< Romans 1 >
1 Paul, a servant of Messiah Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for 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 promised before through 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 born of the offspring 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 declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus (the) Messiah our Lord,
pa ri Uxlabꞌal ri katyoxirisanik, xqꞌalajisaxik chi are Ukꞌojol ri Dios, jeriꞌ rumal xkꞌastaj chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ. Are waꞌ ri Jesucristo ri Ajawxel.
5 through whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;
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 you are also called to belong to Jesus (the) Messiah;
Chikixoꞌl taq we tinimit riꞌ, ix kꞌo ix, ri ixusikꞌim apanoq ri Jesucristo.
7 to all who are in Rome, loved by God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
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 thank my God through Jesus (the) Messiah for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout 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, how I constantly mention 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, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed by the will of God to come to 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 to you some spiritual gift 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, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
Rech jeriꞌ kaqataqchiꞌla qibꞌ chiqajujunal pa ri xa jun qakojobꞌal.
13 Now I do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other non-Jewish people.
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 I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
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, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in 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 for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for 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 in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will live 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 unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,
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 what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
Ri rajawaxik ketaꞌmax che ri Dios sibꞌalaj qꞌalaj, jeriꞌ rumal cher tzi are ri Dios xkꞌutuw chikiwach ri winaq.
20 For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse. (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, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, 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 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
Pune kakibꞌij chi kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal xuꞌx kꞌut e kon taq winaq.
23 and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.
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 Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their 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 exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. 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 reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature.
Rumal ri xkibꞌano, ri Dios xuꞌjach pa ri kꞌixibꞌal ubꞌanik. Ri ixoqibꞌ xkikꞌex ri yaꞌtal ubꞌanik cho ri man yaꞌtal taj ubꞌanik.
27 Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of 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 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;
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 unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
Xkibꞌan ronojel uwach makaj, jiqꞌjatem, xuqujeꞌ tontoꞌil. Xenoj che tiꞌtatem, kamisanik, kojoj taq chꞌoꞌj, subꞌunik, etzelal, xuqujeꞌ tzijtaꞌlik.
30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, 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, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;
Maj ketaꞌmabꞌal, man sukꞌ taj ri kakibꞌano, man kꞌo taj kinaꞌoj, man je ta kenoꞌjin winaq.
32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice 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.
