Romanos 9
1 Qas tzij ri tajin kinbꞌij pa Cristo, ri nuchomabꞌal kuya ubꞌixik chwe pa ri Uxlabꞌixel.
Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,
2 Kꞌo jun nimalaj bꞌis pa wanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ kꞌo jun qꞌoxom pa ri wanimaꞌ ri man tanalinaq taj.
that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart —
3 Qas kurayij ri wanimaꞌ we ta in ketzelax nuwach xuqujeꞌ kinqꞌatiꞌ che ri Cristo, rech rukꞌ riꞌ are kekꞌamawaꞌx apanoq ri e wachalal rech ri nutinimit.
for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ — for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,
4 We winaq aꞌj Israel, are waꞌ ri qas e sikꞌital apanoq rech kuꞌx alkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ, rech kekꞌojiꞌ pa ri kꞌakꞌ chomanik, pa ri qꞌijilaꞌnem, are waꞌ ri bꞌiꞌtal loq ojer.
who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,
5 E kijaꞌl konojel ri oꞌjer taq winaq aꞌj Israel ri xaꞌlax cho ri uwachulew, chike aꞌreꞌ xpe wi ri Cristo, are Dios pa kiwiꞌ ronojel ri jastaq. Qꞌijilaꞌtal ri ubꞌiꞌ chibꞌe qꞌij saq. Jeriꞌ. (aiōn g165)
whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Man kaqabꞌij ta kꞌut chi ri utzij ri Dios man xubꞌan taj ri uchak. Rumal ri rumal man konojel taj ri winaq ri e kꞌo kukꞌ ri aꞌj Israel e kijaꞌl aꞌj Israel.
And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these Israel;
7 Man rukꞌ ta xuqu cher e rijaꞌl ri Abraham, e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Abraham, xane: Konojel ri awijaꞌl kajeqiꞌ na rumal ri Isaac.
nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but — 'in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
8 Kel kubꞌij chi man konojel ta ri e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Abraham e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios, xwi e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios ri xkikꞌamawaꞌj ri xubꞌij loq ri Dios.
that is, the children of the flesh — these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;
9 Jewaꞌ kubꞌij ri xubꞌij loq ri Dios: Kinpe na pa jun junabꞌ, che riꞌ ri Sara kakꞌojiꞌ na jun ral ala.
for the word of promise [is] this; 'According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'
10 Man xaq xwi ta waꞌ xubꞌij xane xubꞌij xuqujeꞌ chi ri e ral ri Rebeca e ralkꞌwaꞌl xa jun achi, are ri qamam Isaac.
And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one — Isaac our father —
11 Are majaꞌ kaꞌlax ri e yoꞌx, are qas kꞌamajaꞌ na kakichomaj ubꞌanik ri utzilal o ri etzelal, rech jeriꞌ kajeqiꞌ ri uchomanik loq ri Dios,
(for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling, ) it was said to her —
12 man rumal taj ri kichak, xane rumal ri usikꞌinik ri Dios, xbꞌix che ri Rebeca: Ri nabꞌyal kupatanij na ri uchaqꞌ.
'The greater shall serve the less;'
13 Xuqujeꞌ tzꞌibꞌatalik: Xinloqꞌaj ri Jacob, xinwetzelaj ri Esaú.
according as it hath been written, 'Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.'
14 ¿Jas kꞌu ri kaqabꞌij? ¿La xa kꞌu man sukꞌ taj ri Dios? Man je ta riꞌ.
What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness [is] with God? let it not be!
15 Ri Dios xubꞌij che ri Moisés: Kintoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri kawaj in kintoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach, xuqujeꞌ kel na kꞌuꞌx che ri kawaj in kel na kꞌuꞌx che.
for to Moses He saith, 'I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;'
16 Xaq jeriꞌ ri chaꞌnik ri kabꞌanik man are ta kabꞌanow ri uchuqꞌabꞌ ri winaq, xane are ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios.
so, then — not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:
17 Jeriꞌ rumal ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij che ri Faraón: “Xatinyak apanoq rech katinkoj chukꞌutik ri nukwinem, rech jeriꞌ katzijox na pa ri nubꞌiꞌ pa ronojel ri uwachulew.”
for the Writing saith to Pharaoh — 'For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'
18 Xaq jeriꞌ ri Dios kutoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri karaj kutoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach, xuqujeꞌ kukowirisaj ranimaꞌ xapachin karaj je kubꞌan che.
so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.
19 Wine kabꞌij chwe: ¿Jas kꞌu che kubꞌan aꞌjmakibꞌ chaqe? ¿Jachin kakwinik kukꞌopij ribꞌ cho ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios?
Thou wilt say, then, to me, 'Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'
20 Ri in kinbꞌij chawe: ¿At jachin at che ri kata che ri Dios jas che jeriꞌ kubꞌano? ¿La kubꞌij kꞌu ri tꞌuꞌy che ri bꞌanal rech? “¿Jas che jewaꞌ xabꞌan che nubꞌanik?”
nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form [it], Why me didst thou make thus?
21 ¿La mat kꞌu kakwin ri bꞌanal bꞌoꞌj kubꞌan jun janipa xaruꞌ, nikꞌaj kukoj che chꞌuluj taq jastaq nikꞌaj chik kukoj che utz taq jastaq?
hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?
22 ¿Jas kꞌu kaqabꞌij waꞌ che we riꞌ, ri Dios pune xraj xukꞌut ri royawal xuqujeꞌ xraj xukꞌut ri ukwinem, xuqꞌiqꞌitej man xuqꞌat taj tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri yaꞌtal chike kakꞌis tzij pa kiwiꞌ?
And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,
23 Rech jeriꞌ kukꞌut ri uqꞌinomal ri ujuluwem chikiwach ri uꞌchaꞌom apanoq rech kaya uqꞌij kumal.
and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call — us —
24 Uj waꞌ ri xujusikꞌij apanoq, man xwi ta xuꞌchaꞌ ri aꞌj Israel xane xuꞌchaꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,
25 Jeriꞌ kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatalik pa ri wuj rech Oseas: Kinbꞌij na nutinimit chike ri man e nutinimit taj, xuqujeꞌ ri man loqꞌatal ta nabꞌe, kinloqꞌaj na.
as also in Hosea He saith, 'I will call what [is] not My people — My people; and her not beloved — Beloved,
26 Xuqujeꞌ pa ri kꞌolibꞌal ri xbꞌix wi chike: Ri ix man ix nutinimit taj, chilaꞌ kabꞌix wi na chike chi e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri kꞌaslik Dios.
and it shall be — in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God.'
27 Ri Isaías, xubꞌij: Pune e kꞌi ri ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Israel jetaq ri sanyobꞌ ri kꞌo chuchiꞌ ri plo, xaq e kebꞌ oxibꞌ kekolotajik.
And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, 'If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved;
28 Jeriꞌ rumal ri Dios aninaq kubꞌan na ri kꞌisbꞌal uqꞌatoj tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri uwachulew.
for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.
29 Jeriꞌ ubꞌim loq ri Isaías: We ta mat xuya kan qijaꞌl ri Nimalaj Ajawxel, kujjunumataj riꞌ rukꞌ ri e tinimit Sodoma rachiꞌl Gomorra man xkikoj taj ri xbꞌix chike rumal ri Dios.
and according as Isaiah saith before, 'Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.'
30 ¿Jas kꞌu ri kaqabꞌij waꞌ che we riꞌ? Ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, ri man tajin ta kakitzukuj ri sukꞌal. Xkiriq ri sukꞌal, ri sukꞌal ri kakꞌamawaꞌxik pa ri kojobꞌal.
What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,
31 Ri winaq aꞌj Israel are xkitereneꞌj ri sukꞌal pa ri taqanik, man xkiriq taj.
and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;
32 ¿Jas che? Rumal ri xkitereneꞌj ri taqanik man rukꞌ taj kojobꞌal, xane rukꞌ ri kichak, xkitopij kibꞌ che ri abꞌaj ri topibꞌal aqanaj.
wherefore? because — not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,
33 Jetaq ri kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik: Kinya na waral pa Sión, jun abꞌaj topibꞌal aqanaj, rech jeriꞌ katzaq jun. Are kꞌu ri kakojon che ri Cristo, man kel taj ukꞌixibꞌal.
according as it hath been written, 'Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'
