< 2 Corinthians 1 >

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
Ri Pablo taqoꞌn rech ri Cristo Jesús xa rumal ri urayibꞌal kuꞌx ri Dios, rachiꞌl ri alaxik Timoteo, kakitaq rutzil kiwach konojel ri e kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Corinto pa Acaya:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Are ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Tataxel rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo kiya jaꞌmaril xuqujeꞌ toqꞌobꞌ piꞌwanimaꞌ.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
Qꞌijilaꞌtal ri Dios Tataxel rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, bꞌanal toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ yaꞌl kuꞌlibꞌal kꞌuꞌx.
4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Areꞌ kakubꞌisan qakꞌuꞌx pa ronojel taq ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri kaqariqo, rech jeriꞌ kujkwinik kaqakubꞌisaj kikꞌuꞌx konojel ri kakiriq kꞌax.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
Rumal cher jacha ri unimal ri kꞌaxkꞌolal kaqariqo jeriꞌ xuqujeꞌ na unimal ri kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx kaqariqo.
6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
We uj kaqarik kꞌax, kaqariqo, rech ix kiriq kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx xuqujeꞌ koltajem. We kakubꞌisax qakꞌuꞌx uj, jewaꞌ kabꞌanik rech kakubꞌiꞌ xuqujeꞌ ikꞌuꞌx ix rech kiqꞌiꞌo rukꞌ ayeꞌnik ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri kaqarik uj.
7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.
Kuꞌl qakꞌuꞌx chiꞌwij rumal qetaꞌm chi jacha ri ix ix qachiꞌl pa ri kꞌaxkꞌolal, ix qachiꞌl xuqujeꞌ chuyaꞌik kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx.
8 For we do not desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
Qachalal, man kaqaj taj chi mat kiwetaꞌmaj ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri xqarik pa Asia. Sibꞌalaj xkꞌistaj qakꞌuꞌx, pa qakꞌuꞌx chi man uj kꞌas ta chik kujel la chilaꞌ.
9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
Xqanaꞌo chi jer xqꞌat tzij pa qawiꞌ rech kujkamisaxik. Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmatajik rech makakubꞌiꞌ taj qakꞌuꞌx chibꞌil qibꞌ uj xane kakubꞌiꞌ qakꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios ri kuꞌkꞌastajisaj kaminaqibꞌ.
10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,
Ri Dios xujutoꞌo jeriꞌ man xujkam taj. Chirij areꞌ jeqel wi qakꞌuꞌx, are kujtoꞌwik.
11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.
Ri ix kꞌut chujitoꞌ rukꞌ ri ichꞌawem pa qawiꞌ. Rech jeriꞌ sibꞌalaj e kꞌi ketyoxin che ri Dios rumal ri sipanik ri xyaꞌtaj chaqe rumal xtzalitaj uwach ri qachꞌawem.
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
Are ri qaqꞌalajisanik kayoꞌw kiꞌkotemal chaqe: utz xujnoꞌjin pa ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ iwukꞌ ix, qas rukꞌ rutzil qanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ man rukꞌ ta etzelal, man are ta xqakoj ketaꞌmabꞌal achyabꞌ xane are xqakoj ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios.
13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—
Jeriꞌ rumal cher man tajin ta kaqatzꞌibꞌaj jun jastaq ri mat kisikꞌij uwach xuqujeꞌ ri mat kichꞌobꞌo. Kurayij ri wanimaꞌ chikichomaj ronojel.
14 as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
Iwetaꞌm chik chi utz kinaꞌ nimal rumal qe, xuqujeꞌ uj kaqanaꞌ na nimal rumal iwe pa ri uqꞌijal ri Ajawxel Jesús.
15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,
Rumal riꞌ xwaj xixinsolij ix nabꞌe rech kikꞌamawaꞌj jun ukabꞌ tewechibꞌal.
16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.
Iwumal iwe kinikꞌow bꞌik pa ri tinimit Macedonia, are kineꞌ pa Corinto xuqujeꞌ kinikꞌow chi loq junmul iwukꞌ are kintzalij loq. Rech jeriꞌ kinitoꞌo kintzalij pa ri tinimit Judea.
17 When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”
Are xinbꞌij we riꞌ chibꞌil wibꞌ ¿Teꞌq piꞌkꞌuꞌx chi xaq aninaq xinchomalaꞌ xinbꞌij jeꞌ kinbꞌan we riꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ kinbꞌij chik man kinbꞌan taj?
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
Ri Dios kꞌut retaꞌm chi man nabꞌe taj kaqabꞌij chiꞌwe chi jeꞌ, je laꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ kaqabꞌij man je taj. Ri uj kujtakꞌiꞌ pa qatzij.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”
Rumal cher ri Ukꞌojol ri Dios ri Jesucristo, ri kaqatzijoj in, ri Silvano, xuqujeꞌ ri Timoteo, man kukꞌexmayila taj ribꞌ xane qas takꞌal wi ri kubꞌij.
20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
Rumal cher ronojel ri ubꞌim loq ri Dios tzi je wi riꞌ xuqujeꞌ jeriꞌ pa Cristo, rumal riꞌ kaqabꞌij uj jeriꞌ, rech kaqaqꞌijilaꞌj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios.
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
Are ri Dios kajeqebꞌan qakꞌuꞌx xuqujeꞌ ikꞌuꞌx ix pa Cristo, rumal cher are xujchoꞌwik.
22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
Xukoj qetal pa qanimaꞌ rukꞌ ri Uxlabꞌixel, kꞌutbꞌal rech chi qas tzij kubꞌan na ri ubꞌim loq chaqe.
23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I did not come to Corinth.
Qas cho ri Dios kinbꞌij chi man inbꞌenaq ta pa ri tinimit Corinto rech man kixeꞌn yaja taj.
24 We do not control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
Man xa ta kaqaj kabꞌan qe pa iwiꞌ, xane are kaqaj kujchakun iwukꞌ rumal kaqaj kixqatoꞌo rech kakꞌiy ri ikiꞌkotemal, rumal cher are ri ikojobꞌal kabꞌanow chiꞌwe chi ko kixkꞌojiꞌk.
