< 1 Timothy 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to a commandment of God our Savior, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
Ri Pablo, taqoꞌn rech ri Cristo Jesús rumal ri utaqanik ri Dios qaKolonel xuqujeꞌ ri Cristo ri kuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx.
2 to Timothy, a genuine child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Che ri Timoteo ri qas nukꞌojol pa ri kojobꞌal: Are bꞌa ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Cristo Jesús ri Ajawxel, kayoꞌw toqꞌobꞌ, toqꞌobꞌisan wach, xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril chawe.
3 As I urged thee, while going to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus, so that thou might command certain men not to teach something different,
Are xineꞌ pa Macedonia, xinwoqxaꞌnij kan ubꞌixik chawe chi katkanaj kan pa ri tinimit Éfeso xuqujeꞌ kabꞌij chike ri kakijaluj chi aꞌjtijabꞌ chi ketaniꞌk chukꞌutik ri kꞌutuꞌn ri man utz taj.
4 nor to heed myths and endless genealogies, which cause controversies rather than stewardship of God in faith.
Xuqujeꞌ ketaniꞌ chusikꞌixik ri kꞌulmatajinaq najtir ojer, xuqujeꞌ ri kibꞌiꞌ ri e kitat kinan ojer ri man kakꞌis ta wi. We jastaq riꞌ xaq kuyak chꞌoꞌj, man are ta kuqꞌalajisaj ri uchak ri Dios, ri xa rumal ri kojobꞌal.
5 But the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and non-hypocritical faith.
Jewaꞌ rajawaxik kibꞌano rech ri loqꞌanik katixtobꞌ loq che jun chꞌajchꞌoj animaꞌaj, che jun utz laj chomanik, xuqujeꞌ che jun qas tzij laj kojobꞌal.
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside to empty talk,
E kꞌi xkijelechꞌuj kan kibꞌe che we noꞌjibꞌal riꞌ, xkiraꞌlij kibꞌ pa taq tzijonem ri maj kutayij.
7 desiring to be law teachers, understanding neither what they say, nor about what they confidently assert.
Kakijaluj chi aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik, xa kꞌu man ketaꞌm taj xa ta ne kakichꞌobꞌ rij ri kakiqꞌalajisaj.
8 But we know that the law is good, if any man uses it lawfully,
Kamik kꞌut qetaꞌm chi utz ri taqanik, we je kabꞌan che ukojik.
9 knowing this, that law is not laid down for righteous men, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the irreverent and sinful, for the impious and profane, for father killers and mother killers, for man killers,
Naꞌtaj chaqe chi ri taqanik man xyaꞌtaj kumal ke ri e sukꞌ taq winaq, xane kumal ke ri man keꞌniman taj, xuqujeꞌ kumal ri kꞌax laj taq winaq ri man kakita ta tzij, kumal ke ri itzel taq winaq xuqujeꞌ aꞌjmakibꞌ, kumal ke ri man kemekꞌekꞌ taj xuqujeꞌ ri man kakibꞌan ta ri Tyoxalaj taq jastaq. Ri taqanik xyaꞌik rumal ke ri winaq ri man keꞌkinimaj ta ri e kitat kinan, xuqujeꞌ kumal ke ri kamisanelabꞌ,
10 for fornicators, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine
ri taqanik xyaꞌik kumal ke ri winaq ri kakibꞌan mak kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ, ri achyabꞌ ri kewar kukꞌ achyabꞌ, chike ri e kꞌayil taq patanijelabꞌ, chike ri kakibꞌij chi qas tzij ri kakibꞌij, xaq kꞌu bꞌanoj tzij kakibꞌano. Xaq jeriꞌ, ri taqanik xya rumal ronojel ri kꞌutuꞌn ri man utz taj, ri kuqꞌatej ri utz laj kꞌutuꞌn.
11 according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, of which I was entrusted.
Are waꞌ ri kukꞌut ri utz laj tzij ri xroqxaꞌnik ri Tyoxalaj Dios, kintzijoj.
12 And I have gratitude to the Christ-Jesus our Lord-who empowered me, because he considered me faithful, having placed in service
Kintyoxin che ri Cristo Jesús ri Ajawxel, are kayoꞌw nuchuqꞌabꞌ, rumal xkubꞌi ukꞌuꞌx chwij xinukoj che patanil rech.
13 the man who was formerly blasphemous, and a persecutor, and an aggressor. But I obtained mercy because I did it being ignorant in unbelief.
Nabꞌe kanoq in in bꞌanal kꞌax chike ri kojonelabꞌ, in bꞌil taq kꞌax taq tzij che ri Jesús, xuqujeꞌ man kinniman ta che, ri Dios kꞌut xutoqꞌobꞌisaj nuwach, rumal man xinkoj ta ri kubꞌij, xuqujeꞌ maj kan wetaꞌmabꞌal.
14 And the grace of our Lord was filled to overflowing with the faith and love in Christ Jesus.
Are kꞌu ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Ajawxel xtixtobꞌ la pa nuwiꞌ, xuqujeꞌ ri kojobꞌal rachiꞌl ri loqꞌanik ri kꞌo pa Cristo Jesús.
15 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinful men, of whom I am foremost.
We tzij riꞌ sibꞌalaj kꞌo uqꞌij, xuqujeꞌ yaꞌtalik kakoj kumal konojel ri winaq: Are ri Cristo Jesús xpe choch ri uwachulew che kikolik ri aꞌjmakibꞌ, in in nabꞌe ajmak chike.
16 But because of this I obtained mercy, so that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. (aiōnios )
Qas rumal kꞌu wa, ri Dios xutoqꞌobꞌisaj nuwach, rech kukꞌut ri rutzilal ri Cristo wukꞌ in, sibꞌalaj in kꞌax laj ajmak chikiwach konojel ri winaq. Rech kinux jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chike ri kakikꞌamawaꞌj na jun alik kꞌaslemal rumal ri kekojon na che ri Cristo. (aiōnios )
17 Now to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, alone wise, to God is honor and glory into the ages of the ages. Truly. (aiōn )
Rumal kꞌu riꞌ, che ri Taqanel ri man kasach ta uwach, ri man kakam taj, xuqujeꞌ man kilitaj ta uwach, ri xa jun Dios, yoꞌq nimal uqꞌij, xuqujeꞌ juluwem chibꞌe qꞌij saq. Jeriꞌ. (aiōn )
18 This command I set before thee, child Timothy, according to the prophecies leading the way for thee, so that by them thou might war the good warfare.
Nukꞌojol Timoteo, kurayibꞌej na kꞌuꞌx chi kakubꞌiꞌ akꞌuꞌx chirij we riꞌ, rech kachꞌoꞌjij ri utz laj chꞌoꞌj.
19 Holding faith and a good conscience, which some, having put away, made shipwreck about the faith,
Chatjeqel pa ri akojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri utz laj achomanik. Rumal e kꞌi xeꞌl kanoq pa ri kikojobꞌal rumal man xkitatabꞌej ta ri kichomanik.
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, so that they may be disciplined not to blaspheme.
Chikixoꞌl we winaq riꞌ e kꞌo ri Himeneo xuqujeꞌ ri Alejandro, are waꞌ xeꞌnjach pa uqꞌabꞌ ri Itzel rech kaketaꞌmaj chi man utz taj retzelaxik ri Dios.
