< 2 Timoteo 2 >
1 Xaq jeriꞌ nukꞌojol, chakꞌamawaꞌj achuqꞌabꞌ rumal ri toqꞌobꞌ ri kꞌo qukꞌ pa Cristo.
You therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Ri atom, nubꞌim chkiwach e kꞌi winaq, chaꞌtaqchiꞌj ri kojonelabꞌ e kuꞌlibꞌal taq kuꞌx, xuqujeꞌ qas kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal chukꞌutik chkiwach nikꞌaj winaq chik.
And the things that you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be qualified to teach others as well.
3 Chatzijoj ri kꞌax ri qariqom, jeꞌ jas jun ajchꞌoꞌj chajil tinimit, rech ri Cristo.
Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 Maj jun ajchꞌoꞌj chajil tinimit kaqaj choch ri kꞌamal ubꞌe, we are keꞌ ukꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ri jastaq rech ri leꞌaj ri kel wi.
A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.
5 Je xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta jun winaq ri kok pa jun tijoj anim, kukꞌamawaꞌj ri korona we man kunimaj ri kubꞌij ri taqanik rech ri etzꞌanem.
Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules.
6 Ri ajchak ri sibꞌalaj kachakunik yaꞌtal bꞌe che kukꞌamawaꞌj rech nabꞌe, ri yakoj.
The hardworking farmer should be the first to partake of the crops.
7 Qas chachomaj rij we kinbꞌij chawe, ri Ajawxel kꞌut katutoꞌ chuchꞌobꞌik waꞌ we riꞌ.
Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all things.
8 Man kattaniꞌ ta che unaꞌtaxik ri Jesucristo, rijaꞌl ri David, ri xwaꞌjilisax chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ. Are waꞌ ri utz laj taq tzij.
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David, as proclaimed by my gospel,
9 Rumal rech in jatꞌitalik jacha jun bꞌanal kꞌax. Ri utzij ri Dios kꞌut man jatꞌital taj.
for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!
10 Kinkochꞌ kꞌu ronojel ri qꞌoxomal kumal ke ri e chaꞌtalik. Rech xuqujeꞌ koꞌpan pa ri koltajem ri kajuluwik ri maj ukꞌisik, ri yaꞌtal chaqe pa Cristo. (aiōnios )
For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios )
11 Qas tzij wi we tzij riꞌ: We kujkam rukꞌ ri Cristo, kujkꞌasiꞌ xuqujeꞌ na rukꞌ.
This is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
12 We kaqachuqꞌabꞌej, kujtaqan kꞌu na rukꞌ, we kaqabꞌij chi man qetaꞌm ta uwach Areꞌ xuqujeꞌ kubꞌij na chi man retaꞌm ta qawach.
if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;
13 We man kujjeqiꞌ pa ri kaqabꞌij, Areꞌ kajeqiꞌ wi pa ri utzij, man kakwin taj kukꞌekꞌej ribꞌ.
if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
14 Man kattaniꞌ ta che unaꞌtaxik we riꞌ chike ri kojonelabꞌ. Chabꞌij chike man kakiya ta bꞌe che taq ri tzijitzatem ri maj kutayij, rumal xaq xwi kuꞌtukij ri ketowik.
Remind the believers of these things, charging them before God to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin.
15 Chabꞌana ri achuqꞌabꞌ, rech katqaj cho ri Dios, jeꞌ jas jun ajchak ri maj kukꞌixibꞌej, ri kakwinik sukꞌ kuqꞌaxaj ri tzij rech qas tzij.
Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.
16 Chaqꞌila awibꞌ chubꞌixik kꞌi taq tzij ri man tyoxalaj taq tzij taj, rumal ri jewaꞌ kakibꞌano, tajin kenajtin che ri utz laj bꞌe,
But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,
17 xuqujeꞌ ri itzel taq kikꞌutuꞌn tajin kajabꞌunik jer kꞌo jun yabꞌil. Chikixoꞌl we winaq riꞌ e kꞌo ri Himeneo rachiꞌl ri Fileto,
and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18 aꞌre waꞌ ri kiqꞌatom kibꞌ che ri qas tzij. Tajin kakibꞌij chi xkꞌulmataj ri kꞌastajibꞌal kiwach ri kaminaqibꞌ, kakimenkꞌetij kꞌu ri kojobꞌal kech e jujun.
who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some.
19 Pune jewaꞌ kakꞌulmatajik, ri utakꞌalibꞌal ri Dios sibꞌalaj ko kꞌolik, rumal cher kojtal retal rukꞌ we tzꞌibꞌatalik riꞌ: Retaꞌm ri Ajawxel konojel ri e rech. We jun chik riꞌ kubꞌij: Ri winaq ri kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel, chuqꞌila ribꞌ che ri mak.
Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”
20 Pa jun nimalaj ja man xwi ta kꞌo qumubꞌal ri bꞌantal che qꞌana pwaq, xuqujeꞌ saqa pwaq, xane kꞌo xuqujeꞌ bꞌantal che, cheꞌ xuqujeꞌ kꞌo bꞌantal che ulew, kꞌo are kupatanij che ri jastaq ri nim uqꞌij, kꞌo xuqujeꞌ are kakoj che ri jastaq ri man nim ta uqꞌij.
A large house contains not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay. Some indeed are for honorable use, but others are for common use.
21 We kꞌu kꞌo jun kukꞌaslebꞌej jun chꞌajchꞌoj laj kꞌaslemal, kuxik jun jeꞌl laj kꞌolibꞌal, tyoxirisatalik, kꞌo kutayij che ri Ajawxel, xuqujeꞌ kakwinik kubꞌan utz laj taq chak.
So if anyone cleanses himself of what is unfit, he will be a vessel for honor: sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.
22 Chatanimajok choch ri rayinik rech alkꞌaꞌlal, are chabꞌana achuqꞌabꞌ chatereneꞌj ri sukꞌal, ri kojobꞌal, ri loqꞌanik, xuqujeꞌ ri jaꞌmaril, kukꞌ ri kakinaꞌtaj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel rukꞌ jun chꞌajchꞌoj laj animaꞌaj.
Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Man kanim ta awibꞌ pa taq tzijonem ri maj kutayij, awetaꞌm chi chꞌoꞌj kakꞌisbꞌen rech ronojel.
But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling.
24 Xuqujeꞌ maj jun patanil rech ri Ajawxel ri xaq chꞌoꞌj karilij, xane rajawaxik utz kanoꞌjin kukꞌ konojel, kakwinik kuya kꞌutuꞌn, man aninaq taj kayojtajik.
And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing.
25 Xaq jeriꞌ rukꞌ mochꞌochꞌem, chaꞌsukꞌumaj ri e kꞌulel, kuꞌl akꞌuꞌx che ri Dios rech kubꞌan chike chi kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx, rech kaketaꞌmaj ri qas tzij.
He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.
26 Rech kekꞌastajik xuqujeꞌ man keqaj ta pa ri kꞌaꞌmabꞌal jawjeꞌ ri kuꞌtzꞌapij wi ri Itzel, rech kakibꞌan ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx.
Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will.
