¹You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

¹A'ut anakcuan, at Timoteo, cauhak âch'ôl riq'uin li usilal q'uebil ke xban nak reho chic li Cristo Jesús.

²The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

²Li xyâlal li xinc'ut châcuu chiruheb nabaleb li cristian, a'an ajcui' chajultica chiruheb li cuînk li tîqueb xch'ôleb re nak eb a'an chic te'c'utuk re chiruheb jalaneb chic.

³You therefore must endure hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

³Chattz'akônk riq'uin li raylal li nakac'ul ut chacuyak xnumsinquil chixjunil li raylal jo' jun xchâbil soldado li Jesucristo.

⁴No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

⁴Junak soldado inc'a' naru naxsic' jalan xc'anjel xban nak ac sic'bil ru chok' soldado. Naxq'ue ban xch'ôl chixbânunquil li nacuulac chiru li nataklan re.

⁵Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.

⁵Ut jo'can ajcui' li naxyal xk'e chi âlinac, inc'a' naxc'ul lix mâtan cui inc'a' naxbânu chi tz'akal re ru.

⁶The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.

⁶Laj c'alom li nac'anjelac chi cau tento nak a'an li xbên li tâtz'ak ru li racuîmk.

⁷Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

⁷C'oxlan chirix li oxib chi na'leb li xinye âcue ut a' taxak li Kâcua' Jesucristo chitenk'ânk âcue chixtaubal ru lix yâlal.

⁸Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my Good News,

⁸Chijulticok' âcue nak li Jesucristo, a'an xcomoneb li ralal xc'ajol li rey David ut a'an li quicuacli cui'chic chi yo'yo sa' xyânkeb li camenak. A'an a'in li resilal li evangelio li yôquin chixyebal lâin.

⁹in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.

⁹Sa' xc'aba' li evangelio yôquin chixc'ulbal li raylal a'in, ut bac'bôquin chi cadena. Chanchan na-ux re junak k'axal nim xmâc. Usta bac'bôquin, abanan li resil li evangelio tâyemânk yalak bar xban nak li râtin li Dios inc'a' naru xmukbal.

¹⁰Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

¹⁰Jo'can nak nincuy xnumsinquil chixjunil li raylal li ninc'ul sa' xc'aba'eb li sic'bileb ru xban li Dios re nak eb a'an naru te'xtau li lok'laj colba-ib li naxq'ue li Jesucristo ut te'xtau ajcui' lix lok'al chi junelic.

¹¹This saying is faithful: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.

¹¹Li âtin a'in li oc cue xyebal âcue, a'an tz'akal yâl: Cui cocam kochben li Cristo, tâcuânk ajcui' kayu'am kochben.

¹²If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.

¹²Cui takacuy xnumsinquil li raylal, tâq'uehek' ajcui' kacuanquil xban li Dios kochben li Cristo. Ut cui lâo nakatz'ektâna, a'an toxtz'ektâna ajcui' lâo.

¹³If we are faithless, he remains faithful. He can’t deny himself.”

¹³Cuan nak lâo inc'a' nakabânu li c'a'ru nakaye, abanan li Dios tîc xch'ôl ut junelic naxbânu li c'a'ru naxye. A'an inc'a' nacuiban xch'ôl.

¹⁴Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they don’t argue about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

¹⁴Chajultica lix yâlal chiruheb laj pâbanel. Sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Dios chayehak reheb nak che'xcanabak xcuech'inquil ribeb chirix âtin xban nak a'an mâc'a' na-oc cui'. Ca'aj cui' xpo'baleb xch'ôl li neque'abin re naxbânu.

¹⁵Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

¹⁵Chaq'uehak âch'ôl chi c'anjelac chiru li Dios jo' junak tz'akal aj c'anjel mâc'a' c'a'ru tâxutânâk cui'. Chach'olobak chi tz'akal resil li colba-ib chiruheb.

¹⁶But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,

¹⁶Mat-oquen riq'uin jo' mâjo'il serak', li mâc'a' na-oc cui'. Li neque'bânun re chi jo'can k'axal cui'chic neque'xq'ue xch'ôl chixbânunquil li mâusilal.

¹⁷and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

¹⁷Naniman ru li tijleb li neque'xc'ut. Chanchan nak naniman ru junak yajel jo' li cáncer xc'aba'. Jo'can que'xbânu laj Himeneo ut laj Fileto.

¹⁸men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.

¹⁸Eb a'an que'xcanab xpâbanquil li tz'akal yâl ut que'xpâb li tic'ti'. Neque'xye nak ac que'cuacli chi yo'yo eb li camenak, chanqueb. Ut riq'uin a'an cuan li yôqueb chixpo'bal ruheb lix pâbâleb.

¹⁹However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” Numbers 16:5 and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord TR reads “Christ” instead of “the Lord” depart from unrighteousness.”

¹⁹Abanan lix yâlal q'uebil ke xban li Dios inc'a' naru najalman ru. Jo'ca'in tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu: li Dios naxnau ruheb li ralal xc'ajol, ut chixjunileb li te'xc'aba'in xc'aba' li Kâcua', tento nak te'xcanab chi junaj cua li mâusilal.

²⁰Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.

²⁰Sa' junak xnimal ru cab cuan li sec' yîbanbil riq'uin oro ut plata. Ut cuan li ch'och' sec' ut cuan ajcui' li sec' yîbanbil riq'uin che'. Cuan li châbil xc'anjel ut cuan li yalak c'a'ru nac'anjelac cui'.

²¹If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.

²¹Cui junak aj pâbanel naraj tâq'uehek' re jun lix châbil c'anjel xban li Dios, tento nak li jun a'an tixcanab chi junaj cua chixjunil li mâusilal. Cui tixbânu chi jo'can, li jun a'an k'axtesinbilak chic chi c'anjelac chiru li Kâcua' ut cauresinbilak chic chixbânunquil li châbil c'anjel.

²²Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

²²Jo'can utan chatz'ektâna chi junaj cua li inc'a' us li neque'xrahi ru li toj sâjeb. Ut q'ue âch'ôl chicuânk sa' tîquilal ut chatpâbânk chi tz'akal. Charahakeb lâ cuas âcuîtz'in ut chatcuânk sa' usilal riq'uineb chixjunileb. Lâakat jun sa' xyânkeb li tîqueb xch'ôl li neque'tijoc chiru li Dios.

²³But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

²³Mâcua'akat jun sa' xyânkeb li neque'xcuech'i rib chirix tôntil âtin li mâc'a' aj e. Lâat ac nacanau nak li cuech'înc ib junes ra xîc' naxq'ue.

²⁴The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,

²⁴Junak aj c'anjel chiru li Kâcua' mâcua'ak aj sic'ol ra xîc'. Tûlanak ban riq'uineb chixjunileb. Cuânk xna'leb re xc'utbal lix yâlal chiruheb li ras rîtz'in ut nimak xcuyum.

²⁵in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,

²⁵Ut sa' tûlanil chixch'olobak xyâlal reheb li neque'cuech'in rix lix yâlal. Mâre chan nak li Dios tâtenk'ânk reheb chixyot'bal xch'ôleb, chixjalbal xc'a'uxeb re te'xnau ru li yâl.Ut te'risi rib sa' ruk' laj tza li yô chi âlênc reheb re nak inc'a' chic te'xbânu li c'a'ru naraj a'an. Ut te'suk'îk taxak sa' li tz'akal xyâlal.

²⁶and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.

²⁶Ut te'risi rib sa' ruk' laj tza li yô chi âlênc reheb re nak inc'a' chic te'xbânu li c'a'ru naraj a'an. Ut te'suk'îk taxak sa' li tz'akal xyâlal.
