< Philippians 1 >

1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Timoteo e patanil rech ri Cristo, kakitaq rutzil kiwach konojel ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq ri e kꞌo pa Cristo je laꞌ pa ri tinimit Filipos, kukꞌ ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe xuqujeꞌ ri e patanijelabꞌ.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril chiꞌwe rech ri Dios Tataxel xuqujeꞌ rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo.
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
Kintyoxin che ri Dios are kixnaꞌtaj chwe.
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
Kinbꞌan chꞌawem pa iwiꞌ rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal.
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
Jeriꞌ rumal ixkꞌolinaq loq pa ri utz laj utzij ri Dios xchapleꞌtaj loq are xixkojonik kꞌa pa taq we qꞌij kamik riꞌ.
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Qas uchapom na kꞌuꞌx chi ri majininaq loq ri utz laj chak pa iwanimaꞌ, kutzꞌaqatisaj na kꞌa pa ri qꞌij rech ri upetibꞌal ri Jesucristo.
7 It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
Sibꞌalaj utz we jeriꞌ kinchoman in chiꞌwe, jeriꞌ rumal ix kꞌo pa wanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ kixnaꞌtaj chwe are in kꞌo pa cheꞌ xuqujeꞌ are in kꞌo chikiwach ri qꞌatal taq tzij chuqꞌalajisaxik ri utz laj tzij, iwonojel kꞌo iwe che ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios ri uyaꞌom chwe.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
Rumal cher karil ri Dios chi sibꞌalaj ixnuloqꞌ rukꞌ ri uloqꞌanik ri Cristo Jesús xuqujeꞌ kixinbꞌisoj.
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
Kinta kꞌu pa ri nuchꞌawem chi ri iloqꞌanik, kanimar na pa etaꞌmabꞌal xuqujeꞌ pa noꞌjibꞌal.
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
Rech jeriꞌ are kichaꞌ ri sibꞌalaj utz ubꞌanik, xuqujeꞌ kixux chꞌajchꞌoj, man kꞌo ta imak pa ri upetibꞌal ri Cristo.
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Xuqujeꞌ rech ixnojinaq chubꞌanik ri utzilal rech jeriꞌ kiya unimal uqꞌij xuqujeꞌ bꞌixonem che ri Dios.
12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,
Qachalal, kawaj kiwetaꞌmaj chi ronojel ri xkꞌulmataj wukꞌ xubꞌano chi xnimar utzijoxik ri utz laj tzij.
13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
Qas xqꞌalajinik chikiwach ri e chajil taq rech ri nimalaj ja rech ri qꞌatal tzij xuqujeꞌ chikiwach konojel chi xinkoj pa cheꞌ xa rumal rech ri Cristo.
14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
Tyox chi xintzꞌapiꞌk pa cheꞌ, sibꞌalaj e kꞌi chike ri alaxik ri jeqel kikꞌuꞌx che ri Ajawxel, xkichapleꞌj utzijoxik ri utzij ri Dios man rukꞌ ta xibꞌin ibꞌ.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
E kꞌo jujun kakitzijoj ri Cristo rumal cher kꞌax kakinaꞌ chaqe, e kꞌo chi nikꞌaj xa rumal sibꞌalaj utz kanimaꞌ.
16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
Ri kꞌisbꞌal wok kakitzijoj ri Cristo rumal cher kinkiloqꞌaj, rumal cher ketaꞌm chi in in chaꞌtal apanoq chuqꞌalajisaxik ri utz laj taq tzij.
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
Ri kakitzijoj ri Cristo rumal cher kꞌax kakinaꞌ chwe, man qas ta rukꞌ rutzil kanimaꞌ kakibꞌano, are kakaj katzꞌaqatisax ri kꞌax chwij pa cheꞌ.
18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
¿Jas kꞌu kaqabꞌij? Jas ta bꞌa lo rumal tajin katzijox ri Cristo we kꞌu qas rukꞌ chꞌajchꞌoj animaꞌaj o man rukꞌ ta neꞌ, are waꞌ kayoꞌw nukiꞌkotemal in. Jeꞌ, kinkiꞌkot na rumal rech.
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Rumal cher wetaꞌm chi ri ichꞌawem xuqujeꞌ ri utobꞌanik ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Cristo, are kinesan na bꞌi waral.
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
Ri kurayij na kꞌuꞌx are chi man kel ta nukꞌixibꞌal, xane rukꞌ ronojel kuꞌlibꞌal kꞌuꞌx we kinkamik o kinkꞌasiꞌk, kayaꞌtaj na uqꞌij ri Cristo pa ri nutyoꞌjal.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Rumal cher chwe in ri kꞌaslem are Cristo, ri kamikal chꞌekoj riꞌ.
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.
We xaq jeꞌ kinkꞌasiꞌ na cho we uwachulew, xa kꞌa kꞌo na kintayij riꞌ che ri Dios, man kinriq ta kꞌut jachin chike kinchaꞌo.
23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
Ukobꞌchal we jastaq riꞌ utz chwe, kawaj kineꞌek rukꞌ ri Cristo rumal sibꞌalaj jeꞌlik ri kꞌolem rukꞌ.
24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
Xa kꞌu rumal iwe kinkanaj na kanoq cho ri uwachulew.
25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
Qas uchapom na kꞌuꞌx, wetaꞌm chi kinkꞌojiꞌ na iwukꞌ rech jeriꞌ kintobꞌan rukꞌ ri ikiꞌkotemal xuqujeꞌ pa ri ikojobꞌal.
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
Rech jeriꞌ ri ikiꞌkotemal pa Cristo kanimar na rumal we, are kiwil chinuwach junmul.
27 Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
Xaq xwi kinchilibꞌej chiꞌwe je chixnoꞌjinoq jetaq ri kubꞌij ri utz laj tzij rech ri Cristo, rech pune in kꞌo iwukꞌ o man in kꞌo ta neꞌ, katataj na chi ko ix kꞌolik pa ri uxlabꞌal tajin kikoj ichuqꞌabꞌ pa ri kojobꞌal chutzijoxik ri utz laj tzij.
28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
Makixiꞌj ta iwibꞌ chike ri kakibꞌan kikꞌulel chiꞌwe, rumal cher ri utz laj tzij kubꞌan na chi kasach kiwach we winaq riꞌ, are kꞌu chiꞌwe ix ri utz laj tzij are jun kꞌutbꞌal re ri kolotajem ri kape rukꞌ ri Dios.
29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
Rumal cher ri ix man xwi ta yaꞌtal bꞌe chiꞌwe kixkojon che ri Cristo, xane kiriq xuqujeꞌ kꞌax rumal rech.
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
Rumal tajin kikoj ichuqꞌabꞌ chubꞌanik ri chꞌoꞌj ri xiwilo xinbꞌan ojer xuqujeꞌ tajin kinbꞌan kamik riꞌ.
