Romans 9
1 Truth I say in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,
Qas tzij ri tajin kinbꞌij pa Cristo, ri nuchomabꞌal kuya ubꞌixik chwe pa ri Uxlabꞌixel.
2 that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart—
Kꞌo jun nimalaj bꞌis pa wanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ kꞌo jun qꞌoxom pa ri wanimaꞌ ri man tanalinaq taj.
3 for I was wishing, I myself, to be accursed from the Christ—for my brothers, my relatives, according to the flesh,
Qas kurayij ri wanimaꞌ we ta in ketzelax nuwach xuqujeꞌ kinqꞌatiꞌ che ri Cristo, rech rukꞌ riꞌ are kekꞌamawaꞌx apanoq ri e wachalal rech ri nutinimit.
4 who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,
We winaq aꞌj Israel, are waꞌ ri qas e sikꞌital apanoq rech kuꞌx alkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ, rech kekꞌojiꞌ pa ri kꞌakꞌ chomanik, pa ri qꞌijilaꞌnem, are waꞌ ri bꞌiꞌtal loq ojer.
5 whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is God over all, blessed for all ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
E kijaꞌl konojel ri oꞌjer taq winaq aꞌj Israel ri xaꞌlax cho ri uwachulew, chike aꞌreꞌ xpe wi ri Cristo, are Dios pa kiwiꞌ ronojel ri jastaq. Qꞌijilaꞌtal ri ubꞌiꞌ chibꞌe qꞌij saq. Jeriꞌ. (aiōn g165)
6 And it is not possible that the word of God has failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these of Israel;
Man kaqabꞌij ta kꞌut chi ri utzij ri Dios man xubꞌan taj ri uchak. Rumal ri rumal man konojel taj ri winaq ri e kꞌo kukꞌ ri aꞌj Israel e kijaꞌl aꞌj Israel.
7 nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but, “in Isaac will a seed be called to you”;
Man rukꞌ ta xuqu cher e rijaꞌl ri Abraham, e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Abraham, xane: Konojel ri awijaꞌl kajeqiꞌ na rumal ri Isaac.
8 that is, the children of the flesh—these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;
Kel kubꞌij chi man konojel ta ri e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Abraham e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios, xwi e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios ri xkikꞌamawaꞌj ri xubꞌij loq ri Dios.
9 for the word of promise [is] this: “According to this time I will come, and there will be to Sarah a son.”
Jewaꞌ kubꞌij ri xubꞌij loq ri Dios: Kinpe na pa jun junabꞌ, che riꞌ ri Sara kakꞌojiꞌ na jun ral ala.
10 And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one—our father Isaac
Man xaq xwi ta waꞌ xubꞌij xane xubꞌij xuqujeꞌ chi ri e ral ri Rebeca e ralkꞌwaꞌl xa jun achi, are ri qamam Isaac.
11 (for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to [divine] selection, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling),
Are majaꞌ kaꞌlax ri e yoꞌx, are qas kꞌamajaꞌ na kakichomaj ubꞌanik ri utzilal o ri etzelal, rech jeriꞌ kajeqiꞌ ri uchomanik loq ri Dios,
12 it was said to her, “The greater will serve the less”;
man rumal taj ri kichak, xane rumal ri usikꞌinik ri Dios, xbꞌix che ri Rebeca: Ri nabꞌyal kupatanij na ri uchaqꞌ.
13 according as it has been written: “Jacob I loved, and Esau I hated.”
Xuqujeꞌ tzꞌibꞌatalik: Xinloqꞌaj ri Jacob, xinwetzelaj ri Esaú.
14 What, then, will we say? Unrighteousness [is] with God? Let it not be!
¿Jas kꞌu ri kaqabꞌij? ¿La xa kꞌu man sukꞌ taj ri Dios? Man je ta riꞌ.
15 For to Moses He says, “I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion”;
Ri Dios xubꞌij che ri Moisés: Kintoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri kawaj in kintoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach, xuqujeꞌ kel na kꞌuꞌx che ri kawaj in kel na kꞌuꞌx che.
16 so then—not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness;
Xaq jeriꞌ ri chaꞌnik ri kabꞌanik man are ta kabꞌanow ri uchuqꞌabꞌ ri winaq, xane are ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios.
17 for the Writing says to Pharaoh, “For this very thing I raised you up, that I might show in you My power, and that My Name might be declared in all the land”;
Jeriꞌ rumal ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij che ri Faraón: “Xatinyak apanoq rech katinkoj chukꞌutik ri nukwinem, rech jeriꞌ katzijox na pa ri nubꞌiꞌ pa ronojel ri uwachulew.”
18 so then, to whom He wills, He does kindness, and to whom He wills, He hardens.
Xaq jeriꞌ ri Dios kutoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri karaj kutoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach, xuqujeꞌ kukowirisaj ranimaꞌ xapachin karaj je kubꞌan che.
19 You will say, then, to me, “Why does He yet find fault? For who has resisted His counsel?”
Wine kabꞌij chwe: ¿Jas kꞌu che kubꞌan aꞌjmakibꞌ chaqe? ¿Jachin kakwinik kukꞌopij ribꞌ cho ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios?
20 No, but, O man, who are you that are answering again to God? Will the thing formed say to Him who formed [it], Why did you make me thus?
Ri in kinbꞌij chawe: ¿At jachin at che ri kata che ri Dios jas che jeriꞌ kubꞌano? ¿La kubꞌij kꞌu ri tꞌuꞌy che ri bꞌanal rech? “¿Jas che jewaꞌ xabꞌan che nubꞌanik?”
21 Does the potter not have authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honor and one to dishonor?
¿La mat kꞌu kakwin ri bꞌanal bꞌoꞌj kubꞌan jun janipa xaruꞌ, nikꞌaj kukoj che chꞌuluj taq jastaq nikꞌaj chik kukoj che utz taq jastaq?
22 And if God, willing to show the wrath and to make known His power, endured, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,
¿Jas kꞌu kaqabꞌij waꞌ che we riꞌ, ri Dios pune xraj xukꞌut ri royawal xuqujeꞌ xraj xukꞌut ri ukwinem, xuqꞌiqꞌitej man xuqꞌat taj tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri yaꞌtal chike kakꞌis tzij pa kiwiꞌ?
23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He called—us—
Rech jeriꞌ kukꞌut ri uqꞌinomal ri ujuluwem chikiwach ri uꞌchaꞌom apanoq rech kaya uqꞌij kumal.
24 not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,
Uj waꞌ ri xujusikꞌij apanoq, man xwi ta xuꞌchaꞌ ri aꞌj Israel xane xuꞌchaꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
25 as also in Hosea He says, “I will call what [is] not My people—My people; and her not beloved—Beloved,
Jeriꞌ kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatalik pa ri wuj rech Oseas: Kinbꞌij na nutinimit chike ri man e nutinimit taj, xuqujeꞌ ri man loqꞌatal ta nabꞌe, kinloqꞌaj na.
26 and it will be—in the place where it was said to them, You [are] not My people; there they will be called sons of the living God.”
Xuqujeꞌ pa ri kꞌolibꞌal ri xbꞌix wi chike: Ri ix man ix nutinimit taj, chilaꞌ kabꞌix wi na chike chi e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri kꞌaslik Dios.
27 And Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved;
Ri Isaías, xubꞌij: Pune e kꞌi ri ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Israel jetaq ri sanyobꞌ ri kꞌo chuchiꞌ ri plo, xaq e kebꞌ oxibꞌ kekolotajik.
28 for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the LORD do on the land.”
Jeriꞌ rumal ri Dios aninaq kubꞌan na ri kꞌisbꞌal uqꞌatoj tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri uwachulew.
29 And according as Isaiah says before, “Except the LORD of Hosts left to us a seed, we had become as Sodom, and we had been made like Gomorrah.”
Jeriꞌ ubꞌim loq ri Isaías: We ta mat xuya kan qijaꞌl ri Nimalaj Ajawxel, kujjunumataj riꞌ rukꞌ ri e tinimit Sodoma rachiꞌl Gomorra man xkikoj taj ri xbꞌix chike rumal ri Dios.
30 What, then, will we say? That nations who are not pursuing righteousness attained to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,
¿Jas kꞌu ri kaqabꞌij waꞌ che we riꞌ? Ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, ri man tajin ta kakitzukuj ri sukꞌal. Xkiriq ri sukꞌal, ri sukꞌal ri kakꞌamawaꞌxik pa ri kojobꞌal.
31 and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at a law of righteousness;
Ri winaq aꞌj Israel are xkitereneꞌj ri sukꞌal pa ri taqanik, man xkiriq taj.
32 why? Because—not by faith, but as by works of law; for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,
¿Jas che? Rumal ri xkitereneꞌj ri taqanik man rukꞌ taj kojobꞌal, xane rukꞌ ri kichak, xkitopij kibꞌ che ri abꞌaj ri topibꞌal aqanaj.
33 according as it has been written: “Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and everyone who is believing thereon will not be ashamed.”
Jetaq ri kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik: Kinya na waral pa Sión, jun abꞌaj topibꞌal aqanaj, rech jeriꞌ katzaq jun. Are kꞌu ri kakojon che ri Cristo, man kel taj ukꞌixibꞌal.
