1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;

Ri Pablo, taqoꞌn rech ri Cristo Jesús rumal ri utaqanik ri Dios qaKolonel xuqujeꞌ ri Cristo ri kuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx.

2 unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Che ri Timoteo ri qas nukꞌojol pa ri kojobꞌal: Are bꞌa ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Cristo Jesús ri Ajawxel, kayoꞌw toqꞌobꞌ, toqꞌobꞌisan wach, xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril chawe.

3 As I exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine,

Are xineꞌ pa Macedonia, xinwoqxaꞌnij kan ubꞌixik chawe chi katkanaj kan pa ri tinimit Éfeso xuqujeꞌ kabꞌij chike ri kakijaluj chi aꞌjtijabꞌ chi ketaniꞌk chukꞌutik ri kꞌutuꞌn ri man utz taj.

4 neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith; [so do I now].

Xuqujeꞌ ketaniꞌ chusikꞌixik ri kꞌulmatajinaq najtir ojer, xuqujeꞌ ri kibꞌiꞌ ri e kitat kinan ojer ri man kakꞌis ta wi. We jastaq riꞌ xaq kuyak chꞌoꞌj, man are ta kuqꞌalajisaj ri uchak ri Dios, ri xa rumal ri kojobꞌal.

5 But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:

Jewaꞌ rajawaxik kibꞌano rech ri loqꞌanik katixtobꞌ loq che jun chꞌajchꞌoj animaꞌaj, che jun utz laj chomanik, xuqujeꞌ che jun qas tzij laj kojobꞌal.

6 from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;

E kꞌi xkijelechꞌuj kan kibꞌe che we noꞌjibꞌal riꞌ, xkiraꞌlij kibꞌ pa taq tzijonem ri maj kutayij.

7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.

Kakijaluj chi aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik, xa kꞌu man ketaꞌm taj xa ta ne kakichꞌobꞌ rij ri kakiqꞌalajisaj.

8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,

Kamik kꞌut qetaꞌm chi utz ri taqanik, we je kabꞌan che ukojik.

9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

Naꞌtaj chaqe chi ri taqanik man xyaꞌtaj kumal ke ri e sukꞌ taq winaq, xane kumal ke ri man keꞌniman taj, xuqujeꞌ kumal ri kꞌax laj taq winaq ri man kakita ta tzij, kumal ke ri itzel taq winaq xuqujeꞌ aꞌjmakibꞌ, kumal ke ri man kemekꞌekꞌ taj xuqujeꞌ ri man kakibꞌan ta ri Tyoxalaj taq jastaq. Ri taqanik xyaꞌik rumal ke ri winaq ri man keꞌkinimaj ta ri e kitat kinan, xuqujeꞌ kumal ke ri kamisanelabꞌ,

10 for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liars, for false swearers, and if there be any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

ri taqanik xyaꞌik kumal ke ri winaq ri kakibꞌan mak kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ, ri achyabꞌ ri kewar kukꞌ achyabꞌ, chike ri e kꞌayil taq patanijelabꞌ, chike ri kakibꞌij chi qas tzij ri kakibꞌij, xaq kꞌu bꞌanoj tzij kakibꞌano. Xaq jeriꞌ, ri taqanik xya rumal ronojel ri kꞌutuꞌn ri man utz taj, ri kuqꞌatej ri utz laj kꞌutuꞌn.

11 according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Are waꞌ ri kukꞌut ri utz laj tzij ri xroqxaꞌnik ri Tyoxalaj Dios, kintzijoj.

12 I thank him that enabled me, [even] Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to [his] service;

Kintyoxin che ri Cristo Jesús ri Ajawxel, are kayoꞌw nuchuqꞌabꞌ, rumal xkubꞌi ukꞌuꞌx chwij xinukoj che patanil rech.

13 though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;

Nabꞌe kanoq in in bꞌanal kꞌax chike ri kojonelabꞌ, in bꞌil taq kꞌax taq tzij che ri Jesús, xuqujeꞌ man kinniman ta che, ri Dios kꞌut xutoqꞌobꞌisaj nuwach, rumal man xinkoj ta ri kubꞌij, xuqujeꞌ maj kan wetaꞌmabꞌal.

14 and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Are kꞌu ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Ajawxel xtixtobꞌ la pa nuwiꞌ, xuqujeꞌ ri kojobꞌal rachiꞌl ri loqꞌanik ri kꞌo pa Cristo Jesús.

15 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

We tzij riꞌ sibꞌalaj kꞌo uqꞌij, xuqujeꞌ yaꞌtalik kakoj kumal konojel ri winaq: Are ri Cristo Jesús xpe choch ri uwachulew che kikolik ri aꞌjmakibꞌ, in in nabꞌe ajmak chike.

16 howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

Qas rumal kꞌu wa, ri Dios xutoqꞌobꞌisaj nuwach, rech kukꞌut ri rutzilal ri Cristo wukꞌ in, sibꞌalaj in kꞌax laj ajmak chikiwach konojel ri winaq. Rech kinux jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chike ri kakikꞌamawaꞌj na jun alik kꞌaslemal rumal ri kekojon na che ri Cristo. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, [be] honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Rumal kꞌu riꞌ, che ri Taqanel ri man kasach ta uwach, ri man kakam taj, xuqujeꞌ man kilitaj ta uwach, ri xa jun Dios, yoꞌq nimal uqꞌij, xuqujeꞌ juluwem chibꞌe qꞌij saq. Jeriꞌ. (aiōn g165)

18 This charge I commit unto thee, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to thee, that by them thou mayest war the good warfare;

Nukꞌojol Timoteo, kurayibꞌej na kꞌuꞌx chi kakubꞌiꞌ akꞌuꞌx chirij we riꞌ, rech kachꞌoꞌjij ri utz laj chꞌoꞌj.

19 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith:

Chatjeqel pa ri akojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri utz laj achomanik. Rumal e kꞌi xeꞌl kanoq pa ri kikojobꞌal rumal man xkitatabꞌej ta ri kichomanik.

20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

Chikixoꞌl we winaq riꞌ e kꞌo ri Himeneo xuqujeꞌ ri Alejandro, are waꞌ xeꞌnjach pa uqꞌabꞌ ri Itzel rech kaketaꞌmaj chi man utz taj retzelaxik ri Dios.
