Romans 15
1 And we ought—we who are strong—to bear the weaknesses of the powerless, and not to please ourselves;
Alò nou menm ki fò, nou dwe sipòte feblès sila ki san fòs yo, e se pa sèlman fè pwòp tèt nou plezi.
2 for let each one of us please the neighbor for good, for edification,
Ke chak en de nou fè kè vwazen nou alèz pou l ka jwenn tout sa ki bon, k ap fè l plen konfyans.
3 for even the Christ did not please Himself, but according as it has been written: “The reproaches of those reproaching You fell on Me”;
Paske menm Kris pa t fè tèt li plezi, menm jan sa ekri a: “Repwòch de sila ki te repwoche ou yo te tonbe sou Mwen.”
4 for as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.
Paske tout bagay ki te ekri nan tan pase yo te ekri pou enstwi nou menm; pouke selon pèseverans ak ankourajman Ekriti yo, nou ta kapab vin genyen lespwa.
5 And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,
Koulye a mwen priye, pou menm Bondye ki bay pèseverans ak ankourajman an kapab fè nou gen menm panse, youn avèk lòt atravè Jésus Kris:
6 that with one accord—with one mouth—you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Pouke nan tout akò pou nou kapab avèk yon sèl vwa bay glwa a Bondye, Papa a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.
7 for this reason receive one another, according as also the Christ received us, to the glory of God.
Konsa aksepte youn lòt, menm jan ke Kris osi te aksepte nou pou laglwa Bondye a.
8 And I say Jesus Christ to have become a servant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers,
Paske mwen di ke Kris gen tan vin yon sèvitè a sila ki sikonsi yo, anfavè verite a Bondye a pou konfime pwomès ki te fèt a zansèt yo;
9 and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it has been written: “Because of this I will confess to You among nations, and to Your Name I will sing praise”;
epi pou pèp etranje yo ta ka bay Bondye glwa pou mizerikòd Li, jan sa ekri a: “Konsa, Mwen va bay Ou lwanj pami pèp etranje yo, e mwen va chante Non Ou.”
10 and again it says, “Rejoice you nations, with His people”;
Li di ankò: “Rejwi, O pèp etranje yo avèk pèp Li a.”
11 and again, “Praise the LORD, all you nations; and laud Him, all you peoples”;
Epi ankò: “Bay lwanj a Senyè a, nou tout pèp etranje yo! Kite tout pèp yo ba Li lwanj.”
12 and again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, and He who is rising to rule nations—on Him will nations hope”;
Esaïe di ankò: “Li va gen rasin Jessé a; Sila ki leve pou renye sou pèp etranje yo. Nan Li menm, pèp etranje yo va mete espwa yo.”
13 and the God of the hope will fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.
Koulye a, ke Bondye esperans lan kapab ranpli nou avèk lajwa ak lapè nan lafwa pouke nou kapab plen avèk esperans pa pwisans a Lespri Sen an.
14 And I am persuaded, my brothers—I myself also—concerning you, that you yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, also able to admonish one another;
Epi konsènan nou menm, frè mwen yo, mwen gen konviksyon ke nou menm, nou plen ak bonte, byen ranpli avèk tout konesans, e kapab osi egzòte youn lòt.
15 and the more boldly I wrote to you, brothers, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,
Men mwen ekri nou avèk kouraj sou kèk pwen pou fè nou sonje ankò, akoz gras Bondye ke mwen resevwa a,
16 for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
pou m kapab yon sèvitè Jésus Kris pou pèp etranje yo, pou m fè sèvis kòm yon prèt pou levanjil Bondye a, jis pou ofrann mwen bay pèp etranje yo kapab vin akseptab, e byen sanktifye pa Lespri Sen an.
17 I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,
Konsa, nan Jésus Kri mwen gen tan twouve rezon pou vante tèt mwen nan bagay ki apatyen a Bondye.
18 for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,
Mwen p ap pèmèt mwen pale de okenn bagay sof de sa ke Kris gen tan akonpli atravè mwen an, kon rezilta a, obeyisans pèp etranje yo pa pawòl ak aksyon,
19 in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;
nan pouvwa sign ak mirak yo nan pouvwa Lespri a, pouke soti Jérusalem jis rive nan Illyrie ak anviwon peyi a, mwen fin preche tout levanjil a Kris la.
20 and so counting it honor to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named—that on another’s foundation I might not build—
Se konsa mwen vle preche levanjil la; pa kote ke Kris te deja konnen pou m pa bati sou fondasyon a yon lòt moun,
21 but according as it has been written: “To whom it was not told concerning Him, they will see; and they who have not heard, will understand.”
Men jan sa ekri a: “Sila ki pa gen nouvèl Li yo va wè, e sila ki pa tande yo va konprann”.
22 For this reason, also, I was hindered many times from coming to you,
Pou rezon sa a byen souvan mwen anpeche vin kote nou.
23 and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come to you for many years,
Men koulye a, akoz pa gen lòt andwa pou mwen nan rejyon sa yo, e depi anpil ane mwen anvi vin wè nou,
24 when I may go on to Spain I will come to you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward there, if of you first, in part, I will be filled.
nenpòt lè mwen ale Espagne, mwen espere wè nou pandan m ap pase. Konsa nou kapab ede m fin rive la apre mwen fin rejwi de prezans nou pandan kèk tan.
25 And now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the holy ones;
Men koulye a mwen prale Jérusalem pou sèvi fidèl yo.
26 for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the holy ones who [are] in Jerusalem;
Paske legliz yo nan Macédoine ak Achaïe te kontan fè yon don pou malere yo pami fidèl Jérusalem yo.
27 for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if the nations participated in their spiritual things, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.
Wi, yo te kontan fè sa, e yo dwe yo. Paske si pèp etranje yo gen tan pataje bagay ki soti nan Lespri Bondye a, yo dwe remèt sèvis a yo tou ak bagay materyèl.
28 This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;
Konsa, lè m fin fè sa, e mete so mwen sou fwi sa ki sòti nan yo menm nan, m ap pase bò kote nou nan wout pou m ale Espagne la.
29 and I have known that coming to you—in the fullness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I will come.
Mwen konnen ke lè m vin kote nou, m ap vini byen ranpli avèk benediksyon a Kris la.
30 And I call on you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me to God,
Koulye a mwen ankouraje nou, frè m yo, pa Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri e pa lanmou Lespri a, pou fè tout efò ansanm avèk mwen nan lapriyè a Bondye pou mwen menm
31 that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministry, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the holy ones;
pou mwen kapab delivre anba sila yo nan Juda ki dezobeyisan, e pou sèvis mwen pou Jérusalem kapab akseptab devan fidèl yo,
32 that in joy I may come to you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,
pou mwen kapab vini a nou menm nan lajwa pa volonte Bondye e pou m twouve yon repo rafrechisan an konpayi de nou menm.
33 and the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.
Pou koulye a ke Bondye lapè a kapab avèk nou tout. Amen.
