Ròm 1
1 Se mwen menm Pòl, sèvitè Jezikri, yon nonm Bondye rele pou sèvi li apòt, yon nonm li mete apa pou anonse bon nouvèl li a, k'ap ekri nou tout kretyen ki nan lavil Wòm.
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2 Depi lontan Bondye te pwomèt bon nouvèl sa a pa bouch pwofèt li yo, nan Liv Sentespri te fè yo ekri a.
Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,
3 Bon Nouvèl sa a pale nou sou Pitit li a, Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Lè pou l' te fèt tankou yon moun, Jezi soti nan fanmi wa David.
Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David, according to the flesh,
4 Men, dapre Sentespri ki fè nou viv pou Bondye, li te fè nou wè avèk pouvwa se Pitit Bondye a li ye, lè l' te leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead;
5 Gremesi Jezikri sa a, Bondye fè m' favè pou m' travay tankou apòt, pou m' mennen moun tout nasyon, nan non menm Kris la, pou yo vin kwè nan li, pou yo obeyi li.
By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name;
6 Nou menm kretyen ki nan lavil Wòm, nou fè pati nasyon sa yo tou: Bondye rele nou pou n' antre nan fanmi Jezikri a.
Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:
7 Se sak fè m'ap ekri nou, nou menm Bondye renmen anpil, nou menm Bondye rele pou viv apa pou li. Mwen mande Bondye, Papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.
To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Anvan m' di nou lòt bagay, kite m' di Bondye mèsi pou nou gremesi Jezikri. Paske, toupatou sou latè y'ap pale jan nou gen konfyans nan Bondye.
First I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.
9 Mwen pran Bondye pou temwen, Bondye m'ap sèvi ak tout kè mwen lè m'ap anonse bon nouvèl Pitit li a. Se toutan m'ap nonmen non nou;
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make a commemoration of you;
10 se san rete m'ap lapriyè pou nou; m'ap mande Bondye pou l' kite mwen vin vizite nou yon lè konsa, si se volonte li.
Always in my prayers making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you.
11 Se pa ti anvi mwen pa anvi wè nou pou m' separe ak nou kèk benediksyon Bondye ban mwen, pou n' kapab vin pi fèm.
For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you:
12 Mwen vle di pito, pou m' ta la nan mitan nou, pou yonn kapab ankouraje lòt ak konfyans nou gen ansanm nan menm Bondye a.
That is to say, that I may be comforted together in you, by that which is common to us both, your faith and mine.
13 Frè m' yo, mwen vle nou konn sa: plizyè fwa menm, mwen fè lide al vizite nou, pou jan mwen te anvi wè travay mwen bay bon rezilta nan mitan nou menm jan li bay bon rezilta nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Men, chak fwa mwen jwenn anpechman, jouk koulye a.
And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come unto you, (and have been hindered hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
14 Se yon devwa pou mwen pou m' anonse bon nouvèl la bay tout moun: kit yo eklere, kit yo pa eklere, kit yo konn li, kit yo pa konn li.
To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor;
15 Se poutèt sa, m' anvi vin anonse bon nouvèl la ban nou, nou menm ki rete lavil Wòm.
So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.
16 Mwen pa wont anonse bon nouvèl la: se pouvwa Bondye ki la pou delivre tout moun ki kwè, jwif yo an premye, apre yo moun lòt nasyon yo tou.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, to the Jew first, and to the Greek.
17 Bon nouvèl sa a fè nou wè ki jan Bondye fè moun gras. Travay sa a, li kòmanse ak konfyans moun gen nan Bondye, li fini nan menm konfyans la tou, jan sa te ekri a: Moun Bondye fè gras paske li gen konfyans nan Bondye, se li menm ki va gen lavi.
For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.
18 Se poutèt sa, n'ap wè kòlè Bondye soti nan syèl la, li tonbe sou tout mechanste ak tout lenjistis moun fè. Sitèlman kè yo pa bon, y'ap chache anpeche verite a fè travay li.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice:
19 Bondye ap peni yo tou paske tou sa yo ka konnen sou Bondye parèt byen klè devan je yo. Se Bondye menm ki fè sa konsa pou yo.
Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.
20 Se vre wi. Depi Bondye te fin kreye tout bagay, tout moun ki egzaminen travay li yo ka konprann ki kalite moun Bondye ye, bagay nou pa ka wè ak je nou: ki vle di, jan li gen yon pouvwa ki p'ap janm fini, jan li se Bondye tout bon. Se sak fè moun sa yo pa gen eskiz menm. (aïdios g126)
For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; his eternal power also, and divinity: so that they are inexcusable. (aïdios g126)
21 Yo te konn Bondye byen pwòp, men yo pa bay Bondye lwanj ki pou li, yo pa di l' mèsi jan l' merite l' la. Lekontrè, y'ap mete yon bann lide ki pa gen sans nan tèt yo, yo san konprann, fènwa fin plen kè yo.
Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Y'ap mache di se moun lespri yo ye. Men, se fou yo fin fou.
For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
23 Pase pou yo adore Bondye ki p'ap janm mouri a ak tout bèl bagay li yo, yo pito sèvi pòtre moun ki gen pou mouri, pòtre zwazo, pòtre bèt kat pa t' ak bèt ki trennen sou vant.
And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things.
24 Lèzòm vin sitèlman fou, Bondye kite yo tonbe nan fè tout kalite bagay ki pa dakò ak volonte li dapre vye lanvi ki nan kè yo. Se yon wont pou wè sa yo fè ak pwòp kò yo.
Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.
25 Yo mete manti nan plas verite Bondye a. Yo pito adore kreyati Bondye, yo pito sèvi yo pase pou yo adore Bondye ki kreye yo a, li menm ki merite pou n' fè lwanj li tout tan. Amèn. (aiōn g165)
Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Se poutèt sa, Bondye kite yo fè sa yo pito. Men, se sa k'ap avili yo tou: fanm pa vle sèvi ak kò yo jan yo dwe; yo pito fè sa ki pa bon.
For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.
27 Se konsa tou, gason derefize sèvi ak fanm jan sa te dwe fèt. Yo pran dife yonn pou lòt: gason fè malpwòpte ak gason parèy yo. Yo pèdi tèt yo nèt. Men tou, yo resevwa nan kò yo penisyon yo merite a.
And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.
28 Yo refize bay Bondye premye plas nan kè yo. Bondye tou kite yo tonbe anba pouvwa lespri yo ki fin deraye pou yo fè bagay yo pa t' dwe fè.
And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Men sèl lide ki nan tèt yo: se fè tout kalite lenjistis, tout kalite mechanste, se anvi sò moun, se fè rayisab. Se sa sèlman ki nan kè yo: fè jalouzi, touye moun, chache moun kont, fè riz, fè koken. Yo tripòt konsa.
Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers,
30 Yonn pale lòt mal. Yo pa vle wè Bondye, yo ensolan, yo awogan, yo grandizè. Yo toujou ap chache lòt jan pou fè sa ki mal, yo fwonte ak paran yo.
Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Yo san konsyans, yo pa kenbe pawòl yo. Kè yo di konsa, yo san pitye pou lòt moun.
Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
32 Yo konn jijman Bondye a byen pwòp: yo konnen moun ki fè bagay sa yo merite lanmò. Atousa, y'ap plede fè yo toujou. Sa ki pi rèd, yo dakò ak moun k'ap fè yo tou.
Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.
