Romans 11
1 I SAY then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Konsa, mwen mande: Èske Bondye rejte pèp Li a? Pa janm panse sa! Paske mwen se yon Izrayelit tou, yon desandan Abraham, ki sòti nan tribi Benjamin an.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Bondye pa janm rejte pèp Li a ke Li te konnen oparavan an. Èske ou pa konnen sa Ekriti a di nan pasaj sou Élie, jan li te plede avèk Bondye kont Israël?
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
“Senyè yo touye pwofèt ou yo; yo kraze lotèl ou yo. Se mwen sèl ki rete, e y ap chèche touye m tou.”
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Men ki repons ojis Bondye te bay li?: “Mwen kenbe pou Mwen menm sèt-mil òm ki pa t mete ajenou devan Baal.”
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Nou konprann menm jan ke nan tan prezan pa nou anplis, nou twouve yon retay nan pèp la pa gras ak chwa Bondye.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Men si se pa gras sa rive, li pa baze ankò sou zèv. Otreman li pa t ap gras ankò. Men si se pa zèv, li pa gras ankò. Otreman, zèv se pa zèv ankò.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
Alò, Kisa? Sa ke Israël ap cheche a, sa a, li pa t twouve. Men sila yo ki te chwazi pa Bondye, te twouve l, e rès la te vin di nan kè.
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; ) unto this day.
Jis jan sa te ekri a: “Bondye te bay yo yon espri sòt, zye pou yo pa wè, ak zòrèy pou yo pa tande jiska menm jou sila a.”
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
Konsa, David di: “Kite tab yo devni yon pèlen ak yon pyèj; yon wòch bite ak yon chatiman pou yo.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
Kite zye yo vin nwa pou yo pa wè ak do yo koube pou tout tan.”
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Konsa, mwen mande: “Yo pa t glise tonbe nèt”? Se pa sa! Sa p ap janm rive konsa! Men pa transgresyon pa yo, sali a gen tan rive a pèp etranje yo pou fè yo jalou.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
Alò, si transgresyon pa yo se richès pou mond lan, e echèk pa yo se richès pou pèp etranje yo, konbyen anplis pou lè yo menm reyisi?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Paske m ap pale avèk nou menm ki se pèp etranje yo. Otan ke mwen menm se yon apòt a pèp etranje yo, mwen leve sèvis ministè pa m byen wo.
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
Men pou si l ta ka vin fèt (ke pa yon mwayen oswa yon lòt), si mwen ta kapab eksite pwòp pèp mwen an a jalouzi, pou m ta kapab sove kèk, mwen ta fè l.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
Paske si rejeksyon pa yo se rekonsilyasyon pou tout mond lan, kisa l ap ye menm lè yo vin aksepte, sof ke lavi k ap sòti nan lanmò.
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Si premye mòso ki sòti nan pat pen an sen, tout rès la ap sen tou, e si rasin lan sen, tout branch yo ap sen tou.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Men si kèk nan branch yo te kase retire, epi ou menm, kòm yon oliv sovaj, te vin grefe pami yo, e te devni yon pati vivan avèk yo nan gwo rasin pye oliv la,
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
pa vin awogan anvè branch yo. Men si ou ta vin awogan, sonje ke se pa ou menm ki bay soutyen a rasin lan, men li menm ki bay ou soutyen.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
Konsa ou va di: “Men branch yo te kase pou m te kab vin grefe ladan yo”.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Se sa li ye; yo te kase akoz de enkwayans yo, men ou kanpe pa lafwa ou. Pa vin fè pretansye, men gen lakrent.
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Paske si Bondye pa t konsève branch orijinal yo, Li p ap konsève ou menm nonplis.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Konsa, byen gade bonte ak severite Bondye a. Anvè sila ki tonbe yo, severite, men pou ou menm, bonte Li, si ou kontinye nan bonte Li. Otreman, l ap retire ou tou.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Konsa, yo menm tou si yo pa kontinye nan enkwayans yo, y ap grefe ladann ankò. Paske Bondye toujou kapab grefe yo ladann.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
Paske si ou te koupe soti nan yon bwa ki pa nati li, te yon bwa oliv sovaj, e ou te vin grefe kont nati, nan yon bwa oliv ki kiltive, konbyen anplis tout branch sila yo ki se branch natirèl va grefe nan bwa oliv orijinal la.
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Paske mwen pa vle nou, frè m yo, manke konprann mistè sila apouke ou vin sipoze ou plen ak sajès. Yon tèt di nan yon pati gen tan pran Israël jiskaske tout pèp etranje yo fin antre.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Konsa, tout Israël va sove. Jis jan sa ekri a: “Sila k ap delivre a va sòti de Sion. Li va retire enkwayans a Jacob.”
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
“Sa se akò Mwen avèk yo; lè Mwen va retire peche pa yo.”
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
Nan bi bòn nouvèl la, yo menm se lènmi pou benefis pa nou. Men selon bi chwa Bondye a, yo se byeneme pou benefis a zansèt yo.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Paske kado ak apèl Bondye pa revokab.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Menm jan ke yon fwa ou te nan dezobeyisans a Bondye, men koulye a Li bannou gras akoz dezobeyisans a Jwif yo,
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
konsa, yo menm tou dezobeyisan koulye a, men akoz mizerikòd Bondye gen tan bannou, yo kapab twouve gras tou.
Paske Bondye gen tan fèmen nou tout nan dezobeyisans pou li kapab montre nou tout mizerikòd li. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
O, pwofondè richès a sajès ak konesans Bondye! A la ensondab Jijman Li ensondab! A la chemen Li yo depase konprann!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller?
Paske “Kilès ki konnen panse a Senyè a?” Oubyen “Kilès ki kapab bay Li konsèy?”
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Oswa “Kilès ki konn bay Li yon bagay pou Li kapab repeye li ankò?”
