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 them, 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 end 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 go up 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 go down into the deep?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)" (Abyssos g12)
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 message of faith that we proclaim;
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.
because, if you acknowledge 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 acknowledgment 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 put to shame."
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 of all 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? And how will they hear without someone preaching?
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 bring good news of peace, who bring good news 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 Good 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 Christ.
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 ask, isn't it rather that they did not hear? On the contrary, "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, their words to the farthest parts 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 not a people. I will make you angry with a foolish nation."
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 as to Israel he says, "All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."
