Romans 4

1 What then will we say to have discovered Abraham the (ancestor *N+KO) of us according to [the] flesh?

¿Jas kꞌu kaqabꞌij che ri xkꞌulmataj rukꞌ ri Abraham ri qatiꞌt qamam?

2 If for Abraham by works was justified, he has ground of boasting but not toward God.

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.

3 What for the Scripture says? Believed then Abraham in God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

¿Jas kꞌu kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatalik? Ri Abraham xukoj ri xubꞌij ri Dios che, rumal riꞌ xbꞌix che chi sukꞌ achi.

4 To the [one] now working the reward not is reckoned according to grace but according to debt;

Kamik kꞌut we kꞌo jun kachakunik, ri tojbꞌal rech man xa ta kasipaxik, xane xa katoj bꞌik ri kꞌasaj che.

5 To the [one] however not working, believing however on the [One] justifying the ungodly, is reckoned the faith of him for righteousness.

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.

6 just as also David declares the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

Ri David xuqujeꞌ xubꞌij chi utz rech ri achi ri kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che rumal ri Dios, man rumal taj ri uchak.

7 Blessed [are] they of whom are forgiven the lawless deeds and of whom are covered the sins;

Jewaꞌ xubꞌij: Utz ke ri kekuyutaj che ri etzelal ri kibꞌanom xuqujeꞌ kachꞌuqtaj ri kimak.

8 blessed [is] [the] man (of whom *N+kO) certainly not may reckon [the] Lord sin.

Utz rech ri achi ri man are ta kil ri umak rumal ri Dios.

9 [Is] the blessing then this on the circumcision or also on the uncircumcision? We are saying for (that: *k) was credited to Abraham the faith as righteousness.

¿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.

10 How then was it credited? In circumcision being or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision but in uncircumcision;

¿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.

11 And [the] sign he received of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith that [he had] [while] in the uncircumcision; for the to be him father of all those believing in uncircumcision, for to be credited also to them the righteousness,

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.

12 and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only but also to those walking in the steps during (the *k) uncircumcision (of the *k) faith of the father of us Abraham.

Xuqujeꞌ kitat konojel ri winaq ri man xwi ta xkoj ketal xane kitereneꞌm ri unoꞌjibꞌal ri qatat Abraham, areꞌ xkojonik are majaꞌ kakoj retal.

13 Not for through [the] Law [was] the promise to Abraham or to the descendants of him that heir he being (of the *k) world but through [the] righteousness of faith.

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.

14 If for those of [the] Law [are] heirs, has been made void faith and has been nullified the promise;

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.

15 For law wrath brings; where (now *N+kO) no there is law, neither [is] transgression.

Ri taqanik xaq xwi rukꞌaꞌm loq qꞌatoj tzij, jawjeꞌ maj wi taqanik maj xuqujeꞌ makaj.

16 Therefore it [is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for to be sure the promise to all the seed, not to that of the law only but also to that of [the] faith of Abraham, who is [the] father of all of us —

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.

17 even as it has been written that A father of many nations I have made you, before whom he believed God, who is giving life to the dead and calling the [things] not [into] being as existing;

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.

18 who against hope in hope believed for to become him [the] father of many nations according to that spoken; So will be the offspring of you;

Ri Abraham xukojo xuqujeꞌ xrayeꞌj rech jeriꞌ xux na kitat sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq. Jetaq ri xbꞌix che: Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi na ri awijaꞌl.

19 And not having become weak in the faith (not *K) he considered his own body already expired, a hundred years old about being, and the lifelessness of the womb of Sarah,

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.

20 About however the promise of God not he did waver through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God

Man xkabꞌalaj ta ukꞌuꞌx chukojik ri ubꞌim loq ri Dios che, xane sibꞌalaj xjeqiꞌ pa ri ukojobꞌal, xuqujeꞌ xuya uqꞌij ri Dios.

21 and having been fully assured that what He has promised able He is also to do;

Sibꞌalaj xjeqiꞌ ukꞌuꞌx chi ri Dios sibꞌalaj kwinel chubꞌanik ri ubꞌim loq.

22 Therefore also it was credited to him unto righteousness.

Rumal riꞌ xbꞌix che chi jun sukꞌ achi rumal ri ukojobꞌal.

23 Not it was written now on account of him alone that it was credited to him,

Man xwi ta kꞌu xtzꞌibꞌaxik chi xkoj pa kwenta ri ukojobꞌal ri Abraham, rech karil ri Abraham.

24 but also on account of us to whom it is about to be credited, to those believing on the [One] having raised Jesus the Lord of us out from [the] dead,

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.

25 who was delivered over for the trespasses of us and was raised for the justification of us.

Ri Jesús xjach pa kamikal rumal ri qamak xuqujeꞌ xkꞌastaj uwach chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ chubꞌanik sukꞌ chaqe.
