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,
I exhort thee, therefore, first of all, that thou present to God supplication, and prayer, and intercession, and thanksgiving, for 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.
for kings and magistrates, that we may dwell in a quiet and tranquil habitation, with all reverence for God, and with purity.
3 Rumal cher sibꞌalaj utz waꞌ we riꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kaqaj cho ri Dios qakolonel.
For this is good and acceptable before God our life-giver;
4 Ri Dios karaj chi konojel kekolotajik, xuqujeꞌ koꞌpan chi retaꞌmaxik ri qas tzij.
who would have all men live, and be converted to the knowledge of the 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 God is one; and the mediator between God and men is one, namely the man Jesus the Messiah;
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 a ransom for every man; a testimony that arrived in due time,
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.
of which I am constituted a herald and legate. I speak the truth, and do not lie, for I am the teacher of the Gentiles in the belief of the 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.
I desire therefore, that men may pray in every place, while they lift up their hands with purity, without wrath, and without disputations.
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.
So also, that women appear in a chaste fashion of dress; and that their adorning be with modesty and chastity; not with curls, or with gold, or with pearls, or with splendid robes;
10 Are kꞌu sibꞌalaj utz kekaꞌyik are kakibꞌan ri utz laj taq chak, jacha ri ixoqibꞌ ri kakiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios.
but with good works, as becometh women who profess reverence for God.
11 Rajawaxik ri ixoq karetaꞌmaj kanimanik rukꞌ jororem.
Let a woman learn in silence, with all submission:
12 Man kinya ta bꞌe che ri ixoq kuya kꞌutuꞌn che ri achi xuqujeꞌ kataqan puꞌwiꞌ xane chutatabꞌej ri kabꞌixik.
for I do not allow a woman to teach, or to be assuming over the man; but let her remain in stillness.
13 Rumal cher are nabꞌe xbꞌan ri Adán, kꞌa te riꞌ ri Eva.
For Adam was first formed, and 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.
And Adam was not seduced, but the woman was seduced and transgressed the command.
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.
Yet she shall live by means of her children, if they continue in the faith, and in love, and in sanctity, and in chastity.
