1 Thessalonians 2
1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,
Qachalal, ix iwetaꞌm chi qas kꞌo xupatanij ri solinik ri xqabꞌan iwukꞌ.
2 but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
Xuqujeꞌ iwetaꞌm chi pune xbꞌan kꞌax chaqe je laꞌ pa ri tinimit Filipos, xqakꞌamawaꞌj qachuqꞌabꞌ pa Dios rumal riꞌ xqatzijoj ri utz laj tzij chiꞌwe.
3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
Xuqujeꞌ are xqatzijoj ri utz laj tzij chiꞌwe, xqabꞌij ri qas tzij, are xqaj xqabꞌan ri utzilal iwukꞌ, man are ta xqaj xqasubꞌ jachinaq.
4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak—not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
Xane qas are ri Dios xchilibꞌen chaqe we utz laj tzij riꞌ, are waꞌ ri kaqaj kaqabꞌano. Man are ta kaqaj kujqaj cho jachinaq chik xane xwi kaqaj kujqaj cho ri Dios rumal are etaꞌmaninaq ri kaqanaꞌo xuqujeꞌ ri kaqachomaj.
5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
Ri ix qas iwetaꞌm chi man xqabꞌij ta jun jastaq chiꞌwe xaq xwi rech kixqamenkꞌetij xuqujeꞌ rech kixqasubꞌu rech kaqachꞌek pwaq chiꞌwij. Ri Dios retaꞌm we jastaq riꞌ.
6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
Man are ta kaqaj chi nim kujiwilo o rech nim kujkil nikꞌaj winaq chik.
7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
Man je ta xujnoꞌjin iwukꞌ jetaq ri taqal chaqe rumal cher uj, uj taqoꞌn rech ri Cristo, man xqata ta chiꞌwe ri kajawataj chaqe, xane je xujnoꞌjin iwukꞌ jetaq kanoꞌjin jun ixoq are kuꞌtubꞌisaj ri ral.
8 Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
Xaq jeriꞌ rumal ri loqꞌanik ri kꞌo pa qanimaꞌ chiꞌwe kujkiꞌkotik man xwi ta rumal kaqatzijoj ri utz laj tzij rech ri Dios chiꞌwe xane we ta xujkwinik xqaya ta xuqujeꞌ riꞌ ri qakꞌaslemal rumal iwe.
9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
Wachalal, kanaꞌtaj riꞌ chiꞌwe chi rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ kꞌax xqatzijoj chiꞌwe ri utz laj tzij rech ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ xujchakun iwukꞌ chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ rech man xujux taj jun eqaꞌn chiꞌwe.
10 You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
Ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri ix qas xiwilo chi qas je xujnoꞌjin kojonelabꞌ iwukꞌ pa jun tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal, sukꞌ xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj chꞌajchꞌoj.
11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
Qas iwetaꞌm chi qas je qabꞌanom chiꞌwilik jetaq kubꞌan jun tat chike ri e ralkꞌwaꞌl.
12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
Xuqujeꞌ xqakoj qachuqꞌabꞌ chiꞌtaqchiꞌxik xuqujeꞌ chukubꞌisaxik ikꞌuꞌx rech kikꞌaslebꞌej jun jeꞌlik laj kꞌaslemal cho ri Dios. Areꞌ ix sikꞌininaq apanoq pa ri rajawarem xuqujeꞌ pa ri ujuluwem.
13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, God’s word, which also works in you who believe.
Xaq jeriꞌ man kujtaniꞌ taj chuyaꞌik tyoxinik che ri Dios jeriꞌ rumal kaqato chi xikꞌamawaꞌj ri utzij ri Dios ri xqatzijoj xuqujeꞌ man xikꞌamawaꞌj taj jacha ri utzij ri winaq xane are utzij ri Dios, are kꞌu waꞌ we tzij riꞌ kachakun pa taq kanimaꞌ ri e kojonelabꞌ.
14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews
Jeriꞌ qachalal, ri ix are xitereneꞌj ri xkikꞌut ri ukomontyox ri Dios pa Cristo Jesús chiꞌwach ri e kꞌo pa Judea, rumal aꞌreꞌ xiriq kꞌax pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri iwinaq jacha ri kꞌax ri xkiriq we e komontyox riꞌ pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,
Are ri winaq aꞌj Israel xekamisan bꞌik ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij, are kꞌu ri uj xujkesaj loq. Man kaqaj ta ri kinoꞌjibꞌal cho ri Dios, sibꞌalaj itzel kenoꞌjin kukꞌ konojel ri winaq.
16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
Jeriꞌ rumal are kakaj kujkiqꞌatej rech man kaqatzijoj ta ri utzij ri Dios chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj rech kekolotajik. Tajin kakitzꞌaqatisaj ri mak chikij rukꞌ ri tajin kakibꞌano. Kape kꞌu na ri nimalaj uqꞌatoj tzij ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ.
17 But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
Are kꞌu ri uj qachalal, pune man xujkꞌojiꞌ iwukꞌ jun janipa qꞌotaj, ri qanimaꞌ kꞌo iwukꞌ, kaqakoj qachuqꞌabꞌ rech jun qꞌijal kixqasolij.
18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
Qas kurayij ri qanimaꞌ kixqasolij, are kꞌu ri in in Pablo, kꞌi mul xinuqꞌatej ri itzel, rumal riꞌ man inbꞌenaq taj.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
Jeriꞌ rumal ¿jas kꞌu riꞌ ri kꞌulibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx, ri qakiꞌkotemal xuqujeꞌ ri rumal kaqanaꞌ nimal pa ri upetibꞌal ri Ajawxel? ¿La man kꞌu ix riꞌ ri kixqakꞌut cho ri Ajawxel?
20 For you are our glory and our joy.
Jeꞌ, ix riꞌ ri ix qakiꞌkotemal xuqujeꞌ rumal iwe kaqanaꞌ nimal.
