Romans 3
1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
Nan kondisyon sa a, lè yon moun jwif, ki avantaj ki gen nan sa? Kisa sikonsizyon an fè pou li?
2 Much in every way. Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
Tout jan, li gen anpil avantaj. Pou kòmanse, se jwif yo Bondye te mete reskonsab pawòl li yo.
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
Bon, tande non. Si gen ladan yo ki pa kenbe pawòl yo, èske poutèt sa Bondye p'ap kenbe pawòl li tou?
4 Absolutely not. Let God be found true, but every human being a liar. As it is written, "That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you judge."
O non, lekontrè. Menm si tout moun ap bay manti, Bondye gen pou fè sa ki pou fèt la rive vre. Se sa menm ki ekri nan Liv la: Se pou yo rekonèt se ou menm ki gen rezon lè w'ap pale. Se ou menm ki pou gen pwose a lè y'ap jije ou.
5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? (I am speaking in human terms).
Men, si lè nou fè sa ki mal, sa fè moun wè pi klè se Bondye ki gen rezon, kisa n'a di lè sa a? Eske poutèt sa lè Bondye peni nou li gen tò? (Eskize m' wi, m'ap pale tankou moun.)
6 Absolutely not. For then how will God judge the world?
Men non! Si lè sa a Bondye pa gen rezon, ki jan Bondye va fè pou jije moun?
7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Bon, si lè m' bay manti, sa fè verite Bondye a parèt pi klè, si sa sèvi yon lwanj pou Bondye, poukisa pou l' ta jije m' tankou yon moun ki fè sa ki mal?
8 And why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, that good may come?" Their condemnation is just.
Poukisa nou pa di pito: Ann fè sa ki mal pou Bondye ka fè plis byen toujou! Gen kèk malpalan ki pretann se sa mwen di. Enben, Bondye ap kondannen moun sa yo, epi la gen rezon.
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
Men, sa sa ye menm? Nou menm jwif, èske nou pi bon pase moun lòt nasyon yo? Non, se pa vre menm. Mwen deja moutre nou sa: tout moun, ou te mèt jwif, ou te mèt pa jwif, tout moun anba pouvwa peche a.
10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one."
Jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Nanpwen moun ki gen rezon devan Bondye. Non, pa menm yon grenn.
11 "There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
Yo yonn pa gen konprann. Yo yonn p'ap chache Bondye.
12 They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, there is not even one."
Yo tout lage kò yo nan bwa, yo tout pèdi chemen yo. Nanpwen yonn ladan yo k'ap fè sa ki byen. Non, pa menm yon sèl.
13 "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit." "Viper's poison is under their lips;"
Bouch yo ou ta di yon kavo ki louvri. Se twonpe y'ap twonpe moun ase ak lang yo. Pawòl nan bouch yo se pwazon, ou ta di venen sèpan aspik.
14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."
Bouch yo plen madichon ak jouman.
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood.
Ti krik ti krak, se fè san koule.
16 Destruction and calamity are in their paths.
Kote yo pase se dega, se malè yo kite dèyè.
17 The way of peace, they have not known."
Yo pa konn ki jan pou yo viv byen ak moun.
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
Yo mete nan tèt yo pa gen rezon pou gen krentif Bondye.
19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
Nou konnen egzijans lalwa se pou moun ki anba lalwa. Konsa, pa gen eskiz ki pou soti nan bouch pesonn: tout moun antò devan Bondye.
20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Se pa paske yon moun fè sa lalwa a mande kifè li inonsan devan Bondye. Poukisa? Paske lalwa annik fè nou konnen sa nou fè a pa bon.
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the Law and the Prophets;
Men koulye a, Bondye fè nou wè ki jan li fè moun gras. Lalwa pa gen anyen pou wè nan sa. Se sa liv lalwa a ansanm ak liv pwofèt yo di nou tou.
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no distinction,
Se lè moun mete konfyans yo nan Jezikri Bondye fè yo gras. Li fè l' pou tout moun ki kwè nan Kris la, paske yo tout se menm.
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
Tout moun fè peche; yo tout vire do bay Bondye ki gen pouvwa a.
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;
Men Bondye ki renmen yo, li fè yo gras. Li fè sa pou yo gratis, gremesi Jezikri ki vin delivre yo.
25 whom God displayed publicly as a mercy seat, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because in God's forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;
Se li menm, Jezikri, Bondye te ofri tankou bèt pou touye. Li bay san li pou tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li ka resevwa padon pou peche yo. Bondye te vle moutre nou ki jan li fè moun gras. Nan tan lontan, Bondye te pran pasyans, li te fèmen je l' sou peche moun te fè.
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, so that he would be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
Men koulye a, li moutre nou ki jan l'ap fè moun gras, paske li fè nou wè se li menm ki gen rezon, an menm tan l'ap fè tout moun ki kwè nan Jezi yo gras.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
Bon. Nan kondisyon sa a, ki rezon moun genyen pou y'ap fè grandizè ankò? Pa genyen menm. Poukisa? Eske se paske yo fè sa lalwa mande? Non. Men, paske yo fè Bondye konfyans.
28 For we maintain that one is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Nou kenbe sa nou di a: se paske yon moun gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè Bondye fè l' gras, se pa paske li fè sa lalwa mande.
29 Or is God for Jews only? Is he not the God of the non-Jews also? Yes, of the non-Jews also,
Eske Bondye se Bondye jwif yo sèlman? Eske li pa Bondye moun lòt nasyon yo tou? Men wi, li se Bondye moun lòt nasyon yo tou.
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.
Paske se yon sèl Bondye a ki genyen. L'ap fè moun ki sikonsi yo gras paske yo gen konfyans nan li. Konsa tou, l'ap fè moun ki pa sikonsi yo gras paske yo menm tou yo gen konfyans nan li.
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not. No, we establish the law.
Bon. Jan nou pale a, èske konfyans nan Bondye fè lalwa a pèdi valè li? Men non, okontrè, nou kanpe lalwa a pi rèd.
