< 1 Thessalonians 2 >

1 For yourselves know, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
Qachalal, ix iwetaꞌm chi qas kꞌo xupatanij ri solinik ri xqabꞌan iwukꞌ.
2 But having suffered many things before, and been shamefully treated (as you know) at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, to speak unto you the gospel of God in much carefulness.
Xuqujeꞌ iwetaꞌm chi pune xbꞌan kꞌax chaqe je laꞌ pa ri tinimit Filipos, xqakꞌamawaꞌj qachuqꞌabꞌ pa Dios rumal riꞌ xqatzijoj ri utz laj tzij chiꞌwe.
3 For our exhortation was not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deceit:
Xuqujeꞌ are xqatzijoj ri utz laj tzij chiꞌwe, xqabꞌij ri qas tzij, are xqaj xqabꞌan ri utzilal iwukꞌ, man are ta xqaj xqasubꞌ jachinaq.
4 But as we were approved by God that the gospel should be committed to us: even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who proveth our hearts.
Xane qas are ri Dios xchilibꞌen chaqe we utz laj tzij riꞌ, are waꞌ ri kaqaj kaqabꞌano. Man are ta kaqaj kujqaj cho jachinaq chik xane xwi kaqaj kujqaj cho ri Dios rumal are etaꞌmaninaq ri kaqanaꞌo xuqujeꞌ ri kaqachomaj.
5 For neither have we used, at any time, the speech of flattery, as you know; nor taken an occasion of covetousness, God is witness:
Ri ix qas iwetaꞌm chi man xqabꞌij ta jun jastaq chiꞌwe xaq xwi rech kixqamenkꞌetij xuqujeꞌ rech kixqasubꞌu rech kaqachꞌek pwaq chiꞌwij. Ri Dios retaꞌm we jastaq riꞌ.
6 Nor sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others.
Man are ta kaqaj chi nim kujiwilo o rech nim kujkil nikꞌaj winaq chik.
7 Whereas we might have been burdensome to you, as the apostles of Christ: but we became little ones in the midst of you, as if a nurse should cherish her children:
Man je ta xujnoꞌjin iwukꞌ jetaq ri taqal chaqe rumal cher uj, uj taqoꞌn rech ri Cristo, man xqata ta chiꞌwe ri kajawataj chaqe, xane je xujnoꞌjin iwukꞌ jetaq kanoꞌjin jun ixoq are kuꞌtubꞌisaj ri ral.
8 So desirous of you, we would gladly impart unto you not only the gospel of God, but also our own souls: because you were become most dear unto us.
Xaq jeriꞌ rumal ri loqꞌanik ri kꞌo pa qanimaꞌ chiꞌwe kujkiꞌkotik man xwi ta rumal kaqatzijoj ri utz laj tzij rech ri Dios chiꞌwe xane we ta xujkwinik xqaya ta xuqujeꞌ riꞌ ri qakꞌaslemal rumal iwe.
9 For you remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you, we preached among you the gospel of God.
Wachalal, kanaꞌtaj riꞌ chiꞌwe chi rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ kꞌax xqatzijoj chiꞌwe ri utz laj tzij rech ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ xujchakun iwukꞌ chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ rech man xujux taj jun eqaꞌn chiꞌwe.
10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and justly, and without blame, we have been to you that have believed:
Ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri ix qas xiwilo chi qas je xujnoꞌjin kojonelabꞌ iwukꞌ pa jun tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal, sukꞌ xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj chꞌajchꞌoj.
11 As you know in what manner, entreating and comforting you, (as a father doth his children, )
Qas iwetaꞌm chi qas je qabꞌanom chiꞌwilik jetaq kubꞌan jun tat chike ri e ralkꞌwaꞌl.
12 We testified to every one of you, that you would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
Xuqujeꞌ xqakoj qachuqꞌabꞌ chiꞌtaqchiꞌxik xuqujeꞌ chukubꞌisaxik ikꞌuꞌx rech kikꞌaslebꞌej jun jeꞌlik laj kꞌaslemal cho ri Dios. Areꞌ ix sikꞌininaq apanoq pa ri rajawarem xuqujeꞌ pa ri ujuluwem.
13 Therefore, we also give thanks to God without ceasing: because, that when you had received of us the word of the hearing of God, you received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God, who worketh in you that have believed.
Xaq jeriꞌ man kujtaniꞌ taj chuyaꞌik tyoxinik che ri Dios jeriꞌ rumal kaqato chi xikꞌamawaꞌj ri utzij ri Dios ri xqatzijoj xuqujeꞌ man xikꞌamawaꞌj taj jacha ri utzij ri winaq xane are utzij ri Dios, are kꞌu waꞌ we tzij riꞌ kachakun pa taq kanimaꞌ ri e kojonelabꞌ.
14 For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own coutrymen, even as they have from the Jews,
Jeriꞌ qachalal, ri ix are xitereneꞌj ri xkikꞌut ri ukomontyox ri Dios pa Cristo Jesús chiꞌwach ri e kꞌo pa Judea, rumal aꞌreꞌ xiriq kꞌax pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri iwinaq jacha ri kꞌax ri xkiriq we e komontyox riꞌ pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men;
Are ri winaq aꞌj Israel xekamisan bꞌik ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij, are kꞌu ri uj xujkesaj loq. Man kaqaj ta ri kinoꞌjibꞌal cho ri Dios, sibꞌalaj itzel kenoꞌjin kukꞌ konojel ri winaq.
16 Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end.
Jeriꞌ rumal are kakaj kujkiqꞌatej rech man kaqatzijoj ta ri utzij ri Dios chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj rech kekolotajik. Tajin kakitzꞌaqatisaj ri mak chikij rukꞌ ri tajin kakibꞌano. Kape kꞌu na ri nimalaj uqꞌatoj tzij ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ.
17 But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time, in sight, not in heart, have hastened the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
Are kꞌu ri uj qachalal, pune man xujkꞌojiꞌ iwukꞌ jun janipa qꞌotaj, ri qanimaꞌ kꞌo iwukꞌ, kaqakoj qachuqꞌabꞌ rech jun qꞌijal kixqasolij.
18 For we would have come unto you, I Paul indeed, once and again: but Satan hath hindered us.
Qas kurayij ri qanimaꞌ kixqasolij, are kꞌu ri in in Pablo, kꞌi mul xinuqꞌatej ri itzel, rumal riꞌ man inbꞌenaq taj.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glory? Are not you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
Jeriꞌ rumal ¿jas kꞌu riꞌ ri kꞌulibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx, ri qakiꞌkotemal xuqujeꞌ ri rumal kaqanaꞌ nimal pa ri upetibꞌal ri Ajawxel? ¿La man kꞌu ix riꞌ ri kixqakꞌut cho ri Ajawxel?
20 For you are our glory and joy.
Jeꞌ, ix riꞌ ri ix qakiꞌkotemal xuqujeꞌ rumal iwe kaqanaꞌ nimal.
