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, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news 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 announced before through His prophets in holy writings,
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 has come 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 is marked out [as the] Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection from the dead—Jesus Christ our Lord;
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.
through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of 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 also you, 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 who are in Rome, beloved of God, called holy ones: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and 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, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed 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 good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention 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 imploring, if by any means now at length I will have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come to 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 to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established;
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.
and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through faith in one another, both yours 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 do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that many times I purposed to come to you—and was hindered until the present time—that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations.
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.
Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, 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 in me is, I am ready also to you who [are] in Rome to proclaim good news,
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 good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone who is believing, both to Jew first, and to 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 righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it has been written: “And the righteous one will live 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 on all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness.
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 revealed among them, for God revealed [it] to 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, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead—to their being 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, having known God they did not glorify [Him] as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened,
22 Y'ap mache di se moun lespri yo ye. Men, se fou yo fin fou.
professing to be wise, they were made 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 changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.
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.
For this reason also God gave them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonor their 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 the lie, and honored and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for all ages. 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.
Because of this God gave them up to dishonorable affections, for even their females changed the natural use into that 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 also the males having left the natural use of the female, burned in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the repayment of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving.
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 according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;
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.
having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; 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.
evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, 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.
unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;
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 the righteous judgment of God having known—that those practicing such things are worthy of death—not only do them, but also have delight with those practicing them.
