< 2 Corinthians 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in the whole of Achaia:
Ri Pablo taqoꞌn rech ri Cristo Jesús xa rumal ri urayibꞌal kuꞌx ri Dios, rachiꞌl ri alaxik Timoteo, kakitaq rutzil kiwach konojel ri e kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Corinto pa Acaya:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Are ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Tataxel rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo kiya jaꞌmaril xuqujeꞌ toqꞌobꞌ piꞌwanimaꞌ.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
Qꞌijilaꞌtal ri Dios Tataxel rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, bꞌanal toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ yaꞌl kuꞌlibꞌal kꞌuꞌx.
4 who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
Areꞌ kakubꞌisan qakꞌuꞌx pa ronojel taq ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri kaqariqo, rech jeriꞌ kujkwinik kaqakubꞌisaj kikꞌuꞌx konojel ri kakiriq kꞌax.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.
Rumal cher jacha ri unimal ri kꞌaxkꞌolal kaqariqo jeriꞌ xuqujeꞌ na unimal ri kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx kaqariqo.
6 But whether we be afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we be comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:
We uj kaqarik kꞌax, kaqariqo, rech ix kiriq kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx xuqujeꞌ koltajem. We kakubꞌisax qakꞌuꞌx uj, jewaꞌ kabꞌanik rech kakubꞌiꞌ xuqujeꞌ ikꞌuꞌx ix rech kiqꞌiꞌo rukꞌ ayeꞌnik ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri kaqarik uj.
7 and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort.
Kuꞌl qakꞌuꞌx chiꞌwij rumal qetaꞌm chi jacha ri ix ix qachiꞌl pa ri kꞌaxkꞌolal, ix qachiꞌl xuqujeꞌ chuyaꞌik kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx.
8 For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell [us] in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
Qachalal, man kaqaj taj chi mat kiwetaꞌmaj ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri xqarik pa Asia. Sibꞌalaj xkꞌistaj qakꞌuꞌx, pa qakꞌuꞌx chi man uj kꞌas ta chik kujel la chilaꞌ.
9 yea, we ourselves have had the answer of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
Xqanaꞌo chi jer xqꞌat tzij pa qawiꞌ rech kujkamisaxik. Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmatajik rech makakubꞌiꞌ taj qakꞌuꞌx chibꞌil qibꞌ uj xane kakubꞌiꞌ qakꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios ri kuꞌkꞌastajisaj kaminaqibꞌ.
10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;
Ri Dios xujutoꞌo jeriꞌ man xujkam taj. Chirij areꞌ jeqel wi qakꞌuꞌx, are kujtoꞌwik.
11 ye also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.
Ri ix kꞌut chujitoꞌ rukꞌ ri ichꞌawem pa qawiꞌ. Rech jeriꞌ sibꞌalaj e kꞌi ketyoxin che ri Dios rumal ri sipanik ri xyaꞌtaj chaqe rumal xtzalitaj uwach ri qachꞌawem.
12 For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
Are ri qaqꞌalajisanik kayoꞌw kiꞌkotemal chaqe: utz xujnoꞌjin pa ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ iwukꞌ ix, qas rukꞌ rutzil qanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ man rukꞌ ta etzelal, man are ta xqakoj ketaꞌmabꞌal achyabꞌ xane are xqakoj ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios.
13 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or even acknowledge, and I hope ye will acknowledge unto the end:
Jeriꞌ rumal cher man tajin ta kaqatzꞌibꞌaj jun jastaq ri mat kisikꞌij uwach xuqujeꞌ ri mat kichꞌobꞌo. Kurayij ri wanimaꞌ chikichomaj ronojel.
14 as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that we are your glorying, even as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
Iwetaꞌm chik chi utz kinaꞌ nimal rumal qe, xuqujeꞌ uj kaqanaꞌ na nimal rumal iwe pa ri uqꞌijal ri Ajawxel Jesús.
15 And in this confidence I was minded to come before unto you, that ye might have a second benefit;
Rumal riꞌ xwaj xixinsolij ix nabꞌe rech kikꞌamawaꞌj jun ukabꞌ tewechibꞌal.
16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and of you to be set forward on my journey unto Judaea.
Iwumal iwe kinikꞌow bꞌik pa ri tinimit Macedonia, are kineꞌ pa Corinto xuqujeꞌ kinikꞌow chi loq junmul iwukꞌ are kintzalij loq. Rech jeriꞌ kinitoꞌo kintzalij pa ri tinimit Judea.
17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I shew fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay?
Are xinbꞌij we riꞌ chibꞌil wibꞌ ¿Teꞌq piꞌkꞌuꞌx chi xaq aninaq xinchomalaꞌ xinbꞌij jeꞌ kinbꞌan we riꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ kinbꞌij chik man kinbꞌan taj?
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay.
Ri Dios kꞌut retaꞌm chi man nabꞌe taj kaqabꞌij chiꞌwe chi jeꞌ, je laꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ kaqabꞌij man je taj. Ri uj kujtakꞌiꞌ pa qatzij.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, [even] by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea.
Rumal cher ri Ukꞌojol ri Dios ri Jesucristo, ri kaqatzijoj in, ri Silvano, xuqujeꞌ ri Timoteo, man kukꞌexmayila taj ribꞌ xane qas takꞌal wi ri kubꞌij.
20 For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us.
Rumal cher ronojel ri ubꞌim loq ri Dios tzi je wi riꞌ xuqujeꞌ jeriꞌ pa Cristo, rumal riꞌ kaqabꞌij uj jeriꞌ, rech kaqaqꞌijilaꞌj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios.
21 Now he that stablisheth us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;
Are ri Dios kajeqebꞌan qakꞌuꞌx xuqujeꞌ ikꞌuꞌx ix pa Cristo, rumal cher are xujchoꞌwik.
22 who also sealed us, and gave [us] the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
Xukoj qetal pa qanimaꞌ rukꞌ ri Uxlabꞌixel, kꞌutbꞌal rech chi qas tzij kubꞌan na ri ubꞌim loq chaqe.
23 But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth.
Qas cho ri Dios kinbꞌij chi man inbꞌenaq ta pa ri tinimit Corinto rech man kixeꞌn yaja taj.
24 Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
Man xa ta kaqaj kabꞌan qe pa iwiꞌ, xane are kaqaj kujchakun iwukꞌ rumal kaqaj kixqatoꞌo rech kakꞌiy ri ikiꞌkotemal, rumal cher are ri ikojobꞌal kabꞌanow chiꞌwe chi ko kixkꞌojiꞌk.
