¹Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

¹Jo'can ut ex inhermân, chixjunil a'in yechi'inbil ke lâo. Jo'can nak chikacanabak chixjunil li mâusilal li namuxuc ru li katibel ut li kâm. Xban nak nakaxucua ru li Dios chikaq'ue kach'ôl chi cuânc sa' santilal.

²Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.

²Nintz'âma chêru nak choêra. Mâc'a' xkabânu êre. Mâ ani xkabânu raylal re ut mâ ani xkapo' xch'ôl ut mâ ani xkabalak'i.

³I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.

³Inc'a' xinye a'in re êk'usbal. Ac xinye êre nak junelic nequexinra. Junelic cuânkex sa' inch'ôl nak yo'yôkin ut chalen toj sa' lin camic.

⁴Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

⁴Cau inch'ôl êriq'uin ut nasaho' inch'ôl xyebal êresilal. C'ojc'o inch'ôl êban. Usta yôquin chixc'ulbal li raylal, abanan k'axal sa sa' inch'ôl.

⁵For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.

⁵Chalen kac'ulunic arin Macedonia mâ bar naru nocohilan. Yalak bar nocorahobtesîc ut neque'raj pletic kiq'uin. Ut yô ajcui' kac'a'ux chêrix lâex.

⁶Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

⁶Abanan li Dios naxc'ojob xch'ôleb li raheb sa' xch'ôl. Ut a'an quixq'ue xcacuilal kach'ôl riq'uin lix c'ulunic laj Tito.

⁷and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced still more.

⁷Moco ca'aj cui' ta riq'uin xc'ulunic laj Tito nak quisaho' inch'ôl. Riq'uin ban ajcui' rabinquil nak laj Tito sa sa' xch'ôl êriq'uin. Quixserak'i ke nak lâex têraj rilbal cuu ut quixye cue nak xyot'e' êch'ôl nak xraho' inch'ôl êban. Ut quixye ajcui' cue nak niquinêc'oxla. K'axal cui'chic quisaho' inch'ôl chirabinquil a'an.

⁸For though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry, though just for a while.

⁸Usta xraho' inch'ôl junxil nak xraho' êch'ôl lâex xban li hu quintakla êriq'uin, abanan inc'a' nayot'e' inch'ôl nak quintakla xban nak ninnau nak junpât ajcui' xraho' êch'ôl xban.

⁹I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.

⁹Anakcuan nasaho' sa' inch'ôl. Moco xban ta nak xraho' êch'ôl inban. Riq'uin ban nak xyot'e' êch'ôl ut xejal êc'a'ux. Xecuy li raylal a'an jo' naraj li Dios. Anakcuan nequetau ru nak moco ra ta xkabânu êre.

¹⁰For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world works death.

¹⁰Cui junak naraho' xch'ôl xban li inc'a' us naxbânu, li jun a'an naxtau lix colbal xban nak nayot'e' xch'ôl ut naxjal xc'a'ux jo' naraj li Dios. Ut mâ ani naraho' xch'ôl xban li colba-ib. Abanan cui junak naraho' xch'ôl xban li inc'a' us naxbânu ut inc'a' nayot'e' xch'ôl, li jun a'an inc'a' naxtau li colba-ib.

¹¹For behold, this same thing, that you were made sorry in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vengeance! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.

¹¹Q'uehomak retal chanru nak xextenk'âc xban nak xecuy li raylal jo' naraj li Dios. Quixq'ue xcacuil êch'ôl sa' lê pâbâl. Anakcuan nequeraj rilbal cuu ut nequeraj xpatz'bal xcuybal lê mâc. Nachal chic êjosk'il ut êxiu xban li inc'a' us li neque'xbânu li cuanqueb sa' êyânk. Nequeraj nak laj mâc te'xtoj rix lix mâqueb. Riq'uin chixjunil a'in nac'utun nak lâex mâc'a' êmâc riq'uin li c'a'ru quic'ulman.

¹²So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.

¹²Jo'can ut nak xintz'îba li hu a'an inc'a' xinbânu sa' xc'aba' li quibânun mâusilal chi moco sa' xc'aba' li quic'uluc raylal. Xinbânu ban re nak chic'utûnk chiru li Dios nak c'ojc'o êch'ôl cuiq'uin.

¹³Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

¹³Xban nak xebânu li c'a'ru xinye êre, quic'ojla lin ch'ôl. Ut k'axal cui'chic nasaho' lin ch'ôl riq'uin lix sahil xch'ôl laj Tito êriq'uin lâex nak xeq'ue xcacuilal xch'ôl.

¹⁴For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

¹⁴Nequenau nak junelic ninye êre lix yâlal. Ut inc'a' xinc'ut inxutân nak xinye re laj Tito nak lâex châbilex xban nak x-el ajcui' chi yâl li c'a'ru xinye re laj Tito nak xec'ut lê châbilal chiru.

¹⁵His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.

¹⁵Ut laj Tito k'axal cui'chic nequexra nak najultico' re chanru nak xec'ul a'an sa' xyâlal ut xeq'ue xcuanquil nak xebânu li c'a'ru quixye êre.Nac'ojla inch'ôl riq'uin li c'a'ru nequebânu ut sa inch'ôl êriq'uin.

¹⁶I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.

¹⁶Nac'ojla inch'ôl riq'uin li c'a'ru nequebânu ut sa inch'ôl êriq'uin.
