Chapit 38: Farizyen an ak Pibliken an

Jesus tells a parable to some people who think they are better and more righteous than others - ch.40-1

Yon jou Sovè a t ap pale avèk kèk moun ki te panse ke yo te pi fidèl pase tout lòt moun. Jezi te rakonte yo yon istwa.

A Pharisee and a publican go to the temple to pray - ch.40-2

De mesye te ale nan tanp lan pou priye. Youn sete yon Farizyen. Lòt la sete yon pibliken, yon pèseptè kontribisyon. Moun yo pa t renmen pèseptè kontribisyon. Yo te panse ke yo pa t moun onèt.

Lik 18:10

The Pharisee thanks God that he is better than other people - The publican prays for mercy on himself as a sinner - ch.40-3

Farizyen an te kanpe devan lòt moun yo pou l priye. Li te di Bondye mèsi dèske li te pi bon pase tout lòt moun. Li te di ke li jene defwa pa semèn epi li peye dim ni. Pibliken an te kanpe poukont li, li te bese tèt li, epi li te priye: “Bondye, gen pitye pou mwen ki fè anpil peche.”

Lik 18:11–13

Jesus explains that the Pharisee thought he did not sin or need help from God, but the publican admitted sinning and wanted to repent - ch.40-4

Farizyen an te panse ke li te pafè e li pa t bezwen èd Bondye. Men pibliken an te konnen ki li pa t pafè epi li te bezwen èd Bondye. Li te gen imilite epi li te mande Bondye pou padone li.

Lik 18:14

Jesus tells the people to be like the publican because he, not the Pharisee, would be forgiven - ch.40-5

Jezi te di moun yo ta dwe tankou pibliken an. Yo pa dwe panse ke yo pi bon pase tout lòt moun. Yo dwe repanti pou peche yo epi mande Bondye pou padone yo.
