Luke 20 (HAT) · Opened

1Yon 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.One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.

2Yo 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?“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Jezi reponn yo: Mwen pral poze nou yon keksyon, mwen menm tou.“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4Di mwen kilès ki te voye Jan Batis batize moun: Bondye osinon lèzòm?John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Men, yonn t'ap di lòt: Si nou reponn se Bondye ki voye l', la mande nou poukisa nou pa t' kwè li.They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Si 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 if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Lè sa a yo reponn li: Nou pa konn ki moun ki te voye l' batize.So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Jezi di yo: Enben, mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap di nou avèk ki otorite m'ap fè bagay sa yo.And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Apre 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 He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

10Lè 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.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

11Mèt 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.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Mèt jaden an voye yon twazyèm domestik. Fwa sa a, yo blese l', yo mete l' deyò.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13Lè 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.‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14Men, 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 tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

15Yo jete l' deyò jaden an, yo touye li. Atò, kisa mèt jaden an pral fè yo?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16L'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 will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”

17Men, 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.But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

18Tout 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.Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Menm 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.When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.

20Yo 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.So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.

21Espyon 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.“Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

22Manyè di nou: Eske lalwa nou an pèmèt nou peye Seza lajan kontribisyon an, wi ou non?Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Men, Jezi wè se nan pèlen yo te vle pran li. Li di yo:But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24Moutre 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.“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Lè sa a li di yo: Enben, bay Seza sak pou Seza, bay Bondye sak pou Bondye.So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Yo 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 were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Sadiseyen 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 some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28Mèt, 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.“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

29Se konsa, te gen sèt frè. Premye a marye, li mouri san l' pa kite pitit.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30Dezyèm lan marye ak vèv la. Apre sa, twazyèm lan marye avè l' tou.Then the second

31Konsa konsa, sèt frè yo marye ak fanm lan yonn apre lòt, epi yo tout yo mouri san kite pitit.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Apre yo tout fin mouri, fanm lan mouri poutèt pa l' tou.And last of all, the woman died.

33Lè 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?So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Jezi reponn yo: Isit sou latè, fanm ak gason nan marye.Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35Men, 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 those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

36Yo pa ka mouri ankò, se tankou zanj Bondye yo ye, yo se pitit Bondye, paske yo leve soti vivan nan lanmò.In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.

37Wi, 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.Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

38Bondye se Bondye moun vivan li ye, li pa Bondye moun mouri, paske pou li tout moun vivan.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Lè sa a, kèk dirèktè lalwa pran lapawòl, yo di: Mèt, ou byen pale.Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Apre sa, yo pa t' gen odas poze l' ankenn lòt keksyon.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Jezi di yo: Ki jan yo fè di Kris la se pitit pitit David li ye?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Men, sa David menm te di nan liv Sòm yo: Bondye Mèt la te di Seyè mwen an: Chita la sou bò dwat mwen,For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43jouk tan mwen fè lènmi yo tounen yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44Si David rele Kris la Seyè, ki jan pou Kris la ta ka pitit pitit li?Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Lè sa a, tout pèp la t'ap koute Jezi. Li di disip li yo:In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46Pran 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. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

47Se 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.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
