< 2 Peter 1 >
1 Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who obtained an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior 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 to you in the acknowledgment of God and of Jesus our Lord!
Chikꞌamawaꞌj nimalaj toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril pa ri retaꞌmabꞌal ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesucristo.
3 As His divine power has given to us all things pertaining to life and piety, through the acknowledgment of Him who called us through 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 through which the most great and precious promises have been given to us, that through these you may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption [and] lust in the world.
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 [for] this same [reason] also, having brought in all diligence, supplement your faith with virtue, and with 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 with knowledge—self-control, and with self-control—endurance, and with endurance—piety,
Qas chinaꞌ rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal jas ri kibꞌano, chiwilij ubꞌanik ri utzilal rukꞌ ri inaꞌoj, rukꞌ ri inaꞌoj chiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios.
7 and with piety—brotherly kindness, and with brotherly kindness—love;
Ri irayinik chupatanixik ri Dios, chibꞌana rukꞌ loqꞌanik. Xuqujeꞌ ri irayinik chubꞌanik ri utzilal chibꞌana rukꞌ loqꞌanik.
8 for these things being in you and abounding, make [you] neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to 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 for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of 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 therefore, rather, brothers, be diligent to make steadfast your calling and [divine] selection, for doing these things you may never stumble;
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 in this way the entrance into the continuous kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplemented to you. (aiōnios )
Kajaqataj na ri uchiꞌ ja rech ri ajawarem rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo qaKolonel, ri maj ukꞌisik. (aiōnios )
12 Therefore, I will always be ready to remind you about these things, although you have known [them] and have been 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 and I think right, so long as I am in this tent, to stir you up in reminding [you],
Wetaꞌm chi yaꞌtal chwe kinqꞌalajisaj ri utzij ri Dios, rumal cher in kꞌas na.
14 having known that the laying aside of my tent is soon, even as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me.
Rumal kꞌu cher wetaꞌm chi man naj ta chik in kꞌaslik jeriꞌ xukꞌut ri Ajawxel Jesucristo chinuwach.
15 And I will also be diligent [to ensure] that you always have a remembrance to make of these things after my departure.
Kinkoj sibꞌalaj nuchuqꞌabꞌ rech jeriꞌ we kinkamik, kanaꞌtaj na chwe ronojel ri xinbꞌano.
16 For having not followed out skillfully devised fables, we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having become 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 having received honor and glory from God the Father, such a voice being borne to Him by the Excellent Glory: “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted”;
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 we heard this voice borne out of Heaven, being with Him at the holy mountain.
Qas uj kꞌo uj rukꞌ ri Jesús are xqata ri chꞌabꞌal ri upetik pa ri kaj, are uj kꞌo puꞌwiꞌ ri tyoxalaj juyubꞌ.
19 And we have a more firm prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until day may dawn, and [the] morning star may 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 Writing comes of private exposition,
Qas naꞌtaj chiꞌwe, chi man kꞌo ta jun qꞌalajisanik tzꞌibꞌatalik pa ri utzij ri Dios ri xaq achi xwokowik.
21 for prophecy never came by [the] will of man, but men spoke from God, being brought by the Holy Spirit.
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.
