Ròm 1
1 Paul, yon sèvitè-atache nèt a Jésus Kri, aple kòm apot mete apa pou bòn nouvèl Bondye a,
Paul a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,
2 ke Li te pwomèt oparavan atravè pwofèt Li yo nan Ekriti Sen Yo,
separated unto the gospel of God, (which He had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures) concerning his Son,
3 konsènan Fis Li a ki te ne de yon desandan David selon lachè,
who was of the seed of David according to the flesh,
4 ki te deklare Fis Bondye a avèk pouvwa akoz rezirèksyon Li, ki te fè L sòti nan lanmò, atravè Lespri sentete a, Jésus Kri, Senyè nou an.
but powerfully declared to be the Son of God, according to the spirit of holiness, by his resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord;
5 Pa Li menm nou te resevwa gras e te rele kòm apot pou fè parèt obeyisans lafwa a pami tout etranje yo pou koz Sen Non Li.
by whom we have received grace and apostleship to preach the obedience of faith for his name's sake, to all nations;
6 Pami sila yo nou menm osi te rele pa Jésus Kri.
among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ;
7 A tout sila yo ke Bondye renmen anpil nan Rome, ke Li te rele kòm sen yo: gras anvè nou avèk lapè ki sòti nan Bondye, Papa nou, ak Senyè a Jésus Kri.
to all that are in Rome beloved of God, called and holy: grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Premyèman mwen remèsye Bondye mwen an selon Jésus Kri pou nou tout, ke lafwa nou ap pwoklame toupatou nan lemond.
And first I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is celebrated through the whole world:
9 Paske Bondye ke mwen sèvi nan lespri mwen lè m preche levanjil Fis Li a, se temwen m ke m ap nonmen non nou san rete nan lapriyè mwen yo.
for God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how incessantly I make mention of you always in my prayers,
10 Toujou nan priyè mwen yo, m ap mande Bondye nan volonte L, dènyèman, pou L kite m vin wè nou.
intreating if I may now at length have a prosperous journey by the will of God, to come unto you.
11 Paske mwen anvi wè nou pou m kapab bannou kèk don Lespri a, pou nou kapab byen etabli.
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established:
12 Sa vle di, pou mwen menm kapab ankouraje ansanm avèk nou pandan mwen pami nou, nou chak pa lafwa a lòt, lafwa pa nou ak lafwa pa m tou.
that is to say, that being among you we may be comforted together by the faith of each, both yours and mine.
13 Mwen pa vle nou pa okouran, frè m yo, ke souvan mwen konn fè plan pou vin wè nou (malgre sa pa t realize). Mwen ta renmen sa fèt pou m kapab rekòlte kèk fwi pami nou tou, menm jan ak tout lòt nasyon etranje yo.
And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I often purposed to come unto you, (but have been hindered hitherto) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentiles.
14 Mwen gen obligasyon ni pou Grèk ni pou moun ki baba; ni pou sila ki saj ni pou sila ki ensanse yo.
For I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the learned and the unlearned:
15 Donk, Pou pati pa m, mwen gen gwo anvi pou preche levanjil la a nou menm osi ki nan Rome.
therefore am I ready, as much as in me lies, to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.
16 Paske mwen pa wont de levanjil la paske se li ki pouvwa Bondye a pou sove tout moun ki kwè yo. Li la avan pou Jwif la, e dabò Grèk la tou.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, both Jew and Greek:
17 Paske se nan levanjil sa a ke ladwati Bondye revele soti nan lafwa pou rive nan lafwa, jan sa ekri a: “Men moun ki jis la ap viv pa lafwa”.
for the righteousness of God is therein revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."
18 Paske lakòlè Bondye parèt soti nan syèl la kont tout enkwayans ak tout enjistis a lòm ki kache verite a ak enjistis.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who withhold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Paske sa ke tout moun konnen de Bondye a, byen klè pou yo, paske Bondye te fè l parèt a klè.
for what is to be known of God is manifest among them, for God hath manifested it to them.
20 Paske depi nan kreyasyon mond lan tout aspè envizib Li yo, pouvwa etènèl Li ak nati diven Li an te parèt byen a klè. Sa byen konprann menm selon sa Li te kreye. Konsa, yo rete san eskiz. (aïdios g126)
Inasmuch as from the first creation of the world, the invisible things of Him, even his eternal power and Godhead, are, if attended to, clearly seen in his works: (aïdios g126)
21 Paske malgre yo te konnen Bondye, yo pa t bay Li lonè kòm Bondye, ni bay Li remèsiman, men yo te vin egare nan panse yo. Yo te vin ranpli avèk foli, e kè yo te vin fonse tounwa.
so that they are inexcusable; because having thus known God they glorified Him not as God, neither were they thankful; but were infatuated by their own reasonings, and their heart being void of understanding was darkened.
22 Nan pretann ke yo te saj, yo te vin fou,
Pretending to be wise they Became fools:
23 epi te ranplase laglwa a Bondye enkonwonpi a pou yon imaj ki sanblab a lòm konwonpi ak zwazo, bèt kat pye, ak bèt k ap rale sou vant yo.
and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for an image like to corruptible man, and birds, and beasts, and reptiles.
24 Konsa Bondye te livre yo a konvwatiz kè yo ak tout sa ki pa pwòp, pou kò yo te kapab dezonore pami yo menm.
Wherefore God also gave them up to impurity, in the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves;
25 Paske yo te ranplase verite Bondye a ak yon bann manti, yo te adore e sèvi kreyati a olye de Kreyatè a, ki beni pou tout tan an. Amen. (aiōn g165)
who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature instead of the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Pou rezon sila a Bondye te livre yo a pasyon k ap avili yo. Paske fanm pa yo te ranplase fonksyon lanati a pa sa ki pa nan nati a.
Therefore God gave them up to infamous passions: for even their women changed the natural use into that which is unnatural,
27 Epi menm jan mesye yo te abandone fonksyon natirèl fanm nan pou vin boule nan dezi anvè youn pou lòt; gason avèk gason k ap fè zak malpwòp e k ap resevwa nan pwòp kò pa yo pinisyon yo merite pou erè yo a.
and the men likewise, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust to one another, men with men committing shame, and receiving in themselves the recompence of their error which they deserved.
28 Menm jan yo pa t trouve l bon ankò pou rekonèt Bondye, Bondye te livre yo a yon panse tòde pou fè bagay ki pa pwòp sa yo.
And as they were not careful to acknowledge God, God gave them up to an undiscerning mind to do things that were not fit to be done:
29 Yo te vin ranpli avèk tout kalite enjistis, mechanste, konvwatiz, ak mal. Yo te plen ak anvi, touye moun, konfli, desepsyon, malis, tripotay.
being filled with all injustice, lewdness, wickedness, covetousness, malignity; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and every evil habit; whisperers,
30 Yo vin Medizan, lènmi a Bondye, ensolan, awogan, ògeye, envantè a mechanste dezobeyisan a paran yo,
slanderers, haters of God, injurious, haughty, proud, inventers of mischief, undutiful to parents, void of understanding,
31 san konprann, san entegrite san lanmou, e san mizerikòd.
covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, and unmerciful:
32 Malgre yo konnen òdonans Bondye a, ke sila ki pratike bagay sa yo merite lanmò, yo non sèlman fè yo, men yo vin konplètman dakò avèk sila ki pratike yo tou.
who though they knew the just judgement of God, (that they who commit such practises are worthy of death) yet not only do these very things, but also countenance and encourage others in the practice of them.
