Hebrews 12
1 Seeing, therefore, that there is on every side of us such a throng of witnesses, let us also lay aside everything that hinders us, and the sin that clings about us, and run with patient endurance the race that lies before us,
Rumal kꞌu che ri sutital qij kumal sibꞌalaj kꞌi winaq ri tajin kujilow loq, qaya bꞌa kanoq ri raꞌlal ri makaj ri xaq kujuqꞌatej, xane are qilij ri bꞌinem ri kꞌo chiqawach.
2 our eyes fixed upon Jesus, the Leader and perfect Example of our faith, who, for the joy that lay before him, endured the cross, heedless of its shame, and now ‘has taken his seat at the right hand’ of the throne of God.
Are qila ri Jesús rumal cher chirij areꞌ kuꞌl wi qakꞌuꞌx rumal areꞌ xmajin loq ri qakojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ are katzꞌaqatisan na. Are ri Jesús xqꞌiꞌowik ri kꞌixibꞌal are xkamik cho ri ripbꞌal rumal cher retaꞌm chi kakiꞌkot na are kikꞌow chupam ri kꞌaxkꞌolal. Chanim kꞌut tꞌuyul pa uwiqiqꞌabꞌ ri utꞌuyulibꞌal ri Dios pa ri kaj.
3 Weigh well the example of him who had to endure such opposition from ‘men who were sinning against themselves,’ so that you should not grow weary or faint-hearted.
Chixchoman chirij ri xnoꞌjinik ri Jesús. Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq xeꞌtzelan uwach xuqujeꞌ xkibꞌan kꞌax che, man xtzalij ta kꞌu kan chirij. Rumal riꞌ man kuya taj kixqꞌiꞌtaj chubꞌanik ri tajin kibꞌano.
4 You have not yet, in your struggle with sin, resisted to the death;
Kꞌamajaꞌ ya kixkamisaxik pa ri chꞌoꞌj ri kibꞌan rukꞌ ri mak.
5 and you have forgotten the encouraging words which are addressed to you as God’s Children — ‘My child, think not lightly of the Lord’s discipline, Do not despond when he rebukes you;
La xsachan kꞌu chiꞌwe ri utzij ri Dios ri bꞌiꞌtal loq chuyaꞌik ichuqꞌabꞌ jeriꞌ rumal cher ix ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios. Ri tzij ri xbꞌix loq chiꞌwe kubꞌij: Nukꞌojol, man kawetzelaj taj ri pixabꞌ ri kuya ri Ajawxel chawe, xuqujeꞌ man katchuquchubꞌ taj are katuyajo.
6 For it is him whom he loves that he disciplines, And he chastises every child whom he acknowledges.’
Rumal cher ri Dios kusukꞌumaj ri kuloqꞌaj xuqujeꞌ kurapuj ri kukꞌamawaꞌj che ralkꞌwaꞌl.
7 It is for your discipline that you have to endure all this. God is dealing with you as his Children. For where is there a child whom his father does not discipline?
Ri Dios kixukꞌamawaꞌj che ralkꞌwaꞌl we kikochꞌo ri uyojonik ri Dios, rumal cher man kꞌo ta jun tataxel riꞌ ri mat kuꞌyaj ri ralkꞌwaꞌl.
8 If you are left without that discipline, in which all children share, it shows that you are bastards, and not true Children.
We man kixuyaj ri Dios jetaq ri kubꞌan chike ri e ralkꞌwaꞌl, man qas ta bꞌa ix ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios riꞌ.
9 Further, when our earthly fathers disciplined us, we respected them. Shall we not, then, much rather yield submission to the Father of souls, and live?
Ojer, are uj akꞌalabꞌ na, ri e qatat qanan rech ri uwachulew xeꞌqanimaj pune xujkiyajo. La are ta kꞌu mat kaqanimaj ri Dios, ri qatat ri kꞌo pa ri kaj, rumal we kaqanimaj ri kubꞌij kaqarik na jun alik kꞌaslemal.
10 Our fathers disciplined us for only a short time and as seemed best to them; but God disciplines us for our true good, to enable us to share his holiness.
Qas tzij ri qatat qanan ojer xujkiyajo xuqujeꞌ xujkipixibꞌaj jun janipa qꞌij jetaq ri xkaj, ri Dios kꞌut kujupixabꞌaj rumal karaj kujuxik tyoxalaj taq winaq jacha ri areꞌ sibꞌalaj tyox.
11 No discipline is pleasant at the time; on the contrary, it is painful. But afterwards its fruit is seen in the peacefulness of a righteous life which is the lot of those who have been trained under it.
Qas tzij man kꞌo ta jun pixabꞌ ri qas kaqaj pa ranimaꞌ jun, xane sibꞌalaj kꞌax kanoꞌwik, pune jeriꞌ are kakꞌamawaꞌtajik kuya jaꞌmaril, sukꞌal chike ri xekꞌamawaꞌnik.
12 Therefore ‘lift again the down-dropped hands and straighten the weakened knees;
Rumal bꞌa riꞌ, pune qꞌiꞌtajinaq chi ri iqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri iwaqan, chikꞌamawaꞌj ichuqꞌabꞌ.
13 make straight paths for your feet,’ so that the lame limb may not be put out of joint, but rather be cured.
Chixbꞌinoq pa ri sukꞌ bꞌe, rech ri man kakwin taj kabꞌinik, kutzirik xuqujeꞌ kuchapleꞌj bꞌinem.
14 Try earnestly to live at peace with every one, and to attain to that purity without which no one will see the Lord.
Chixkꞌoloq pa jaꞌmaril kukꞌ konojel ri winaq xuqujeꞌ chinimaj ri Dios rumal cher we man kixnimanik man kiꞌwila ta uwach riꞌ ri Dios.
15 Take care that no one fails to use the loving help of God, ‘that no bitterness is allowed to take root and spring up, and cause trouble,’ and so poison the whole community.
Qas chiwilaꞌ chi man kꞌo ta jun mat kuriq ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ chi man kꞌo ta jun kakꞌiy kachkatem pa ranimaꞌ jeriꞌ man kubꞌan ta kꞌax chike nikꞌaj chik.
16 Take care that no one becomes immoral, or irreligious like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.
Xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta bꞌa jun kubꞌan mak kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ ixoqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ maretzelaj uwach ri Dios jetaq ri xubꞌan ri Esaú, xukꞌayij ri tewechibꞌal re ri unabꞌyaꞌlil cho jun laq urikil.
17 For you know that even afterwards, when he wished to claim his father’s blessing, he was rejected — for he never found an opportunity to repair his error — though he begged for the blessing with tears.
Xuqujeꞌ iwetaꞌm chi ri Esaú xraj chi na xukꞌamawaꞌj we tewechibꞌal riꞌ, man xkꞌamawaꞌx ta chik: Man xya ta chibꞌe che xukꞌex ukꞌuꞌx pune xoqꞌik chutayik ri tewechibꞌal.
18 It is not to tangible ‘flaming fire’ that you have drawn near, nor to ‘gloom, and darkness, and storm,
Ri ix man xixqebꞌ ta chi rilik xuqujeꞌ chuchapik ri juyubꞌ Sinaí chupam ri juyubꞌ riꞌ kꞌo qꞌaqꞌ kajininik, qꞌequꞌmal, qꞌeqmuj, xuqujeꞌ kaqulja.
19 and the blast of a trumpet, and an audible voice.’ Those who heard that voice entreated that they might hear no more,
Xuqujeꞌ xkita ri roqꞌibꞌal ri ukꞌaꞌ, ri uchꞌabꞌal ri Dios, are xuya ri taqanik. Ri xetowik we chꞌabꞌal riꞌ pa ri juyubꞌ Sinaí, xkibꞌochiꞌj rech katanik ri chꞌabꞌal riꞌ.
20 for they could not bear to think of the command — ‘If even an animal touches the mountain, it is to be stoned to death;’
Rumal riꞌ man kꞌo ta jun kaqꞌiꞌow unimaxik ri tajin kabꞌix chike, ri winaq o awaj ri kapaqiꞌ cho ri juyubꞌ che abꞌaj kakamisaxik o kateqꞌ che tzꞌijtzꞌik chꞌichꞌ.
21 and so fearful was the sight that Moses said — ‘I tremble with fear.’
Sibꞌalaj xibꞌibꞌal we jun kꞌutbꞌal riꞌ, rumal riꞌ xubꞌij ri Moisés: Tajin kinbꞌiribꞌat che xibꞌin ibꞌ.
22 No, but it is to Mount Zion that you have drawn near, the City of the Living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to countless hosts of angels,
Ri ix kꞌut xixqebꞌ chuxukut ri juyubꞌ Sión xuqujeꞌ chuxukut ri utinimit ri Dios, ri kꞌaslik chibꞌe qꞌij saq. Ri tinimit riꞌ are Jerusalén ri kꞌo pa ri kaj, chilaꞌ e kꞌo wi sibꞌalaj e kꞌi mil angelibꞌ ri kakiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios.
23 to the festal gathering and assemblage of God’s Eldest Sons whose names are enrolled in Heaven, to God the Judge of all men, to the spirits of the righteous who have attained perfection,
Chilaꞌ e kꞌo wi konojel ri xuꞌkꞌamawaꞌj ri Dios che ralkꞌwaꞌl xuqujeꞌ xuya bꞌe chike kekꞌojiꞌk pa ri kaj, ix kixqebꞌ rukꞌ ri Dios ri kuqꞌat na tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri winaq cho ri uwachulew. Chilaꞌ rukꞌ ri Dios e kꞌo wi ri uxlabꞌal kech ri e sukꞌ taq winaq ri xbꞌan sukꞌ chike rumal ri Dios.
24 to Jesus, the intermediary of a new Covenant, and to the Sprinkled Blood that tells of better things than the blood of Abel.
Ix xixqebꞌ rukꞌ ri Jesús, naꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi xa rumal ri Areꞌ ri Dios xubꞌan jun kꞌakꞌ chꞌekom tzij iwukꞌ ix. Tyox che ri ukikꞌel ri Jesús ri xtixtobꞌik are xkamik xeꞌkuyutaj ri qamak. Rumal kꞌu riꞌ, ri Jesús are nim uqꞌij cho ri Abel, rumal cher ri ukikꞌel ri Abel man kakuyun taj xane are karaj kabꞌan qꞌatoj tzij.
25 Beware how you refuse to hear him who is speaking. For, if the Israelites did not escape punishment, when they refused to listen to him who taught them on earth the divine will, far worse will it be for us, if we turn away from him who is teaching us from Heaven.
Chiwila bꞌa iwibꞌ, miwetzelaj ri uchꞌabꞌal ri Dios rumal cher we man xtoqꞌobꞌisax kiwach ri winaq aꞌj Israel ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew, la are ta kꞌu katoqꞌobꞌisax qawach uj we man kaqato ri chꞌabꞌal upetik pa ri kaj ri kujupixabꞌaj.
26 Then his voice shook the earth, but now his declaration is — ‘Still once more I will cause not only the earth to tremble, but also the heavens.’
Ojer, ri chꞌabꞌal riꞌ xubirirej ri uwachulew, xubꞌij xuqujeꞌ loq: Kinbꞌirirej chi na junmul man xwi ta ri uwachulew, xane ri kaj rachiꞌl ri uwachulew.
27 And those words ‘still once more’ indicate the passing away of all that is shaken — that is, of all created things — in order that only what is unshaken may remain.
Are kubꞌij ri tzij junmul chi na, tajin kubꞌij chi karesaj na bꞌik ri jastaq ri tiktalik, rech jeriꞌ xwi kekanaj kanoq ri jastaq ri man utz taj kesalabꞌaxik. Rech jeriꞌ kaqaqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios jetaq ri kaqaj cho areꞌ, rukꞌ mochꞌochꞌem ibꞌ.
28 Therefore, let us, who have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken, be thankful, and so offer acceptable worship to God, with awe and reverence.
Tyox che ri Dios, ri ajawarem ri kuya ri Dios chaqe man kasalabꞌataj taj. Rumal riꞌ rajawaxik kaqaqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios rukꞌ loqꞌanik xuqujeꞌ kaqaya ri qꞌijilaꞌnik che ri kaqaj choch.
29 For our God is ‘a consuming fire.’
Jeriꞌ, rumal cher ri qaDios are qꞌaqꞌ ri kajaꞌrisanik.
