat li, e li te ale lakay li ranpli avèk lwanj Bondye.
Instantly the man stood up before their eyes, took up what he had been lying on, and went to his home, praising God.
26 Yo tout te sezi, etone menm, e t ap bay Bondye glwa. Yo te ranpli avèk lakrent, e t ap di: “Nou wè bagay ki tèlman remakab jodi a”.
The people, one and all, were lost in amazement, and praised God; and in great awe they said, “We have seen marvelous things today!”
27 Apre sa, Li te sòti deyò e li te wè yon ajan kontribisyon ki te rele Levi ki te chita nan biwo kontribisyon an. Li te di li: “Swiv Mwen”.
After this, Jesus went out; and he noticed a tax-gatherer, named Levi, sitting in the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me.”
28 Konsa, li te kite tout bagay dèyè, e te leve swiv Li.
Levi left everything and got up and followed him.
29 Lévi te fè yon resepsyon pou Li lakay li. Yo te gen yon gwo foul kolektè kontribisyon avèk lòt moun ki t ap manje sou tab la avèk yo.
And Levi gave a great banquet at his house, in honor of Jesus; and a large number of tax collectors and others were having dinner with them.
30 Farizyen yo avèk Skrib yo te kòmanse plenyen bay disip Li yo. Yo t ap di: “Poukisa nou manje e bwè avèk kolektè kontribisyon ak pechè yo?”
The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law belonging to their party complained of this to the disciples of Jesus.
31 Jésus te reponn e te di yo: “Se pa sila ki ansante yo ki bezwen yon doktè, men sila ki malad yo.”
In answer Jesus said, “It is not those who are well who need a doctor, but those who are ill.
32 Mwen pa t vini pou rele jis yo, men pechè yo a larepantans.
I have not come to call the religious, but the outcast, to repent.”
33 Yo te di Li: “Disip a Jean yo souvan fè jèn e fè lapriyè; disip a Farizyen yo fè menm jan an. Men pa Ou yo, manje e bwè.”
“John’s disciples,” they said to Jesus, “Often fast and say prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, while yours are eating and drinking!”
34 Jésus te di yo: “Nou pa kapab fè zanmi fèt maryaj yo fè jèn pandan jennonm maryaj la toujou avèk yo. Èske se pa vrè?
But Jesus answered them, “Can you make the groom’s friends fast while the groom is with them?
35 Men jou yo ap vini lè jennonm nan ap kite yo. Alò, yo va fè jèn nan jou sa yo.”
But the days will come – a time when the groom will be taken away from them; and they will fast then, when those days come.”
36 Li t ap di yo yon parabòl: “Pèsonn pa chire yon mòso twal, fè l sòti nan yon vètman nèf, pou mete l sou yon vètman ki vye. Otreman l ap non sèlman fin chire nèf la, men nèf la p ap parèt menm jan ak vye a.
Then, as an illustration, Jesus said to them, “No one ever tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old one; for, if they do, they will not only tear the new garment, but the piece from the new one will not match the old.
37 Epi pèsonn pa mete diven nèf nan veso vye kwi, otreman diven nèf la va pete kwi a, gaye tonbe, e vye kwi yo va vin gate.
And no one puts new wine into old wine-skins; for, if they do, the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine itself will run out, and the skins be lost.
38 Men diven nèf la oblije vide nan po fèt avèk kwi nèf.
But new wine must be put into fresh skins.
39 Epi pèsonn, lè l fin bwè sa ki ansyen, pa janm vle nèf la, paske li di: ‘Vye a pi bon’”.
No one after drinking old wine wishes for new. ‘No,’ they say, ‘the old is excellent.’”
