Xik chi uub’ej

With God’s help, I can press forward even when I face obstacles.

Chi tenq’anb’ilin xb’aan li Dios, naru ninxik chi uub’ej us ta wankeb’ li ch’a’ajkilal.

Chiqajunilo wan qach’a’ajkilal sa’ li yu’am. Wan naq li qach’a’ajkilal nokoxram re naq ink’a’ nokoru chixtz’aqob’resinkil ru li naqaj xb’aanunkil. Laj Nefi, jun profeet ut aj jolominel sa’ lix Hu laj Mormon, kixnumsi k’iila ch’a’ajkilal. Chiru chixjunil lix yu’am a’an kik’utuk ut kik’anjelak chiru lix tenamit. A’an kixnaw naq te’xnumsi ninqi ch’a’ajkilal, ut a’an kiraj xtenq’ankileb’ chixnawb’al chan ru te’kuyuq. Laj Nefi kixye:

“Teetiikisi eeribʼ chi uubʼej chi xaqxookex junelik rikʼin li Kristo, rikʼin tzʼaqal xlemtzʼunkil li yoʼonink, ut rikʼin rahok choqʼ re li Dios ut rehebʼ chixjunil li winq” (2 Nefi 31:20).
