Romanos 6
1 ¿Jas kꞌu kaqabꞌij? ¿La are kꞌu kaqilij ubꞌanik ri mak rech katixix ri toqꞌobꞌ kapetik?
To what conclusion, then, shall we come? Are we to persist in sinning in order that the grace extended to us may be the greater?
2 ¡Man je ta riꞌ! Ri uj, ri uj kaminaq chik chubꞌanik ri mak, ¿la kujkwin kꞌu ri xaq jeꞌ kujkꞌojiꞌk chupam?
No, indeed; how shall we who have died to sin, live in it any longer?
3 ¿La man kꞌu iwetaꞌm chi qonojel ri xbꞌan qaqasanaꞌ rech kujkꞌojiꞌk rukꞌ ri Cristo Jesús, xbꞌan qaqasanaꞌ pa ri ukamikal?
And do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
4 Rumal ri qasanaꞌ xubꞌan chaqe chi xujmuqiꞌ rukꞌ ri Cristo pa ri ukamikal, rech jeriꞌ jetaq ri xubꞌan ri Cristo xkꞌastaj rukꞌ ri ukwinem ri Tataxel, xuqujeꞌ uj kaqataqej na jun kꞌakꞌ kꞌaslemal.
Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life.
5 Qas tzij, we xa jun qabꞌanik rukꞌ ri Cristo are xujkamik, xa jun xuqujeꞌ riꞌ qabꞌanik rukꞌ are kakꞌastaj qawach.
For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.
6 Qetaꞌm chi ri ojer qakꞌaslemal xrip rukꞌ ri Cristo, rech jeriꞌ ri qatyoꞌjal rech mak xtukitajik, man uj patanil ta chi kꞌu rech ri mak.
This we know--that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin;
7 Rumal cher ri winaq ri kaminaq chik maj chi ukwinem ri mak puꞌwiꞌ.
for he who has paid the penalty of death stands absolved from his sin.
8 We kꞌu kujkam rukꞌ ri Cristo, kaqakojo chi kujkꞌasiꞌk xuqujeꞌ na rukꞌ Areꞌ.
But, seeing that we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him;
9 Qetaꞌm chi ri Cristo xkꞌastaj chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ, jeriꞌ man kakam ta chik junmul. Rumal cher ri kamikal maj chi ukwinem puꞌwiꞌ Areꞌ.
because we know that Christ, having come back to life, is no longer liable to die.
10 Xa junmul, rukꞌ ri ukamikal xuchup ronojel ri mak, xuqujeꞌ xkꞌasiꞌk chibꞌe qꞌij saq rech kuya uqꞌij ri Dios.
Death has no longer any power over Him. For by the death which He died He became, once for all, dead in relation to sin; but by the life which He now lives He is alive in relation to God.
11 Ix xuqujeꞌ, chiwilaꞌ chi ix kaminaqibꞌ chik jeriꞌ man kuya ta chik kixmakunik, xane ix kꞌaslik rech kiya uqꞌij ri Dios pa Cristo Jesús.
In the same way you also must regard yourselves as dead in relation to sin, but as alive in relation to God, because you are in Christ Jesus.
12 Xaq jeriꞌ man kiya ta bꞌe che ri makaj kabꞌan rech puꞌwiꞌ ri ityoꞌjal rech man kinimaj ta chik ri itzel taq urayinik.
Let not Sin therefore reign as king in your mortal bodies, causing you to be in subjection to their cravings;
13 Man kitzuj ta ri ityoꞌjal che ri makaj rech kubꞌan ri man sukꞌ taj, xane chitzuju iwibꞌ che ri Dios, je ta ne ri kꞌa te xixel loq pa ri kamikal xixpe pa ri kꞌaslemal, chijacha ri ityoꞌjal rech kux rech sukꞌal.
and no longer lend your faculties as unrighteous weapons for Sin to use. On the contrary surrender your very selves to God as living men who have risen from the dead, and surrender your several faculties to God, to be used as weapons to maintain the right.
14 Jeriꞌ, man kakwin taj ri makaj kubꞌan rech piꞌwiꞌ, rumal cher man ix kꞌo ta chik chuxeꞌ ri taqanik xane ix kꞌo chik pa ri toqꞌobꞌ.
For Sin shall not be lord over you, since you are subjects not of Law, but of grace.
15 ¿Jas kꞌu kaqabꞌij? ¿La kujmakun kꞌut rumal ri man uj kꞌo ta chik chuxeꞌ ri taqanik, xane uj kꞌo chik pa ri toqꞌobꞌ? Man je ta riꞌ.
Are we therefore to sin because we are no longer under the authority of Law, but under grace? No, indeed!
16 ¿La man iwetaꞌm chi we kijach iwibꞌ che jachinaq rech kinimaj, ix patanil rech ri winaq ri kinimaj, we kꞌu are ri makaj rech kamikal o are ne ri nimanik rech sukꞌal?
Do you not know that if you surrender yourselves as bondservants to obey any one, you become the bondservants of him whom you obey, whether the bondservants of Sin (with death as the result) or of Duty (resulting in righteousness)?
17 Xa tyox che ri Dios rumal pune ojer ix patanil kan rech ri makaj, chanim inimam chik ri kꞌutuꞌn ri xyaꞌtaj chiꞌwe.
But thanks be to God that though you were once in thraldom to Sin, you have now yielded a hearty obedience to that system of truth in which you have been instructed.
18 Xixesataj loq pa uqꞌabꞌ ri makaj, kamik ix patanil chi rech ri sukꞌal.
You were set free from the tyranny of Sin, and became the bondservants of Righteousness--
19 In kintzijon iwukꞌ pa kitzij winaq rumal wetaꞌm chi xaq xwi waꞌ kixkwinik kichomaj. Nabꞌe kanoq kitzuj ri ityoꞌjal chupatanixik ri chꞌulujil, ri kixukꞌam bꞌik pa ri etzelal, kamik kꞌut chitzuju ri ityoꞌjal chupatanixik ri sukꞌal ri kakꞌaman bꞌik pa ri Tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal.
your human infirmity leads me to employ these familiar figures--and just as you once surrendered your faculties into bondage to Impurity and ever-increasing disregard of Law, so you must now surrender them into bondage to Righteousness ever advancing towards perfect holiness.
20 Ojer are ix patanil kan rech ri makaj, maj rech ri sukꞌal chiꞌwe.
For when you were the bondservants of sin, you were under no sort of subjection to Righteousness.
21 ¿Jas kꞌu ri xikꞌamawaꞌj kan nabꞌe che ri xibꞌano? Are xikꞌamawaꞌj ri jastaq ri kixkꞌix chik che kamik, we jastaq riꞌ kakꞌaman bꞌik pa kamikal.
At that time, then, what benefit did you get from conduct which you now regard with shame? Why, such things finally result in death.
22 Kamik kꞌut man ix kꞌo ta chik pa uqꞌabꞌ ri makaj, ix patanil chi rech ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ kikꞌamawaꞌj iwe ri tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal ri kixukꞌam bꞌik pa jun alik kꞌaslemal. (aiōnios g166)
But now that you have been set free from the tyranny of Sin, and have become the bondservants of God, you have your reward in being made holy, and you have the Life of the Ages as the final result. (aiōnios g166)
