< Romans 5 >
1 Standing then acquitted as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Koulye a, paske nou gen konfyans nan Bondye, Bondye fè nou gras, n'ap viv san kè sote ak Bondye, gremesi Jezikri, Seyè nou an.
2 through whom also, as the result of faith, we have obtained an introduction into that state of favour with God in which we stand, and we exult in hope of some day sharing in God's glory.
Paske nou gen konfyans nan li, Jezi fè nou antre nan favè Bondye. Epi n'ap kenbe fèm kote nou kanpe a. Nou pa manke kontan paske nou gen espwa resevwa pa nou nan pouvwa Bondye a ansanm avèk li.
3 And not only so: we also exult in our sufferings, knowing as we do, that suffering produces fortitude;
Nou pa manke kontan menm lè n'ap soufri.
4 fortitude, ripeness of character; and ripeness of character, hope;
Poukisa? Paske nou konnen lè n'ap soufri sa fè nou gen pasyans. Lè nou gen pasyans konsa, sa ban nou kouraj pou nou soufri. Plis nou gen kouraj, se plis nou gen espwa.
5 and that this hope never disappoints, because God's love for us floods our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Espwa sa a p'ap janm twonpe nou, paske Bondye te fè nou wè jan l' renmen nou lè li ban nou Sentespri li.
6 For already, while we were still helpless, Christ at the right moment died for the ungodly.
Se konsa, lè nou pa t' kapab fè anyen pou tèt pa nou, Kris la mouri pou tout moun ki meprize Bondye, nan tan Bondye te fikse pou sa te rive a.
7 Why, it is scarcely conceivable that any one would die for a simply just man, although for a good and lovable man perhaps some one, here and there, will have the courage even to lay down his life.
Se pa fasil pou ou jwenn yon moun asepte mouri pou yon nonm ki gen rezon. Ou ta ka jwenn yonn konsa ki ta gen kouraj mouri pou yon nonm debyen.
8 But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners.
Sou pwen sa a, Bondye moutre nou jan li renmen nou anpil; paske nou t'ap fè peche toujou lè Kris la mouri pou nou.
9 If therefore we have now been pronounced free from guilt through His blood, much more shall we be delivered from God's anger through Him.
Se paske li bay san li pou nou kifè koulye a Bondye fè nou gras. Nou pa bezwen mande si Kris la p'ap delivre nou tou anba kòlè Bondye.
10 For if while we were hostile to God we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, it is still more certain that now that we are reconciled, we shall obtain salvation through Christ's life.
Nou te lènmi ak Bondye lè Pitit Bondye a mouri pou l' te fè nou byen ak Bondye ankò. Koulye a nou se zanmi Bondye, nou pa bezwen mande si lavi Pitit Bondye a p'ap delivre nou.
11 And not only so, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained that reconciliation.
Epi se pa sa sèlman. Nou jwenn tout plezi nou nan Bondye, gremesi Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ki fè nou byen ak Bondye ankò depi koulye a.
12 What follows? This comparison. Through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and so death passed to all mankind in turn, in that all sinned.
Se poutèt yon sèl moun peche antre sou latè. Peche a louvri pòt pou lanmò. Se konsa lanmò vin pou tout moun, paske tout moun fè peche.
13 For prior to the Law sin was already in the world; only it is not entered in the account against us when no Law exists.
Peche te deja sou latè lontan anvan Lalwa Moyiz la. Men, paske pa t' gen lalwa, Bondye te fèmen je l' sou peche.
14 Yet Death reigned as king from Adam to Moses even over those who had not sinned, as Adam did, against Law. And in Adam we have a type of Him whose coming was still future.
Men, soti nan tan Adan rive nan tan Moyiz, lanmò te donminen sou tout moun, malgre yo pa t' fè peche tankou Adan ki te dezobeyi Bondye. Adan, se te pòtre moun ki te gen pou vini an.
15 But God's free gift immeasurably outweighs the transgression. For if through the transgression of the one individual the mass of mankind have died, infinitely greater is the generosity with which God's grace, and the gift given in His grace which found expression in the one man Jesus Christ, have been bestowed on the mass of mankind.
Men, peche Adan an pa menm bagay ak kado Bondye bay pou gremesi a. Se fòt yon sèl moun ki lakòz yon bann lòt moun mouri. Men, favè Bondye a gen plis pouvwa toujou. Gremesi yon sèl moun, Jezikri, Bondye bay anpil moun yon kado ki pi gwo toujou.
16 And it is not with the gift as it was with the results of one individual's sin; for the judgement which one individual provoked resulted in condemnation, whereas the free gift after a multitude of transgressions results in acquittal.
Gen yon lòt diferans ankò ant kado Bondye a ak konsekans peche Adan an. Apre yon sèl moun te fin peche, lè yo jije moun, yo tout tonbe anba kondannasyon. Men, apre tout kantite peche moun fè, Bondye fè yo yon favè, li fè yo gras.
17 For if, through the transgression of the one individual, Death made use of the one individual to seize the sovereignty, all the more shall those who receive God's overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in Life through the one individual, Jesus Christ.
Se vre wi. Poutèt peche yon sèl moun, lanmò te donminen akòz li menm sèlman. Men, gremesi yon sèl moun tou, Jezikri, nou jwenn plis toujou: tout moun ki resevwa favè Bondye a an kantite, tout moun ki resevwa kado Bondye a lè li fè yo gras, yo gen pou yo viv, pou yo donminen akòz Kris la.
18 It follows then that just as the result of a single transgression is a condemnation which extends to the whole race, so also the result of a single decree of righteousness is a life-giving acquittal which extends to the whole race.
Se sak fè menm jan fòt yon sèl moun lakòz tout moun kondannen, konsa tou gremesi yon sèl moun ki mache dwat devan Bondye, tout moun delivre anba jijman kondannasyon, yo jwenn lavi.
19 For as through the disobedience of the one individual the mass of mankind were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the mass of mankind will be constituted righteous.
Si dezobeyisans yon sèl moun lakòz yon foul moun fè peche, konsa tou obeyisans yon sèl moun lakòz Bondye va fè anpil moun gras.
20 Now Law was brought in later on, so that transgression might increase. But where sin increased, grace has overflowed;
Lalwa antre nan koze a pou fè moun peche plis toujou. Men, kote moun fè plis peche a, se la favè Bondye a vide pi rèd sou yo.
21 in order that as sin has exercised kingly sway in inflicting death, so grace, too, may exercise kingly sway in bestowing a righteousness which results in the Life of the Ages through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
Se sak fè, menm jan peche a te bay lanmò lè l' te donminen sou nou, konsa tou lè se favè Bondye a ki donminen sou nou, li fè moun gras, li ba yo lavi ki pa janm fini an, gremesi Jezikri, Seyè nou an. (aiōnios )
