< Romans 1 >
1 Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel of God,
Se mwen menm Pòl, sèvitè Jezikri, yon nonm Bondye rele pou sèvi li apòt, yon nonm li mete apa pou anonse bon nouvèl li a, k'ap ekri nou tout kretyen ki nan lavil Wòm.
2 (Which he had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures)
Depi lontan Bondye te pwomèt bon nouvèl sa a pa bouch pwofèt li yo, nan Liv Sentespri te fè yo ekri a.
3 Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid according to the flesh,
Bon Nouvèl sa a pale nou sou Pitit li a, Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Lè pou l' te fèt tankou yon moun, Jezi soti nan fanmi wa David.
4 And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead)
Men, dapre Sentespri ki fè nou viv pou Bondye, li te fè nou wè avèk pouvwa se Pitit Bondye a li ye, lè l' te leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
5 By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles,
Gremesi Jezikri sa a, Bondye fè m' favè pou m' travay tankou apòt, pou m' mennen moun tout nasyon, nan non menm Kris la, pou yo vin kwè nan li, pou yo obeyi li.
6 Among whom ye be also the called of Iesus Christ:
Nou menm kretyen ki nan lavil Wòm, nou fè pati nasyon sa yo tou: Bondye rele nou pou n' antre nan fanmi Jezikri a.
7 To all you that be at Rome beloued of God, called to be Saints: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Se sak fè m'ap ekri nou, nou menm Bondye renmen anpil, nou menm Bondye rele pou viv apa pou li. Mwen mande Bondye, Papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.
8 First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole world.
Anvan m' di nou lòt bagay, kite m' di Bondye mèsi pou nou gremesi Jezikri. Paske, toupatou sou latè y'ap pale jan nou gen konfyans nan Bondye.
9 For God is my witnesse (whom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne) that without ceasing I make mention of you
Mwen pran Bondye pou temwen, Bondye m'ap sèvi ak tout kè mwen lè m'ap anonse bon nouvèl Pitit li a. Se toutan m'ap nonmen non nou;
10 Alwayes in my prayers, beseeching that by some meanes, one time or other I might haue a prosperous iourney by the will of God, to come vnto you.
se san rete m'ap lapriyè pou nou; m'ap mande Bondye pou l' kite mwen vin vizite nou yon lè konsa, si se volonte li.
11 For I long to see you, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened:
Se pa ti anvi mwen pa anvi wè nou pou m' separe ak nou kèk benediksyon Bondye ban mwen, pou n' kapab vin pi fèm.
12 That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours and mine.
Mwen vle di pito, pou m' ta la nan mitan nou, pou yonn kapab ankouraje lòt ak konfyans nou gen ansanm nan menm Bondye a.
13 Now my brethren, I would that ye should not be ignorant, how that I haue oftentimes purposed to come vnto you (but haue bene let hitherto) that I might haue some fruite also among you, as I haue among the other Gentiles.
Frè m' yo, mwen vle nou konn sa: plizyè fwa menm, mwen fè lide al vizite nou, pou jan mwen te anvi wè travay mwen bay bon rezilta nan mitan nou menm jan li bay bon rezilta nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Men, chak fwa mwen jwenn anpechman, jouk koulye a.
14 I am detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise.
Se yon devwa pou mwen pou m' anonse bon nouvèl la bay tout moun: kit yo eklere, kit yo pa eklere, kit yo konn li, kit yo pa konn li.
15 Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that are at Rome.
Se poutèt sa, m' anvi vin anonse bon nouvèl la ban nou, nou menm ki rete lavil Wòm.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth, to the Iewe first, and also to the Grecian.
Mwen pa wont anonse bon nouvèl la: se pouvwa Bondye ki la pou delivre tout moun ki kwè, jwif yo an premye, apre yo moun lòt nasyon yo tou.
17 For by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith.
Bon nouvèl sa a fè nou wè ki jan Bondye fè moun gras. Travay sa a, li kòmanse ak konfyans moun gen nan Bondye, li fini nan menm konfyans la tou, jan sa te ekri a: Moun Bondye fè gras paske li gen konfyans nan Bondye, se li menm ki va gen lavi.
18 For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.
Se poutèt sa, n'ap wè kòlè Bondye soti nan syèl la, li tonbe sou tout mechanste ak tout lenjistis moun fè. Sitèlman kè yo pa bon, y'ap chache anpeche verite a fè travay li.
19 Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto them.
Bondye ap peni yo tou paske tou sa yo ka konnen sou Bondye parèt byen klè devan je yo. Se Bondye menm ki fè sa konsa pou yo.
20 For the inuisible things of him, that is, his eternal power and Godhead, are seene by ye creation of the worlde, being considered in his workes, to the intent that they should be without excuse: (aïdios )
Se vre wi. Depi Bondye te fin kreye tout bagay, tout moun ki egzaminen travay li yo ka konprann ki kalite moun Bondye ye, bagay nou pa ka wè ak je nou: ki vle di, jan li gen yon pouvwa ki p'ap janm fini, jan li se Bondye tout bon. Se sak fè moun sa yo pa gen eskiz menm. (aïdios )
21 Because that when they knewe God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their thoughtes, and their foolish heart was full of darkenesse.
Yo te konn Bondye byen pwòp, men yo pa bay Bondye lwanj ki pou li, yo pa di l' mèsi jan l' merite l' la. Lekontrè, y'ap mete yon bann lide ki pa gen sans nan tèt yo, yo san konprann, fènwa fin plen kè yo.
22 When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles.
Y'ap mache di se moun lespri yo ye. Men, se fou yo fin fou.
23 For they turned the glorie of the incorruptible God to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birdes, and foure footed beastes, and of creeping things.
Pase pou yo adore Bondye ki p'ap janm mouri a ak tout bèl bagay li yo, yo pito sèvi pòtre moun ki gen pou mouri, pòtre zwazo, pòtre bèt kat pa t' ak bèt ki trennen sou vant.
24 Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:
Lèzòm vin sitèlman fou, Bondye kite yo tonbe nan fè tout kalite bagay ki pa dakò ak volonte li dapre vye lanvi ki nan kè yo. Se yon wont pou wè sa yo fè ak pwòp kò yo.
25 Which turned the trueth of God vnto a lie, and worshipped and serued the creature, forsaking the Creator, which is blessed for euer, Amen. (aiōn )
Yo mete manti nan plas verite Bondye a. Yo pito adore kreyati Bondye, yo pito sèvi yo pase pou yo adore Bondye ki kreye yo a, li menm ki merite pou n' fè lwanj li tout tan. Amèn. (aiōn )
26 For this cause God gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that which is against nature.
Se poutèt sa, Bondye kite yo fè sa yo pito. Men, se sa k'ap avili yo tou: fanm pa vle sèvi ak kò yo jan yo dwe; yo pito fè sa ki pa bon.
27 And likewise also the men left the naturall vse of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthinesse, and receiued in themselues such recompence of their errour, as was meete.
Se konsa tou, gason derefize sèvi ak fanm jan sa te dwe fèt. Yo pran dife yonn pou lòt: gason fè malpwòpte ak gason parèy yo. Yo pèdi tèt yo nèt. Men tou, yo resevwa nan kò yo penisyon yo merite a.
28 For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, euen so God deliuered them vp vnto a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient,
Yo refize bay Bondye premye plas nan kè yo. Bondye tou kite yo tonbe anba pouvwa lespri yo ki fin deraye pou yo fè bagay yo pa t' dwe fè.
29 Being full of all vnrighteousnesse, fornication, wickednes, couetousnes, maliciousnes, full of enuie, of murder, of debate, of deceit, taking all things in the euill part, whisperers,
Men sèl lide ki nan tèt yo: se fè tout kalite lenjistis, tout kalite mechanste, se anvi sò moun, se fè rayisab. Se sa sèlman ki nan kè yo: fè jalouzi, touye moun, chache moun kont, fè riz, fè koken. Yo tripòt konsa.
30 Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents,
Yonn pale lòt mal. Yo pa vle wè Bondye, yo ensolan, yo awogan, yo grandizè. Yo toujou ap chache lòt jan pou fè sa ki mal, yo fwonte ak paran yo.
31 without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse.
Yo san konsyans, yo pa kenbe pawòl yo. Kè yo di konsa, yo san pitye pou lòt moun.
32 Which men, though they knew ye Lawe of God, how that they which comit such things are worthie of death, yet not onely do the same, but also fauour them that doe them.
Yo konn jijman Bondye a byen pwòp: yo konnen moun ki fè bagay sa yo merite lanmò. Atousa, y'ap plede fè yo toujou. Sa ki pi rèd, yo dakò ak moun k'ap fè yo tou.
