I ʼelbal chi sak ʼis ke konojel

10 Man ruʼ ka cʼux caka cojo chi Jesucrísto are i Tolke; are ile ca ʼanaw chake oj ʼutz chuwach i Dios. Xak ruʼ ka chiʼ caka bij chi cul ka cʼux che i Jesucrísto; queje ile caka rik i ʼelbal ke chi sak.
11 Chupam u wuj i Dios, queje iri cu bij: “Niʼpa i quiqui cuba qui cʼux che ire, cril na ʼuri chi sakil wach i xroyʼej che.” (Queje ile cu bijt.) 12 I winak, n-ta coʼono we je aj Israel, o we ne aj Israel taj, xa jun i Kajwal ʼo pakawi. Ire, nim i cu ya chique conojel niʼpa i quiqui tzʼonoj qui tobal che. 13 Ketaʼam ile, man chupam u wuj i Dios cakil i tzij-i: “Niʼpa i quiqui tzʼonoj qui tobal che i Kajwal, que totajict.” Queje ile cu bij. 14 Xui-ri, ¿wach u tzʼonoxic qui tobal che, we n-qui cubam ti qui cʼux che? Xak ¿wach i u cubaxic qui cʼux che, we n-qui tom ti u tzij? Xak ¿wach u tayic u tzij quiqui ʼano we n-ta jun ca bin chique?

17 Mi jun cu cuba u cʼux che i Crísto we nu tom taj wach usucʼ. Xak mi jun cu ta usucʼ we n-ta jun ca bin che.

18 Woʼor quin tzʼonoj ʼut: ¿Xataba n-qui tom ti ʼutz laj tzij? ¡Qui tom pues! Ketaʼam chi qui tom, man chupam u wuj i Dios queje iri cu bij:

Yin quin ʼan na chi ca pe ni iwoywal yix cumal i juban tinimit chi n-ta kas qui nojbal, qui bij yix.
(Queje ile xu bij i Diost.)

20 Teʼuri i mam Isaías, co u cʼux, xu bij i tzij-i chi xbix che rumal i Dios:
Ique chi n-xin qui tzucuj taj, xin qui riko;
ique chi n-xqui chʼob ti in tzucuxic, xin cʼut wib chique.
(Queje ile xu bij i Dios chiquij i ne te aj Israel winak.)
21 Péro, chiquij i aj Israel winak, Dios cu bij i tzij-i: “Yin n-in mayim ti qui siqʼuixic jun tinimit je kelkel, jun tinimit chi n-cacaj ta que cojon chwe.” (Queje ile xu bij i Dios, chi u tzʼibam i mam Isaíast.)

Romans 10

1 My brothers and sisters, how I wish with all my heart that my own people might be saved! How I pray to God for them! 2 I can assure you that they are deeply devoted to God; but their devotion is not based on true knowledge. 3 They have not known the way in which God puts people right with himself, and instead, they have tried to set up their own way; and so they did not submit themselves to God's way of putting people right.

4 For Christ has brought the Law to an end, so that everyone who believes is put right with God.

Salvation is for All

13 As the scripture says, “Everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.”t
14 But how can they call to him for help if they have not believed? And how can they believe if they have not heard the message? And how can they hear if the message is not proclaimed? 15 And how can the message be proclaimed if the messengers are not sent out? As the scripture says, “How wonderful is the coming of messengers who bring good news!”t 16 But not all have accepted the Good News. Isaiah himself said, “Lord, who believed our message?”t

17 So then, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message comes through preaching Christ.

18 But I ask: is it true that they did not hear the message? Of course they did — for as the scripture says:t
“The sound of their voice went out to all the world;
their words reached the ends of the earth.”

19 Again I ask: did the people of Israel not understand? Moses himself is the first one to answer:t
“I will use a so-called nation
to make my people jealous;
and by means of a nation of fools
I will make my people angry.”

20 And Isaiah is even bolder when he says,t
“I was found by those who were not looking for me;
I appeared to those who were not asking for me.”
21 But concerning Israel he says, “All day long I held out my hands to welcome a disobedient and rebellious people.”t
