Romans 11
1 I ask then, has God rejected his people? Absolutely not. For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Koulye a, m'ap mande: Eske Bondye te voye pèp li a jete? Men non. Paske mwen menm, mwen se yon moun pèp Izrayèl, yon pitit pitit Abraram. Mwen soti nan branch fanmi Benjamen.
2 God did not reject his people, which he foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
Non, Bondye pa voye pèp li te chwazi davans lan jete. Eske ou pa chonje sa ki ekri nan Liv la, kote y'ap rakonte ki jan Eli t'ap pote plent bay Bondye pou pèp Izrayèl la:
3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
Bondye, yo touye pwofèt yo, yo kraze lotèl ou yo; se mwen menm sèl ki rete. Men y'ap chache wete lavi m' tou?
4 But how does God answer him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand people, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
Men repons Bondye te ba li: Mwen gen sètmilòm (7.000) pou mwen ki pa janm mete jenou yo atè devan Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Konsa tou, koulye a, gen yon ti rès Bondye te chwazi nan pèp la, se yon favè li te fè yo.
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.
Se pa paske yo te fè sa ki byen kifè Bondye te fè yo fave sa a; men se paske Bondye te vle fè l' pou yo. Si se pa t' konsa, favè Bondye a pa ta yon favè tout bon ankò.
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he did not obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
Bon. Kisa n'a di koulye a? Sa pèp Izrayèl la t'ap chache a, li pa t' jwenn li. Men, moun Bondye te chwazi yo, se yo ase ki jwenn li. Kanta pou lòt yo, yo vin gen tèt di,
8 According as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.
dapre jan sa te ekri nan Liv la: Bondye te rann lespri yo lou, yo gen je, men yo pa ka wè; yo gen zòrèy, men yo pa ka tande jouk jòdi a.
9 David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
David, bò pa l', di tou: Se pou resepsyon y'ap fè yo tounen yon senn, yon pèlen pou yo, pou yo menm yo pran ladan l', pou yo resevwa chatiman yo.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see, and their backs be bent continually."
Se pou je yo bouche pou yo pa wè menm. Fè yo mache do ba tout tan.
11 I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? Absolutely not. But by their fall salvation has come to the non-Jews, to provoke them to jealousy.
Koulye a, m'ap mande: Lè jwif yo bite, èske yo te tonbe nèt. Men non. Men, lè yo tonbe a, sa penmèt moun lòt nasyon yo rive delivre. Se konsa yo tounen yon jalouzi pou jwif yo.
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the non-Jews; how much more their fullness?
Fòt jwif yo fè a tounen yon richès pou tout moun. Tonbe yo tonbe a, sa vin yon gwo benediksyon pou moun lòt nasyon yo. Nou pa bezwen mande ki gwo benediksyon sa va ye lè tout jwif yo va delivre!
13 For I speak to you who are the non-Jews. Since then as I am an apostle to the non-Jews, I glorify my ministry;
Koulye a, nou menm moun lòt nasyon yo, mwen gen sa pou m' di nou: Se apòt nou mwen ye, se vre. Mwen kontan anpil travay m'ap fè a.
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
Men, mwen kwè konsa m'a rive eksite jalouzi moun ras mwen yo, pou m' ka delivre kèk nan yo.
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
Wi. Si lè Bondye te mete jwif yo sou kote, sa te penmèt tout moun sou latè rive vin byen ak Bondye ankò, nou pa bezwen mande kisak va rive lè jwif yo va tounen vin jwenn favè Bondye? Se va lavi pou tout moun ki te mouri yo!
16 If the first part is holy, so is the whole batch. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
Lè yo ofri premye moso pen an bay Bondye, tout rès pen an vin pou li tou. Si yo ofri rasin yon pyebwa bay Bondye, tout branch li yo vin pou li tou.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree;
Pèp Izrayèl la tankou yon pye oliv kay. Yo koupe kèk branch soti ladan li. Ou menm ki pa jwif la, ou tankou yon branch pye oliv mawon yo grefe nan plas branch yo koupe yo. Kifè koulye a, se ou menm k'ap pwofite lèt rasin k'ap nouri pye oliv kay la.
18 do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
Se poutèt sa, pa gonfle kò ou sou branch ki koupe yo. Ki jan ou kapab ap fè grandizè? Pa bliye, se yon senp branch ou ye. Se pa ou k'ap pote rasin lan. Men, se rasin lan k'ap pote ou pito.
19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
Lè sa a wa di m': Wi. Men, yo te koupe branch yo pou yo te kapab grefe m' nan plas yo?
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;
Wi. Se vre sa. Men, yo te koupe yo paske yo pa t' gen konfyans nan Bondye; ou menm ou kenbe paske ou gen konfyans nan Bondye. Pa kite lògèy pran tèt ou. Okontrè, se pou ou gen krentif anpil nan kè ou.
21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
Paske, si jwif yo ki branch pyebwa a menm Bondye pa te al dousman ak yo, se pa avè ou la pral dousman.
22 See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
Sa fè nou wè ki jan Bondye gen bon kè, ki jan li sevè tou. Li sevè pou moun ki tonbe yo, men li bon pou ou menm. Men, se pou ou rete fèm nan renmen Bondye. Si se pa sa, ou menm tou y'a koupe ou tankou lòt branch yo.
23 They also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Konsa tou, si jwif yo pa pèsiste nan movèz fwa yo, si yo rive gen konfyans, y'ap grefe yo tou kote yo te ye anvan an paske Bondye gen pouvwa grefe yo ankò.
24 For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Ou menm ki pa jwif, ou se yon branch pye oliv mawon yo koupe. Atout ou mawon an, yo grefe ou sou pye oliv kay la. Men jwif yo menm, se branch pye oliv kay la menm yo ye. L'ap pi fasil toujou pou grefe yo ankò sou pyebwa pa yo a.
25 For I do not desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the non-Jews has come in,
Frè m' yo, mwen vle fè nou konnen sekrè sa a ki vre tout bon, konsa nou p'ap mete nan tèt nou nou gen pi bon konprann pase sa. Men sekrè a: Yon pati nan pèp Izrayèl la rive gen tèt di. Men, se pa pou tout tan. Se va pou jouk tan tout moun lòt nasyon yo va fin delivre.
26 and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer; he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Se konsa tout pèp Izrayèl la va delivre, dapre sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Moun k'ap wete lèzòm anba esklavaj la, se nan Siyon l'ap soti. L'ap wete tout mechanste pitit pitit Jakòb yo, voye jete byen lwen.
27 This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins."
Men kontra m' pral pase avèk yo lè m'a wete tout peche yo.
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are loved for the fathers' sake.
Jwif yo tounen lènmi Bondye paske yo derefize asepte Bon Nouvèl la. Men, se te pou byen nou, nou menm moun lòt nasyon yo. Men, Bondye toujou renmen yo poutèt zansèt yo, paske se Bondye menm ki te chwazi yo.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Sa Bondye fè kado, li bay li nèt; li p'ap chanje lide lè l' fin rele yon moun.
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Nan tan lontan, nou menm moun lòt nasyon yo, nou t'ap dezobeyi Bondye. Men, koulye a nou vin konnen ki jan Bondye gen pitye pou nou paske jwif yo dezobeyi li.
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may now also obtain mercy.
Konsa tou, koulye a jwif yo ap dezobeyi Bondye, paske nou vin konnen ki jan Bondye gen pitye pou nou. Y'ap dezobeyi pou yo menm tou yo ka vin konnen ki jan Bondye gen pitye pou yo.
Bondye mete tout moun anba menm chenn dezobeyisans lan pou l' ka gen pitye pou tout moun ansanm. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God. How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out.
O, gade jan Bondye rich non! Bon konprann li, konesans li, nou pa ka sonde yo! Sa depase nou anpil. Ki moun ki ka esplike jijman Bondye? Ki moun ki konprann lide li gen nan tèt li? Jan sa ekri nan Liv la:
34 For "Who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"
Ki moun ki konnen sa k'ap pase nan tèt Mèt la? Ki moun ki ka ba li konsèy?
35 "Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?"
Ki moun ki te janm ba li kichòy nan lide pou Bondye renmèt li sa?
