1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Qas kꞌyaqal ri kubꞌij ri Uxlabꞌixel chi, pa ri kꞌisbꞌal taq qꞌotaj, e kꞌi kakitzaq kan ri kikojobꞌal rech kebꞌe chutereneꞌxik chomanik ri xaq e menkꞌetibꞌal xuqujeꞌ e kꞌutuꞌn rech ri itzel.
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Ri e kꞌutuꞌn riꞌ xaq e kech taq e kawach bꞌanal taq tzij, ri sibꞌalaj kowirinaq ri kichomabꞌal.
3 Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Kakiqꞌatej kabꞌan ri kꞌulanem, xuqujeꞌ man kakiya ta bꞌe katij taq ri jastaq ri ukꞌiyisam ri Dios rech ri kojonelabꞌ rukꞌ tyoxinik kakitijo rumal cher aꞌreꞌ ketaꞌm ri qas tzij.
4 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
Sibꞌalaj utz ronojel ri xutik ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ maj kꞌetzelan uwach we kakꞌamawaꞌx rukꞌ tyoxinik.
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Rumal cher are ri utzij ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri chꞌawem katyoxirisan ri jastaq.
6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
We kakꞌut waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ chikiwach ri alaxik, katux jun utz laj patanijel rech ri Cristo, ri kꞌo uchuqꞌabꞌ rumal ri kojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri utz laj kꞌutuꞌn ri atereneꞌm pa koꞌkijal.
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself [rather] unto godliness.
Chawetzelaj ri jastaq ri keꞌtzijoxik ri man qas ta tzij, xuqujeꞌ ri jastaq ri e rachiꞌl taq waꞌ. Are kꞌu chakꞌamawaꞌj achuqꞌabꞌ pa ri utzilal.
8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
Pune ri usalabꞌaxik ri qatyoꞌjal kꞌo kutayij, ri utzilal kꞌut sibꞌalaj kꞌo na, rumal cher rachiꞌl ri chiꞌtal loq, man xaq xwi ta rech ri kꞌaslemal rech kamik, xane rech ri kꞌaslemal ri kape na.
9 This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
We utz laj tzij riꞌ sibꞌalaj kꞌo uqꞌij, xuqujeꞌ yaꞌtalik kakꞌamawaꞌx kumal konojel ri winaq.
10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
Qas tzij, we kꞌu kujchakunik xuqujeꞌ kaqakoj qachuqꞌabꞌ waꞌ xa rumal qayoꞌm ri kuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx chirij ri kꞌaslik Dios, are kolonel kech konojel, kolonel kech ri qas kekojon che.
11 These things command and teach.
Chachilibꞌej xuqujeꞌ chakꞌutu we jastaq riꞌ.
12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Maj bꞌa jun ketzelan awach rumal at akꞌal ala. Kꞌo ta bꞌa ne wi, kakꞌam kibꞌe ri e kojonelabꞌ rech kakitereneꞌj pa ri kitzijonem, pa ri kinoꞌjibꞌal, xuqujeꞌ pa ri loqꞌanik, pa ri kojobꞌal, xuqujeꞌ chꞌajchꞌojil.
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
Chasikꞌij ri utzij ri Dios chikiwach ri winaq kawayeꞌbꞌej we, xuqujeꞌ chaya kꞌutuꞌn xuqujeꞌ chaꞌtaqchiꞌj ri alaxik.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
Chakojo ri sipanik rech ri Uxlabꞌixel, ri xakꞌamawaꞌj are xya uqꞌalajisaxik chawe, are xkiya kiqꞌabꞌ ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri komontyox paꞌwiꞌ.
15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Chabꞌana sakꞌaj chubꞌanik we jastaq riꞌ, qas are chawilij, rech kakil ri winaq chi tajin kanimar ri kabꞌano.
16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Chachajij awibꞌ che ri anoꞌjibꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌutuꞌn. Chatkꞌol chupam rech katkwinik kakol awibꞌ xuqujeꞌ kekolotaj ri katkitatabꞌej.
