< Philippians 1 >

1 Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ; to all the saints in Christ Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Timoteo e patanil rech ri Cristo, kakitaq rutzil kiwach konojel ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq ri e kꞌo pa Cristo je laꞌ pa ri tinimit Filipos, kukꞌ ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe xuqujeꞌ ri e patanijelabꞌ.
2 Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril chiꞌwe rech ri Dios Tataxel xuqujeꞌ rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo.
3 I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you,
Kintyoxin che ri Dios are kixnaꞌtaj chwe.
4 Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;
Kinbꞌan chꞌawem pa iwiꞌ rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal.
5 For your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until now.
Jeriꞌ rumal ixkꞌolinaq loq pa ri utz laj utzij ri Dios xchapleꞌtaj loq are xixkojonik kꞌa pa taq we qꞌij kamik riꞌ.
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.
Qas uchapom na kꞌuꞌx chi ri majininaq loq ri utz laj chak pa iwanimaꞌ, kutzꞌaqatisaj na kꞌa pa ri qꞌij rech ri upetibꞌal ri Jesucristo.
7 As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that in my bands, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.
Sibꞌalaj utz we jeriꞌ kinchoman in chiꞌwe, jeriꞌ rumal ix kꞌo pa wanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ kixnaꞌtaj chwe are in kꞌo pa cheꞌ xuqujeꞌ are in kꞌo chikiwach ri qꞌatal taq tzij chuqꞌalajisaxik ri utz laj tzij, iwonojel kꞌo iwe che ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios ri uyaꞌom chwe.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
Rumal cher karil ri Dios chi sibꞌalaj ixnuloqꞌ rukꞌ ri uloqꞌanik ri Cristo Jesús xuqujeꞌ kixinbꞌisoj.
9 And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:
Kinta kꞌu pa ri nuchꞌawem chi ri iloqꞌanik, kanimar na pa etaꞌmabꞌal xuqujeꞌ pa noꞌjibꞌal.
10 That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,
Rech jeriꞌ are kichaꞌ ri sibꞌalaj utz ubꞌanik, xuqujeꞌ kixux chꞌajchꞌoj, man kꞌo ta imak pa ri upetibꞌal ri Cristo.
11 Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Xuqujeꞌ rech ixnojinaq chubꞌanik ri utzilal rech jeriꞌ kiya unimal uqꞌij xuqujeꞌ bꞌixonem che ri Dios.
12 Now, brethren, I desire you should know, that the things which have happened to me, have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel:
Qachalal, kawaj kiwetaꞌmaj chi ronojel ri xkꞌulmataj wukꞌ xubꞌano chi xnimar utzijoxik ri utz laj tzij.
13 So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;
Qas xqꞌalajinik chikiwach ri e chajil taq rech ri nimalaj ja rech ri qꞌatal tzij xuqujeꞌ chikiwach konojel chi xinkoj pa cheꞌ xa rumal rech ri Cristo.
14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.
Tyox chi xintzꞌapiꞌk pa cheꞌ, sibꞌalaj e kꞌi chike ri alaxik ri jeqel kikꞌuꞌx che ri Ajawxel, xkichapleꞌj utzijoxik ri utzij ri Dios man rukꞌ ta xibꞌin ibꞌ.
15 Some indeed, even out of envy and contention; but some also for good will preach Christ.
E kꞌo jujun kakitzijoj ri Cristo rumal cher kꞌax kakinaꞌ chaqe, e kꞌo chi nikꞌaj xa rumal sibꞌalaj utz kanimaꞌ.
16 Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
Ri kꞌisbꞌal wok kakitzijoj ri Cristo rumal cher kinkiloqꞌaj, rumal cher ketaꞌm chi in in chaꞌtal apanoq chuqꞌalajisaxik ri utz laj taq tzij.
17 And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.
Ri kakitzijoj ri Cristo rumal cher kꞌax kakinaꞌ chwe, man qas ta rukꞌ rutzil kanimaꞌ kakibꞌano, are kakaj katzꞌaqatisax ri kꞌax chwij pa cheꞌ.
18 But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion, or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
¿Jas kꞌu kaqabꞌij? Jas ta bꞌa lo rumal tajin katzijox ri Cristo we kꞌu qas rukꞌ chꞌajchꞌoj animaꞌaj o man rukꞌ ta neꞌ, are waꞌ kayoꞌw nukiꞌkotemal in. Jeꞌ, kinkiꞌkot na rumal rech.
19 For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Rumal cher wetaꞌm chi ri ichꞌawem xuqujeꞌ ri utobꞌanik ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Cristo, are kinesan na bꞌi waral.
20 According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded, but with all confidence, as always, so now also shall Christ be magnified in my body, wither it be by life, or by death.
Ri kurayij na kꞌuꞌx are chi man kel ta nukꞌixibꞌal, xane rukꞌ ronojel kuꞌlibꞌal kꞌuꞌx we kinkamik o kinkꞌasiꞌk, kayaꞌtaj na uqꞌij ri Cristo pa ri nutyoꞌjal.
21 For to me, to live is Christ; and to die is gain.
Rumal cher chwe in ri kꞌaslem are Cristo, ri kamikal chꞌekoj riꞌ.
22 And if to live in the flesh, this is to me the fruit of labour, and what I shall choose I know not.
We xaq jeꞌ kinkꞌasiꞌ na cho we uwachulew, xa kꞌa kꞌo na kintayij riꞌ che ri Dios, man kinriq ta kꞌut jachin chike kinchaꞌo.
23 But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.
Ukobꞌchal we jastaq riꞌ utz chwe, kawaj kineꞌek rukꞌ ri Cristo rumal sibꞌalaj jeꞌlik ri kꞌolem rukꞌ.
24 But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.
Xa kꞌu rumal iwe kinkanaj na kanoq cho ri uwachulew.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:
Qas uchapom na kꞌuꞌx, wetaꞌm chi kinkꞌojiꞌ na iwukꞌ rech jeriꞌ kintobꞌan rukꞌ ri ikiꞌkotemal xuqujeꞌ pa ri ikojobꞌal.
26 That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.
Rech jeriꞌ ri ikiꞌkotemal pa Cristo kanimar na rumal we, are kiwil chinuwach junmul.
27 Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel.
Xaq xwi kinchilibꞌej chiꞌwe je chixnoꞌjinoq jetaq ri kubꞌij ri utz laj tzij rech ri Cristo, rech pune in kꞌo iwukꞌ o man in kꞌo ta neꞌ, katataj na chi ko ix kꞌolik pa ri uxlabꞌal tajin kikoj ichuqꞌabꞌ pa ri kojobꞌal chutzijoxik ri utz laj tzij.
28 And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God:
Makixiꞌj ta iwibꞌ chike ri kakibꞌan kikꞌulel chiꞌwe, rumal cher ri utz laj tzij kubꞌan na chi kasach kiwach we winaq riꞌ, are kꞌu chiꞌwe ix ri utz laj tzij are jun kꞌutbꞌal re ri kolotajem ri kape rukꞌ ri Dios.
29 For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
Rumal cher ri ix man xwi ta yaꞌtal bꞌe chiꞌwe kixkojon che ri Cristo, xane kiriq xuqujeꞌ kꞌax rumal rech.
30 Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.
Rumal tajin kikoj ichuqꞌabꞌ chubꞌanik ri chꞌoꞌj ri xiwilo xinbꞌan ojer xuqujeꞌ tajin kinbꞌan kamik riꞌ.
