< 1 Timothy 1 >

1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,
Ri Pablo, taqoꞌn rech ri Cristo Jesús rumal ri utaqanik ri Dios qaKolonel xuqujeꞌ ri Cristo ri kuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx.
2 to Timotheus, [my] true 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 Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, [when I was] going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines,
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 turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] 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 what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned 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 which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,
E kꞌi xkijelechꞌuj kan kibꞌe che we noꞌjibꞌal riꞌ, xkiraꞌlij kibꞌ pa taq tzijonem ri maj kutayij.
7 desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.
Kakijaluj chi aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik, xa kꞌu man ketaꞌm taj xa ta ne kakichꞌobꞌ rij ri kakiqꞌalajisaj.
8 Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it lawfully,
Kamik kꞌut qetaꞌm chi utz ri taqanik, we je kabꞌan che ukojik.
9 knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to [the] lawless and insubordinate, to [the] impious and sinful, to [the] unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers,
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 fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
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 glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
Are waꞌ ri kukꞌut ri utz laj tzij ri xroqxaꞌnik ri Tyoxalaj Dios, kintzijoj.
12 [And] I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him
Kintyoxin che ri Cristo Jesús ri Ajawxel, are kayoꞌw nuchuqꞌabꞌ, rumal xkubꞌi ukꞌuꞌx chwij xinukoj che patanil rech.
13 who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, 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 But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] 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 word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am [the] first.
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 for this reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, [the] first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation of those about to believe on him to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
17 Now to the King of the ages, [the] incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
18 This charge, [my] child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare,
Nukꞌojol Timoteo, kurayibꞌej na kꞌuꞌx chi kakubꞌiꞌ akꞌuꞌx chirij we riꞌ, rech kachꞌoꞌjij ri utz laj chꞌoꞌj.
19 maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to 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 is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline 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.
