Ròm 10
1 Frè m yo, dezi kè m ak lapriyè m a Bondye se pou tout Jwif yo kapab sove.
Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication 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 bear them witness 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, 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 unto righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 Moïse te ekri ke moun ki pratike ladwati ki baze sou Lalwa a ap viv pa jistis sila a.
For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.
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 saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall 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 shall descend into the abyss? (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 saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy 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.
because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt 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 man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 Paske Ekriti Sen an di: “Nenpòt moun ki kwè nan Li p ap desi.”
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall 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] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:
13 Konsa, “Nenpòt moun ki rele Non Senyè a ap sove.”
for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall 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 shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall 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 shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that 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 hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 Konsa lafwa soti nan tande, e tande pa pawòl a Kris la.
So belief [cometh] of 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 say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words unto 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 say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.
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.”
And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of 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 saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
