¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,

¹Lâin laj Pablo. Lâin x-apóstol li Jesucristo xban nak jo'can quiraj li Dios. Taklanbilin chixyebal resil li ac' yu'am li yechi'inbil ke xban li Dios, li yu'am li naxq'ue ke li Jesucristo.

²to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

²Yôquin chixtz'îbanquil li hu a'in âcuiq'uin, at Timoteo. Rarôcat inban ut chanchanat tz'akal cualal chicuu nak cuancat. Chicuânk taxak âcuiq'uin li usilal, li uxtân, ut li tuktûquilal, li nachal chak riq'uin li Dios li kaYucua' ut riq'uin li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

³I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day

³Junelic ninbantioxi chiru li Dios nak nacatinjultica sa' lin tij chi k'ek chi cutan. Ut mâc'a' nach'i'ch'i'in cue sa' li cuâm nak ninc'anjelac chiru li Dios jo' que'xbânu lin xe'tônil yucua'.

⁴longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;

⁴Nacuaj raj rilbal cui'chic âcuu. Jultic cue chanru nak xatyâbac xban xrahil âch'ôl ut nacuaj nak tâsahok' cui'chic inch'ôl nak tincuil âcuu.

⁵having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.

⁵Nak nintijoc najultico' cue nak chi anchal âch'ôl xatpâban. Junxil lâ na'chin lix Loida jo' ajcui' lix Eunice lâ na' que'pâban chi anchaleb xch'ôl ut ninnau nak jo'can ajcui' nak xatpâban lâat.

⁶For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

⁶Jo'can nak ninjultica châcuu nak chaq'uehak chi c'anjelac lâ mâtan q'uebil âcue xban li Dios nak quinq'ue li cuuk' sa' âbên.

⁷For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

⁷Mâcua' li xucuac li xkamâtani chak riq'uin li Dios. Kacuanquil ban xkamâtani riq'uin. Li Dios nocoxtenk'a chixrabaleb li kas kîtz'in ut a'an naq'uehoc ke li châbil na'leb.

⁸Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

⁸Jo'can ut nak matxutânac chixch'olobanquil resil li Kâcua' Jesucristo chi moco tatxutânâk inban lâin xban nak cuanquin chi prêxil xban xyebal resil li Kâcua'. Chaq'ue ban âcuib chi tz'akônc riq'uin li raylal nac'ulman sa' xc'aba' li evangelio. Ut li Dios tâq'uehok âcuanquil chixcuybal.

⁹who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

⁹A'an quicoloc ke ut quixsic' chak ku re nak toc'anjelak sa' tîquilal. Mâcua' xban kayehom kabânuhom nak quixsic' ku. Yal xban li rusilal ban, xban nak jo'can quiraj. Sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo nak quiruxtâna ku, xban nak ac jo'can chak sa' xch'ôl junxilaj nak toj mâji' quixyîb li ruchich'och'.

¹⁰but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

¹⁰Li usilal a'in quic'utbesîc chiku riq'uin lix c'ulunic sa' ruchich'och' li Kâcua' Jesucristo laj Colol ke. Ut a'an qui-isin re xcuanquil li câmc ut quixc'ut chiku li ac' yu'am li mâc'a' roso'jic.

¹¹For this, I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

¹¹Li Dios quixakaban cue chi c'anjelac chok' apóstol ut chok' aj tzolol reheb li mâcua'eb aj judío re nak tinye resil li colba-ib reheb.

¹²For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

¹²Jo'can nak nincuy chixjunil li raylal ut inc'a' ninxutânac xban nak c'ojc'o inch'ôl riq'uin li Kâcua'. A'an li ninpâb ut xink'axtesi cuib sa' ruk'. Ninnau nak a'an tâtenk'ânk cue toja' yal nak tâc'ulûnk cui'chic li Jesucristo.

¹³Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

¹³Chicuânk sa' âch'ôl li tijleb li tz'akal yâl li xinc'ut châcuu. Ut chicuânk lâ pâbâl ut chatrahok xban nak rehat chic li Cristo.

¹⁴That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

¹⁴Riq'uin xcuanquil li Santil Musik'ej li cuan âcuiq'uin, chac'ulahak sa' âch'ôl lix yâlal li lok'laj colba-ib k'axtesinbil âcue xban li Dios.

¹⁵This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

¹⁵Lâat nacanau nak chixjunileb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb Asia xine'xcanab injunes. Sa' xyânkeb a'an cuanqueb laj Figelo ut laj Hermógenes.

¹⁶May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

¹⁶Ca'aj chic laj Onesíforo q'uila sut colinril sa' tz'alam ut quixc'ojob inch'ôl ut inc'a' quixutânac xban nak bac'bôquin chi cadena. A' taxak li Kâcua' Dios chi-osobtesînk re li jun cabal a'an.

¹⁷but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me

¹⁷Nak quic'ulun arin Roma, laj Onesíforo quinixsic' chi anchal xch'ôl toj retal quinixtau.Lâat nacanau chi tz'akal nak quixq'ue xch'ôl chi tenk'ânc aran Efeso. A' taxak li Kâcua' Dios chi-uxtânânk ru sa' xk'ehil xc'ulunic li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

¹⁸(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.

¹⁸Lâat nacanau chi tz'akal nak quixq'ue xch'ôl chi tenk'ânc aran Efeso. A' taxak li Kâcua' Dios chi-uxtânânk ru sa' xk'ehil xc'ulunic li Kâcua' Jesucristo.
