Luke 12

Lè sa a, se pa ti kras moun ki te sanble; te sitèlman gen moun, yonn t'ap pile lòt. Jezi pran di disip li yo: Veye kò nou ak ledven farizyen yo, ak ti jan ipokrit yo a.

In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Pa gen anyen ki kache ki p'ap dekouvri yon lè, nanpwen sekrè ki p'ap devwale.

For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

Se poutèt sa, tou sa n'a di nan fènwa, y'a tande l' gwo lajounen; tout sa n'a di moun nan zòrèy anndan chanm, y'a mache di l' nan tout kalfou.

Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Nou menm ki zanmi m', m'ap di nou sa. Nou pa bezwen pè moun ki touye kò men ki pa kapab fè anyen plis pase sa.

And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

M'ap moutre nou moun pou nou pè a: Se Bondye pou nou pè. Lè Bondye fin touye, li gen pouvwa pou l' jete nan lanfè apre sa. Wi, mwen di nou se li menm pou nou pè.

But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Eske ti zwezo pa vann senk pou dis kòb? Men, Bondye pa bliye yon sèl ladan yo.

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

Menm cheve nan tèt nou, yo tout konte. Se sak fè, nou pa bezwen pè menm: nou vo pi plis pase anpil ti zwezo.

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

M'ap di nou sa: Moun ki va kanpe pou mwen devan lèzòm, mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, m'a fè menm bagay la pou li devan zanj Bondye yo.

Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

Men, moun ki va di devan lèzòm li pa konnen m', mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, m'a kanpe devan zanj Bondye yo tou m'a di mwen pa konnen l'.

But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

Tout moun ki pale mal sou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, y'a padonnen yo. Men, moun ki pale mal sou Sentespri a yo p'ap padonnen yo sa.

And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

Lè y'a mennen nou pou yo jije nou nan sinagòg, osinon devan chèf ou ankò devan lòt otorite, pa bat tèt nou pou n' chache konnen ki jan nou pral fè defans nou, ni kisa pou n' di.

And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

Paske, Sentespri a va moutre nou sa pou nou di lè sa a.

For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

Yon moun rete nan mitan foul la, li di Jezi konsa: Mèt, di frè m' lan pou l' separe eritaj papa nou an avèk mwen.

And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

Jezi reponn li: Zanmi mwen, ki moun ki mete m' pou jije afè nou osinon pou fè pataj pou nou?

And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

Apre sa, li di yo tout: Fè atansyon. Veye kò nou pou lajan pa pran tèt nou. Paske, se pa anpil byen ki garanti lavi yon nonm, li te mèt rich kont kò li.

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

Li di yo parabòl sa a tou: Vwala, se te yon nonm rich ki te gen yon tè ki te rapòte l' anpil.

And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

Li t'ap di nan kè li: Kisa pou m' fè? Mwen pa gen plas pou m' sere rekòt mwen yo.

And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

Apre sa li di: Bon. Men sa m'ap fè; m'ap kraze depo m' yo, m'ap bati lòt pi gwo pou m' mete tout rekòt mwen yo ak tout lòt byen mwen yo.

And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

Apre sa, m'a di tèt mwen: Monchè, ou gen anpil byen an depò pou plizyè lanne. Pa fatige kò ou ankò. Manje, bwè, pran plezi ou.

And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

Men, Bondye di li: Egare! Aswè a menm yo pral mande ou nanm ou. Tou sa ou te sere yo, pou ki moun y'a ye?

But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

Jezi di yo ankò: Se konsa sa ye tou pou moun k'ap ranmase byen pou tèt pa l' men ki pa rich devan Bondye.

So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Apre sa, Jezi di disip li yo: Se poutèt sa mwen di nou: Pa bat kò nou pou manje nou bezwen pou nou viv, ni pou rad nou bezwen pou mete sou nou.

And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

Lavi pi konsekan pase manje, kò pi konsekan pase rad.

The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

Gade zwezo yo rele kònèy la: yo pa plante, yo pa fè rekòt; yo pa gen ni depo ni galata. Men, Bondye ba yo manje. Nou menm nou vo pi plis pase zwezo yo, pa vre?

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

Kilès nan nou ki ka mete kek lanne an plis sou lavi l' afòs li fè tèt li travay?

And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

Si nou pa ka fè bagay ki pi piti a, poukisa pou n'ap bat tèt nou pou lòt bagay yo?

If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

Gade ki jan flè raje yo pouse: yo pa travay, yo pa fè rad. Men, m'ap di nou sa: Wa Salomon ki wa Salomon, ak tout richès li yo, li pa t' gen bèl rad tankou yonn nan flè sa yo.

Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Se konsa Bondye abiye pye zèb yo tou: jòdi a yo la, men denmen yo jete sa nan dife pou chofe fou. Se sak fè, se pa nou menm li pa ta abiye. Ala moun manke konfyans nan Bondye!

If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Pa bay kò nou traka pou n' toujou ap chache sa pou n' manje ak sa pou n' bwè.

And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

Tout bagay sa yo, se moun lòt nasyon sou latè yo k'ap chache yo tout tan san rete. Men nou menm, nou gen yon Papa ki konnen nou bezwen tout bagay sa yo.

For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

Pito nou chache bay bagay peyi kote Bondye Wa a premye plas nan lavi nou, konsa Bondye va ban nou tou sa nou bezwen.

But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Nou pa bezwen pè, nou menm ti bann mouton yo, paske se tout plezi papa nou pou l' ban nou peyi kote Bondye Wa a.

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Vann tou sa nou genyen, separe lajan an bay pòv. Chache yon bous ki p'ap chire. Sere lajan nou nan syèl kote li p'ap janm fini. Paske la, vòlò p'ap ka jwenn li, poudbwa p'ap kapab manje li.

Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

Kote richès ou ye, se la kè ou ye tou.

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Se pou nou toujou pare ak ponyèt nou tou twouse, lanp nou tou limen,

Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

tankou domestik k'ap tann mèt yo tounen sot nan nòs. Kou l' rive, li frape, yo louvri pòt pou li.

And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

L'ap bon nèt pou domestik sa yo lè mèt la p'ap jwenn yo ap dòmi! Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi. Mèt la va twouse ponyèt li, l'ap fè domestik yo chita sou tab, la vin sèvi yo.

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

Wi, l'ap bon nèt pou domestik sa yo, si l' jwenn yo p'ap dòmi, kit li tounen vè menwit osinon menm pita toujou.

And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

Se yon bagay nou tout nou dwe konnen: Si mèt kay la te konn kilè vòlò ap vini, li ta veye, li pa ta kite l' kase kay la.

And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

Nou menm tou, se pou n' toujou pare, paske Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va vini lè nou pa ta kwè!

Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Lè sa a Pyè di li: Mèt, parabòl sa a, se pou nou menm sèlman osinon pou tout moun ou di li?

Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

Jezi reponn li: Ki moun ki ka di li se yon jeran ki fè tout travay li byen, epi ki konn kenbe tèt li anplas? Se moun sa a mèt kay la va mete pou veye sou tout moun nan kay la, pou bay lòt domestik yo manje lè pou yo manje.

And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

Se va bèl bagay pou domestik sa a, si mèt la jwenn li ap fè travay li lè l' tounen lakay la.

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: mèt la va mete l' reskonsab tout byen l' yo.

Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

Men, si domestik sa a te di nan kè l': Mèt mwen ap fè reta. Li poko ap vini. Epi, li tonbe bat lòt sèvitè yo, fi kou gason, li rete ap plede manje, bwè jouk li sou;

But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

mèt domestik sa a va rive jou l' pa t'ap tann, yon lè li p'ap konnen. L'ap rachonnen l' anba kou, l'ap aji avè l' menm jan yo aji ak moun ki pa fè travay yo.

The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

Yon domestik ki konnen sa mèt li vle, men ki pa janm pare epi ki pa fè sa mèt la vle, domestik sa a anba kou.

And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

Men, yon domestik ki pa konn sa mèt li vle, lèfini k'ap fè bagay ki merite pou yo bat li, y'ap bay domestik sa a de twa kou sèlman. Moun yo bay anpil, y'ap mande l' anpil tou. Moun yo mete reskonsab anpil bagay, y'ap egzije plis ankò nan men li.

But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Mwen vini jete yon dife sou latè. Mwen ta renmen wè dife sa a limen deja!

I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

Mwen gen yon batèm pou m' resevwa. Men, mwen twouve l' pran anpil tan pou l' rive.

But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

Nou kwè mwen vin mete lapè sou latè. Mwen di nou: Non, mwen vin mete divizyon.

Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

Depi koulye a, yon fanmi ki gen senk moun va divize, twa kont de, de kont twa.

For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

Papa va leve kont pitit gason, pitit gason va leve kont papa, manman va leve kont pitit fi, pitit fi va leve kont manman, bèlmè va leve kont bèlfi, bèlfi va leve kont bèlmè.

The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Jezi t'ap di foul moun yo tou: Lè nou wè yon nwaj ap leve bò kote solèy kouche a, lamenm nou di: Li pral fe lapli. Epi se sak rive vre.

And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

Lè nou wè van an soufle soti nan sid, nou di: Li pral fè cho. E se sak rive vre.

And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

Ipokrit, nou konn ki sans pou nou bay bagay k'ap pase sou tè a ak nan syèl la, poukisa atò nou pa konn ki sans pou nou bay bagay k'ap pase koulye a nan tan sa a?

Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

Poukisa nou pa chache konprann pou tèt pa nou sa nou dwe fè ki dwat?

Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

Si yon moun pote plent lajistis pou ou, si nou tou de nou pral nan tribinal ansanm, pito n' chache antann nou pandan nou nan chemen. Si se pa sa, l'ap trennen ou devan jij la, jij la ap lage ou nan men lapolis, lapolis ap mete ou nan prizon.

When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

M'ap di ou sa: ou p'ap soti nan prizon an tout tan ou pa peye dènye lajan ou dwe a.

I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
