Romans 1

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.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

Depi lontan Bondye te pwomèt bon nouvèl sa a pa bouch pwofèt li yo, nan Liv Sentespri te fè yo ekri a.

(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

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.

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

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.

And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

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.

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

Nou menm kretyen ki nan lavil Wòm, nou fè pati nasyon sa yo tou: Bondye rele nou pou n' antre nan fanmi Jezikri a.

Among whom are ye also the called of 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.

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.

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.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

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;

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;

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.

Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

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.

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

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.

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

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.

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.

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.

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

Se poutèt sa, m' anvi vin anonse bon nouvèl la ban nou, nou menm ki rete lavil Wòm.

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

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.

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.

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.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

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.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

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.

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Y'ap mache di se moun lespri yo ye. Men, se fou yo fin fou.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

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.

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.

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.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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;

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.

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

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.

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Yo san konsyans, yo pa kenbe pawòl yo. Kè yo di konsa, yo san pitye pou lòt moun.

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

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.

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.
