2 Timothy 2
1 You then, my child, must be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Xaq jeriꞌ nukꞌojol, chakꞌamawaꞌj achuqꞌabꞌ rumal ri toqꞌobꞌ ri kꞌo qukꞌ pa Cristo.
2 All that you have been taught by me in the hearing of many witnesses, you must hand on to trusty men who shall themselves, in turn, be competent to instruct others also.
Ri atom, nubꞌim chkiwach e kꞌi winaq, chaꞌtaqchiꞌj ri kojonelabꞌ e kuꞌlibꞌal taq kuꞌx, xuqujeꞌ qas kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal chukꞌutik chkiwach nikꞌaj winaq chik.
3 As a good soldier of Christ Jesus accept your share of suffering.
Chatzijoj ri kꞌax ri qariqom, jeꞌ jas jun ajchꞌoꞌj chajil tinimit, rech ri Cristo.
4 Every one who serves as a soldier keeps himself from becoming entangled in the world's business--so that he may satisfy the officer who enlisted him.
Maj jun ajchꞌoꞌj chajil tinimit kaqaj choch ri kꞌamal ubꞌe, we are keꞌ ukꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ri jastaq rech ri leꞌaj ri kel wi.
5 And if any one takes part in an athletic contest, he gets no prize unless he obeys the rules.
Je xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta jun winaq ri kok pa jun tijoj anim, kukꞌamawaꞌj ri korona we man kunimaj ri kubꞌij ri taqanik rech ri etzꞌanem.
6 The harvestman who labours in the field must be the first to get a share of the crop.
Ri ajchak ri sibꞌalaj kachakunik yaꞌtal bꞌe che kukꞌamawaꞌj rech nabꞌe, ri yakoj.
7 Mark well what I am saying: the Lord will give you discernment in everything.
Qas chachomaj rij we kinbꞌij chawe, ri Ajawxel kꞌut katutoꞌ chuchꞌobꞌik waꞌ we riꞌ.
8 Never forget that Jesus Christ has risen from among the dead and is a descendant of David, as is declared in the Good News which I preach.
Man kattaniꞌ ta che unaꞌtaxik ri Jesucristo, rijaꞌl ri David, ri xwaꞌjilisax chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ. Are waꞌ ri utz laj taq tzij.
9 For preaching the Good News I suffer, and am even put in chains, as if I were a criminal: yet the word of God is not imprisoned.
Rumal rech in jatꞌitalik jacha jun bꞌanal kꞌax. Ri utzij ri Dios kꞌut man jatꞌital taj.
10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of God's own people; so that they also may obtain salvation--even the salvation which is in Christ Jesus--and with it eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
Kinkochꞌ kꞌu ronojel ri qꞌoxomal kumal ke ri e chaꞌtalik. Rech xuqujeꞌ koꞌpan pa ri koltajem ri kajuluwik ri maj ukꞌisik, ri yaꞌtal chaqe pa Cristo. (aiōnios g166)
11 Faithful is the saying: "If we died with Him, we shall also live with Him;
Qas tzij wi we tzij riꞌ: We kujkam rukꞌ ri Cristo, kujkꞌasiꞌ xuqujeꞌ na rukꞌ.
12 "If we patiently endure pain, we shall also share His Kingship; "If we disown Him, He will also disown us;
We kaqachuqꞌabꞌej, kujtaqan kꞌu na rukꞌ, we kaqabꞌij chi man qetaꞌm ta uwach Areꞌ xuqujeꞌ kubꞌij na chi man retaꞌm ta qawach.
13 "And even if our faith fails, He remains true--He cannot prove false to Himself."
We man kujjeqiꞌ pa ri kaqabꞌij, Areꞌ kajeqiꞌ wi pa ri utzij, man kakwin taj kukꞌekꞌej ribꞌ.
14 Bring all this to men's remembrances, solemnly charging them in the presence of God not to waste time in wrangling about mere words, a course which is altogether unprofitable and tends only to the ruin of the hearers.
Man kattaniꞌ ta che unaꞌtaxik we riꞌ chike ri kojonelabꞌ. Chabꞌij chike man kakiya ta bꞌe che taq ri tzijitzatem ri maj kutayij, rumal xaq xwi kuꞌtukij ri ketowik.
15 Earnestly seek to commend yourself to God as a servant who, because of his straightforward dealing with the word of truth, has no reason to feel any shame.
Chabꞌana ri achuqꞌabꞌ, rech katqaj cho ri Dios, jeꞌ jas jun ajchak ri maj kukꞌixibꞌej, ri kakwinik sukꞌ kuqꞌaxaj ri tzij rech qas tzij.
16 But from irreligious and frivolous talk hold aloof, for those who indulge in it will proceed from bad to worse in impiety,
Chaqꞌila awibꞌ chubꞌixik kꞌi taq tzij ri man tyoxalaj taq tzij taj, rumal ri jewaꞌ kakibꞌano, tajin kenajtin che ri utz laj bꞌe,
17 and their teaching will spread like a running sore. Hymenaeus and Philetus are men of that stamp.
xuqujeꞌ ri itzel taq kikꞌutuꞌn tajin kajabꞌunik jer kꞌo jun yabꞌil. Chikixoꞌl we winaq riꞌ e kꞌo ri Himeneo rachiꞌl ri Fileto,
18 In the matter of the truth they have gone astray, saying that the Resurrection is already past, and so they are overthrowing the faith of some.
aꞌre waꞌ ri kiqꞌatom kibꞌ che ri qas tzij. Tajin kakibꞌij chi xkꞌulmataj ri kꞌastajibꞌal kiwach ri kaminaqibꞌ, kakimenkꞌetij kꞌu ri kojobꞌal kech e jujun.
19 Yet God's solid foundation stands unmoved, bearing this inscription, "The Lord knows those who really belong to Him." And this also, "Let every one who names the Name of the Lord renounce all wickedness."
Pune jewaꞌ kakꞌulmatajik, ri utakꞌalibꞌal ri Dios sibꞌalaj ko kꞌolik, rumal cher kojtal retal rukꞌ we tzꞌibꞌatalik riꞌ: Retaꞌm ri Ajawxel konojel ri e rech. We jun chik riꞌ kubꞌij: Ri winaq ri kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel, chuqꞌila ribꞌ che ri mak.
20 Now in a great house there are not only articles of gold and silver, but also others of wood and of earthenware; and some are for specially honourable, and others for common use.
Pa jun nimalaj ja man xwi ta kꞌo qumubꞌal ri bꞌantal che qꞌana pwaq, xuqujeꞌ saqa pwaq, xane kꞌo xuqujeꞌ bꞌantal che, cheꞌ xuqujeꞌ kꞌo bꞌantal che ulew, kꞌo are kupatanij che ri jastaq ri nim uqꞌij, kꞌo xuqujeꞌ are kakoj che ri jastaq ri man nim ta uqꞌij.
21 If therefore a man keeps himself clear of these latter, he himself will be for specially honourable use, consecrated, fit for the Master's service, and fully equipped for every good work.
We kꞌu kꞌo jun kukꞌaslebꞌej jun chꞌajchꞌoj laj kꞌaslemal, kuxik jun jeꞌl laj kꞌolibꞌal, tyoxirisatalik, kꞌo kutayij che ri Ajawxel, xuqujeꞌ kakwinik kubꞌan utz laj taq chak.
22 Keep a strong curb, however, on your youthful cravings; and strive for integrity, good faith, love, peace, in company with all who pray to the Lord with pure hearts.
Chatanimajok choch ri rayinik rech alkꞌaꞌlal, are chabꞌana achuqꞌabꞌ chatereneꞌj ri sukꞌal, ri kojobꞌal, ri loqꞌanik, xuqujeꞌ ri jaꞌmaril, kukꞌ ri kakinaꞌtaj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel rukꞌ jun chꞌajchꞌoj laj animaꞌaj.
23 But avoid foolish discussions with ignorant men, knowing--as you do--that these lead to quarrels;
Man kanim ta awibꞌ pa taq tzijonem ri maj kutayij, awetaꞌm chi chꞌoꞌj kakꞌisbꞌen rech ronojel.
24 and a bondservant of the Lord must not quarrel, but must be inoffensive towards all men, a skilful teacher, and patient under wrongs.
Xuqujeꞌ maj jun patanil rech ri Ajawxel ri xaq chꞌoꞌj karilij, xane rajawaxik utz kanoꞌjin kukꞌ konojel, kakwinik kuya kꞌutuꞌn, man aninaq taj kayojtajik.
25 He must speak in a gentle tone when correcting the errors of opponents, in the hope that God will at last give them repentance, for them to come to a full knowledge of the truth
Xaq jeriꞌ rukꞌ mochꞌochꞌem, chaꞌsukꞌumaj ri e kꞌulel, kuꞌl akꞌuꞌx che ri Dios rech kubꞌan chike chi kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx, rech kaketaꞌmaj ri qas tzij.
26 and recover sober-mindedness and freedom from the Devil's snare, though they are now entrapped by him to do his will.
Rech kekꞌastajik xuqujeꞌ man keqaj ta pa ri kꞌaꞌmabꞌal jawjeꞌ ri kuꞌtzꞌapij wi ri Itzel, rech kakibꞌan ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx.
