< 2 Corinthians 12 >

1 If I must glory (it is not expedient indeed), but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Qas tzij wi, man taqal ta chwe kinnaꞌ nimal, chanim kꞌut kintzijoj chiꞌwe ri xukꞌut ri Ajawxel chinuwach.
2 I know a man in Christ above fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not, or out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up to the third heaven.
Wetaꞌm uwach jun achi ri kꞌo pa Cristo chi kajlajuj junabꞌ xkꞌam bꞌik kꞌa churox kaj, we kꞌu pa ri utyoꞌjal o man pa ri utyoꞌjal ta neꞌ, man wetaꞌm taj, xaq xwi ri Dios etaꞌmaninaq.
3 And I know such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not: God knoweth),
Xuqujeꞌ wetaꞌm chi we achi riꞌ (man wetaꞌm taj we pa ri utyoꞌjal o man pa ri utyoꞌjal ta neꞌ, xwi ri Dios etaꞌmaninaq)
4 That he was caught up into paradise, and heard secret words, which it is not granted to man to utter.
xkꞌam bꞌik kꞌa pa ri jeꞌlalaj kꞌolibꞌal rech chikajil, xutatabꞌej tzij ri man kitzij ta winaq xuqujeꞌ man yaꞌtal ta chike ri winaq kaketaꞌmaj.
5 For such an one I will glory; but for myself I will glory nothing, but in my infirmities.
Kinkwinik kinya uqꞌij ri achi riꞌ, ri in kꞌut man kinya ta nuqꞌij, xaq xwi kinya nuqꞌij are xaq kinbꞌaqꞌoꞌtik.
6 For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I will say the truth. But I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or any thing he heareth from me.
Pune jeriꞌ, we ta kawaj kinnaꞌ nimal, utz riꞌ we jeriꞌ kinbꞌano, rumal qas tzij ri kinbꞌij. Kinya kꞌu kan chilaꞌ rech man kꞌo ta jun kuchomaj jun jastaq chik chwij cho ri qas karilo xuqujeꞌ kuto katzijox chwij.
7 And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me, there was given me a sting of my flesh, an angel of Satan, to buffet me.
Rech kꞌu man nimal taj kinnaꞌo rumal ri jastaq ri xukꞌut ri Dios chinuwach jer xkoj jun kꞌix che ri nutyoꞌjal, jun utaqoꞌn ri itzel xutaq loq chinuchꞌayik chinupalaj, rech jeriꞌ man kinnimarisaj ta wibꞌ.
8 For which thing thrice I besought the Lord, that it might depart from me.
Oxmul xinta che ri Ajawxel chi karesaj chwe we riꞌ.
9 And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee; for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
Ri Ajawxel kꞌut xubꞌij chwe: Ri nutoqꞌobꞌ xaqareꞌ chawe, rumal cher ri nukwinem qas tzꞌaqat are xaq katbꞌaqꞌoꞌtik. Rumal kꞌu riꞌ qas rukꞌ ronojel wanimaꞌ kinnaꞌ nimal rukꞌ ri nubꞌaqꞌoꞌtem rech jeriꞌ kakꞌojiꞌ ri ukwinem ri Cristo pa nuwiꞌ.
10 For which cause I please myself in my infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ. For when I am weak, then am I powerful.
Rumal riꞌ kinkiꞌkotik pa ri nubꞌaqꞌoꞌtem, xuqujeꞌ are kabꞌix kꞌax taq tzij chwe, are man kaya ta bꞌe kinbꞌan ri rajawaxik, are kintzukuxik rech kabꞌan kꞌax chwe, xuqujeꞌ are kinbꞌisonik, rumal cher are xaq kinbꞌaqꞌoꞌtik, kꞌa te riꞌ kꞌo nuchuqꞌabꞌ.
11 I am become foolish: you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you: for I have no way come short of them that are above measure apostles, although I be nothing.
Are xinnaꞌ nimal, jer xinnoꞌjinik jun winaq ri man kꞌo ta retaꞌmabꞌal, ri ix kꞌut xinitaqchiꞌj rech jewaꞌ kinbꞌano. Rumal cher taqalik chi ix kiya nuqꞌij, rumal man in taj in nitzꞌ chikiwach ri sibꞌalaj e nimaq taq taqoꞌn, pune in man kꞌo ta kinuxik.
12 Yet the signs of my apostleship have been wrought on you, in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
Ri chak ri kakꞌutuwik chi jun qas taqoꞌn, xbꞌanik chiꞌxoꞌl, jacha ta ne ri etal, mayijabꞌal taq jastaq ri xkꞌulmataj iwukꞌ ix.
13 For what is there that you have had less than the other churches, but that I myself was not burthensome to you? Pardon me this injury.
¿Jas xixkꞌexen wi ix kukꞌ ri nikꞌaj taq komontyox chik? Xaq xwi chi man xinux ta jun eqaꞌn chiꞌwe. Chikuyuꞌ we man utz kita ri kinbꞌij.
14 Behold now the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burthensome unto you. For I seek not the things that are yours, but you. For neither ought the children to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Qas tzij ronojel chik nusukꞌuman rech kixeꞌnsolij churox mul, man kinux ta kꞌu jun eqaꞌn chiꞌwe che waꞌ, rumal cher man are ta kawaj kinta chiꞌwe ri kꞌo iwukꞌ rumal cher man are ta ri aꞌlkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ kakiyak jastaq rech kakikoj ri e tat nan, xane are ri tat nan kakiyak jastaq rech kakikoj ri aꞌlkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ.
15 But I most gladly will spend and be spent myself for your souls; although loving you more, I be loved less.
Xaq jeriꞌ qas rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal kinsach ri jastaq we, xuqujeꞌ in kinjarisaj wibꞌ xa rumal iwe. Pune man qꞌalaj taj chi kiniloqꞌaj jetaq ri kinbꞌan in che iloqꞌaxik.
16 But be it so: I did not burthen you: but being crafty, I caught you by guile.
We bꞌa ne jeriꞌ man in jun eqaꞌn ta chiꞌwe, xane rumal sibꞌalaj kachoman ri nujolom rumal ri xinkoj jun kꞌaꞌmabꞌal pa ri ibꞌe.
17 Did I overreach you by any of them whom I sent to you?
¿La xa kꞌu xixinsubꞌu rumal ri jun nutaqoꞌn ri xintaq bꞌik iwukꞌ?
18 I desired Titus, and I sent with him a brother. Did Titus overreach you? Did we not walk with the same spirit? did we not in the same steps?
Xinta toqꞌobꞌ che ri Tito rech kixeꞌrila xuqujeꞌ xintaq bꞌik ri jun alaxik rukꞌ ¿la xa kꞌu xixusubꞌ ri Tito? ¿La man kꞌu xa che jun uxlabꞌal uj petinaq wi xuqujeꞌ junam bꞌe ujbꞌininaq wi rukꞌ ri Tito?
19 Of old, think you that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ; but all things, my dearly beloved, for your edification.
¿Teꞌq piꞌkꞌuꞌx chi ronojel we qꞌotaj ri uj petinaq loq, xaq tajin kaqatzukuj jas kaqabꞌij chiꞌwe? Qas cho ri Dios, pa Cristo kujtzijonik. Loqꞌalaj taq qachalal, ronojel ri kaqabꞌano, kaqabꞌano che itoꞌik.
20 For I fear lest perhaps when I come I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found by you such as you would not. Lest perhaps contentions, envyings, animosities, dissensions, detractions, whisperings, swellings, seditions, be among you.
Kinxiꞌj wibꞌ, rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ man kixeꞌnriqa taj jetaq ri kawaj, xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ man je ta kinnoꞌjinik jetaq ri kiwaj ix are kinopanik. Kinxiꞌj wibꞌ rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ kꞌo chꞌoꞌj kꞌax kinaꞌ chike nikꞌaj chik, oyawal, paꞌin taq ibꞌ, etzelal, tzijtaꞌlik, nimal xuqujeꞌ man tajin ta kabꞌan ri jastaq pa ucholajil, chiꞌxoꞌl.
21 Lest again, when I come, God humble me among you: and I mourn many of them that sinned before, and have not done penance for the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, that they have committed.
Kinxiꞌj wibꞌ, are kinchomaj rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ kubꞌan chwe ri Dios chi kinmochꞌ wibꞌ rumal iwe are kinopan iwukꞌ, wine kinoqꞌ kumal ke e kꞌi ri e makuninaq kanoq nabꞌe, xuqujeꞌ man kikꞌexom ta kikꞌuꞌx rumal ri ketzelal xuqujeꞌ ri mak kibꞌanom ri itzel taq kirayinik kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ je xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌarkꞌatik ri kijachom wi kibꞌ.
