< Romans 2 >

1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
Rumal riꞌ at, at xapachinaq man kuya taj kabꞌij chi man awetaꞌm taj ri kabꞌano are kaqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ nikꞌaj chik, jeriꞌ rumal are kaqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ nikꞌaj chik, kaqꞌat xuqujeꞌ tzij paꞌwiꞌ at, rumal je katnoꞌjinik jetaq ri kenoꞌjin aꞌreꞌ.
2 We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
Kamik qetaꞌm chi ri uqꞌatoj tzij ri Dios qas sukꞌ ubꞌanik pa kiwiꞌ ri kakibꞌan etzelal.
3 Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
¿Teꞌq pa akꞌuꞌx chi katwinik katanimaj cho ri uqꞌatoj tzij ri Dios, at ri kaqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ nikꞌaj chik, kabꞌan xuqu ya awe ri etzelal ri kakibꞌan aꞌreꞌ?
4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
¿La man kawilo chi kawetzelaj ri utzilal re ri uqꞌinomal ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ ri rutzil ukꞌuꞌx xuqujeꞌ ri kochꞌonik? ¿La man kachomaj chi are karaj katukꞌam apanoq rech kakꞌex akꞌuꞌx?
5 But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God,
Rumal ri ukowil ri awanimaꞌ ri man karaj taj kukꞌex ribꞌ, xaq xwi kamulij oyawal paꞌwiꞌ pa ri qꞌij are kukꞌut ribꞌ ri sukꞌalaj uqꞌatoj tzij ri Dios.
6 who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”
Jeriꞌ rumal ri Dios kutoj na chkijujunal ri taqalik kakikꞌamawaꞌj cho ri kichak.
7 to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
Ri Dios kuya na jun alik kꞌaslemal chike ri winaq ri are tajin kakibꞌan utz taq chak, kakitzukuj juluwem, kakitzukuj chi nim kiꞌlik, xuqujeꞌ kakitzukuj kꞌaslemal. (aiōnios g166)
8 but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,
Are kꞌu ri winaq ri kakibꞌan nimal, ri kakilij ubꞌanik ri etzelal, kaqꞌat na tzij pa kiwiꞌ rukꞌ kꞌaxal rumal ri Dios.
9 oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Kape na bꞌis xuqujeꞌ kꞌaxal pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq ri kakibꞌan etzelal, nabꞌe kape pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel, kꞌa te riꞌ pa kiwiꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
10 But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Are kꞌu ri winaq ri kakibꞌan utzilal, kayaꞌtaj na kiqiꞌj, kanimarisax na, xuqujeꞌ kayaꞌtaj na jaꞌmaril chike, nabꞌe na ri winaq aꞌj Israel, kꞌa te riꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
11 For there is no partiality with God.
Jeriꞌ, rumal chi ri Dios junam keril konojel ri winaq.
12 For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
Kojonel ri e makuninaq ri man ketaꞌm taj uwach ri taqanik, kasach na kiwach man chuxeꞌ taj ri taqanik; are kꞌu ri ketaꞌm ri taqanik, kꞌa te riꞌ xemakunik kaqꞌat na tzij pa kiwiꞌ jetaq ri kubꞌij ri taqanik.
13 For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
Je kꞌu riꞌ rumal che ri Dios man are ta kubꞌij sukꞌ chike ri xaq xwi kakitatabꞌej ri kubꞌij ri taqanik xane are e sukꞌ ri kakibꞌan ri kubꞌij ri taqanik.
14 (for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,
Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj ri maj ri taqanik ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kukꞌ, kakibꞌan ri kubꞌij ri taqanik, pune maj kitaqanik, areꞌ e taqanik chibꞌil kibꞌ.
15 in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)
Rukꞌ waꞌ riꞌ kakikꞌutu chi pa kanimaꞌ tzꞌibꞌatal wi ri kutoqꞌij ri taqanik, xuqujeꞌ ri kichomabꞌal kuqꞌalajisaj chi jeriꞌ, rumal kꞌo jujun mul ri kichomabꞌal kuꞌtzujuj xuqujeꞌ jujun mul chik kuꞌtoꞌo.
16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
Jeriꞌ kakꞌulmataj na pa ri qꞌij are kuqꞌat na tzij ri Dios pa Jesucristo, pa kiwiꞌ ri jastaq ri xaq chaꞌwal ubꞌanom ri winaq, jeriꞌ kubꞌij ri utz laj tzij.
17 Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
Ri at kꞌut ri kabꞌij chi at aj Israel, chi are ri taqanik kattoꞌwik xuqujeꞌ kanimarisaj awibꞌ rumal cher kꞌo ariqoj ibꞌ rukꞌ ri Dios,
18 know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
awetaꞌm ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios xuqujeꞌ kachꞌobꞌo jachike ri qas utz ubꞌanik jeriꞌ rumal cher at pixibꞌatal rukꞌ ri taqanik,
19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
kabꞌij chi awetaꞌm, chi at kꞌamal bꞌe kech ri e moyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ at kitunal ri e kꞌo pa ri qꞌequꞌmal.
20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
Kabꞌij chi at yoꞌl kꞌutuꞌn chikiwach ri maj ketaꞌm, ajtij kech akꞌalabꞌ, awetaꞌm pa ri taqanik ri etaꞌmabꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri qas tzij.
21 You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?
At ri kaya kꞌutuꞌn chike nikꞌaj chik ¿jas che man kaya ta kꞌutuꞌn chibꞌil awibꞌ? Kabꞌij chi man utz taj kabꞌan elaqꞌ ¿jas kꞌu che katelaqꞌik?
22 You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
At ri kabꞌij chi man utz taj kuꞌtzukuj kebꞌ rachajil ri ixoq o kebꞌ rixoqil ri achi, ¿kꞌa te riꞌ je kabꞌan at? At ri kaꞌwetzelaj ri e bꞌanom taq dios ri keqꞌijilaꞌxik, ¿kꞌa te riꞌ katelaqꞌ loq pa taq ri templos ri keqꞌijilaꞌx wi?
23 You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?
At ri kabꞌan nimal rumal cher awetaꞌm ri taqanik, ¿kꞌa te riꞌ kaya pa ukꞌixibꞌal ri Dios rumal man kanimaj taj ri taqanik?
24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.
Ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Iwumal iwe kabꞌix awas taq tzij che ri Dios kumal ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
25 For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
Ri circuncisión kꞌo kutayij we are kawilij unimaxik ri taqanik, are kꞌu we man kanimaj, at junam kukꞌ ri man kojtal ta ketal.
26 If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
We ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj kakibꞌan ri kubꞌij ri taqanik, ¿la man kꞌu kabꞌix riꞌ chike chi okisatal xuqujeꞌ ketal aꞌreꞌ rumal ri kakibꞌano?
27 Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
Ri man sakꞌital taj, kunimaj kꞌu ri taqanik, kuqꞌat na tzij paꞌwiꞌ at, jeriꞌ rumal kꞌo ri taqanik tzꞌibꞌatalik awukꞌ xuqujeꞌ okisatal awetal, kꞌa te riꞌ kaqꞌipij qaj ri taqanik.
28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
Man are ta ri kilitajik kabꞌanow che jun chi aj Israel, xuqujeꞌ man are ta ri kukoj retal jun pa ri utyoꞌjal.
29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
Pa ranimaꞌ kunaꞌ wi jun we aj Israel, ri etal rech ri animaꞌaj, are ri Uxlabꞌixel kabꞌanowik, man are taj ri taqanik ri tzꞌibꞌatalik bꞌanowinaq. Ri winaq aj Israel ri jeriꞌ kanoꞌjinik, kaya na uqꞌij rumal ri Dios man kumal taj ri winaq.
