¹Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you;

¹Ut anakcuan ex inhermân, cuan cui'chic c'a'ru nacuaj xtz'âmanquil chêru. Nintz'âma chêru nak textijok chikix re nak tâyemânk li râtin li Kâcua' Jesucristo yalak bar ut che'xq'ue xlok'al ut che'pâbânk taxak jo' nak quexpâban lâex.

²and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith.

²Chextijok ajcui' chikix re nak li Dios tâcolok ke chiruheb li cuînk li inc'a' useb xna'lebeb ut neque'bânun re li mâusilal xban nak moco chixjunileb ta neque'pâban re li Dios.

³But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.

³A'ut li Kâcua' Jesucristo, a'an tîc xch'ôl ut junelic naxbânu li c'a'ru naxye. A'an tâq'uehok xcacuil êch'ôl ut a'an ajcui' tâcolok êre chiru laj tza.

⁴We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.

⁴Ut c'ojc'o kach'ôl sa' êbên lâex sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo nak yôquex chixbânunquil li xkajultica chêru ut nakanau nak têbânu li bar cuan takaye êre.

⁵May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

⁵A' taxak li Kâcua' Jesucristo chitenk'ânk êre chixnaubal nak rarôquex xban li Dios ut chicuânk taxak êriq'uin li cuyuc li naxq'ue li Cristo.

⁶Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us.

⁶Ut nakajultica chêru ex hermân, sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo nak cherisi êrib riq'uineb li hermân li yal subuc cutan neque'xbânu ut inc'a' neque'xpâb lê tijbal q'uebil êre kaban.

⁷For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn’t behave ourselves rebelliously among you,

⁷Lâex ac nequenau ajcui' chanru xkabânu nak xocuan êriq'uin. Chebânu jo' xkabânu lâo. Inc'a' xosubuc cutan nak xocuan êriq'uin.

⁸neither did we eat bread from anyone’s hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you;

⁸Inc'a' xocua'ac yal chi mâtan. Inc'a' xkac'ul katenk'anquil nak xocuan sa' êyânk. Xkatacuasi ban kib chi c'anjelac chi k'ek chi cutan re nak tâcuânk c'a'ru ke re xnumsinquil li cutan junjûnk ut mâ ani xkach'i'ch'i'i sa' êyânk.

⁹not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.

⁹Moco xban ta nak mâcua' ta kac'ulub xc'ulbal katenk'anquil nak xkabânu a'an. Xkabânu chi jo'can yal re nak têtzol êrib kiq'uin.

¹⁰For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone will not work, neither let him eat.”

¹⁰Ut nak toj cuanco chak êriq'uin, xkajultica lix yâlal a'in chêru: li ani inc'a' naraj trabajic, inc'a' tâq'uehek' xcua.

¹¹For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don’t work at all, but are busybodies.

¹¹Nakaye a'in êre xban nak xkabi resil nak cuan junjûnk sa' êyânk yal subuc cutan yôqueb. Junes moloc âtin neque'xbânu ut inc'a' neque'raj trabajic.

¹²Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

¹²Sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo, ninye reheb li inc'a' neque'raj trabajic nak tento te'trabajik sa' xyâlal re nak tâcuânk c'a'ru reheb re xnumsinquil li cutan junjûnk.

¹³But you, brothers, don’t be weary in doing well.

¹³Ut lâex, ex hermân, inc'a' taxak textitz'k chixbânunquil li us.

¹⁴If any man doesn’t obey our word in this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

¹⁴Cui ut cuan junak sa' êyânk inc'a' naraj xpâbanquil li âtin a'in li xkatz'îba êre sa' li hu a'in, cheq'uehak retal a'an. Ut mêrochbeni êrib riq'uin re nak tâxutânâk.

¹⁵Don’t count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

¹⁵Abanan inc'a' xîc' têril. Cheq'uehak ban xna'leb jo' nak naq'uehe' xna'leb junak li îtz'inbej.

¹⁶Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

¹⁶A' taxak li Kâcua' Jesucristo li naq'uehoc tuktûquil usilal, chiq'uehok êre li tuktûquilal chi junelic riq'uin yalak c'a'ru nequec'ul. A' taxak li Kâcua' Jesucristo chicuânk êriq'uin chêjunilex.

¹⁷The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write.

¹⁷Lâin laj Pablo. Riq'uin cuuk' yôquin chixtz'îbanquil lin c'aba' jo' c'aynakin chixbânunquil rajlal nak nintz'îba li hu. A'an retalil nak lâin xintaklan re li hu a'in. Ut yôquin chixtaklanquil xsahil êch'ôl.A' taxak li usilal li naxq'ue li Kâcua' Jesucristo chicuânk êriq'uin chêjunilex. Jo'can taxak.

¹⁸The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

¹⁸A' taxak li usilal li naxq'ue li Kâcua' Jesucristo chicuânk êriq'uin chêjunilex. Jo'can taxak.
