Luke 18

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Jezi rakonte yo parabòl sa a pou l' te moutre yo nesesite pou yo toujou lapriyè san yo pa janm dekouraje:

Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

Vwala, se te yon jij ki te rete nan yon lavil; li pa t' pè Bondye ni li pa t' respekte pesonn.

And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

Nan menm lavil sa a, te gen yon vèv ki te konn vin bò kot jij la. Vèv la te toujou ap di li: Rann mwen jistis kont moun ki nan kont avè m' lan non.

And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

Pandan lontan jij la te refize fè sa pou li. Men, yon lè li di nan kè l': Se vre, mwen pa pè Bondye, ni mwen pa rete ak moun.

Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

Men, fanm sa a ap plede nwi mwen. M'ap rann li jistis, konsa la sispann anbete mwen.

And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

Jezi di: Nou tande sa move jij la di!

And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

Bon! Eske Bondye pa ta regle zafè pitit li yo, moun li menm li chwazi yo, lè y'ap rele nan pye l' lajounen kou lannwit? Eske l'ap pran anpil tan pou l' ede yo?

I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

M'ap di nou sa: L'ap regle zafè yo vit vit. Men, lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va vini, èske la jwenn moun ki gen konfyans nan Bondye ankò sou latè?

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

Jezi di parabòl sa a pou moun ki te kwè yo bon devan Bondye epi ki t'ap meprize lòt moun:

Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

Dezòm moute nan tanp lan al lapriyè. Yonn te yon farizyen, lòt la yon pèseptè kontribisyon.

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

Farizyen an te kanpe apa, li t'ap lapriyè konsa: Bondye, m'ap di ou mèsi dapre mwen pa vòlò, ni visye, ni adiltè tankou lòt yo; mèsi dapre mwen pa tankou pèseptè kontribisyon sa a.

I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

Chak senmenn mwen pase de jou ap fè jèn, mwen bay ladim nan tou sa mwen genyen.

And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

Pèseptè kontribisyon an menm te rete dèyè, li pa t' menm gen kouraj leve je l' nan syèl; li t'ap bat lestonmak li, li t'ap di: Bondye, gen pitye pou mwen ki fè anpil peche.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Lè sa a, Jezi di yo: M'ap di nou sa, se pa farizyen an non, men se pèseptè kontribisyon an ki tounen lakay li ak padon Bondye. Paske, yon moun ki vle leve tèt li, y'a desann li, yon moun ki desann tèt li, y'a leve li.

And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

Yo te mennen ata tibebe bay Jezi pou l' te mete men sou tèt yo. Lè disip yo wè sa, yo t'ap di moun yo pa fè sa.

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Men, Jezi rele timoun yo vin jwenn li, li di: Kite timoun yo vin jwenn mwen. Pa anpeche yo vini, paske peyi kote Bondye Wa a, se pou tout moun ki tankou timoun sa yo li ye.

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: si yon moun pa asepte otorite Bondye a tankou yon timoun, li p'ap janm mete pye l' nan peyi kote Bondye Wa a.

And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

Yonn nan chèf jwif yo mande Jezi: Bon Mèt, kisa pou m' fè pou m' resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an?

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

Jezi di li: Poukisa ou rele m' bon? Se yon sèl bon ki genyen, se Bondye.

Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

Ou konn kòmandman yo: Piga ou fè adiltè, piga ou touye moun, piga ou vòlò, piga ou fè manti sou moun, respekte papa ou ak manman ou.

And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

Nonm lan reponn: Mwen swiv tout bagay sa yo depi m' te tikatkat.

Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

Lè Jezi tande sa, li di l': Ou manke yon bagay toujou: vann tou sa ou genyen, separe lajan an bay pòv. Apre sa, wa gen yon richès nan syèl la. Epi vin swiv mwen.

And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

Men, pawòl sa a te fè nonm lan lapenn anpil paske li te gen anpil byen.

And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

Jezi wè jan sa te fè nonm lan lapenn, li di konsa: Sa ap difisil nèt pou moun rich antre nan peyi kote Bondye Wa a.

For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

L'ap pi fasil pou gwo bèt yo rele chamo a pase nan je yon zegwi pase pou yon rich antre nan peyi kote Bondye Wa a.

And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

Moun ki t'ap koute l' yo di l': Nan kondisyon sa a, ki moun ki ka sove?

And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

Jezi reponn yo: Sa lèzòm pa ka fè, Bondye ka fè li.

Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

Lè sa a, Pyè di l': Tande, men nou kite tou sa nou te genyen pou nou swiv ou.

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

Jezi di yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Nenpòt moun ki kite kay li, osinon madanm li, osinon frè l', osinon papa l' ak manman l', osinon pitit li poutèt peyi kote Bondye Wa a,

Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

moun sa a gen pou l' resevwa plis pase sa depi nan tan sa a, epi nan tan k'ap vini apre sa a li gen pou l' resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

Jezi pran douz disip yo apa, li di yo: Tande, men n'ap moute Jerizalèm kote tou sa pwofèt yo te ekri sou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a pral rive.

For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

Yo pral lage l' nan men moun lòt nasyon yo, y'a pase l' nan rizib, y'a joure l', y'a krache sou li.

And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

Apre sa, y'a bat li byen bat, y'a touye l'; men sou twa jou la leve soti vivan nan lanmò.

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

Men, disip yo pa t' konprann anyen nan sa; sans pawòl la te kache pou yo, yo pa t' kapab konnen sa Jezi t'ap di yo konsa.

And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

Lè sa a, Jezi te prèt pou antre Jeriko; te gen yon nonm avèg chita bò chemen an ki t'ap mande charite.

And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

Lè l' tande foul moun yo ap pase, li mande sak genyen.

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

Yo di li: Se Jezi, moun Nazarèt la, k'ap pase.

And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

Li pran rele: Jezi, pitit David la, pitye pou mwen.

And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

Moun ki t'ap mache devan yo t'ap kouri dèyè l' pou te fè l' pe bouch li. Men, li t'ap rele pi rèd: Pitit David la, pitye pou mwen.

And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

Jezi rete, li bay lòd pou yo mennen l' ba li. Lè avèg la pwoche, Jezi mande li:

Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

Kisa ou vle m' fè pou ou? Li reponn: Mèt, fè m' wè ankò.

And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

Epi Jezi di li: Wè non. Se konfyans ou nan Bondye ki geri ou.

And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Menm lè a, avèg la wè. Apre sa, li t'ap swiv Jezi. Li t'ap fè lwanj Bondye. Lè pèp la wè sa, yo tout pran fè lwanj Bondye tou.
