Ròm 5
1 Konsa, akoz ke nou jistifye pa lafwa, nou gen lapè avèk Bondye atravè Senyè nou an Jésus Kri.
Therefore, having been pronounced righteous as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
2 Selon Li menm tou pa lafwa, nou te twouve aksè a gras sa a ki fè nou kanpe fèm. Epi nou rejwi nan esperans laglwa Bondye a.
It is through him that, by reason of our faith, we have obtained admission to that place in God’s favour in which we now stand. So let us exult in our hope of attaining God’s glorious ideal.
3 Pa sèlman sa, men nou rejwi nan tribilasyon nou yo, paske nou konnen ke tribilasyon sa a pote pèseverans.
And not only that, but let us also exult in our troubles;
4 E pèseverans fè bon karaktè, e bon karaktè, esperans.
for we know that trouble develops endurance, and endurance strength of character, and strength of character hope,
5 Epi esperans p ap janm fè nou desi, paske lanmou Bondye gen tan vide nan kè nou atravè Lespri Sen a ki te bay a nou menm nan.
and that hope never disappoints. For the love of God has filled our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given us;
6 Paske pandan nou te ankò san defans, nan moman an menm, Kris te mouri pou sila ki te san Bondye yo.
seeing that, while we were still powerless, Christ, in God’s good time, died on behalf of the godless.
7 Se pa fasil ke yon nonm ta mouri pou yon moun ki jis, men petèt pou yon bon moun, li ta kab gen kouraj pou mouri.
Even for an upright person scarcely anyone will die. For a really good person perhaps someone might even dare to die.
8 Men Bondye montre tout lanmou li anvè nou, ke pandan nou te ankò pechè, Kris te mouri pou nou.
But God puts his love for us beyond all doubt by the fact that Christ died on our behalf while we were still sinners.
9 Anplis ke sa, akoz ke nou gen tan jistifye pa san li, nou va sove de lakòlè Bondye a atravè Li menm.
Much more, then, now that we have been pronounced righteous by virtue of the shedding of his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God.
10 Paske, si pandan nou te ankò lènmi, nou te rekonsilye a Bondye pa lanmò a Fis Li a, anplis ke sa, akoz nou gen tan rekonsilye, nou va sove pa lavi Li.
For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, much more, now that we have become reconciled, will we be saved by virtue of Christ’s life.
11 Epi pa sèlman sa, men osi nou rejwi nan Bondye atravè Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri. Atravè Li menm nou gen tan rekonsilye.
And not only that, but we exult in God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, through whom we have now obtained this reconciliation.
12 Pou sa, se konsa pa yon sèl moun peche te antre nan lemonn, e lanmò pa peche a, konsa lanmò te rive a tout moun paske tout moun fè peche.
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and through sin came death; so, also, death spread to all humanity, because every person has sinned.
13 Paske jiska Lalwa a te rive, peche te deja nan lemonn, men peche pa t kapab resevwa jijman kote ki pa gen lalwa.
Even before the time of the Law there was sin in the world; but sin cannot be charged against someone where no Law exists.
14 Malgre sa, lanmò te renye soti nan Adam jiska Moïse, menm sou sila ki pa t fè peche yo sanblab ak ofans Adam an, ki se te yon pòtre a Sila ki te gen pou vini an.
Yet, from Adam to Moses, death reigned even over those whose sin was not a breach of a law, as Adam’s was. And Adam foreshadows the one to come.
15 Men kado gratis la pa sanble avèk transgresyon an. Paske si akoz transgresyon a yon sèl moun, anpil moun te mouri, menm bokou plis ke sa, lagras Bondye, ak kado pa lagras a yon sèl òm, Jésus Kri, vin jistifye anpil moun.
But there is a contrast between Adam’s offence and God’s gracious gift. For, if by reason of the offence of the one man the whole human race died, far more were the loving kindness of God, and the gift given in the loving kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ, lavished on the whole human race.
16 Kado a se pa tankou sila ki te vini pa moun ki te peche a; paske jijman an te sòti nan yon sèl transgresyon ki te bay rezilta a kondanasyon, men kado gratis la, ki te soti akoz anpil transgresyon yo, te bay kon rezilta a, jistifikasyon.
There is a contrast, too, between the gift and the results of the one man’s sin. The judgment, which followed on the one man’s sin, resulted in condemnation, but God’s gracious gift, which followed on many offences, resulted in a decree of righteousness.
17 Paske si pa transgresyon a yon moun, lanmò te renye akoz li menm, bokou plis ke sa, sila ki resevwa gras an abondans ak kado ladwati a, ap renye nan lavi atravè Li menm, Jésus Kri.
For if, by reason of the offence of the one man, death reigned through that one man, far more will those, on whom God’s loving kindness and his gift of righteousness are lavished, find life, and reign through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18 Konsa, kòm pa yon transgresyon, kondanasyon a tout moun te rive, menm jan an ak yon sèl aksyon ladwati te rive jistifikasyon anvè lavi pou tout moun.
Briefly then, just as a single offence resulted for all humanity in condemnation, so, too, a single decree of righteousness resulted for all humanity in that declaration of righteousness which brings life.
19 Paske menm jan ke dezobeyisans a yon moun te fè tout moun vin pechè, menm jan an, obeyisans a yon moun va fè anpil moun vin jis.
For, as through the disobedience of the one man the whole human race was rendered sinful, so, too, through the obedience of the one, the whole human race will be rendered righteous.
20 Lalwa a te vini pou transgresyon an te kapab vin plis, men kote peche te vin plis lagras te abonde pi plis toujou.
Law was introduced in order that offences might be multiplied. But, where sins were multiplied, the loving kindness of God was lavished the more,
21 Konsa, menm jan ke peche te renye nan lanmò, konsa tou lagras te renye pa ladwati, jiska lavi etènèl nan Jésus Kri Senyè nou an. (aiōnios g166)
in order that, just as sin had reigned in the realm of death, so, too, might loving-kindness reign through righteousness, and result in eternal life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
