Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
Se mwen menm Pòl, sèvitè Jezikri, yon nonm Bondye rele pou sèvi li apòt, yon nonm li mete apa pou anonse bon nouvèl li a, k'ap ekri nou tout kretyen ki nan lavil Wòm.
2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
Depi lontan Bondye te pwomèt bon nouvèl sa a pa bouch pwofèt li yo, nan Liv Sentespri te fè yo ekri a.
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
Bon Nouvèl sa a pale nou sou Pitit li a, Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Lè pou l' te fèt tankou yon moun, Jezi soti nan fanmi wa David.
4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
Men, dapre Sentespri ki fè nou viv pou Bondye, li te fè nou wè avèk pouvwa se Pitit Bondye a li ye, lè l' te leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake;
Gremesi Jezikri sa a, Bondye fè m' favè pou m' travay tankou apòt, pou m' mennen moun tout nasyon, nan non menm Kris la, pou yo vin kwè nan li, pou yo obeyi li.
6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
Nou menm kretyen ki nan lavil Wòm, nou fè pati nasyon sa yo tou: Bondye rele nou pou n' antre nan fanmi Jezikri a.
7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Se sak fè m'ap ekri nou, nou menm Bondye renmen anpil, nou menm Bondye rele pou viv apa pou li. Mwen mande Bondye, Papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
Anvan m' di nou lòt bagay, kite m' di Bondye mèsi pou nou gremesi Jezikri. Paske, toupatou sou latè y'ap pale jan nou gen konfyans nan Bondye.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,
Mwen pran Bondye pou temwen, Bondye m'ap sèvi ak tout kè mwen lè m'ap anonse bon nouvèl Pitit li a. Se toutan m'ap nonmen non nou;
10 requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
se san rete m'ap lapriyè pou nou; m'ap mande Bondye pou l' kite mwen vin vizite nou yon lè konsa, si se volonte li.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;
Se pa ti anvi mwen pa anvi wè nou pou m' separe ak nou kèk benediksyon Bondye ban mwen, pou n' kapab vin pi fèm.
12 that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
Mwen vle di pito, pou m' ta la nan mitan nou, pou yonn kapab ankouraje lòt ak konfyans nou gen ansanm nan menm Bondye a.
13 Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (and was hindered so far), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.
Frè m' yo, mwen vle nou konn sa: plizyè fwa menm, mwen fè lide al vizite nou, pou jan mwen te anvi wè travay mwen bay bon rezilta nan mitan nou menm jan li bay bon rezilta nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Men, chak fwa mwen jwenn anpechman, jouk koulye a.
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
Se yon devwa pou mwen pou m' anonse bon nouvèl la bay tout moun: kit yo eklere, kit yo pa eklere, kit yo konn li, kit yo pa konn li.
15 So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
Se poutèt sa, m' anvi vin anonse bon nouvèl la ban nou, nou menm ki rete lavil Wòm.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
Mwen pa wont anonse bon nouvèl la: se pouvwa Bondye ki la pou delivre tout moun ki kwè, jwif yo an premye, apre yo moun lòt nasyon yo tou.
17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
Bon nouvèl sa a fè nou wè ki jan Bondye fè moun gras. Travay sa a, li kòmanse ak konfyans moun gen nan Bondye, li fini nan menm konfyans la tou, jan sa te ekri a: Moun Bondye fè gras paske li gen konfyans nan Bondye, se li menm ki va gen lavi.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
Se poutèt sa, n'ap wè kòlè Bondye soti nan syèl la, li tonbe sou tout mechanste ak tout lenjistis moun fè. Sitèlman kè yo pa bon, y'ap chache anpeche verite a fè travay li.
19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.
Bondye ap peni yo tou paske tou sa yo ka konnen sou Bondye parèt byen klè devan je yo. Se Bondye menm ki fè sa konsa pou yo.
20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. (aïdios g126)
Se vre wi. Depi Bondye te fin kreye tout bagay, tout moun ki egzaminen travay li yo ka konprann ki kalite moun Bondye ye, bagay nou pa ka wè ak je nou: ki vle di, jan li gen yon pouvwa ki p'ap janm fini, jan li se Bondye tout bon. Se sak fè moun sa yo pa gen eskiz menm. (aïdios g126)
21 Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.
Yo te konn Bondye byen pwòp, men yo pa bay Bondye lwanj ki pou li, yo pa di l' mèsi jan l' merite l' la. Lekontrè, y'ap mete yon bann lide ki pa gen sans nan tèt yo, yo san konprann, fènwa fin plen kè yo.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Y'ap mache di se moun lespri yo ye. Men, se fou yo fin fou.
23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.
Pase pou yo adore Bondye ki p'ap janm mouri a ak tout bèl bagay li yo, yo pito sèvi pòtre moun ki gen pou mouri, pòtre zwazo, pòtre bèt kat pa t' ak bèt ki trennen sou vant.
24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;
Lèzòm vin sitèlman fou, Bondye kite yo tonbe nan fè tout kalite bagay ki pa dakò ak volonte li dapre vye lanvi ki nan kè yo. Se yon wont pou wè sa yo fè ak pwòp kò yo.
25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Yo mete manti nan plas verite Bondye a. Yo pito adore kreyati Bondye, yo pito sèvi yo pase pou yo adore Bondye ki kreye yo a, li menm ki merite pou n' fè lwanj li tout tan. Amèn. (aiōn g165)
26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.
Se poutèt sa, Bondye kite yo fè sa yo pito. Men, se sa k'ap avili yo tou: fanm pa vle sèvi ak kò yo jan yo dwe; yo pito fè sa ki pa bon.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
Se konsa tou, gason derefize sèvi ak fanm jan sa te dwe fèt. Yo pran dife yonn pou lòt: gason fè malpwòpte ak gason parèy yo. Yo pèdi tèt yo nèt. Men tou, yo resevwa nan kò yo penisyon yo merite a.
28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
Yo refize bay Bondye premye plas nan kè yo. Bondye tou kite yo tonbe anba pouvwa lespri yo ki fin deraye pou yo fè bagay yo pa t' dwe fè.
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
Men sèl lide ki nan tèt yo: se fè tout kalite lenjistis, tout kalite mechanste, se anvi sò moun, se fè rayisab. Se sa sèlman ki nan kè yo: fè jalouzi, touye moun, chache moun kont, fè riz, fè koken. Yo tripòt konsa.
30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Yonn pale lòt mal. Yo pa vle wè Bondye, yo ensolan, yo awogan, yo grandizè. Yo toujou ap chache lòt jan pou fè sa ki mal, yo fwonte ak paran yo.
31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;
Yo san konsyans, yo pa kenbe pawòl yo. Kè yo di konsa, yo san pitye pou lòt moun.
32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
Yo konn jijman Bondye a byen pwòp: yo konnen moun ki fè bagay sa yo merite lanmò. Atousa, y'ap plede fè yo toujou. Sa ki pi rèd, yo dakò ak moun k'ap fè yo tou.
