Romans 2

1 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 practice the same things.

Monchè, nenpòt sa ou ye, ou menm k'ap jije lòt moun yo, ou pa gen eskiz. Ou menm k'ap fè menm bagay ak lòt yo, se pwòp tèt pa ou w'ap kondannen lè w'ap jije yo.

2 We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.

Nou konnen Bondye ap jije moun k'ap fè bagay sa yo, epi l'ap jije yo yon jan k'ap dakò ak verite a.

3 Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

Monchè, ou menm k'ap jije moun k'ap fè bagay sa yo epi k'ap aji menm jan an tou, èske ou kwè wa chape anba jijman Bondye a?

4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

Osinon, èske se meprize w'ap meprize Bondye ki gen bon kè anpil, ki gen pasyans anpil, ki sipòte nou anpil? Se konnen ou pa konnen se pou l' ka rele ou vin chanje lavi ou kifè Bondye gen bon kè konsa?

5 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 judgment of God,

Men, w'ap fè tèt di. Ou pa soti pou chanje lavi ou. Se poutèt sa, w'ap pare yon pi gwo chatiman mete la tann ou pou jou Bondye va fè wè kòlè li ansanm ak jijman li k'ap fèt san patipri.

6 who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”

Lè sa a, Bondye va bay chak moun sa yo merite dapre sa yo fè.

7 to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; (aiōnios g166)

Moun ki pa janm sispann fè byen, k'ap chache lwanj ak respè, k'ap chache mwayen pou yo pa janm mouri, moun sa yo va resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. (aiōnios g166)

8 but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,

Men, moun k'ap kenbe tèt ak Bondye, k'ap refize asepte verite a pou fè sa ki pa bon, moun sa yo, yo fè Bondye fache. Kòlè l' va tonbe sou yo.

9 oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Anpil soufrans ak anpil lapenn pou tout moun ki lage kò yo nan fè sa ki mal, pou jwif yo an premye, apre yo pou moun lòt nasyon yo.

10 But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Men, Bondye va bay tout moun k'ap fè sa ki byen lwanj, respè ak kè poze, jwif yo an premye, apre yo moun lòt nasyon yo.

11 For there is no partiality with God.

Paske, Bondye pa gade sou figi moun.

12 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.

Tout moun ki pa t' konn lalwa Moyiz la epi ki fè sa ki mal, y'ap peri san lalwa pa reskonsab. Men, tout moun ki konnen lalwa a epi ki fè sa ki mal, y'ap pase anba jijman dapre lalwa a.

13 For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

Moun ki mache dwat devan Bondye, se pa moun k'ap tande lalwa a nan zòrèy yo sèlman, men se moun ki fè sa lalwa a mande.

14 (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,

Moun lòt nasyon yo ki pa gen lalwa Moyiz la, yo fè sa lalwa a mande san yo pa konnen. Yo menm ki pa gen lalwa Moyiz la, yo tounen yon lwa pou pwòp tèt pa yo menm si yo pa t' konn lalwa a.

15 in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)

Konsa, yo moutre ki jan sa lalwa Moyiz mande a ekri nan kè yo. Konsyans yo moutre sa tou paske yon lè konsyans yo repwoche yo sa yo fè, yon lòt lè konsyans yo dakò ak sa yo fè.

16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Yeshua the Messiah.

Dapre bon nouvèl m'ap anonse a, se sa menm ki gen pou rive lè Bondye va voye Jezikri pou jije tou sa lèzòm t'ap fè an kachèt.

17 Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,

Ou menm yo rele jwif la, ou apiye kò ou sou lalwa a. W'ap vante tèt ou dèske ou konn Bondye.

18 know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

Ou konnen sa Bondye vle ou fè; lalwa a moutre ou ki jan pou ou chwazi sa ki byen.

19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

Ou mete nan tèt ou ou ka moutre moun ki pa wè yo chemen pou yo pran. Ou konprann se yon limyè ou ye pou moun ki nan fènwa,

20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.

yon pwofesè lekòl pou timoun; ou kwè ou ka moutre moun ki pa konnen anyen yo anpil bagay. Ou mete tou sa nan tèt ou paske ou sèten ou jwenn tout konesans ak tout verite nan lalwa a.

21 You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who proclaim that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?

Enben, ou menm k'ap bay lòt yo leson, poukisa ou pa bay tèt ou leson tou?

22 You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

W'ap mande moun pou yo pa vòlò, epi w'ap vòlò: w'ap dèfann moun fè adiltè epi ou menm, w'ap fè adiltè! Ou di ou rayi zidòl, epi w'ap piye tanp zidòl yo!

23 You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?

Wi, ou menm k'ap vante tèt ou deske ou gen lalwa Bondye a ou se yon wont pou Bondye, pou jan w'ap dezobeyi lalwa a!

24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.

Se sa menm ki te ekri: Se nou menm jwif yo ki lakòz moun lòt nasyon yo ap plede pale Bondye mal konsa.

25 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.

Si ou fè sa lalwa a mande ou fè, sikonsizyon an gen valè pou ou. Men, si w'ap dezobeyi lalwa a, se tankou si ou pa t' janm sikonsi.

26 If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?

Lè yon moun lòt nasyon ki pa sikonsi fè sa lalwa a mande, èske Bondye p'ap gade li tankou yon moun ki sikonsi?

27 Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?

Moun lòt nasyon yo ki pa sikonsi men k'ap obeyi lalwa a, yo gen pou yo jije ou, ou menm jwif k'ap dezobeyi lalwa a atout ou gen liv lalwa a nan men ou, atout ou sikonsi a.

28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;

Se pa moun ki gen aparans jwif ki jwif tout bon. Se pa sikonsizyon ki kite mak nan kò moun ki sikonsizyon tout bon an.

29 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.

Jwif ki jwif tout bon, se moun ki jwif nan kè yo. Sikonsizyon tout bon an, se sikonsizyon ki make kè moun. Sa se travay Lespri Bondye a, se pa travay lalwa ki ekri nan liv. Lwanj yon jwif konsa pa soti nan men moun, men nan men Bondye.
