2 Corinthians 8
1 Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God, that hath been given in the churches of Macedonia.
Wachalal, kamik kꞌut kaqaj kiwetaꞌmaj ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios ri xuya chike ri komontyox ri e kꞌo pa Macedonia.
2 That in much experience of tribulation, they have had abundance of joy; and their very deep poverty hath abounded unto the riches of their simplicity.
We e komontyox riꞌ pune iꞌkꞌowinaq pa sibꞌalaj nimaq taq kꞌaxkꞌolal xuqujeꞌ e mebꞌa, sibꞌalaj nim sipanik xkiyaꞌo je ta ne chi qas e qꞌinomabꞌ.
3 For according to their power (I bear them witness), and beyond their power, they were willing.
Qas xinwilo chi ri sipanik ri xkiyaꞌo qas pa kikꞌuꞌx xkꞌiy wi, man xa ta xetaqchiꞌxik, nim xkiyaꞌo cho ri qas kekwin chuyaꞌik.
4 With much entreaty begging of us the grace and communication of the ministry that is done toward the saints.
Sibꞌalaj xkita toqꞌobꞌ chaqe rech kekwinik ketobꞌanik, kakiya bꞌik ri sipanik chike ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq.
5 And not as we hoped, but they gave their own selves first to the Lord, then to us by the will of God:
Sibꞌalaj nim xkiyaꞌo cho ri qachomam apanoq uj rij, rumal cher tzi xkijach kibꞌ cho ri Ajawxel xuqujeꞌ chiqawach uj, jetaq ri karaj ri urayibꞌal kuꞌx ri Dios.
6 Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so also he would finish among you this same grace.
Rumal riꞌ xqata toqꞌobꞌ che ri Tito chi karilij ubꞌanik we chak riꞌ, rumal cher areꞌ majininaq kanoq ubꞌanik.
7 That as in all things you abound in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all carefulness; moreover also in your charity towards us, so in this grace also you may abound.
Ix iwetaꞌm chi sibꞌalaj ix utz chubꞌanik ronojel, ix utz pa ri ikojobꞌal, pa taq ri itzij, pa ri iwetaꞌmabꞌal xuqujeꞌ pa ri iloqꞌanik chike nikꞌaj chik, rumal riꞌ chiwilij uyaꞌik ri sipanik.
8 I speak not as commanding; but by the carefulness of others, approving also the good disposition of your charity.
Man xa ta tajin kinbꞌij chi tzi jewaꞌ wi kabꞌan che, xane are kawaj kiwetaꞌmaj jas keyoꞌw sipanik ri nikꞌaj alaxik rech taq ri nikꞌaj taq komontyox chik, rech jeriꞌ kiwilo chi qas tzij ri kiloqꞌanik.
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor, for your sakes; that through his poverty you might be rich.
Ix iwetaꞌm chik ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, chi pune qꞌinom, xux mebꞌa rumal iwech, rech rumal ri umebꞌail kixux qꞌinomabꞌ.
10 And herein I give my advice; for this is profitable for you, who have begun not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.
Kinya jun inoꞌj puꞌwiꞌ we jastaq riꞌ. Ix xixnabꞌej chuyaꞌik ri isipanik junabꞌir, man xwi ta xiya ri isipanik, xane xibꞌan rukꞌ ronojel iwanimaꞌ.
11 Now therefore perform ye it also in deed; that as your mind is forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which you have.
Chibꞌana bꞌa ri chak rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal, jas na kꞌu ri kixkwin chubꞌanik, chibꞌana ri xitzuj ubꞌanik.
12 For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath, not according to that which he hath not.
Rumal cher we jun kubꞌan rukꞌ ronojel ranimaꞌ ri utzujum ubꞌanik, utz kabꞌan chukꞌamik ri kutzuju, rumal cher man katoqꞌix ta che ri man kꞌo ta rukꞌ.
13 For I mean not that others should be eased, and you burthened, but by an equality.
Man are ta kawaj chi kakiriq utzilal nikꞌaj chik rech maj kikoj ix, xane are kawaj junam ri kikojo.
14 In this present time let your abundance supply their want, that their abundance also may supply your want, that there may be an equality,
Ri itobꞌanik katobꞌan chike pa ri kꞌaxal ri tajin kiꞌkow wi aꞌreꞌ, rech jampaꞌ chik ri kitobꞌanik aꞌreꞌ katobꞌan chi iwukꞌ ix, are kajawataj chi jun jastaq chiꞌwe.
15 As it is written: He that had much, had nothing over; and he that had little, had no want.
Jacha ri kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik: Man kꞌo ta xkꞌojiꞌ kanoq rukꞌ ri nim xuyako, man kꞌo ta xuqujeꞌ xajawataj che ri nitzꞌ xuyako.
16 And thanks be to God, who hath given the same carefulness for you in the heart of Titus.
Tyox che ri Dios, xuya pa ranimaꞌ ri Tito chi xkꞌaxir ukꞌuꞌx che ri kꞌaxirinaq wi na kꞌuꞌx in.
17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more careful, of his own will he went unto you.
Puꞌkꞌuꞌx xpe wi xukꞌam uqꞌabꞌ ri xqabꞌij che, xuqujeꞌ xubꞌan rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal.
18 We have sent also with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel through all the churches.
Xqataq bꞌik rukꞌ ri alaxik ri sibꞌalaj nim xil kumal konojel ri e komontyox rumal ri upatanijik pa ri utz laj tzij.
19 And not that only, but he was also ordained by the churches companion of our travels, for this grace, which is administered by us, to the glory of the Lord, and our determined will:
Ri e komontyox xuqujeꞌ xkichaꞌo we alaxik riꞌ rech kujrachiꞌlaj bꞌik are kaqakꞌam bꞌik ri sipanik, kaqabꞌan we riꞌ chukꞌutik chi kaqaqꞌijilaꞌj ri Ajawxel xuqujeꞌ kaqakꞌutu chi qas kꞌax qakꞌuꞌx chupatanixik.
20 Avoiding this, lest any man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us.
Man kaqaj taj kujyoqꞌik rukꞌ ri kaqabꞌan chukojik we jun nimalaj sipanik riꞌ,
21 For we forecast what may be good not only before God, but also before men.
rumal cher kaqaj utz kaqabꞌan chukojik, man xwi ta cho ri Ajawxel, xane chikiwach konojel ri winaq.
22 And we have sent with them our brother also, whom we have often proved diligent in many things; but now much more diligent, with much confidence in you,
Kaqataq bꞌik ri qachalal ri sibꞌalaj ukꞌutum chiqawach chi sibꞌalaj sakꞌaj, qas xqꞌalajin chiqawach kamik chi sibꞌalaj jeqel ikꞌuꞌx chirij.
23 Either for Titus, who is my companion and fellow labourer towards you, or our brethren, the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.
Are kꞌu ri Tito are wachiꞌl xuqujeꞌ toꞌl iwe, e taqtal bꞌik rumal ri komontyox, rech kakiya uqꞌij ri Cristo.
24 Wherefore shew ye to them, in the sight of the churches, the evidence of your charity, and of our boasting on your behalf.
Rumal kꞌu riꞌ chikꞌutu chikiwach we winaq riꞌ chi sibꞌalaj kiꞌloqꞌaj, xuqujeꞌ chikꞌutu chikiwach jas che nimal kaqanaꞌo rumal iwe, rech jeriꞌ kakil konojel ri e komontyox.
