Ròm 12
1 Se sak fè, frè m' yo, jan Bondye fè nou wè li gen kè sansib pou nou an, se pou nou ofri tout kò nou ba li tankou ofrann bèt yo mete apa pou Bondye, bèt yo ofri tou vivan epi k'ap fè Bondye plezi. Se sèl jan nou dwe sèvi Bondye tout bon.
So I encourage you, my brothers and sisters, because of God's compassion for you, to dedicate your bodies as a living offering that is holy and pleasing to God. This is the logical way to worship.
2 Pa fè menm bagay ak sa moun ap fè sou latè. Men, kite Bondye chanje lavi nou nèt lè la fin chanje tout lide ki nan tèt nou. Lè sa a, n'a ka konprann sa Bondye vle, n'a konnen sa ki byen, sa ki fè l' plezi, sa ki bon nèt ale. (aiōn g165)
Don't follow the ways of this world; instead be transformed by the spiritual renewal of your mind so you can demonstrate what God's will really is—good, pleasing, and perfect. (aiōn g165)
3 Poutèt favè Bondye fè m' lan, men sa m'ap mande nou tout: Piga nou mete nan tèt nou nou plis pase sa nou ye. Okontrè, pa mete gwo lide nan tèt nou. Se pou chak moun konsidere tèt li dapre sa Bondye ba li ki pa l' nan lafwa.
Let me explain to all of you, through the grace given to me, that no one should think of themselves better than they ought to. You should think about yourselves realistically, according to the degree of trust God has shared with you.
4 Gade byen: nou gen anpil manm nan yon sèl kò, men chak manm gen sèvis pa l' apa.
Just as there are many parts to the body, but they don't all do the same thing,
5 Se konsa tou, nou anpil, men nou fè yon sèl kò ansanm ak Kris la. Nou tout nou fè yon sèl kò tou yonn ak lòt, tankou plizyè manm nan yon sèl kò.
so we are one body in Christ, even though we are many—and we all belong to one another.
6 Bondye pa bay tout moun menm don. Men, nou fèt pou nou sèvi ak kado a dapre favè Bondye fè nou an. Si yon moun resevwa don pou l' anonse mesaj ki sòti nan Bondye, se pou l' fè sa dapre lafwa li genyen an.
We each have different gifts that vary according to the grace given to us. So if it's speaking for God, then you should do so depending on how much you trust in God.
7 Si yon lòt resevwa don pou l' fè yon travay, se pou l' fè travay la. Moun ki resevwa don pou l' moutre lòt anpil bagay, se sa pou l' fè.
If it's the ministry of service then you should serve; if teaching then you should teach;
8 Moun ki resevwa don pou l' bay ankourajman, se pou li bay ankourajman. Moun k'ap bay nan sa li genyen an, se pou l' fè sa san gad dèyè. Moun k'ap dirije a, se pou l' fè sa byen. Moun k'ap moutre jan li gen kè sansib la, se pou li fè sa ak kè kontan.
if encouragement then you should encourage; if giving then you should give generously; if leadership then you should lead with commitment; if being merciful then you should do so gladly.
9 Se pou nou yonn renmen lòt ak tout kè nou. Rayi sa ki mal, men kenbe fèm nan fè sa ki byen.
Love must be genuine. Hate what is evil; hold on tightly to what is good.
10 Se pou nou yonn renmen lòt tankou frè ak frè k'ap viv ansanm ak Kris la. Nan tou sa n'ap fè, se pou nou gen respè yonn pou lòt, pa konsidere tèt nou anvan.
Be completely dedicated to each other in your love as family; value others more than yourselves.
11 Travay di, pa fè parese. Mete aktivite nan sèvis n'ap rann Mèt la.
Don't be unwilling to work hard; serve the Lord with an enthusiastic spirit.
12 Pandan n'ap tann lan, fè kè n' kontan. Se pou nou gen anpil pasyans nan mitan soufrans nou yo. Pa janm sispann lapriyè.
Remain cheerful in the hope you have, put up with the troubles that come, keep on praying.
13 Bay moun k'ap viv pou Bondye yo konkou lè nou wè yo nan bezwen. Resevwa moun ki vin lakay nou byen.
Share in providing for the needs of God's people, and welcome strangers with hospitality.
14 Mande Bondye pou l' beni moun k'ap pèsekite nou; mande benediksyon, pa mande madichon pou yo.
Bless those who persecute you—bless them, and don't curse them.
15 Fè kè n' kontan ak moun ki kontan, kriye ak moun k'ap kriye.
Be happy with those who are happy; cry with those who are crying.
16 Viv byen yonn ak lòt. Pa kite lògèy moute tèt nou. Viv tankou moun ki san pretansyon. Pa kwè nou gen pi bon konprann pase sa.
Think about one another. Don't consider yourself more important than others; live humbly. Don't be conceited.
17 Si yon moun fè nou mal, pa chache fè l' mal tou. Chache fè sa ki byen nan je tout moun.
Don't pay back anyone evil for evil. Make sure you show everybody that what you're doing is good,
18 Fè tou sa nou kapab pou nou viv byen ak tout moun mezi nou wè nou ka fè li.
and as far as it's up to you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Mezanmi, pa tire revanj. Men, kite kòlè Bondye fè travay li; paske men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Se mwen menm sèl ki gen dwa tire rèvanj, se mwen menm sèl ki va bay moun sa yo merite. Se Bondye menm ki di sa.
My dear friends, don't seek revenge, but leave it to God to execute judgment—as Scripture points out, “‘It's for me to dispense justice, I will repay,’ says the Lord.”
20 Okontrè, dapre sa ki ekri ankò: Si lènmi ou grangou, ba l' manje. Si li swaf dlo, ba l' bwè. Lè ou fè sa, se yon chalè dife ou mete nan kò l' pou fè l' chanje.
If those who hate you are hungry, give them food; if they're thirsty, give them a drink; for by doing so you pile fiery coals on their heads.
21 Pa kite sa ki mal gen pye sou ou. Okontrè, fè sa ki byen pou n' kraze sa ki mal.
Don't be defeated by evil—conquer evil with good.
