2 Pedro 1
1 In waꞌ ri Simón Pedro, in patanijel xuqujeꞌ taqoꞌn rech ri Jesucristo, kintzꞌibꞌaj we wuj riꞌ chike ri kikꞌamawaꞌm jun kojobꞌal ri sibꞌalaj paqal rajil, jetaq ri qe uj, xa rumal ri usukꞌal ri qaDios xuqujeꞌ ri qaKolonel Jesucristo.
Simon Peter, a bondservant and Apostle of Jesus Christ: To those to whom there has been allotted the same precious faith as that which is ours through the righteousness of our God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Chikꞌamawaꞌj nimalaj toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril pa ri retaꞌmabꞌal ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesucristo.
May more and more grace and peace be granted to you in a full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
3 Are ri chikajil ukwinem ri Dios xyoꞌwik ri etaꞌmanik chaqe are xujusikꞌij apanoq pa ri ujeꞌlal ri ujuluwem rech xuya ronojel ri jastaq ri kajawataj chaqe, rech kujkꞌasiꞌk jetaq ri karaj ri areꞌ.
seeing that His divine power has given us all things that are needful for life and godliness, through our knowledge of Him who has appealed to us by His own glorious perfections.
4 Ri Dios xuya chaqe ri paqalik xuqujeꞌ jeꞌl laj taq tzij, rech jeriꞌ kixkwinik kixel loq pa taq ri etzelal ri kꞌo pa ri uwachulew rumal ri itzel taq rayinik, rech jeriꞌ kꞌo iwech che ri kꞌaslemal rech chikajil.
It is by means of these that He has granted us His precious and wondrous promises, in order that through them you may, one and all, become sharers in the very nature of God, having completely escaped the corruption which exists in the world through earthly cravings.
5 Rumal waꞌ rajawaxik kikoj ichuqꞌabꞌ rech xa jeriꞌ kanimar ri ikojobꞌal, chibꞌana utz taq chak rukꞌ ri ikojobꞌal, chibꞌana utz taq chak rukꞌ etaꞌmanik.
But for this very reason--adding, on your part, all earnestness-- along with your faith, manifest also a noble character: along with a noble character, knowledge;
6 Qas chinaꞌ rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal jas ri kibꞌano, chiwilij ubꞌanik ri utzilal rukꞌ ri inaꞌoj, rukꞌ ri inaꞌoj chiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios.
along with knowledge, self-control; along with self-control, power of endurance;
7 Ri irayinik chupatanixik ri Dios, chibꞌana rukꞌ loqꞌanik. Xuqujeꞌ ri irayinik chubꞌanik ri utzilal chibꞌana rukꞌ loqꞌanik.
along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness, brotherly affection; and along with brotherly affection, love.
8 We utz kixnoꞌjinik, kixkꞌiy riꞌ pa ri etaꞌmanik rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo rech jeriꞌ kixux winaq ri kꞌo kitayij.
If these things exist in you, and continually increase, they prevent your being either idle or unfruitful in advancing towards a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Are kꞌu ri winaq ri man utz taj kanoꞌjinik man naj taj kopan wi ri ukaꞌyebꞌal, xsachan che chi xchꞌajchꞌobꞌex che ri najtir taq umak.
For the man in whom they are lacking is blind and cannot see distant objects, in that he has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his old sins.
10 Rumal riꞌ, wachalal, chikojo ichuqꞌabꞌ rech qas kixjeqiꞌk pa ri usikꞌinik ri Dios, ri xixchoꞌwik. We are kibꞌan we jastaq riꞌ man kixtzaq ta wi pa mak.
For this reason, brethren, be all the more in earnest to make sure that God has called you and chosen you; for it is certain that so long as you practise these things, you will never stumble.
11 Kajaqataj na ri uchiꞌ ja rech ri ajawarem rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo qaKolonel, ri maj ukꞌisik. (aiōnios g166)
And so a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be freely granted to you. (aiōnios g166)
12 Rumal riꞌ kinnaꞌtaj wi na chiꞌwe we jastaq riꞌ pune iwetaꞌm chik xuqujeꞌ qas ix jeqel chik pa ri qas tzij.
For this reason I shall always persist in reminding you of these things, although you know them and are stedfast believers in truth which you already possess.
13 Wetaꞌm chi yaꞌtal chwe kinqꞌalajisaj ri utzij ri Dios, rumal cher in kꞌas na.
But I think it right, so long as I remain in the body, my present dwelling-place, to arouse you by such reminders.
14 Rumal kꞌu cher wetaꞌm chi man naj ta chik in kꞌaslik jeriꞌ xukꞌut ri Ajawxel Jesucristo chinuwach.
For I know that the time for me to lay aside my body is now rapidly drawing near, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to me.
15 Kinkoj sibꞌalaj nuchuqꞌabꞌ rech jeriꞌ we kinkamik, kanaꞌtaj na chwe ronojel ri xinbꞌano.
So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure.
16 Man xaq ta bꞌanoj tzij ri xqabꞌij chiꞌwe, are xqatzijoj ri upetibꞌal ri Ajawxel Jesucristo rukꞌ ri ukwinem, man xaq ta xqawok aqꞌanoq xane are xqatzijoj ri nimalaj ukwinem ri qas xqilo.
For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends, but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty.
17 Ri Cristo xya uqꞌij xuqujeꞌ xukꞌamawaꞌj juluwem rumal ri Tataxel Dios xchꞌaw loq pa ri jeꞌl laj ukꞌolibꞌal xubꞌij: “Are waꞌ ri loqꞌalaj nukꞌojol, ri sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkot wanimaꞌ rukꞌ.”
He received honour and glory from God the Father, and out of the wondrous glory words such as these were spoken to Him, "This is My dearly-loved Son, in whom I take delight."
18 Qas uj kꞌo uj rukꞌ ri Jesús are xqata ri chꞌabꞌal ri upetik pa ri kaj, are uj kꞌo puꞌwiꞌ ri tyoxalaj juyubꞌ.
And we ourselves heard these words come from Heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
19 Rukꞌ waꞌ xqꞌalajisax chiqawach ri utz laj tzij ri xkitzijoj ri qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios, ri utz xibꞌan chutatabꞌexik, kajunumataj rukꞌ jun qꞌaqꞌ ri katunan pa ri qꞌequꞌm, kꞌa kuriq na ri qꞌij are kel loq ri qꞌij ri katunanik pa taq iwanimaꞌ.
And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent; to which you do well to pay attention--as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place--until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 Qas naꞌtaj chiꞌwe, chi man kꞌo ta jun qꞌalajisanik tzꞌibꞌatalik pa ri utzij ri Dios ri xaq achi xwokowik.
But, above all, remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet's own prompting;
21 Jeriꞌ, rumal ri uqꞌalajisaxik ri utzij ri Dios man kichomanik taj ri achyabꞌ, xane are ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xqꞌalajisan chikiwach ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios ojer, ri tzij ri rajawaxik katzijoxik.
for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit.
