< 2 Timothy 2 >

1 Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Xaq jeriꞌ nukꞌojol, chakꞌamawaꞌj achuqꞌabꞌ rumal ri toqꞌobꞌ ri kꞌo qukꞌ pa Cristo.
2 And the things which thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Ri atom, nubꞌim chkiwach e kꞌi winaq, chaꞌtaqchiꞌj ri kojonelabꞌ e kuꞌlibꞌal taq kuꞌx, xuqujeꞌ qas kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal chukꞌutik chkiwach nikꞌaj winaq chik.
3 Suffer hardship with [me], as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Chatzijoj ri kꞌax ri qariqom, jeꞌ jas jun ajchꞌoꞌj chajil tinimit, rech ri Cristo.
4 No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
Maj jun ajchꞌoꞌj chajil tinimit kaqaj choch ri kꞌamal ubꞌe, we are keꞌ ukꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ri jastaq rech ri leꞌaj ri kel wi.
5 And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except he have contended lawfully.
Je xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta jun winaq ri kok pa jun tijoj anim, kukꞌamawaꞌj ri korona we man kunimaj ri kubꞌij ri taqanik rech ri etzꞌanem.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be the first to partake of the fruits.
Ri ajchak ri sibꞌalaj kachakunik yaꞌtal bꞌe che kukꞌamawaꞌj rech nabꞌe, ri yakoj.
7 Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.
Qas chachomaj rij we kinbꞌij chawe, ri Ajawxel kꞌut katutoꞌ chuchꞌobꞌik waꞌ we riꞌ.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel:
Man kattaniꞌ ta che unaꞌtaxik ri Jesucristo, rijaꞌl ri David, ri xwaꞌjilisax chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ. Are waꞌ ri utz laj taq tzij.
9 wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.
Rumal rech in jatꞌitalik jacha jun bꞌanal kꞌax. Ri utzij ri Dios kꞌut man jatꞌital taj.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
Kinkochꞌ kꞌu ronojel ri qꞌoxomal kumal ke ri e chaꞌtalik. Rech xuqujeꞌ koꞌpan pa ri koltajem ri kajuluwik ri maj ukꞌisik, ri yaꞌtal chaqe pa Cristo. (aiōnios g166)
11 Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him:
Qas tzij wi we tzij riꞌ: We kujkam rukꞌ ri Cristo, kujkꞌasiꞌ xuqujeꞌ na rukꞌ.
12 if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us:
We kaqachuqꞌabꞌej, kujtaqan kꞌu na rukꞌ, we kaqabꞌij chi man qetaꞌm ta uwach Areꞌ xuqujeꞌ kubꞌij na chi man retaꞌm ta qawach.
13 if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself.
We man kujjeqiꞌ pa ri kaqabꞌij, Areꞌ kajeqiꞌ wi pa ri utzij, man kakwin taj kukꞌekꞌej ribꞌ.
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging [them] in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear.
Man kattaniꞌ ta che unaꞌtaxik we riꞌ chike ri kojonelabꞌ. Chabꞌij chike man kakiya ta bꞌe che taq ri tzijitzatem ri maj kutayij, rumal xaq xwi kuꞌtukij ri ketowik.
15 Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.
Chabꞌana ri achuqꞌabꞌ, rech katqaj cho ri Dios, jeꞌ jas jun ajchak ri maj kukꞌixibꞌej, ri kakwinik sukꞌ kuqꞌaxaj ri tzij rech qas tzij.
16 But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
Chaqꞌila awibꞌ chubꞌixik kꞌi taq tzij ri man tyoxalaj taq tzij taj, rumal ri jewaꞌ kakibꞌano, tajin kenajtin che ri utz laj bꞌe,
17 and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
xuqujeꞌ ri itzel taq kikꞌutuꞌn tajin kajabꞌunik jer kꞌo jun yabꞌil. Chikixoꞌl we winaq riꞌ e kꞌo ri Himeneo rachiꞌl ri Fileto,
18 men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.
aꞌre waꞌ ri kiqꞌatom kibꞌ che ri qas tzij. Tajin kakibꞌij chi xkꞌulmataj ri kꞌastajibꞌal kiwach ri kaminaqibꞌ, kakimenkꞌetij kꞌu ri kojobꞌal kech e jujun.
19 Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.
Pune jewaꞌ kakꞌulmatajik, ri utakꞌalibꞌal ri Dios sibꞌalaj ko kꞌolik, rumal cher kojtal retal rukꞌ we tzꞌibꞌatalik riꞌ: Retaꞌm ri Ajawxel konojel ri e rech. We jun chik riꞌ kubꞌij: Ri winaq ri kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel, chuqꞌila ribꞌ che ri mak.
20 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honour, and some unto dishonour.
Pa jun nimalaj ja man xwi ta kꞌo qumubꞌal ri bꞌantal che qꞌana pwaq, xuqujeꞌ saqa pwaq, xane kꞌo xuqujeꞌ bꞌantal che, cheꞌ xuqujeꞌ kꞌo bꞌantal che ulew, kꞌo are kupatanij che ri jastaq ri nim uqꞌij, kꞌo xuqujeꞌ are kakoj che ri jastaq ri man nim ta uqꞌij.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, meet for the master’s use, prepared unto every good work.
We kꞌu kꞌo jun kukꞌaslebꞌej jun chꞌajchꞌoj laj kꞌaslemal, kuxik jun jeꞌl laj kꞌolibꞌal, tyoxirisatalik, kꞌo kutayij che ri Ajawxel, xuqujeꞌ kakwinik kubꞌan utz laj taq chak.
22 But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Chatanimajok choch ri rayinik rech alkꞌaꞌlal, are chabꞌana achuqꞌabꞌ chatereneꞌj ri sukꞌal, ri kojobꞌal, ri loqꞌanik, xuqujeꞌ ri jaꞌmaril, kukꞌ ri kakinaꞌtaj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel rukꞌ jun chꞌajchꞌoj laj animaꞌaj.
23 But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes.
Man kanim ta awibꞌ pa taq tzijonem ri maj kutayij, awetaꞌm chi chꞌoꞌj kakꞌisbꞌen rech ronojel.
24 And the Lord’s servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing,
Xuqujeꞌ maj jun patanil rech ri Ajawxel ri xaq chꞌoꞌj karilij, xane rajawaxik utz kanoꞌjin kukꞌ konojel, kakwinik kuya kꞌutuꞌn, man aninaq taj kayojtajik.
25 in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,
Xaq jeriꞌ rukꞌ mochꞌochꞌem, chaꞌsukꞌumaj ri e kꞌulel, kuꞌl akꞌuꞌx che ri Dios rech kubꞌan chike chi kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx, rech kaketaꞌmaj ri qas tzij.
26 and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by the Lord’s servant unto the will of God.
Rech kekꞌastajik xuqujeꞌ man keqaj ta pa ri kꞌaꞌmabꞌal jawjeꞌ ri kuꞌtzꞌapij wi ri Itzel, rech kakibꞌan ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx.
