1 Timothy 6
1 All who are bound under slavery should consider their masters worthy of respect, so that God's name and Christian beliefs won't be defamed.
Rajawaxik konojel ri ajchakibꞌ keꞌkinimaj ri keyoꞌw kichak, xaq jeriꞌ man kakiya ta bꞌe kabꞌix kꞌaxal che ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios xuqujeꞌ che ri qakꞌutuꞌn.
2 Slaves who have Christian masters should not disrespect them because they are brothers. Instead they should serve them even better, because those who are benefiting from their service are fellow-believers they should love. Teach these instructions, and encourage people to follow them.
Ri e kojonelabꞌ kipatron, man utz taj we man keꞌkinimaj xa rumal alaxik, xane rajawaxik sibꞌalaj utz na kakibꞌan che kipatanixik, rumal ri kekꞌamawaꞌn ri kipatanijik e kojonelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ e loqꞌalaj taq alaxik. Areꞌ wa ri rajawaxik kakꞌutu xuqujeꞌ kachilibꞌej.
3 Those that teach different beliefs, and don't listen to good counsel, particularly the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the true teachings of God,
We kꞌo ne jun kuya kꞌutuꞌn ri man utz taj, ri kujelechꞌuj che ri utz laj kꞌutuꞌn rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo xuqujeꞌ che ri kꞌutuꞌn rech ri utzilal,
4 are arrogant and don't understand anything. They're obsessed with speculation and philosophical debates which only lead to jealousy, arguments, malicious gossip and evil suspicions—
waꞌ jun winaq ri maj retaꞌmabꞌal, ri man kakwin taj kuchꞌobꞌ ri jastaq. We winaq riꞌ kekꞌarkꞌat che utzukuxik tzijonem ri maj kutayij, ri kutik loq oyawal, tzukun chꞌoꞌj, itzel taq chomanik,
5 the constant arguing of people whose minds are totally corrupt and who have lost the truth, thinking that they can profit financially from religion…
we winaq riꞌ e tzukul taq chꞌoꞌj chikixoꞌl ri winaq, man utz ta ri kechomanik, are wa ri maj qas tzij kukꞌ. Pa kikꞌuꞌx chi ri utzilal chꞌekbꞌal pwaq.
6 But knowing and following God is so incredibly satisfying!
Qas ne tzij wi chi rukꞌ ri utzilal kakꞌamawaꞌx nimaq taq chꞌekoj, we jun kakubꞌiꞌ ukꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ri kꞌo rukꞌ.
7 For we didn't bring anything into the world, and we can't take anything out with us either.
Rumal cher maj xqakꞌam loq are xujul pa ri uwachulew, xuqujeꞌ maj kujkwinik kaqakꞌam bꞌik are kujkamik.
8 But if we have food and clothes then that's enough for us.
Xaq jeriꞌ kuꞌl qakꞌuꞌx we kꞌo qatzꞌyaq xuqujeꞌ qawa.
9 Those who are determined to become rich fall into the trap of temptation, following many foolish and damaging impulses.
Ri kakaj keqꞌinomarik, ketzaq pa ri mak, xuqujeꞌ kuꞌx ajchakibꞌ rech ri rayibꞌal kikꞌuꞌx. Xaq kꞌaxiribꞌal kuꞌx ri man kꞌo ta etaꞌmabꞌal chupam, xuqujeꞌ kuꞌtzaq ri winaq pa ri tukin ibꞌ.
10 For the desire to be rich leads to many kinds of evil results. Some of those who longed for this have turned away from the truth, and have hurt themselves, experiencing a lot of pain.
Rumal ri uloqꞌaxik ri pwaq are ukꞌuꞌx ronojel etzelal. Rumal urayixik, e kꞌi xkijelechꞌuj kibꞌe che ri kojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ e kꞌi kikꞌowisam kꞌi kꞌaxal.
11 But you as a man of God should run away from such things. You should seek to do what is right, practice true religion, and trust in God. Aim to love, to be patient, and gentle.
Ri at kꞌut, achi rech ri Dios, chatanimaj cho we jastaq riꞌ, are chasakꞌajij utereneꞌxik ri sukꞌal, ri utzilal, ri kojobꞌal, ri loqꞌanik, ri mochꞌochꞌem xuqujeꞌ ri ubꞌanik ri jastaq.
12 Fight the good fight as you trust in God. Hold on tightly to the eternal life to which you were called. This is what you promised to do in front of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Chachꞌoꞌjij ri utz laj chꞌoꞌj rech ri akojobꞌal, chabꞌana awe che ri jun alik kꞌaslemal, ri xatsikꞌix wi apanoq, rumal rech xabꞌan ri qꞌalajisanik rech kojobꞌal chikiwach e kꞌi winaq. (aiōnios g166)
13 My charge to you before God the Life-giver, and before Christ Jesus who testified to the good news before Pontius Pilate,
Chaya bꞌe che karil ri Dios ri kabꞌano, areꞌ yoꞌwinaq ukꞌaslemal ronojel ri jastaq, xuqujeꞌ ri Cristo Jesús ri xuya ri mayijabꞌal laj qꞌalajisanik cho ri Poncio Pilato, kinchilibꞌej
14 is to follow faithfully what you've been told so you will be above criticism until our Lord Jesus Christ appears.
chakꞌolo we taqanik riꞌ, kꞌa pa ri qꞌij ri kape ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, man rukꞌ ta chꞌulujil xuqujeꞌ man rukꞌ ta yoqꞌoj.
15 At the right time Jesus will be revealed—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings, and Lord of lords.
Ri Dios kubꞌan na chi kakꞌulmataj we jastaq riꞌ pa ri kꞌyaqalik qꞌotaj. Che ri xa jun tewchiꞌtal, ri kꞌo kwinem puꞌqꞌabꞌ, Taqanel pa kiwiꞌ ri taqanelabꞌ, xuqujeꞌ Ajawxel pa kiwiꞌ ri ketaqan pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq.
16 He is the only one who is immortal, and lives in unapproachable light. No one has seen him or can see him—honor and eternal power is his! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Che ri xa jun ri man kakam ta wi, ri kꞌo pa ri tunal ri maj jun chik kakwinik kok chupam, ri man ilitajinaq ta wi, xuqujeꞌ maj jun kakwin chi rilik, che areꞌ yaꞌtal wi nim uqꞌij, xuqujeꞌ ri kwinem chibꞌe qꞌij saq. Jeriꞌ. (aiōnios g166)
17 Warn those who are rich in the present world not to become proud. Tell them not to place their trust in wealth that is so insecure but in God who so freely gives us everything for our enjoyment. (aiōn g165)
Chabꞌij chike ri e qꞌinomabꞌ rech uwachulew, man kakinaꞌ ta nimal, xuqujeꞌ man kakubꞌiꞌ ta kikꞌuꞌx chirij ri kiqꞌinomal, ri xaq sachel uwach. Xane kuꞌl kikꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios, areꞌ kayoꞌw ronojel ri ukꞌiyal ri jastaq chaqe, rech kaqa kiꞌkotebꞌej ukojik. (aiōn g165)
18 Tell them to do good, and to become rich in doing good things, ready to share what they have, and to be generous.
Chaꞌtaqchiꞌj chubꞌanik ri utzilal, kibꞌana utz laj taq chak, xuqujeꞌ che sipanoq, kijacha ri kꞌo kukꞌ.
19 In this way they store up treasure that will provide a solid basis for the future, so that they can take hold of true life.
Xaq jeriꞌ kakikꞌol sibꞌalaj kꞌi jastaq rech ri kꞌaslemal ri kape na, xuqujeꞌ kakikꞌamawaꞌj jun alik kꞌaslemal.
20 Timothy, take care of what's been given to you. Don't pay any attention to pointless chatter and arguments based on so-called “knowledge.”
Timoteo, jas chawilij ubꞌanik ri chilibꞌetal chawe. Man kaya ta bꞌe che ri tzijonem chirij ri jastaq ri maj kutayij, xuqujeꞌ ri chomanik rech ri etaꞌmabꞌal ri xaq ke achyabꞌ.
21 Some who promote these ideas have wandered away from their trust in God. May grace be with you.
E kꞌo jujun rumal ukꞌamawaꞌxik we jastaq riꞌ, xkijelechꞌuj kan kibꞌ che ri kojobꞌal. Are ri toqꞌobꞌ kakanaj iwukꞌ.
