Ròm 7
Haitian Creole Version
7 ¶ Frè m' yo, mwen sèten nou konnen sa m' pral di nou la a deja, paske nou konn lalwa a: Se toutotan yon moun ap viv lalwa gen pouvwa sou li.
2 M'ap pran yon egzanp: yon madan marye gen angajman avèk mari l' devan lalwa toutotan mari a vivan. Men, si mari a mouri, madanm lan lib devan lalwa annegad mari a.
3 Si pandan mari a vivan toujou, madanm lan vin fanm yon lòt gason, y'ap rele madanm lan adiltè. Men, si mari a mouri, li lib devan lalwa. Lè sa a, si l' vin fanm yon lòt gason, li pa yon adiltè.
4 Se menm jan an tou pou nou menm, frè m' yo. Nou mouri ansanm ak kò Kris la annegad lalwa. Konsa, nou lib pase nan men yon lòt mèt. Koulye a, se nan men moun ki te leve soti vivan nan lanmò a nou ye pou nou ka viv yon jan ki itil pou Bondye.
5 Lè n' t'ap viv anba pouvwa lachè, tout vye dezi lalwa te fè leve nan kè nou yo t'ap travay nan tout kò nou, yo te fè nou fè bagay ki t'ap mennen nou nan lanmò.
6 Koulye a, nou pa gen angajman ak lalwa ankò. Nou mouri annegad lalwa ki te kenbe nou prizonye a. Se sak fè nou ka sèvi Bondye yon lòt jan, anba otorite Sentespri a. Nou p'ap sèvi l' ankò jan n' te konn sèvi l' nan tan lontan an, anba otorite lalwa ki ekri nan Liv la.
7 ¶ Nan kondisyon sa a, kisa n'a di? Eske lalwa se peche? Non, wete sa nan tèt ou. Men, se lalwa a ki fè m' konnen sa peche ye. Se konsa mwen pa ta janm konnen kisa ki rele gen lanvi, si lalwa pa t' di m': Piga ou janm pote lanvi sou sak pa pou nou.
8 Peche a pwofite okazyon kòmandman an pou l' fè m' gen tout kalite lanvi nan kè mwen. San lalwa a, peche mouri.
9 Pou mwen menm, nan tan lontan, lè m' te san lalwa, mwen te vivan. Men, lè kòmandman an vin rive, peche a vin vivan ankò.
10 Epi mwen menm, mwen mouri. Se konsa kòmandman ki te pou ban m' lavi a, se li menm ki ban m' lanmò.
11 Peche a pwofite okazyon an, li twonpe m' ak kòmandman an. Se konsa, li fè mwen mouri ak tout kòmandman an.
12 Men, lalwa a se yon bagay ki soti nan Bondye. Kòmandman an tou, se Bondye ki bay li, se konsa li dwat epi li bon.
13 Eske nou ka di sa ki bon an tounen yon kòz lanmò pou nou? Non, monchè! Men, se peche ki lakòz sa. Peche fè nou wè sa li menm li ye vre: li sèvi ak sa ki bon an pou l' fè mwen mouri. Se konsa, avèk kòmandman an, peche a kanpe pi rèd toujou.
14 ¶ Nou konnen lalwa li menm, se yon bagay ki soti nan Lespri Bondye. Men, mwen menm, mwen se yon kò ki tou fèb, peche fin anpare m', li fè m' tounen esklav li.
15 Lè m' fè yon bagay, mwen pa konprann sa m' fè a. Paske, sa m' ta vle fè a, se pa sa m' fè. Epi sa m' pa vle fè a, se li mwen fè.
16 Si sa m' pa t' vle fè a se li mwen fè, sa vle di mwen dakò lalwa a bon.
17 Nan kondisyon sa a, se pa mwen ki fè sa ki fèt la, men se peche ki nan mwen an ki fè li.
18 Sa se bagay mwen konnen: Nanpwen anyen ki bon nan mwen, nan tout kò mwen. Mwen di sa, paske menm lè mwen vle fè sa ki byen, mwen pa santi m' kapab fè li.
19 Mwen pa fè byen mwen vle fè a, men mwen fè mal mwen pa vle fè a.
20 Epi, si m' fè mal mwen pa vle fè a, se pa mwen ki fè l', men se peche ki nan mwen an ki fè li.
21 Pou mwen menm, mwen jwenn lwa sa a nan mwen: lè m' vle fè sa ki byen, se sa ki mal ase mwen santi m' ka fè.
22 Nan fon kè m', mwen jwenn tout plezi m' nan lalwa Bondye a.
23 Men, nan tout kò m', mwen santi yon lòt lwa k'ap goumen ak lalwa mwen renmen an. Lwa sa a kenbe m' prizonye anba otorite peche a ki nan tout kò mwen.
24 Ala malere mwen malere, mezanmi! Kilès ki va delivre m' anba kò sa a k'ap trennen m' nan lanmò?
25 Gremesi Jezikri, Seyè nou an, mwen ka di: Mèsi Bondye! Konsa, men ki jan mwen ye: dapre konesans pa mwen, mwen se esklav lalwa Bondye a. Men, dapre sa m' santi nan tout kò mwen, mwen se esklav lalwa peche a.

Released From the Law, Bound to Christ
7 Do you not know, brothers and sisters(A)—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.(B) 3 So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress.(C) But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.
4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law(D) through the body of Christ,(E) that you might belong to another,(F) to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a](G) the sinful passions aroused by the law(H) were at work in us,(I) so that we bore fruit for death.(J) 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law(K) so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.(L)
The Law and Sin
7 What shall we say, then?(M) Is the law sinful? Certainly not!(N) Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.(O) For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[b](P) 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(Q) produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.(R) 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life(S) actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(T) deceived me,(U) and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.(V)
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good(W) to bring about my death,(X) so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual,(Y) sold(Z) as a slave to sin.(AA) 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.(AB) 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.(AC) 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.(AD) 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c](AE) For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.(AF) 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.(AG)
21 So I find this law at work:(AH) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being(AI) I delight in God’s law;(AJ) 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war(AK) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin(AL) at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?(AM) 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(AN)
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,(AO) but in my sinful nature[d] a slave to the law of sin.(AP)

Freed from the Law
7 Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law [a]has dominion over a man as long as he lives? 2 For (A)the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. 3 So then (B)if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man. 4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become (C)dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should (D)bear fruit to God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law (E)were at work in our members (F)to bear fruit to death. 6 But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve (G)in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
Sin’s Advantage in the Law
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, (H)I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, (I)“You shall not covet.” 8 But (J)sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For (K)apart from the law sin was dead. 9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. 10 And the commandment, (L)which was to bring life, I found to bring death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. 12 Therefore (M)the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.
Law Cannot Save from Sin
13 Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, (N)sold under sin. 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. (O)For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that (P)in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I (Q)delight in the law of God according to (R)the inward man. 23 But (S)I see another law in (T)my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me (U)from this body of death? 25 (V)I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

Released from the Law
7 Or do you not know, brothers[a]—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? 2 For (A)a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage.[b] 3 Accordingly, (B)she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.
4 Likewise, my brothers, (C)you also have died (D)to the law (E)through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, (F)in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work (G)in our members (H)to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the (I)new way of (J)the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.[c]
The Law and Sin
7 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, (K)I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if (L)the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, (M)seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. (N)For apart from the law, sin lies dead. 9 I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. 10 The very commandment (O)that promised life proved to be death to me. 11 For sin, (P)seizing an opportunity through the commandment, (Q)deceived me and through it killed me. 12 So (R)the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, (S)sold under sin. 15 For I do not understand my own actions. For (T)I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with (U)the law, that it is good. 17 So now (V)it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells (W)in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19 (X)For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, (Y)it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.
21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For (Z)I delight in the law of God, (AA)in my inner being, 23 but I see in my members (AB)another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from (AC)this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
