Romans 7
1 Are ye ignorant, brethren — for to those knowing law I speak — that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?
Qachalal, tajin kixinchꞌabꞌej ix ri iwetaꞌm ri utaqanik ri Moisés. ¿La man iwetaꞌm chi jun winaq kꞌo chuxeꞌ ri taqanik are kꞌaslik?
2 for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;
Kinkoj jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chiꞌwach. Ri kꞌulanik ixoq are kꞌaslik nukꞌtal rukꞌ ri rachajil rumal ri taqanik, we kꞌu kakam ri rachajil, ri ixoq kel kanoq chuxeꞌ ri taqanik ri e nukꞌuwinaq rukꞌ ri rachajil.
3 so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's.
Rumal riꞌ, ri ixoq we kakꞌuliꞌ rukꞌ chi jun achi are kꞌas na ri rachajil, kux ajmak rumal kuꞌx e kebꞌ rachajil. Are kꞌu we kakam ri rachajil, ri ixoq kel kan chuxeꞌ ri taqanik, xuqujeꞌ man kamakun taj we kakꞌuliꞌ chi ne rukꞌ jun achi.
4 So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;
Je xuqujeꞌ ri ix wachalal, xixkamik pa ri taqanik pa ri utyoꞌjal ri Cristo ri xripik, rech jeriꞌ kixux rech ri xkꞌastajisax chkixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ. Rech jeriꞌ kꞌo kaqatayij che ri Dios.
5 for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that [are] through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;
Nabꞌe, are ri najtir qakꞌaslemal kabꞌan kan rech pa qawiꞌ, ri itzel taq rayinik ri xukꞌasuj ri taqanik rech jeriꞌ ri qatyoꞌjal, xux rech kamikal.
6 and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.
Kamik kꞌut man uj kꞌo ta chi chuxeꞌ ri taqanik, jeriꞌ rumal cher xujkam pa ri taqanik, xa jeriꞌ kujpatanij pa ri kꞌakꞌ ajawarem rech ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel, man chuxeꞌ taj ri taqanik.
7 What, then, shall we say? the law [is] sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:
¿Jas kꞌu ri kaqabꞌij? ¿La are kꞌu mak ri taqanik? Man are taj. Xwi kaqabꞌij chi we ta mat rumal ri taqanik mat xinwil ri numak, mat xinwetaꞌmaj jas riꞌ ri urayixik chi jun jastaq chik ri man rech ta jun, we ta mat kubꞌij ri taqanik: “Marayij ri man awech taj.”
8 'Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness — for apart from law sin is dead.
Ri mak kꞌut xnimatajik rumal ri taqanik, xukꞌasuj pa ri wanimaꞌ ronojel uwach itzel taq rayinik. Jeriꞌ, rumal chi we ta mat kꞌo ri taqanik, mat xukꞌut ribꞌ riꞌ ri mak.
9 And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;
Ojer kanoq man in kꞌo taj chuxeꞌ ri taqanik. Are xpe ri taqanik, xyaꞌtaj ukꞌaslemal ri makaj, ri in kꞌut xinkamik.
10 and the command that [is] for life, this was found by me for death;
Xinwilo chi ri taqanik ri chinuwach in kuya nukꞌaslemal, xuya kamikal chwe.
11 for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay [me];
Ri makaj rumal ri taqanik xinumenkꞌetij, rumal riꞌ xinukamisaj.
12 so that the law, indeed, [is] holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.
Kꞌisbꞌal rech kaqabꞌij chi ri taqanik sibꞌalaj Tyox, sukꞌ xuqujeꞌ utz.
13 That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,
¿La are kꞌu xux utzilal chinuwach in ri kamikal? Man je ta riꞌ, xane are ri makaj rech kukꞌut ribꞌ chi are mak, xinukamisaj rukꞌ ri utzilal, rech rumal ri taqanik ri makaj xux itzel.
14 for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;
Qetaꞌm chi ri Taqanik rech ri uxlabꞌal, are kꞌu in xa in tyoꞌj, in kꞌayital pa uqꞌabꞌ ri mak.
15 for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.
Rumal riꞌ man kinchꞌobꞌ taj ri kinbꞌano. Man kinbꞌan taj ri kawaj kinbꞌano, ri kinwetzelaj ubꞌanik, are kinbꞌano.
16 And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that [it is] good,
We are kinbꞌan ri man kawaj taj kinbꞌano, tajin kinbꞌij riꞌ chi utz ri taqanik.
17 and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,
Xaq jeriꞌ man in ta chik kinbꞌanow ri jastaq riꞌ, xane are ri makaj ri kꞌo chwe.
18 for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,
Xuqujeꞌ wetaꞌm chi man kꞌo ta ri utzilal pa ri nutyoꞌjal, pune kawaj kinbꞌan ri utzilal, man kinkwin taj chubꞌanik.
19 for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.
Rumal riꞌ man kinbꞌan taj ri utzilal ri kawaj kinbꞌano, xane are kinbꞌan ri etzelal ri man kawaj taj kinbꞌano.
20 And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.
We kꞌu are kawaj kinbꞌan ri man kawaj taj kinbꞌano, man in ta chi riꞌ tajin kinbꞌanowik, xane are ri etzelal ri kꞌo pa wanimaꞌ.
21 I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,
Xaq jeriꞌ are kawaj kinbꞌan ri utzilal, kinwil ri taqanik ri kubꞌij chi ri etzelal pa wanimaꞌ in kꞌo wi xuqujeꞌ are tajin kinwilij ubꞌanik.
22 for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,
Pa ri ukꞌuꞌx ri wanimaꞌ kinkiꞌkotebꞌej ri utaqanik ri Dios.
23 and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that [is] in my members.
Kinwil kꞌut chi pa ri nutyoꞌjal kꞌo chi jun taqanik, are taqanik rech ri makaj. We taqanik riꞌ kakitij chuqꞌabꞌ rukꞌ ri taqanik rech ri nuchomabꞌal, in utzꞌapim.
24 A wretched man I [am]! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?
¡Kꞌax we! ¿Jachin kakwinik kintoꞌw chech waꞌ we tyoꞌjal rech kamikal?
25 I thank God — through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.
Xa kꞌu kintyoxin che ri Dios, ri xinukiro pa Jesucristo ri Ajawxel. In rukꞌ ri nuchomabꞌal kinpatanij ri utaqanik ri Dios, are kꞌu ri nutyoꞌjal are kupatanij ri taqanik rech ri mak.
