Ròm 9
1 Se vre wi, sa m'ap di nou la a. Mwen se moun Kris la, mwen p'ap bay manti. Epi, konsyans mwen ki anba pouvwa Sentespri a ta repwoche m' anpil si m' t'ap bay manti.
I say the trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience bearing mee witnes in the holy Ghost,
2 Kè m' sere anpil, se pa yon ti lapenn mwen santi k'ap manje m' tout tan.
That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorow in mine heart.
3 Mwen ta pito wè m' tonbe anba madichon Bondye, mwen ta pito pèdi renmen Kris la gen pou mwen an si sa te ka sèvi pou byen frè m' yo, moun menm ras avè mwen yo.
For I woulde wish my selfe to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsemen according to the flesh,
4 Yo se pitit pitit Izrayèl; Bondye te chwazi yo pou pwòp pitit li. Se nan mitan yo Bondye te fè tout bèl mèvèy li yo. Se ak yo li te pase kontra li yo. Li te ba yo lalwa. Li te moutre yo jan pou yo sèvi l'; se yo ki te resevwa pwomès li yo.
Which are the Israelites, to whome perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Couenants, and the giuing of the Lawe, and the seruice of God, and the promises.
5 Yo se pitit pitit zansèt nou yo. Se nan ras yo Kris la soti lè l' te fèt tankou yon nonm. Lwanj pou tout tan pou li menm ki Bondye sou tout bagay. Amèn. (aiōn g165)
Of whome are the fathers, and of whome concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Lè m' di sa, sa pa vle di Bondye p'ap kenbe pwomès li ankò. Se pa tout pitit pitit Izrayèl yo ki fè pati pèp Bondye a.
Notwithstanding it can not bee that the worde of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Se pa tout pitit pitit Abraram yo ki bon pitit pou li, paske Bondye te di Abraram, dapre sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Se Izarak ki va fè pitit pitit mwen te pwomèt ou yo.
Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called:
8 Sa vle di: tout pitit ki fèt dapre egzijans natirèl kò a pa pitit Bondye. Se sèlman pitit ki fèt dapre pwomès Bondye a ki bon pitit pitit li.
That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promise, are counted for the seede.
9 Men ki jan Bondye te fè pwomès la: Lè konsa, lanne k'ap vini an, m'a tounen. Lè sa a Sara va gen tan gen yon pitit gason.
For this is a worde of promise, In this same time wil I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne.
10 Gen lòt pawòl toujou pou di sou pwen sa a: Rebeka te fè de pitit gason pou yon sèl papa, Izarak granpapa nou.
Neither he onely felt this, but also Rebecca when shee had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac.
11 -(we vèsè pwochen)
For yer the children were borne, and when they had neither done good, nor euill (that the purpose of God might remaine according to election, not by workes, but by him that calleth)
12 Men, Bondye gen jan pa l' pou l' chwazi moun. Bondye pa chwazi yon moun paske moun lan fè anyen pou sa, men paske Bondye vle chwazi li. Enben, pou fè nou wè se konsa li toujou fè, Bondye pale ak Rebeka anvan menm timoun yo te fèt, anvan menm yo te fè anyen ni an byen ni an mal. Li di l' konsa: Pi gran an gen pou sèvi pi piti a.
It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger.
13 Dapre sa ki te ekri: Mwen renmen Jakòb, mwen rayi Ezaou.
As it is written, I haue loued Iacob, and haue hated Esau.
14 Bon, kisa sa vle di? Bondye gen lè ap fè lenjistis? Men non.
What shall wee say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.
15 Chonje sa Bondye te di Moyiz: M'a gen pitye pou moun mwen vle gen pitye, M'a louvri kè m' pou moun mwen vle.
For he saith to Moses, I wil haue mercy on him, to whom I wil shew mercie: and wil haue compassion on him, on who I wil haue copassion.
16 Se sak fè, bagay konsa pa gade lèzòm, ou mèt tande yo vle, ou mèt tande yo fè. Se bagay ki gade Bondye sèlman, li menm ki gen kè sansib.
So then it is not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth, but in God that sheweth mercy.
17 Paske nan Liv la, men sa Bondye di farawon an: Se mwen ki fè ou wa tout espre, pou lè moun wè ou, yo ka wè pouvwa mwen, pou moun ka mache fè konnen non mwen toupatou sou latè.
For the Scripture saith vnto Pharao, For this same purpose haue I stirred thee vp, that I might shewe my power in thee, and that my Name might be declared throughout al the earth.
18 Konsa, Bondye gen pitye pou moun li vle, li fè moun li vle kenbe tèt ak li.
Therefore he hath mercie on whome he will, and whom he will, he hardeneth.
19 Koulye a, n'a mande m': Si se konsa, kisa Bondye gen pou repwoche moun? Ki moun ki janm kenbe tèt ak Bondye?
Thou wilt say then vnto me, Why doeth he yet complaine? for who hath resisted his will?
20 Monchè, pito ou mande: kisa m' ye pou m' ap diskite ak Bondye konsa? Pran yon krich: èske krich la ka pale ak moun ki fè l' la pou l' mande l': Poukisa se konsa ou fè m'?
But, O man, who art thou which pleadest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Moun k'ap bat tè pou fè krich la gen dwa fè sa l' vle ak tè a. Avèk menm pa t' labou a, li ka fè de kalite krich: yon bèl krich byen chè ak yon krich bon mache.
Hath not the potter power of the clay to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another vnto dishonour?
22 Nou pa gen anyen pou n' di Bondye ankò. Li vle fè nou wè kòlè li, an menm tan li vle fè nou konnen pouvwa li. Se poutèt sa, avèk anpil pasyans li sipòte tout moun ki te merite kòlè li epi ki te tou bon pou mouri.
What and if God would, to shewe his wrath, and to make his power knowen, suffer with long patience the vessels of wrath, prepared to destruction?
23 Li te vle fè nou wè tou kantite bèl bagay li sere pou moun lè li gen pitye pou yo, pou nou menm li te pare davans pou resevwa bèl bagay li yo.
And that hee might declare the riches of his glory vpon the vessels of mercy, which hee hath prepared vnto glory?
24 Lè m' di nou menm lan, m'ap pale sou tout moun li rele, non sèlman nan jwif yo, men nan moun lòt nasyon yo tou.
Euen vs whome hee hath called, not of of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles,
25 Se sa menm li di nan liv pwofèt Oze a: Moun ki pa t' pèp mwen an, se yo menm m'a rele pèp mwen. Nasyon mwen pa t' renmen an, se li menm m'a rele cheri mwen.
As he sayth also in Osee, I will call them, My people, which were not my people: and her, Beloued, which was not beloued.
26 Tout kote yo t'ap di se pa pèp mwen yo ye. se la y'a rele yo pitit Bondye ki vivan an.
And it shalbe in the place where it was said vnto them, Ye are not my people, that there they shalbe called, The children of the liuing God.
27 Kanta pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo, Ezayi, bò pa l' menm, di konsa: Menm si moun pèp Izrayèl yo ta anpil tankou grenn sab bò lanmè, se yon ti ponyen sèlman nan yo k'ap sove.
Also Esaias cryeth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, yet shall but a remnant be saued.
28 Paske, Mèt la gen pou l' fè tou sa l' te di a nèt, epi byen vit ankò, sou tout latè.
For he wil make his account, and gather it into a short summe with righteousnes: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth.
29 Tankou menm pwofèt Ezayi sa a te di anvan: Si Mèt ki gen tout pouvwa a pa t' kite kèk pitit pitit pou nou, nou ta pase tankou Sodòm, nou ta menm jan ak Gomò.
And as Esaias sayde before, Except the Lord of hostes had left vs a seede, we had bene made as Sodom, and had bene like to Gomorrha.
30 Kisa n'a di nan tou sa? Men sa n'a di: Moun ki pa t' jwif yo, ki pa t'ap chache mwayen pou Bondye fè yo gras la, se yo menm Bondye fè gras paske yo mete konfyans yo nan li.
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which folowed not righteousnes, haue attained vnto righteousnes, euen the righteousnes which is of faith.
31 Men, moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki t'ap chache yon lalwa ki pou ta fè Bondye fè yo gras, yo pa jwenn sa yo t'ap chache a.
But Israel which followed the Lawe of righteousnes, could not arteine vnto the Law of righteousnes.
32 Poukisa? Paske yo pa t' mete konfyans yo nan Bondye; yo t'ap chache mwayen pou Bondye fè yo gras ak zèv yo t'ap fè yo. Se konsa y' al frape pye yo sou wòch k'ap fè moun bite a,
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the workes of the Lawe: for they haue stumbled at the stumbling stone,
33 jan sa te ekri a: Men li, mwen mete yon wòch nan mitan peyi Siyon, yon wòch k'ap fè moun bite wi, yon gwo wòch k'ap fè moun tonbe. Men, moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li p'ap janm soti wont.
As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and a rocke to make men fall: and euery one that beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.
