¹Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you

¹Ex inhermân, anakcuan tinch'olob xyâlal chêru chirix lix c'ulunic li Kâcua' Jesucristo ut lix ch'utubanquil kib riq'uin.

²not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of Christ had come.

²Nintz'âma chêru nak mêq'ue êrib chi balak'îc xbaneb li te'yehok nak ac xcuulac xk'ehil lix c'ulunic li Kâcua' Jesucristo. Mâre tâyehek' êre xban junak li profeta, malaj xban junak cuînk tââtinak êriq'uin, malaj xban junak tâtz'îbak êriq'uin ut tixye nak lâo xkatz'îba li hu a'an. Abanan mêpâb li c'a'ru te'xye eb a'an xban nak moco yâl ta.

³Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,

³Mâc'a' ta c'a'ru chexbalak'îk cui'. Li Kâcua' Jesucristo inc'a' tâchâlk chi mâji'ak natz'ektânâc li Dios xbaneb nabal chi tenamit. Ut tâchâlk ajcui' li cuînk laj k'etol chak'rab. A'an li tâc'uluk re li sachc chi junaj cua.

⁴he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

⁴A'an tixq'ue xcuanquil xjunes rib ut xic' târil yalak c'a' chi diosil ut li c'a'ak re ru nalok'oniman sa' ruchich'och'. Tixnimobresi rib sa' xbên chixjunil toj retal nak tâc'ojlâk sa' rochoch li Dios ut a'an chic tixq'ue rib chok' dios.

⁵Don’t you remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?

⁵¿Ma inc'a' jultic êre nak quinye chak êre chixjunil a'in nak toj cuanquin chak êriq'uin?

⁶Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

⁶Lâex ac nequenau c'a'ru li naramoc re nak toj mâji' nachal laj k'etol chak'rab. Abanan nak tâcuulak xk'ehil, tâc'ulûnk.

⁷For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

⁷Li mâusilal ac cuan sa' ruchich'och', abanan toj mâji' nanumta chi us. Tâcuulak xk'ehil nak li Dios inc'a' chic tixram li mâusilal ut li mâusilal tânumtâk arin sa' ruchich'och'.

⁸Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

⁸Sa' eb li cutan a'an tâc'utbesîk laj k'etol chak'rab. Tojo'nak li Kâcua' Jesucristo tâc'ulûnk riq'uin xnimal xlok'al. Tâapusîk laj k'etol chak'rab xban li Kâcua' ut aran tâosok'. Chi jo'can tâsachek' chixjunil lix cuanquil sa' xc'ulunic li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

⁹even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

⁹Laj k'etol chak'rab tâchâlk riq'uin xcuanquil laj tza. Tixc'utbesi nak cuan xcuanquil chixbânunquil li milagros ut sachba ch'ôlej re xbalak'inquil li cristian.

¹⁰and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹⁰Tixbalak'iheb li te'sachek' xban nak que'xtz'ektâna lix yâlal li quicoloc raj reheb.

¹¹Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;

¹¹Jo'can nak li Dios tixq'ueheb chixpâbanquil li moco yâl ta.

¹²that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

¹²Li Dios quixbânu chi jo'ca'in riq'uineb re nak te'xc'ul xtojbal xmâqueb chixjunileb li inc'a' que'pâban re li yâl. A' ban chic li mâusilal quicuulac chiruheb xbânunquil.

¹³But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth;

¹³Ex inhermân, tento nak lâo tobantioxînk chiru li Dios chêrix lâex. Rarôquex xban li Kâcua' Jesucristo. Li Dios quisic'oc chak êru chalen chak sa' xticlajic re nak texcolek' xban nak santobresinbilex chic xban li Santil Musik'ej ut xban nak nequepâb li yâl.

¹⁴to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁴A'an aj e nak li Dios quixsic' êru re nak têpâb li evangelio li xkach'olob chêru re nak textz'akônk riq'uin lix nimal xlok'al li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

¹⁵So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.

¹⁵Jo'can ut ex hermân, cauhak taxak êch'ôl sa' lê pâbâl. Mêcanab xpâbanquil lê tijbal li xkach'olob chêru nak xoâtinac êriq'uin. Chi moco têcanab xpâbanquil li c'a'ru xkatakla xyebal êre sa' li hu li xkatakla êriq'uin.

¹⁶Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

¹⁶Li Kâcua' Jesucristo ut li Dios li kaYucua', li narahoc ke, xban xnimal rusilal naxc'ojob kach'ôl chi junelic ut naxq'ue xcacuilal kach'ôl chi oybenînc.A'an ta ajcui' chic'ojobânk êch'ôl ut chiq'uehok êcacuilal re xyebal ut re xbânunquil li c'a'ru us.

¹⁷comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.

¹⁷A'an ta ajcui' chic'ojobânk êch'ôl ut chiq'uehok êcacuilal re xyebal ut re xbânunquil li c'a'ru us.
