< 2 Timothy 3 >

1 But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come.
Kamik kꞌut, kꞌol pa ajolom chi kape na kꞌax taq qꞌotaj pa taq ri kꞌisbꞌal taq qꞌij.
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
Ri winaq kenoj na xaq che uloqꞌaxik kibꞌ aꞌreꞌ xuqujeꞌ che kꞌarkꞌatem. Kakinaꞌ na nimal rukꞌ ri kakibꞌano, kakinimarisaj na kibꞌ, man keniman ta che ri kitat kinan, man ketyoxin taj, man kakikoj ta ri kabꞌix chike, xaq are kakichomaj na rij ri pwaq,
3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good,
maj kinaꞌoj, kꞌax kenoꞌjin na, bꞌanal taq tzij, kakibꞌan ri etzelal maj keqꞌatenik, man winaq taj kenoꞌjinik, uꞌkꞌulel ri utzilal,
4 traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
kakibꞌan bꞌanoj tzij chikij ri e kachiꞌl, xaq e tzukul taq chꞌoꞌj, kakibꞌan ri jastaq ri maj kutayij. Are sibꞌalaj kakiloqꞌoqꞌej ri mak, man kakiloqꞌaj ta kꞌu ri Dios.
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!
Kakijaluj na chi e utz taq winaq, rukꞌ kꞌu ri kichak kakiqꞌalajisaj chi xaq e bꞌanal taq tzij. Man kanim ta awibꞌ kukꞌ taq we winaq riꞌ.
6 They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions,
Jeriꞌ kenoꞌjin ri keꞌl cho taq ri ja, keꞌkimenkꞌetij ri ixoqibꞌ ri man kꞌax ta kitaqchiꞌxik pa mak, ri kꞌo itzel taq kirayinik.
7 who are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
Amaqꞌel tajin keꞌtaꞌmanik, man kekwin ta kꞌu wi kaketaꞌmaj uwach ri qas tzij.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and disqualified from the faith.
Man kakiya ta bꞌe ketaꞌmax ri qas tzij, jacha ri xkibꞌan ri Janes xuqujeꞌ ri Jambres, xkikꞌopij kibꞌ choch ri xubꞌij ri Moisés, itzel taq kichomabꞌal, man utz taj kenoꞌjin pa ri kojobꞌal.
9 But they will not advance much further. For just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone.
Man naj ta kꞌut kekꞌasiꞌ we winaq, we jewaꞌ kenoꞌjinik, rumal cher kiꞌl na kumal ri winaq chi maj ketaꞌmabꞌal, jacha ri xkꞌulmataj kukꞌ we kebꞌ achyabꞌ riꞌ.
10 You, however, have observed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my perseverance,
At kꞌut, are atereneꞌm pa ucholajil ri na kꞌutuꞌn, ri nubꞌanom che ukꞌaslebꞌexik ri nukꞌaslemal, ri kurayibꞌej na kꞌuꞌx, ri nukojobꞌal, ri kinbꞌan che rayeꞌxik ri jastaq, ri nuloqꞌanik, ri qꞌotaj nuqꞌiꞌom ubꞌanik ri jastaq.
11 my persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.
Ri kabꞌan chubꞌanik kꞌax chwe, ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri kinriqo. Awetaꞌm ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri xinriq pa ri tinimit Antioquía, pa Iconio, xuqujeꞌ pa Listra, xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌax ri xinqꞌiꞌo. Xuqujeꞌ che ronojel ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri man xraj ta ri Dios, xinriqo.
12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
Xaq jeriꞌ kabꞌan kꞌu na kꞌax chike ri kakaj kakikꞌaslebꞌej jun utz laj kꞌaslemal pa Cristo Jesús.
13 while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Are kꞌu ri itzel taq winaq ri keꞌkimenkꞌetij chi nikꞌaj, kenimataj riꞌ pa ri etzelal, keꞌkimenkꞌetij chi na nikꞌaj chik, xuqujeꞌ kemenkꞌetitaj na aꞌreꞌ.
14 But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them.
Ri at kꞌut, ko chatkꞌol pa ri awetaꞌmam, xuqujeꞌ chupam ri qas uchapom wi akꞌuꞌx, rumal cher awetaꞌm jachin kukꞌ awetaꞌmam wi.
15 From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Pa ri awalkꞌaꞌlal awetaꞌmam ri kꞌo pa ri Tyoxalaj tzꞌibꞌatalik, are waꞌ kayoꞌw awetaꞌmabꞌal ri kajawataj che ri akolotajem rumal ri kojobꞌal pa Cristo Jesús.
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
Ronojel ri tzꞌibꞌatalik pa we wuj riꞌ utzij ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ utz kakꞌutik, rech kuꞌl ri winaq pa ri uchomabꞌal, rech qas utz kanoꞌjinik, rech kasukꞌumax ri winaq, xuqujeꞌ kapixibꞌax jun pa ri sukꞌal.
17 so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.
Rech ri rajchak ri Dios, qas kakꞌojiꞌ retaꞌmabꞌal che ubꞌanik utz taq chak.
