Matthew 5 (HAT)

1Lè Jezi wè foul moun yo, li moute sou yon mòn. Li chita. Disip li yo pwoche bò kote l'.When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2Li tanmen moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Li di yo:and He began to teach them, saying:

3Benediksyon pou moun ki konnen se pòv yo ye devan Bondye, paske peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se pou yo li ye.“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Benediksyon pou moun ki nan lapenn, paske Bondye va ba yo kouraj.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Benediksyon pou moun ki dou, paske y'a resevwa byen Bondye te sere pou yo a sou latè.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Benediksyon pou moun ki anvi viv jan Bondye vle l' la, paske Bondye va ba yo sa yo vle a.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Benediksyon pou moun ki gen kè sansib, paske Bondye va fè yo wè jan li gen kè sansib tou.Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Benediksyon pou moun ki pa gen move lide nan tèt yo, paske y'a wè Bondye.Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Benediksyon pou moun k'ap travay pou lèzòm viv byen yonn ak lòt, paske Bondye va rele yo pitit li.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Benediksyon pou moun ki anba pèsekisyon lè y'ap fè sa Bondye mande, paske peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se pou yo li ye.Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Benediksyon pou nou lè moun va joure nou, lè y'a pèsekite nou, lè y'a fè tout kalite manti sou nou paske se moun pa m' nou ye.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Fè kè nou kontan. Wi, nou mèt kontan nèt, paske yon gwo rekonpans ap tann nou nan syèl la. Se konsa yo te pèsekite pwofèt ki te vini anvan nou yo.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13Se sèl nou ye pou moun sou latè. Si sèl la pèdi gou l', ak kisa pou yo ba li gou ankò? Li pa vo anyen ankò. Se jete pou yo voye sa jete deyò, pou moun pile sa anba pye yo.You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

14Se limyè nou ye pou moun sou latè. Moun pa kapab kache yon lavil ki bati sou yon mòn.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Ni yo pa limen yon lanp pou mete l' anba yon mamit. Men, yo mete l' sou yon etajè, pou l' klere pou tout moun ki nan kay la.Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

16Konsa tou, se pou limyè nou klere devan tout moun, pou lè yo wè tout byen n'ap fè yo, y'a fè lwanj Papa nou ki nan syèl la.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17Pa mete nan tèt nou mwen vin aboli lalwa Moyiz la ak sa pwofèt yo te moutre nou. Mwen pa vin pou aboli yo, mwen vin moutre sa yo vle di tout bon.Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.

18Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: tout tan syèl la ak tè a va la, pa yon ti detay, ni yon sèl ti bout lèt nan lalwa a p'ap disparèt, jouk tout bagay ki pou rive yo rive.For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

19Se sa ki fè, moun ki va dezobeyi yonn nan pi piti nan kòmandman sa yo, epi ki va moutre lòt moun pou yo fè menm jan an tou, moun sa a va pase pou pi piti nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la. Konsa tou, moun ki obeyi kòmandman sa yo, k'ap moutre lòt moun jan pou yo fè l' tou, moun sa a va pase pou pi gran nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20Paske m'ap di nou sa: Si nou pa obeyi Lalwa Bondye a pi byen pase farizyen yo ak direktè lalwa yo, si nou pa viv pi byen pase yo, nou p'ap kapab antre nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di zansèt nou yo: Piga ou janm touye moun. Moun ki touye moun, se pou yo jije yo.You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Men, mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Nenpòt moun ki ankòlè sou frè l', se pou yo jije li. Moun ki joure frè l' enbesil, se pou yo jije l' devan Gran Konsèy la. Si yon moun di frè l' moun fou, li bon pou yo jete l' nan dife lanfè a.But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to the fire of hell.

23Konsa, si lè w'ap mete ofrann ou sou lotèl la bay Bondye, epi antan ou la devan lotèl la, ou chonje frè ou gen kichòy kont ou, men sa pou ou fè:So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24Kite ofrann lan la devan lotèl la, ale byen ak frè ou la anvan. Apre sa, wa tounen vin bay Bondye ofrann ou an.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25Si yon moun pote plent pou ou nan tribinal, prese mete ou dakò avè l' antan nou prale ansanm nan tribinal la, pou li pa lage ou nan men jij la, pou jij la pa lage ou nan men lapolis, pou yo pa mete ou nan prizon.Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

26Sa m'ap di ou la, se vre wi: ou p'ap soti nan prizon an toutotan ou pa peye dènye lajan yo mande ou la.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di: Piga ou janm fè adiltè.You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Si yon nonm gade yon fi avèk lanvi, li deja fè adiltè avè l' nan kè l'.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29Si se grenn je dwat ou ki pou ta fè ou tonbe nan peche, rache l' voye jete byen lwen ou. Pito ou pèdi yon sèl manm nan kò ou, pase pou yo voye tout kò ou nèt jete nan lanfè.If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

30Si se men dwat ou ki pou ta fè ou tonbe nan peche, koupe l' voye jete byen lwen ou. Pito ou pèdi yon sèl nan manm ou yo, pase pou tout kò a nèt al nan lanfè.And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell.

31Yo te konn di nou tou: Si yon nonm vle kite ak madanm li, fòk li ekri l' yon papye divòs.It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Men mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Yon nonm ki kite ak madanm li, si se pa pou lenkondit, nonm sa a lakòz madanm lan fè adiltè. Konsa tou, yon nonm ki marye ak yon madanm mari l' kite l', li fè adiltè tou.But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

33Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di zansèt nou yo: Ou pa dwe refize fè sa ou te sèmante pou ou te fè a. Se pou ou fè sa ou te sèmante fè devan Bondye.Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Men mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Pa fè sèman menm. Pa fè sèman sou syèl la, paske syèl la se fotèy kote Bondye chita.But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35Pa fè sèman sou tè a, paske tè a se ti ban kote Bondye poze pye li. Pa fè sèman sou lavil Jerizalèm, paske se lavil gwo Wa a.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Pa fè sèman non plis sou tèt pa ou, paske ou pa ka fè yon sèl grenn cheve nan tèt ou tounen blan osinon nwa.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Men, lè w'ap pale se wi ak non pou ou genyen ase. Tou sa ou mete an plis, se nan Satan sa soti.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di: yon je pou yon je, yon dan pou yon dan.You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Men mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Pa tire revanj sou moun ki fè nou mal. Si yon moun ba ou yon souflèt sou bò dwat, ba li bò gòch la tou.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40Si yon moun vle rele ou nan tribinal pou l' pran chemiz ou, kite palto a ba li tou.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41Si yon chèf vle fòse ou pote yon chaj pou li sou distans yon kilomèt, fè de kolomèt avè l'.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Bay lè moun mande ou. Pa refize prete moun ki mande ou prete.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43Nou tande ki jan nan tan lontan yo te di: Se pou nou renmen frè parèy nou, men se pou nou rayi lènmi nou yo.You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Men mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: renmen tout lènmi nou yo, lapriyè pou moun k'ap pèsekite nou.But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45Se konsa n'a tounen pitit Papa nou ki nan syèl la. Paske, li fè solèy la leve ni pou moun ki mechan ni pou moun ki bon. Li fè lapli tonbe ni pou moun k'ap fè sa ki byen ni pou moun k'ap fè sa ki mal.that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

46Si nou plede renmen moun ki renmen nou ase, ki rekonpans nou merite pou sa? Eske pèseptè kontribisyon yo pa fè sa tou?If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47Lèfini, si se frè nou ase nou di bonjou, se yon pakèt afè sa ye atò? Eske moun lòt nasyon yo pa fè sa tou?And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Non, nou fèt pou nou bon nèt, menm jan Bondye Papa nou ki nan syèl la bon nèt.Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
