¹Let as many as are bondservants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.

¹Eb li môs aj pâbaneleb te'x-oxlok'i lix patroneb re nak mâ ani tâmajecuânk re lix c'aba' li Dios chi moco te'xtz'ektâna li katijbal.

²Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

²Moco xban ta nak rech aj pâbaneleb lix patrón nak inc'a' te'xq'ue sa' xnak'eb ru. Tento aj ban cui' nak te'xq'ue xch'ôl chi trabajic xban nak rech aj pâbanelil li neque'c'uluc re li châbil c'anjel neque'xbânu ut xban nak rarôqueb ajcui' xban li Dios. At Timoteo, a'an a'in li tâch'olob xyâlal chiruheb laj pâbanel.

³If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,

³Cuan li neque'c'utuc re jalan tijleb li moco yâl ta. Moco neque'xpâb ta li yâl li quixc'ut chiku li Kâcua' Jesucristo. Jalan cui' lix pâbâleb.

⁴he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

⁴Eb li cuînk a'an mâc'a' neque'xnau. Junes xnimobresinquil rib neque'xbânu. Ca'aj cui' xcuech'inquil ribeb chirix âtin nacuulac chiruheb. Ut riq'uin a'an nachal li cakalînc, li hoboc, li k'abânc ut li cuibânc ch'ôlej.

⁵constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such. NU omits “Withdraw yourself from such.”

⁵Eb li cuînk a'in, junes cuech'înc neque'xbânu. Moco tuktu ta xc'a'uxeb ut moco yâl ta li neque'xye. Neque'xc'oxla nak riq'uin lix pâbâleb te'xtau xtumineb. Mâjunaji âcuib riq'uineb a'an.

⁶But godliness with contentment is great gain.

⁶Yâl nak k'axal lok' li pâbâl chok' reheb li neque'xc'ojob xch'ôl riq'uin li jo' nimal jo' ch'inal cuan reheb.

⁷For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.

⁷Mâc'a' cuan ke nak coyo'la sa' ruchich'och' ut mâc'a' ajcui' takac'am nak tocâmk.

⁸But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.

⁸Jo'can nak cui cuan katzacaêmk ut cui cuan kat'icr re xtz'apbal kib, c'ojc'ôk kach'ôl riq'uin a'an.

⁹But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.

⁹Abanan eb li neque'rahoc ru li biomal, neque'xq'ue rib chi âlêc ut neque'xbânu li yibru aj na'leb. A'an napo'oc ru lix c'a'uxeb ut riq'uin chixjunil li inc'a' us neque'xbânu, neque'xsach lix pâbâleb.

¹⁰For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

¹⁰Li xrahinquil ru li tumin, a'an xxe' xtônal chixjunil li mâusilal. Cuanqueb li que'xtz'ektâna lix pâbâl xban xrahinquil ru li tumin. Ut q'uila raylal que'xbok sa' xbêneb. Ut neque'yot'ot'nac sa' xch'ôleb riq'uin li inc'a' us neque'xbânu.

¹¹But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.

¹¹Ut lâat, at Timoteo, lâat aj c'anjel chiru li Dios. Mâbânu li mâusilal li neque'xbânu eb a'an. Q'ue ban âch'ôl chi cuânc sa' tîquilal. Chara li Dios ut chatpâbânk chiru. Charaheb lâ cuas âcuîtz'in. Chacuy li raylal ut chatcuânk sa' tûlanil.

¹²Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

¹²Yal âk'e chi q'uîc sa' lâ pâbâl ut q'ue âch'ôl chirêchaninquil li junelic yu'am, li bokbilat cui' xban li Dios. Lâat xaye ut xac'utbesi chi tz'akal lâ pâbâl chiruheb nabal.

¹³I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,

¹³Sa' xc'aba' li Dios li naq'uehoc yu'am, lâin nintz'âma châcuu nak tâbânu lâ taklanquil. Ut nintz'âma ajcui' châcuu sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo li quich'oloban xyâlal chi mâc'a' xxiu chiru laj Poncio Pilato.

¹⁴that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁴Ut lâ taklanquil, a'an a'in: chabânu chixjunil li taklanbilat cui' xban li Kâcua'. Tîcak lâ ch'ôl ut mâc'a'ak âk'usbal toj retal tâc'ulûnk cui'chic li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

¹⁵which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

¹⁵Nak tixtau xk'ehil li Dios tixc'utbesi cui'chic chiku li Jesucristo. Li Dios, a'an k'axal lok' ut junaj ajcui'. A'an li Rey li k'axal nim xcuanquil sa' xbêneb chixjunileb li rey li cuanqueb sa' ruchich'och'. Ut a'an ajcui' li Kâcua' li k'axal nim xcuanquil sa' xbêneb chixjunileb li cuanqueb xcuanquil.

¹⁶who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

¹⁶Li Dios yo'yo chi junelic. Mâc'a' xticlajic ut mâc'a' roso'jic. A'an cutan saken chi junelic ut mâ ani naru na-oc riq'uin xban nak k'axal lok'. Inc'a' ilbil ru chi moco na-ile' ru sa' ruchich'och'. Chikaq'uehak taxak xlok'al ut chikalok'onihak taxak xban nak k'axal nim lix cuanquilal anakcuan ut chi junelic. Jo'can taxak.

¹⁷Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy;

¹⁷Tâch'olob xyâlal chiruheb li biom nak inc'a' te'xk'etk'eti ribeb chi moco te'xc'ojob xch'ôl sa' xbên li biomal li na-oso'. Che'xq'ue ban xch'ôl chixyo'oninquil li yo'yôquil Dios. A'an naq'uehoc ke chi nabal chixjunil li c'a'ak re ru.

¹⁸that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

¹⁸Chaye reheb nak che'xbânu li us. Chinumtâk lix châbilaleb. Che'xnauhak sihînc chi nabal ut chi anchaleb xch'ôl.

¹⁹laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.

¹⁹Cui neque'xbânu chi jo'can yôqueb chixc'ûlanquil lix râbaleb sa' choxa ut riq'uin a'an c'ojc'ôk xch'ôleb. Che'xbânuhak chi jo'can re nak tâcuânk lix yu'ameb chi tz'akal re ru ut chi numtajenak xsahil xch'ôleb.

²⁰Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;

²⁰At Timoteo, cuânk sa' âch'ôl li tijleb q'uebil âcue xban li Dios. Mâq'ue xcuanquil li jo' mâjo'il serak' ut li cuech'ij ib xban nak mâc'a' na-oc cui'. Cuan li neque'yehoc re nak châbil na'leb, abanan moco yâl ta.Ninye a'in xban nak cuan li que'pâban re li na'leb a'in ut xban a'an, que'xcanab xpâbanquil li tz'akal yâl. A' taxak li rusilal li Dios chicuânk êriq'uin.

²¹which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

²¹Ninye a'in xban nak cuan li que'pâban re li na'leb a'in ut xban a'an, que'xcanab xpâbanquil li tz'akal yâl. A' taxak li rusilal li Dios chicuânk êriq'uin.
