Romanos 11
1 Rumal kꞌu wa kinta chiꞌwe: ¿La xa kꞌu xretzelaj ri Dios ri utinimit? Man je ta riꞌ. In in aj Israel, in rijaꞌl ri Abraham, uj petinaq chike ri winaq ri e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Benjamín.
I SAY then, Hath God rejected his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 Ri Dios man xretzelaj taj ri utinimit ri uchaꞌom loq ojer. ¿La man kꞌu iwetaꞌm ri kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik che ri Elías? Ri Elías xuꞌtzujuj ri winaq aꞌj Israel che ri Dios.
God hath not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession with God against Israel, saying,
3 Wajaw, ri winaq xeꞌkikamisaj kojonel ri e qꞌalajisal taq tzij la, xuqujeꞌ xeꞌkitukij ronojel ri tyoxalaj taq kꞌolibꞌal tzujbꞌal sipanik choch la. Xaq xwi ri in xinkꞌasiꞌ kanoq, are kꞌu kakaj kinkikamisaj.
“Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I only am left, and they seek my life.”
4 ¿Jas kꞌu xbꞌix che rumal ri Dios? Xbꞌix che: E Nuqꞌatom wuqubꞌ mil achyabꞌ ri man e xukulinaq ta wi choch ri Baal.
But what saith the oracle of God to him? “I have left to myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 Xaq jeriꞌ pa taq we qꞌij riꞌ xaq jeꞌ e koltal kanoq e jujun winaq ri e chaꞌtalik xa rumal ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios.
So then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 We rumal ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios xechaꞌik, man xechaꞌ ta riꞌ rumal ta ri kichak, we rumal ri kichak xechaꞌik, man toqꞌobꞌ ta bꞌa riꞌ.
But if by grace, it is no more by works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if by works, it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 ¿Jas kꞌu kaqabꞌij? Man konojel taj ri tinimit Israel xkiriq ri qas karaj ri kanimaꞌ, areꞌ kꞌu ri xechaꞌ rumal ri Dios, qas xkiriq wi ri xraj ri kanimaꞌ, are kꞌu ri nikꞌaj chik, xkowirisax ri kanimaꞌ.
What then is the result? Israel hath not obtained that which it seeketh; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded,
8 Jetaq ri kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatalik: Ri Dios xukowirisaj ri kanimaꞌ, xubꞌan chike chi pune kꞌo kibꞌoqꞌoch man kekaꞌy taj, xuqujeꞌ pune kꞌo kixikin, maj kitanabꞌal, jeriꞌ kꞌulmatajinaq kukꞌ kꞌa pa taq we qꞌij kamik riꞌ.
as it is written, “God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this present day.”
9 Ri David kubꞌij: Chuxoq ri kinimaqꞌij jun kꞌaꞌmabꞌal pa kibꞌe, xuqujeꞌ jun kꞌat rech ketzaq chupam, jeriꞌ kaqꞌat na tzij pa kiwiꞌ che utojbꞌalil ri kakibꞌano.
And David saith, “Let their table be for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompence unto them:
10 Chemoyiroq rech man kekaꞌy ta chik xuqujeꞌ kotokobꞌ ri uwo kachaq rech man kuꞌtzir ta wi.
let their eyes be blinded, that they may not see, and bow down their back continually.”
11 Chanim kꞌut kinta chiꞌwe: ¿La xa kꞌu xkitopij kaqan rech man xekwin ta chik xewaꞌjilik? Man je ta riꞌ, xane xa rumal ri kimak xpe ri kolotajem chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, rech jeriꞌ qas kakinaꞌ na kꞌax pa kanimaꞌ chike ri nikꞌaj winaq chik.
I say then, Have they stumbled so as to fall? God forbid: but by their stumbling salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
12 We are ri kimak ri tinimit Israel xqꞌinomarisan ri uwachulew, we are ri kitzaqem xbꞌanow qꞌinomabꞌ chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, are ta kꞌu mat sibꞌalaj nim na qꞌinomal kakiya na aꞌreꞌ ketzaratzobꞌ loq.
For if their stumbling is the riches of the world, and their diminution the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 Iwukꞌ ix kintzijon wi ri man ix aꞌj Israel taj. Jeriꞌ rumal cher in taqoꞌn chi kech ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, rumal riꞌ kinya uqꞌij ri nuchak.
For I address myself to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am indeed the apostle of the Gentiles, I exalt my ministry:
14 Wine rukꞌ we kinbꞌij riꞌ kinkwinik kinkoj kꞌax pa kanimaꞌ ri e nuwinaqil, wine rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ kekolotaj na jujun chike.
if by any means I might provoke to jealousy my flesh, and save some of them.
15 Jeriꞌ rumal we xukꞌam la utzirem chike ri winaq man aꞌj Israel taj are xetzelax kiwach ri aꞌj Israel, ¿la man kꞌu kayaꞌtaj na kikꞌaslemal we kekꞌamawaꞌx chi na junmul pune e kꞌo chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ?
For if the rejection of them is the reconciliation of the world, what shall their recovery be, but life from the dead?
16 We sibꞌalaj tyox ri nabꞌe taq jastaq ri katzuj cho ri Dios, tyoxirisatal xuqujeꞌ bꞌa riꞌ ri qꞌor ri kakanaj kanoq, we tyoxirisatal ri ukꞌaꞌmal ri cheꞌ, tyoxirisatal xuqujeꞌ bꞌa riꞌ ri uqꞌabꞌ ri cheꞌ.
Now if the first fruits be holy, so is the mass: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 We kꞌo jujun uqꞌabꞌ ri cheꞌ ri xesakꞌix bꞌik, ri at kꞌut, ri at juyubꞌil cheꞌ xaq xatnakꞌ ku che chikixoꞌl ri uqꞌabꞌ ri jeꞌl taq cheꞌ. Kakꞌamawaꞌj chi kꞌu awe ri uwaꞌl ri cheꞌ ri kape che ri ucheꞌal ri olivo.
But if some of the branches have been broken off, and thou though a wild olive hast been grafted in among them, and become a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Pune jeriꞌ, manaꞌ nimal chikiwach ri qas uqꞌabꞌ ri cheꞌ, naꞌtaj chawe chi man at taj katyoꞌw uchuqꞌabꞌ ri ukꞌaꞌmal ri cheꞌ xane are ri ukꞌaꞌmal ri cheꞌ kayoꞌw achuqꞌabꞌ at.
boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Wine kabꞌij: Xsakꞌix bꞌik nikꞌaj uqꞌabꞌ we cheꞌ riꞌ rumal riꞌ xinnakꞌ kan in.
Wilt thou say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in?
20 Pune qas tzij aꞌreꞌ xesakꞌix bꞌik rumal maj kikojobꞌal, at kꞌut rumal ri kojobꞌal ko at kꞌolik. Man kanaꞌ ta bꞌa nimal, xane chaxiꞌj awibꞌ.
Admitted; by unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high minded, but fear:
21 Ri Dios we man xutoqꞌobꞌisaj kiwach ri qas uqꞌabꞌ taq ri cheꞌ, man kutoqꞌobꞌisaj ta xuqujeꞌ riꞌ awach at ri xaq at nakꞌtal koq.
for if God spared not the native branches, tremble lest he spare not thee.
22 Rumal riꞌ chawila ri rutzilal xuqujeꞌ ri uqꞌatoj tzij ri Dios, ri uqꞌatoj tzij kukꞌ konojel ri xetzaqik, xuqujeꞌ ri rutzilal ri kukꞌut chawe at, we man katkꞌojiꞌ pa ri rutzilal ri Dios, katsakꞌix xuqujeꞌ na bꞌi riꞌ.
Behold therefore the kindness and severity of God: to those indeed who fell, severity; but unto thee, kindness, if thou continuest in that kindness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 Ri winaq aꞌj Israel we kakikoj ri kubꞌij ri Dios, kenakꞌ kꞌu na koq riꞌ, jeriꞌ rumal ri Dios kꞌo ukwinem rech kuꞌnakꞌ chi na koq junmul.
But they also, if they continue not in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 Jeriꞌ rumal we at xatsakꞌix bꞌik che jun juyubꞌil cheꞌ, awetaꞌm riꞌ chi at juyubꞌil are xatkꞌojiꞌk, xa xatnakꞌ koq che ri ucheꞌal ri olivo. Are ta kꞌu mat aninaq riꞌ kanakꞌiꞌ chi koq junmul ri uqꞌabꞌ ri cheꞌ ri qas ucheꞌal ri olivo.
For if thou hast been cut out of the naturally wild olive, and contrary to nature hast been grafted into the good olive: how much more shall these, which are native branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 Wachalal, kawaj kichomaj jas qas ubꞌantajik we jastaq riꞌ, rech jeriꞌ man kinaꞌ taj nimal. Nikꞌaj chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel xkowirisax ri kanimaꞌ, kakowirisax kꞌu na, kꞌa cheꞌkojon na konojel ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
For I would not that you should be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is come on Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 Kꞌa te riꞌ konojel ri winaq aꞌj Israel kekolotaj na, jetaq kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatalik: Pa Sión kape wi na ri Kolonel, Areꞌ kesan na bꞌik ri mak kech ri rijaꞌl ri Jacob.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, “The Deliverer shall go forth out of Sion, and shalt turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27 Are waꞌ ri chomanik ri kinbꞌan na kukꞌ aꞌreꞌ we xinkuy ri kimak.
and this is my covenant with them, When I shall take away their sins.”
28 Ri winaq aꞌj Israel kikꞌulel ri Dios xa rumal ri utz laj tzij, rech utz kubꞌan chiꞌwe ix. We kꞌu are kaqilo jachin nabꞌe xchaꞌ rumal ri Dios, kaqilo chi aꞌreꞌ e loqꞌ kumal kech ri kitat kinan.
As concerning the gospel indeed, they are now enemies for your sakes: as concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
29 Jeriꞌ rumal man kakꞌexen ta wi ri usipanik ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri usikꞌinik.
For unchangeable are the gifts and the calling of God.
30 Jacha ri ix, man kixniman ta che ri Dios ojer, kamik kꞌut xyaꞌtaj ri toqꞌobꞌ chiꞌwe rumal man xeniman taj aꞌreꞌ.
For as ye also in times past did not believe in God, but now have obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Are kꞌu ri man xeniman taj, rech kayaꞌtaj ri toqꞌobꞌ chiꞌwe ix, kayaꞌtaj na ri toqꞌobꞌ chike.
so also these now have not believed in your mercy, that they also might obtain mercy.
32 Jeriꞌ rumal ri Dios xubꞌan chike chi man keniman taj, rech jeriꞌ kutoqꞌobꞌisaj na kiwach kojonel. (eleēsē g1653)
For God hath shut up all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. (eleēsē g1653)
33 ¡Sibꞌalaj nim ri uqꞌinomal ri retaꞌmabꞌal ri Dios, maj jun kachꞌobꞌowik! ¡Maj jun kakwinik karetaꞌmaj ri uqꞌatoj tzij, xuqujeꞌ man kabꞌan ta rajilaxik ri ubꞌe!
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and how incomprehensible his ways!
34 Jeriꞌ rumal ¿Jachin xchꞌobꞌow ri kꞌo pa ri uchomanik ri Dios? O ¿jachin xyoꞌw unoꞌj?
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been admitted his counsellor?
35 ¿Jachin on xyoꞌw uqajanik ri Dios, kꞌa te riꞌ xtoj che?
Or who hath first given unto him, and it shall be repaid him again?
