< 1 Corinthians 4 >

1 Let a man so reckon us as officers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God,
Xaq jeriꞌ chichꞌobꞌo bꞌa chi uj patanil rech ri Cristo, xuqujeꞌ uj kujilowik jas kabꞌan chukojik ri jastaq rech ri Dios ri man etaꞌmatal ta loq nabꞌe.
2 and as to the rest, it is required in the stewards that one may be found faithful,
Rajawaxik chi ri e chajil taq rech ri ujastaq ri Dios kikꞌutuꞌ chi qas e kꞌulibꞌal kuꞌx.
3 and to me it is for a very little thing that by you I may be judged, or by man's day, but not even myself do I judge,
Ri in kꞌut man kakꞌaxir ta wanimaꞌ we kiqꞌat tzij pa nuwiꞌ o xapachin ne chike ri e qꞌatal taj tzij rech ri uwachulew kaqꞌatow tzij pa nuwiꞌ. Qas tzij man ne kinqꞌat ta tzij pa nuwiꞌ in.
4 for of nothing to myself have I been conscious, but not in this have I been declared right — and he who is discerning me is the Lord:
Pune man in ajmak taj kinnaꞌo, man are ta riꞌ kakꞌutuwik chi maj numak, are ri Ajawxel kaqꞌatow na tzij pa nuwiꞌ.
5 so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.
Xaq jeriꞌ, miqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ jachinaq peta na ri Ajawxel, areꞌ kaqꞌalajisan na cho ri tunal ri katunanik ri awatalik pa ri qꞌequꞌmal xuqujeꞌ kukꞌut na jastaq ri kꞌo pa taq ri animaꞌaj. Jeriꞌ kayaꞌtaj na che jun ri kataqiꞌ che, rumal ri Dios.
6 And these things, brethren, I did transfer to myself and to Apollos because of you, that in us ye may learn not to think above that which hath been written, that ye may not be puffed up one for one against the other,
Qachalal, ronojel we kinbꞌij chiꞌwe nuchakubꞌem in, xuqujeꞌ je ubꞌanom ri Apolos jeriꞌ kujkwinik kixqatoꞌo, rech kiwetaꞌmaj chi man kibꞌan ta chi jun jastaq we man are ri tzꞌibꞌatalik. Rech maj jun kunaꞌ nimal cho jun chik.
7 for who doth make thee to differ? and what hast thou, that thou didst not receive? and if thou didst also receive, why dost thou glory as not having received?
¿Jachin kabꞌin chawe chi man katjunumataj ta kukꞌ nikꞌaj chik? ¿Jas kꞌo awukꞌ ri man xa ta xakꞌamawaꞌj chi che jun? We xa xakꞌamawaꞌj, ¿jas kꞌu che kabꞌano chi jer ta ne man xa ta xya chawe?
8 Already ye are having been filled, already ye were rich, apart from us ye did reign, and I would also ye did reign, that we also with you may reign together,
Xyaꞌtaj chiꞌwe ronojel ri karaj ri iwanimaꞌ, xixqꞌinomarik, xixux taqanelabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, man uj iwachiꞌl ta kꞌu uj. Kꞌo ta bꞌa ne wi qas ix taqanelabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ nikꞌaj chik rech jeriꞌ kujtaqan iwukꞌ.
9 for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last — as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men;
Ri kinchꞌobꞌ in chirij we jastaq riꞌ are chi ri Dios xubꞌan chaqe uj ri uj taqoꞌn kujkanaj kan pa ri kꞌisbꞌal kꞌolibꞌal, jetaq ri kabꞌan chike ri kekamisaxik. Xujkoj che kꞌutbꞌal chikiwach ronojel ri jastaq ri e tiktalik, chikiwach ri angelibꞌ xuqujeꞌ chikiwach ri achyabꞌ.
10 we [are] fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we [are] ailing, and ye strong; ye glorious, and we dishonoured;
Xa rumal rech ri Cristo ri uj maj qetaꞌmabꞌal. Ri ix kꞌut kꞌo iwetaꞌmabꞌal pa Cristo. Uj riꞌ ri man kꞌo ta qachuqꞌabꞌ. Ri ix kixloqꞌaxik are kꞌu ri uj ketzelax qawach.
11 unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander about,
Kamik kaqanaꞌ numik, chaqij chiꞌ, maj qatzꞌyaq, kabꞌan kꞌax chaqe, man kꞌo ta qachoch jawjeꞌ kujkꞌojiꞌ wi.
12 and labour, working with [our] own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer;
Rukꞌ we qaqꞌabꞌ kaqakamisaj qibꞌ che chak, uj keꞌqatewechiꞌj ri winaq pune kꞌax taq tzij kakibꞌij chaqe, kaqakochꞌo pune kujtzukuxik rech kabꞌan kꞌax chaqe.
13 being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become — of all things an offscouring — till now.
Utz kaqabꞌan chi kichꞌabꞌexik ri winaq pune kakibꞌan bꞌanoj tzij chaqij xuqujeꞌ kakibꞌij pa taq we qꞌij kamik riꞌ chi uj ri kujchꞌulujin ri uwachulew, man kꞌo ta qapatan.
14 Not [as] putting you to shame do I write these things, but as my beloved children I do admonish,
Makintzꞌibꞌaj ta we riꞌ chiꞌwe rech kixinya pa ikꞌixibꞌal, xane rech kixinpixibꞌaj apanoq jer ta ne ix kꞌo loqꞌalaj taq walkꞌwaꞌl.
15 for if a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good news, I — I did beget you;
Pune e kꞌo sibꞌalaj e kꞌi mil winaq ri kakibꞌij ri usukꞌumal ri Cristo chiꞌwe, wetaꞌm chi man e kꞌi taj iꞌtat e kꞌolik, jeriꞌ rumal in in itat pa Cristo Jesús rumal cher in xintzijon ri Cristo chiꞌwe.
16 I call upon you, therefore, become ye followers of me;
Rumal riꞌ kixinbꞌochiꞌj rech kiwesaj uwach ri tajin kinbꞌano.
17 because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I teach.
Rumal waꞌ xintaq bꞌik ri Timoteo iwukꞌ, loqꞌalaj nukꞌojol pa ri Ajawxel Jesús, rech jeriꞌ kunaꞌtaj chiꞌwe jas jeꞌ ri kinnoꞌjin in pa Cristo, are waꞌ rajawaxik kaya ukꞌutik pa taq ri komontyox.
18 And as if I were not coming unto you certain were puffed up;
Kamik kꞌut e kꞌo jujun chiꞌwe ri kakibꞌan nimal, pa kikꞌuꞌx riꞌ chi man kixeꞌnsolij taj.
19 but I will come quickly unto you, if the Lord may will, and I will know not the word of those puffed up, but the power;
Qas tzij wiꞌ we karaj ri Dios, kixeꞌnsolij na, keꞌqil kꞌu na riꞌ ri winaq, man xaq xwi ta jas kakibꞌano are ketzijonik xane janipa unimal ri kikwinem kꞌolik, jas che ri kakibꞌan nimal.
20 for not in word is the reign of God, but in power?
Jeriꞌ, rumal ri rajawarem ri Dios man are ta kakꞌutuwik janipa tzij kubꞌij jun xane janipa ukwinem kꞌolik.
21 what do ye wish? with a rod shall I come unto you, or in love, with a spirit also of meekness?
¿Jas kꞌu kiwaj? ¿La are kꞌu kiwaj kinkꞌam bꞌik cheꞌyabꞌal o are kiwaj kinkꞌam bꞌik loqꞌanik xuqujeꞌ jun uxlabꞌal ri kajororik?
