Galatians 3

1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

Ri ix ix aj Galacia, ¡sibꞌalaj man kꞌo taj iwetaꞌmabꞌal! ¿Jachin xbꞌanow chiꞌwe chi man kinimaj ta ri qas tzij, ri xkꞌut chiꞌwach chirij ri Cristo ri xekebꞌax cho ri ripbꞌal?

2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Xwi kawaj kinwetaꞌmaj: ¿La xikꞌamawaꞌj ri Uxlabꞌal rumal ri chak ri kuta ri taqanik, o xa rumal ri xitatabꞌej ri tzij rukꞌ kojobꞌal?

3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

¿La xa kꞌu sibꞌalaj maj iwetaꞌmabꞌal? Nabꞌe xichapleꞌj pa ri Uxlabꞌal ¿la kꞌa te kꞌu riꞌ kiwaj kitzꞌaqatisaj rukꞌ ri ichuqꞌabꞌ pa ri ityoꞌjal?

4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if [it be] yet in vain.

¿La xaq kꞌu xiriq kꞌax kꞌa te riꞌ man kꞌo ta kichꞌek che? Pune man kinkoj taj chi mat kꞌo kichꞌek che ri jastaq ri xibꞌano.

5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Ri Dios ri kuya ri Uxlabꞌal chiꞌwe rech kibꞌan mayijabꞌal taq jastaq chiꞌxoꞌl, ¿la kubꞌan kꞌut rumal ri chak ri kutoqꞌij ri taqanik o kubꞌano rumal ri kojobꞌal ri xikojo chukꞌamawaꞌxik ri tzij?

6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmatajik rukꞌ ri Abraham, xukojo ri xbꞌix che rumal ri Dios rumal riꞌ xbꞌix che chi jun sukꞌ achi.

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

Xaq jeriꞌ, chiwetaꞌmaj chi ri e rijaꞌl ri Abraham are ri kꞌo kikojobꞌal.

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, [saying], In thee shall all nations be blessed.

Qas tzij wi, ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik ojer xubꞌij loq chi ri Dios kubꞌan na sukꞌ chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj rumal ri kikojobꞌal, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij che ri Abraham: Rumal awe ketewchiꞌtaj na konojel ri e tinimit rech ri uwachulew.

9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

Xaq jeriꞌ ri e kꞌaslik pa ri kikojobꞌal e tewchiꞌtal rukꞌ ri kojonel Abraham.

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

Konojel ri are kakubꞌiꞌ kikꞌuꞌx che ubꞌanik ri chak ri kuta ri taqanik, e kꞌo chuxeꞌ ri etzelal, jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Etzelatajinaq uwach ri winaq ri man kubꞌan ta ronojel ri kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatal pa ri wuj rech ri taqanik.

11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

Xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta jun kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che rumal ri taqanik. Jeriꞌ rumal ri sukꞌ winaq kakꞌasiꞌk rumal ri kojobꞌal.

12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

Ri taqanik man rech ta ri kojobꞌal, xane kubꞌij: Ri winaq ri kubꞌan we jastaq riꞌ kakꞌasiꞌ na rumal rech.

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:

Ri Cristo xujresaj loq pa ri etzelal rech ri taqanik are xubꞌan itzel chibꞌil ribꞌ xa rumal qe, jetaq kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik: Etzelatajinaq uwach ri karip cho jun che.

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmatajik rech xa rumal ri Cristo Jesús, ri tewechibꞌal rech ri Abraham xopan kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, rech jeriꞌ rumal ri kojobꞌal kaqakꞌamawaꞌj ri tzujtal loq chaqe rumal ri Uxlabꞌal.

15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though [it be] but a man’s covenant, yet [if it be] confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

Qachalal, kinkoj jun kꞌutbꞌal chiꞌwach: Jun chꞌekom tzij, pune xa rech achi, we xbꞌantajik, man kꞌo ta chi jun karesaj jubꞌiqꞌ che ri xbꞌiꞌtajik xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta chi jun kabꞌinik chi man kꞌo ta kutayij.

16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Je kꞌu riꞌ, ri tzujtal loq, che ri Abraham xbꞌix wi loq xuqujeꞌ ri rijaꞌl. Ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik man kubꞌij taj chike ri e rijaꞌl, je ta ne ri e kꞌo kꞌi, xane che ri rijaꞌl ri kel kubꞌij chi xa jun, are waꞌ ri Cristo.

17 And this I say, [that] the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

Ri kawaj kinbꞌij are we riꞌ: Ri chꞌekom tzij ri xbꞌanik ojer rukꞌ ri Dios man kakwin taj ri taqanik ri kꞌa te xpe chi kajibꞌ ciento rukꞌ juwinaq lajuj junabꞌ chuchupik rech man kesax ta uchuqꞌabꞌ ri tzujtal loq.

18 For if the inheritance [be] of the law, [it is] no more of promise: but God gave [it] to Abraham by promise.

Rumal cher we ta kayaꞌtaj ri echabꞌal xa rumal ri taqanik riꞌ man kayaꞌtaj taj rumal cher xa tzujtal loq. Ri Dios kꞌut xuya ri echabꞌal che ri Abraham xa rumal ri utzujum loq che.

19 Wherefore then [serveth] the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; [and it was] ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

¿Jas kꞌu xutayij ri taqanik? Xyaꞌtajik rech jeriꞌ kaqꞌalajinik chi man utz ta ri tajin kabꞌanik, kꞌa xpe na ri rijaꞌl ri Abraham ri tzujtal loq chi kape na. Are ri angelibꞌ xeyoꞌwik ri taqanik puꞌqꞌabꞌ jun chꞌawenel.

20 Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of one, but God is one.

Xaq jeriꞌ man kꞌo ta kutayij jun chꞌawenel we xa jun kabꞌan rech, ri Dios kꞌut xa jun.

21 [Is] the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

We jeriꞌ ubꞌanik we jastaq riꞌ, ¿la ukꞌulel kꞌu ri taqanik ri utzujum loq ri Dios? Man je ta riꞌ. We ta kakwin ri taqanik, ri xyaꞌtajik, chuyaꞌik kꞌaslemal ri maj ukꞌisik, are ta bꞌa ri taqanik riꞌ kayoꞌw sukꞌal.

22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Are kꞌu ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij chi konojel ri winaq aꞌjuwachulew e kꞌo chuxeꞌ ri mak, jeriꞌ rech rumal ri kojobꞌal pa Jesucristo, kayaꞌtaj na chike ri tzujtal loq.

23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

Are majaꞌ kape we kojobꞌal riꞌ, uj jatꞌital chuxeꞌ ri taqanik, ujtzꞌapitalik qayeꞌm ri kojobꞌal ri kakꞌut na chiqawach.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

Xaq jeriꞌ ri taqanik xpe chukꞌamik qabꞌe rech xujpe rukꞌ ri Cristo, jeriꞌ kabꞌantaj sukꞌ chaqe rumal ri kojobꞌal.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Kamik kꞌut chi kꞌo chi ri kojobꞌal, man xa ta chi kakꞌam qabꞌe.

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Iwonojel ix ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios xa rumal ri ikojobꞌal pa Cristo Jesús.

27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Jeriꞌ rumal konojel ri xbꞌantaj kiqasanaꞌ pa Cristo, are xkatzꞌyaqibꞌej ri Cristo.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Man kꞌo ta chi aj Israel xuqujeꞌ man aj Israel taj, man kꞌo ta chi achi xuqujeꞌ ixoq, man kꞌo ta chi ajchak xuqujeꞌ man ajchak taj, xane iwonojel ix, xa ix jun pa Cristo Jesús.

29 And if ye [be] Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Kamik kꞌut chi ix rech chi ri Cristo, qas ix rijaꞌl ri Abraham, xuqujeꞌ ix echaꞌnel rech ri utzujum loq ri Dios.
