Gálatas 3

1 Ri ix ix aj Galacia, ¡sibꞌalaj man kꞌo taj iwetaꞌmabꞌal! ¿Jachin xbꞌanow chiꞌwe chi man kinimaj ta ri qas tzij, ri xkꞌut chiꞌwach chirij ri Cristo ri xekebꞌax cho ri ripbꞌal?

O inconsiderate Galatians! who has deceived you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ crucified, was evidently represented among you?

2 Xwi kawaj kinwetaꞌmaj: ¿La xikꞌamawaꞌj ri Uxlabꞌal rumal ri chak ri kuta ri taqanik, o xa rumal ri xitatabꞌej ri tzij rukꞌ kojobꞌal?

This, only, I wish to learn from you, did you receive the Spirit by works of law, or by obedience of faith?

3 ¿La xa kꞌu sibꞌalaj maj iwetaꞌmabꞌal? Nabꞌe xichapleꞌj pa ri Uxlabꞌal ¿la kꞌa te kꞌu riꞌ kiwaj kitzꞌaqatisaj rukꞌ ri ichuqꞌabꞌ pa ri ityoꞌjal?

Are you so inconsiderate that, having begun in Spirit, you are now made perfect in flesh?

4 ¿La xaq kꞌu xiriq kꞌax kꞌa te riꞌ man kꞌo ta kichꞌek che? Pune man kinkoj taj chi mat kꞌo kichꞌek che ri jastaq ri xibꞌano.

Have you suffered so many things in vain? if, indeed, it is in vain?

5 Ri Dios ri kuya ri Uxlabꞌal chiꞌwe rech kibꞌan mayijabꞌal taq jastaq chiꞌxoꞌl, ¿la kubꞌan kꞌut rumal ri chak ri kutoqꞌij ri taqanik o kubꞌano rumal ri kojobꞌal ri xikojo chukꞌamawaꞌxik ri tzij?

He, then, who ministered to you the Spirit, and wrought miracles among you, did he these by works of law, or by a hearing of faith?

6 Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmatajik rukꞌ ri Abraham, xukojo ri xbꞌix che rumal ri Dios rumal riꞌ xbꞌix che chi jun sukꞌ achi.

even as Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness;

7 Xaq jeriꞌ, chiwetaꞌmaj chi ri e rijaꞌl ri Abraham are ri kꞌo kikojobꞌal.

know, therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

8 Qas tzij wi, ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik ojer xubꞌij loq chi ri Dios kubꞌan na sukꞌ chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj rumal ri kikojobꞌal, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij che ri Abraham: Rumal awe ketewchiꞌtaj na konojel ri e tinimit rech ri uwachulew.

For the scripture, foreshowing that God would justify the nations by faith, formerly announced the gospel to Abraham, saying, "Surely in you shall all the nations be blessed."

9 Xaq jeriꞌ ri e kꞌaslik pa ri kikojobꞌal e tewchiꞌtal rukꞌ ri kojonel Abraham.

Wherefore, they who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

10 Konojel ri are kakubꞌiꞌ kikꞌuꞌx che ubꞌanik ri chak ri kuta ri taqanik, e kꞌo chuxeꞌ ri etzelal, jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Etzelatajinaq uwach ri winaq ri man kubꞌan ta ronojel ri kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatal pa ri wuj rech ri taqanik.

But as many as are of works of law, are under the curse: for it is written, "Accursed is every one who continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them."

11 Xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta jun kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che rumal ri taqanik. Jeriꞌ rumal ri sukꞌ winaq kakꞌasiꞌk rumal ri kojobꞌal.

Besides, that by law no one is justified before God is manifest: "For the just by faith shall live."

12 Ri taqanik man rech ta ri kojobꞌal, xane kubꞌij: Ri winaq ri kubꞌan we jastaq riꞌ kakꞌasiꞌ na rumal rech.

Now, the law is not of faith; but he who does these things, shall live by them.

13 Ri Cristo xujresaj loq pa ri etzelal rech ri taqanik are xubꞌan itzel chibꞌil ribꞌ xa rumal qe, jetaq kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik: Etzelatajinaq uwach ri karip cho jun che.

Christ has bought us off from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: (for it is written, "Accursed is every one who is hanged on a tree": )

14 Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmatajik rech xa rumal ri Cristo Jesús, ri tewechibꞌal rech ri Abraham xopan kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, rech jeriꞌ rumal ri kojobꞌal kaqakꞌamawaꞌj ri tzujtal loq chaqe rumal ri Uxlabꞌal.

that the blessing of Abraham might come on the nations through Christ Jesus; and that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15 Qachalal, kinkoj jun kꞌutbꞌal chiꞌwach: Jun chꞌekom tzij, pune xa rech achi, we xbꞌantajik, man kꞌo ta chi jun karesaj jubꞌiqꞌ che ri xbꞌiꞌtajik xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta chi jun kabꞌinik chi man kꞌo ta kutayij.

Brethren, I speak after the manner of men: no one sets aside, or alters a man's Will, after it is ratified.

16 Je kꞌu riꞌ, ri tzujtal loq, che ri Abraham xbꞌix wi loq xuqujeꞌ ri rijaꞌl. Ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik man kubꞌij taj chike ri e rijaꞌl, je ta ne ri e kꞌo kꞌi, xane che ri rijaꞌl ri kel kubꞌij chi xa jun, are waꞌ ri Cristo.

Now, to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He does not say, "And in seeds," as concerning many; but as concerning one person, "And in your see," who is Christ.

17 Ri kawaj kinbꞌij are we riꞌ: Ri chꞌekom tzij ri xbꞌanik ojer rukꞌ ri Dios man kakwin taj ri taqanik ri kꞌa te xpe chi kajibꞌ ciento rukꞌ juwinaq lajuj junabꞌ chuchupik rech man kesax ta uchuqꞌabꞌ ri tzujtal loq.

Wherefore, this I affirm, that the Will which was before ratified by God concerning Christ, the law, which was made four hundred and thirty years after can not annul, so as to abolish the promise.

18 Rumal cher we ta kayaꞌtaj ri echabꞌal xa rumal ri taqanik riꞌ man kayaꞌtaj taj rumal cher xa tzujtal loq. Ri Dios kꞌut xuya ri echabꞌal che ri Abraham xa rumal ri utzujum loq che.

Besides, if the inheritance be by law, it is no longer by promise. But God bestowed it freely on Abraham by promise.

19 ¿Jas kꞌu xutayij ri taqanik? Xyaꞌtajik rech jeriꞌ kaqꞌalajinik chi man utz ta ri tajin kabꞌanik, kꞌa xpe na ri rijaꞌl ri Abraham ri tzujtal loq chi kape na. Are ri angelibꞌ xeyoꞌwik ri taqanik puꞌqꞌabꞌ jun chꞌawenel.

Why, then, the law? It was added on account of transgression, till the seed should come to whom it was promised; being ordained by messengers, in the hand of a Mediator;

20 Xaq jeriꞌ man kꞌo ta kutayij jun chꞌawenel we xa jun kabꞌan rech, ri Dios kꞌut xa jun.

and the Mediator is not one party; but God is one party.

21 We jeriꞌ ubꞌanik we jastaq riꞌ, ¿la ukꞌulel kꞌu ri taqanik ri utzujum loq ri Dios? Man je ta riꞌ. We ta kakwin ri taqanik, ri xyaꞌtajik, chuyaꞌik kꞌaslemal ri maj ukꞌisik, are ta bꞌa ri taqanik riꞌ kayoꞌw sukꞌal.

Is the law, then, contrary to the promise of God? By no means. For if there had been a law given, which was able to make alive, certainly righteousness would have been by law.

22 Are kꞌu ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij chi konojel ri winaq aꞌjuwachulew e kꞌo chuxeꞌ ri mak, jeriꞌ rech rumal ri kojobꞌal pa Jesucristo, kayaꞌtaj na chike ri tzujtal loq.

But the scripture has shut up together all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

23 Are majaꞌ kape we kojobꞌal riꞌ, uj jatꞌital chuxeꞌ ri taqanik, ujtzꞌapitalik qayeꞌm ri kojobꞌal ri kakꞌut na chiqawach.

Wherefore, before faith came, we were kept in durance under law, shut up together to the faith, which should afterward be revealed.

24 Xaq jeriꞌ ri taqanik xpe chukꞌamik qabꞌe rech xujpe rukꞌ ri Cristo, jeriꞌ kabꞌantaj sukꞌ chaqe rumal ri kojobꞌal.

So that the law has become our instructor to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 Kamik kꞌut chi kꞌo chi ri kojobꞌal, man xa ta chi kakꞌam qabꞌe.

But faith being come, we are no longer under this instructor.

26 Iwonojel ix ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios xa rumal ri ikojobꞌal pa Cristo Jesús.

For you are all the sons of God through the faith by Christ Jesus.

27 Jeriꞌ rumal konojel ri xbꞌantaj kiqasanaꞌ pa Cristo, are xkatzꞌyaqibꞌej ri Cristo.

Besides, as many of you have been immersed into Christ, have put on Christ.

28 Man kꞌo ta chi aj Israel xuqujeꞌ man aj Israel taj, man kꞌo ta chi achi xuqujeꞌ ixoq, man kꞌo ta chi ajchak xuqujeꞌ man ajchak taj, xane iwonojel ix, xa ix jun pa Cristo Jesús.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bondman nor freeman, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 Kamik kꞌut chi ix rech chi ri Cristo, qas ix rijaꞌl ri Abraham, xuqujeꞌ ix echaꞌnel rech ri utzujum loq ri Dios.

And if you are Christ's, certainly you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
