2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Xaq jeriꞌ nukꞌojol, chakꞌamawaꞌj achuqꞌabꞌ rumal ri toqꞌobꞌ ri kꞌo qukꞌ pa Cristo.
2 And the things that you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be qualified to teach others as well.
Ri atom, nubꞌim chkiwach e kꞌi winaq, chaꞌtaqchiꞌj ri kojonelabꞌ e kuꞌlibꞌal taq kuꞌx, xuqujeꞌ qas kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal chukꞌutik chkiwach nikꞌaj winaq chik.
3 Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Chatzijoj ri kꞌax ri qariqom, jeꞌ jas jun ajchꞌoꞌj chajil tinimit, rech ri Cristo.
4 A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.
Maj jun ajchꞌoꞌj chajil tinimit kaqaj choch ri kꞌamal ubꞌe, we are keꞌ ukꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ri jastaq rech ri leꞌaj ri kel wi.
5 Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules.
Je xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta jun winaq ri kok pa jun tijoj anim, kukꞌamawaꞌj ri korona we man kunimaj ri kubꞌij ri taqanik rech ri etzꞌanem.
6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to partake of the crops.
Ri ajchak ri sibꞌalaj kachakunik yaꞌtal bꞌe che kukꞌamawaꞌj rech nabꞌe, ri yakoj.
7 Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all things.
Qas chachomaj rij we kinbꞌij chawe, ri Ajawxel kꞌut katutoꞌ chuchꞌobꞌik waꞌ we riꞌ.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David, as proclaimed by my gospel,
Man kattaniꞌ ta che unaꞌtaxik ri Jesucristo, rijaꞌl ri David, ri xwaꞌjilisax chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ. Are waꞌ ri utz laj taq tzij.
9 for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!
Rumal rech in jatꞌitalik jacha jun bꞌanal kꞌax. Ri utzij ri Dios kꞌut man jatꞌital taj.
10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
Kinkochꞌ kꞌu ronojel ri qꞌoxomal kumal ke ri e chaꞌtalik. Rech xuqujeꞌ koꞌpan pa ri koltajem ri kajuluwik ri maj ukꞌisik, ri yaꞌtal chaqe pa Cristo. (aiōnios g166)
11 This is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
Qas tzij wi we tzij riꞌ: We kujkam rukꞌ ri Cristo, kujkꞌasiꞌ xuqujeꞌ na rukꞌ.
12 if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;
We kaqachuqꞌabꞌej, kujtaqan kꞌu na rukꞌ, we kaqabꞌij chi man qetaꞌm ta uwach Areꞌ xuqujeꞌ kubꞌij na chi man retaꞌm ta qawach.
13 if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
We man kujjeqiꞌ pa ri kaqabꞌij, Areꞌ kajeqiꞌ wi pa ri utzij, man kakwin taj kukꞌekꞌej ribꞌ.
14 Remind the believers of these things, charging them before God to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin.
Man kattaniꞌ ta che unaꞌtaxik we riꞌ chike ri kojonelabꞌ. Chabꞌij chike man kakiya ta bꞌe che taq ri tzijitzatem ri maj kutayij, rumal xaq xwi kuꞌtukij ri ketowik.
15 Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.
Chabꞌana ri achuqꞌabꞌ, rech katqaj cho ri Dios, jeꞌ jas jun ajchak ri maj kukꞌixibꞌej, ri kakwinik sukꞌ kuqꞌaxaj ri tzij rech qas tzij.
16 But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,
Chaqꞌila awibꞌ chubꞌixik kꞌi taq tzij ri man tyoxalaj taq tzij taj, rumal ri jewaꞌ kakibꞌano, tajin kenajtin che ri utz laj bꞌe,
17 and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
xuqujeꞌ ri itzel taq kikꞌutuꞌn tajin kajabꞌunik jer kꞌo jun yabꞌil. Chikixoꞌl we winaq riꞌ e kꞌo ri Himeneo rachiꞌl ri Fileto,
18 who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some.
aꞌre waꞌ ri kiqꞌatom kibꞌ che ri qas tzij. Tajin kakibꞌij chi xkꞌulmataj ri kꞌastajibꞌal kiwach ri kaminaqibꞌ, kakimenkꞌetij kꞌu ri kojobꞌal kech e jujun.
19 Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”
Pune jewaꞌ kakꞌulmatajik, ri utakꞌalibꞌal ri Dios sibꞌalaj ko kꞌolik, rumal cher kojtal retal rukꞌ we tzꞌibꞌatalik riꞌ: Retaꞌm ri Ajawxel konojel ri e rech. We jun chik riꞌ kubꞌij: Ri winaq ri kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel, chuqꞌila ribꞌ che ri mak.
20 A large house contains not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay. Some indeed are for honorable use, but others are for common use.
Pa jun nimalaj ja man xwi ta kꞌo qumubꞌal ri bꞌantal che qꞌana pwaq, xuqujeꞌ saqa pwaq, xane kꞌo xuqujeꞌ bꞌantal che, cheꞌ xuqujeꞌ kꞌo bꞌantal che ulew, kꞌo are kupatanij che ri jastaq ri nim uqꞌij, kꞌo xuqujeꞌ are kakoj che ri jastaq ri man nim ta uqꞌij.
21 So if anyone cleanses himself of what is unfit, he will be a vessel for honor: sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.
We kꞌu kꞌo jun kukꞌaslebꞌej jun chꞌajchꞌoj laj kꞌaslemal, kuxik jun jeꞌl laj kꞌolibꞌal, tyoxirisatalik, kꞌo kutayij che ri Ajawxel, xuqujeꞌ kakwinik kubꞌan utz laj taq chak.
22 Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Chatanimajok choch ri rayinik rech alkꞌaꞌlal, are chabꞌana achuqꞌabꞌ chatereneꞌj ri sukꞌal, ri kojobꞌal, ri loqꞌanik, xuqujeꞌ ri jaꞌmaril, kukꞌ ri kakinaꞌtaj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel rukꞌ jun chꞌajchꞌoj laj animaꞌaj.
23 But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling.
Man kanim ta awibꞌ pa taq tzijonem ri maj kutayij, awetaꞌm chi chꞌoꞌj kakꞌisbꞌen rech ronojel.
24 And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing.
Xuqujeꞌ maj jun patanil rech ri Ajawxel ri xaq chꞌoꞌj karilij, xane rajawaxik utz kanoꞌjin kukꞌ konojel, kakwinik kuya kꞌutuꞌn, man aninaq taj kayojtajik.
25 He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.
Xaq jeriꞌ rukꞌ mochꞌochꞌem, chaꞌsukꞌumaj ri e kꞌulel, kuꞌl akꞌuꞌx che ri Dios rech kubꞌan chike chi kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx, rech kaketaꞌmaj ri qas tzij.
26 Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will.
Rech kekꞌastajik xuqujeꞌ man keqaj ta pa ri kꞌaꞌmabꞌal jawjeꞌ ri kuꞌtzꞌapij wi ri Itzel, rech kakibꞌan ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx.
