¹Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

¹Lâin laj Pablo. Cuochben laj Silvano ut laj Timoteo nak yôco chixtz'îbanquil li hu a'in êriq'uin lâex laj pâbanel li cuanquex aran Tesalónica. Lâex rehex chic li Dios li kaYucua' ut rehex chic li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

²Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²A' taxak li usilal ut li tuktûquilal chicuânk êriq'uin, li naxq'ue li Dios li kaYucua' ut li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

³We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds;

³Ex inhermân, inc'a' nakacanab xbantioxinquil chiru li Dios sa' êc'aba' lâex. Tento takabantioxi chiru li Dios xban nak yô chi cacuûc êch'ôl sa' lê pâbâl ut k'axal cui'chic nequera êrib chêribil êrib.

⁴so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

⁴Jo'can nak k'axal sa sa' kach'ôl chixserak'inquil resil lê pâbâl reheb li neque'pâban re li Dios yalak bar. Nakaye reheb chanru nak nequexpâban chi anchal êch'ôl ut cau êch'ôl nak yôquex chixcuybal xnumsinquil li raylal ut li ra xîc'.

⁵This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.

⁵Xban nak nequecuy xnumsinquil li raylal nac'utun nak li Dios yô chêtenk'anquil. Li Dios târakok âtin sa' tîquilal. Tento nak têcuy li raylal re nak li Dios tixye nak êc'ulub oc sa' lix nimajcual cuanquilal ut sa' xc'aba' ajcui' a'an nak yôquex chixc'ulbal li raylal.

⁶Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,

⁶K'axal tîc xch'ôl li Dios. Jo'can nak tixq'ue raylal sa' xbêneb li neque'rahobtesin êre.

⁷and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

⁷Abanan lâex li yôquex chixc'ulbal raylal, li Dios texq'ue chi hilânc kochben lâo ut inc'a' chic takac'ul raylal. A'in tâc'ulmânk nak li Kâcua' Jesucristo tixc'utbesi chak rib nak tâchâlk toj sa' choxa. Tâchâlk rochbenakeb chak lix ángel li cuanqueb xcuanquil.

⁸giving vengeance to those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

⁸Chanchan li rak' xam nak tâchâlk li Kâcua' Jesucristo riq'uin xnimal xlok'al chi rakoc âtin. Tixq'ueheb chixtojbal xmâqueb li ani inc'a' neque'pâban re li Dios jo' ajcui' li ani inc'a' neque'raj rabinquil resilal li colba-ib li naxq'ue li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

⁹who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

⁹Lix tojbal rixeb lix mâc li tixq'ue, a'an li sachc chi junelic nak te'isîk chiru li Kâcua' Jesucristo ut chiru lix nimal xlok'al ut lix cuanquilal.

¹⁰when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired among all those who have believed (because our testimony to you was believed) in that day.

¹⁰Chixjunil a'in tâc'ulmânk sa' li cutan nak tol-êlk cui'chic li Kâcua' Jesucristo. Sa' li cutan a'an li Jesucristo tâlok'onîk xbaneb chixjunileb li neque'pâban re. Lâex cuanquex sa' xyânkeb a'an. Rehex chic li Cristo xban nak ac xepâb lix yâlal li xkach'olob chêru.

¹¹To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith, with power;

¹¹Jo'can nak junelic nocotijoc chêrix ut nakatz'âma chiru li Dios nak châbilakex taxak re nak êc'ulubak cuânc chok' ralal xc'ajol li Dios.

¹²that the name of our Lord Jesus TR adds “Christ” may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
