Galatians 5
1 For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not again be put under the control of a yoke of slavery.
Ri Cristo xujukiro rech jeriꞌ kujkꞌojiꞌk pa ri kiritajik. Xaq jeriꞌ ko chixkꞌoloq rech makinim ta chi iwibꞌ chuxeꞌ ri jatꞌibꞌal rech ri taqanik.
2 Look, I, Paul, say to you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will not benefit you in any way.
Ri in, in Pablo kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi man kꞌo ta kutayij che ri Cristo, we kisakꞌij iwibꞌ.
3 I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
Junmul chik kinbꞌij chi ri karaj kusakꞌij ribꞌ choqꞌaqꞌ wi kubꞌano ronojel ri kubꞌij ri taqanik.
4 You are cut off from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you no longer experience grace.
Ri ix ri kiwaj kabꞌantaj sukꞌ chiꞌwe rumal ri taqanik, man jeqel ta ikꞌuꞌx riꞌ chirij ri Cristo man xikꞌamawaꞌj ta riꞌ ri utoqꞌobꞌ.
5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.
Are kꞌu ri uj qayeꞌm pa ri Uxlabꞌixel chi kabꞌantaj sukꞌ chaqe, rumal ri kojobꞌal.
6 In Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith working through love.
Jeriꞌ rumal pa Cristo Jesús man kꞌo ta kutayij we jun sakꞌitalik o man sakꞌital taj, are kꞌo kutayij ri kojobꞌal ri chakunik xa rumal ri loqꞌanik.
7 You were running well. Who prevented you from obeying the truth?
Sibꞌalaj utz ya ibꞌanik nabꞌe. ¿Jachin xixqꞌilowik rech man kinimaj ta chi ri qas tzij?
8 This persuasion does not come from him who calls you!
Man are taj ri Dios kixqꞌatenik, jeriꞌ rumal are ri Dios xixsikꞌin apanoq pa ri kiritajik.
9 A little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise.
Iwetaꞌm chi jubꞌiqꞌ chꞌam kuchꞌamirisaj ronojel ri qꞌor.
10 I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will pay the penalty, whoever he is.
Ri in kꞌut qas jeqel na kꞌuꞌx chirij ri Ajawxel, wetaꞌm chi ix kijunamaj ri ichomabꞌal wukꞌ, are kꞌu ri xaq kixumenkꞌetij, kaqꞌat na tzij puꞌwiꞌ, xapachin na kꞌu ri kuxik.
11 Brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
Qachalal, we ta are kintzijoj chi konojel rajawaxik kakisakꞌij kibꞌ rech kuꞌx sukꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ riꞌ ketaniꞌ ri na kꞌulel chinutzukuxik rech kakibꞌan kꞌax chwe xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌax ri xuriq ri Cristo cho ri ripbꞌal man kuyak ta chi riꞌ koyawal.
12 As for those who are disturbing you, I wish they would castrate themselves!
Kꞌo ta bꞌanom wi chi riꞌ ri xaq kixkimenkꞌetij man xwi ta kakisakꞌij kibꞌ, xane chi kakesaj bꞌik ronojel ri kityoꞌjal riꞌ.
13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. But do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the sinful nature; rather, through love serve one another.
Jeriꞌ qachalal, pa kiritajem xixsikꞌix wi apanoq ix. Xwi che ri man kikoj ta ri kiritajem chubꞌanik ronojel ri karaj ri ityoꞌjal, xane chipatanij iwibꞌ chiꞌjujunal rukꞌ loqꞌanik.
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one command: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”
Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri taqanik kamulitajik xa pa jun tzij ri kubꞌij: Chaloqꞌaj ri awajil atzꞌaqat jetaq ri kabꞌan chuloqꞌaxik awibꞌ at.
15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
Are kꞌu we xaq jeꞌ kitiꞌ iwibꞌ xuqujeꞌ kitij iwibꞌ, qas chichajij bꞌa iwibꞌ rech man kitukij ta iwibꞌ chiꞌjujunal.
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the sinful nature.
Rumal riꞌ kinbꞌij chiꞌwe: Chinimaj ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Dios, man are ta kiwilij ri karaj ri ityoꞌjal ix.
17 For the desires of the sinful nature are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the sinful nature. For these are in conflict with each other, so that you cannot do the things you want.
Jeriꞌ rumal ri kurayij ri Uxlabꞌal man junam ta rukꞌ ri kurayij ri tyoꞌjal, we kebꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ riꞌ kakiqꞌatela taq kibꞌ rech man kibꞌan ix ri kiwaj.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
We kꞌu are ri Uxlabꞌal kakꞌamow ibꞌe, man ix kꞌo ta chi riꞌ chuxeꞌ ri taqanik.
19 Now the works of the sinful nature are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity,
Sibꞌalaj etaꞌmatal uwach ri uchak ri tyoꞌjal: Are ri kꞌulanem kukꞌ taq kakabꞌ ixoqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ kakabꞌ achyabꞌ, mak kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ, chꞌulujil, rayin makaj pa taq animaꞌaj.
20 idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, rivalry, dissension, divisions,
Qꞌijilaꞌn jastaq ri man are ta e dios, qꞌijinik, kꞌax pa taq kanimaꞌ chikij nikꞌaj chik, tzukun chꞌoꞌj, oyawal, paꞌin taj ibꞌ, oyawal rumal cher ronojel ri kakꞌulmatajik,
21 envy, drunkenness, drunken celebrations, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
kꞌax naꞌoj chike nikꞌaj chik, qꞌabꞌarik, nimaqꞌij jawjeꞌ kabꞌan wi etzelal xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj taq jastaq chik. Qas kinbꞌij kꞌu chiꞌwe chanim, jetaq ri nubꞌim loq chiꞌwe, ri winaq ri kakibꞌan we jastaq riꞌ man koꞌk ta pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
Are kꞌu ri uwachinik ri Uxlabꞌixel are ri loqꞌanik, kiꞌkotemal, jaꞌmaril, ayeꞌnik, utz laj noꞌjibꞌal, kojobꞌal,
23 gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law.
mochꞌochꞌem ibꞌ, xuqujeꞌ man kaqaya ta bꞌe che ri etzelal areꞌ kabꞌan rech pa qawiꞌ. Man kꞌo ta qꞌatoj tzij puꞌwiꞌ waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
Are kꞌu ri e rech chi ri Cristo, xriptaj kanoq ri kityoꞌjal rukꞌ ri kirayinik.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
We are ri Uxlabꞌal yoꞌwinaq qakꞌaslemal, qaya bꞌe che rech kukꞌam qabꞌe.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Maqanaꞌ nimal, xuqujeꞌ maqayak koyawal nikꞌaj chik rech jeriꞌ man kaqabꞌan ta kꞌax chibꞌil taq qibꞌ.
