Lik 7
1 Lè Li te fin konplete tout diskou Li a nan tande a pèp la, Li te ale Capernaüm.
After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Epi esklav a yon sèten santenye, ke li te renmen anpil, te malad e te prèt pou mouri.
A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 Lè li te tande afè Jésus a, chèf santenye a te voye kèk nan Jwif ansyen yo pou mande Li vin sove lavi a esklav li a.
When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
4 Lè yo te rive kote Jésus, yo te sipliye L avèk tout kè yo. Yo te di: “Li merite pou Ou ta fè sa pou li.
When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5 Paske li renmen nasyon nou an. Se te li ki te bati sinagòg nou an.”
for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
6 Jésus te pran wout la avèk yo. Lè Li te vin prè kay la, santenye a te voye zanmi yo pou di L: “Senyè, pa twouble tèt Ou plis, paske mwen pa dign pou Ou ta antre menm anba twati kay mwen.
Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7 Pou rezon sa a, mwen pa t menm konsidere ke m te dign pou m te vin kote Ou. Men sèlman di yon mo e sèvitè mwen an va geri.
Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 Paske mwen tou se yon moun plase anba otorite, avèk sòlda yo anba m. Mwen di a sila a: ‘Ale’, e li ale, e a yon lòt ‘Vini’, e li vini; e a esklav mwen ‘Fè sa’, e li tou fè l.”
For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 Alò, lè Jésus te tande sa, Li te etone de li. Li te vire di foul ki t ap swiv Li a: “Mwen di nou, pa menm an Israël Mwen pa t twouve yon si gran lafwa.”
When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
10 Epi lè sila ki te voye yo te vin retounen, yo te twouve esklav la an bòn sante.
Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11 Pa anpil tan apre sa, Li te ale nan yon vil yo rele Naïn. Disip Li yo t ap ale avè l akonpanye pa yon gwo foul moun.
Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
12 Pandan Li t ap pwoche pòtay lavil la, gade, yo t ap pote yon nonm mouri. Li te sèl fis a manman l ki te yon vèv. Yon foul konsiderab te avè l.
Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
13 Lè Senyè a te wè l, li te gen konpasyon pou li. Li te di l: “Pa kriye.”
When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
14 Li te pwoche, te touche sèkèy la, e moun potè yo te kanpe san deplase. Li te di: “Jennonm, Mwen di ou leve!”
He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
15 Moun mouri an te vin chita, e te kòmanse pale. Konsa, Jésus te remèt li bay manman l.
He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
16 Lakrent te sezi yo tout, yo t ap bay glwa a Bondye, e te di: “Yon gran pwofèt gen tan leve pami nou!” E “Bondye vizite pèp Li a”!
Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
17 Rapò sila a konsènan Li te gaye toupatou nan Juda ak tout landwa nan distri yo.
This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18 Disip a Jean yo te bay li rapò konsènan tout bagay sa yo.
The disciples of John told him about all these things.
19 Konsa, li te rele de nan disip li yo, e te voye yo kote Senyè a pou mande: “Èske Ou se Sila k ap vini an, oubyen èske n ap tann yon lòt?”
John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
20 Lè mesye yo te rive a Li menm, yo te di: “Jean-Baptiste voye nou kote Ou menm pou mande ‘Èske Ou se Sila k ap vini an, oubyen èske n ap tann yon lòt?’”
When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
21 Nan menm lè sa a, Li te geri anpil moun avèk maladi, afliksyon, ak move lespri; epi Li te bay vizyon a anpil moun ki te avèg.
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
22 Li te reponn e te di yo: “Ale bay rapò a Jean sou sa nou wè ak tande. ‘Avèg yo vin wè, bwate yo vin mache, lepre yo vin pwòp, soud yo tande, mò yo leve, e malere yo gen bòn nouvèl la preche a yo menm.
Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
23 Beni se sila ki pa pran ofans akoz Mwen.’”
Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
24 Lè mesaje a Jean yo te sòti, Li te kòmanse pale a foul la sou Jean: “Kisa nou te ale nan dezè a pou wè? Yon wozo k ap souke pa van?
When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 Men kisa nou te ale pou wè? Yon nonm abiye an twal swa? Gade byen, sila ki abiye byen bèl e ki viv nan richès yo se nan palè wayal yo ye.
But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
26 Men kisa nou te ale wè? Yon pwofèt? Wi, Mwen di nou, se youn ki plis ke yon pwofèt.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
27 “Se li menm sou sila yo te ekri a: ‘Veye byen, Mwen voye, mesaje Mwen devan fas Ou, ki va prepare chemen Ou an devan Ou.’
This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
28 “Mwen di nou, pami sila ki ne de fanm yo, nanpwen youn ki pi gran ke Jean; malgre sila ki pi piti nan wayòm Bondye a, pi gran pase li.”
“For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
29 Lè tout pèp la avèk kolektè kontribisyon yo te tande sa, yo te rekonèt jistis Bondye; akoz yo te batize avèk batèm Jean an.
When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
30 Men Farizyen yo avèk avoka yo te rejte volonte a Bondye pou yo menm, akoz ke yo pa t batize avèk batèm a Jean an.
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31 “A kisa Mwen kapab konpare lèzòm nan jenerasyon sila a, e ak kisa yo sanble?
“To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
32 Yo tankou timoun ki chita nan plas mache a, e k ap rele youn lòt; epi yo di: ‘Nou te jwe flit la pou ou, e ou pa t danse; nou te chante yon antèman, e ou pa t kriye.’
They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
33 Paske Jean-Baptiste te vinisan manje pen, ni bwè diven; epi nou di ke li te gen yon dyab!
For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34 Fis a Lòm nan vini nan manje, ak bwè; epi nou di: ‘Gade, yon nonm ki manje twòp, yon moun sou, yon zanmi a kolektè kontribisyon avèk pechè yo!
The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35 Men sajès lajistifye pa tout pitit li yo.
Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36 Alò, youn nan Farizyen yo t ap mande L pou dine avèk li. Konsa, Li te antre lakay Farizyen an, e te rete sou tab la.
One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
37 E te gen yon fanm nan vil la ki te yon pechè. Lè l vin konprann ke Li te sou tab lakay Farizyen an, li te pote yon bokal blan plen avèk pafen albat.
Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
38 Li te kanpe dèyè Li, kote pye Li. Pandan l ap kriye, li te kòmanse mouye pye Li avèk dlo ki sòti nan zye li, epi siye yo avèk cheve li. Li te kontinye siye yo avèk cheve tèt li e bese nan pye Li, pou onksyone yo avèk pafen an.
Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Alò, lè Farizyen ki te envite Li a te wè sa, li te di a pwòp tèt li: “Si mesye sa a te yon pwofèt, Li t ap konnen ki kalite moun fanm sa a ye k ap touche Li a, ke li se yon pechè.”
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
40 Jésus te reponn li: “Simon, Mwen gen yon bagay pou di ou.” Li te di: “Pale, Mèt.”
Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
41 Yon sèten moun ki prete lajan te gen de zòm ki te dwe l: youn te dwe l senk-sandenye, epi lòt la, senkant.
“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 Lè yo pa t kapab repeye, avèk gras, li te padone yo toulède. Pou sa, kilès nan yo k ap renmen li plis?”
When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
43 Simon te reponn e te di: “Mwen sipoze ke se sila ke li te padone plis la.” “Li te di li: “Ou jije byen”.
Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44 Lè Li vire vè fanm nan, Li te di Simon: “Èske ou wè fanm sa a? Mwen te antre lakay ou. Ou pa t ban M dlo pou pye Mwen, men li mouye pye M avèk dlo zye li, e li te siye yo avèk cheve li.
Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
45 Ou pa t bo M; men li menm, depi lè M antre a li pa sispann bo pye Mwen.
You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Ou pa t onksyone tèt Mwen avèk lwil, men li te onksyone pye Mwen avèk pafen.
You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 “Pou rezon sa a Mwen di ou, peche li yo ki te anpil, vin padone, paske li te renmen anpil: men sila a ki padone piti, renmen piti.”
Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
48 Answit Li te di li: “Peche ou yo padone”.
He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 Sila ki te sou tab avèk Li yo te kòmanse di a yo menm: “Ki moun sa ye ki menm padone peche?”
Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Epi Li te di a fanm nan: “Lafwa ou sove ou; ale anpè.”
He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
