Ròm 7
1 Oubyen èske nou pa konnen, frè m yo, (m ap pale avèk sila ki konnen Lalwa yo), ke Lalwa gen pouvwa sou yon moun pandan tout tan ke li vivan?
Remember ye not brethren (I speake to them yt know the lawe) how that the lawe hath power over a man as longe as it endureth?
2 Paske yon fanm ki marye vin mare pa lalwa a mari li pandan mari li vivan, men si mari li mouri, fanm nan vin lib de lalwa ak sa ki konsène mari li a.
For the woman which is in subieccion to a man is bounde by the lawe to the man as longe as he liveth. Yf the man be deed she is lowsed from the lawe of the man.
3 Kidonk, si li vin jwenn yon lòt gason pandan mari li vivan an, yo va rele li yon adiltè, men si mari a mouri, li va lib de lwa a pou li pa yon adiltè, malgre li jwenn yon lòt gason.
So then yf whill the man liveth she couple her selfe with another man she shalbe counted a wedlocke breaker. But yf the man be deed she is fre fro the lawe: so that she is no wedlocke breaker though she couple her selfe with another man.
4 Donk Frè m yo, nou menm tou nan kò Kris la, nou te oblije mouri a Lalwa a pou nou te kapab vin jwenn yon lòt, a Sila ki te leve soti nan lanmò a pou nou menm ta kapab pote fwi pou Bondye.
Even so ye my brethren are deed concerninge the lawe by the body of Christ yt ye shuld be coupled to another (I meane to him that is rysen agayne fro deeth) that we shuld bringe forth frute vnto God.
5 Paske pandan nou te nan lachè, Lalwa a te fè move pasyon yo leve nan nou, ki t ap travay nan manm kò nou yo, pou donnen fwi pou lanmò.
For when we were in the flesshe the lustes of synne which were stered vppe by ye lawe raygned in oure membres to bringe forth frute vnto deeth.
6 Men koulye a nou gen tan fin lage de lwa sa a. Kòmsi nou te mouri de sa ki te mare nou an e koulye a nou sèvi yon lòt jan avèk yon Lespri de nouvo, e pa nan lansyen sistèm a lèt lalwa a.
But now are we delivered fro the lawe and deed fro that whervnto we werein bondage that we shuld serve in a newe conversacion of ye sprete and not in ye olde conversacion of the letter.
7 Donk kisa nou kapab di? Èske Lalwa se peche? Pa janm kite nou panse sa! Okontrè, mwen pa t ap konnen peche sof ke Lalwa te montre m li. Mwen pa t ap konnen anyen sou “lanvi” si se pa Lalwa ki di m “Ou pa pou gen lanvi”.
What shall we saye then? is ye lawe synne? God forbid: but I knewe not what synne meant but by the lawe. For I had not knowne what lust had meant excepte the lawe had sayde thou shalt not lust.
8 Men peche, ki te pran opòtinite atravèLalwa a, te prodwi nan mwen lanvi de tout kalite; paske san Lalwa a, peche mouri.
But synne toke an occasion by the meanes of the commaundement and wrought in me all manner of concupiscece. For with out the lawe synne was deed.
9 Yon fwa, mwen te vivan separe de Lalwa a, men lè kòmandman an te vini, peche te pran lavi, e mwen te mouri.
I once lived with out lawe. But when the commaundement came synne revyved and I was deed.
10 Konsa, kòmandman sa a ki te fèt pou bay lavi a, te bay lanmò kòm rezilta pou mwen.
And the very same comaundement which was ordeyned vnto lyfe was founde to be vnto me an occasion of deeth.
11 Paske peche, ki te pran opòtinite pa kòmandman an, te twonpe mwen e akoz sa, te touye mwen.
For synne toke occasion by the meanes of the comaundement and so disceaved me and by the selfe commaundement slewe we.
12 Alò, konsa Lalwa a sen, e kòmandman an sen, jis e bon.
Wherfore the lawe is holy and the commaundement holy iust and good.
13 Donk èske li posib ke sa ki te bon ta devni kòz lanmò mwen? Ke nou pa janm panse sa! Olye de sa, se te peche ki te fè sa a, pou li ta fè m wè sa ke peche ye. Konsa li te fè m mouri ak sa ki bon an, pouke selon kòmandman an, li ta montre m kijan peche kondane nan nivo ki piwo a.
Was that then which is good made deeth vnto me? God forbyd. Naye synne was deeth vnto me that it myght appere how that synne by the meanes of that which is good had wrought deeth in me: that synne which is vnder the commandemet myght be out of measure synfull.
14 Paske nou konnen ke Lalwa a baze sou lespri Bondye a menm. Men mwen menm se chè. Mwen te vann kòm esklav a peche.
For we knowe that the lawe is spirituall: but I am carnall solde vnder synne
15 Paske sa ke m ap fè yo, mwen pa konprann yo. Mwen p ap pratike sa ke m ta renmen fè, men m ap fè bagay ke m rayi.
because I wote not what I doo. For what I wold that do I not: but what I hate that do I.
16 Men si m fè bagay m pito pa vle fè a, mwen vin dakò avèk Lalwa a, e admèt ke Lalwa a bon.
Yf I do now that which I wolde not I graute to the lawe that it is good.
17 Donk Koulye a se pa mwen k ap fè l la ankò, men se peche ki rete nan mwen an.
So then nowe it is not I that do it but synne that dwelleth in me.
18 Paske mwen konnen ke anyen ki bon pa rete nan mwen, sa vle di nan chè mwen. Paske bòn volonte a prezan nan mwen, men pou fè sa ki bon an pa janm fèt.
For I knowe that in me (that is to saye in my flesshe) dwelleth no good thinge. To will is present with me: but I fynde no meanes to performe that which is good.
19 Paske bon bagay ke mwen vle a, mwen pa janm fè li, men mwen pratike menm mal ke m pi pa vle a.
For I doo not yt good thinge which I wold: but that evill do I which I wolde not.
20 Men si mwen ap fè menm bagay ke m pi pa vle a, mwen pa moun k ap fè l la ankò, men se peche ki rete nan mwen an.
Finally yf I do that I wolde not then is it not I that doo it but synne that dwelleth in me doeth it.
21 Donk, mwen twouve kòmprensip ke mal toujou prezan nan mwen, mwen menm ki vle fè sa ki bon an.
I fynde then by the lawe that when I wolde do good evyll is present with me.
22 Paske, plen ak lajwa, mwen vin dakò avèk Lalwa Bondye ki aji andedan an,
I delite in the lawe of God concerninge the inner man.
23 men nan manm kò mwen, mwen wè yon lòt lwa k ap goumen kont Lalwa volonte lespri mwen an e k ap fè m prizonye lwa peche ki nan manm mwen yo.
But I se another lawe in my membres rebellinge agaynst the lawe of my mynde and subduynge me vnto the lawe of synne which is in my membres.
24 Moun mizerab ke mwen ye! Ki moun k ap libere m soti nan kò lanmò sa a?
O wretched man yt I am: who shall delyver me fro this body of deeth?
25 Mèsi a Bondye atravè Jésus Kri Senyè nou an! Konsa, yon kote, nan panse m, m ap sèvi Lalwa Bondye a. Men yon lòt kote, avèk chè mwen, m ap sèvi lalwa peche a.
I thanke God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde. So then I my silfe in my mynde serve the lawe of God and in my flesshe the lawe of synne.
