Ròm 2
1 Konsa, nou vin san eskiz; nou tout ki pote jijman yo. Nan menm moman ke nou jije lòt yo, nou kondannen pwòp tèt nou. Paske nou menm ki jije yo, pratike menm bagay sa yo.
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one who judgest, for in that in which thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2 Epi nou konnen ke li jis lè jijman Bondye a tonbe sou sila ki pratike bagay sa yo.
But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who do such things.
3 Men èske ou sipoze sa o lòm; ke lè ou jije sila ki pratike bagay sa yo, epi ou menm ou fè menm bagay yo, ke ou va chape de jijman Bondye a?
And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and practisest them [thyself], that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Oubyen èske ou panse ke richès a bonte Li, tolerans ak pasyans Li se yon bagay lejè, san nou konprann ke se bonte Bondye menm ki mennen nou nan larepantans?
or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?
5 Men akoz de tèt ak kè di nou, nou ap ranmase vanjans Bondye pou dènye gran jou kòlè a, lè Bondye ap fè vin parèt tout jijman jis Li yo.
but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in [the] day of wrath and revelation of [the] righteous judgment of God,
6 Li menm va rann jijman a chak moun selon tout zèv li.
who shall render to each according to his works:
to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
8 men sila yo ki ranpli ak anbisyon pèsonèl e ki pa obeyi verite a, men ki obeyisan sèlman a lenjistis, ap twouve lakòlè ak lendiyasyon Bondye.
But to those that are contentious, and are disobedient to the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [there shall be] wrath and indignation,
9 Va genyen tribilasyon ak gran doulè pou tout nanm pami lòm ki fè mechanste premyèman pou Jwif la, men osi pou Grèk la.
tribulation and distress, on every soul of man that works evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;
10 Men laglwa, lonè ak lapè pou tout moun ki fè byen, premyèman pou Jwif la, men osi pou Grèk la.
but glory and honour and peace to every one that works good, both to Jew first and to Greek:
11 Paske avèk Bondye pa gen patipri.
for there is no acceptance of persons with God.
12 Paske tout moun ki fè peche san Lalwa a va peri osi san Lalwa a, e tout moun ki fè peche anba Lalwa a va jije pa Lalwa a.
For as many as have sinned without law shall perish also without law; and as many as have sinned under law shall be judged by law,
13 Paske se pa sila ki tande Lalwa a ki jis devan Bondye, men se sila ki obeyi Lalwa a ki jistifye.
(for not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 Paske lè pèp etranje yo ki pa gen Lalwa a, fè pa ensten sa ke Lalwa a mande, sila yo, san menm gen lalwa a, vini yon lwa pou kont yo.
For when [those of the] nations, which have no law, practise by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;
15 Konsa yo demontre ke zèv Lalwa yo se byen ekri nan kè yo. Se pwòp konsyans yo ki bay temwayaj, epi panse yo, pafwa ap bay kondanasyon e pafwa ap defann yo.
who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing themselves between themselves; )
16 Nan jou sa a selon levanjil mwen an, Bondye ap jije tout sekrè a lèzòm selon Jésus Kri.
in [the] day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my glad tidings, by Jesus Christ.
17 Men si nou pote tit “Jwif”, depann de Lalwa, e vante tèt nou nan Bondye,
But if thou art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God,
18 konnen volonte Li, e vin dakò avèk tout bagay ki nesesè, paske se nou menm ki enstwi selon Lalwa a,
and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19 si nou rete byen si ke nou menm se gid avèg yo, yon limyè pou sila ki nan tenèb yo,
and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who [are] in darkness,
20 yon korektè pou ensanse yo, yon pwofesè pou sila ki poko gen matirite yo, akoz ke nou gen Lalwa a kòm vrè baz konesans ak verite a;
an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law:
21 konsa, nou menm ki enstwi lòt yo, èske nou pa enstwi pwòp tèt nou? Nou menm ki preche ke yon moun pa dwe vòlè, èske nou vòlè?
thou then that teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that preachest not to steal, dost thou steal?
22 Nou menm ki di ke yon moun pa dwe fè adiltè, èske nou fè adiltè? Nou menm ki rayi zidòl yo, èske nou konn vòlè tanp yo?
thou that sayest [man should] not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23 Nou menm ki vante tèt nou nan Lalwa a, malgre nou vyole Lalwa a, èske nou dezonore Bondye?
thou who boastest in law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God?
24 Paske jan sa ekri a: “Non Bondye a blasfeme pa etranje yo akoz de nou”.
For the name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, according as it is written.
25 Paske anverite, sikonsizyon gen valè si nou ap pratike Lalwa a, men si nou se yon transgresè Lalwa a, sikonsizyon sa a gen tan vini ensikonsizyon.
For circumcision indeed profits if thou keep [the] law; but if thou be a law-transgressor, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.
26 Donk, si yon nonm ki pa fizikman sikonsi swiv tout règleman Lalwa yo, èske ensikonsizyon li an pa konsidere kòm sikonsizyon?
If therefore the uncircumcision keep the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision,
27 Epi li menm ki pa sikonsi fizikman, si li gade lalwa a, èske li p ap jije nou, ki malgre nou gen chak lèt lalwa a ak sikonsizyon, se vyolatè lalwa a?
and uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, judge thee, who, with letter and circumcision, [art] a law-transgressor?
28 Paske sa ki fè yon moun Jwif se pa sa ki parèt deyò a. Ni vrè sikonizyon an se pa sa ki fèt nan chè eksteryè a.
For he is not a Jew who [is] one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh;
29 Men yon vrè Jwif se sila ki sikonsi pa anndan. Sikonsizyon an se sa ki fèt nan kè, pa Lespri Sen an, men pa selon lèt lalwa a. Lwanj pa li pa sòti nan lòm, men nan Bondye.
but he [is] a Jew [who is so] inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.
