2 Corinthians 12
1 I must boast! It is unprofitable; but I will pass to visions and revelations given by 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 union with Christ, who, fourteen years ago — whether in the body or out of the body I do not know; God knows — was caught up (this man of whom I am speaking) to 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 And I know that this man — whether in the body or separated 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 Was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable things of which no human being may tell.
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 About such a man I will boast, but about myself I will not boast except as regards my weaknesses.
Kinkwinik kinya uqꞌij ri achi riꞌ, ri in kꞌut man kinya ta nuqꞌij, xaq xwi kinya nuqꞌij are xaq kinbꞌaqꞌoꞌtik.
6 Yet if I choose to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I shall be speaking no more than the truth. But I refrain, lest any one should credit me with more than he can see in me or hear from me, and because of the marvellous character of the revelations.
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 It was for this reason, and to prevent my thinking too highly of myself, that a thorn was sent to pierce my flesh — an instrument of Satan to discipline me — so that I should not think too highly of 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 About this I three times entreated the Lord, praying that it might leave me.
Oxmul xinta che ri Ajawxel chi karesaj chwe we riꞌ.
9 But his reply has been — ‘My help is enough for you; for my strength attains its perfection in the midst of weakness.’ Most gladly, then, will I boast all the more of my weaknesses, so that the strength of the Christ may overshadow 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 That is why I delight in weakness, ill-treatment, hardship, persecution, and difficulties, when borne for Christ. For, when I am weak, then it is that I am 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 been “playing the fool!” It is you who drove me to it. For it is you who ought to have been commending me! Although I am nobody, in no respect did I prove inferior to the most eminent Apostles.
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 The marks of the true Apostle were exhibited among you in constant endurance, as well as by signs, by marvels, and by miracles.
Ri chak ri kakꞌutuwik chi jun qas taqoꞌn, xbꞌanik chiꞌxoꞌl, jacha ta ne ri etal, mayijabꞌal taq jastaq ri xkꞌulmataj iwukꞌ ix.
13 In what respect, I ask, were you treated worse than the other Churches, unless it was that, for my part, I refused to become a burden to you? Forgive me the wrong I thus did you!
¿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 Remember, this is the third time that I have made every preparation to come to see you, and I shall refuse to be a burden to you; I want, not your money, but you. It is not the duty of children to put by for their parents, but of parents to put by for their 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 For my part, I will most gladly spend, and be spent, for your welfare. Can it be that the more intensely I love you the less I am to be loved?
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 You will admit that I was not a burden to you but you say that I was “crafty” and caught you “by a trick”!
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 Do you assert that I took advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you?
¿La xa kꞌu xixinsubꞌu rumal ri jun nutaqoꞌn ri xintaq bꞌik iwukꞌ?
18 I urged Titus to go, and I sent our Brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did not we live in the same Spirit, and tread in the same footsteps?
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 all this time been fancying that it is to you that we are making our defence? No, it is in the sight of God, and in union with Christ, that we are speaking. And all this, dear friends, is to build up your characters;
¿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 perhaps, when I come, I may find that you are not what I want you to be, and, on the other hand, that you may find that I am what you do not want me to be. I am afraid that I may find quarrelling, jealousy, ill-feeling, rivalry, slandering, back-biting, self-assertion, and disorder.
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 I am afraid lest, on my next visit, my God may humble me in regard to you, and that I may have to mourn over many who have long been sinning, and have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and sensuality, in which they have indulged.
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.
