¹Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?

¹Lâex aj Galacia, mâc'a' êna'leb. ¿Ani xbalak'in êre nak inc'a' chic yôquex xpâbanquil lix yâlal? Nak xkach'olob chêru chanru nak quiq'uehe' li Jesucristo chiru cruz, chanchan nak tz'akal yôquex chirilbal.

²I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

²Ca'aj cui' a'in nacuaj xpatz'bal êre. ¿Ma riq'uin ta bi' xbânunquil li naxye sa' li chak'rab nak xec'ul li Santil Musik'ej? Mâ jok'e. Lâex xec'ul li Santil Musik'ej nak xepâb li Cristo.

³Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?

³¿Ma k'axal cui'chic mâc'a' êna'leb? Cui riq'uin li Santil Musik'ej xetiquib chak xpâbanquil li Jesucristo, ¿ma nequec'oxla anakcuan nak tâtz'aklok ru lê pâbâl yal riq'uin li c'a'ak re ru nequebânu êjunes?

⁴Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?

⁴¿Ma têcanab chi mâc'a' rajbal chixjunil li quec'ul chi jo'canan? Lâin ninye nak inc'a' têbânu chi jo'can.

⁵He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

⁵Li Dios naxq'ue li Santil Musik'ej ut naxbânu li milagros êriq'uin. Nacuaj tinpatz' êre a'in: ¿ma naxbânu a'an xban nak nequepâb li chak'rab malaj ut xban nak xepâb li Cristo li quiyehe' resil êre?

⁶Even as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”

⁶C'oxlankex ca'ch'inak chirix laj Abraham. Jo' naxye sa' li Santil Hu, laj Abraham quixpâb li Dios ut xban nak quipâban, li Dios quixye nak tîc chic lix ch'ôl.

⁷Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham.

⁷Nacuaj nak tênau nak li tz'akal ralal xc'ajol laj Abraham, a'aneb li neque'pâban re li Dios.

⁸The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.” Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22:18

⁸Najter k'e cutan nak toj mâji' nac'ulun resil li evangelio sa' ruchich'och', ac cuan sa' xch'ôl li Dios nak tâtîcobresîk xch'ôleb li mâcua'eb aj judío nak te'pâbânk. Jo'can nak tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu li quixye li Dios re laj Abraham: Sa' âc'aba' lâat osobtesinbilakeb chixjunileb li tenamit. (Gén. 12:3)

⁹So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

⁹Jo'can nak li ani neque'pâban, osobtesinbileb jo' nak qui-osobtesîc laj Abraham xban nak quixpâb li Dios.

¹⁰For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.” Deuteronomy 27:26

¹⁰Chixjunileb li neque'xsic' xtîquilal xch'ôl riq'uin xbânunquil li naxye sa' li najter chak'rab, tenebanbil li tojba mâc sa' xbêneb xban nak jo'ca'in tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu: Tenebanbil li tojba mâc sa' xbêneb li ani inc'a' neque'xbânu chixjunil li tz'îbanbil retalil sa' li chak'rab. (Deut. 27:26)

¹¹Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.” Habakkuk 2:4

¹¹Ac ch'olch'o nak mâ ani tâtîcobresîk xch'ôl chiru li Dios yal riq'uin xbânunquil li naxye sa' li najter chak'rab xban nak tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu nak ani naxpâb li Dios, tâtîcobresîk xch'ôl chiru li Dios ut tâcuânk xyu'am chi junelic. (Hab. 2:4)

¹²The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.” Leviticus 18:5

¹²Li chak'rab inc'a' naxye nak topâbânk. Ca'aj cui' naxye nak tento xbânunquil li naxye re nak tâcuânk li kayu'am. Jo'ca'in tz'îbanbil sa' li chak'rab: Li ani naxbânu chixjunil li naxye li chak'rab, li jun a'an tâcuânk xyu'am. (Lev. 18:5)

¹³Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,” Deuteronomy 21:23

¹³Abanan li Jesucristo coxcol chiru li tojba mâc li tenebanbil sa' kabên xban li chak'rab. A'an quicoloc ke nak quixq'ue rib chi câmc re xtojbal rix li kamâc. Jo'ca'in tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu: Tz'ektânanbileb chixjunileb li neque'camsîc chi t'uyt'u chiru li che'. (Deut. 21:23)

¹⁴that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

¹⁴Li Jesucristo quixtoj rix li kamâc nak quicam chiru li cruz re nak sa' xc'aba' a'an li mâcua'eb aj judío te'xc'ul li rosobtesinquil riq'uin li Dios jo' li quixc'ul laj Abraham ut re ajcui' nak riq'uin xpâbanquil li Jesucristo takac'ul li Santil Musik'ej li quiyechi'îc ke xban li Dios.

¹⁵Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.

¹⁵Ex inhermân, nacuaj xch'olobanquil lix yâlal a'in chêru riq'uin li c'a'ru nac'ulman sa' li kayu'am arin sa' ruchich'och'. Junak cuînk nak tixbânu xcontrato, chi acak xakxo xcuanquil, mâ ani chic naru nasachoc re, chi moco tixtik ru.

¹⁶Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn’t say, “To seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “To your seed,” Genesis 12:7; 13:15; 24:7 which is Christ.

¹⁶Jo' tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu, li c'a'ru quiyechi'îc re laj Abraham xban li Dios, quiyechi'îc ajcui' reheb li ralal xc'ajol. Moco yô ta chi âtinac chirixeb chixjunileb li ralal xc'ajol. Yô ban chi âtinac chirix jun ajcui'. Ut li jun a'an, a'an li Cristo.

¹⁷Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

¹⁷A'in ut tinye: Li Dios quixbânu jun li contrato najter riq'uin laj Abraham ut quixxakab xcuanquil sa' xc'aba' li Cristo. Li chak'rab li quiq'uehe' re laj Moisés câhib ciento riq'uin lajêb xca'c'âl chihab mokon inc'a' naxsach xcuanquil li contrato li ac xakabanbil xcuanquil, chi moco tixcanab ta chi mâc'a' rajbal li yechi'inbil re laj Abraham xban li Dios.

¹⁸For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

¹⁸Cui ta naru xc'ulbal li colba-ib riq'uin xbânunquil li naxye li chak'rab, mâc'a' raj rajbal li quiyechi'îc re laj Abraham xban li Dios. Abanan li c'a'ru quixyechi'i li Dios re laj Abraham, a'an yal chi mâtan quixq'ue.

¹⁹What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

¹⁹¿C'a'ru aj e nak quiq'uehe' li chak'rab? A'an quiq'uehe' re nak tixc'ut chiruheb li tenamit nak a'aneb aj k'etol chak'rab. Ut li chak'rab a'an quicuan xcuanquil toj quic'ulun li Jesucristo li quiyo'la sa' xyânkeb li ralal xc'ajol laj Abraham, li yechi'inbil xban li Dios. Eb li ángel que'c'anjelac chiru li Dios nak que'xye li chak'rab re laj Moisés; ut laj Moisés, a'an li quiyehoc re chiruheb li tenamit.

²⁰Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.

²⁰Abanan mâ ani quijaloc âtin nak li Dios quixyechi'i li mâtan re laj Abraham. A' li Dios, a'an li quibânun re.

²¹Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.

²¹¿Ma a'in ta bi' naraj naxye nak li chak'rab naxsach xcuanquil li c'a'ru quixyechi'i li Dios? ¡Mâ jok'e! Cui ta naru tâcuânk li kayu'am chi junelic riq'uin xbânunquil li naxye li chak'rab, tâtîcok' aj raj cui' li kach'ôl chiru li Dios xban li chak'rab.

²²But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

²²Li Santil Hu naxye nak chixjunil li ruchich'och' cuan rubel xcuanquil li mâc re nak chixjunileb li te'pâbânk re li Kâcua' Jesucristo te'xc'ul ajcui' li colba-ib li quiyechi'îc xban li Dios.

²³But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

²³Nak toj mâji' nac'ulun li Jesucristo sa' ruchich'och', toj cuanco rubel xcuanquil li chak'rab. Chanchan cuanco chi prêxil. Yôco chiroybeninquil nak li Dios tixtakla chak li Jesucristo li yechi'inbil xban, re nak riq'uin xpâbanquil a'an tocolek'.

²⁴So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

²⁴Jo'can nak li chak'rab, a'an nac'utuc xyâlal chiku ut a'an nac'amoc ke riq'uin li Cristo re nak tîcobresinbilak kach'ôl riq'uin xpâbanquil li Cristo.

²⁵But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

²⁵Anakcuan ut ac xcuulac xk'ehil xpâbanquil li Jesucristo. Jo'can nak mâc'a' chic xcuanquil li najter chak'rab sa' kabên.

²⁶For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁶Anakcuan lâex chic ralal xc'ajol li Dios chêjunilex xban nak xepâb li Jesucristo.

²⁷For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

²⁷Lâex xec'ul li cubi ha' ut rehex chic li Cristo. Jalbil chic lê yu'am ut châbil chic lê na'leb sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo.

²⁸There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

²⁸Anakcuan ut moco jalan ta chic laj griego chiruheb laj judío, chi moco jalan ta li môs chiru li patrón, chi moco jalan ta li cuînk, chi moco jalan ta li ixk. Junaj ban chic ku sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo.Cui lâex rehex chic li Cristo, lâex ajcui' ralal xc'ajol laj Abraham ut lâex têrêchani ajcui' li c'a'ru quiyechi'îc re laj Abraham xban li Dios.

²⁹If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to promise.

²⁹Cui lâex rehex chic li Cristo, lâex ajcui' ralal xc'ajol laj Abraham ut lâex têrêchani ajcui' li c'a'ru quiyechi'îc re laj Abraham xban li Dios.
