< 2 Corinthians 7 >

1 With these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that pollutes either body or spirit, and, in deepest reverence for God, aim at perfect holiness.
Jeriꞌ, loqꞌalaj taq qachalal, xa rumal kꞌu che ri bꞌiꞌtal loq we jastaq riꞌ chaqe, qachꞌajchꞌobꞌej qibꞌ che ronojel ri kuchꞌulujij ri qatyoꞌjal xuqujeꞌ ri qanimaꞌ, rech jeriꞌ katzꞌaqat ri tyoxalaj qachak pa ri umochꞌoj ibꞌ ri Dios.
2 Make room for us in your hearts. In no instance have we ever wronged, or harmed, or taken advantage of, any one.
Chujiya pa ri iwanimaꞌ. Man kꞌo ta jun qabꞌanom kꞌax che, man kꞌo ta jun mat qabꞌanom ri sukꞌal rukꞌ, man kꞌo ta jun xaq xqamenkꞌetij.
3 I am not saying this to condemn you. Indeed, I have already said that you are in our very heart, to live and die together.
Man xa ta tajin kinqꞌat tzij piꞌwiꞌ, xinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ix kꞌo pa qanimaꞌ, rech pune kujkamik o kujkꞌasiꞌk ne junam.
4 I have the utmost confidence in you; I am always boasting about you. I am full of encouragement and, in spite of all our troubles, my heart is overflowing with happiness.
Qas kuꞌl na kꞌuꞌx chiꞌwe xuqujeꞌ nimal kinnaꞌo rumal iwe. Sibꞌalaj nukꞌamom nuchuqꞌabꞌ, pa ronojel ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri kaqariqo, kapulin ri qakiꞌkotemal.
5 Ever since we reached Macedonia, we have had no rest in body or mind; on every side there have been troubles — conflicts without, anxieties within.
Are xujopanik pa Macedonia, man xujuxlan ta wi, xane sibꞌalaj xqariq kꞌax, xqariq chꞌoꞌj pa ri qatyoꞌjal xuqujeꞌ xqaxiꞌj qibꞌ pa qanimaꞌ.
6 But God, who encourages the downcast, has encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.
Are kꞌu ri Dios ri kukubꞌisaj kikꞌuꞌx ri kebꞌisonik, xukubꞌisaj qakꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ri ropanibꞌal ri Tito.
7 And it is not only by his arrival that we are encouraged, but also by the encouragement which he received from you; for he tells us of your strong affection, your penitence, and your zeal on my behalf — so that I am happier still.
Man xaq xwi ta rumal ri rulibꞌal, xane rumal ri kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx ri xiya loq che. Sibꞌalaj xinkiꞌkotik areꞌ xutzijoj chaqe chi sibꞌalaj kꞌax ikꞌuꞌx chwe xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj kinibꞌisoj.
8 For, though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Even if I were inclined to regret it — for I see that my letter did cause you sorrow though only for a time —
Pune xinyak ibꞌis rukꞌ ri nuwuj ri xintaq chiꞌwe, man kꞌax ta kꞌu kinnaꞌ che. Pune nabꞌe kanoq xinbꞌisonik rumal xinto chi ri wuj ri xintaq chiꞌwe xuyak ibꞌis.
9 I am glad now; not because of the sorrow it caused you, but because your sorrow brought you to repentance. For it was God’s will that you should feel sorrow, in order that you should not suffer loss in any way at our hands.
Kamik kꞌut kinkiꞌkotik, man rumal ta che ri xixbꞌison rumal ri nuwuj, xane rumal che ri ibꞌis xubꞌan chiꞌwe chi xikꞌex ikꞌuꞌx. Xixbꞌisonik jetaq ri karaj ri Dios rumal riꞌ qetaꞌm chi man xa ta xqabꞌan kꞌax chiꞌwe.
10 For, when sorrow is in accordance with God’s will, it results in a repentance leading to Salvation, and which will never be regretted. The sure result of the sorrow that the world knows is Death.
Ri bꞌis ri kape rukꞌ ri Dios kubꞌan che ri winaq kukꞌex ukꞌuꞌx rech jeriꞌ kakolotajik, we riꞌ jun utz laj bꞌis, are kꞌu ri bꞌis rech uwachulew kukꞌam loq kamikal.
11 For see what results that other sorrow — sorrow in accordance with God’s will — has had in your case. What earnestness it produced! what explanations! what strong feeling! what alarm! what longing! what eagerness! what readiness to punish! You have proved yourselves altogether free from guilt in that matter.
Utz riꞌ ri xubꞌan ri Dios chiꞌwe chi kixbꞌisonik. Sibꞌalaj xixkꞌexenik, jeriꞌ xiwilo chi man kꞌo ta numak xuqujeꞌ xitoꞌ nuwiꞌ. Xixyojtajik xuqujeꞌ xixiꞌj iwibꞌ che ri kakꞌulmatajik. Xurayij iwanimaꞌ xiwil nuwach, xiqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri ajmak. Rukꞌ ronojel we riꞌ xikꞌutu chi man ix taj ri ix ajmakibꞌ.
12 So, then, even though I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the wrong-doer, or of the man who was wronged, but to make you conscious, in the sight of God, of your own earnest care for us. And it is this that has encouraged us.
Xaq jeriꞌ, xintzꞌibꞌaj we wuj riꞌ chiꞌwe, man rumal ta rech ri xuriq kꞌax o ri xbꞌan kꞌax che, xane are kawaj chi qas cho ri Dios kichꞌobꞌo chi elinaq ikꞌuꞌx chaqe.
13 In addition to the encouragement that this gave us, we were made far happier still by the happiness of Titus for his heart has been cheered by you all.
Rumal riꞌ xkubꞌisax qakꞌuꞌx. Xuqujeꞌ xaq uwiꞌnam ri kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx ri xya chaqe, xujkiꞌkotik are xqilo ri ukiꞌkotemal ri Tito, rumal cher iwonojel xiya loq uchuqꞌabꞌ ri ranimaꞌ.
14 Although I have been boasting a little to him about you, you did not put me to shame; but, just as every thing we had said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus about you has also proved to be the truth.
Nubꞌim chiꞌwe chi nimal kinnaꞌo rumal iwe, man iniyaꞌom ta kꞌut pa nukꞌixibꞌal. Xane ronojel ri xqabꞌij chiꞌwe, qas tzij wi, xuqujeꞌ qas tzij qas xinya wi iqꞌij cho ri Tito.
15 And his affection for you is all the greater, as he remembers the deference that you all showed him, and recalls how you received him with anxious care.
Ri Tito qas sibꞌalaj ixuloqꞌ, rumal cher kanaꞌtaj che chi iwonojel xinimaj xuqujeꞌ xikꞌamawaꞌj pa ri mochꞌoj ibꞌ xuqujeꞌ nim xiwilo.
16 I am glad that I can feel perfect confidence in you.
Kinkiꞌkotik, rumal cher wetaꞌm chi kakubꞌiꞌ na kꞌuꞌx chiꞌwij pa ronojel ri kinbꞌano.
