1 Corinthians 2
1 My fellow believers, when I came to you, I proclaimed to you the message that God had revealed to me. But I did not proclaim it using eloquent words that would make people think highly of me, nor did I argue in a way that unbelievers would think was very wise.
Xaq jeriꞌ wachalal, are xeꞌntzijoj ri uqꞌalajisanik ri Dios chiꞌwe, man xintzijoj ta chiꞌwe rukꞌ taq qꞌajajem tzij xuqujeꞌ man rukꞌ ta tzij ri kꞌax uchꞌobꞌik.
2 I did that because I decided that I would speak only about Jesus Christ. Specifically, I told you [what he accomplished for us when] he was killed by being nailed {[when they] killed him by nailing him} to a cross.
Man xraj ta na kꞌuꞌx xintzijoj jun jastaq chik chiꞌwe are xinkꞌojiꞌ chiꞌxoꞌl, xane xwi xwaj xinqꞌalajisaj ri Cristo ri xripik.
3 Furthermore, when I was with you, I felt that I was not adequate [to do what Christ wanted me to do]. I was afraid [that I would not be able to do it], and because of that I was trembling very much.
Man kꞌo ta nuchuqꞌabꞌ are xinkꞌojiꞌ chiꞌxoꞌl, xinbꞌiribꞌat che xibꞌin ibꞌ xuqujeꞌ mochꞌochꞌem.
4 When I taught you and preached to you, I did not speak words that [unbelievers would consider] [IRO] wise in order to convince them that my message was true. Instead, [God’s] Spirit showed that it was true by [enabling me to] powerfully [perform miracles].
Xuqujeꞌ man xintzijoj ta ri utzij ri Dios chiꞌwe rukꞌ menkꞌetibꞌal taq kitzij achyabꞌ xane rukꞌ ri ukꞌutuꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri ukwinem ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
5 [I taught and preached that way] in order that you might believe [my message], not because you heard words that people [considered to be] [IRO] wise, but [because you recognized] God’s power.
Jeriꞌ rech ri ikojobꞌal man kajeqiꞌ taj chirij ri ketaꞌmabꞌal ri winaq, xane pa ri ukwinem ri Dios.
6 I do teach a message that people who are [spiritually] mature [consider to] be wise. But I do not teach a message that unbelievers [consider to be] wise. I also do not teach a message that unbelieving rulers in the world consider to be wise. [What they think about it does not matter], because [some day] (they will lose their power/not be ruling any more). (aiōn g165)
Pune jeriꞌ, kujtzijon kꞌu rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal kukꞌ ri e ko chik pa Cristo, man rukꞌ ta kꞌu etaꞌmabꞌal kech winaq rech we uwachulew xuqujeꞌ man rukꞌ ta etaꞌmabꞌal kech ri e taqanelabꞌ ri kasach na kiwach. (aiōn g165)
7 Instead, I teach about what God planned wisely [long ago]. It is something that people did not know about previously because [God] did not reveal it previously. But God determined before he created the world that he would greatly benefit us by his wise plan. (aiōn g165)
Xane kaqakꞌut ri jastaq ri awatal loq rech ri retaꞌmabꞌal ri Dios, jun etaꞌmabꞌal ri awatal loq xuqujeꞌ utzujum loq ri Dios chaqe ojer uloq. (aiōn g165)
8 None of those who rule this world knew that wise plan. If they had known it, they would not have nailed our wonderful Lord to the cross. (aiōn g165)
Man kꞌo ta jun chike ri e taqanelabꞌ rech ri uwachulew xchꞌobꞌowik, rumal cher we ta xkichꞌobꞌo mat xkirip riꞌ ri Ajawxel rech juluwem. (aiōn g165)
9 But [we believers need to remember these words that a prophet] wrote [in the Scriptures]: Things that no one has ever seen, things that no one ever heard, things that no one ever thought could happen, those are the things that God has prepared for those who love him.
Xane jacha ri tzꞌibꞌatalik: Maj jun ilowinaq, xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta jun towinaq, man kꞌo ta jun chomabꞌal chꞌobꞌowinaq ri usukꞌumam apanoq ri Dios chike ri kakiloqꞌaj.
10 God has caused his Spirit to reveal those things to us [(inc)] believers. His Spirit can do that because he knows thoroughly the meaning of all things. He even knows the things about God that are very difficult to understand.
Chanim kꞌut, ri Dios xukꞌut waꞌ we riꞌ chiqawach rumal ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel, rumal cher ri Uxlabꞌixel kusolij rij ronojel pune are ri kꞌo pa ranimaꞌ ri Dios.
11 Only a person himself (OR, a person’s spirit) knows what he is thinking. Similarly, only God’s Spirit knows what God is thinking.
Qas tzij wi, rumal ¿jachin etaꞌmaninaq ri uchomanik ri winaq we man are ri ruxlabꞌal ri kꞌo pa areꞌ? Man kꞌo ta jun etaꞌmaninaq ri uchomanik ri Dios xane xaq xwi ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
12 It was not the ideas that unbelievers teach that we accepted. Instead, it was the Spirit who came from God that we received, in order that we might know the things that God has freely done for us.
Uj man are ta qakꞌamawaꞌm ri uxlabꞌal rech ri uwachulew, xane are ri Uxlabꞌixel ri petinaq che ri Dios, rech jeriꞌ kaqachomaj ri xuya chaqe pa ri utoqꞌobꞌ.
13 Those are the things that I tell you about. As I do that, I do not tell you things that someone [whom others thought] was [IRO] wise taught me. Instead, I tell you truths that [God’s] Spirit taught [me], and I explain those spiritual truths to people whose thinking is guided by God’s Spirit (OR, I teach spiritual [truths to] spiritual [people]).
Are waꞌ ri kaqatzijoj rij, man kaqabꞌij ta kꞌut rukꞌ tzij kech achyabꞌ ri kꞌax uchomaxik, xane kaqaya ukꞌutik rukꞌ utzij ri Uxlabꞌixel, xaq jeriꞌ kaqabꞌij ri qas tzij rech ri Uxlabꞌixel pa utzijobꞌal ri Uxlabꞌixel.
14 Those who are unbelievers reject the truths that [God’s] Spirit teaches us [(inc)], because they [consider those truths to be] foolish. They cannot understand them, because it is God’s Spirit who enables us to evaluate those truths correctly, [and those people do not have God’s Spirit].
Ri winaq ri man kꞌo ta ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel pa ranimaꞌ man kukꞌamawaꞌj ta ri kape che ri Dios, rumal ri xaq tontiꞌrisabꞌal waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ cho areꞌ. Man kakwin ta kꞌu chuchꞌobꞌik rij, rumal cher we jastaq riꞌ xaq xwi kachꞌobꞌ rij pa ri Uxlabꞌixel.
15 We who have God’s Spirit can judge correctly the [value of] all truths [that the Spirit reveals], but [unbelievers] cannot evaluate us correctly.
Ri winaq kꞌut ri kꞌo pa ri Uxlabꞌixel kakwinik kuqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ ronojel ri jastaq, areꞌ kꞌut maj jun kaqꞌatow tzij puꞌwiꞌ.
16 As [one of our prophets wrote: ] No human [RHQ] has known what the Lord is thinking. No human [RHQ] is able to instruct him. But we believers are able to think about things [MTY] in the way that Christ thinks about them.
Jeriꞌ rumal: ¿Jachin xetaꞌman ri kꞌo pa ri uchomabꞌal ri Dios? ¿Jachin chiꞌwe kayoꞌw unoꞌjibꞌal? Are kꞌu ri uj kꞌo ri uchomabꞌal ri Cristo qukꞌ.
