¹Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers or, superintendents, or bishops and servants Or, deacons :

¹Lâin laj Pablo. Yôquin chixtz'îbanquil li hu a'in cuochben laj Timoteo. Lâo aj c'anjel chiru li Jesucristo. Li hu a'in, a'an êre lâex li nequexc'amoc be sa' xyânkeb laj pâbanel aran Filipos ut êre ajcui' lâex li nequextenk'an sa' li c'anjel aran. Ut êre ajcui' chêjunilex lâex aj pâbanel aran Filipos, li junaj chic êru riq'uin li Jesucristo.

²Grace to you, and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²Chicuânk taxak êriq'uin li usilal ut li tuktûquilal li naxq'ue li Dios li kaYucua' ut li naxq'ue li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

³I thank my God whenever I remember you,

³Rajlal nak nequexjultico' cue, ninbantioxi chiru li Dios.

⁴always in every request of mine on behalf of you all making my requests with joy,

⁴Ut junelic nintijoc chêrix chi sa sa' inch'ôl.

⁵for your partnership The word translated “partnership” (koinonia) also means “fellowship” and “sharing.” in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;

⁵Nasaho' sa' inch'ôl xban nak chalen nak xexpâban xeq'ue êch'ôl chintenk'anquil xyebal resil li colba-ib toj chalen anakcuan.

⁶being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

⁶Chalen nak xexpâban, li Dios yô chi c'anjelac êriq'uin. Ut ninnau nak junelic textenk'a toj tâtz'aklok ru lê pâbâl sa' li cutan nak tol-êlk cui'chic li Jesucristo.

⁷It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.

⁷Xban nak nequeq'ue êch'ôl chi c'anjelac chiru li Cristo, jo'can nak junelic nequexinc'oxla ut k'axal sa sa' inch'ôl êriq'uin. Lâex xextz'akon cuochben riq'uin li usilal li naxq'ue li Cristo. Xextz'akon ajcui' cuiq'uin riq'uin rahil ch'ôlej nak cuanquin chi prêxil ut xextz'akon ajcui' cuiq'uin nak yôquin chixch'olobanquil xyâlal li colba-ib reheb li cuanqueb xcuanquil re nak te'xnau nak tz'akal yâl li c'a'ru yôco chixch'olobanquil.

⁸For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

⁸Li Dios naxnau nak c'ajo' nequexinra. Ut li rahoc a'in, a'an q'uebil cue xban li Cristo.

⁹This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;

⁹Ut li nintz'âma chiru li Dios nak nintijoc chêrix, a'an a'in: nak k'axal cui'chic cherahak êrib chi ribil êrib. Ut chinumtâk taxak li rahoc ut chiq'uehek' taxak êna'leb re xtaubal bar cuan li tz'akal yâl.

¹⁰so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ;

¹⁰Nintz'âma chiru li Dios nak textenk'a re nak junelic tênau c'a'ru li us ut c'a'ru li inc'a' us. Ut tîcak taxak lê ch'ôl re nak mâ ani tâcuech'înk êrix chalen nak tol-êlk cui'chic li Jesucristo.

¹¹being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

¹¹Ut riq'uin li châbilal li q'uebil êre xban li Jesucristo, nequeq'ue xlok'al li Dios.

¹²Now I desire to have you know, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;

¹²Ex inhermân, nacuaj nak tênau nak chixjunil li yôquin chixc'ulbal, a'an yô chi c'anjelac re xyebal resil li colba-ib yalak bar.

¹³so that it became evident to the whole palace or, praetorian guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;

¹³Cuan xyâlal nak xine'xq'ue sa' tz'alam. Eb laj ilol prêx jo'queb ajcui' chixjunileb li cuanqueb sa' li palacio neque'xnau nak cuanquin sa' tz'alam xban nak ninc'anjelac chiru li Cristo.

¹⁴and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

¹⁴Ut nabaleb laj pâbanel xe'xcacuubresi xch'ôleb sa' xpâbâleb sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' xban nak xe'xq'ue retal nak cau inch'ôl usta cuanquin chi prêxil sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo. Ut neque'xch'olob xyâlal li râtin li Dios chi mâc'a' xxiuheb.

¹⁵Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

¹⁵Yâl nak cuan li neque'xye resil li Cristo yal xban nak niquine'xcakali ut niquine'xcuech'i. Abanan cuan ajcui' li neque'xye resil li Cristo chi anchal xch'ôleb ut sa' xyâlal.

¹⁶The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;

¹⁶Neque'xch'olob xyâlal xban nak niquine'xra ut neque'xnau nak cuanquin chi prêxil xban nak ninq'ue xcuanquil li colba-ib.

¹⁷but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

¹⁷Aban li jun ch'ol chic neque'xye resil li Cristo yal xban nak cuan c'a'ru neque'xra ut moco chi anchal ta xch'ôleb neque'xbânu. Neque'xbânu chi jo'can yal re xq'uebal xrahil inch'ôl nak cuanquin chi prêxil.

¹⁸What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

¹⁸Abanan mâc'a' naxye. Usta chi anchal xch'ôleb, usta inc'a', yôqueb chixyebal resil li Jesucristo. Ut nasaho' inch'ôl riq'uin a'an.

¹⁹For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

¹⁹Ut junelic tâsahok' inch'ôl xban nak ninnau nak yôquex chi tijoc chicuix. Ut li Santil Musik'ej natenk'an cue. Jo'can nak nasaho' sa' inch'ôl xban nak ninnau nak chixjunil li ninc'ul, li Dios tixsuk'isi chok' usilal chok' cue.

²⁰according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

²⁰Inc'a' nacuaj xxutânobresinquil cuib riq'uin xbânunquil li c'a'ak re ru inc'a' us. Nacuaj ban nak junelic cuânk xcacuilal inch'ôl re xyebal resil li Jesucristo. Nacuaj xq'uebal xlok'al li Cristo anakcuan ut chi junelic riq'uin li ninbânu ut riq'uin ajcui' lin camic.

²¹For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

²¹Lâin, nak toj yo'yôquin, cuanquin chi sum âtin riq'uin li Cristo. Abanan k'axal raj cui'chic us li câmc chok' cue xban nak ninnau nak tinxic riq'uin.

²²But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.

²²Abanan cui li Dios toj tixq'ue inyu'am sa' ruchich'och' re nak tinc'anjelak chiru li Kâcua', inc'a' ninnau bar cuan li k'axal us chok' cue. ¿Ma us nak yo'yôquin malaj ut us nak tincâmk?

²³But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

²³Ch'a'aj chok' cue xnaubal bar cuan li k'axal us. Nacuaj raj câmc re nak tinxic riq'uin li Cristo. A'an raj li k'axal us chok' cue lâin.

²⁴Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

²⁴Abanan chok' êre lâex, us nak yo'yôkin.

²⁵Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

²⁵Ninnau chi tz'akal nak naru texintenk'a. Jo'can nak ninnau nak tincuânk sa' êyânk re êtenk'anquil. Texintenk'a re nak sahak sa' êch'ôl nak yôkex chi q'uîc sa' lê pâbâl.

²⁶that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

²⁶Ninc'oxla nak tincuulak cui'chic êriq'uin ut nak têril cui'chic cuu, tâsahok' sa' lê ch'ôl sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo.

²⁷Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

²⁷Li k'axal lok' xbânunquil, a'an a'in: Chexcuânk sa' xyâlal riq'uineb lê ras êrîtz'in jo' êc'ulub xban nak lâex ac xepâb li Jesucristo. Usta cuanquin êriq'uin, usta mâ anihin, nacuaj rabinquil resil nak cau êch'ôl sa' lê pâbâl. Ut nacuaj ajcui' rabinquil nak junaj lê ch'ôl ut junaj êc'a'ux chixyebal resil li colba-ib sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo.

²⁸and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

²⁸Inc'a' texxucuak chiruheb li xic' neque'iloc êre. Cui lâex inc'a' texxucuak, eb a'an te'xq'ue retal nak lâex texcolek' ut eb a'an te'sachek'. Ut li Kâcua' Dios, a'an li tâc'utuk re li na'leb a'in chiruheb.

²⁹Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

²⁹Q'uebil êre lê mâtan xban li Dios re xpâbanquil li Cristo. Ut moco ca'aj cui' ta têc'ul li rusilal re xpâbanquil. Usilal aj ban cui' nak q'uebil êre xc'ulbal li raylal sa' xc'aba' li Cristo.Ac xeril chanru nak ninyal ink'e chixq'uebal xcuanquil li colba-ib ut nequerabi resil nak toj yôquin ajcui' xyalbal ink'e. Ut nequeyal ajcui' êk'e lâex xq'uebal xcuanquil li colba-ib cuochbenex.

³⁰having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.

³⁰Ac xeril chanru nak ninyal ink'e chixq'uebal xcuanquil li colba-ib ut nequerabi resil nak toj yôquin ajcui' xyalbal ink'e. Ut nequeyal ajcui' êk'e lâex xq'uebal xcuanquil li colba-ib cuochbenex.
