< 2 Peter 1 >

1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
In waꞌ ri Simón Pedro, in patanijel xuqujeꞌ taqoꞌn rech ri Jesucristo, kintzꞌibꞌaj we wuj riꞌ chike ri kikꞌamawaꞌm jun kojobꞌal ri sibꞌalaj paqal rajil, jetaq ri qe uj, xa rumal ri usukꞌal ri qaDios xuqujeꞌ ri qaKolonel Jesucristo.
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
Chikꞌamawaꞌj nimalaj toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril pa ri retaꞌmabꞌal ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesucristo.
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Are ri chikajil ukwinem ri Dios xyoꞌwik ri etaꞌmanik chaqe are xujusikꞌij apanoq pa ri ujeꞌlal ri ujuluwem rech xuya ronojel ri jastaq ri kajawataj chaqe, rech kujkꞌasiꞌk jetaq ri karaj ri areꞌ.
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Ri Dios xuya chaqe ri paqalik xuqujeꞌ jeꞌl laj taq tzij, rech jeriꞌ kixkwinik kixel loq pa taq ri etzelal ri kꞌo pa ri uwachulew rumal ri itzel taq rayinik, rech jeriꞌ kꞌo iwech che ri kꞌaslemal rech chikajil.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
Rumal waꞌ rajawaxik kikoj ichuqꞌabꞌ rech xa jeriꞌ kanimar ri ikojobꞌal, chibꞌana utz taq chak rukꞌ ri ikojobꞌal, chibꞌana utz taq chak rukꞌ etaꞌmanik.
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
Qas chinaꞌ rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal jas ri kibꞌano, chiwilij ubꞌanik ri utzilal rukꞌ ri inaꞌoj, rukꞌ ri inaꞌoj chiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios.
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
Ri irayinik chupatanixik ri Dios, chibꞌana rukꞌ loqꞌanik. Xuqujeꞌ ri irayinik chubꞌanik ri utzilal chibꞌana rukꞌ loqꞌanik.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We utz kixnoꞌjinik, kixkꞌiy riꞌ pa ri etaꞌmanik rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo rech jeriꞌ kixux winaq ri kꞌo kitayij.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
Are kꞌu ri winaq ri man utz taj kanoꞌjinik man naj taj kopan wi ri ukaꞌyebꞌal, xsachan che chi xchꞌajchꞌobꞌex che ri najtir taq umak.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
Rumal riꞌ, wachalal, chikojo ichuqꞌabꞌ rech qas kixjeqiꞌk pa ri usikꞌinik ri Dios, ri xixchoꞌwik. We are kibꞌan we jastaq riꞌ man kixtzaq ta wi pa mak.
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Kajaqataj na ri uchiꞌ ja rech ri ajawarem rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo qaKolonel, ri maj ukꞌisik. (aiōnios g166)
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
Rumal riꞌ kinnaꞌtaj wi na chiꞌwe we jastaq riꞌ pune iwetaꞌm chik xuqujeꞌ qas ix jeqel chik pa ri qas tzij.
13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
Wetaꞌm chi yaꞌtal chwe kinqꞌalajisaj ri utzij ri Dios, rumal cher in kꞌas na.
14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
Rumal kꞌu cher wetaꞌm chi man naj ta chik in kꞌaslik jeriꞌ xukꞌut ri Ajawxel Jesucristo chinuwach.
15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
Kinkoj sibꞌalaj nuchuqꞌabꞌ rech jeriꞌ we kinkamik, kanaꞌtaj na chwe ronojel ri xinbꞌano.
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Man xaq ta bꞌanoj tzij ri xqabꞌij chiꞌwe, are xqatzijoj ri upetibꞌal ri Ajawxel Jesucristo rukꞌ ri ukwinem, man xaq ta xqawok aqꞌanoq xane are xqatzijoj ri nimalaj ukwinem ri qas xqilo.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Ri Cristo xya uqꞌij xuqujeꞌ xukꞌamawaꞌj juluwem rumal ri Tataxel Dios xchꞌaw loq pa ri jeꞌl laj ukꞌolibꞌal xubꞌij: “Are waꞌ ri loqꞌalaj nukꞌojol, ri sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkot wanimaꞌ rukꞌ.”
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
Qas uj kꞌo uj rukꞌ ri Jesús are xqata ri chꞌabꞌal ri upetik pa ri kaj, are uj kꞌo puꞌwiꞌ ri tyoxalaj juyubꞌ.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Rukꞌ waꞌ xqꞌalajisax chiqawach ri utz laj tzij ri xkitzijoj ri qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios, ri utz xibꞌan chutatabꞌexik, kajunumataj rukꞌ jun qꞌaqꞌ ri katunan pa ri qꞌequꞌm, kꞌa kuriq na ri qꞌij are kel loq ri qꞌij ri katunanik pa taq iwanimaꞌ.
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
Qas naꞌtaj chiꞌwe, chi man kꞌo ta jun qꞌalajisanik tzꞌibꞌatalik pa ri utzij ri Dios ri xaq achi xwokowik.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Jeriꞌ, rumal ri uqꞌalajisaxik ri utzij ri Dios man kichomanik taj ri achyabꞌ, xane are ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xqꞌalajisan chikiwach ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios ojer, ri tzij ri rajawaxik katzijoxik.
