< 2 Timothy 1 >

1 This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus chosen by God, sent to tell about the promise of real life that is in Christ Jesus.
Ri Pablo, taqoꞌn rech ri Cristo Jesús rumal ri rayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios, rumal ri kꞌaslemal ri chiꞌtal loq, ri yaꞌtal chaqe pa Cristo Jesús,
2 I'm sending it to you Timothy, my dear son. May you have grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
che ri loqꞌalaj nukꞌojol Timoteo: Are ri Tataxel Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Cristo Jesús ri Ajawxel cheyoꞌw toqꞌobꞌ, toqꞌobꞌisan wach, xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril chawe.
3 I'm always thinking of you and I'm so thankful to God, whom I serve as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience. I never forget to mention you in my prayers.
Are katnaꞌtaj chwe chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ pa ri nuchꞌawem, kintyoxin che ri Dios, ri kinpatanij rukꞌ chꞌajchꞌoj laj chomabꞌal jacha ri xkibꞌan ri watiꞌt numam ojer.
4 I remember how you cried, and I so want to see you! That would make me really happy.
Xuqujeꞌ are kanaꞌtaj ri uwaꞌl awach chwe, are xinel loq, kawaj katinwil chi junmul, rech kinnoj che kiꞌkotemal.
5 I keep in mind your sincere trust in God, the same trust that your grandmother Lois and mother Eunice also had—and I know that same trust continues in you.
Xuqujeꞌ kanaꞌtaj chwe ri akojobꞌal ri qas ko kꞌolik, ri xutaqchiꞌj nabꞌe ri awatiꞌt Loida xuqujeꞌ ri anan Eunice, chanim kꞌut tajin katutaqchiꞌj at. Qas wetaꞌm chi jewaꞌ tajin kakꞌulmatajik.
6 That's why I want to remind you to revitalize God's gracious gift to you which you received when I placed my hands on you.
Rumal waꞌ kawaj chi kakꞌasbꞌaꞌ ri usipanik ri Dios, ri xakꞌamawaꞌj are xinya ri nuqꞌabꞌ pa awiꞌ.
7 God didn't give us a spirit that makes us fearful, but a spirit of power and love and good sense.
Rumal cher ri Dios man xuya taj jun uxlabꞌal rech xibꞌin ibꞌ chaqe, xane jun rech kwinem, loqꞌanik, xuqujeꞌ uj kujchoman ri kaqabꞌano.
8 So don't be ashamed to tell others about our Lord, or be ashamed of me. Instead be ready to share in suffering for the good news as God gives you strength.
Xaq jeriꞌ man kakꞌixibꞌej ta uqꞌalajisaxik ri Ajawxel, xuqujeꞌ man kakꞌixibꞌej ta nubꞌixik in, rumal xa rumal rech ri Cristo in tzꞌapital pa cheꞌ. Je xuqujeꞌ ri at, rajawaxik rukꞌ ri ukwinem ri Dios, kakochꞌ ri kꞌaxkꞌolal rumal ri utz laj tzij.
9 He is the one who has saved us and called us to live a holy life—not through what we do, but by God's own plan and through his grace. (aiōnios g166)
Rumal cher ri Dios xujukolo xuqujeꞌ xuya sikꞌinik chaqe pa ri jun tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal, man xa ta rumal ri qachak, xane rumal ri utoqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri uchaꞌnik loq. Xuya loq we toqꞌobꞌ chaqe pa Cristo Jesús, are majaꞌ kamajitaj loq ri qꞌotaj. (aiōnios g166)
10 He gave this grace to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, and is now revealed in the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. He destroyed death, making life and immortality brilliantly clear through the good news.
Kamik kꞌut xuqꞌalajisaj rukꞌ ri upetibꞌal ri qakolonel Cristo Jesús, ri xutukij ri kamikal xuqujeꞌ xukꞌam la pa ri tunal, ri kꞌaslemal ri man sachel ta uwach, rumal ri utz laj tzij.
11 I was appointed speaker, apostle, and teacher of this good news.
In xinux taqoꞌn, ajtij, xuqujeꞌ tzijol rech we tzij riꞌ.
12 That's also the reason I'm suffering all this, but I'm not ashamed, because I know whom I've trusted. I'm confident that he can look after what I've entrusted to him until the Day he returns.
Rumal waꞌ kinriq kꞌax. Man kinkꞌix ta kꞌut rumal cher wetaꞌm jachin che in kojoninaq wi, xuqujeꞌ kuꞌl na kꞌuꞌx chi kꞌo ukwinem chinuyakik pa ri kꞌisbꞌal qꞌij, ri wayeꞌm.
13 You should follow the model of good advice that you learned from me, with an attitude of trust and love in Christ Jesus.
Chatereneꞌj ri kꞌutuꞌn ri xawetaꞌmaj wukꞌ, rukꞌ kojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ loqꞌanik pa Cristo Jesús.
14 Guard the truth that was entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
Chachajij ri jeꞌl laj kꞌutuꞌn rukꞌ ri ukwinem ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel, ri kꞌo pa qanimaꞌ.
15 You already know that everyone from Asia has abandoned me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Awetaꞌm chi konojel ri keꞌl pa taq ri tinimit rech Asia xinkitzaq kanoq, e kachiꞌl ri Figelo xuqujeꞌ ri Hermógenes.
16 May the Lord be kind to the family of Onesiphorus, because he often took care of me and wasn't embarrassed about me being in prison.
Are bꞌa ri Dios toqꞌobꞌisan kiwach ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa rachoch ri Onesíforo, rumal kꞌi mul, xinkitaqchiꞌj, man xekꞌix ta chwe, pune in kꞌo pa cheꞌ.
17 When he was in Rome, he took the trouble to search for me, and he found me.
Xuqujeꞌ are xopan pa ri tinimit Roma, xinutzukuj kꞌa xinuriq na.
18 May the Lord grant him his blessing in the Day of Judgment. (Timothy, you're very much aware of how much Onesiphorus did for me when he was in Ephesus.)
Are bꞌa ri Ajawxel chutoqꞌobisaj kiwach pa ri qꞌij rech chilaꞌ chikaj. Awetaꞌm ronojel ri patanijik ri xubꞌan wukꞌ pa ri tinimit Éfeso.
