Ròm 8
1 Koulye a, nanpwen okenn kondannasyon pou moun ki fè yon sèl kò ak Jezikri.
There is therefore no condemnation, to them who, in Jesus Messiah, walk not after the flesh.
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, which is in Jesus Messiah, hath emancipated thee from the law of sin and 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.
Inasmuch as the law was impotent, by means of the weakness of the flesh, God sent his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin; that He might, in his flesh, condemn sin;
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 righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us; since it is not in the flesh that we walk, but in 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 they who are in the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh: and they who are of the Spirit, do mind 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 minding the things of the flesh, is death; but minding the things 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.
Because minding the things of the flesh, is enmity towards God: for it doth not subject itself to the law of God, because it is not possible.
8 Moun ki soumèt devan egzijans kò yo pa kapab fè Bondye plezi.
And they 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.
Ye, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit; if the Spirit of God truly dwelleth in you. And if in any one there is not the Spirit of Messiah 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 Messiah is in you, the body is dead, in regard to sin; and the Spirit is alive in regard to 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.
And if the Spirit of him, who raised our Lord Jesus Messiah from the dead, dwelleth in you; he who raised our Lord Jesus Messiah from the dead, will also vivify your dead bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth 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.
Now we are debtors, my Brethren, not to the flesh, that we should walk according to 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 ye live according to the flesh, ye are to die. But if, by the Spirit, ye mortify the practices of the body, ye will live.
14 Paske, tout moun Lespri Bondye a ap dirije, se pitit Bondye yo ye.
For they who are led by the Spirit of God, they 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 ye have not received the spirit of bondage, again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Father, our Father.
16 Lespri Bondye a bay lespri pa nou an lasirans se pitit Bondye nou ye.
And this Spirit testifieth to our spirit, that we are the sons 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 sons, then heirs; heirs of God, and participators of the inheritance of Jesus Messiah: so that, if we suffer with him, we shall 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 reckon, that the sufferings of the present time, are not comparable with the glory which is to be developed in us.
19 Tout kreyasyon Bondye a ap tann konsa kilè pitit Bondye yo va parèt.
For the whole creation is hoping and waiting for the development 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 creation was subjected to vanity, not by its own choice, but because of him who subjected it,
21 yon lè la delivre anba esklavaj pouvwa k'ap gate l' la, pou l' ka jwi bèl libète pitit Bondye yo.
in the hope, that also the creation itself would be emancipated from the bondage of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the sons 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 the creatures are groaning and travailing in pain unto this day.
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 they, but we also in whom are the first fruits of the Spirit, we groan within ourselves, and look anxiously for the adoption of sons, the redemption of our bodies.
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?
Because we live in hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope: for if we saw it, how should we hope for it?
25 Men, si n'ap tann sa nou pa wè, n'ap tann li avèk pasyans.
But if we hope for that which is not seen, we are in patient waiting.
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.
So also the Spirit aideth our weakness. For we know not what to pray for, in a proper manner; but the Spirit prayeth for us, with groans not expressible:
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 the explorer of hearts, he knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit; because he prayeth for the saints, agreeably to the good pleasure of 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 he aideth him in all things, for good, who love God; them whom he predestined to be called.
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.
And he knew them, previously; and he sealed them with the likeness of the image of his Son; that He might be the first-born of 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.
And those whom he previously sealed, them he called: and those whom he called, them he justified: and those whom he justified, them he glorified.
31 Kisa n'a di ankò sou pwen sa a? Si Bondye pou nou, kilès ki ka kont nou?
What then shall we say of these things? If God is for us; who is 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?
And, if he spared not his Son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not give us all things, with him?
33 Ki moun ki va akize moun Bondye chwazi yo? Pesonn. Paske se Bondye menm ki fè yo gras!
Who will set himself against the chosen of God? It is God who justifieth.
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 it that condemneth? Messiah died, and arose, and is on the right hand of God, and maketh 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:
What will sever me from the love of Messiah? Will affliction? or distress? or persecution? or famine? or nakedness? or peril? or the sword?
36 Se poutèt ou, tout moun yo soti pou touye nou. Yo gade nou tankou mouton y'ap mennen labatwa.
As it is written: For thy sake, we die daily: and, we are accounted as sheep for 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 things we are victorious, by means of 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 principalities, nor powers, 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 height, nor depth, nor any other creature, will be able to sever me from the love of God, which is in our Lord Jesus Messiah.
