⁵You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁵Ut lâex chanchanex li coc' pec li na-oc sa' li tz'ac. Xban li rusilal li Jesucristo, naru texc'anjelak chiru li Dios jo' eb laj tij li neque'mayejac chiru li Dios. Li mayej li k'axal lok', a'an nak têk'axtesi êrib sa' ruk' li Dios. Ut lê mayej nac'ule' xban li Dios sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo.

⁶Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, and precious: He who believes in him will not be disappointed.” Isaiah 28:16

⁶Tz'îbanbil retalil sa' li Santil Hu li quixye li Dios chirix li Cristo nak quixye chi jo'ca'in: Lâin xinsic' ru li Colonel jo' nak laj tz'ac naxsic' ru li châbil pec chok' xxe' li cab. Xinsic' ru chok' xxe' lê pâbâl. Li ani tâpâbânk re inc'a' tâch'inânk xch'ôl. (Isa. 28:16)

⁷For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,” Psalm 118:22

⁷K'axal lok' li Cristo chok' êre lâex li ac xexpâban. Abanan chok' reheb li mâji' neque'pâban, mâc'a' na-oc cui'. Tz'îbanbil retalil sa' li Santil Hu chi jo'ca'in: Li pec li quitz'ektânâc xbaneb laj cablanel, a'an li pec li k'axal châbil li quiq'uehe' chok' xxuc li cab. (Sal. 118:22)

⁸and, “a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” Isaiah 8:14 For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

⁸Ut tz'îbanbil ajcui' sa' li Santil Hu chi jo'ca'in: A'an ut li pec li que'xtich cui' li rokeb. A'an li pec li nat'anoc. (Isa. 8:14-15) Li cristian li neque'xtich rokeb chiru, a'aneb laj k'etol râtin li Dios. Ac ch'olch'o nak te'xc'ul lix tojbal lix mâc xban nak neque'xtz'ektâna li Cristo.

⁹But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

⁹Lâex sic'bil êru xban li Dios. Sic'bil êru chi c'anjelac chiru li Dios jo' nak neque'c'anjelac laj tij. Lâex lix tenamit li Dios ut santobresinbilex. Lâex chic ralal xc'ajol li Dios.

¹⁰who in time past were no people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

¹⁰Junxil mâcua'ex ralal xc'ajol li Dios. Aban anakcuan lâex chic ralal xc'ajol. Junxil inc'a' nequenau lix nimal ruxtân li Dios. Aban anakcuan nequenau chic.

¹¹Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

¹¹Ex inhermân, rarôquex inban. Lâex yal numelex arin sa' ruchich'och'. Lâin nintz'âma chêru nak mêbânu chic li mâusilal li quebânu chak junxil xban nak a'an ca'aj cui' xpo'bal ru lê c'a'ux naxbânu.

¹²having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹²Châbilak taxak lê na'leb chiruheb li mâji' neque'pâban. Usta yôkeb chixyebal nak inc'a' us lê na'leb, aban cui têbânu li us, te'xq'ue retal ut te'xnima xlok'al li Dios nak tâcuulak xk'ehil li rakba âtin.

¹³Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

¹³Sa' xc'aba' li Cristo chepâbâk chixjunileb li chak'rab q'uebil xbaneb li cuînk li neque'taklan sa' êbên. Chexpâbânk chiru li acuabej xban nak a'an cuan sa' xcuanquil.

¹⁴or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.

¹⁴Ut chexpâbânk ajcui' chiruheb li taklanbileb xban li acuabej chi rakoc âtin sa' xbêneb li neque'xsic' xmâc ut re ajcui' nak te'xq'ue xlok'al li châbileb xna'leb.

¹⁵For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

¹⁵Li Dios naraj nak texcuânk sa' xyâlal. Nak te'ril lê tîquilal, li inc'a' useb xna'leb ut li inc'a' neque'xnau xyâlal, inc'a' chic te'âtinak chêrix.

¹⁶as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

¹⁶Libre chic cuânkex. Abanan moco xban ta nak libre chic cuânkex nak tex-oc chixbânunquil li mâusilal. Cheq'uehak ban êch'ôl chi c'anjelac chiru li Dios.

¹⁷Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

¹⁷Lâex aj pâbanel, chera êrib chêribil êrib. Chexucuâk ru li Kâcua' Dios. Che-oxlok'i lê ras êrîtz'in. Ut cheq'uehak xlok'al li acuabej.

¹⁸Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.

¹⁸Ex aj c'anjel chex-abînk chiruheb lê patrón ut che-oxlok'iheb. Moco ca'aj cui' ta chiruheb li tûlaneb. Chex-abînk ban ajcui' chiruheb li josk' aj patrón.

¹⁹For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.

¹⁹Cui nequec'ul junak raylal chi mâc'a' êmâc, osobtesinbilakex cui nequecuy xban nak yôquex chixpâbanquil li Dios.

²⁰For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.

²⁰Cui nequexsaq'ue' xban nak xesic' êmâc, ut nequecuy xnumsinquil, mâc'a' xlok'al a'an. Abanan cui nequec'ul li raylal riq'uin xbânunquil li us ut nequecuy, a'an lok' chiru li Dios.

²¹For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you TR reads “us” instead of “you” an example, that you should follow his steps,

²¹Li Dios naraj nak têbânu jo' quixbânu li Cristo. Li Cristo quixc'ul li raylal sa' êc'aba' lâex. A'an quic'amoc be chêru re nak lâex têcuy ajcui' xnumsinquil li raylal.

²²who did not sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.” Isaiah 53:9

²²Li Cristo mâc'a' xmâc. Ut mâ jun sut quibalak'in.

²³Who, when he was cursed, didn’t curse back. When he suffered, didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;

²³Nak quihobe' li Cristo, inc'a' quixsume ru. Ut nak yô chixc'ulbal li raylal, mâc'a' quixye. Inc'a' quixmajecuaheb. Quixk'axtesi ban rib sa' ruk' li Dios, li narakoc âtin sa' tîquilal.

²⁴who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.
