Luke 3 (HAT) · Opened

1Nan tan sa a, Seza Tibè te gen kenzan depi li te wa; Pons Pilat t'ap kòmande nan peyi Jide; Ewòd menm te chèf nan peyi Galile; Filip, frè Ewòd la, te chèf nan peyi Litoure ak nan rejyon Trakonit; Lizanyas te chèf nan Labilèn.In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

2Lè sa a, se An ak Kayif ki t'ap sèvi tankou granprèt. Nan menm epòk sa a, Bondye pale ak Jan, pitit Zakari a, ki te nan dezè a.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Jan mache nan tout peyi bò larivyè Jouden an; li t'ap bay mesaj sa a: Tounen vin jwenn Bondye. vin resevwa batèm: Bondye va padonnen peche nou yo.He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Se konsa, sa ki te ekri nan Liv ki gen pawòl pwofèt Ezayi a vin rive vre: Se vwa yon nonm k'ap rele nan dezè a: Pare gran wout Seyè nou an. Plani chemen an byen plani pou li.as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.

5Tout fon gen pou konble. Tout gwo mòn, tout ti mòn gen pou vin plat. Kote ki gen detou gen pou vin dwat. Chemen ki an movèz eta gen pou vin bèl.Every valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.

6Tout moun va wè jan Bondye ap delivre nou an.And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Moun t'ap vin an foul bò kote Jan pou l' te batize yo. Lè konsa li di yo: Bann vèmen! Ki moun ki fè nou konnen nou kapab chape anba kòlè Bondye k'ap vini an?Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

8Fè bagay ki pou fè wè nou chanje lavi nou tout bon. Sispann di nan kè nou: Se pitit pitit Abraram nou ye! Paske, mwen pa kache di nou sa: Bondye kapab pran wòch sa yo, li fè yo tounen pitit pou Abraram.Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

9Epitou, rach la tou pare pou koupe rasin pyebwa yo. Nenpòt pyebwa ki pa bay bon donn, yo pral koupe sa, jete nan dife.The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”

10Foul moun yo mande l' konsa: Kisa pou nou fè menm?The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Li reponn yo: Sa ki gen de rad, se pou yo bay sak pa genyen an yonn. Sa ki gen manje pou manje, se pou l' separe l' bay yon lòt.John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Kèk pèseptè kontribisyon te vini tou pou l' te batize yo. Yo mande Jan: Mèt, kisa pou nou fè?Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13Li reponn yo: Pa fè moun peye plis pase sa lalwa mande a.“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Kèk sòlda tou mande li: E nou menm, kisa pou nou fè? Li reponn yo: Pa fè brital ak pesonn. Pa fè manti sou pesonn pou pran lajan nan men yo. Fè kè nou kontan ak sa yo peye nou an.Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” “Do not take money by force or false accusation,” he said. “Be content with your wages.”

15Pèp la t'ap tann konsa: yo t'ap mande nan kè yo si se pa Jan ki Kris la.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Lè sa a, Jan di yo tout: Mwen batize nou nan dlo. Men, gen yon moun ki gen pou vini ki gen plis pouvwa anpil pase mwen. Mwen menm, mwen pa bon ase pou m' ta demare kòd sapat ki nan pye li. Se li menm ki va batize nou nan Sentespri ak nan dife.John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

17Laye l' nan men li, l'ap vannen tout grenn ki sou glasi a. La ranmase grenn ki bon yo, la mete yo nan galata li. Men, l'ap boule pay la nan yon dife ki p'ap janm mouri.His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

18Se avèk anpil lòt pawòl konsa Jan t'ap ba yo konsèy, li t'ap anonse bon nouvèl la bay pèp la.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Men, Jan te fè chèf Ewòd repwòch poutèt Ewodyad, madanm frè li a, li te pran pou madanm li, ak pou anpil lòt move zak li te fè.But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20Le sa a, Ewòd mete ankò sou sa l' te fè deja: li fè fèmen Jan nan prizon.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Lè Jan te fin batize tout moun, li batize Jezi tou. Antan Jezi t'ap lapriyè, syèl la louvri.When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22Sentespri a desann sou li an fòm yon ti pijon. Yon vwa soti nan syèl la, li di: Ou se Pitit mwen renmen anpil la, ou fè kè m' kontan anpil.and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
