1 Tesalonicenses 2
1 Qachalal, ix iwetaꞌm chi qas kꞌo xupatanij ri solinik ri xqabꞌan iwukꞌ.
For you yourselves know, brothers, that our acceptance among you was not empty.
2 Xuqujeꞌ iwetaꞌm chi pune xbꞌan kꞌax chaqe je laꞌ pa ri tinimit Filipos, xqakꞌamawaꞌj qachuqꞌabꞌ pa Dios rumal riꞌ xqatzijoj ri utz laj tzij chiꞌwe.
Instead, having previously suffered and been treated shamefully, as you know, at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, so as to speak the Gospel of God to you with much solicitude.
3 Xuqujeꞌ are xqatzijoj ri utz laj tzij chiꞌwe, xqabꞌij ri qas tzij, are xqaj xqabꞌan ri utzilal iwukꞌ, man are ta xqaj xqasubꞌ jachinaq.
For our exhortation was not in error, nor from impurity, nor with deception.
4 Xane qas are ri Dios xchilibꞌen chaqe we utz laj tzij riꞌ, are waꞌ ri kaqaj kaqabꞌano. Man are ta kaqaj kujqaj cho jachinaq chik xane xwi kaqaj kujqaj cho ri Dios rumal are etaꞌmaninaq ri kaqanaꞌo xuqujeꞌ ri kaqachomaj.
But, just as we have been tested by God, so that the Gospel would be entrusted to us, so also did we speak, not so as to please men, but rather to please God, who tests our hearts.
5 Ri ix qas iwetaꞌm chi man xqabꞌij ta jun jastaq chiꞌwe xaq xwi rech kixqamenkꞌetij xuqujeꞌ rech kixqasubꞌu rech kaqachꞌek pwaq chiꞌwij. Ri Dios retaꞌm we jastaq riꞌ.
And neither did we, at any time, become flattering in speech, as you know, nor did we seek an opportunity for avarice, as God is witness.
6 Man are ta kaqaj chi nim kujiwilo o rech nim kujkil nikꞌaj winaq chik.
Nor did we seek the glory of men, neither from you, nor from others.
7 Man je ta xujnoꞌjin iwukꞌ jetaq ri taqal chaqe rumal cher uj, uj taqoꞌn rech ri Cristo, man xqata ta chiꞌwe ri kajawataj chaqe, xane je xujnoꞌjin iwukꞌ jetaq kanoꞌjin jun ixoq are kuꞌtubꞌisaj ri ral.
And although we could have been a burden to you, as Apostles of Christ, instead we became like little ones in your midst, like a nurse cherishing her children.
8 Xaq jeriꞌ rumal ri loqꞌanik ri kꞌo pa qanimaꞌ chiꞌwe kujkiꞌkotik man xwi ta rumal kaqatzijoj ri utz laj tzij rech ri Dios chiꞌwe xane we ta xujkwinik xqaya ta xuqujeꞌ riꞌ ri qakꞌaslemal rumal iwe.
So desirous were we for you that we were willing to hand over to you, not only the Gospel of God, but even our own souls. For you have become most beloved to us.
9 Wachalal, kanaꞌtaj riꞌ chiꞌwe chi rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ kꞌax xqatzijoj chiꞌwe ri utz laj tzij rech ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ xujchakun iwukꞌ chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ rech man xujux taj jun eqaꞌn chiꞌwe.
For you remember, brothers, our hardship and weariness. We preached the Gospel of God among you, working night and day, so that we would not be burdensome to any of you.
10 Ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri ix qas xiwilo chi qas je xujnoꞌjin kojonelabꞌ iwukꞌ pa jun tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal, sukꞌ xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj chꞌajchꞌoj.
You are witnesses, as is God, of how holy and just and blameless we were with you who have believed.
11 Qas iwetaꞌm chi qas je qabꞌanom chiꞌwilik jetaq kubꞌan jun tat chike ri e ralkꞌwaꞌl.
And you know the manner, with each one of you, like a father with his sons,
12 Xuqujeꞌ xqakoj qachuqꞌabꞌ chiꞌtaqchiꞌxik xuqujeꞌ chukubꞌisaxik ikꞌuꞌx rech kikꞌaslebꞌej jun jeꞌlik laj kꞌaslemal cho ri Dios. Areꞌ ix sikꞌininaq apanoq pa ri rajawarem xuqujeꞌ pa ri ujuluwem.
in which we were pleading with you and consoling you, bearing witness, so that you would walk in a manner worthy of God, who has called you into his kingdom and glory.
13 Xaq jeriꞌ man kujtaniꞌ taj chuyaꞌik tyoxinik che ri Dios jeriꞌ rumal kaqato chi xikꞌamawaꞌj ri utzij ri Dios ri xqatzijoj xuqujeꞌ man xikꞌamawaꞌj taj jacha ri utzij ri winaq xane are utzij ri Dios, are kꞌu waꞌ we tzij riꞌ kachakun pa taq kanimaꞌ ri e kojonelabꞌ.
For this reason also, we give thanks to God without ceasing: because, when you had accepted from us the Word of the hearing of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but (as it truly is) as the Word of God, who is working in you who have believed.
14 Jeriꞌ qachalal, ri ix are xitereneꞌj ri xkikꞌut ri ukomontyox ri Dios pa Cristo Jesús chiꞌwach ri e kꞌo pa Judea, rumal aꞌreꞌ xiriq kꞌax pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri iwinaq jacha ri kꞌax ri xkiriq we e komontyox riꞌ pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
For you, brothers, have become imitators of the churches of God which are at Judea, in Christ Jesus. For you, too, have suffered the same things from your fellow countrymen as they have suffered from the Jews,
15 Are ri winaq aꞌj Israel xekamisan bꞌik ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij, are kꞌu ri uj xujkesaj loq. Man kaqaj ta ri kinoꞌjibꞌal cho ri Dios, sibꞌalaj itzel kenoꞌjin kukꞌ konojel ri winaq.
who also killed both the Lord Jesus, and the Prophets, and who have persecuted us. But they do not please God, and so they are adversaries to all men.
16 Jeriꞌ rumal are kakaj kujkiqꞌatej rech man kaqatzijoj ta ri utzij ri Dios chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj rech kekolotajik. Tajin kakitzꞌaqatisaj ri mak chikij rukꞌ ri tajin kakibꞌano. Kape kꞌu na ri nimalaj uqꞌatoj tzij ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ.
They prohibit us to speak to the Gentiles, so that they may be saved, and thus do they continually add to their own sins. But the wrath of God will overtake them in the very end.
17 Are kꞌu ri uj qachalal, pune man xujkꞌojiꞌ iwukꞌ jun janipa qꞌotaj, ri qanimaꞌ kꞌo iwukꞌ, kaqakoj qachuqꞌabꞌ rech jun qꞌijal kixqasolij.
And we, brothers, having been deprived of you for a short time, in sight, but not in heart, have hurried all the more to see your face, with a great desire.
18 Qas kurayij ri qanimaꞌ kixqasolij, are kꞌu ri in in Pablo, kꞌi mul xinuqꞌatej ri itzel, rumal riꞌ man inbꞌenaq taj.
For we wanted to come to you, (indeed, I, Paul, attempted to do so once, and then again, ) but Satan impeded us.
19 Jeriꞌ rumal ¿jas kꞌu riꞌ ri kꞌulibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx, ri qakiꞌkotemal xuqujeꞌ ri rumal kaqanaꞌ nimal pa ri upetibꞌal ri Ajawxel? ¿La man kꞌu ix riꞌ ri kixqakꞌut cho ri Ajawxel?
For what is our hope, and our joy, and our crown of glory? Is it not you, before our Lord Jesus Christ at his return?
20 Jeꞌ, ix riꞌ ri ix qakiꞌkotemal xuqujeꞌ rumal iwe kaqanaꞌ nimal.
For you are our glory and our joy.
