Luke 5 (HAT) · Opened

1Yon jou, Jezi te bò kote letan Jenezarèt la; yon foul moun t'ap kwense l' toupatou pou tande pawòl Bondye a.On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God,

2Li wè de kannòt bò rivaj la; pechè yo te desann atè, yo t'ap lave senn yo.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Jezi moute nan yonn nan kannòt yo ki te pou Simon. Li mande l' pou l' vanse yon ti kras nan fon. Antan Jezi chita nan kannòt la, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay.Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.

4Lè li fin pale, li di Simon konsa: Vanse kannòt la plis nan fon; jete senn ou pou peche.When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simon reponn li: Mèt, nou pase tout nwit lan ap travay san nou pa pran anyen. Men, paske se ou ki di nou fè sa, nou pral lage senn lan.“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Yo lage senn lan; yo pran yon kantite pwason. Tèlman pwason yo te anpil, senn lan t'ap chire.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Yo fè asosye yo ki te nan lòt kannòt la siy vin ede yo. Yo vini; de kannòt yo te sitèlman plen pwason, yo te prèt pou koule.So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

8Lè Simon Pyè wè sa, li lage kò l' nan pye Jezi, li di l' konsa: Mèt, pa rete kote mwen, paske mwen pa bon.When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Yon sèl sezisman te pran Simon ak tout mesye ki te avèk li yo lè yo wè kantite pwason yo te pran.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Se te menm bagay la tou pou Jak ak Jan, de pitit Zebede yo, ki te asosye Simon. Lè sa a Jezi di Simon: Pa pè. Depi koulye a se moun ou pral peche.and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”

11Yo mennen kannòt yo atè, yo kite tout bagay, y' ale avèk Jezi.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Pandan Jezi te nan yon lavil, yon nonm ki te kouvri ak lalèp vin rive. Lè l' wè Jezi, li lage kò l' fas atè, li di l' konsa: Mèt, si ou vle, ou ka geri mwen.While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

13Jezi lonje men l', li manyen nonm lan, li di l': Wi, mwen vle ou geri. Menm lè a, lalèp la kite li.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Jezi pase l' lòd sevè sa a: Pa di pesonn sa. Men, ale fè prèt la wè ki jan ou ye. Apre sa, wa ofri sa Moyiz te bay lòd ofri a. Konsa wa bay tout moun prèv ou geri.“Do not tell anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

15Malgre sa, nouvèl la gaye pi plis; moun t'ap vin an foul pou tande li, pou chache gerizon nan men li.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Men, Jezi wete kò l', li al yon kote ki pa gen moun menm, li t'ap lapriyè.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Yon jou, Jezi t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Kèk farizyen ak kèk dirèktè lalwa te chita la; yo te soti nan tout bouk Galile yo, nan bouk Jide yo ak nan lavil Jerizalèm. Pouvwa Bondye te avèk Jezi, li t'ap geri malad yo.One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.

18Se konsa, kèk moun vin ap pote yon nonm paralize kouche sou yon kabann. Yo t'ap chache fè l' antre nan kay la pou mete l' devan Jezi.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Men, akòz foul moun yo, yo pa t' jwenn plas pou fè l' antre. Lè yo wè sa, yo moute sou do kay la, yo fè yon twou nan kouvèti kay la ki te fèt an brik, yo file malad la desann ak tout kabann li, nan mitan moun yo, dwat devan Jezi.but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

20Jezi wè jan yo te kwè nan li, li di nonm malad la: Monchè, tout peche ou yo padonnen.When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen yo t'ap di nan kè yo: Kilès nonm sa a k'ap pale mal sou Bondye konsa? Pa gen moun sou latè ki ka padonnen peche: sa se travay Bondye sèlman.But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Jezi menm te konnen sak t'ap pase nan tèt yo, li di yo konsa: Poukisa n'ap fè lide konsa nan tèt nou?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Ki sak pi fasil pou m' di: Peche ou yo padonnen osinon: Leve kanpe, mache.Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Enben, m'ap fè nou konnen mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen gen pouvwa sou latè pou m' padonnen peche tande. Apre sa, Jezi di nonm paralize a: Se mwen menm k'ap pale avè ou: Leve kanpe, pran kabann ou, ale lakay ou.But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins…” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

25Menm lè a, nonm lan kanpe devan yo tout, li pran kabann li te kouche sou li a, li al lakay li, li t'ap fè lwanj Bondye.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Tout moun te sezi. Yo t'ap fè lwanj Bondye. Yo te pè anpil tou, yo t'ap di: Ala bèl mèvèy nou wè jòdi a!Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Apre sa, Jezi soti, li wè yon pèseptè kontribisyon yo te rele Levi. Li te chita devan biwo travay li.After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Jezi di l' konsa: Swiv mwen. Levi annik leve, li kite tout bagay, li swiv Jezi.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Apre sa, Levi fè yon gwo resepsyon lakay li pou Jezi. Te gen anpil pèseptè kontribisyon ansanm ak lòt moun ankò ki te chita bò tab la avèk yo.Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.

30Farizyen yo ak dirèktè lalwa ki te fè gwoup ak yo t'ap babye, yo di disip Jezi yo: Poukisa n'ap plede manje, n'ap plede bwè konsa ak pèseptè kontribisyon ansanm ak lòt moun k'ap fè sa ki mal?But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Jezi reponn yo: Lè yon moun ansante, li pa bezwen dòktè. Se moun malad ki bezwen dòktè.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Enben, mwen pa vin rele moun k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye, men moun k'ap fè sa ki mal pou yo kapab tounen vin jwenn Bondye.I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Gen kèk moun ki di Jezi konsa: Patizan Jan Batis yo ak patizan farizyen yo fè jèn souvan, se tout tan y'ap lapriyè. Men disip pa ou yo, tout tan se manje, se bwè.Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Jezi reponn yo: Eske nou ka fòse zanmi yon nonm k'ap marye pou yo rete san manje tout tan li la avèk yo?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Non. Men, lè lè a rive pou nonm k'ap marye a pa avèk yo ankò, se lè sa a y'a fè jèn.But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Epi li di yo parabòl sa a: Pesonn p'ap chire yon moso nan yon rad nèf pou pyese yon vye rad. Si ou fè sa, ou chire rad nèf la, lèfini moso twal nèf la pa ale ak vye rad la non plis.He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.

37Konsa tou, pesonn pa mete diven ki fenk fèt nan vye veso fèt an po. Si ou fè sa, diven ki fenk fèt la va pete veso an po yo. Lè sa a, diven an koule atè, veso an po yo pèdi tou.And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined.

38Men, diven ki fenk fèt, sa dwe ale nan veso an po ki fenk fèt tou.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Yon moun ki fin bwè diven ki la lontan p'ap vle bwè diven ki fenk fèt. Se sa pawòl la di: Pi vye pi bon.And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
