Luke 20

Yon jou konsa, Jezi te nan tanp lan; li t'ap moutre pèp la anpil bagay; li t'ap anonse yo bon nouvèl la. Chèf prèt yo, dirèktè lalwa yo ak chèf fanmi yo vin rive.

And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

Yo di li: Manyè di nou ki dwa ou genyen pou w'ap fè tout bagay sa yo? Wi, kilès ki ba ou otorite pou fè yo?

And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

Jezi reponn yo: Mwen pral poze nou yon keksyon, mwen menm tou.

And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

Di mwen kilès ki te voye Jan Batis batize moun: Bondye osinon lèzòm?

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

Men, yonn t'ap di lòt: Si nou reponn se Bondye ki voye l', la mande nou poukisa nou pa t' kwè li.

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

Si nou reponn se lèzòm ki voye l', tout pèp la va touye nou ak kout wòch, paske yo tout te gen konviksyon Jan Batis te yon pwofèt.

But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

Lè sa a yo reponn li: Nou pa konn ki moun ki te voye l' batize.

And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

Jezi di yo: Enben, mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap di nou avèk ki otorite m'ap fè bagay sa yo.

And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

Apre sa, Jezi pran rakonte pèp la parabòl sa a: Vwala, se te yon nonm ki te plante yon jaden rezen. Li antann li avèk kèk moun pou okipe jaden an pou li. Apre sa, li kite peyi a, li al fè lontan deyò.

Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

Lè sezon rekòt la rive, li voye yon domestik kote moun ki t'ap pran swen jaden an pou li. Li te voye chache pòsyon pa l' nan rekòt rezen an nan men yo. Men, kiltivatè yo bat domestik la byen bat, epi yo voye l' tounen bay mèt jaden an san yo pa ba l' anyen.

And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

Mèt jaden an voye yon lòt domestik kote yo ankò. Men, yo bat li byen bat, yo joure l' byen joure, epi yo voye l' tounen san yo pa ba l' anyen.

And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

Mèt jaden an voye yon twazyèm domestik. Fwa sa a, yo blese l', yo mete l' deyò.

And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

Lè sa a, mèt jaden an di: Kisa pou m' fè? Bon, mwen pral voye pitit gason mwen renmen anpil la. Omwens y'a gen respè pou li.

Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

Men, lè kiltivatè yo wè pitit mèt jaden an, yonn di lòt: Men eritye a! Ann touye l', konsa jaden an va rete pou nou.

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

Yo jete l' deyò jaden an, yo touye li. Atò, kisa mèt jaden an pral fè yo?

So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

L'ap vini, l'ap fè touye tout kiltivatè yo, epi l'ap bay lòt moun jaden rezen an. Lè pèp la tande sa, yo di: Mande Bondye padon!

He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

Men, Jezi gade yo, li mande yo: Ki sans nou bay pawòl sa ki ekri a: Wòch moun ki t'ap bati yo te voye jete a, se li menm ki tounen wòch ki kenbe kay la.

And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

Tout moun ki bite sou wòch sa a gen pou kase ren yo. Men, si se wòch la menm ki tonbe sou yon moun, li gen pou l' kraze moun lan an miyèt moso.

Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Menm lè a, chèf prèt yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo t'ap chache mete men sou li, paske yo te byen konnen se pou yo Jezi te bay parabòl sa a. Men, yo te pè pèp la.

And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

Yo pran veye Jezi. Yo voye espyon dèyè li. Espyon yo pran pòz moun debyen yo, pou wè si yo te ka pran yon pawòl nan bouch li pou akize li. Konsa, yo ta kapab lage l' nan men gouvènè a ki te gen pouvwa ak tout otorite.

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

Espyon yo poze l' keksyon sa a: Mèt, nou konnen ou se moun serye. Tou sa ou di ak tou sa ou moutre nou se verite. Ou pa gade sou figi moun, men ou moutre chemen Bondye a jan li ye a.

And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:

Manyè di nou: Eske lalwa nou an pèmèt nou peye Seza lajan kontribisyon an, wi ou non?

Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or no?

Men, Jezi wè se nan pèlen yo te vle pran li. Li di yo:

But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

Moutre m' yon pyès lajan. Pòtre ki moun ak non ki moun ki sou pyès lajan an? Yo reponn li: Se pòtre Seza ak non Seza.

Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cæsar's.

Lè sa a li di yo: Enben, bay Seza sak pou Seza, bay Bondye sak pou Bondye.

And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

Yo pa t' kapab jwenn anyen ki mal nan sa l' t'ap di devan pèp la. Okontrè, pawòl sa a te fè yo pi sezi ankò. Yo fèmen bouch yo san di yon mo.

And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

Sadiseyen yo se yon gwoup jwif ki di moun mouri pa leve ankò. Gen kèk ladan yo ki vin bò kot Jezi ak yon keksyon. Yo di l' konsa:

Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

Mèt, Moyiz te ekri lòd sa a ban nou: Lè yon nonm marye mouri san kite pitit, si l' gen yon frè, frè a gen pou l' marye avèk madanm defen an pou l' sa fè pitit pou frè l' ki mouri a.

Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Se konsa, te gen sèt frè. Premye a marye, li mouri san l' pa kite pitit.

There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

Dezyèm lan marye ak vèv la. Apre sa, twazyèm lan marye avè l' tou.

And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

Konsa konsa, sèt frè yo marye ak fanm lan yonn apre lòt, epi yo tout yo mouri san kite pitit.

And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

Apre yo tout fin mouri, fanm lan mouri poutèt pa l' tou.

Last of all the woman died also.

Lè mò yo va gen pou yo leve, fanm sa a ki te madanm tout sèt frè yo, madanm kilès nan yo li pral ye la a menm?

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

Jezi reponn yo: Isit sou latè, fanm ak gason nan marye.

And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

Men, fanm ak gason ki merite pou yo leve soti vivan nan lanmò pou yo ka patisipe nan lavi k'ap vini an, moun sa yo pa nan marye ankò.

But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

Yo pa ka mouri ankò, se tankou zanj Bondye yo ye, yo se pitit Bondye, paske yo leve soti vivan nan lanmò.

Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Wi, moun mouri gen pou yo leve. Se Moyiz menm ki moutre nou sa, lè bò ti touf bwa a, li te rele Bondye: Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak, Bondye Jakòb.

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Bondye se Bondye moun vivan li ye, li pa Bondye moun mouri, paske pou li tout moun vivan.

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

Lè sa a, kèk dirèktè lalwa pran lapawòl, yo di: Mèt, ou byen pale.

Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

Apre sa, yo pa t' gen odas poze l' ankenn lòt keksyon.

And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

Jezi di yo: Ki jan yo fè di Kris la se pitit pitit David li ye?

And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?

Men, sa David menm te di nan liv Sòm yo: Bondye Mèt la te di Seyè mwen an: Chita la sou bò dwat mwen,

And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

jouk tan mwen fè lènmi yo tounen yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.

Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Si David rele Kris la Seyè, ki jan pou Kris la ta ka pitit pitit li?

David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

Lè sa a, tout pèp la t'ap koute Jezi. Li di disip li yo:

Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

Pran prekosyon nou avèk dirèktè lalwa yo. Yo renmen pwonmennen avèk rad long yo; yo renmen moun bese tèt yo jouk atè pou di yo bonjou sou plas piblik; lè y' al nan sinagòg, yo toujou ap chache pou yo chita kote pou tout moun ka wè yo; nan resepsyon yo chache pi bon plas la.

Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

Se piye y'ap piye pòv vèv yo, anmenmtan y'ap plede fè lapriyè byen long pou parèt pi bon. Chatiman moun sa yo pral pi rèd.

Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
