< Ròm 5 >

1 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.
Therefore, having been pronounced righteous as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
2 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.
It is through him that, by reason of our faith, we have obtained admission to that place in God’s favor in which we now stand. So let us exult in our hope of attaining God’s glorious ideal.
3 Nou pa manke kontan menm lè n'ap soufri.
And not only that, but let us also exult in our troubles;
4 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.
for we know that trouble develops endurance, and endurance strength of character, and strength of character hope,
5 Espwa sa a p'ap janm twonpe nou, paske Bondye te fè nou wè jan l' renmen nou lè li ban nou Sentespri li.
and that hope never disappoints. For the love of God has filled our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given us;
6 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.
seeing that, while we were still powerless, Christ, in God’s good time, died on behalf of the godless.
7 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.
Even for an upright person scarcely anyone will die. For a really good person perhaps someone might even dare to die.
8 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.
But God puts his love for us beyond all doubt by the fact that Christ died on our behalf while we were still sinners.
9 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.
Much more, then, now that we have been pronounced righteous by virtue of the shedding of his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God.
10 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.
For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, much more, now that we have become reconciled, will we be saved by virtue of Christ’s life.
11 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.
And not only that, but we exult in God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, through whom we have now obtained this reconciliation.
12 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.
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and through sin came death; so, also, death spread to all humanity, because every person has sinned.
13 Peche te deja sou latè lontan anvan Lalwa Moyiz la. Men, paske pa t' gen lalwa, Bondye te fèmen je l' sou peche.
Even before the time of the Law there was sin in the world; but sin cannot be charged against someone where no Law exists.
14 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.
Yet, from Adam to Moses, death reigned even over those whose sin was not a breach of a law, as Adam’s was. And Adam foreshadows the one to come.
15 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.
But there is a contrast between Adam’s offense and God’s gracious gift. For, if by reason of the offense of the one man the whole human race died, far more were the loving kindness of God, and the gift given in the loving kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ, lavished on the whole human race.
16 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.
There is a contrast, too, between the gift and the results of the one man’s sin. The judgment, which followed on the one man’s sin, resulted in condemnation, but God’s gracious gift, which followed on many offenses, resulted in a decree of righteousness.
17 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.
For if, by reason of the offense of the one man, death reigned through that one man, far more will those, on whom God’s loving kindness and his gift of righteousness are lavished, find life, and reign through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18 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.
Briefly then, just as a single offense resulted for all humanity in condemnation, so, too, a single decree of righteousness resulted for all humanity in that declaration of righteousness which brings life.
19 Si dezobeyisans yon sèl moun lakòz yon foul moun fè peche, konsa tou obeyisans yon sèl moun lakòz Bondye va fè anpil moun gras.
For, as through the disobedience of the one man the whole human race was rendered sinful, so, too, through the obedience of the one, the whole human race will be rendered righteous.
20 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.
Law was introduced in order that offenses might be multiplied. But, where sins were multiplied, the loving kindness of God was lavished the more,
21 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 g166)
in order that, just as sin had reigned in the realm of death, so, too, might loving-kindness reign through righteousness, and result in eternal life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
