< Luke 3 >

1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea, and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina;
Pa ri roꞌlajuj junabꞌ rech ri utaqanik ri Tiberio César, che riꞌ are taqanel ri Poncio Pilato pa Judea. Ri Herodes are nim taqanel pa Galilea. Ri Felipe rachalal ri Herodes are qꞌatal tzij pa Iturea xuqujeꞌ pa Traconite. Ri Lisanias are qꞌatal tzij pa ri tinimit Abilinia.
2 Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
Ri Anás rachiꞌl ri Caifás are kinimaꞌqil ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel. Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ, ri utzij ri Dios xtaq che ri Juan ri ukꞌojol ri Zacarías, are kꞌo pa ri katzꞌinow ulew.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
Ri Juan xbꞌin chunaqaj ri nimaꞌ Jordán, xutzijoj chike ri winaq chi utz kabꞌan kiqasanaꞌ rech kakiqꞌalajisaj chi xkikꞌex kanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ ketzalij rukꞌ ri Dios, rech kakuyutaj ri kimak.
4 As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
Ri Isaías xutzijoj la rij ri Juan are xubꞌij: Uchꞌabꞌal jun winaq ri kuraq uchiꞌ pa ri katzꞌinow ulew, kubꞌij: Chisukꞌumaj ri ubꞌe ri Ajawxel, chibꞌana sukꞌum che.
5 Every valley shall be filled; and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight; and the rough ways plain;
Kenojisax na ri siwan, konojel ri juyubꞌ kuꞌx na leaꞌnik, ri kotokaꞌq taq bꞌe kesukꞌumax na xuqujeꞌ ri abꞌaj taq bꞌe kechꞌajchꞌobꞌex na.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Konojel kakil na ri koltajem ri kutaq loq ri Dios.
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?
Sibꞌalaj kꞌi winaq xoꞌpan rukꞌ ri Juan rech kubꞌan kiqasanaꞌ. Ri Juan xubꞌij chike: Kijaꞌl taq kumatz, ¿jachin xbꞌin chiꞌwe chi kixkwinik kixanimaj choch ri rayowal ri Dios ri kape na?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance; and do not begin to say, We have Abraham for our father. For I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Qas utz chixnoꞌjinoq rech qas kaqꞌalajinik chi qas xikꞌex ikꞌuꞌx. Man kixkwin ta kꞌut kibꞌij: “Are qatat ri Abraham.” Rumal kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri Dios kakwinik kubꞌano chi kekꞌiy ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Abraham chike we abꞌaj riꞌ.
9 For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
Ri ikaj xaq yaꞌtal chik rukꞌ ri ukꞌaꞌmalil ri cheꞌ. Ronojel kꞌu cheꞌ ri man kuya ta uwach kaqasax na, xuqujeꞌ kakꞌyaq na bꞌik pa ri qꞌaqꞌ.
10 And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq xkibꞌij: ¿Jas rajawaxik kaqabꞌano?
11 And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner.
Ri Juan, xubꞌij chike: We kꞌo kebꞌ akamiꞌx, chaya jun rech ri maj rech. We kꞌo awa, chaya ke ri kanumik.
12 And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
Xuqujeꞌ xoꞌpan ri toqꞌil taq alkabal rech kabꞌan kiqasanaꞌ, xkita che ri Juan: Ajtij, ¿jas rajawaxik kaqabꞌano?
13 But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
Ri Juan xubꞌij chike: Man kitoqꞌij ta uwiꞌ ri alkabal ri ix taqom chutoqꞌixik.
14 And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man; neither calumniate any man; and be content with your pay.
Ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit xkibꞌij: ¿Jas rajawaxik kaqabꞌan uj? Ri Juan xubꞌij chike: Man kitoqꞌij ta pwaq chike ri winaq, man kibꞌan ta bꞌanoj tzij chikij ri winaq ri maj kimak, kuꞌl ikꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ri tojbꞌal iwe.
15 And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
Rumal kꞌu cher ri winaq kayeꞌm ri upetibꞌal ri Mesías are kakaj kaketaꞌmaj we are Mesías ri Juan.
16 John answered, saying unto all: I indeed baptize you with water; but there shall come one mightier that I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Ri Juan xutzalij uwach ri kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ xubꞌij: In kinbꞌan iqasanaꞌ rukꞌ jaꞌ, kape kꞌu na jun ri nim reqeleꞌn chinuwach in, man taqal ta chwe kinux jun patanijel, xuqujeꞌ man taqal ta chwe kinkir ri jatꞌibꞌal rech ri uxajabꞌ. Areꞌ kubꞌan iqasanaꞌ rukꞌ ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ qꞌaqꞌ.
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
Areꞌ xaq rayeꞌm kujosqꞌij ri tiriko, rukꞌ ri uchaꞌbꞌal. Xuqujeꞌ kumulij bꞌik ri utiriko, kuya pa ri utarroz. Kuporoj na ri pajo pa jun qꞌaqꞌ ri maj ukꞌisik.
18 And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
Sibꞌalaj kꞌi ri xubꞌan ri Juan chuqꞌalajisaxik chike ri winaq ri utz laj taq tzij.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done;
Ri Juan xuqujeꞌ xuyaj ri Herodes Antipas chikiwach konojel ri winaq rumal xkꞌuliꞌk rukꞌ ri Herodías, rixoqil ri rachalal, je xuqujeꞌ rumal kꞌi itzel taq jastaq ri ubꞌanom,
20 He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
rumal riꞌ ri Herodes xukoj ri Juan pa cheꞌ, xnimar ri umak.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
Jun qꞌijal, ri Juan are tajin kubꞌan kiqasanaꞌ e kꞌi winaq, xubꞌan uqasanaꞌ ri Jesús. Are tajin kubꞌan chꞌawem ri Jesús xjaqataj ri kaj.
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
Xilitaj kꞌut xqaj loq ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel puꞌwiꞌ ri Jesús jeꞌ jas jun palomax. Xtataj xuqujeꞌ jun chꞌabꞌal pa ri kaj ri kubꞌij: At at loqꞌalaj nukꞌojol, sibꞌalaj kaya kiꞌkotem chwe.
