Ròm 10
1 Frè m yo, dezi kè m ak lapriyè m a Bondye se pou tout Jwif yo kapab sove.
Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
2 Paske mwen temwaye de yo ke yo gen yon zèl pou Bondye, men pa selon bon konprann yo.
For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 Paske san konesans de ladwati Bondye a, yo te eseye etabli ladwati pa yo, e yo pa t soumèt yo menm a jistis Bondye a.
For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
4 Paske Kris fè lalwa a ranpli pou ladwati de tout sila ki kwè yo.
For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 Moïse te ekri ke moun ki pratike ladwati ki baze sou Lalwa a ap viv pa jistis sila a.
For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
6 Men ladwati ki baze sou lafwa a, pale konsa: “Pa di nan kè ou ‘Kilès k ap monte nan syèl la?’ (Sa vle di pou fè Kris desann)
But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);
7 Oubyen: ‘Kilès k ap desann nan labim nan’ (sa vle di pou mennen Kris sòti nan lanmò).” (Abyssos g12)
or, 'Who will descend into the Abyss (Abyssos g12)?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)"
8 Men kisa sa di? “Pawòl la toupre ou nan bouch ou, ak nan kè ou.” Sa vle di pawòl lafwa ke n ap preche a,
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach:
9 ke si ou konfese avèk bouch ou Jésus kòm Senyè, e kwè nan kè ou ke Bondye te resisite L, soti nan lanmò, ou va sove.
that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 Paske avèk kè yon moun kwè ki fè l rive nan ladwati a, e avèk bouch li konfese ki fè l va sove.
For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
11 Paske Ekriti Sen an di: “Nenpòt moun ki kwè nan Li p ap desi.”
For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
12 Paske pa gen distenksyon antre Jwif ak Grèk; paske menm Senyè a se Senyè a tout moun, e Li plen richès pou tout sila ki rele Li yo.
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
13 Konsa, “Nenpòt moun ki rele Non Senyè a ap sove.”
For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 Konsa kòman yo va rele Li si yo pa janm kwè? Kòman yo va kwè nan Li si yo pa janm tande? Epi kòman yo va tande san yon predikatè?
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
15 Kòman yo va preche yo si yo pa voye ba yo? Jis jan sa ekri a: “A la bèl pye a sila ki pote bòn nouvèl a bon bagay bèl yo!”
And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16 Sepandan, se pa tout moun ki te aksepte bòn nouvèl la; Ésaïe di: “Senyè, kilès ki kwè rapò nou an?”
But they did not all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
17 Konsa lafwa soti nan tande, e tande pa pawòl a Kris la.
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 Men mwen di: “Byensi, yo pa janm tande; se pa sa?” Anfèt yo tande: “Vwa pa yo ale sou tout latè e pawòl pa yo rive jis nan dènye pwent mond lan.” Epi pawòl yo rive nan tout pwent latè a.
But I say, did not they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
19 Men mwen di: “Byensi Israël pa t konnen; se pa sa?” Dabò, Moïse di: “M ap fè nou jalou pou sa ki pa yon nasyon; avèk yon nasyon san konprann, m ap fè nou fache.”
But I ask, did not Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”
20 Ésaïe, ak kouraj te di: “Mwen te twouve pa sila ki pa t chache M yo; Mwen te vin parèt a sila ki pa t mande pou mwen yo.”
Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who did not seek me. I was revealed to those who did not ask for me.”
21 Men selon Israël Li di: “Mwen lonje men m tout lajounen bay yon pèp tèt di e dezobeyisan.”
But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
