Titus 3

1 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

Chanaꞌtaj chike chi rajawaxik kakimochꞌ kibꞌ xuqujeꞌ keniman chike ri e qꞌatal taq tzij, amaqꞌel kirayij ubꞌanik ri utza taq chak.

2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.

Man kuya taj kakibꞌij itzel taq jastaq chirij uwiꞌ jun chik, makikoj chꞌoꞌj chikixoꞌl nikꞌaj chik xane utz chenoꞌjinoq, kimochꞌo kibꞌ kukꞌ konojel ri winaq.

3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

Ojer kanoq ri uj xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta qetaꞌmabꞌal, man kujniman taj, uj sachinaq xuqujeꞌ uj kꞌo kan xeꞌ raqan uqꞌabꞌ ri urayinik tyoꞌjal. Uj kꞌo pa ri etzelal xuqujeꞌ kꞌax kaqanaꞌ chike nikꞌaj chik, kaqetzelaj taq qibꞌ.

4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,

Are kꞌut xukꞌut ribꞌ ri rutzilal xuqujeꞌ ri uloqꞌanik ri Dios qaKolonel kukꞌ konojel ri winaq,

5 not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

xujukolo, man rumal ta ri qachak ri qabꞌanom, xane rumal ri utoqꞌobꞌ rukꞌ ri chꞌajik xubꞌan kꞌakꞌ pa ri Uxlabꞌixel,

6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior;

ri xutixixej pa qawiꞌ, rumal ri Jesucristo, ri qaKolonel.

7 that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

Rech kabꞌantaj sukꞌ chaqe rumal ri utoqꞌobꞌ, kujux echaꞌnel, jacha ri kuꞌlibꞌal kꞌuꞌx re ri jun alik kꞌaslemal. (aiōnios g166)

8 This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

We tzij riꞌ qas sukꞌ, kawaj kꞌut chi kakamulij karoxmulij ubꞌixik we jastaq riꞌ, rech ri kojonelabꞌ che ri Dios are kakilij ubꞌanik ri utza taq chak. We jastaq riꞌ sibꞌalaj utz xuqujeꞌ kꞌo kutayij chike ri winaq.

9 but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

Man nim awibꞌ pa taq ri tzijonem ri maj kutayij xuqujeꞌ ri sikꞌin taq kibꞌiꞌ ri atiꞌt mam ri man kꞌo ta keꞌl wi, xuqujeꞌ ri chꞌoꞌj puꞌwiꞌ taq ri taqanik rech ri Moisés jeriꞌ rumal man kꞌo ta choqꞌaqꞌ che, xuqujeꞌ maj rumal kabꞌanik.

10 Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning,

Chapixabꞌaj junmul kamul ri winaq ri kukoj jachoj ibꞌ chikixoꞌl ri alaxik kꞌa te riꞌ chawesaj bꞌik.

11 knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.

Rumal cher waꞌ we winaq riꞌ xok itzel chomanik pa ujolom xuqujeꞌ xuqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ chibꞌil ribꞌ.

12 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.

We chintaq bꞌik ri Artemas awukꞌ o wine are ri Tíquico, chabꞌana toqꞌobꞌ kinaꞌwila pa ri tinimit Nicópolis, rumal cher nuchomam chi chilaꞌ kinwikꞌowisaj wi ri qꞌalaj.

13 Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.

Chabꞌana toqꞌobꞌ chaꞌtoꞌ ri Zenas qꞌaxel tzij re ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ ri Apolos rech maj jas kajawataj chike.

14 Let our people also learn to maintain good works to meet necessary needs, that they may not be unfruitful.

Ri qachiꞌl xuqujeꞌ ketaꞌmaj ubꞌanik ri utz taq chak are kajawatajik, rech jeriꞌ kewachinik.

15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

Konojel ri e kꞌo wukꞌ kakitaq rutzil awach rutzil kiwach konojel ri kujkiloqꞌaj pa ri kojobꞌal. Ri toqꞌobꞌ kakanaj iwukꞌ iwonojel. Jeriꞌ
