< 2 Thessalonians 2 >
1 As to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being gathered to meet him, we beg you, Brothers,
Qachalal, are kꞌu ri upetik ri Ajawxel Jesucristo xuqujeꞌ ri qariqoj ibꞌ rukꞌ areꞌ, qas kixqabꞌochiꞌj rech
2 not lightly to let your minds become unsettled, nor yet to be disturbed by any revelation, or by any message, or by any letter, purporting to come from us, to the effect that the Day of the Lord is come.
makꞌexen ri ichomabꞌal xuqujeꞌ makꞌaxir iwanimaꞌ rumal ri kabꞌix chiꞌwe chi xuriq ri upetibꞌal ri Ajawxel we kabꞌix chiꞌwe rumal jun uxlabꞌal, pa tzij ne kabꞌix chiꞌwe o xuqujeꞌ xane pa wuj tzꞌibꞌatal wi loq chiꞌwe pune qatzꞌibꞌ uj kabꞌantajik.
3 Do not let any one deceive you, whatever he may do. For it will not come until after the Great Apostasy, and the appearing of that Incarnation of Wickedness, that the Lost soul,
Miya iwibꞌ pa subꞌik, ri uqꞌijal ri Ajawxel kꞌamajaꞌ kuriqo are nabꞌe kakꞌulmataj ri elik pa ri kojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌij are kukꞌut ribꞌ ri achi bꞌanal mak, ri ralkꞌwaꞌl etzelal.
4 who so opposes himself to every one that is spoken of as a God or as an object of worship, and so exalts himself above them, that he seats himself in the Temple of God, and displays himself as God!
We achi riꞌ kubꞌan ukꞌulel che ronojel ri tzujtal cho ri Dios. Kubꞌan kꞌu na rech che ri Templo xuqujeꞌ kubꞌij na Dios chibꞌil ribꞌ.
5 Do not you remember how, when I was with you, I used to speak to you of all this?
¿La man kanaꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi xintzijoj waꞌ we riꞌ chiꞌwe are in kꞌo iwukꞌ?
6 And you know now what the restraining influence is which prevents his appearing before his appointed time.
Iwetaꞌm chi kꞌo jun jastaq ri kaqꞌaten we achi riꞌ rech man kukꞌut ta na ribꞌ xane kꞌa te kukꞌut ribꞌ qas pa ri uqꞌijal.
7 Wickedness, indeed, is already at work in secret; but only until he who at present restrains it is removed out of the way.
Je kꞌu riꞌ rumal cher tajin kachakun chik ri etzelal ri awatal loq, xaq xwi majaꞌ kesaxik ri tajin kaqꞌaten we achi riꞌ rech kukꞌut ribꞌ.
8 Then will ‘Wickedness Incarnate’ appear, but the Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath of his lips, and annihilate him by the splendour of his Coming.
We xikꞌow we riꞌ, kukꞌut na ribꞌ ri itzel achi, are riꞌ ri kakamisax na rumal ri Ajawxel rukꞌ ri Uxlabꞌal ri kel loq puꞌchiꞌ xuqujeꞌ katukix na rukꞌ ri utunal ri upetibꞌal ri Ajawxel.
9 For at the Coming of the Lord there will be great activity on the part of Satan, in the form of all kinds of deceptive miracles, signs, and marvels, as well as of wicked attempts to delude —
Are ri Itzel kabꞌanow na chi ri itzel achi kape na kulubꞌanaꞌ ronojel uwach mayijabꞌal taq jastaq, kꞌutbꞌal xuqujeꞌ jastaq ri xaq qꞌolobꞌal.
10 to the ruin of those who are on the path to destruction, because they have never received and loved the Truth to their own Salvation.
Rukꞌ ronojel uwach etzelal kuꞌmenkꞌetij na konojel ri kasach kiwach, jeriꞌ rumal man xkaj taj xkiloqꞌaj ri qas tzij rumal riꞌ man xekolotaj taj.
11 That is why God places them under the influence of a delusion, to cause them to believe a lie;
Rumal riꞌ, kuya na bꞌe ri Dios che we jastaq riꞌ kakꞌulmatajik rech rumal ri ukwinem ri subꞌunik, ri winaq kekojon na che ri bꞌanoj tzij.
12 so that sentence may be passed on all those who refuse to believe the Truth, but delight in wickedness.
Rech jeriꞌ kaqꞌat na tzij pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri man xekojon ta che ri qas tzij, xane are xekiꞌkot chubꞌanik ri etzelal.
13 But, Brothers, whom the Lord loves, it is our duty always to thank God about you, for, from the first, God chose you for Salvation through the purifying influence of the Spirit, and your belief in the Truth.
Ri uj kꞌut rajawaxik kaqaya tyoxinik che ri Dios rumal iwe ix qachalal, rumal ix loqꞌ rumal ri Ajawxel, jeriꞌ rumal pa ri majibꞌal rech ronojel, ri Dios xixuchaꞌo rech kixkolotajik rumal ri chak rech ri Uxlabꞌixel ri katyoxirisanik xuqujeꞌ ri ikojobꞌal ri kꞌo pa ri qas tzij.
14 To this you were called by the Good News which we brought you, to attain to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rumal waꞌ xixusikꞌij apanoq ri Dios rumal ri utz laj taq tzij ri xqatzijoj chiꞌwe, rech jeriꞌ kꞌo iwe che ri ujuluwem ri Ajawxel Jesucristo.
15 Stand firm then, Brothers, and hold fast to the truths that we taught you, whether by word or by letter.
Xaq jeriꞌ qachalal, kꞌo chixkꞌoloq xuqujeꞌ chixjeqeloq pa taq ri kꞌutuꞌn ri qabꞌim xuqujeꞌ qatzꞌibꞌam chiꞌwe.
16 And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and, in his loving-kindness, gave us unfailing consolation and good ground for hope, (aiōnios )
Tzaꞌre ri Ajawxel Jesucristo rachiꞌl ri Dios Tataxel ri xujuloqꞌaj xuqujeꞌ rumal ri utoqꞌobꞌ xukubꞌisaj qakꞌuꞌx chibꞌe qꞌij saq. (aiōnios )
17 console your hearts, and strengthen you to do and to say all that is right.
Chixutaqchiꞌj xuqujeꞌ chuya uchuqꞌabꞌ ri iwanimaꞌ rech ta kꞌu pa tzij xuqujeꞌ pa ri chak are chibꞌana ri utzilal.
