¹This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” Deuteronomy 19:15

¹A'in li rox sut nak tincuulak êriq'uin. Cui cuan li tâjitek' nak tincuulak, tento nak cuânk cuib malaj oxib li testigo chixyebal nak yâl lix mâc, jo' tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu.

²I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;

²Nak quincuulac xca' sut êriq'uin, quinq'ueheb chak xna'lebeb li yôqueb chi mâcobc jo' ajcui' chêjunilex. Ut anakcuan mâ anihin sa' êyânk ut tinch'olob cui'chic xyâlal chêru. Nak tincuulak cui'chic êriq'uin, lâin tebink'us chi cau li ani inc'a' us yôqueb chixbânunquil. Inc'a' chic te'cuil xtok'obâl ru.

³seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you.

³Riq'uin a'in tênau nak ninâtinac riq'uin li cuanquil q'uebil cue xban li Cristo. Moco mâc'a' ta xcuanquil li Cristo re êk'usbal. K'axal nim ban xcuanquil chêk'usbal.

⁴For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

⁴Cubenak xcuanquil li Cristo nak quicamsîc chiru li cruz. Abanan quicuaclesîc cui'chic sa' xyânkeb li camenak chi yo'yo xban xcuanquil li Dios. Jo' nak quixcubsi xcuanquil li Cristo, jo'can ajcui' takacubsi kacuanquil lâo. Abanan yo'yôco xban xcuanquil li Dios ut q'uebil ke li kacuanquil xban li Dios re xk'usbaleb li neque'xbânu li inc'a' us.

⁵Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

⁵Q'uehomak retal lê yu'am. ¿Ma tz'akal re ru lê yu'am? ¿Ma chi anchal êch'ôl nequexpâban? ¿Ma inc'a' ta bi' nequenau chi tz'akal nak li Cristo cuan êriq'uin? ¿Malaj ut toj mâji' nequexpâban?

⁶But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.

⁶Usan cui nak tincuulak êriq'uin, têq'ue retal nak lâin tz'akalin x-apóstol li Jesucristo.

⁷Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate.

⁷Lâin junelic nintz'âma chiru li Dios nak inc'a' têbânu li inc'a' us. Inc'a' nintz'âma a'an re nak tâc'utûnk nak châbil li c'anjel ninbânu sa' êyânk. Re ban nak tz'akalak re ru lê yu'am. Nacuaj nak têbânu li us usta inc'a' naq'uehe' xcuanquil li c'anjel li ninbânu sa' êyânk.

⁸For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

⁸Lâo inc'a' naru nakapo' ru li yâl. Nococ'anjelac ban re xq'uebal xcuanquil li yâl.

⁹For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this we also pray for, even your perfecting.

⁹Jo'can nak k'axal raj tâsahok' sa' inch'ôl nak tincuulak êriq'uin cui châbilak chic lê yu'am re nak inc'a' tento tinc'ut chêru nak cuan incuanquil re êk'usbal. Nintijoc chêrix re nak tz'akalak re ru lê yu'am sa' lê pâbâl.

¹⁰For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.

¹⁰Jo'can nak yôquin chixtz'îbanquil li hu a'in êriq'uin nak toj mâji' ninxic êriq'uin. Nak cuânkin cui'chic sa' êyânk lâin inc'a' nacuaj texink'us chi cau usta cuan incuanquil re êk'usbal. Li Kâcua' inc'a' quixq'ue lin cuanquil re êsachbal. Re ban êtenk'anquil sa' lê pâbâl.

¹¹Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

¹¹Anakcuan ex inhermân, texinchak'rabi riq'uin a âtin a'in: Jalomak lê c'a'ux re nak tz'akalak êre êru. Cheq'uehak retal li jo' q'uial xinye êre. Junajak taxak lê c'a'ux ut chexcuânk sa' xyâlal chi ribil êrib. Ut cuânk êriq'uin li Dios li narahoc ke ut naxq'ue ke li tuktûquil usilal.

¹²Greet one another with a holy kiss.

¹²Cheq'uehak xsahil êch'ôl chi ribil êrib riq'uin santil utz'uc u.

¹³All the saints greet you.

¹³Chixjunileb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb arin neque'xtakla xsahil êch'ôl.Chicuânk taxak êriq'uin li rusilal li Kâcua' Jesucristo, ut chicuânk taxak êriq'uin li rahoc ib li naxq'ue li Kâcua' Dios, ut a' taxak li Santil Musik'ej chicuânk êriq'uin. Jo'can taxak.

¹⁴The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.

¹⁴Chicuânk taxak êriq'uin li rusilal li Kâcua' Jesucristo, ut chicuânk taxak êriq'uin li rahoc ib li naxq'ue li Kâcua' Dios, ut a' taxak li Santil Musik'ej chicuânk êriq'uin. Jo'can taxak.
