Romans 2
1 Therefore you have nothing to say in your own defense, whoever you are who set yourself up as a judge. In judging others you condemn yourself, for you who set yourself up as a judge do the very same things.
Rumal riꞌ at, at xapachinaq man kuya taj kabꞌij chi man awetaꞌm taj ri kabꞌano are kaqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ nikꞌaj chik, jeriꞌ rumal are kaqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ nikꞌaj chik, kaqꞌat xuqujeꞌ tzij paꞌwiꞌ at, rumal je katnoꞌjinik jetaq ri kenoꞌjin aꞌreꞌ.
2 And we know that God’s judgment falls unerringly on those who do them.
Kamik qetaꞌm chi ri uqꞌatoj tzij ri Dios qas sukꞌ ubꞌanik pa kiwiꞌ ri kakibꞌan etzelal.
3 You who judge those that do such things and yet are yourself guilty of them – do you suppose that you of all people will escape God’s judgment?
¿Teꞌq pa akꞌuꞌx chi katwinik katanimaj cho ri uqꞌatoj tzij ri Dios, at ri kaqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ nikꞌaj chik, kabꞌan xuqu ya awe ri etzelal ri kakibꞌan aꞌreꞌ?
4 Or do you think lightly of his abundant kindness, patience, and forbearance, not realizing that his kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
¿La man kawilo chi kawetzelaj ri utzilal re ri uqꞌinomal ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ ri rutzil ukꞌuꞌx xuqujeꞌ ri kochꞌonik? ¿La man kachomaj chi are karaj katukꞌam apanoq rech kakꞌex akꞌuꞌx?
5 Hard-hearted and impenitent as you are, you are storing up for yourself wrath on the day of wrath, when God’s justice as a judge will be revealed;
Rumal ri ukowil ri awanimaꞌ ri man karaj taj kukꞌex ribꞌ, xaq xwi kamulij oyawal paꞌwiꞌ pa ri qꞌij are kukꞌut ribꞌ ri sukꞌalaj uqꞌatoj tzij ri Dios.
6 for he will give to everyone what their actions deserve.
Jeriꞌ rumal ri Dios kutoj na chkijujunal ri taqalik kakikꞌamawaꞌj cho ri kichak.
7 To those who, by perseverance in doing good, aim at glory, honor, and all that is imperishable, he will give immortal life; (aiōnios g166)
Ri Dios kuya na jun alik kꞌaslemal chike ri winaq ri are tajin kakibꞌan utz taq chak, kakitzukuj juluwem, kakitzukuj chi nim kiꞌlik, xuqujeꞌ kakitzukuj kꞌaslemal. (aiōnios g166)
8 while as to those who are factious, and disobedient to truth but obedient to evil, wrath and anger, distress and despair,
Are kꞌu ri winaq ri kakibꞌan nimal, ri kakilij ubꞌanik ri etzelal, kaqꞌat na tzij pa kiwiꞌ rukꞌ kꞌaxal rumal ri Dios.
9 will fall on every human being who persists in wrongdoing – on the Jew first, but also on the Greek.
Kape na bꞌis xuqujeꞌ kꞌaxal pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq ri kakibꞌan etzelal, nabꞌe kape pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel, kꞌa te riꞌ pa kiwiꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
10 But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does right – for the Jew first, but also for the Greek,
Are kꞌu ri winaq ri kakibꞌan utzilal, kayaꞌtaj na kiqiꞌj, kanimarisax na, xuqujeꞌ kayaꞌtaj na jaꞌmaril chike, nabꞌe na ri winaq aꞌj Israel, kꞌa te riꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
11 since God shows no partiality.
Jeriꞌ, rumal chi ri Dios junam keril konojel ri winaq.
12 All who, when they sin, are without Law will also perish without Law; while all who, when they sin, are under Law, will be judged as being under Law.
Kojonel ri e makuninaq ri man ketaꞌm taj uwach ri taqanik, kasach na kiwach man chuxeꞌ taj ri taqanik; are kꞌu ri ketaꞌm ri taqanik, kꞌa te riꞌ xemakunik kaqꞌat na tzij pa kiwiꞌ jetaq ri kubꞌij ri taqanik.
13 It is not those who hear the words of a Law that are righteous before God, but it is those who obey it that will be pronounced righteous.
Je kꞌu riꞌ rumal che ri Dios man are ta kubꞌij sukꞌ chike ri xaq xwi kakitatabꞌej ri kubꞌij ri taqanik xane are e sukꞌ ri kakibꞌan ri kubꞌij ri taqanik.
14 When Gentiles, who have no Law, do instinctively what the Law requires, they, though they have no Law, are a Law to themselves;
Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj ri maj ri taqanik ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kukꞌ, kakibꞌan ri kubꞌij ri taqanik, pune maj kitaqanik, areꞌ e taqanik chibꞌil kibꞌ.
15 for they show the demands of the Law written on their hearts; their consciences corroborating it, while in their thoughts they argue either in self-accusation or, it may be, in self-defense –
Rukꞌ waꞌ riꞌ kakikꞌutu chi pa kanimaꞌ tzꞌibꞌatal wi ri kutoqꞌij ri taqanik, xuqujeꞌ ri kichomabꞌal kuqꞌalajisaj chi jeriꞌ, rumal kꞌo jujun mul ri kichomabꞌal kuꞌtzujuj xuqujeꞌ jujun mul chik kuꞌtoꞌo.
16 on the day when God passes judgment on people’s inmost lives, as the good news that I tell declares that he will do through Christ Jesus.
Jeriꞌ kakꞌulmataj na pa ri qꞌij are kuqꞌat na tzij ri Dios pa Jesucristo, pa kiwiꞌ ri jastaq ri xaq chaꞌwal ubꞌanom ri winaq, jeriꞌ kubꞌij ri utz laj tzij.
17 But, perhaps, you bear the name of ‘Jew,’ and are relying on Law, and boast of belonging to God, and understand his will,
Ri at kꞌut ri kabꞌij chi at aj Israel, chi are ri taqanik kattoꞌwik xuqujeꞌ kanimarisaj awibꞌ rumal cher kꞌo ariqoj ibꞌ rukꞌ ri Dios,
18 and, having been carefully instructed from the Law, have learned to appreciate the finer moral distinctions.
awetaꞌm ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios xuqujeꞌ kachꞌobꞌo jachike ri qas utz ubꞌanik jeriꞌ rumal cher at pixibꞌatal rukꞌ ri taqanik,
19 Perhaps you are confident that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in the dark, an instructor of the unintelligent,
kabꞌij chi awetaꞌm, chi at kꞌamal bꞌe kech ri e moyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ at kitunal ri e kꞌo pa ri qꞌequꞌmal.
20 and a teacher of the childish, because in the Law you possess the outline of all knowledge and truth.
Kabꞌij chi at yoꞌl kꞌutuꞌn chikiwach ri maj ketaꞌm, ajtij kech akꞌalabꞌ, awetaꞌm pa ri taqanik ri etaꞌmabꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri qas tzij.
21 Why, then, you teacher of others, don’t you teach yourself? Do you preach against stealing, and yet steal?
At ri kaya kꞌutuꞌn chike nikꞌaj chik ¿jas che man kaya ta kꞌutuꞌn chibꞌil awibꞌ? Kabꞌij chi man utz taj kabꞌan elaqꞌ ¿jas kꞌu che katelaqꞌik?
22 Do you forbid adultery, and yet commit adultery? Do you loathe idols, and yet plunder temples?
At ri kabꞌij chi man utz taj kuꞌtzukuj kebꞌ rachajil ri ixoq o kebꞌ rixoqil ri achi, ¿kꞌa te riꞌ je kabꞌan at? At ri kaꞌwetzelaj ri e bꞌanom taq dios ri keqꞌijilaꞌxik, ¿kꞌa te riꞌ katelaqꞌ loq pa taq ri templos ri keqꞌijilaꞌx wi?
23 Boasting, as you do, of your Law, do you dishonor God by breaking the Law?
At ri kabꞌan nimal rumal cher awetaꞌm ri taqanik, ¿kꞌa te riꞌ kaya pa ukꞌixibꞌal ri Dios rumal man kanimaj taj ri taqanik?
24 For, as scripture says – ‘The Gentiles insult God’s name because of you’!
Ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Iwumal iwe kabꞌix awas taq tzij che ri Dios kumal ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
25 Circumcision has its value, if you are obeying the Law. But, if you are a breaker of the Law, your circumcision is no better than uncircumcision.
Ri circuncisión kꞌo kutayij we are kawilij unimaxik ri taqanik, are kꞌu we man kanimaj, at junam kukꞌ ri man kojtal ta ketal.
26 If, then, an uncircumcised man pays regard to the requirements of the Law, won’t he, although not circumcised, be regarded by God as if he were?
We ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj kakibꞌan ri kubꞌij ri taqanik, ¿la man kꞌu kabꞌix riꞌ chike chi okisatal xuqujeꞌ ketal aꞌreꞌ rumal ri kakibꞌano?
27 Indeed, the person who, owing to his birth, remains uncircumcised, and yet scrupulously obeys the Law, will condemn you, who, for all your written Law and your circumcision, are yet a breaker of the Law.
Ri man sakꞌital taj, kunimaj kꞌu ri taqanik, kuqꞌat na tzij paꞌwiꞌ at, jeriꞌ rumal kꞌo ri taqanik tzꞌibꞌatalik awukꞌ xuqujeꞌ okisatal awetal, kꞌa te riꞌ kaqꞌipij qaj ri taqanik.
28 For a man who is only a Jew outwardly is not a real Jew; nor is outward bodily circumcision real circumcision. The real Jew is the person who is a Jew in soul;
Man are ta ri kilitajik kabꞌanow che jun chi aj Israel, xuqujeꞌ man are ta ri kukoj retal jun pa ri utyoꞌjal.
29 and the real circumcision is the circumcision of the heart, a spiritual and not a literal thing. Such a person wins praise from God, though not from people.
Pa ranimaꞌ kunaꞌ wi jun we aj Israel, ri etal rech ri animaꞌaj, are ri Uxlabꞌixel kabꞌanowik, man are taj ri taqanik ri tzꞌibꞌatalik bꞌanowinaq. Ri winaq aj Israel ri jeriꞌ kanoꞌjinik, kaya na uqꞌij rumal ri Dios man kumal taj ri winaq.
