Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
Ri Jesús xutzijoj jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chike ri utijoxelabꞌ chukꞌutik chi sibꞌalaj choqꞌaqꞌ wi kakibꞌan chꞌawem man kakꞌis taj ta kikꞌuꞌx.
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God and did not respect man.
Xubꞌij kꞌu chike: Kꞌo jun qꞌatal tzij pa jun tinimit ri man kuxiꞌj ta ribꞌ cho ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ man kuꞌnimaj ta ri winaq.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
Pa ri tinimit xuqujeꞌ kꞌo jun malkaꞌn ixoq ri kꞌo jun uchꞌoꞌj, xeꞌ kꞌu rukꞌ ri qꞌatal tzij chutayik chi kuqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri ukꞌulel.
4 He would not for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
Pune naj qꞌotaj man xraj taj xubꞌan ri qꞌatoj tzij, kꞌisbꞌal kꞌu rech xubꞌij: “Pune man kinxiꞌj ta wibꞌ cho ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ man keꞌ ta nukꞌuꞌx rukꞌ jun chike.
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
Xa kꞌu rumal man kel ta we ixoq riꞌ wukꞌ, kinbꞌan waꞌ ri qꞌatoj tzij, rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ kinqꞌiꞌtaj are kape sibꞌalaj kꞌi mul chiwilik.”
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Xubꞌij kꞌu ri Ajawxel Jesús: Qas kichomaj rij ri xubꞌij ri itzel qꞌatal tzij.
7 Will not God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
¿La man kꞌu kuqꞌat tzij ri Dios kukꞌ ri winaq ri uchaꞌom, we chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ kechꞌaw rukꞌ? ¿La kꞌamaꞌtam ta kꞌu riꞌ kutzalij uwach ri kichꞌawem?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Qas kubꞌan wi na riꞌ ri qꞌatoj tzij pa kiwiꞌ aninaq, pune jeriꞌ are kape ri Ukꞌojol ri Achi, ¿la kulu winaq ri kuꞌl kikꞌuꞌx che ri Dios?
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun winaq ri kuꞌl kikꞌuꞌx chibꞌil taq kibꞌ, e sukꞌ kakinaꞌo, kaketzelaj kiwach ri e nikꞌaj winaq chik. Rumal riꞌ ri Jesús xutzijoj jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chike:
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
E kꞌo kebꞌ achyabꞌ, xebꞌe pa ri Templo chubꞌanik chꞌawem, ri jun fariseo, ri jun chik jun toqꞌil alkabal.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
Are xubꞌan chꞌawem ri fariseo xubꞌij: “Kintyoxin che la o Dios, rumal man in junam ta kukꞌ ri eleqꞌomabꞌ taq achyabꞌ, e bꞌanal taq kꞌax, e kakabꞌ kixoqil, xuqujeꞌ man in junam ta rukꞌ we achi riꞌ we toqꞌil alkabal.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
Ri in kinqꞌip wibꞌ che nuwaꞌim kebꞌ mul pa wuqubꞌ qꞌij, xuqujeꞌ kinya ri ulajujil rech ronojel ri nuchꞌekoj.”
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
Are kꞌu ri toqꞌil alkabal naj xkanaj wi kanoq, xa ta ne kuwaꞌjilisaj ri uwach cho ri kaj, kutꞌikitaꞌ ri uwach ukꞌuꞌx xubꞌij: “Cheꞌl kꞌuꞌx la chwe o Dios, wetaꞌm chi in ajmak.”
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi we achi riꞌ, sukꞌ ranimaꞌ xtzalij cho rachoch man je ta kꞌu ri fariseo, rumal iwetaꞌm chi xapachin ri kunimarisaj ribꞌ kanitzꞌarisax na uqꞌij, xapachin xuqujeꞌ ri kumochꞌ ribꞌ kanimarisax na uqꞌij.
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Xekꞌam kꞌu bꞌik akꞌalabꞌ cho ri Jesús rech kuya ri uqꞌabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ. Are xkil ri tijoxelabꞌ, xeꞌkiyaj ri e kꞌamowinaq bꞌik.
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
Ri Jesús kꞌut xuꞌsikꞌij ri akꞌalabꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij chike ri winaq: Chiya bꞌe chike ri akꞌalabꞌ kepe wukꞌ, man kiꞌqꞌil taj, rumal chi are ajchoqꞌe ri ajawarem rech ri Dios ri winaq ri kakubꞌiꞌ kikꞌuꞌx jetaq ri akꞌalabꞌ.
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever does not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, ri man kukꞌamawaꞌj ta ri ajawarem rech ri Dios jetaq ri kubꞌan jun laj akꞌal, man kwinel ta riꞌ kok chilaꞌ.
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit consummate (aiōnios g166) life?"
Jun chike ri kꞌamal bꞌe xuta che ri Jesús: Utz laj ajtij, ¿jas rajawaxik kinbꞌano chi rechabꞌexik ri jun alik kꞌaslemal? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: ¿Jas che kabꞌij chi in utz? Man kꞌo ta chi jun winaq ri utz, xwi ri Dios.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
Awetaꞌm ri kubꞌij ri taqanik: man katzukuj ta chi jun awixoqil, man kabꞌan ta kamisanik, man katelaqꞌ taj, man kabꞌan ta bꞌanoj tzij chirij jun winaq chik, xuqujeꞌ chaꞌnimaj ri atat anan.
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
Ri achi xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Pa ri walkꞌaꞌlal numajim la unimaxik waꞌ we ri, kꞌa xaq jeꞌ ne kinnimaj kamik.
22 When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
Are xuta ri Jesús ri xubꞌij ri achi che, xubꞌij: Xa chi jun jastaq kajawataj chawe, chakꞌayij kan ronojel ri kꞌo awukꞌ. Kꞌa te riꞌ chajacha ri rajil chike ri e mebꞌaibꞌ, kayaꞌtaj kꞌu na aqꞌinomal chilaꞌ chikaj. Kꞌa te riꞌ chatan loq chinatereneꞌj.
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Are xutabꞌej rech ri achi, xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ri ranimaꞌ, rumal sibꞌalaj qꞌinom.
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
Are xril ri Jesús chi xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ranimaꞌ xubꞌij: Sibꞌalaj kꞌax okem ke ri qꞌinomabꞌ pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
Are man kꞌax taj kubꞌan jun kamey kikꞌow pa ri uteqꞌal ri bꞌaq rech tꞌisoꞌmabꞌal cho ri jun qꞌinom ri karaj kok pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
Ri winaq ri xetow ri xubꞌij ri Jesús, xkibꞌij: ¿Jachin kꞌu riꞌ kakwin chukolik ribꞌ?
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri Dios kwinel chubꞌanik ri man kakwin ta ri achi che.
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
Ri Pedro xubꞌij che: Chilampe la, ri uj xqaya kan ronojel ri qajastaq rumal tereneꞌxik la.
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri winaq ri xuya kan rachoch, rixoqil, e rachalal, utat unan xuqujeꞌ e ralkꞌwaꞌl
31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
Ri Jesús xukꞌam bꞌik ri kabꞌlajuj utijoxelabꞌ xaq kitukel, xubꞌij chike: Chanim kujeꞌ pa Jerusalén, chilaꞌ kakꞌulmataj wi ronojel ri xkitzꞌibꞌaj ri e qꞌalajisal taq tzij rech ri Dios kakꞌulmataj na rukꞌ ri Ukꞌojol ri Achi.
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
Kajach na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, kayoqꞌ na, kabꞌix na kꞌax taq tzij che, kachubꞌax na upalaj.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
Karapux na, xuqujeꞌ kakamisax na, xa kꞌu kakꞌastaj na churox qꞌij.
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
Ri tijoxelabꞌ man xkichꞌobꞌ taj ri xbꞌix chike. Rumal cher xawax chikiwach ri kel kubꞌij we jastaq riꞌ.
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
Are xopan ri Jesús chuxukut ri tinimit Jericó, kꞌo jun moy tꞌuyul chuchiꞌ ri bꞌe, kuta ulimoxna.
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
Are xuto chi e kꞌi winaq tajin kiꞌkꞌowik, xuta chike ri winaq jas ri tajin kakꞌulmatajik.
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Ri winaq xkibꞌij che: Are ri Jesús aj Nazaret ri tajin kikꞌow waral.
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Ri moy xuraqaqej uchiꞌ, xubꞌij: Jesús, Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri David, cheꞌl kuꞌx la chwe.
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
Ri winaq ri e nabꞌe apanoq choch xkibꞌij che chi katanik, xa kꞌu kꞌo na ri xubꞌan churaqik uchiꞌ: Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri David, che la kuꞌx la chwe.
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
Xtakꞌiꞌ kꞌu ri Jesús, xtaqan chukꞌamik apanoq ri achi. Are xqet chuxukut, ri Jesús xuta che:
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
¿Jas kawaj kinbꞌan chawe? Ri moy xubꞌij: Ajawxel, kawaj kinkaꞌyik.
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Chakꞌamawaꞌj ri akaꞌyebꞌal. Xatutzir rumal ri akojobꞌal.
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
Aninaq xkaꞌyik, xteriꞌ kꞌu chirij ri Jesús, kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios, konojel kꞌu ri winaq ri xkilo xkiqꞌijilaꞌj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios.
