1 Timoteo 2
1 Xaq jeriꞌ kinchilibꞌej chi nabꞌe na cho ronojel, chibꞌana chꞌawem, tzijonem rukꞌ ri Dios, toj toqꞌobꞌ, xuqujeꞌ tyoxinik, pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri winaq,
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men
2 kenabꞌejisax ri ketaqan pa ri tinimit, xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌatal taq tzij, rech kꞌo jaꞌmaril xuqujeꞌ jororem, xuqujeꞌ rech kaqakꞌaslebꞌej jun utz laj kꞌaslemal nim uqꞌij.
—on behalf of kings and all who are in authority, that we may live a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
3 Rumal cher sibꞌalaj utz waꞌ we riꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kaqaj cho ri Dios qakolonel.
Because this is good and pleasing to our Savior God,
4 Ri Dios karaj chi konojel kekolotajik, xuqujeꞌ koꞌpan chi retaꞌmaxik ri qas tzij.
who desires all men to be saved and to come into a real knowledge of Truth.
5 Rumal cher xa jun ri Dios xuqujeꞌ xa jun riꞌ chꞌawenel cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, areꞌ ri Jesucristo ri achi,
For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men—a man!—Jesus Christ,
6 ri xuya ri ukꞌaslemal chi kikolik konojel ri winaq. Are waꞌ ri qꞌalajisanik ri xuya ri Dios pa ri kꞌyaqal qꞌotaj.
who gave Himself as a ransom on behalf of all people (to be testified in its own seasons),
7 Xubꞌan kꞌu taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij chwe. Qas tzij ri kinbꞌij, man bꞌanoj tzij taq: Ri Dios xubꞌan chwe kinux ajtij ke ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, rech kinkꞌut ri qas tzij rech ri kojobꞌal chkiwach.
to which ransom I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying—a teacher of nations in faith and truth.
8 Kawaj kꞌut chi pa ronojel kꞌolibꞌal konojel ri winaq kakibꞌan chꞌawem kakiyak ri kiqꞌabꞌ chikaj, man rukꞌ ta oyawal xuqujeꞌ man pa chꞌoꞌj taj, xane rukꞌ chꞌajchꞌojalaj animaꞌ.
So I desire that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.
9 Kawaj chi ri ixoqibꞌ utz kakibꞌan che ukojik ri katzꞌyaq jas ri qas taqalik, man kakibꞌananej taj nimal, man kakibꞌan ta xiyoj wi re pispiꞌtal rech kiꞌlitaj chi kumal nikꞌaj winaq, man kakiwiqiqej ta kibꞌ rukꞌ qꞌana pwaq, o rukꞌ taq chachal ri paqal rajil, o rukꞌ ne atzꞌyaq ri sibꞌalaj paqal rajil.
Similarly the women also, dressing themselves in appropriate clothing, with modesty and good sense; not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
10 Are kꞌu sibꞌalaj utz kekaꞌyik are kakibꞌan ri utz laj taq chak, jacha ri ixoqibꞌ ri kakiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios.
but with good works, which is appropriate to women who profess godliness.
11 Rajawaxik ri ixoq karetaꞌmaj kanimanik rukꞌ jororem.
Let a woman learn in silence, in full subordination.
12 Man kinya ta bꞌe che ri ixoq kuya kꞌutuꞌn che ri achi xuqujeꞌ kataqan puꞌwiꞌ xane chutatabꞌej ri kabꞌixik.
I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
13 Rumal cher are nabꞌe xbꞌan ri Adán, kꞌa te riꞌ ri Eva.
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 Xuqujeꞌ man are ta ri Adán ri xtaqchiꞌx pa ri mak, xane are ri ixoq ri xtaqchiꞌtaj pa mak, xtzaq kꞌu pa ri mak.
Also, Adam was not deceived; rather, the woman, being deceived, became a transgressor.
15 Ri ixoq kꞌut kakolotaj na rumal chi are nan, xuqujeꞌ we kukꞌaslebꞌej ri ukꞌaslemal rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal pa ri kojonik, pa loqꞌanik xuqujeꞌ kukꞌaslebꞌej ri tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal.
However, she will be saved through the Childbirth—if they continue in faith, love and holiness, with self-control.
