Romanos 12
1 Xaq jeriꞌ wachalal, qas kinta chiꞌwe pa ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios chi kitzuj ri ityoꞌjal, jetaq jun kꞌaslik sipanik chuqꞌijilaꞌxik ri Dios pa chꞌajchꞌojil, rumal cher are waꞌ ri qꞌijilaꞌnem ri kaqaj cho ri Dios.
Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
2 Man kiwesaj ta kiwach ri kakibꞌan ri winaq aꞌjuwachulew, xane chikꞌexa ri kixchomanik, rech kichomaj jas ri uchomanik ri Dios ri qas sukꞌ xuqujeꞌ tzꞌaqat. (aiōn g165)
Do not be conformed to this age (aiōn g165), but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
3 Rumal ri toqꞌobꞌ ri yaꞌtal chwe, kinbꞌij chiꞌwe: Maj bꞌa jun kunaꞌ nimal chiꞌwe cho ri qas taqal che, xane qas chuchomaj na jun jachin ri areꞌ rukꞌ sukꞌal, jetaq ri unimal ri ukojobꞌal ri yaꞌtalik rumal ri Dios.
For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
4 Jacha ta ne ri utyoꞌjal jun winaq sibꞌalaj kꞌi jastaq kꞌo che, man konojel ta kꞌut xa jun uwach chak kakibꞌano, xane jaljoj taq ri kakichakuj.
For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,
5 Xaq jeriꞌ uj pune uj sibꞌalaj kꞌi, xa jun qaꞌnik pa Cristo, ronojel ri ujwokol wiꞌ rachiꞌl ribꞌ ronojel.
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
6 Jaljoj taq ri sipanik ri yaꞌtal chaqe rumal ri toqꞌobꞌ. We yaꞌtal che jun ri sipanik rech qꞌalajisanik rech ri Uxlabꞌixel, chukojo bꞌa rukꞌ ri unimal ri kojobꞌal ri yaꞌtal che.
having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
7 We are ri sipanik rech patanijik yaꞌtal che jun, patanijoq, we are ri rech kꞌutuꞌn chuya ri kꞌutuꞌn.
or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
8 We are yaꞌtal chaqe ri sipanik chikitaqchiꞌxik nikꞌaj chik, jeriꞌ qabꞌanaꞌ. We are yaꞌtal ri sipanik chaqe chikitoꞌik ri kꞌo kirajawaxik, chujtobꞌanoq. We are xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌamoj bꞌe ke nikꞌaj chik, utz bꞌana che ukꞌamik kibꞌe, xuqujeꞌ bꞌanoq rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal.
or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Man xaq ta kijaluj uloqꞌaxik iwibꞌ, chiwetzelaj ri etzelal, are chitereneꞌj ubꞌanik ri utzilal.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
10 Chiloqꞌaj iwibꞌ chiꞌjujunal, nim chiwila ibꞌ, nim chiwila iwibꞌ chibꞌil taq iwibꞌ.
In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,
11 Ri jastaq ri rajawaxik sakꞌajil chubꞌanik, chibꞌana rukꞌ sakꞌajil, man rukꞌ taj saqꞌoril, chipatanij ri Ajawxel rukꞌ ichuqꞌabꞌ.
not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
12 Chixkiꞌkot pa ri ukuꞌlibꞌal ikꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios, chikochꞌo ri kꞌax ri kiriqo, amaqꞌel chibꞌana chꞌawem.
rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,
13 Chiꞌtoꞌ ri iwachalal, chiꞌkꞌamawaꞌj cho taq iwachoch are kixkisolij.
contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.
14 Chiꞌtewechiꞌj ri kakibꞌan kꞌax chiꞌwe; chiꞌtewechiꞌj, man xa ta kiꞌwetzelaj.
Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.
15 Chixkiꞌkot kukꞌ ri keꞌkiꞌkotik, chixoqꞌ kukꞌ ri koꞌqꞌik.
Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
16 Xa jun chibꞌana che ri ichomabꞌal. Minaꞌ nimal, xane nim chiꞌwila ri kakimochꞌ kibꞌ. Mibꞌij chi xaq xwi ri ix kꞌo iwetaꞌm.
Be of the same mind one toward another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own conceits.
17 Mitoj ukꞌaxel ri etzelal ri kabꞌan chiꞌwe, are chibꞌana ri utzilal chikiwach ri winaq.
Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.
18 We kixkwinik, chixkꞌol pa jaꞌmaril kukꞌ konojel ri winaq.
If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
19 Wachalal, man kitoj ta ukꞌaxel ri etzelal ri kabꞌan chiꞌwe, ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: In kintojow na ukꞌaxel ri kꞌax ri kakibꞌano.
Do not seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”
20 Xaq jeriꞌ: We kanum ri akꞌulel, chatzuquꞌ, we kachaqiꞌj uchiꞌ, chaya ujaꞌ. We jeriꞌ kabꞌano ri winaq ri itzel kanoꞌjin chawe kakꞌix na.
Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Man kaya ta bꞌe che ri etzelal kok pa awanimaꞌ, xane chachꞌeka ri etzelal rukꞌ ri utzilal.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
