Ròm 8
1 Koulye a, nanpwen okenn kondannasyon pou moun ki fè yon sèl kò ak Jezikri.
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.
2 Lalwa Sentespri a ap fè nou viv ansanm ak Jezikri, li delivre nou anba lalwa peche a ansanm ak anba lanmò.
For the law of the Spirit of life has made thee free from the law of sin and of death.
3 Bagay lalwa Moyiz la pa t' kapab fè, paske kò lèzòm te rann li san fòs, se Bondye menm ki fè l': Bondye kondannen peche ki nan kò lèzòm lan, lè l' voye pwòp Pitit pa l' nan yon kò ki menm kò ak kò peche a, pou l' te ka fini nèt ak peche a.
For there was an impotency of the law, in which it was weak through depravity, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of the sin of depravity and for sin, condemned sin in depravity:
4 Bondye te fè sa pou nou pa t' viv dapre sa moun jwenn nan kò yo, men dapre Lespri Bondye a, pou n' te ka satisfè tout egzijans lalwa a.
in order that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to depravity, but according to the spirit.
5 Moun k'ap viv dapre sa lèzòm jwenn nan kò yo, se yon sèl bagay ki nan tèt yo: se egzijans kò a. Men, moun k'ap viv dapre Lespri Bondye a, se yon sèl bagay ki man tèt yo: se egzijans Lespri a.
For those being in harmony with depravity, do mind the things of depravity, and those in harmony with the Spirit, the things of the Spirit:
6 Lè ou kite egzijans kò a pran tèt ou, se mouri w'ap mouri. Men, lè ou kite egzijans Lespri a pran tèt ou, se viv w'ap viv ak kè poze.
for the mind of depravity is death: and the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.
7 Poukisa? Paske, lè egzijans kò a fin pran tèt yon moun, li pa vle wè Bondye ankò, li p'ap soumèt devan lalwa Bondye a, li p'ap ka soumèt menm.
Therefore the mind of depravity is enmity toward God: for it is not subordinated to the law of God, for it is not able so to be.
8 Moun ki soumèt devan egzijans kò yo pa kapab fè Bondye plezi.
But those being in depravity are not able to please God.
9 Pou nou menm, nou p'ap viv dapre egzijans kò nou ankò, men dapre egzijans Lespri Bondye a, paske Lespri Bondye a nan nou. Si yon moun pa gen Lespri Kris la nan li, li pa pou Kris la.
But ye are not in depravity, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any one has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.
10 Men, si Kris la ap viv nan ou, kò ou te mèt mouri akòz peche a, Lespri Bondye a ap ba ou lavi, paske ou jwenn gras devan Bondye.
But if Christ is in you, the body is dead so far as sin is concerned; but the Spirit is life so far as righteousness is concerned.
11 Si Lespri Bondye ki te fè Jezikri leve soti vivan nan lanmò a rete nan nou, li menm ki te fè Jezikri leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, li va bay kò nou yo ki la pou mouri a lavi tou, pa pouvwa Lespri li a ki rete nan nou.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one having raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also create life in your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who dwells in you.
12 Se konsa, frè m' yo, nou gen yon dèt. Men, se pa kò a nou dwe. Se poutèt sa, nou pa dwe viv dapre egzijans kò a.
Then therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to depravity, to live according to depravity.
13 Si n'ap viv dapre egzijans kò a, n'a mouri. Men, si okontrè, pa pouvwa Lespri Bondye n'ap swiv la, nou fè egzijans kò a mouri, n'a viv.
For if you live according to depravity, you are about to die: but if through the Spirit you kill the practices of the body, you shall live.
14 Paske, tout moun Lespri Bondye a ap dirije, se pitit Bondye yo ye.
For so many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.
15 Lespri Bondye ban nou an, se pa yon lespri k'ap fè nou esklav pou n'ap tranble devan Bondye toujou. Okontrè, Lespri Bondye a fè nou tounen pitit Bondye. Se li menm ki penmèt nou rele Bondye Papa.
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but you received the Spirit of adoption, in which we cry; Father, Father.
16 Lespri Bondye a bay lespri pa nou an lasirans se pitit Bondye nou ye.
The Spirit Himself witnesses along with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
17 Si se pitit Bondye nou ye, nou gen pòsyon pa nou nan eritaj Bondye te pwomèt moun pa l' yo, n'a resevwa pa nou ansanm ak Kris la nan tou sa Bondye te sere pou li. Paske, si nou soufri ansanm ak li, n'a resevwa lwanj nan men Bondye ansanm ak li tou.
And if children, indeed heirs; truly heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if we suffer together, in order that we may also be glorified together.
18 Pou mwen, nou pa ka konpare sa n'ap soufri koulye a ak bèl bagay Bondye pral fè nou wè yo.
For I reckon that the sufferings of these present times are not worthy to be compared to the glory which is about to be revealed in us.
19 Tout kreyasyon Bondye a ap tann konsa kilè pitit Bondye yo va parèt.
For the earnest expectation of the creature awaits the revelation of the sons of God.
20 Paske, tout kreyasyon an te tonbe pa fòs anba pouvwa bagay ki pa vo anyen an. Se pa paske li te vle l', men se akòz moun ki te vle l' konsa a. Men, li te toujou gen espwa,
For the creature has been subordinated to mortality, not willingly, but through Him who subordinated it;
21 yon lè la delivre anba esklavaj pouvwa k'ap gate l' la, pou l' ka jwi bèl libète pitit Bondye yo.
therefore indeed pursuant to hope, the creature itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22 Wi, nou konn sa: jouk jòdi a, tout kreyasyon an ap plenn, l'ap soufri tankou yon fanm ki gen doulè tranche.
For we know that all creation groans together and travails together until now;
23 Epi se pa li menm sèlman. Nou menm tou ki resevwa Sentespri Bondye a tankou premye kado Bondye fè nou, n'ap pouse gwo soupi nan kè nou pandan n'ap tann Bondye fin fè nou tounen pitit li nèt, fin delivre kò nou yo.
and not only so, but we ourselves, having the earnest of the Spirit, and we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of sons, the redemption of our body.
24 Paske, Bondye delivre nou, men nou menm n'ap tann toujou. Si nou wè sa n'ap tann lan, nou pa nan tann ankò. Ki moun k'ap rete tann sa li wè deja?
For we are saved by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for why does any one indeed hope for that which he sees?
25 Men, si n'ap tann sa nou pa wè, n'ap tann li avèk pasyans.
But if we hope for that which we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
26 Se konsa tou, Lespri Bondye a vin ede nou, atout nou fèb la, paske nou pa konnen kisa pou n' mande lè n'ap lapriyè, ni ki jan pou nou lapriyè. Men, se Lespri Bondye a menm k'ap lapriyè Bondye pou nou. L'ap pouse gwo soupi moun pa ka esplike.
And likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as it behooves us: but the Spirit himself makes intercession with unutterable groanings:
27 Bondye menm ki konnen sa ki nan kè tout moun, li konnen kisa Lespri li a vle mande, paske sa Bondye vle a se sa Lespri li a ap mande pou tout moun k'ap viv pou Bondye.
but he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession towards God in behalf of the saints.
28 Tansèlman, nou konn sa byen: nan tout bagay, Bondye ap travay pou byen tout moun ki renmen l', pou byen tout moun li te fè lide rele.
But we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose.
29 Paske, moun Bondye te konnen depi davans pou moun pa l' yo, depi davans tou li te mete yo apa pou yo te kab sanble ak Pitit li a. Konsa, Pitit sa a pase pou premye pitit nan yon bann frè.
Because whom he did foreknow, he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
30 Se konsa, Bondye rele tout moun li te mete apa depi davans yo, li fè yo gras epi moun li fè gras yo, li ba yo lwanj tou.
and whom He did foreknow, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them He also glorified.
31 Kisa n'a di ankò sou pwen sa a? Si Bondye pou nou, kilès ki ka kont nou?
Then what shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 Li pa t' menm refize nou pwòp Pitit li a, men li bay li pou nou tout. Ki jan pou l' pa ta ban nou tout bagay avèk Pitit la tou pou gremesi?
Indeed he who spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not with him, freely give us all things?
33 Ki moun ki va akize moun Bondye chwazi yo? Pesonn. Paske se Bondye menm ki fè yo gras!
Who will lay anything to the charge of God's elect?
34 Ki moun ki kab kondannen yo? Pesonn. Paske Jezikri te mouri. Sak pi rèd ankò, li leve soti vivan nan lanmò, epi li chita sou bò dwat Bondye, kote l'ap plede pou nou.
It is God who justifies: who is he that condemns? It is Christ who died, and rather who is risen, who is on the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding in our behalf.
35 Kisa, atò, ki va fè nou pèdi renmen Kris la gen pou nou an? Soufrans ka fè nou sa? Osinon, kè sere? Osinon, pèsekisyon? Osinon, grangou, mizè, gwo danje, lanmò? Dapre sa ki ekri nan Liv la:
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 Se poutèt ou, tout moun yo soti pou touye nou. Yo gade nou tankou mouton y'ap mennen labatwa.
As has been written, that We are killed all day for thy sake; we are counted as sheep of the slaughter.
37 Men, sou tout bagay sa yo, nou genyen batay la nèt ale, gremesi moun ki renmen nou an.
But in all these we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 Paske, mwen gen lasirans anyen pa ka fè nou pèdi renmen Kris la gen pou nou: ni lanmò, ni lavi, ni zanj Bondye yo, ni lòt otorite ak pouvwa ki nan syèl la, ni bagay ki la jòdi a, ni sa ki gen pou vini pita,
For I am persuaded that, neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 ni pouvwa ki anwo nan syèl la, ni pouvwa ki anba tè a. Non. Pa gen anyen nan tout kreyasyon Bondye a ki ka janm fè nou pèdi renmen Bondye fè nou wè nan Jezikri, Seyè nou an.
nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
