Romanos 10

1 Qachalal, ri kurayij ri wanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri nuchꞌawem cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel are chi kekolotajik.

BRETHREN, the kind wish of my heart indeed, and the prayer which I offer to God for Israel, is for their salvation.

2 Qas tzij kinqꞌalajisaj chiꞌwach chi ri winaq aꞌj Israel qas kakaj wi kakipatanij ri Dios xa kꞌu man rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal kakibꞌano.

For I am a witness for them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

3 Man xketaꞌmaj ta uwach ri usukꞌal ri Dios, are xkaj xkibꞌan ri kisukꞌal aꞌreꞌ, man xkimochꞌ ta kibꞌ pa ri usukꞌal ri Dios.

For being ignorant of the righteousness which is of God, and seeking to establish a righteousness of their own, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

4 Ri taqanik are xraj xukꞌut ri Cristo, rech jeriꞌ kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che ri kakojon che Areꞌ.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

5 Ri Moisés xutzꞌibꞌaj ri sukꞌal ri kuya ri taqanik xubꞌij: Ri achi ri are karilij ubꞌanik we jastaq riꞌ, kakꞌasiꞌk rumal re.

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, “That the man who doeth these things shall live by them.”

6 Are kꞌu ri sukꞌal ri kakꞌamawaꞌx xa rumal ri kojobꞌal kubꞌij: Man kabꞌij ta pa ri awanimaꞌ, ¿jachin kapaqiꞌ pa ri kaj? We jewaꞌ kabꞌij are kawaj riꞌ kaqasaj loq ri Cristo choch ri uwachulew.

But the righteousness that is by faith speaketh thus, “Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down: )

7 Mabꞌij xuqujeꞌ: ¿Jachin riꞌ ri kaqaj bꞌik pa ri ukꞌuꞌx ri ulew? (Rech kuꞌkꞌastajisaj loq ri Cristo chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ.) (Abyssos g12)

or, Who shall descend into the abyss?” (that is, to bring Christ up again from the dead.) (Abyssos g12)

8 ¿Jas kꞌu kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatalik? Chanaqaj kꞌo wi ri tzij; kꞌo pa ri achiꞌ xuqujeꞌ pa ri awanimaꞌ. Are waꞌ ri tzij rech kojobꞌal ri kaqatzijoj.

But what saith it? “The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart:” that is, the word of faith which we preach;

9 We che ri achiꞌ kabꞌij chi ri Jesús are Awajaw xuqujeꞌ kakoj pa awanimaꞌ chi are ri Dios xkꞌastajisan chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ, katkolotajik.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 Rumal cher pa ranimaꞌ jun kukoj wi rech kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che, xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ri uchiꞌ kuqꞌalajisaj rech kakolotajik.

For with the heart faith is exercised unto righteousness; and with the mouth is confession made unto salvation.

11 Ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Xapachin ri kakojonik che areꞌ man kel taj ukꞌixibꞌal.

For the scripture saith, “Every one who believeth in him shall not be confounded.”

12 Man e jaljoj ta wi ri winaq aꞌj Israel kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj. Jeriꞌ rumal ri Ajawxel, Ajawxel kech konojel xuqujeꞌ kuya nimalaj tewechibꞌal pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri kakinaꞌtaj ri ubꞌiꞌ.

For there is no difference between either Jew or Greek: for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call upon him.

13 Jeꞌ rumal xapachin ri kunaꞌtaj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel, kakolotaj na.

“For every one shall be saved, whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord.”

14 ¿La kekwin kꞌut kakinaꞌtaj ubꞌiꞌ ri man e kojoninaq ta che ri ubꞌiꞌ? ¿La kekojon kꞌu riꞌ che ri man kitom ta wi? ¿La kakita kꞌu riꞌ we man kꞌo jun katzijon chike?

How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? but how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 ¿La kꞌo kꞌu jun riꞌ keꞌ chutzijoxik we man nabꞌe kataq bꞌik? Ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Sibꞌalaj jeꞌl ukꞌamawaꞌxik ri qꞌalajisal rech jaꞌmaril, ri rukꞌaꞌm loq utz laj tzij.

and how shall they preach unless they are sent? as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, of those who preach the glad tidings of good things!”

16 Pune jeriꞌ man konojel taj ri winaq aꞌj Israel xkikꞌamawaꞌj ri utz laj taq tzij. Ri Isaías kubꞌij: ¿Ajawxel, jachin xkojon che ri tzij ri xqatzijoj?

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, “Lord, who hath believed our report?”

17 Xaq jeriꞌ ri kojobꞌal kakꞌiyik we katatabꞌex ri utzij ri Dios ronojel qꞌij.

Faith then cometh by report, but the report by the word of God.

18 Kinbꞌij kꞌut: ¿La man kꞌu xkito? Jas man xkita wi. Ri uchꞌabꞌal xtataj pa ronojel ri uwachulew, xopan pa ri kꞌisbꞌal taq rech ri uwachulew.

But I say, Have they not heard? Yea verily, “the sound of their voice is gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.”

19 Kinbꞌij xuqujeꞌ ¿la man kꞌu xkichꞌobꞌ waꞌ we riꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel? Qas nabꞌe ri Moisés kubꞌij: Qas kinbꞌan na chi kꞌax kinaꞌ chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj; qas kayakataj na iwoyawal kumal ke.

But I say, Did not Israel know? Moses first saith, “I will excite your jealousy by what is no nation, and by an ignorant people will I provoke you to wrath.”

20 Kꞌa te riꞌ ri Isaías kubꞌij: Xinya bꞌe xinkiriq ri winaq ri man tajin taj kinkitzukuj. Xinkꞌut wibꞌ chikiwach ri man kakitatabꞌela la taj in jachin ri in.

But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, “I have been found by those who sought me not; I have become manifest to those who inquired not after me.”

21 Kubꞌij kꞌu che ri Israel: Ronojel qꞌij xinlikꞌ apanoq ri nuqꞌabꞌ chukꞌamawaꞌxik ri tinimit ri man kaniman ta wi, xaq xinakꞌululaꞌj.

But unto Israel he saith, “All the day long have I stretched out my hands unto a people disobedient and contradicting.”
