Ròm 1
1 Paul, yon sèvitè-atache nèt a Jésus Kri, aple kòm apot mete apa pou bòn nouvèl Bondye a,
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2 ke Li te pwomèt oparavan atravè pwofèt Li yo nan Ekriti Sen Yo,
(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures, )
3 konsènan Fis Li a ki te ne de yon desandan David selon lachè,
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4 ki te deklare Fis Bondye a avèk pouvwa akoz rezirèksyon Li, ki te fè L sòti nan lanmò, atravè Lespri sentete a, Jésus Kri, Senyè nou an.
And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
5 Pa Li menm nou te resevwa gras e te rele kòm apot pou fè parèt obeyisans lafwa a pami tout etranje yo pou koz Sen Non Li.
By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
6 Pami sila yo nou menm osi te rele pa Jésus Kri.
Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
7 A tout sila yo ke Bondye renmen anpil nan Rome, ke Li te rele kòm sen yo: gras anvè nou avèk lapè ki sòti nan Bondye, Papa nou, ak Senyè a Jésus Kri.
To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Premyèman mwen remèsye Bondye mwen an selon Jésus Kri pou nou tout, ke lafwa nou ap pwoklame toupatou nan lemond.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
9 Paske Bondye ke mwen sèvi nan lespri mwen lè m preche levanjil Fis Li a, se temwen m ke m ap nonmen non nou san rete nan lapriyè mwen yo.
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
10 Toujou nan priyè mwen yo, m ap mande Bondye nan volonte L, dènyèman, pou L kite m vin wè nou.
Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
11 Paske mwen anvi wè nou pou m kapab bannou kèk don Lespri a, pou nou kapab byen etabli.
For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
12 Sa vle di, pou mwen menm kapab ankouraje ansanm avèk nou pandan mwen pami nou, nou chak pa lafwa a lòt, lafwa pa nou ak lafwa pa m tou.
That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
13 Mwen pa vle nou pa okouran, frè m yo, ke souvan mwen konn fè plan pou vin wè nou (malgre sa pa t realize). Mwen ta renmen sa fèt pou m kapab rekòlte kèk fwi pami nou tou, menm jan ak tout lòt nasyon etranje yo.
Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
14 Mwen gen obligasyon ni pou Grèk ni pou moun ki baba; ni pou sila ki saj ni pou sila ki ensanse yo.
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
15 Donk, Pou pati pa m, mwen gen gwo anvi pou preche levanjil la a nou menm osi ki nan Rome.
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
16 Paske mwen pa wont de levanjil la paske se li ki pouvwa Bondye a pou sove tout moun ki kwè yo. Li la avan pou Jwif la, e dabò Grèk la tou.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 Paske se nan levanjil sa a ke ladwati Bondye revele soti nan lafwa pou rive nan lafwa, jan sa ekri a: “Men moun ki jis la ap viv pa lafwa”.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 Paske lakòlè Bondye parèt soti nan syèl la kont tout enkwayans ak tout enjistis a lòm ki kache verite a ak enjistis.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Paske sa ke tout moun konnen de Bondye a, byen klè pou yo, paske Bondye te fè l parèt a klè.
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.
20 Paske depi nan kreyasyon mond lan tout aspè envizib Li yo, pouvwa etènèl Li ak nati diven Li an te parèt byen a klè. Sa byen konprann menm selon sa Li te kreye. Konsa, yo rete san eskiz. (aïdios g126)
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (aïdios g126)
21 Paske malgre yo te konnen Bondye, yo pa t bay Li lonè kòm Bondye, ni bay Li remèsiman, men yo te vin egare nan panse yo. Yo te vin ranpli avèk foli, e kè yo te vin fonse tounwa.
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Nan pretann ke yo te saj, yo te vin fou,
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 epi te ranplase laglwa a Bondye enkonwonpi a pou yon imaj ki sanblab a lòm konwonpi ak zwazo, bèt kat pye, ak bèt k ap rale sou vant yo.
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Konsa Bondye te livre yo a konvwatiz kè yo ak tout sa ki pa pwòp, pou kò yo te kapab dezonore pami yo menm.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Paske yo te ranplase verite Bondye a ak yon bann manti, yo te adore e sèvi kreyati a olye de Kreyatè a, ki beni pou tout tan an. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Pou rezon sila a Bondye te livre yo a pasyon k ap avili yo. Paske fanm pa yo te ranplase fonksyon lanati a pa sa ki pa nan nati a.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 Epi menm jan mesye yo te abandone fonksyon natirèl fanm nan pou vin boule nan dezi anvè youn pou lòt; gason avèk gason k ap fè zak malpwòp e k ap resevwa nan pwòp kò pa yo pinisyon yo merite pou erè yo a.
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 Menm jan yo pa t trouve l bon ankò pou rekonèt Bondye, Bondye te livre yo a yon panse tòde pou fè bagay ki pa pwòp sa yo.
And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Yo te vin ranpli avèk tout kalite enjistis, mechanste, konvwatiz, ak mal. Yo te plen ak anvi, touye moun, konfli, desepsyon, malis, tripotay.
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Yo vin Medizan, lènmi a Bondye, ensolan, awogan, ògeye, envantè a mechanste dezobeyisan a paran yo,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 san konprann, san entegrite san lanmou, e san mizerikòd.
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Malgre yo konnen òdonans Bondye a, ke sila ki pratike bagay sa yo merite lanmò, yo non sèlman fè yo, men yo vin konplètman dakò avèk sila ki pratike yo tou.
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
