2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth, and to all the believers in the entire region of Achaia.
Ri Pablo taqoꞌn rech ri Cristo Jesús xa rumal ri urayibꞌal kuꞌx ri Dios, rachiꞌl ri alaxik Timoteo, kakitaq rutzil kiwach konojel ri e kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Corinto pa Acaya:
2 May grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Are ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Tataxel rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo kiya jaꞌmaril xuqujeꞌ toqꞌobꞌ piꞌwanimaꞌ.
3 May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised. He is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.
Qꞌijilaꞌtal ri Dios Tataxel rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, bꞌanal toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ yaꞌl kuꞌlibꞌal kꞌuꞌx.
4 God comforts us in all our affliction, so that we can comfort those who are in any affliction. We comfort others with the same comfort that God used to comfort us.
Areꞌ kakubꞌisan qakꞌuꞌx pa ronojel taq ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri kaqariqo, rech jeriꞌ kujkwinik kaqakubꞌisaj kikꞌuꞌx konojel ri kakiriq kꞌax.
5 For just as the sufferings of Christ abound for our sake, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
Rumal cher jacha ri unimal ri kꞌaxkꞌolal kaqariqo jeriꞌ xuqujeꞌ na unimal ri kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx kaqariqo.
6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort. Your comfort is working effectively when you patiently share in the same sufferings that we also suffer.
We uj kaqarik kꞌax, kaqariqo, rech ix kiriq kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx xuqujeꞌ koltajem. We kakubꞌisax qakꞌuꞌx uj, jewaꞌ kabꞌanik rech kakubꞌiꞌ xuqujeꞌ ikꞌuꞌx ix rech kiqꞌiꞌo rukꞌ ayeꞌnik ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri kaqarik uj.
7 Our expectation concerning you is unshaken, for we know that as you share the sufferings, you also share our comfort.
Kuꞌl qakꞌuꞌx chiꞌwij rumal qetaꞌm chi jacha ri ix ix qachiꞌl pa ri kꞌaxkꞌolal, ix qachiꞌl xuqujeꞌ chuyaꞌik kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx.
8 For we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the troubles we had in Asia. We were so completely crushed beyond our strength that we despaired even of life.
Qachalal, man kaqaj taj chi mat kiwetaꞌmaj ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri xqarik pa Asia. Sibꞌalaj xkꞌistaj qakꞌuꞌx, pa qakꞌuꞌx chi man uj kꞌas ta chik kujel la chilaꞌ.
9 Indeed, we had the sentence of death on us. But that was to make us not put our trust in ourselves, but instead in God, who raises the dead.
Xqanaꞌo chi jer xqꞌat tzij pa qawiꞌ rech kujkamisaxik. Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmatajik rech makakubꞌiꞌ taj qakꞌuꞌx chibꞌil qibꞌ uj xane kakubꞌiꞌ qakꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios ri kuꞌkꞌastajisaj kaminaqibꞌ.
10 He rescued us from such a deadly peril, and he will rescue us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us.
Ri Dios xujutoꞌo jeriꞌ man xujkam taj. Chirij areꞌ jeqel wi qakꞌuꞌx, are kujtoꞌwik.
11 He will do this as you also help us by your prayer. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor given to us through the prayers of many.
Ri ix kꞌut chujitoꞌ rukꞌ ri ichꞌawem pa qawiꞌ. Rech jeriꞌ sibꞌalaj e kꞌi ketyoxin che ri Dios rumal ri sipanik ri xyaꞌtaj chaqe rumal xtzalitaj uwach ri qachꞌawem.
12 We are proud of this: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world with holiness and godly sincerity, not relying on fleshly wisdom but on the grace of God.
Are ri qaqꞌalajisanik kayoꞌw kiꞌkotemal chaqe: utz xujnoꞌjin pa ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ iwukꞌ ix, qas rukꞌ rutzil qanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ man rukꞌ ta etzelal, man are ta xqakoj ketaꞌmabꞌal achyabꞌ xane are xqakoj ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios.
13 We write to you nothing that you cannot read and understand. I expect that,
Jeriꞌ rumal cher man tajin ta kaqatzꞌibꞌaj jun jastaq ri mat kisikꞌij uwach xuqujeꞌ ri mat kichꞌobꞌo. Kurayij ri wanimaꞌ chikichomaj ronojel.
14 as you have understood us in part, we will be your reason for boasting on the day of our Lord Jesus, just as you will be our reason to boast.
Iwetaꞌm chik chi utz kinaꞌ nimal rumal qe, xuqujeꞌ uj kaqanaꞌ na nimal rumal iwe pa ri uqꞌijal ri Ajawxel Jesús.
15 Because I was confident about this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might receive the benefit of two visits.
Rumal riꞌ xwaj xixinsolij ix nabꞌe rech kikꞌamawaꞌj jun ukabꞌ tewechibꞌal.
16 I was planning to visit you on my way to Macedonia. Then I wanted to visit you again on my trip from Macedonia, and then for you to send me on my way to Judea.
Iwumal iwe kinikꞌow bꞌik pa ri tinimit Macedonia, are kineꞌ pa Corinto xuqujeꞌ kinikꞌow chi loq junmul iwukꞌ are kintzalij loq. Rech jeriꞌ kinitoꞌo kintzalij pa ri tinimit Judea.
17 When I was thinking this way, was I hesitating? Do I plan things according to human standards, so that I say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?
Are xinbꞌij we riꞌ chibꞌil wibꞌ ¿Teꞌq piꞌkꞌuꞌx chi xaq aninaq xinchomalaꞌ xinbꞌij jeꞌ kinbꞌan we riꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ kinbꞌij chik man kinbꞌan taj?
18 But just as God is faithful, we do not say both “Yes” and “No.”
Ri Dios kꞌut retaꞌm chi man nabꞌe taj kaqabꞌij chiꞌwe chi jeꞌ, je laꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ kaqabꞌij man je taj. Ri uj kujtakꞌiꞌ pa qatzij.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom Silvanus, Timothy and I proclaimed among you, is not “Yes” and “No.” Instead, he is always “Yes.”
Rumal cher ri Ukꞌojol ri Dios ri Jesucristo, ri kaqatzijoj in, ri Silvano, xuqujeꞌ ri Timoteo, man kukꞌexmayila taj ribꞌ xane qas takꞌal wi ri kubꞌij.
20 For all the promises of God are “Yes” in him. So also through him we say “Amen” to the glory of God.
Rumal cher ronojel ri ubꞌim loq ri Dios tzi je wi riꞌ xuqujeꞌ jeriꞌ pa Cristo, rumal riꞌ kaqabꞌij uj jeriꞌ, rech kaqaqꞌijilaꞌj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios.
21 Now it is God who confirms us with you in Christ, and he appointed us,
Are ri Dios kajeqebꞌan qakꞌuꞌx xuqujeꞌ ikꞌuꞌx ix pa Cristo, rumal cher are xujchoꞌwik.
22 he set his seal on us and he gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee of what is to come.
Xukoj qetal pa qanimaꞌ rukꞌ ri Uxlabꞌixel, kꞌutbꞌal rech chi qas tzij kubꞌan na ri ubꞌim loq chaqe.
23 Instead, I call God to bear witness for me that the reason I did not come to Corinth was so that I might spare you.
Qas cho ri Dios kinbꞌij chi man inbꞌenaq ta pa ri tinimit Corinto rech man kixeꞌn yaja taj.
24 This is not because we are trying to control what your faith should be. Instead, we are working with you for your joy, as you stand in your faith.
Man xa ta kaqaj kabꞌan qe pa iwiꞌ, xane are kaqaj kujchakun iwukꞌ rumal kaqaj kixqatoꞌo rech kakꞌiy ri ikiꞌkotemal, rumal cher are ri ikojobꞌal kabꞌanow chiꞌwe chi ko kixkꞌojiꞌk.
