Luke 11 (HAT) · Opened

1Yon lè, Jezi t'ap lapriyè yon kote. Lè l' fin lapriyè, yonn nan disip li yo di li: Mèt, moutre nou lapriyè tankou Jan te moutre patizan li yo.One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

2Jezi di yo: Lè n'ap lapriyè, men sa pou n' di: Papa, nou mande pou non ou toujou respekte. vin tabli gouvènman ou lan.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Chak jou, ban nou manje nou bezwen pou jounen an.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Padonnen peche nou yo, paske nou menm tou nou padonnen tout moun ki fè nou mal. Pa kite nou nan pozisyon pou n' tonbe nan tantasyon.And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Jezi di yo ankò: Sipoze yonn nan nou ta gen yon zanmi, li al jwenn zanmi an nan mitan lannwit pou l' di li: Zanmi, prete m' twa biswit.Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6Mwen gen yon zanmi ki sot nan vwayaj ki fèk rive lakay mwen. Mwen pa gen anyen pou m' ba li.because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Sipoze nonm lan rete anndan lakay li, li reponn li: Kite m' an repo! Pòt la gen tan fèmen akle, ni mwen ni timoun yo, nou tout kouche deja. Mwen pa kapab leve pou m' ba ou biswit yo.And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’

8M'ap di nou sa: Menm si li pa ta leve pou l' ba li biswit yo paske li se zanmi l', li gen pou l' leve pou l' ba li tou sa li bezwen, si zanmi an pa wont kontinye mande li.I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9Mwen menm mwen di nou: Mande, y'a ban nou, chache n'a jwenn, frape y'a louvri pou nou.So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

10Paske, nenpòt moun ki mande, la resevwa; moun ki chache, la jwenn; y'a louvri pou moun k'ap frape.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Eske yonn nan nou ki papa pitit ta bay pitit li yon koulèv si pitit la mande l' yon pwason?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Osinon, èske la ba li yon èskòpyon si li mande l' yon ze?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Si nou menm ki mechan jan nou mechan an, nou konn bay pitit nou bon bagay, se pa Papa nou ki nan syèl la ki pou ta refize ban nou Sentespri l', lè nou mande l' li.So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

14Jezi t'ap chase yon move lespri ki te rann yon nonm bèbè. Lè move lespri a soti, bèbè a pale. Foul moun yo menm te rete men nan bouch.One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

15Men, gen kèk moun ki t'ap di: Se Bèlzeboul, chèf move lespri yo, ki ba l' pouvwa chase move lespri yo.but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Gen lòt ki te vle pran l' nan pèlen: yo mande l' pou l' fè yon mirak ki pou moutre se Bondye ki ba l' pouvwa sa a.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Jezi menm te konnen sak te nan lide yo. Li di yo konsa: Yon peyi ki gen divizyon ladan l', kote moun ap goumen yonn ak lòt, peyi sa a la pou disparèt; menm kay yo gen pou tonbe yonn sou lòt.Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

18Konsa tou, si Satan ap konbat pwòp tèt li, pouvwa Satan an pa la pou lontan. Nou di se Bèlzeboul ki ban m' pouvwa chase move lespri yo.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Si mwen menm mwen chase move lespri ak pouvwa Bèlzeboul, patizan nou yo, ak ki pouvwa yo chase move lespri yo? Se poutèt sa se yo menm k'ap ban nou tò.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Non. Se avèk pouvwa Bondye mwen chase move lespri yo; sa vle di: Pouvwa gouvènman Bondye ki Wa a gen tan rive sou nou.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Lè yon nonm vanyan ap veye kay li, zam li nan men l', tout byen l' yo byen pwoteje.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Men, si yon pi vanyan pase l' vin rive, l'ap bat li, l'ap wete zam ki te ba l' fòs yo nan men l', l'ap piye tou sa l' te genyen an l'ap separe ak lòt.But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.

23Moun ki pa avèk mwen, se kont mwen yo ye; moun ki p'ap ede m' ranmase, se gaye y'ap gaye.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24Lè yon move lespri soti nan yon nonm, li al pwonmennen toupatou nan dezè, l'ap chache yon kote pou l' pran repo. Si l' pa jwenn, l'ap di nan kè li: m'ap tounen lakay mwen kote m' soti a.When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’

25Lè l' rive, li jwenn nonm lan tankou yon kay byen bale, byen ranje.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Lè sa a, li al chache sèt lòt lespri ki pi move pase li; yo antre nan kay la, yo enstale yo. Konsa, kondisyon nonm lan vin pi mal pase jan l' te ye anvan an.Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”

27Pandan Jezi t'ap pale konsa, yon fanm pran pale byen fò nan mitan foul la, epi l' di: Fanm ki te pote ou nan vant li epi ki te ba ou tete a, se yon fanm Bondye beni!As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

28Jezi reponn li: Moun ki koute pawòl Bondye epi ki mete l' an pratik, se yo menm Bondye beni.But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Anpil moun t'ap vin an kantite bò kot Jezi. Li pran di yo: Ala move moun se moun alèkile yo! Y'ap mande yon mirak ki pou fè yo wè Bondye dakò ak sa k'ap fèt la. Men, yo p'ap jwenn lòt mirak pase mirak Jonas la.As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

30Menm jan Jonas te yon avètisman pou moun lavil Niniv yo, se konsa tou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va yon avètisman pou moun alèkile yo.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Jou jijman an, larenn peyi ki nan sid la va leve kanpe, la fè yo kondannen moun alèkile yo. Paske, li te soti byen lwen, jouk nan dènye bout latè, pou l' te vin tande pawòl bon konprann wa Salomon yo. Men isit la, gen bagay ki pi konsekan pase wa Salomon.The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

32Jou jijman an tou, moun lavil Niniv va leve kanpe y'a fè yo kondannen moun alèkile yo. Paske yo menm, yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye, lè Jonas te fè yo konnen mesaj la. Men isit la, gen bagay ki pi konsekan pase Jonas.The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

33Pa gen moun ki pou kache yon lanp nan yon kwen osinon ki pou mete l' anba yon mamit lè l' fin limen li. Okontrè, l'ap mete l' sou yon etajè pou tout moun k'ap antre ka wè limyè a.No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

34Je ou se tankou yon lanp yo ye pou kò ou. Si je ou an bon eta, tout kò ou nan limyè. Men, si je ou an move eta, tout kò ou nan fènwa.Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.

35Fè sèten pou limyè ki anndan ou lan pa fènwa.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Paske si tout kò ou nan limyè san yon sèl pati ladan l' pa nan fènwa, la klere nèt tankou lè yon lanp klere ou ak bèl limyè li.So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

37Lè Jezi fin pale, yon farizyen envite l' vin manje lakay li. Jezi antre, li al chita bò tab la.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Farizyen an te sezi lè l' wè Jezi pa t' lave men l' anvan l' manje.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Men, Jezi di li: Nou menm farizyen, se konsa nou ye. Nou netwaye tout deyò gode a ak deyò plat la, men anndan kè nou se lide vòlò ak mechanste ase ki genyen.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Bann egare! Bondye ki fè deyò a, se li menm ki fè anndan an tou.You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Pito nou bay pòv tou sa ki nan gode nou yo ak nan plat nou yo. Lè sa a, anyen nan tou sa nou genyen p'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka sèvi Bondye.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42Malè pou nou, farizyen! Nou bay Bondye ladim nan donn ti pye mant, pye sitwon ak pye legim. Men, nou pa fè sa ki dwat devan Bondye, nou pa renmen Bondye. Okontrè, se sa pou n' te fè san nou pa bliye fè lòt bagay yo tou.Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.

43Malè pou nou, farizyen! Nan sinagòg yo, nou renmen chita kote pou tout moun wè nou, nou renmen pou moun bese jouk atè pou di nou bonjou sou plas piblik.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Malè pou nou! Paske, nou tankou tonm ki ra tè: moun ap mache sou yo san yo pa konnen.Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Yonn nan dirèktè lalwa yo pran lapawòl, li di Jezi konsa: Mèt, lè ou pale konsa, ou joure nou tou wi.One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Epi Jezi reponn li: Malè pou nou tou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa yo! N'ap chaje moun ak chay ki twò lou pou pote. Men nou menm, nou pa menm manyen l' ak ti dwèt nou.“Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “For you weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.

47Malè pou nou! N'ap bati bèl tonm pou pwofèt zansèt nou yo te touye.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Lè nou fè sa, nou admèt zansèt nou yo te byen fèt; nou dakò ak yo: yo menm yo te touye pwofèt yo, nou menm n'ap bati tonm pou yo.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Se poutèt sa Bondye te di nan bon konprann li: M'ap voye pwofèt avèk apòt ba yo; y'a touye kèk ladan yo, y'a pèsekite lòt yo.Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’

50Se konsa moun alèkile yo ap reskonsab pou san tout pwofèt ki te koule depi lè Bondye te fin kreye latè;As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,

51wi, depi san Abèl jouk san Zakari yo te touye ant lotèl la ak kote ki rezève apa pou Bondye nan tanp lan. Wi. Se mwen k'ap di nou sa: Y'a mande moun alèkile yo kont pou tout krim sa yo.from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.

52Malè pou nou, nou menm direktè lalwa yo! Nou pran kle ki pou louvri pòt kay konesans la: nou menm nou pa antre ladann, epi moun ki ta vle antre, nou anpeche yo antre.Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

53Lè Jezi kite kote l' te ye a, dirèktè lalwa yo ak farizyen yo kòmanse atake l' avèk fòs; yo t'ap poze l' keksyon sou anpil bagay.As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54Yo t'ap pare pèlen pou li pou pran kèk pawòl nan bouch li.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
