Luke 19

And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

Jezi antre Jeriko, li t'ap travèse lavil la.

And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

Te gen yon nonm nan lavil la yo rele Zache. Li te chèf pèseptè kontribisyon yo, se te yon nonm rich.

And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

Li t'ap chache wè ki moun Jezi ye. Men, li te yon nonm ti tay. Akòz foul moun yo, li pa t' kapab rive wè li.

And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

Li pran kouri devan; li moute sou yon pye sikomò pou l' wè Jezi ki te gen pou l' te pase bò la.

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

Lè Jezi rive la, li leve je l' anlè, li di l': Zache, fè vit desann. Fòk mwen fè ladesant lakay ou jòdi a.

And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

Zache prese desann, li resevwa Jezi ak kè kontan.

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

Lè yo wè sa, tout moun pran babye, yo t'ap di: Men nonm lan fè ladesant kay yon nonm ki plen peche.

And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

Zache leve kanpe, li di Jezi konsa: Koute, Mèt. Mwen pral bay pòv mwatye tout byen mwen genyen. Si mwen te twonpe yon moun pou m' pran lajan l', mwen pral rann li kat fwa lavalè.

And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

Jezi di li: Jòdi a, kay sa a delivre paske nonm sa a se yon pitit Abraram li ye tou.

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a vin chache sa ki te pèdi pou l' delivre yo.

And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

Apre sa, Jezi rakonte yon parabòl pou moun ki te fèk tande pawòl sa yo. Paske li te toupre lavil Jerizalèm lan, yo te kwè gouvènman Bondye ki Wa a tapral parèt touswit.

He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

Men sa l' di yo: Vwala, se te yon nonm gran fanmi ki te al nan yon peyi byen lwen. Li te al fè yo ba l' otorite pou l' wa, apre sa pou l' te tounen lakay li ankò.

And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

Anvan li ale, li rele dis nan domestik li yo, li ba yo chak yon pyès lò, li di yo: Fè lajan an travay jouk mwen tounen.

But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

Men, pwòp moun peyi l' yo te rayi li. Yo voye kèk mesaje dèyè l' pou di: Nou pa vle nonm sa a pou wa nou.

And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

Malgre sa, yo bay nonm lan otorite pou l' wa, epi l' tounen nan peyi li. Lè sa a, li fè rele domestik li te bay lajan yo pou yo vin kote l': li te bezwen konnen ki benefis yo chak te fè.

Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

Premye a vini, li di: Monwa, pyès lò ou te ban mwen an rapòte dis pyès ankò.

And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

Wa a di l': Sa se bèl bagay. Ou se yon bon domestik. M'ap mete ou gouvènen dis vil, paske ou te fè ti travay sa a byen.

And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

Dezyèm lan vini, li di: Monwa, pyès lò ou te ban mwen an rapòte senk lòt pyès.

And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

Wa a di l': Ou menm, m'ap mete ou gouvènen senk vil.

And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

Yon lòt vini, li di: Monwa, men pyès lò ou la. Mwen te sere l' nan yon mouchwa.

For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

Mwen te pè ou, paske ou se yon nonm ki di: ou pran sa ki pa pou ou, ou rekòlte sa ou pa simen.

And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

Wa a reponn: Gade jan ou se yon move domestik! M'ap jije ou ak pawòl ki sot nan bouch ou. Ou te konnen m' se yon nonm ki di, mwen pran sa ki pa pou mwen, mwen rekòlte sa m' pa simen,

Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

poukisa ou pa t' mete lajan m' labank; lè m' ta tounen, mwen ta wete l' ak yon enterè.

And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

Li di moun ki te la yo: Wete lajan an nan men li. Bay nonm ki gen dis pyès yo li.

(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

Yo di l': Men, monwa, li gen dis pyès deja.

For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

Mwen di nou: Moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò; men moun ki pa gen anyen menm lan, y'a wete nan men l' menm ti sa l' te genyen an.

But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

Kanta lènmi m' yo ki pa t' vle mwen pou wa yo, mennen yo isit, touye yo la devan je mwen.

And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

Apre Jezi fin pale konsa, li pran mache devan yo pou li al Jerizalèm.

And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

Lè Jezi rive toupre Betfaje ak Betani, bò ti mòn Oliv la, li pran de nan disip li yo, li voye yo devan,

Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

li di yo konsa: Ale nan bouk ki devan nou an. Lè n'a rive, n'a jwenn yon jenn ti bourik mare; pesonn pa kò janm moute sou li. Lage l', mennen l' ban mwen.

And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

Nenpòt moun ki mande nou: Poukisa n'ap lage l'? N'a reponn: Se Mèt la ki bezwen li.

And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

De disip yo ale; yo jwenn tout bagay jan Jezi te di yo a.

And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

Pandan y'ap lage ti bourik la, mèt li di yo: Poukisa n'ap lage ti bourik la?

And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

Yo reponn: Se Mèt la ki bezwen li.

And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

Apre sa, yo mennen ti bourik la bay Jezi. Yo mete rad yo sou do ti bourik la, yo fè Jezi moute sou li.

And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

Pandan Jezi t'ap vanse sou bourik la, moun yo tann rad yo atè sou tout chemen an.

And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

Lè l' rive toupre Jerizalèm, nan ladesant mòn Oliv la, yon sèl kontantman pran tout foul moun ki t'ap swiv li yo; yo pran fè lwanj Bondye byen fò pou tout mirak yo te wè.

Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

Yo t'ap di: benediksyon pou Wa ki vini nan non Mèt la! Kè poze pou tout moun nan syèl la! Lwanj pou Bondye!

And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

Te gen kèk farizyen nan mitan foul la. Yo di Jezi konsa: Mèt, manyè fè disip ou yo pe bouch yo non.

And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

Jezi reponn: M'ap di nou sa: si yo pe bouch yo, wòch yo va pran rele.

And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

Lè Jezi rive toupre lavil la, li wè l', li pran kriye sou li,

Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

li di: Si sèlman, jòdi a ou te kapab konprann, ou menm tou, bagay ki pou fè kè ou poze? Men, koulye a, yo kache; ou pa kapab wè yo!

For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

Gen yon tan k'ap vin sou ou: lè sa a, lènmi ou yo va sènen ou toupatou, y'a fèmen ou nèt, y'a kwense ou sou tout bò.

And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

Y'a detwi ou nèt ansanm ak tout moun ki nan mitan ou yo. Yo p'ap kite yon wòch kanpe sou yon lòt, paske ou pa t' rekonèt jou Bondye te vin pote ou sekou a.

And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

Jezi antre nan tanp lan, li pran chase tout moun ki t'ap vann yo.

Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Li di yo: Men sa ki ekri: Se pou kay mwen an yon kay kote moun vin lapriyè nan pye m'; men, nou menm, nou fè l' tounen kachèt vòlè.

And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

Chak jou, Jezi te nan tanp lan, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Chèf prèt yo, dirèktè lalwa yo ak chèf pèp la t'ap chache ki jan pou yo touye li.

And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

Men, yo pa t' kapab jwenn yon jan pou yo te fè sa, paske tout pèp la t'ap koute sa l' t'ap di san yo pa pèdi yon mo.
