< 2 Corinthians 12 >
1 It is necessary to boast, though it is not profitable. But I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Qas tzij wi, man taqal ta chwe kinnaꞌ nimal, chanim kꞌut kintzijoj chiꞌwe ri xukꞌut ri Ajawxel chinuwach.
2 I know a man in Messiah, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I do not know, or whether out of the body, I do not know; God knows), such a one was caught up into the third heaven.
Wetaꞌm uwach jun achi ri kꞌo pa Cristo chi kajlajuj junabꞌ xkꞌam bꞌik kꞌa churox kaj, we kꞌu pa ri utyoꞌjal o man pa ri utyoꞌjal ta neꞌ, man wetaꞌm taj, xaq xwi ri Dios etaꞌmaninaq.
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I do not know; God knows),
Xuqujeꞌ wetaꞌm chi we achi riꞌ (man wetaꞌm taj we pa ri utyoꞌjal o man pa ri utyoꞌjal ta neꞌ, xwi ri Dios etaꞌmaninaq)
4 how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a human to utter.
xkꞌam bꞌik kꞌa pa ri jeꞌlalaj kꞌolibꞌal rech chikajil, xutatabꞌej tzij ri man kitzij ta winaq xuqujeꞌ man yaꞌtal ta chike ri winaq kaketaꞌmaj.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
Kinkwinik kinya uqꞌij ri achi riꞌ, ri in kꞌut man kinya ta nuqꞌij, xaq xwi kinya nuqꞌij are xaq kinbꞌaqꞌoꞌtik.
6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no one may think more of me than that which he sees in me, or hears from me.
Pune jeriꞌ, we ta kawaj kinnaꞌ nimal, utz riꞌ we jeriꞌ kinbꞌano, rumal qas tzij ri kinbꞌij. Kinya kꞌu kan chilaꞌ rech man kꞌo ta jun kuchomaj jun jastaq chik chwij cho ri qas karilo xuqujeꞌ kuto katzijox chwij.
7 And because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, therefore, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to pound away at me, to keep me from exalting myself.
Rech kꞌu man nimal taj kinnaꞌo rumal ri jastaq ri xukꞌut ri Dios chinuwach jer xkoj jun kꞌix che ri nutyoꞌjal, jun utaqoꞌn ri itzel xutaq loq chinuchꞌayik chinupalaj, rech jeriꞌ man kinnimarisaj ta wibꞌ.
8 Concerning this thing, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
Oxmul xinta che ri Ajawxel chi karesaj chwe we riꞌ.
9 He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Messiah may rest on me.
Ri Ajawxel kꞌut xubꞌij chwe: Ri nutoqꞌobꞌ xaqareꞌ chawe, rumal cher ri nukwinem qas tzꞌaqat are xaq katbꞌaqꞌoꞌtik. Rumal kꞌu riꞌ qas rukꞌ ronojel wanimaꞌ kinnaꞌ nimal rukꞌ ri nubꞌaqꞌoꞌtem rech jeriꞌ kakꞌojiꞌ ri ukwinem ri Cristo pa nuwiꞌ.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Messiah's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
Rumal riꞌ kinkiꞌkotik pa ri nubꞌaqꞌoꞌtem, xuqujeꞌ are kabꞌix kꞌax taq tzij chwe, are man kaya ta bꞌe kinbꞌan ri rajawaxik, are kintzukuxik rech kabꞌan kꞌax chwe, xuqujeꞌ are kinbꞌisonik, rumal cher are xaq kinbꞌaqꞌoꞌtik, kꞌa te riꞌ kꞌo nuchuqꞌabꞌ.
11 I have become foolish. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
Are xinnaꞌ nimal, jer xinnoꞌjinik jun winaq ri man kꞌo ta retaꞌmabꞌal, ri ix kꞌut xinitaqchiꞌj rech jewaꞌ kinbꞌano. Rumal cher taqalik chi ix kiya nuqꞌij, rumal man in taj in nitzꞌ chikiwach ri sibꞌalaj e nimaq taq taqoꞌn, pune in man kꞌo ta kinuxik.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
Ri chak ri kakꞌutuwik chi jun qas taqoꞌn, xbꞌanik chiꞌxoꞌl, jacha ta ne ri etal, mayijabꞌal taq jastaq ri xkꞌulmataj iwukꞌ ix.
13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the churches, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong.
¿Jas xixkꞌexen wi ix kukꞌ ri nikꞌaj taq komontyox chik? Xaq xwi chi man xinux ta jun eqaꞌn chiꞌwe. Chikuyuꞌ we man utz kita ri kinbꞌij.
14 Look, for the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not what is yours, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Qas tzij ronojel chik nusukꞌuman rech kixeꞌnsolij churox mul, man kinux ta kꞌu jun eqaꞌn chiꞌwe che waꞌ, rumal cher man are ta kawaj kinta chiꞌwe ri kꞌo iwukꞌ rumal cher man are ta ri aꞌlkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ kakiyak jastaq rech kakikoj ri e tat nan, xane are ri tat nan kakiyak jastaq rech kakikoj ri aꞌlkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
Xaq jeriꞌ qas rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal kinsach ri jastaq we, xuqujeꞌ in kinjarisaj wibꞌ xa rumal iwe. Pune man qꞌalaj taj chi kiniloqꞌaj jetaq ri kinbꞌan in che iloqꞌaxik.
16 But be it so, I did not myself burden you. But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.
We bꞌa ne jeriꞌ man in jun eqaꞌn ta chiꞌwe, xane rumal sibꞌalaj kachoman ri nujolom rumal ri xinkoj jun kꞌaꞌmabꞌal pa ri ibꞌe.
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of them whom I have sent to you?
¿La xa kꞌu xixinsubꞌu rumal ri jun nutaqoꞌn ri xintaq bꞌik iwukꞌ?
18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did not we walk in the same spirit? Did not we walk in the same steps?
Xinta toqꞌobꞌ che ri Tito rech kixeꞌrila xuqujeꞌ xintaq bꞌik ri jun alaxik rukꞌ ¿la xa kꞌu xixusubꞌ ri Tito? ¿La man kꞌu xa che jun uxlabꞌal uj petinaq wi xuqujeꞌ junam bꞌe ujbꞌininaq wi rukꞌ ri Tito?
19 Have you been thinking all this time that we have been defending ourselves before you? In the sight of God we speak in Messiah; and all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
¿Teꞌq piꞌkꞌuꞌx chi ronojel we qꞌotaj ri uj petinaq loq, xaq tajin kaqatzukuj jas kaqabꞌij chiꞌwe? Qas cho ri Dios, pa Cristo kujtzijonik. Loqꞌalaj taq qachalal, ronojel ri kaqabꞌano, kaqabꞌano che itoꞌik.
20 For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you do not desire; that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, riots;
Kinxiꞌj wibꞌ, rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ man kixeꞌnriqa taj jetaq ri kawaj, xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ man je ta kinnoꞌjinik jetaq ri kiwaj ix are kinopanik. Kinxiꞌj wibꞌ rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ kꞌo chꞌoꞌj kꞌax kinaꞌ chike nikꞌaj chik, oyawal, paꞌin taq ibꞌ, etzelal, tzijtaꞌlik, nimal xuqujeꞌ man tajin ta kabꞌan ri jastaq pa ucholajil, chiꞌxoꞌl.
21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness and sexual immorality and lustfulness which they committed.
Kinxiꞌj wibꞌ, are kinchomaj rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ kubꞌan chwe ri Dios chi kinmochꞌ wibꞌ rumal iwe are kinopan iwukꞌ, wine kinoqꞌ kumal ke e kꞌi ri e makuninaq kanoq nabꞌe, xuqujeꞌ man kikꞌexom ta kikꞌuꞌx rumal ri ketzelal xuqujeꞌ ri mak kibꞌanom ri itzel taq kirayinik kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ je xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌarkꞌatik ri kijachom wi kibꞌ.
