Romanos 4
1 ¿Jas kꞌu kaqabꞌij che ri xkꞌulmataj rukꞌ ri Abraham ri qatiꞌt qamam?
What shall we saye then that Abraham oure father as pertayninge to ye flesshe dyd finde?
2 We ta xbꞌan sukꞌ che rumal ri utz taq chak ri xubꞌano, xunaꞌ ta nimal riꞌ pune man kakwin taj kubꞌan nimal cho ri Dios.
If Abraham were iustified by dedes the hath he wherin to reioyce: but not with god.
3 ¿Jas kꞌu kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatalik? Ri Abraham xukoj ri xubꞌij ri Dios che, rumal riꞌ xbꞌix che chi sukꞌ achi.
For what sayth the scripture? Abraham beleved god and it was counted vnto him for rightewesnes.
4 Kamik kꞌut we kꞌo jun kachakunik, ri tojbꞌal rech man xa ta kasipaxik, xane xa katoj bꞌik ri kꞌasaj che.
To him that worketh is the rewarde not reckened of favour: but of duty.
5 Are kꞌu ri man kachakun taj, xane xaq xwi kakojon che ri kabꞌanow sukꞌ che ri itzel winaq, are kil ri ukojobꞌal rech jeriꞌ kabꞌan sukꞌ che.
To him that worketh not but beleveth on him that iustifieth the vngodly is his fayth counted for rightewesnes.
6 Ri David xuqujeꞌ xubꞌij chi utz rech ri achi ri kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che rumal ri Dios, man rumal taj ri uchak.
Even as David describeth the blessedfulnes of the man vnto whom god ascribeth rihgtewesnes without dedes.
7 Jewaꞌ xubꞌij: Utz ke ri kekuyutaj che ri etzelal ri kibꞌanom xuqujeꞌ kachꞌuqtaj ri kimak.
Blessed are they whose vnrightewesnes are forgeven and whose synnes are covered.
8 Utz rech ri achi ri man are ta kil ri umak rumal ri Dios.
Blessed is that ma to whom the Lorde imputeth not synne.
9 ¿La xaq xwi kꞌu yaꞌtal we riꞌ chike ri okisatal ketal? ¿La man kꞌu yaꞌtal xuqujeꞌ chike ri man e kojtal ta ketal? Xbꞌiꞌtaj qumal chi ri Abraham xbꞌix sukꞌ che rumal ri ukojobꞌal.
Came this blessednes then vpon the circumcised or vpon the vncircucised? We saye verely how that fayth was rekened to Abraham for rightewesnes.
10 ¿Jas kꞌu rumal xbꞌantaj sukꞌ che? ¿La bꞌantajinaq chi kꞌu sukꞌ che are xokisax retal o are majaꞌ kokisax ri retal? Bꞌantal chi sukꞌ are majaꞌ kakoj retal.
How was it rekened? in the tyme of circumcision? or in the tyme before he was circumcised? Not in tyme of circucision: but when he was yet vncircumcised.
11 Xuqujeꞌ are majaꞌ kakoj retal, xukꞌamawaꞌj ri etal jetaq jun etal rech ri sukꞌal ri xkꞌamawaꞌx pa ri kojobꞌal. Jeriꞌ ri Abraham kitat kojonel ri kekojonik, pune man kojtal ketal, rech xa rumal ri kikojobꞌal kabꞌan sukꞌ chike.
And he receaved the signe of circumcision as a seale of yt rightewesnes which is by fayth which fayth he had yet beynge vncircucised: that he shuld be the father of all them that beleve though they be not circumcised that rightewesnes myght be imputed to them also:
12 Xuqujeꞌ kitat konojel ri winaq ri man xwi ta xkoj ketal xane kitereneꞌm ri unoꞌjibꞌal ri qatat Abraham, areꞌ xkojonik are majaꞌ kakoj retal.
and that he myght be the father of the circumcised not because they are circumcised only: but because they walke also in the steppes of that fayth yt was in oure father Abraham before the tyme of circumcision.
13 Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Dios man xubꞌij ta chike ri Abraham xuqujeꞌ ri e rijaꞌl chi kakechabꞌej na ronojel ri uwachulew rumal ri taqanik, xane kakechabꞌej na rumal ri kojobꞌal.
For the promes that he shuld be the heyre of the worlde was not geven to Abraha or to his seed thorow the lawe: but thorow ye rightewesnes which cometh of fayth.
14 Rumal kꞌu cher we ta are eꞌchanel ri e kꞌo chuxeꞌ ri taqanik, maj bꞌa kutayij riꞌ ri kojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ maj kutayij ri bꞌiꞌtal loq.
For yf they which are of the lawe be heyres then is fayth but vayne and the promes of none effecte.
15 Ri taqanik xaq xwi rukꞌaꞌm loq qꞌatoj tzij, jawjeꞌ maj wi taqanik maj xuqujeꞌ makaj.
Because the lawe causeth wrathe. For where no lawe is there is no trasgression.
16 Rumal riꞌ, xa rumal ri kojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri toqꞌobꞌ, kape ri bꞌiꞌtal loq rech jeriꞌ kajeqiꞌ chike konojel ri e rijaꞌl, man xaq xwi taj chike ri e kꞌo chuxeꞌ ri taqanik xane xuqujeꞌ chike ri kꞌo kikojobꞌal jetaq ri rech ri Abraham, are kitat konojel ri kekojonik.
Therfore by fayth is the inheritauce geven that it myght come of faveour: and the promes myght be sure to all the seed. Not to them only which are of the lawe: but also to them which are of the fayth of Abraham which is the father of vs all.
17 Jetaq kubꞌij ri Tyoxalaj Wuj: Nubꞌim chawe chi katux na kitat sibꞌalaj e kꞌi tinimit winaq, xaq jeriꞌ ri Abraham xkojonik che ri Dios ri kuya kikꞌaslemal ri kaminaqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ kubꞌij chi ri jastaq ri majaꞌ kilitaj uwach, kꞌo chik.
As it is wrytten: I have made the a father to many nacions even before god whom thou hast beleved which quyckeneth the deed and called those thinges which be not as though they were.
18 Ri Abraham xukojo xuqujeꞌ xrayeꞌj rech jeriꞌ xux na kitat sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq. Jetaq ri xbꞌix che: Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi na ri awijaꞌl.
Which Abraham contrary to hope beleved in hope that he shuld be the father of many nacions accordynge to that which was spoken:
19 Man xchuquchubꞌ taj chukojik ri xbꞌix che pune riꞌj chik, kaminaq chik ri utyoꞌjal, jeriꞌ rumal jun ciento chik ujunabꞌ, xuqujeꞌ ri Sara man kakwin ta chik kekꞌojiꞌ ral.
So shall thy seed be. And he faynted not in the fayth nor yet consydered hys awne body which was now deed even when he was almost an hondred yeare olde: nether yet that Sara was past chyldeberinge.
20 Man xkabꞌalaj ta ukꞌuꞌx chukojik ri ubꞌim loq ri Dios che, xane sibꞌalaj xjeqiꞌ pa ri ukojobꞌal, xuqujeꞌ xuya uqꞌij ri Dios.
He stackered not at the promes of God thorow vnbelefe: but was made stronge in the fayth and gave honour to God
21 Sibꞌalaj xjeqiꞌ ukꞌuꞌx chi ri Dios sibꞌalaj kwinel chubꞌanik ri ubꞌim loq.
full certifyed that what he had promised that he was able to make good.
22 Rumal riꞌ xbꞌix che chi jun sukꞌ achi rumal ri ukojobꞌal.
And therfore was it reckened to him for rightewesnes.
23 Man xwi ta kꞌu xtzꞌibꞌaxik chi xkoj pa kwenta ri ukojobꞌal ri Abraham, rech karil ri Abraham.
It is not written for him only that it was reckened to him for rightewesnes:
24 Xane xuqujeꞌ xtzꞌibꞌaxik rech kaqil uj. Ri Dios karil na ri qakojobꞌal rech jeriꞌ kubꞌan sukꞌ chaqe, rumal ri kaqakojo chi ri Dios are xwaꞌjilisan ri Jesús ri Ajawxel chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ.
but also for vs to whom it shalbe counted for rightewesnes so we beleve on him that raysed vp Iesus oure Lorde from deeth.
25 Ri Jesús xjach pa kamikal rumal ri qamak xuqujeꞌ xkꞌastaj uwach chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ chubꞌanik sukꞌ chaqe.
Which was delivered for oure synnes and rose agayne forto iustifie vs.
