2 Corinthians 5
1 We know that [these bodies] we live in [here in this world are like] [MET] tents. [They are like temporary living/dwelling places]. [So we should not be concerned about what happens to our bodies]. We know that if we are killed {if [someone] kills us}, God will give us [permanent living places. Those permanent living places] [MET] will not be houses that people have made. They [will be new bodies in which we will live forever] in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
Qetaꞌm kꞌut chi we qatyoꞌjal ri uj kꞌo wi, jer kꞌo jun ja ri utz katukixik, kasach uwach, kꞌo jun qachoch yaktal chilaꞌ chikaj. Man uqꞌabꞌ ta winaq bꞌanowinaq xuqujeꞌ man kasach ta uwach. (aiōnios g166)
2 [While we are here on earth, we suffer]. We often groan because we desire [to go] to heaven [where God] will give us our new [bodies] [MET].
Rumal kꞌu waꞌ kujbꞌisbꞌatij, kaqarayij chi ri qatyoꞌjal kakꞌexkꞌobꞌ bꞌik cho ri qatyoꞌjal rech chilaꞌ chikaj.
3 When [God gives us(inc) our new bodies] [MET], our [spirits will have] [LIT, MET] bodies to live in [that will last forever].
Rumal cher we kakoj bꞌik ri qatzꞌyaq rech chikajil man ujchꞌanal ta chi riꞌ.
4 [It is true that] while we are still living in these bodies [MET] [that do not last forever], we often groan [DOU] [because we desire to be free from them]. We are not longing to be without a body. Instead, [we groan because] we desire to receive our new bodies [MET] in heaven. We long for this to happen so that these bodies that are going to die some day will suddenly be changed [into bodies] that will live [forever].
Rumal cher uj ri kꞌa uj kꞌo na pa we qatyoꞌjal, kujbꞌisonik, rumal cher man kaqaj taj chi xa kesax kanoq ri qatzꞌyaq xane are kaqaj kakoj bꞌik rech jeriꞌ ri kamikal kasachisax uwach rumal ri kꞌaslemal ri man kꞌo ta ukꞌisik.
5 It is God himself who has prepared us to [receive] these [new bodies]. He is also the one who has guaranteed/assured us [(inc)] that this will happen. He has guaranteed it by sending his Spirit [to live inside us now].
Are ri Dios jewaꞌ xbꞌanow chaqe, xuqujeꞌ xuya ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel chukꞌutik chi qas kubꞌan na ri ubꞌim loq chaqe.
6 So, [because God’s Spirit lives in us], we are always confident [that God will give us new bodies]. We know that as long as we have bodies here on [earth], we are not yet [living together] with the Lord [Jesus in heaven].
Xaq jeriꞌ kuꞌl qakꞌuꞌx xuqujeꞌ qetaꞌm chi we uj kꞌo pa we tyoꞌjal majaꞌ kujopan riꞌ rukꞌ ri Dios.
7 While we [(exc)] live [here, we] do not have our [new bodies, but we are] trusting [that God will give them to us].
Rumal ri kojobꞌal uj kꞌaslik man rumal ta ri kaqilo.
8 [As I said], we [(exc)] are confident [that he will give us new bodies]. We [(exc)] would much prefer to leave these bodies [which we have now], and be with the Lord [Jesus in our] home in [heaven].
Xaq jeriꞌ kuꞌl qakꞌuꞌx, kurayij ri qanimaꞌ we ta mat uj kꞌo chi pa we qatyoꞌjal xane uj kꞌo ta chi ne rukꞌ ri Ajawxel.
9 Because of all that, we always want to please [Jesus in everything that we do]. Whether we [(exc)] are [still living] here [in these] bodies or whether we have [left] them and are living in our home [in heaven], we want to please him.
Rumal riꞌ kaqakoj qachuqꞌabꞌ, rech pune uj kꞌo pa ri qatyoꞌjal o wine uj elinaq xuqujeꞌ bꞌik, kujqaj cho ri Dios.
10 [And we need to try hard to do that] because each one of us [believers] must stand before Christ [to be] judged [by him] {[when he will] judge [his people]}. [At that time] he will [reward each one of] us according to what we have done [while we lived in this world] in these bodies. [He will reward us according to] whether we have done good things or whether we have done evil things.
Rumal cher tzi choqꞌaqꞌ wi kujopan na cho ri uqꞌatbꞌal tzij ri Cristo, rech jeriꞌ kayaꞌtaj chi kijujunal ri kataqiꞌ chike, jas na kꞌu ri xuchakuj jun pa ri utyoꞌjal we utz o man utz taj.
11 It makes me fearful [to think that some day I will stand before the Lord for him to judge me]. So I [do everything that I can to] convince people [that they should believe] (OR, [that I teach] sincerely) [God’s message]. God knows very well [how I conduct my life and what I teach], and I really believe that you know it, too.
Rumal kꞌu che ri qetaꞌm ri mochꞌoj ibꞌ cho ri Dios, keꞌqabꞌochiꞌj konojel ri winaq rech jeriꞌ xuqujeꞌ kakibꞌano, pune retaꞌm ri Dios ri kujuxik, kinwayeꞌj xuqujeꞌ chi qas kichꞌobꞌo ri rajawaxik kibꞌano.
12 Once again [I say, as I write this], I am not just [trying to] make you think well/highly of me, [as some people will probably say that I am]. Instead, I am [telling you in this letter why you have] good reason [to tell those who criticize me] that you think highly of me. [I am telling you this] so that you will know what to say to those [teachers of false doctrine among you]. They are proud [of what they have done], instead of [making sure that] they [are right with God and being pleased with that].
Man kaqabꞌij ta we riꞌ rech kujikꞌamawaꞌj, xane kaqabꞌij chiꞌwe rech nim kinaꞌo che ri kaqabꞌano, jeriꞌ iwetaꞌm qas kibꞌij chike ri winaq ri kakinaꞌ nimal rumal ri kebꞌantajik, man rumal ta ri kꞌo pa qanimaꞌ.
13 [Some of them say that after God has enabled me to see visions], I [talk like] a crazy person. If [that is so, I want you to realize that I talk that way in order to please] God. On the other hand, if [you think that] I [speak and act] wisely, [that is good. I want you to know that I do] speak and act wisely in order to [help] you.
We uj konarinaq, uj konarinaq rumal rech ri Dios; xuqujeꞌ we man uj konarinaq riꞌ xa rumal iwe.
14 [I speak and act the way I do] because the love that Christ [has for people] influences me [in everything that I say and do]. When Christ died, [he suffered the punishment] for [the sins of] all people. So, we should all [think of ourselves as having] died with him, [being as unresponsive to sinful desires as] [MET] a corpse is.
Are ri uloqꞌanik ri Cristo kujtaqchiꞌnik chubꞌanik we riꞌ, jeriꞌ rumal cher uchapom qakꞌuꞌx chi xa jun xkamik kumal ke konojel, rumal riꞌ konojel xekamik.
15 When [Christ] died for the everyone, he died in order that [we believers who are alive now] should not conduct our lives in a way that will just [please ourselves]. Instead, [we should conduct our lives in a way that will please] Christ, [because] he is the one who died for us and was brought back to life {whom [God] raised} again.
Are ri Cristo xkamik kumal ke konojel ri winaq, rech jeriꞌ ri kekꞌasiꞌk man kekꞌasiꞌ taj xaq chupatanixik kibꞌ aꞌreꞌ, xane kakipatanij ri xkamik xuqujeꞌ xkꞌastaj uwach kumal ke.
16 So, [because I realize how much Christ loves everyone], I no longer think about people in the way that those who do not believe [in Christ] think about [them]. Before I [was a believer], I thought about Christ in the way that other non-believers did. But I do not think of him that way any more.
Xaq jeriꞌ man are ta keꞌqil ri winaq pa ri kityoꞌjal pune uj xqil ri Cristo pa ri utyoꞌjal, man je ta chi riꞌ kaqabꞌan chuchꞌobꞌik uwach.
17 The fact is that God makes every one [of us] who [trusts] in Christ to be completely different [than we were before]. Our old [way of conducting our lives] is gone. We now have a [completely] new way of [conducting our lives].
Xaq jeriꞌ we kꞌo jun pa Cristo, jun kꞌakꞌ winaq chik ri qꞌeꞌl taq jastaq xikꞌow kanoq, ronojel xbꞌantaj kꞌakꞌ che.
18 This [complete change in our lives] is all something that God [does]. It is God who made it possible for us to have a peaceful relationship with him. [He was able to do that] because of what Christ [did for us]. Now God [has sent] me, and those [who work] with me, to tell [people that they] can have a peaceful relationship with him.
Ronojel we jastaq riꞌ che ri Dios petinaq wi, are ri Dios rumal ri Jesús xujrutzirisaj rukꞌ areꞌ, xuqujeꞌ xuya chaqe chi kaqatzijoj chike nikꞌaj chik we utz laj taq tzij riꞌ.
19 That is, [he sent us(exc) to tell them that] when Christ [died], God was [making it possible for everyone] [MTY] in the world to have a peaceful relationship with him. He no longer keeps a record of the sinful things that [we believers] have done. The message that [God] has given to us [to tell people is how we can have a] peaceful relationship with him.
Ri Dios pa Cristo xeꞌrutzirisaj rukꞌ Areꞌ ri winaq rech ri uwachulew, man are ta xril ri kimak, xuqujeꞌ xuchilibꞌej chaqe uj chi kaqatzijoj ri utz laj taq tzij.
20 So, it is I and my companions who are Christ’s representatives [in this world. When we tell people the message about Christ], it is God himself who is pleading with them by means of what we [say]. So, as true representatives of Christ, we plead with you: [Believe God’s true message about Christ in order that you may] be reconciled to {have a peaceful relationship with} him.
Xaq jeriꞌ ujutaqoꞌn ri Dios, jer ta ne tzi are Dios kachꞌaw chiqachiꞌ uj kubꞌij chiꞌwe ri rajawaxik kibꞌano. Rumal riꞌ kaqata chiꞌwe puꞌbꞌiꞌ ri Dios chixutziroq rukꞌ ri Dios.
21 [You must believe that even though] Jesus never sinned, God [punished him for all the] sinful things [that people do, just] as [if Jesus had done those sinful things himself]. And because of our close relationship with Christ, God has erased the record of our sins/declared us no longer guilty for our sins.
Ri man xretaꞌmaj ta wi mak, qumal qe je xbꞌan ajmak chech, rech jeriꞌ ri uj kujuxik sukꞌ cho ri Ajawxel Dios pa Cristo.
