< Romans 1 >
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Ri Pablo patanil re ri Jesucristo, sikꞌital apanoq rech kux jun taqoꞌn, tzijol re ri utz laj taq tzij rech ri Dios.
2 Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,
Ri ubꞌim loq ojer xuqujeꞌ kitzijom loq ri qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios pa ri tyoxalaj taq tzꞌibꞌatalik.
3 Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David, according to the flesh,
We utz laj tzij katzijon chrij ri Ukꞌojol ri Dios, Jesucristo Rijaꞌl ri David pa ri tyoꞌjal,
4 Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead;
pa ri Uxlabꞌal ri katyoxirisanik, xqꞌalajisaxik chi are Ukꞌojol ri Dios, jeriꞌ rumal xkꞌastaj chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ. Are waꞌ ri Jesucristo ri Ajawxel.
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name;
Xa rumal rech areꞌ, xuqujeꞌ rumal rech ri ubꞌiꞌ, xyaꞌtaj ri sipanik rech taqoꞌn chaqe rech kujkwinik keꞌqataqchiꞌj konojel ri tinimit ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew xa jeriꞌ keniman che ri kojobꞌal.
6 Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:
Chikixoꞌl taq we tinimit riꞌ, ix kꞌo ix, ri ixusikꞌim apanoq ri Jesucristo.
7 To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Kintzꞌibꞌaj we wuj riꞌ chiꞌwe ix, ri sibꞌalaj ixuloqꞌ ri Dios ri ix kꞌo pa ri tinimit Roma, ri ix sikꞌital apanoq rech kixux tyoxalaj taq winaq. Are ri Dios ri qaTat xuqujeꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, cheyoꞌw toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril chiꞌwe.
8 First I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.
Nabꞌe, kintyoxin rumal iwe che ri nuDios pa Jesucristo, rumal cher utz kabꞌan chutzijoxik ri ikojobꞌal pa ronojel ri uwachulew.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make a commemoration of you;
Qas karil ri Dios ri kinpatanij rukꞌ ronojel wanimaꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kintzijoj ri utz laj utzij ri uKꞌojol, chi qas kixnaꞌtaj wi chwe ronojel qꞌij.
10 Always in my prayers making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you.
Ronojel qꞌij kinta che ri Dios chi we are rayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx Areꞌ, chuya bꞌe chwe kineꞌ chiꞌsolixik.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you:
Sibꞌalaj kurayij wanimaꞌ kixeꞌnwilaꞌ rech jeriꞌ kinbꞌij chiꞌwe jas ubꞌanik ri sipanik pa ri Uxlabꞌixel xa jeriꞌ kikꞌamawaꞌj ichuqꞌabꞌ.
12 That is to say, that I may be comforted together in you, by that which is common to us both, your faith and mine.
Rech jeriꞌ kaqataqchiꞌla qibꞌ chiqajujunal pa ri xa jun qakojobꞌal.
13 And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come unto you, (and have been hindered hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
Wachalal, kawaj kiwetaꞌmaj chi man inkwininaq taj ixnusolim, pune jeriꞌ nurayim isolixik rech keꞌnkꞌama loq we ri iwachinik, jacha ta ne ri ix ikꞌamom loq iwe kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
14 To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor;
In kꞌo pa kꞌasaj iwukꞌ iwonojel ta kꞌu kꞌo iwetaꞌmabꞌal ta kꞌu maj iwetaꞌmabꞌal, we ix aj Grecia o pune man ix aj Grecia taj.
15 So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.
Qas kurayij na kꞌuꞌx kintzijoj ri utz laj tzij chiꞌwe ix ri kixel pa ri tinimit Roma.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, to the Jew first, and to the Greek.
Qas tzij man kinkꞌixibꞌej taj uqꞌalajisaxik ri utz laj tzij rumal are ukwinem ri Dios rech jeriꞌ kekolotaj konojel ri kekojonik: nabꞌe na ri winaq aꞌj Israel kꞌa te riꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
17 For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.
Pa ri utz laj tzij kaqꞌalajisax wi chi ri usukꞌal ri Dios kukꞌut ribꞌ rumal kojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ pa kojobꞌal: Jetaq ri kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik ri sukꞌ rumal kojobꞌal kakꞌasiꞌ na.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice:
Qas tzij wi, ri royawal ri Dios kape chilaꞌ pa ri kaj kukꞌut ribꞌ pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri winaq ri kakiqꞌatej rukꞌ etzelal ri qas tzij.
19 Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.
Ri rajawaxik ketaꞌmax che ri Dios sibꞌalaj qꞌalaj, jeriꞌ rumal cher tzi are ri Dios xkꞌutuw chikiwach ri winaq.
20 For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; his eternal power also, and divinity: so that they are inexcusable. (aïdios )
Jeriꞌ rumal cher are xtiktaj loq ri uwachulew, ri jastaq ri man kilitaj taj che ri Dios, ri ukwinem ri maj umajitajik loq xuqujeꞌ maj ukꞌisik xuqujeꞌ ri kuxik ri Areꞌ, xilitajik pa ronojel ri xutiko, rech jeriꞌ maj jun kubꞌij chi man retaꞌm taj uwach ri Dios. (aïdios )
21 Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Pune xketaꞌmaj uwach ri Dios, man xkiya taj uqꞌij ri Dios jetaq ri taqal che, xane xesach pa taq ri kichomanik ri maj kutayij, xuqujeꞌ xqꞌeqar ri kanimaꞌ.
22 For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
Pune kakibꞌij chi kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal xuꞌx kꞌut e kon taq winaq.
23 And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things.
Xkikꞌex ri ujuluwem ri Dios ri man kakam taj, choch ri upalaj ri achi ri kamel, xuqujeꞌ kipalaj taq aꞌwaj ri kerapinik, ri kajibꞌ kichakalibꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri kakijururej kibꞌ cho ri uwachulew.
24 Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.
Rumal riꞌ xejach rumal ri Dios pa taq ri itzel taq kichomabꞌal rech ri kanimaꞌ ri kuꞌkꞌam bꞌik pa ri makunem kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ, jeriꞌ xkitukij ri kityoꞌjal chi kijujunal.
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn )
Xkikꞌex ri qas tzij re ri Dios cho ri bꞌanoj tzij, xeꞌkiqꞌijilaꞌj xuqujeꞌ xeꞌkipatanij ri e jastaq ri xa e tiktalik, man xkiqꞌijilaꞌj taj ri Dios ri xetikowik, areꞌ ri Dios yaꞌtal uqꞌij chibꞌe qꞌij saq. (aiōn )
26 For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.
Rumal ri xkibꞌano, ri Dios xuꞌjach pa ri kꞌixibꞌal ubꞌanik. Ri ixoqibꞌ xkikꞌex ri yaꞌtal ubꞌanik cho ri man yaꞌtal taj ubꞌanik.
27 And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.
Xuqujeꞌ ri achyabꞌ xkitzaq ubꞌanik ri riqoj ibꞌ rukꞌ ri ixoq, are xkichapleꞌj ubꞌanik mak achyabꞌ kukꞌ kech taq achyabꞌ xkibꞌan ri kꞌixibꞌal ubꞌanik, xuqujeꞌ xkikꞌamawaꞌj pa ke wi ri qꞌatoj tzij ri taqal chike.
28 And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient;
Xuqujeꞌ xkichomaj chi man taqal taj kakikoj pa kwenta ri retaꞌmabꞌal ri Dios, rumal riꞌ ri Dios xuꞌjach pa ri tontoꞌil rech jeriꞌ xkibꞌano ri man taqal taj kakibꞌano.
29 Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers,
Xkibꞌan ronojel uwach makaj, jiqꞌjatem, xuqujeꞌ tontoꞌil. Xenoj che tiꞌtatem, kamisanik, kojoj taq chꞌoꞌj, subꞌunik, etzelal, xuqujeꞌ tzijtaꞌlik.
30 Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
E bꞌanal taq tzij, uꞌkꞌulel ri Dios, man kakinimaj ta kibꞌ. Kakibꞌan nimal, kakinimarisaj kibꞌ e wokol taq etzelal, man keꞌkinimaj taj ri kitat kinan.
31 Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
Maj ketaꞌmabꞌal, man sukꞌ taj ri kakibꞌano, man kꞌo taj kinaꞌoj, man je ta kenoꞌjin winaq.
32 Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.
Qas iwetaꞌm ri kubꞌij ri sukꞌ laj utaqanik ri Dios, ri jewaꞌ kenoꞌjinik taqal chike kekamik; jeriꞌ rumal man xwi ta jeriꞌ kenoꞌjinik, xane kakibꞌij chike ri jeriꞌ kenoꞌjinik chi utz ri tajin kakibꞌano.
