Romans 10
1 My brothers and sisters, my heart's desire—my prayer to God—is for the salvation of the people of Israel!
Frè m' yo, jan m' ta renmen wè jwif yo sove! Jan mwen pa manke lapriyè Bondye pou yo!
2 I can testify to their passionate dedication to God, but it's not based on knowing him as he truly is.
Paske, m'ap kanpe di sa pou yo: yo devwe anpil pou sèvis Bondye a, men yo manke konprann.
3 They don't understand how God makes us right with him, and they try to make themselves right. They refuse to accept God's way of making people right.
Yo pa t' konprann ki jan Bondye t'ap fè lèzòm gras. Yo te pito chache fè sa nan jan pa yo. Se konsa yo pa t' asepte jan Bondye te vle fè l' la.
4 For Christ is the fulfillment of the law. All those who trust in him are made right.
Paske, avèk Kris la, lalwa a jwenn bout li. Konsa, Bondye fè tout moun ki kwè nan Kris la gras.
5 Moses wrote, “Whoever does what is right by obeying the law will live.”
Koute: men sa Moyiz te ekri pou esplike ki jan Bondye fè yon moun gras lè l' fè sa lalwa a mande: Moun ki va fè sa lalwa a mande li fè a, va jwenn lavi l' ladan li.
6 But the attitude of doing right that comes from trust says this: “Don't ask ‘who'll go to heaven?’ (asking to bring Christ down),”
Men, men sa yo di pou esplike ki jan Bondye fè yon moun gras lè l' kwè: Piga ou di nan kè ou: Kilès ki va moute nan syèl la? (Sa vle di: pou fè Kris la desann soti ladan li.)
7 or “‘who'll go to the place of the dead?’ (asking to bring Christ back from the dead).” (Abyssos g12)
Ou ankò: Kilès ki va desann anba nan gwo twou san fon an? (Sa vle di: pou fè Kris la leve soti vivan pami mò yo.) (Abyssos g12)
8 What Scripture actually says is: “The message is very close to you—it's what you talk about and what's in your mind.” In fact it's this message based on trust that we're presenting.
Kisa yo di ankò? Men sa yo di: Pawòl la toupre ou, li nan bouch ou, li nan kè ou. Epi pawòl la se mesaj konfyans nan Bondye, mesaj n'ap anonse a.
9 For if you declare that you accept Jesus as Lord, and you are convinced in your mind that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved.
Si ou deklare ak bouch ou devan tout moun Jezi se Seyè a, si ou kwè tout bon nan kè ou Bondye te fè l' leve soti vivan pami mò yo, wa sove.
10 Your trust in God makes you right and good, and your declaration of accepting God saves you.
Paske, lè yon moun gen konfyans tout bon nan kè l', se lè sa a Bondye fè l' gras. Lè yon moun deklare ak bouch li devan tout moun li gen konfyans nan Bondye, se lè sa a Bondye delivre li,
11 As Scripture says, “Those who trust in him will not be disappointed.”
dapre sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Nenpòt moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li p'ap janm soti wont.
12 There's no difference between Jew and Greek—for the same Lord is Lord of everyone, and he gives generously to everyone who asks him.
Konsa, nanpwen diferans ant moun ki jwif ak moun ki pa jwif: yo tout gen yon sèl Mèt ki bay tout moun ki rele l' favè l' an kantite.
13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Se sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Nenpòt moun ki rele non Met la gen pou jwenn delivrans.
14 But how can people call on someone they don't trust? How can they trust someone they haven't heard about? How can they hear unless they're told?
Ki jan y'a fè rele l', si yo poko gen konfyans nan li? Ki jan pou yo gen konfyans nan li, si yo pa tande pale sou li? Ki jan pou yo tande pale sou li,
15 How can they go out and tell others unless they're sent? Just as Scripture says, “Those who come bringing the good news are truly welcome!”
si pa gen pesonn pou fè konnen mesaj la? Ki jan pou yo fè fè konnen mesaj la, si pa gen moun yo voye pou sa? Dapre sa ki te ekri a: Ala bèl bagay lè ou wè moun k'ap pote yon bon nouvèl ap vini!
16 But not everyone has accepted the good news. As Isaiah asks: “Lord, who trusted in the news they heard from us?”
Men, se pa tout ki asepte bon nouvèl la. Se poutèt sa Ezayi te di: Mèt, kilès ki te kwè mesaj nou te bay la?
17 Trusting in God comes from hearing—hearing the message of Christ.
Konsa, se lè ou tande mesaj la ou vin gen konfyans. Mesaj la, se pawòl Kris la y'ap anonse.
18 It's not that they haven't heard. Quite the opposite: “The voices of those speaking for God have been heard all over the earth—their message went out to the whole world.”
Men, m'ap mande: Eske Izrayèl pa t' tande mesaj la? Men wi. Yo tande l' byen pwòp. Paske, jan sa te ekri nan Liv la: Pawòl nan bouch yo gaye sou tout latè. Mesaj yo bay la rive nan dènye bout latè.
19 So my question is, “Didn't Israel know?” First of all Moses says, “I'll make you jealous by using people who aren't even a nation; I will make you angry by using ignorant foreigners!”
Men, m'ap mande ankò: Eske Izrayèl pa t' konprann sa? Pou kòmanse, men repons Moyiz bay: M'ap fè nou fè jalouzi pou moun ki pa menm yon nasyon tout bon. M'ap fè nou fè kòlè poutèt yon pèp ki san konprann.
20 Then Isaiah said it even more strongly: “I was found by people who weren't even looking for me; I revealed myself to people who weren't even asking for me.”
Ezayi menm pouse radiyès li pi lwen toujou lè l' di: Moun ki pa t'ap chache m' yo, se yo menm ki jwenn mwen. Moun ki pa t'ap mande pou mwen yo, se yo menm mwen fè wè mwen.
21 As God says to Israel, “All day long I reached out my hands to a disobedient and stubborn people.”
Men, men sa li di sou Izrayèl: Tout lajounen m'ap lonje men m' bay yon pèp ki rebèl, k'ap fè wòklò.
