1 Corinthians 16
1 Now about “collecting money for fellow-believers.” I'm giving you the same instructions for you to follow as I did to the churches in Galatia.
We kimulij pwaq pa ri komontyox, je chibꞌana chumulixik jetaq ri xinbꞌij pa ri komontyox pa ri tinimit Galacia.
2 On the first day of the week everybody should set aside some money you've earned. I don't want there to be any collections to have to be made when I'm with you.
Pa ri nabꞌe qꞌij rech ri wuq qꞌij, chiqꞌata jun tobꞌanik che ri xichꞌeko, chiyakaꞌ rech man kꞌa te ta kimulij pwaq are kinopan iwukꞌ.
3 When I get there I will write recommendation letters for whoever you choose, and they will take your donation to Jerusalem.
Are kinopanik, kinya bꞌik wuj chike ri winaq ri ichaꞌom apanoq rech kakikꞌam bꞌik we sipanik imulim kꞌa te riꞌ keꞌntaq bꞌik pa Jerusalén.
4 If it works out for me to go too, they can come with me.
We kumaj chiꞌwe, wine kineꞌ xuqujeꞌ in kukꞌ.
5 After I've been to Macedonia, I plan to come and visit you. I pass that way through Macedonia
Nabꞌe kinikꞌow bꞌik pa ri tinimit Macedonia, kꞌa te riꞌ kixenꞌwi la kanoq.
6 and I may stay with you for a while, perhaps spend the winter, and then you can send me on my way to wherever I'm headed.
Wine kinkanaj kanoq iwukꞌ jun janipa qꞌij kinwikꞌowisaj bꞌik ri qꞌalaj, rech jeriꞌ kinitoꞌ bꞌik kintaqej ri nubꞌe jawjeꞌ ri rajawaxik kineꞌ wi.
7 This time I don't want to come and see you for just a short time. I hope I can stay for a while with you, if that's what the Lord permits.
Che ri qꞌij riꞌ man kawaj taj xaq kinikꞌow bꞌik iwukꞌ, xane kawaj kinkanaj jun janipa qꞌij, we kuya bꞌe ri Dios chwe.
8 However, I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost,
Kinkanaj na kanoq pa ri tinimit Éfeso, kꞌa kuꞌriqa na ri nimaqꞌij rech Pentecostés.
9 because a tremendous door of opportunity has opened up for me there, though there are plenty who oppose me.
Rumal cher kinwilo chi sibꞌalaj utz kintzijoj kanoq ri utzij ri Dios chilaꞌ, pune sibꞌalaj e kꞌi man kakaj taj.
10 Now if Timothy arrives, make sure that he has nothing to fear by being with you, for he's working for the Lord just as I am.
We kopan iwukꞌ ri Timoteo, utz chibꞌana chi rilik, rumal cher areꞌ je kachakunik jetaq kinchakun in pa ri Ajawxel.
11 Don't let anyone look down on him. Cheerfully send him on his way so he can come and see me—the brothers and sisters and I are waiting for him.
Maj bꞌa jun ketzelan uwach. Chitoꞌ rech kutaqej ri ubꞌinem pa jaꞌmaril rech jeriꞌ kakwinik kinuꞌriqa, jeriꞌ rumal cher wayeꞌm apanoq waral kukꞌ ri alaxik.
12 As for our brother Apollos: I urged him to go and see you together with the other believers, but he wasn't willing to go at the moment. He'll come and visit when he gets the chance.
Xinta kanoq jun toqꞌobꞌ che ri alaxik Apolos rech kuꞌkꞌam bꞌik nikꞌaj alaxik chik keꞌ chiꞌsolixik. Man kakwin ta kꞌut keꞌek, kꞌa te kixuꞌsolij we chkwinik.
13 Stay alert. Stand firm in your trust in God. Take courage. Be strong.
Chixkꞌasloq, ko chixkꞌoloq pa ri ikojobꞌal. Chikojo ichuqꞌabꞌ qas chibꞌana achyabꞌ chibꞌil iwibꞌ.
14 Whatever you do, do it in love.
Ronojel ri kibꞌano, chibꞌana rukꞌ loqꞌanik.
15 You know that Stephanas and his family were among the first converts in Achaia, and they dedicated themselves to helping God's people. I'm pleading with you, my brothers and sisters,
Iwetaꞌm chi ri Estéfanas xuqujeꞌ ri e kꞌo rukꞌ pa ri rachoch are e nabꞌe taq kojonelabꞌ pa ri tinimit Acaya xuqujeꞌ are tajin kakilij kipatanixik ri e kojonelabꞌ.
16 to respect their leadership, and everyone who helps the work with such dedication.
Kawaj kꞌut wachalal chi kiꞌnimaj xuqujeꞌ kiꞌtoꞌo pa ronojel ri kajawataj chike pa we kꞌax laj chak ri kakibꞌano.
17 I'm delighted that Stephanas, Fortunatas, and Achaicus have arrived here, for they did what you weren't able to.
Kinkiꞌkotik rumal xul wukꞌ ri Estéfanas, ri Fortunato xuqujeꞌ ri Acaico, rumal cher aꞌreꞌ xeyoꞌwik ronojel ri man xixkwin ta ix chuyaꞌik chwe.
18 They have been a great source of encouragement to me, and to you. People like that deserve your recognition.
Areꞌ xeyoꞌw uchuqꞌabꞌ ri wanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ xkiya uchuqꞌabꞌ ri iwanimaꞌ ix. Taqal chike we winaq riꞌ nim kiꞌwilo.
19 The churches of Asia send their greetings. Aquila and Priscilla, along with the church that meets in their home, send their best wishes.
Ri komontyox rech Asia kakitaq rutzil iwach. Ri Aquila rachiꞌl ri Priscila kakitaq rutzil iwach pa ri ubꞌiꞌ Ajawxel, xuqujeꞌ kakitaq rutzil iwach ri komontyox ri kakimulij kibꞌ cho kachoch aꞌreꞌ.
20 All the brothers and sisters here send their greetings. Greet one another affectionately.
Konojel ri alaxik kakitaq rutzil iwach. Chiya rutzil iwach rukꞌ jun Tyoxalaj tzꞌumanik.
21 I Paul write this greeting with my own hand.
In, in Pablo, kintaq bꞌik we rutzil iwach riꞌ rukꞌ ri nutzꞌibꞌ.
22 Anyone who doesn't love the Lord should be excluded from the church. Come Lord!
We kꞌo jun man kuloqꞌaj ta ri Ajawxel, chetzelataj uwach. Peta la Ajawxel.
23 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Are ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesús kakanaj iwukꞌ.
24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Kixinloqꞌaj iwonojel pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Cristo Jesús. Jeriꞌ.
