¹Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

¹Jo'can ajcui' lâex, alalbej. Chex-abînk chiru lê na' êyucua' sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' xban nak a'an k'axal us xbânunquil.

²“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:

²Che-oxlok'i lê na' êyucua'. A'an a'in lix bên kataklanquil cuan c'a'ru yechi'inbil ke cui takabânu a'an.

³“that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.” Deuteronomy 5:16

³Ut li yechi'inbil ke, a'an a'in: Cui neque-oxlok'i lê na' êyucua', k'axal us tex-êlk ut tânajtok' ru lê yu'am li tixq'ue li Dios arin sa' ruchich'och'.

⁴You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

⁴Ex na'bej ex yucua'bej, mêchik' xjosk'ileb lê ralal êc'ajol chi mâc'a' rajbal. Cheq'uiresihakeb ban sa' xyâlal riq'uin xk'usbaleb ut riq'uin xtijbaleb sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

⁵Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;

⁵Ex aj c'anjel, chex-abînk chiruheb lê patrón arin sa' ruchich'och'. Chexc'anjelak chiruheb chi anchal êch'ôl ut sa' xyâlal jo' nak nequexc'anjelac chiru li Cristo.

⁶not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

⁶Moco toj yôkeb ta chêrilbal nak têbânu lê c'anjel re nak sahak xch'ôl lê patrón êriq'uin. Chexc'anjelak ban chiru lê patrón jo' nak yôkex chi c'anjelac chiru li Cristo. Chi anchal êch'ôl chebânuhak li naraj li Dios.

⁷with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men;

⁷Chexc'anjelak chi anchal êch'ôl jo' nak yôquex chi c'anjelac chiru li Kâcua' ut mâcua' chiruheb li cuînk.

⁸knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.

⁸Lâex nequenau nak cui châbil têbânu chêjunjûnkal a'an ajcui' li rêkaj têc'ul riq'uin li Kâcua' usta cuan êpatrón usta mâc'a'.

⁹You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

⁹Jo'can ajcui' lâex patrón, jo' nak laj c'anjel nac'anjelac chi anchal xch'ôl chêru, jo'can ajcui' nak lâex têtaklaheb sa' xyâlal. Canabomak xtaklanquileb sa' josk'il. Nequenau nak lâex cuan êpatrón sa' choxa jo' ajcui' eb a'an. Li patrón, a'an li Kâcua' Dios ut a'an moco jun ta sa târil ut jun ta xic' târil.

¹⁰Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

¹⁰Toj cuan c'a'ru nacuaj xyebal êre ut a'an a'in: Che'cacuubresîk lê ch'ôl sa' lê pâbâl riq'uin lix nimal xcuanquilal li Kâcua' li cuan êriq'uin.

¹¹Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

¹¹Jo'can ut chetikibak êrib riq'uin chixjunil lix c'anjelebâl li Dios re nak xakxôkex chi tz'akal ut yôkex chixcolbal êrib chiru laj tza nak yôk chêbalak'inquil.

¹²For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

¹²Moco yôco ta chixyalbal kak'e riq'uin cuînk. Yôco ban chi pletic riq'uin q'uila pây ru chi mâus aj musik'ej li cuanqueb xcuanquil sa' eb li cutan a'in, li neque'taklan sa' ik' ut sa' li ruchich'och' li cuan sa' xk'ojyînal ru li mâc.

¹³Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.

¹³Xban nak nocopletic riq'uin li mâus aj musik'ej, jo'can nak cuânk êriq'uin chixjunil lê c'anjelebâl li q'uebil êre xban li Dios re nak cauhak êrib chixcolbal êrib chiru laj tza yalak jok'e tixyal êrâlenquil.

¹⁴Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

¹⁴Xakxôkex bi' chi cau. A'an a'in li tâc'anjelak chêru re xcolbal êrib chiru laj tza. Li yâl tâc'anjelak jo' xc'âmal êsa' ut li tîquil ch'ôlej tâc'anjelak jo' li ch'îch' naramoc re lê ch'ôl.

¹⁵and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace;

¹⁵Cauresinbilakex re xyebal resil li colba-ib ut a'an tâc'anjelak êre jo' êxâb chêrok.

¹⁶above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.

¹⁶Chirix chixjunil a'in chicuânk ajcui' lê pâbâl. Ut a'an tâc'anjelak êre jo' lê ramleb ch'îch'. Lê pâbâl tâc'anjelak re xcolbal êrib chiru laj tza nak tixyal êrâlenquil. Riq'uin a'in târûk têchup xxamlel lix tzimaj laj tza.

¹⁷And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word from Greek rhema, which means spoken word of God;

¹⁷Li colba-ib tâc'anjelak êre jo' nak nac'anjelac re li soldado lix tz'apbal xjolom. Li Santil Musik'ej tixc'ut chêru li râtin li Dios. A'an tâc'anjelak chêru jo' nak nac'anjelac li ch'îch' chiru li soldado.

¹⁸with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:

¹⁸Ut yo'on cuânkex. Junelic chextijok jo' naxc'ut chêru li Santil Musik'ej. Junelic chextz'âmânk chiru chi anchal êch'ôl nak li Dios tâtenk'ânk êre. Ut chetz'âma chiru nak tixtenk'aheb chixjunileb li ralal xc'ajol li Dios.

¹⁹on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,

¹⁹Ut chextijok ajcui' chicuix lâin re nak chixq'ue taxak cuâtin li Dios re xyebal resil li colba-ib ut chixq'ue taxak xcacuilal inch'ôl chixyebal resil nak li colba-ib reheb ajcui' li mâcua'eb aj judío.

²⁰for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

²⁰Taklanbilin xban li Dios chixyebal li resilal a'an. Ut xban xyebal resil li colba-ib nak cuanquin chi prêxil anakcuan. Chextijok chicuix re nak tinch'olob xyâlal li colba-ib chi cau inch'ôl jo' q'uebil cue xbânunquil xban li Dios.

²¹But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things;

²¹Ninc'oxla nak têraj tênau chanru cuanquin ut c'a'ru yôquin chixbânunquil. Jo'can nak yôquin chixtaklanquil laj Tíquico êriq'uin. A'an jun li hermân k'axal raro kaban, ut châbil aj c'anjel chiru li Dios. A'an tixye êre chanru cuanquin.

²²whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.

²²Yôquin chixtaklanquil laj Tíquico êriq'uin re xserak'inquil êre chanru cuanco arin. Ut nak tênau chanru cuanco, chic'ojlâk taxak êch'ôl riq'uin a'an.

²³Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²³A' taxak li tuktûquil usilal li naxq'ue li Acuabej Dios ut li naxq'ue li Kâcua' Jesucristo chi cuânk êriq'uin lâex chêjunilex aj pâbanel. Ut chi cuânk taxak êriq'uin li rahoc ib ut lix cacuilal êch'ôl sa' lê pâbâl.Chi cuânk taxak li rusilal li Dios êriq'uin chêjunilex lâex li nequexrahoc re li Kâcua' Jesucristo chi anchal êch'ôl ut chi junelic. Jo'can taxak.

²⁴Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.

²⁴Chi cuânk taxak li rusilal li Dios êriq'uin chêjunilex lâex li nequexrahoc re li Kâcua' Jesucristo chi anchal êch'ôl ut chi junelic. Jo'can taxak.
