Luke 18
1 Then he spoke a parable to them about how they should always pray and not become discouraged,
Ri Jesús xutzijoj jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chike ri utijoxelabꞌ chukꞌutik chi sibꞌalaj choqꞌaqꞌ wi kakibꞌan chꞌawem man kakꞌis taj ta kikꞌuꞌx.
2 saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect people.
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 Now there was a widow in that city, and she came often to him, saying, 'Help me get justice against my opponent.'
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 For a long time he was not willing to help her, but after a while he said to himself, 'Though I do not fear God or 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 causes me trouble, I will help her get justice, so that she does not wear me out by her constant 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 Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.
Xubꞌij kꞌu ri Ajawxel Jesús: Qas kichomaj rij ri xubꞌij ri itzel qꞌatal tzij.
7 Now will not God also bring justice to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay long over 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 say to you that he will bring justice to them speedily. Even so, when the Son of Man comes, will he indeed 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 Then he also spoke this parable to some who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous and who despised other people,
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—the 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 these things about himself, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, unrighteous people, 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 two times every 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 at a distance, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but hit his breast, saying, 'God, have mercy on 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 say to you, this man went back down to his house justified rather than the other, because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but everyone 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 The people were also bringing to him their infants so 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 But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Permit the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them. For the kingdom of God belongs to such ones.
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 Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a child will definitely not enter 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 must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
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 said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except God alone.
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 kill, do not steal, do not testify falsely, honor your father and 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 The ruler said, “All these things I have obeyed from the time I was a youth.”
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 that, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. You must sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven—and 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 the ruler heard these things, he became extremely sad, for he was very rich.
Are xutabꞌej rech ri achi, xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ri ranimaꞌ, rumal sibꞌalaj qꞌinom.
24 Then Jesus, seeing him, became very sad and said, “How difficult it is for those who are rich to enter the kingdom of God!
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 go through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
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 hearing it said, “Then who can be saved?”
Ri winaq ri xetow ri xubꞌij ri Jesús, xkibꞌij: ¿Jachin kꞌu riꞌ kakwin chukolik ribꞌ?
27 Jesus answered, “The things which are impossible with people are possible with God.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri Dios kwinel chubꞌanik ri man kakwin ta ri achi che.
28 Peter said, “Well, we have left everything that is our own and have followed you.”
Ri Pedro xubꞌij che: Chilampe la, ri uj xqaya kan ronojel ri qajastaq rumal tereneꞌxik la.
29 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, I say to you that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri winaq ri xuya kan rachoch, rixoqil, e rachalal, utat unan xuqujeꞌ e ralkꞌwaꞌl
31 After he gathered the twelve to himself, he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that have been written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.
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 given over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon.
Kajach na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, kayoqꞌ na, kabꞌix na kꞌax taq tzij che, kachubꞌax na upalaj.
33 After whipping him, they will kill him, and 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, and this word 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 It came about that, as Jesus approached Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting by the road begging,
Are xopan ri Jesús chuxukut ri tinimit Jericó, kꞌo jun moy tꞌuyul chuchiꞌ ri bꞌe, kuta ulimoxna.
36 and hearing a crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
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 So the blind man cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.”
Ri moy xuraqaqej uchiꞌ, xubꞌij: Jesús, Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri David, cheꞌl kuꞌx la chwe.
39 The ones who were walking ahead rebuked the blind man, telling him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, “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 Jesus stood still and commanded that the man be brought to him. Then when the blind man was near, Jesus 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 for you?” He said, “Lord, I want to receive my sight.”
¿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 this, gave praise to God.
Aninaq xkaꞌyik, xteriꞌ kꞌu chirij ri Jesús, kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios, konojel kꞌu ri winaq ri xkilo xkiqꞌijilaꞌj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios.
