¹For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

¹Lâin laj Pablo. Cuanquin chi prêxil xban nak ninc'anjelac chiru li Cristo, ut xban nak ninye resil li colba-ib êre lâex li mâcua'ex aj judío.

²if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;

²Ac xerabi ta na resil nak tenebanbil sa' inbên xban li Dios xyebal êre nak li ruxtân li Dios êre ajcui' lâex li mâcua'ex aj judío.

³how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,

³Li Dios, a'an quic'utuc re chicuu li na'leb a'an, li mukmu nak quicuan chak junxil. Ac xintz'îba ca'ch'in resil êre chirix li na'leb a'in.

⁴by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;

⁴Nak têril xsa' li hu li xintz'îba êriq'uin, tênau nak ninnau chi tz'akal lix yâlal chirix li Cristo, li mukmu nak quicuan.

⁵which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

⁵Junxil mâ ani nata'oc ru lix yâlal li mukmu nak quicuan chak. Abanan anakcuan li Santil Musik'ej quixc'ut lix yâlal chiruheb li profeta ut chiku ajcui' lâo lix apóstol.

⁶that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

⁶Li xyâlal li na'leb li mukmu nak quicuan chak junxil, a'an a'in: nak lâex li mâcua'ex aj judío, textz'akônk li colba-ib li naxq'ue li Dios kochben lâo aj judío. Lâex ralal xc'ajolex ajcui' li Dios ut textz'akônk ajcui' riq'uin li yechi'inbil ke xban li Dios xban nak colbilex chic sa' xc'aba' li Cristo.

⁷of which I was made a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

⁷Yal rusilal li Dios nak quixq'ue sa' inbên xyebal resil li colba-ib ut quixq'ue incuanquil re tinbânu lix c'anjel.

⁸To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

⁸Lâin li k'axal cubenak incuanquil sa' xyânkeb chixjunileb li ralal xc'ajol li Dios. Abanan yal xban lix nimal ruxtân li Dios quixq'ue cue li c'anjel a'in re xch'olobanquil chêru lix yâlal chirix lix nimal ruxtân li Cristo ut li lok'laj colba-ib sa' xc'aba' a'an.

⁹and to make all men see what is the administration TR reads “fellowship” instead of “administration” of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ;

⁹Jo'can nak tento tinch'olob yalak bar lix yâlal li na'leb li mukmu nak quicuan chak junxil. Chalen chak sa' xticlajic chixjunil li na'leb a'in mukmu chak xban li Dios li quiyîban re chixjunil.

¹⁰to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

¹⁰Li Dios quixbânu chi jo'ca'in re xc'utbal chiruheb li cuanqueb xcuanquil sa' choxa nak numtajenak xna'leb li Dios. Te'xnau nak numtajenak xna'leb nak te'xq'ue retal nak quixjunaji ruheb laj judío riq'uineb li mâcua'eb aj judío chok' ralal xc'ajol.

¹¹according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;

¹¹Ac c'ûbanbil chak junxil chi jo'ca'in xban li Dios nak li Kâcua' Jesucristo tixjunajiheb ru li ralal xc'ajol.

¹²in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

¹²Xban nak ac xkapâb li Cristo, junajo chic riq'uin. Jo'can nak nakanau chi tz'akal nak naru chic tocuânk chi sum âtin riq'uin li Dios.

¹³Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.

¹³Jo'can nak nintz'âma chêru nak inc'a' tâch'inânk êch'ôl xban nak yôquin chixc'ulbal li raylal xban xyebal êre xyâlal li colba-ib. Chisahok' ban êch'ôl xban nak re êtenk'anquil xinc'ul li raylal.

¹⁴For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁴Nak ninc'oxlac chirix lix na'leb li Dios riq'uin chixjunil li quixbânu, nincuik'ib cuib ut ninbantioxin chiru li Acuabej Dios.

¹⁵from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

¹⁵Li Acuabej Dios a'an xyucua'eb chixjunil li cuanqueb sa' choxa, jo' ajcui' sa' ruchich'och'.

¹⁶that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;

¹⁶K'axal nim li rusilal li Dios. Jo'can nak nintz'âma chiru nak li Santil Musik'ej chiq'uehok êcuanquilal ut xcacuilal êch'ôl sa' lê pâbâl.

¹⁷that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

¹⁷Ut nintz'âma ajcui' chiru nak chicuânk lê pâbâl re nak cuânk li Cristo êriq'uin chi tz'akal. Têtau taxak xcacuil lê ch'ôl riq'uin xrâbal li Dios jo' eb ajcui' lê ras êrîtz'in.

¹⁸may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

¹⁸Nintz'âma chiru li Dios nak chetauhak taxak ru, jo' ajcui' chixjunileb laj pâbanel, nak k'axal nim li karâbal xban li Cristo. Numtajenak lix rahom li Cristo. Mâc'a' xbisbal ut mâ ani tâta'ok ru lix lok'al lix rahom li Cristo.

¹⁹and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

¹⁹Mâ jok'e târûk takatau ru chi tz'akal lix rahom xban nak mâc'a' roso'jic ut k'axal lok'. Nintz'âma chiru li Dios nak tixc'ut chêru nak c'ajo' nequexra li Cristo, ut chinujak taxak lê ch'ôl riq'uin xnimajcual xcuanquil.

²⁰Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

²⁰Lok'oninbil taxak li Dios li k'axal nim xcuanquil chixbânunquil nabal chiru li nakatz'âma. Riq'uin xnimal xcuanquil nac'anjelac sa' li kâm ut k'axal nim xcuanquil chixbânunquil nabal chiru li nakoybeni.Lok'oninbil taxak li Dios anakcuan ut chi junelic k'e cutan kaban lâo aj pâbanel xban nak junajo chic riq'uin li Cristo. Jo'can taxak.

²¹to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

²¹Lok'oninbil taxak li Dios anakcuan ut chi junelic k'e cutan kaban lâo aj pâbanel xban nak junajo chic riq'uin li Cristo. Jo'can taxak.
