Romans 15
1 We are bound, however, we, who are strong, the weakness of them who are not strong to be bearing, and not, unto ourselves, to give pleasure.
Nou menm ki fò nan konfyans nou nan Bondye, se pou nou ede sa ki fèb yo pote feblès yo. Nou pa dwe ap chache sa ki fè nou plezi sèlman.
2 Let, each one of us, unto his neighbour give pleasure—for what is good unto upbuilding;
Okontrè, se pou nou chak chache fè frè parèy nou plezi pou byen l', konsa n'a fè l' grandi nan konfyans li nan Bondye.
3 For, even the Christ, not unto himself gave pleasure, but, even as it is written—The reproaches of them that we reproaching thee, fell upon me:
Paske Kris la pa t' chache sa ki te fè l' plezi, men dapre sa ki ekri a: Moun ki t'ap joure ou yo, se tankou si se mwen menm yo t'ap joure.
4 Whatsoever things, in fact, were written aforetime, [all] for our own instruction were written, —in order that, through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have their hope.
Se konsa, tou sa ki te ekri nan Liv la depi nan tan lontan, yo te ekri yo pou moutre nou anpil bagay, wi, pou bagay nou jwenn ekri nan Liv la ka ban nou pasyans ak ankourajman pou n' ka mete tout espwa nou nan Bondye.
5 Now may, the God of the endurance and of the encouragement, give you, the same thing, to be regarding amongst one another, according to Christ Jesus;
Se pou Bondye ki bay pasyans ak ankourajman an fè nou viv byen yonn ak lòt, pou nou ka swiv egzanp nou jwenn nan Jezikri.
6 In order that, with one accord, with one mouth, ye maybe glorifying the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Konsa, n'a mete kè nou ak bouch nou ansanm pou fè lwanj Bondye, papa Jezikri, Seyè nou an.
7 Wherefore receive ye one another, even as, Christ also, hath received us unto the glory of God: —
Se pou yonn asepte lòt jan l' ye a, menm jan Kris la te asepte nou an pou sa te tounen yon lwanj pou Bondye.
8 For I affirm Christ to have become a minister of circumcision in behalf of the truth of God, —to confirm the promises of the fathers,
Men sa m' vle di: Kris la te fè tèt li sèvitè jwif yo pou l' te ka fè pwomès Bondye te fè zansèt nou yo rive vre, epi pou l' te moutre jan Bondye kenbe pawòl li.
9 And that, the nations, for mercy should glorify God: —even as it is written—For this cause, will I openly confess unto thee among nations, and, unto thy name, will strike the strings;
Men, li te vini pou moun lòt nasyon yo tou, pou yo te ka fè lwanj Bondye pou jan li gen kè sansib, jan sa te ekri nan Liv la: Se poutèt sa m'a fè lwanj ou nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Se poutèt sa m'a chante pou non ou.
10 And again he saith—Be glad ye nations with his people;
Liv la di ankò: Nou menm moun lòt nasyon yo, fè kè nou kontan ansanm avèk pèp Bondye chwazi a.
11 And again, —Be giving praise all ye nations unto the Lord, and let all the peoples repeat his praise;
Li di ankò: Fè lwanj Mèt la, nou menm moun lòt nasyon yo! Wi, se pou tout pèp yo fè lwanj li!
12 And, again, Isaiah, saith—There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to rule nations, —upon, him, shall nations hope.
Ezayi di tou: Li gen pou l' vini, pitit pitit Izayi a. Li va parèt pou gouvènen lòt nasyon yo. Nasyon yo va mete espwa yo nan li.
13 Now, the God of the hope, fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye may surpass in the hope, in the power of Holy Spirit.
Mwen mande Bondye ki bay espwa a pou l' fè kè nou kontan nèt, pou l' fè kè nou poze ak konfyans nou gen nan li a. Se konsa espwa nou va toujou ap grandi ak pouvwa Sentespri a.
14 But I am persuaded my brethren, —even, I myself, concerning you: that, ye yourselves, also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also, unto one another, to be ministering admonition:
Frè m' yo, mwen gen fèm konviksyon nou gen kont bon santiman nan kè nou, nou gen kont konesans sou nou pou yonn ka bay lòt konsèy.
15 Howbeit, the more boldly, have I written unto you, —in some measure, as bringing it back to your minds, —by reason of the favour given unto me from God, —
Men, mwen te penmèt mwen ekri nou sou anpil pwen nan lèt mwen an pou mwen te ka fè nou chonje sa nou te konnen deja. Mwen te penmèt mwen fè sa poutèt favè Bondye te fè m' lan,
16 That I should be a public minister of Christ Jesus unto the nations, doing priestly service with the glad-message of God, in order that the offering up of the nations might prove to be acceptable, being hallowed in Holy Spirit:
pou m' te sèvi Jezikri pandan m'ap travay nan mitan moun lòt nasyon yo. Lè m'ap fè konnen bon nouvèl Bondye a, se yon sèvis apa pou Bondye m'ap rann, pou moun lòt nasyon yo ka tounen yon ofrann ki fè Bondye plezi, yon ofrann yo mete apa pou Bondye ak pouvwa Sentespri a.
17 I have, therefore, [my] boasting in Christ Jesus in the things pertaining to God, —
Se pou sa, mwen gen dwa kontan nèt pou travay m'ap fè ansanm ak Jezikri pou Bondye.
18 For I wilt not dare to speak anything save of the things which Christ hath wrought out for himself through me for the obedience of nations, —by word and deed,
-(we vèsè pwochen)
19 By the power of signs and wonders, by the power of [Holy Spirit]; so that I, from Jerusalem and in a circuit as far as Illyricum, have fulfilled the glad-message of the Christ, —
Wi, m'ap penmèt mwen fè nou konnen sèlman sa Kris la te fè m' fè ak sa li te fè m' di, avèk fòs mirak ak bèl bagay ak pouvwa Lespri Bondye a. Tou sa, pou mennen moun lòt nasyon yo vin nan pye Bondye pou obeyi li. Se konsa, depi lavil Jerizalèm jouk nan peyi Iliri, mwen pa manke mache bay bon nouvèl ki pale sou Kris la toupatou.
20 Although, thus, —as ambitious to be announcing the glad-message—not where Christ had been named, lest, upon another’s foundation, I should be building;
Men, lanbisyon m' se te pou m' fè konnen bon nouvèl la sèlman kote moun pa t' ankò janm tande nonmen non Kris la, pou m' pa t' bati sou fondasyon lòt moun te poze,
21 But, even as it is written—They shall see unto whom had been announced no tidings concerning him, and, they who had not heard, shall understand.
jan sa te ekri nan Liv la: Moun ki pa t' ankò konnen l' yo va wè. Moun ki pa t' ankò tande nonmen non l' yo va konprann.
22 Wherefore, also, I have been hindered these many times from coming unto you;
Se rezon sa a ki te anpeche mwen anpil fwa al lakay nou.
23 But, now, no longer having place in these regions, and having had, a longing, to come unto you a good many years, —
Men, koulye a, mwen pa gen anyen ki kenbe m' nan peyi sa yo ankò. Depi lontan mwen fè lide ale wè nou.
24 As soon as I am journey to Spain, —I am hoping, in fact, when journeying through to get sight of you, and by you to be set forward thither, —if, with your company, I have first in some measure been satisfied.
Mwen ta renmen fè sa lè mapral an Espay lan. Wi, mwen gen espwa pase wè nou pou nou kapab ede m' ale nan peyi sa a, apre m'a fin pase kèk bon moman nan mitan nou.
25 But, now, I am journeying unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints;
Men, koulye a, mwen pral Jerizalèm pou m' ka rann moun k'ap viv apa pou Bondye yo yon sèvis.
26 For Macedonia and Achaia have been well-pleased to make a certain fellowship for the destitute of the saints who are in Jerusalem, —
Legliz ki nan peyi Masedwan ak nan peyi Lakayi yo te pran sou yo pou yo te fè yon ofrann pou ede pòv ki nan pèp Bondye a lavil Jerizalèm.
27 They have been well-pleased, indeed, —and, their debtors, they are; for, if, with their spiritual things the nations have come into fellowship, they are bound also with their own carnal things to minister publicly unto them.
Se yo menm menm ki te fè lide sa a. Men, pou di vre, yo te dwe pòv yo sa. Paske, menm jan jwif yo te separe benediksyon ki soti nan Lespri Bondye a avèk moun ki pa t' jwif yo, konsa tou, moun ki pa jwif yo gen pou devwa pou rann yo sèvis avèk byen latè yo.
28 This, then, having completed, and sealed unto them this fruit, I will come back by you unto Spain: —
Lè m'a fini avèk zafè sa a, le m'a renmèt tout lajan yo te ranmase a nan men, lè sa a m'a pati pou Espay, m'a pase wè nou sou wout.
29 And know that, when I come unto you, in the fullness of the blessing of Christ, I shall come.
Mwen konnen le m'a rive wè nou an, se avèk tout benediksyon Kris la m'a rive.
30 I beseech you, moreover, [brethren], through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers on my behalf unto God, —
Men sa m' mande nou, frè m' yo: nan non Jezikri, Seyè nou an, nan non renmen Lespri a ban nou, tanpri, pa lage m' nan batay la pou kont mwen, lapriyè Bondye pou mwen.
31 In order that I may be delivered from them who do not yield in Judaea, and, my ministry which is unto Jerusalem, may prove to be acceptable unto the saints;
Lapriyè pou m' ka delivre anba moun Jide yo ki pa vle kwè. Lapriyè tou pou moun k'ap viv apa pou Bondye nan lavil Jerizalèm, pou yo ka byen resevwa lajan m'ap pote ba yo a.
32 In order that, with joy coming unto you through God’s will, I may together with you find rest.
Konsa, si Bondye vle, m'a rive lakay nou ak kè kontan, epi m'a pran yon ti repo nan mitan nou.
33 Now, the God of peace, be with you all. Amen.
Se pou Bondye ki bay kè poze a avèk nou tout. Amèn.
