Ròm 15

1 Alò nou menm ki fò, nou dwe sipòte feblès sila ki san fòs yo, e se pa sèlman fè pwòp tèt nou plezi.

Now we that are stronger, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

2 Ke chak en de nou fè kè vwazen nou alèz pou l ka jwenn tout sa ki bon, k ap fè l plen konfyans.

Let every one of you please his neighbour unto good, to edification.

3 Paske menm Kris pa t fè tèt li plezi, menm jan sa ekri a: “Repwòch de sila ki te repwoche ou yo te tonbe sou Mwen.”

For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me.

4 Paske tout bagay ki te ekri nan tan pase yo te ekri pou enstwi nou menm; pouke selon pèseverans ak ankourajman Ekriti yo, nou ta kapab vin genyen lespwa.

For what things soever were written, were written for our learning: that through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope.

5 Koulye a mwen priye, pou menm Bondye ki bay pèseverans ak ankourajman an kapab fè nou gen menm panse, youn avèk lòt atravè Jésus Kris:

Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another, according to Jesus Christ:

6 Pouke nan tout akò pou nou kapab avèk yon sèl vwa bay glwa a Bondye, Papa a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.

That with one mind, and with one mouth, you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Konsa aksepte youn lòt, menm jan ke Kris osi te aksepte nou pou laglwa Bondye a.

Wherefore receive one another, as Christ also hath received you unto the honour of God.

8 Paske mwen di ke Kris gen tan vin yon sèvitè a sila ki sikonsi yo, anfavè verite a Bondye a pou konfime pwomès ki te fèt a zansèt yo;

For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.

9 epi pou pèp etranje yo ta ka bay Bondye glwa pou mizerikòd Li, jan sa ekri a: “Konsa, Mwen va bay Ou lwanj pami pèp etranje yo, e mwen va chante Non Ou.”

But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.

10 Li di ankò: “Rejwi, O pèp etranje yo avèk pèp Li a.”

And again he saith: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

11 Epi ankò: “Bay lwanj a Senyè a, nou tout pèp etranje yo! Kite tout pèp yo ba Li lwanj.”

And again: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and magnify him, all ye people.

12 Esaïe di ankò: “Li va gen rasin Jessé a; Sila ki leve pou renye sou pèp etranje yo. Nan Li menm, pèp etranje yo va mete espwa yo.”

And again Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope.

13 Koulye a, ke Bondye esperans lan kapab ranpli nou avèk lajwa ak lapè nan lafwa pouke nou kapab plen avèk esperans pa pwisans a Lespri Sen an.

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing; that you may abound in hope, and in the power of the Holy Ghost.

14 Epi konsènan nou menm, frè mwen yo, mwen gen konviksyon ke nou menm, nou plen ak bonte, byen ranpli avèk tout konesans, e kapab osi egzòte youn lòt.

And I myself also, my brethren, am assured of you, that you also are full of love, replenished with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another.

15 Men mwen ekri nou avèk kouraj sou kèk pwen pou fè nou sonje ankò, akoz gras Bondye ke mwen resevwa a,

But I have written to you, brethren, more boldly in some sort, as it were putting you in mind: because of the grace which is given me from God.

16 pou m kapab yon sèvitè Jésus Kris pou pèp etranje yo, pou m fè sèvis kòm yon prèt pou levanjil Bondye a, jis pou ofrann mwen bay pèp etranje yo kapab vin akseptab, e byen sanktifye pa Lespri Sen an.

That I should be the minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles; sanctifying the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and sanctified in the Holy Ghost.

17 Konsa, nan Jésus Kri mwen gen tan twouve rezon pou vante tèt mwen nan bagay ki apatyen a Bondye.

I have therefore glory in Christ Jesus towards God.

18 Mwen p ap pèmèt mwen pale de okenn bagay sof de sa ke Kris gen tan akonpli atravè mwen an, kon rezilta a, obeyisans pèp etranje yo pa pawòl ak aksyon,

For I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ worketh not by me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

19 nan pouvwa sign ak mirak yo nan pouvwa Lespri a, pouke soti Jérusalem jis rive nan Illyrie ak anviwon peyi a, mwen fin preche tout levanjil a Kris la.

By the virtue of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Ghost, so that from Jerusalem round about as far as unto Illyricum, I have replenished the gospel of Christ.

20 Se konsa mwen vle preche levanjil la; pa kote ke Kris te deja konnen pou m pa bati sou fondasyon a yon lòt moun,

And I have so preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation.

21 Men jan sa ekri a: “Sila ki pa gen nouvèl Li yo va wè, e sila ki pa tande yo va konprann”.

But as it is written: They to whom he was not spoken of, shall see, and they that have not heard shall understand.

22 Pou rezon sa a byen souvan mwen anpeche vin kote nou.

For which cause also I was hindered very much from coming to you, and have been kept away till now.

23 Men koulye a, akoz pa gen lòt andwa pou mwen nan rejyon sa yo, e depi anpil ane mwen anvi vin wè nou,

But now having no more place in these countries, and having a great desire these many years past to come unto you,

24 nenpòt lè mwen ale Espagne, mwen espere wè nou pandan m ap pase. Konsa nou kapab ede m fin rive la apre mwen fin rejwi de prezans nou pandan kèk tan.

When I shall begin to take my journey into Spain, I hope that as I pass, I shall see you, and be brought on my way thither by you, if first, in part, I shall have enjoyed you:

25 Men koulye a mwen prale Jérusalem pou sèvi fidèl yo.

But now I shall go to Jerusalem, to minister unto the saints.

26 Paske legliz yo nan Macédoine ak Achaïe te kontan fè yon don pou malere yo pami fidèl Jérusalem yo.

For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a contribution for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem.

27 Wi, yo te kontan fè sa, e yo dwe yo. Paske si pèp etranje yo gen tan pataje bagay ki soti nan Lespri Bondye a, yo dwe remèt sèvis a yo tou ak bagay materyèl.

For it hath pleased them; and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they ought also in carnal things to minister to them.

28 Konsa, lè m fin fè sa, e mete so mwen sou fwi sa ki sòti nan yo menm nan, m ap pase bò kote nou nan wout pou m ale Espagne la.

When therefore I shall have accomplished this, and consigned to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

29 Mwen konnen ke lè m vin kote nou, m ap vini byen ranpli avèk benediksyon a Kris la.

And I know, that when I come to you, I shall come in the abundance of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

30 Koulye a mwen ankouraje nou, frè m yo, pa Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri e pa lanmou Lespri a, pou fè tout efò ansanm avèk mwen nan lapriyè a Bondye pou mwen menm

I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God,

31 pou mwen kapab delivre anba sila yo nan Juda ki dezobeyisan, e pou sèvis mwen pou Jérusalem kapab akseptab devan fidèl yo,

That I may be delivered from the unbelievers that are in Judea, and that the oblation of my service may be acceptable in Jerusalem to the saints.

32 pou mwen kapab vini a nou menm nan lajwa pa volonte Bondye e pou m twouve yon repo rafrechisan an konpayi de nou menm.

That I may come to you with joy, by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you.

33 Pou koulye a ke Bondye lapè a kapab avèk nou tout. Amen.

Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
