Ròm 12
1 Se sak fè, frè m' yo, jan Bondye fè nou wè li gen kè sansib pou nou an, se pou nou ofri tout kò nou ba li tankou ofrann bèt yo mete apa pou Bondye, bèt yo ofri tou vivan epi k'ap fè Bondye plezi. Se sèl jan nou dwe sèvi Bondye tout bon.
I entreat you, then, friends, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, for this is your rational worship.
2 Pa fè menm bagay ak sa moun ap fè sou latè. Men, kite Bondye chanje lavi nou nèt lè la fin chanje tout lide ki nan tèt nou. Lè sa a, n'a ka konprann sa Bondye vle, n'a konnen sa ki byen, sa ki fè l' plezi, sa ki bon nèt ale. (aiōn g165)
Do not conform to the fashion of this world; but be transformed by the complete change that has come over your minds, so that you may discern what God’s will is – all that is good, acceptable, and perfect. (aiōn g165)
3 Poutèt favè Bondye fè m' lan, men sa m'ap mande nou tout: Piga nou mete nan tèt nou nou plis pase sa nou ye. Okontrè, pa mete gwo lide nan tèt nou. Se pou chak moun konsidere tèt li dapre sa Bondye ba li ki pa l' nan lafwa.
In fulfilment of the charge with which I have been entrusted, I tell every one of you not to think more highly of themselves than they ought to think, but to think until they learn to think soberly – in accordance with the measure of faith that God has allotted to each.
4 Gade byen: nou gen anpil manm nan yon sèl kò, men chak manm gen sèvis pa l' apa.
For, just as in the human body there is a union of many parts, and each part has its own function,
5 Se konsa tou, nou anpil, men nou fè yon sèl kò ansanm ak Kris la. Nou tout nou fè yon sèl kò tou yonn ak lòt, tankou plizyè manm nan yon sèl kò.
so we, by our union in Christ, many though we are, form but one body, and individually we are related one to another as its parts.
6 Bondye pa bay tout moun menm don. Men, nou fèt pou nou sèvi ak kado a dapre favè Bondye fè nou an. Si yon moun resevwa don pou l' anonse mesaj ki sòti nan Bondye, se pou l' fè sa dapre lafwa li genyen an.
Since our gifts differ in accordance with the particular charge entrusted to us, if our gift is to preach, let our preaching correspond to our faith;
7 Si yon lòt resevwa don pou l' fè yon travay, se pou l' fè travay la. Moun ki resevwa don pou l' moutre lòt anpil bagay, se sa pou l' fè.
if it is to minister to others, let us devote ourselves to our ministry; the teacher to their teaching,
8 Moun ki resevwa don pou l' bay ankourajman, se pou li bay ankourajman. Moun k'ap bay nan sa li genyen an, se pou l' fè sa san gad dèyè. Moun k'ap dirije a, se pou l' fè sa byen. Moun k'ap moutre jan li gen kè sansib la, se pou li fè sa ak kè kontan.
the counselor to their counsel. Let the person who gives in charity do so with a generous heart; let the person who is in authority exercise due diligence; let the person who shows kindness do so in a cheerful spirit.
9 Se pou nou yonn renmen lòt ak tout kè nou. Rayi sa ki mal, men kenbe fèm nan fè sa ki byen.
Let your love be sincere. Hate the wrong; cling to the right.
10 Se pou nou yonn renmen lòt tankou frè ak frè k'ap viv ansanm ak Kris la. Nan tou sa n'ap fè, se pou nou gen respè yonn pou lòt, pa konsidere tèt nou anvan.
In the love of the community of the Lord’s followers, be affectionate to one another; in showing respect, set an example of deference to one another;
11 Travay di, pa fè parese. Mete aktivite nan sèvis n'ap rann Mèt la.
never flagging in zeal; fervent in spirit; serving the Master;
12 Pandan n'ap tann lan, fè kè n' kontan. Se pou nou gen anpil pasyans nan mitan soufrans nou yo. Pa janm sispann lapriyè.
rejoicing in your hope; steadfast under persecution; persevering in prayer;
13 Bay moun k'ap viv pou Bondye yo konkou lè nou wè yo nan bezwen. Resevwa moun ki vin lakay nou byen.
relieving the wants of Christ’s people; devoted to hospitality.
14 Mande Bondye pou l' beni moun k'ap pèsekite nou; mande benediksyon, pa mande madichon pou yo.
Bless your persecutors – bless and never curse.
15 Fè kè n' kontan ak moun ki kontan, kriye ak moun k'ap kriye.
Rejoice with those who are rejoicing, and weep with those who are weeping.
16 Viv byen yonn ak lòt. Pa kite lògèy moute tèt nou. Viv tankou moun ki san pretansyon. Pa kwè nou gen pi bon konprann pase sa.
Let the same spirit of sympathy animate you all, not a spirit of pride; enjoy the company of ordinary people. Do not think too highly of yourselves.
17 Si yon moun fè nou mal, pa chache fè l' mal tou. Chache fè sa ki byen nan je tout moun.
Never return injury for injury. Aim at doing what everyone will recognise as honourable.
18 Fè tou sa nou kapab pou nou viv byen ak tout moun mezi nou wè nou ka fè li.
If it is possible, as far as rests with you, live peaceably with everyone.
19 Mezanmi, pa tire revanj. Men, kite kòlè Bondye fè travay li; paske men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Se mwen menm sèl ki gen dwa tire rèvanj, se mwen menm sèl ki va bay moun sa yo merite. Se Bondye menm ki di sa.
Never avenge yourselves, dear friends, but make way for the wrath of God; for scripture declares – “‘It is for me to avenge, I will requite,’ says the Lord.”
20 Okontrè, dapre sa ki ekri ankò: Si lènmi ou grangou, ba l' manje. Si li swaf dlo, ba l' bwè. Lè ou fè sa, se yon chalè dife ou mete nan kò l' pou fè l' chanje.
Rather – “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him to drink. By doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Pa kite sa ki mal gen pye sou ou. Okontrè, fè sa ki byen pou n' kraze sa ki mal.
Never be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
