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 you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practise the same things.
2 Epi nou konnen ke li jis lè jijman Bondye a tonbe sou sila ki pratike bagay sa yo.
We know that the judgement of God is according to truth against those who practise 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?
Do you think this, O man who judges those who practise such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgement 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 do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you 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 your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgement of God,
6 Li menm va rann jijman a chak moun selon tout zèv li.
who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”
to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honour, and incorruptibility, eternal life; (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 who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, 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.
oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10 Men laglwa, lonè ak lapè pou tout moun ki fè byen, premyèman pou Jwif la, men osi pou Grèk la.
But glory, honour, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11 Paske avèk Bondye pa gen patipri.
For there is no partiality 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 the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
13 Paske se pa sila ki tande Lalwa a ki jis devan Bondye, men se sila ki obeyi Lalwa a ki jistifye.
For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will 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 Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the 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.
in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts amongst themselves accusing or else excusing them)
16 Nan jou sa a selon levanjil mwen an, Bondye ap jije tout sekrè a lèzòm selon Jésus Kri.
in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Yeshua the Messiah.
17 Men si nou pote tit “Jwif”, depann de Lalwa, e vante tèt nou nan Bondye,
Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
18 konnen volonte Li, e vin dakò avèk tout bagay ki nesesè, paske se nou menm ki enstwi selon Lalwa a,
know his will, and approve the things that are 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 are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to 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;
a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
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?
You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who proclaim that a man shouldn’t steal, do you 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?
You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23 Nou menm ki vante tèt nou nan Lalwa a, malgre nou vyole Lalwa a, èske nou dezonore Bondye?
You who glory in the law, do you dishonour God by disobeying the law?
24 Paske jan sa ekri a: “Non Bondye a blasfeme pa etranje yo akoz de nou”.
For “the name of God is blasphemed amongst the Gentiles because of you,” just 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 you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has 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 uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as 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?
Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfil the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
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 is that circumcision which is outward in the 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 one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
