Romans 3
1 What advantage then hath the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?
We jeriꞌ, ¿jas kꞌu kuchꞌek jun we aj Israel? O ¿jas kutayij ri etal?
2 Much every way. First indeed, because the words of God were committed to them.
Nim kuchꞌek jun, jeriꞌ rumal cher nabꞌe xyaꞌtaj ri utzij ri Dios chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
3 For what if some of them have not believed? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid.
Jas kꞌu kakꞌulmataj riꞌ we jun chike we winaq riꞌ maj ukojobꞌal ¿la kakwin kꞌu riꞌ ri man kakojon taj kꞌuꞌx kubꞌan che ri Dios chi man kubꞌan ta chik ri ubꞌim loq?
4 But God is true; and every man a liar, as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.
¡Man jeꞌ ta riꞌ! Ri Dios tzi kubꞌan wi ri ubꞌim loq pune bꞌanal tzij ri achi. Jetaq kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatalik: Kabꞌantaj na sukꞌ chawe rukꞌ ri kabꞌij, xuqujeꞌ katchꞌeken na are kaqꞌat tzij pa awiꞌ.
5 But if our injustice commend the justice of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust, who executeth wrath?
We ri qetzelal kukꞌutu chi sukꞌ ri usukꞌal ri Dios, ¿jas kꞌu kaqabꞌij? ¿Xa man sukꞌ taj ri Dios rumal riꞌ kutix loq ri royawal pa qawiꞌ? (Je tajin kinchꞌaw winaq).
6 (I speak according to man.) God forbid: otherwise how shall God judge this world?
¡Man jeꞌ ta riꞌ! We ta jeriꞌ ¿jas kꞌu kubꞌan ri Dios chuqꞌatik tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew?
7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie, unto his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner?
Wine kꞌo jun kubꞌij: we are ri nubꞌanoj tzij kaqꞌalajisan ri qas tzij re ri Dios xuqujeꞌ kanimarisan ri ujuluwem, ¿jas che kaqꞌat tzij pa nuwiꞌ kabꞌix chwe chi in ajmak?
8 And not rather (as we are slandered, and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil, that there may come good? whose damnation is just.
¿Jas kꞌu che makaqabꞌij qabꞌana ri etzelal rech jeriꞌ kape ri utzilal? E kꞌi kakibꞌan bꞌanoj tzij chaqij, kakibꞌij chi jeriꞌ tajin kaqakꞌutu. Qas kataqiꞌ kꞌu na kape ri kꞌaxal pa kiwiꞌ we winaq riꞌ.
9 What then? Do we excel them? No, not so. For we have charged both Jews, and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
¿Jas kꞌu kaqabꞌij che we riꞌ? ¿La uj kꞌut uj aꞌj Israel uj jeꞌl chkiwach konojel? ¡Man jeꞌ ta riꞌ! Xqakꞌutu chi ri winaq aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj e kꞌo chuxeꞌ ri makaj.
10 As it is written: There is not any man just.
Ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Man kꞌo taj jun sukꞌ laj winaq, xa ta ne jun.
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Man kꞌo ta jun retaꞌm ubꞌanik ri sukꞌal, maj kꞌo ta jun ri kajawan ri riqoj ibꞌ rukꞌ ri Dios.
12 All have turned out of the way; they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, there is not so much as one.
Konojel xel kanoq pa ri bꞌe, konojel xuꞌxik winaq ri maj kakitayij, man kꞌo ta jun ri are karilij ubꞌanik ri utzilal; maj, xa ta ne jun.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully. The venom of asps is under their lips.
Ri uqul ri winaq jaqalik je ri kꞌo jun muqbꞌal kaminaq, ri raqꞌ kukoj chubꞌanik bꞌanoj tzij. Ri uchiꞌ jeriꞌ kꞌo utyoꞌbꞌal kumatz.
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Nojinaq ri uchiꞌ che etzelal xuqujeꞌ yojtajinaqil.
15 Their feet swift to shed blood:
Kaxikꞌan ri raqan keꞌ chubꞌanik ri kamisanik.
16 Destruction and misery in their ways:
Kutukij kan ronojel ri kꞌo pa ri ubꞌe xuqujeꞌ kubꞌan etzelal.
17 And the way of peace they have not known:
Man ketaꞌm taj uwach ri bꞌe rech jaꞌmaril.
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Man kumochꞌ taj ribꞌ cho ri Dios.
19 Now we know, that what things soever the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that are in the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be made subject to God.
Kamik kꞌut qetaꞌm chi ronojel ri kubꞌij ri taqanik, kubꞌij chike konojel ri e kꞌo chuxeꞌ ri taqanik, rech jeriꞌ maj jun kachꞌawik xuqujeꞌ konojel ri winaq aꞌjuwachulew kekanaj chuxeꞌ ri uqꞌatoj tzij ri Dios.
20 Because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified before him. For by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Jeriꞌ rumal maj jun kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che cho ri Dios rumal ubꞌanik ri chak ri kubꞌij ri taqanik, xane qetaꞌm chi are ri taqanik kakꞌutuw chiqawach chi uj aꞌjmakibꞌ.
21 But now without the law the justice of God is made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.
Kamik kꞌut xukꞌut ribꞌ ri usukꞌal ri Dios, ri xpetik man rumal taj re ri taqanik, are waꞌ ri xkiqꞌalajisaj loq ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri taqanik.
22 Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction:
We usukꞌal ri Dios riꞌ xpetik chike konojel ri kekojon che ri Jesucristo. Jeriꞌ rumal cher xaq e junam ri winaq ri aꞌj Israel kukꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj. Jeriꞌ rumal ri Dios man xaq ta kꞌyaqal ri keꞌraj.
23 For all have sinned, and do need the glory of God.
Xa kꞌu rumal cher konojel xemakunik rumal riꞌ maj ke che ri ujuluwem ri Dios.
24 Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption, that is in Christ Jesus,
Pa ri utoqꞌobꞌ kꞌu ri Dios xubꞌan sukꞌ chiꞌwe man rukꞌ ta pwaq, xane xixutoro pa Cristo Jesús.
25 Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of his justice, for the remission of former sins,
Ri Dios xutzuj ri Jesucristo che sipanik chuchupik ronojel ri qamak, are waꞌ ri kaqakꞌamawaꞌj rukꞌ ri qakojobꞌal rumal ri ukikꞌel, rech jeriꞌ kukꞌut chiqawach ri usukꞌal rumal cher najtir chi kanoq ri Dios pa ri rutzilal xsachan kan che ri ojer taq makaj.
26 Through the forbearance of God, for the shewing of his justice in this time; that he himself may be just, and the justifier of him, who is of the faith of Jesus Christ.
Kamik kꞌut, ri Dios utzujum ri Jesucristo rech jeriꞌ kukꞌut ri usukꞌal. Rech jeriꞌ kilitajik chi sukꞌ ri Dios xuqujeꞌ are kabꞌanow sukꞌ chike ri kekojon che ri Jesús.
27 Where is then thy boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.
¿Jawjeꞌ kꞌu kꞌo wi ri nimal? Maj chik ¿jas rumal? ¿La xa rumal ri taqanik? Man je ta riꞌ, xa rumal ri kojobꞌal.
28 For we account a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law.
Kꞌisbꞌal rech kaqabꞌij chi ri achi kux sukꞌ man rumal ta ri chak ri kuta ri taqanik xane rumal ri kojobꞌal.
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also.
Ri Dios, ¿la xaq xwi kꞌu kiDios ri winaq aꞌj Israel? ¿La man kꞌu kiDios xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj? Jeꞌ, jeriꞌ ri Dios kiDios xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
30 For it is one God, that justifieth circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Xa jun Dios kꞌolik. Are kabꞌanow sukꞌ rumal ri kojobꞌal chike ri e kojtal ketal xuqujeꞌ ri man kojtal ta ketal.
31 Do we, then, destroy the law through faith? God forbid: but we establish the law.
¿La kel kꞌu kubꞌij chi kaqachup ri taqanik rukꞌ ri kojobꞌal? Man je ta riꞌ, xane rukꞌ wa kaqabꞌij chi qas sukꞌ wi ri taqanik.
