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 in Christ Jesus has set you 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 what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;
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.
so that the requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh 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 who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to 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 set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on 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.
because the mind set on the flesh is hostile towards God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.
8 Moun ki soumèt devan egzijans kò yo pa kapab fè Bondye plezi.
And those who are in the flesh cannot 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 you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.
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.
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.
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, he who raised up Christ from the dead will also give life to 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.
So then, brothers, we have no obligation to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
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 after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 Paske, tout moun Lespri Bondye a ap dirije, se pitit Bondye yo ye.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are 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 to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba. Father."
16 Lespri Bondye a bay lespri pa nou an lasirans se pitit Bondye nou ye.
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are 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, then heirs; heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
18 Pou mwen, nou pa ka konpare sa n'ap soufri koulye a ak bèl bagay Bondye pral fè nou wè yo.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed to us.
19 Tout kreyasyon Bondye a ap tann konsa kilè pitit Bondye yo va parèt.
For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
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 creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope
21 yon lè la delivre anba esklavaj pouvwa k'ap gate l' la, pou l' ka jwi bèl libète pitit Bondye yo.
that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom 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 the whole creation groans and suffers with labor pains 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 this, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, 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 were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes 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 in the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we do not know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with inexpressible 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.
And he who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints in accordance with God.
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.
And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who 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.
For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
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.
Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.
31 Kisa n'a di ankò sou pwen sa a? Si Bondye pou nou, kilès ki ka kont nou?
What then are we to say about 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?
He who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also 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 could bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies.
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.
Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and more than that, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
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 will separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
36 Se poutèt ou, tout moun yo soti pou touye nou. Yo gade nou tankou mouton y'ap mennen labatwa.
Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."
37 Men, sou tout bagay sa yo, nou genyen batay la nèt ale, gremesi moun ki renmen nou an.
No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who 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 rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
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 height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
