Luke 16

And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

Jezi di disip li yo: Vwala, se te yon nonm rich ki te gen yon jeran. Yo vin rapòte l' jan jeran an ap gaspiye tout byen l' yo.

And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

Li rele jeran an, li di li: Kisa m' tande y'ap di sou ou konsa? vin fè regleman travay ou avè m', paske mwen p'ap kite byen m' yo sou kont ou ankò.

Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

Jeran an di nan kè l': Patwon an pral kase m' nan djòb sa a; kisa m' pral fè koulye a? Mwen pa gen fòs pou m' al travay latè. Epi se va yon wont pou m' al mande charite!

I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

Bon, mwen konn sa m' pral fè pou lè m' pèdi djòb mwen m'a toujou gen moun ki pou resevwa m' lakay yo.

So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

Jeran an fè rele tout moun ki te dwe mèt la, li fè yo vini yonn apre lòt. Li di premye a: Konbe ou dwe mèt la?

And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

Li reponn: Mwen dwe l' san (100) bidon lwil. Msye di l': Men papye ou la, chita, ekri senkant. Fè vit.

Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

Apre sa, li di yon lòt; Ou menm, konbe ou dwe? Li reponn: San sak (100) mayi. Msye di l': Men papye ou la, ekri katreven.

And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

Nonm rich la fè jeran visye a konpliman dapre li te aji ak ladrès sa a. Paske moun k'ap viv dapre prensip lemonn yo regle zafè yo pi byen pase moun ki gen limyè a.

And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

Jezi di yo ankò: Nou menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Bat pou nou fè zanmi ak richès ki sou latè. Konsa, lè richès nou va fini, y'a resevwa nou nan kay Bondye ki la pou tout tan an.

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

Moun ki kenbe pawòl li nan tout ti bagay, la kenbe l' nan gwo bagay tou. Men, moun ki pa serye nan ti bagay, li p'ap serye nan gwo bagay non plis.

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

Si ou pa sèvi byen ak richès ou gen sou latè, kilès ki va fè ou konfyans pou richès tout bon yo?

And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

Si ou pa t' sèvi byen avèk sa ki te pou lòt moun, ki moun ki va ba ou sak pou ou a?

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Pesonn pa ka sèvi de mèt byen anmenmtan. Li gen pou l' rayi yonn si l' renmen lòt la. L'ap sèvi yonn byen, men l'ap meprize lòt la. Nou pa ka sèvi Bondye ak lajan anmenmtan.

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

Farizyen yo t'ap koute tout pawòl sa yo tou. Yo t'ap pase Jezi nan betiz paske yo te renmen lajan.

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Lè sa a Jezi di yo: Nou menm, n'ap chache parèt pou pi bon devan moun, men Bondye konnen sa ki nan kè nou. Bagay moun bay plis enpòtans, se yo Bondye pa vle wè.

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

Kòmandman Moyiz ak liv pwofèt yo te gen fòs lalwa jouk tan Jan Batis te rive. Men, depi lè sa a, se anonse y'ap anonse bon nouvèl peyi kote Bondye Wa a, se nan goumen pou moun antre ladan li.

And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

Men, l'ap pi fasil pou syèl la ak tè a disparèt pase pou yon sèl ti detay nan lalwa a pèdi valè li.

Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

Si yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou l' marye ak yon lòt, nonm sa a fè adiltè. Lè yon mari kite madanm li, si yon lòt nonm marye ak madanm lan, nonm sa a fè adiltè tou.

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

Vwala, se te yon nonm rich ki te konn abiye ak bèl twal wouj e blan ki te koute chè. Chak jou, se te gwo fèt banbòch lakay li.

And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

Te gen yon pòv yo rele Laza ki te kouche nan papòt nonm rich la. Laza te kouvri ak malenng.

And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

Li te byen anvi plen vant li ak bagay ki t'ap soti tonbe anba tab nonm rich la. Sa ki pi rèd, chen t'ap vin niche malenng li yo tou.

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

Pòv la vin mouri, zanj Bondye yo pote l' mete bò kot Abraram nan syèl la. Nonm rich la mouri tou, yo antere li.

And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

Pandan l' te kote tout mò yo ye a nan mitan soufrans, li voye je l' byen lwen li wè Abraram ak Laza ansanm avèk li.

And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Nonm rich la rele: Abraram papa, gen pitye pou mwen non! Voye Laza tranpe ti bout dwèt li nan yon ti tak dlò pou l' mete yon frechè sou lang mwen, paske se pa ti soufri m'ap soufri nan flanm sa a.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Abraram reponn li: Pitit mwen, chonje byen: ou te resevwa tout bon bagay pa ou yo pandan ou te sou latè. Lè sa a menm, Laza te nan tout mizè li. Koulye a, li jwenn konsolasyon bò isit la, ou menm w'ap soufri.

And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Epitou, gen yon gwo twou ki separe nou avè ou, konsa pa gen mwayen pou moun sot isit la pou y' al jwenn ou, osinon pou moun ta soti kote ou ye a pou vin jwenn nou.

Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

Nonm rich la di li: Tanpri, Abraram papa, voye Laza kay papa mwen.

For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Mwen gen senk frè. Mwen ta vle li al di yo jan bagay la ye pou yo pa vin isit nan touman sa a.

Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

Abraram reponn li: Yo gen Moyiz ak pwofèt yo pou avèti yo, se pou yo koute yo.

And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

Li di li: Non, papa Abraram, yo p'ap koute. Men, si yonn nan mò yo al jwenn yo, y'a chanje lavi yo.

And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Lè sa a, Abraram di li: Si yo pa koute Moyiz ak pwofèt yo, yo p'ap kite pesonn lòt fè yo wè verite a. Li ta mèt yon mò ki ta leve vivan ankò, yo p'ap koute li.
