Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled amongst us,
Loqꞌalaj Teófilo: E kꞌi ri winaq ri xkaj xkitzꞌibꞌaj pa cholaj ri tzijobꞌelil chrij ri qas xkꞌulmataj waral chiqaxoꞌl.
2 even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
Are waꞌ ri xkikꞌut loq chiqawach ri qas xiꞌlow ronojel ri xkꞌulmatajik pa ri majibꞌal re, ri e tzijol taq re ri utz laj tzij.
3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
Ri in xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj utz rilik xuqujeꞌ usolixik xinbꞌano rech xinwetaꞌmaj ronojel ri ucholajil ri jastaq ri xkꞌulmatajik qas pa ri majibꞌal rech. Rumal waꞌ xinchomaj utzꞌibꞌaxik chawe pa ucholajil, nimalaj Teófilo,
4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
rech kawetaꞌmaj ri qas tzij chrij ri kꞌutuꞌn ri yaꞌom chawe.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Pa taq ri qꞌij che riꞌ are taqanel ri Herodes pa ri Judea, kꞌo jun chꞌawenel cho ri Dios ubꞌiꞌ Zacarías jun chike ri wok e rijaꞌl ri Abías, ri rixoqil are ri Elisabet, rijaꞌl ri Aarón.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Kikꞌulajal e utz laj taq winaq, sukꞌ kanimaꞌ cho ri Dios. Xeniman che ronojel ri utaqanik ri Dios. Man kꞌo ta etzelal xkibꞌano.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
Maj kꞌu e kal rumal cher ri Elisabet man kakwin taj kuya ral pa ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ e nimaq taq winaq chik.
8 Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division
Jun qꞌijal ri Zacarías are tajin kapatanij pa ri Templo rech ri Dios rumal cher xuriq ri qꞌij are kapatanik ri uwo kaj.
9 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
Jacha ri kubꞌij ri naqꞌatajibꞌal kech ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, kakikꞌyaq rij jachin ri chꞌawenel kok bꞌik pa utemplo ri Dios chutzujik ri incienso.
10 The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
Are tajin kaporox ri incienso, ri winaq ri kimulim kibꞌ tajin kakibꞌan apanoq chꞌawem cho ri Templo rech ri Dios.
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Are tajin kuporoj incienso ri Zacarías xukꞌut ribꞌ jun ángel choch, xtakꞌiꞌ pa ri wiqiqꞌabꞌ rech ri tzujbꞌal sipanik jaw ri kaporox wi ri incienso.
12 Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
Are xril ri Zacarías ri ángel, xkꞌaxir ranimaꞌ, sibꞌalaj xuxiꞌj ribꞌ.
13 But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
Ri ángel xubꞌij che: Man kaxiꞌj ta awibꞌ. Ri achꞌawem xtataj rumal ri Dios. Kakꞌojiꞌ na jun akꞌojol rukꞌ ri awixoqil Elisabet, Juan kakoj che ubꞌiꞌ.
14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
Sibꞌalaj katkiꞌkot na rumal rech ri akꞌal, xuqujeꞌ e kꞌi winaq kekiꞌkot na we xkil uwach.
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
Jeriꞌ rumal cher nim na uqꞌij cho ri Dios. Man kutij ta wi vino xuqujeꞌ tzam. Kanojisax na che ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel are kꞌo chupam ri unan.
16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
E kꞌi winaq aꞌj Israel ketzalij na rukꞌ ri Ajawxel ri kiDios rumal rech areꞌ.
17 He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”
Kanabꞌej na cho ri Ajawxel rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kwinem jetaq ri xya che ri Elías, kubꞌan na chi kesukꞌiꞌ ri tat nan kukꞌ ri alkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kubꞌan na chi ri man keniman taj kakikꞌamawaꞌj ketaꞌmabꞌal chike ri sukꞌ taq winaq. Rech jeriꞌ ri winaq kakisukꞌumaj apanoq kibꞌ chirayeꞌxik ri Ajawxel.
18 Zacharias said to the angel, “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”
Ri Zacarías xubꞌij che ri ángel: ¿Jas kinbꞌan chi retaꞌmaxik chi qas kakꞌulmataj na we jastaq riꞌ? In in riꞌj achi chik, ri wixoqil xuqujeꞌ bꞌenaq chi ri ujunabꞌ.
19 The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
Ri ángel xubꞌij: In in Gabriel, in kꞌo cho ri Dios chanim, areꞌ xintaqow loq chubꞌixik we utz laj taq tzij riꞌ chawe.
20 Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day that these things will happen, because you didn’t believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”
Rumal kꞌu cher man xakoj ta ri xinbꞌij chawe, katmemar kan chanim, man katkwin taj katchꞌawik, ka chi kꞌol na ri akꞌal kꞌa te riꞌ kajaqataj ri achꞌabꞌal. Kakꞌulmataj na ri nutzij pa ri qꞌotaj ri kajawatajik.
21 The people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marvelled that he delayed in the temple.
Ri winaq ri aꞌyeninaq ri Zacarías xemayijanik rumal cher maj ri kel loq.
22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
Are xel loq, man kakwin ta chik kachꞌawik. Xaq pa memal tzij chik xtzijon kukꞌ, xkichomaj kꞌut chi xa xril jun kꞌutbꞌal pa ri Tyoxalaj kꞌolibꞌal.
23 When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
Are xtoꞌtaj ri Zacarías che ri patanijik pa ri Templo, xtzalij cho rachoch.
24 After these days Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
Ikꞌowinaq chi jun janipa qꞌij, ri Elisabet rixoqil ri Zacarías xkanaj yawabꞌ ixoq. Ri Elisabet jobꞌ ikꞌ xaq cho rachoch xkꞌojiꞌ wi.
25 “Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach amongst men.”
Sibꞌalaj utz ri wAjaw, xinresaj pa ri nukꞌixibꞌal rech man kinkiyoqꞌ ta chi ri winaq, xcha ri Elisabet.
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
Pa ri uwaq ikꞌ rech ri uyawajik ri Elisabet, xtaq loq ri ángel Gabriel pa Nazaret, jun leꞌaj ri kꞌo pa Galilea.
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of David’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary.
Xopan rukꞌ jun qꞌapoj ali, ubꞌiꞌ María, ri tzꞌonom chik rumal jun achi ubꞌiꞌ José, jun rijaꞌl ri Taqanel David.
28 Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favoured one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you amongst women!”
Ri Gabriel xukꞌut ribꞌ choch ri María, xubꞌij che: ¡Rutzil awach, at jun ixoq chaꞌtalik, ri Ajawxel kꞌo awukꞌ!
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
Ri María xsach ukꞌuꞌx, xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ranimaꞌ, xuchomaj rij ri kubꞌij ri ángel.
30 The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God.
Ri ángel xubꞌij che: ¡Man kaxiꞌj ta awibꞌ María, at chaꞌtal rumal ri Dios!
31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘Jesus.’
Katiktaj na jun akꞌal chawe, kalax na, kakoj Jesús che ubꞌiꞌ.
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,
Kanimar na uqꞌij, kabꞌix na ukꞌojol ri Nimalaj Dios che. Ri Ajawxel Dios kukoj na che nim taqanel jetaq ri qamam David.
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.” (aiōn g165)
Amaqꞌel kataqan na puꞌwiꞌ ri tinimit Israel, ri utaqanik maj ukꞌisik. (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”
Ri María xubꞌij: ¿Jamo riꞌ kakꞌulmataj we riꞌ? Man in kꞌolinaq ta in rukꞌ achi.
35 The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God.
Ri ángel xubꞌij che: Ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel kaqaj na loq paꞌwiꞌ. Ri ukwinem ri nimalaj Dios katuchꞌuq na. Rumal riꞌ, ri neꞌ riꞌ ri kakꞌojiꞌ na, jun Tyoxalaj akꞌal, xuqujeꞌ kubꞌiꞌnaꞌj na Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios.
36 Behold, Elizabeth your relative also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
Ri Elisabet ri awachalal xkanaj yawabꞌ winaq pa ri uriꞌjobꞌnaqil. Waqibꞌ ikꞌ chik yawabꞌ winaq pune xbꞌix che kumal ri winaq chi man kakwin taj kuꞌya ral pa ri uwachulew.
37 For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”
Maj jun jastaq ri mat kakwin ri Dios che ubꞌanik.
38 Mary said, “Behold, the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
Ri María xubꞌij: In patanil rech ri Ajawxel. Kꞌulmataj wukꞌ ronojel ri xabꞌij. Ri ángel xtzalijik.
39 Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
Kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij chik ikꞌowinaq we kꞌulmatajem riꞌ, ri María xeꞌ pa taq ri juyubꞌ pa ri tinimit rech Judea.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
Are xopan chilaꞌ, xok bꞌik pa ri rachoch ri Zacarías, xuya rutzil uwach ri Elisabet.
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leapt in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Are xuta ri Elisabet ri rutzil wach ri xya rumal ri María, xchꞌoplaj ri ral chupam, xnoj kꞌut che ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
42 She called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
Ri Elisabet xuraq uchiꞌ chech kiꞌkotemal, xubꞌij che ri María: Sibꞌalaj at tewchiꞌtalik chikiwach konojel ri ixoqibꞌ. Xuqujeꞌ tewchiꞌtal ri awal.
43 Why am I so favoured, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
¿Jas che xya bꞌe chwe, kinulusolij ri unan ri Wajaw?
44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leapt in my womb for joy!
Are xinta ri rutzil nuwach xuyaꞌo, xchꞌoplaj ri nuneꞌ ri kꞌo chinupam xchꞌoplaj che kiꞌkotemal.
45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfilment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”
Sibꞌalaj at tewchiꞌtalik rumal cher xakojo chi ri Ajawxel kubꞌan ri xuchiꞌj chawe.
46 Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.
Ri María xubꞌij: Ri wanimaꞌ sibꞌalaj kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Ajawxel.
47 My spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour,
Sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkot ri wanimaꞌ pa ri nuDios, nukolonel.
48 for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
Xel ukꞌuꞌx che we patanijel rech ri man nim ta uqꞌij. Konojel kꞌu ri winaq kakibꞌij na riꞌ chwe chi in tewchiꞌtalik.
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.
Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Tyox xuqujeꞌ kwinel laj Dios xubꞌan nimalaj taq jastaq wukꞌ.
50 His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him.
Kutoqꞌobꞌisaj kiwach konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌolik xuqujeꞌ ri kekꞌojiꞌ na. Ri winaq kakimochꞌ kibꞌ choch.
51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Rukꞌ ri utelebꞌ xubꞌan nimalaj taq jastaq, xusach kiwach ri winaq ri nimal chike xuqujeꞌ ri kakinimarisaj kibꞌ.
52 He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.
Xresaj ri taqanik pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri nimaꞌq kibꞌanik, xuya kiqꞌij ri winaq ri nim taj kiqꞌij.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
Xuya jastaq kech ri kenumik, maj ke ri qꞌinomabꞌ xuyaꞌo.
54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
Xutoꞌ ri utinimit Israel, man xsachan ta che ubꞌanik ri utzilal kukꞌ.
Jeriꞌ xubꞌano rumal cher xuchiꞌj kan che ri qamam Abraham xuqujeꞌ amaqꞌel chike ri e rijaꞌl chi jewaꞌ kubꞌan na. (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
Ri María xkanaj kan oxibꞌ ikꞌ rukꞌ ri Elisabet kꞌa te riꞌ xtzalij cho rachoch.
57 Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she gave birth to a son.
Are xopan ri qꞌij, kakꞌojiꞌ ri ral ri Elisabet, xalax ri ral, ala ri ral.
58 Her neighbours and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
Ri ukꞌulja ri Elisabet xuqujeꞌ ri e rachalal xekiꞌkotik are xketaꞌmaj chi ri Dios sibꞌalaj xutoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri Elisabet.
59 On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
Are xtzꞌaqat wajxaqibꞌ uqꞌij ri neꞌ, xkimulij kibꞌ rech kakilo kakoj retal, xkaj kꞌut xkikoj Zacarías che ubꞌiꞌ, jetaq ri ubꞌiꞌ ri utat.
60 His mother answered, “Not so; but he will be called John.”
Ri Elisabet kꞌut xubꞌij: ¡Man je ta riꞌ! Juan kubꞌiꞌnaꞌj we akꞌal riꞌ.
61 They said to her, “There is no one amongst your relatives who is called by this name.”
¿Jas che? xecha ri winaq. Man kꞌo ta jun chike ri awachalal jeriꞌ ubꞌiꞌ.
62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
Pa memal tzij kꞌut xkita che ri utat ri akꞌal jas ubꞌiꞌ ri ukꞌojol kukojo.
63 He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.” They all marvelled.
Ri Zacarías xuta jun chꞌaqaꞌp tzꞌalam chike rech kutzꞌibꞌaj choch jas ri bꞌiꞌaj. Sibꞌalaj xemayijan kꞌut are xkilo ri xutzꞌibꞌaj “Juan ubꞌiꞌ.”
64 His mouth was opened immediately and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Aninaq xjaqataj ri uchꞌabꞌal ri Zacarías, xuchapleꞌj uqꞌijilaꞌxik ri Dios.
65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
Xtzijox kꞌu ronojel we kꞌulmatajem riꞌ pa taq ri tinimit ri kꞌo pa taq ri juyubꞌ rech Judea, konojel ri e kuꞌl ja xkixiꞌj kibꞌ.
66 All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, “What then will this child be?” The hand of the Lord was with him.
Konojel ri winaq ri xetowik kakitatabꞌela chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: ¿Jas kux we akꞌal ri? Jeꞌ xkibꞌij waꞌ rumal qꞌalaj chi ri Ajawxel Dios kꞌo rukꞌ ri akꞌal.
67 His father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Ri Zacarías, ri utat ri akꞌal, xnoj che ri Uxlabꞌixel, xubꞌij:
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people;
Chiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Ajawxel, ri Dios rech ri tinimit Israel, xusolij ri utinimit, xutoꞌo pa ri qꞌoxom.
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
Xutaq loq jun kwinel laj kolonel rijaꞌl ri patanil rech, David.

71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;
Kujutoꞌ na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri e qakꞌulel, xuqujeꞌ pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri kaketzelaj qawach.
72 to show mercy towards our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
Rech kutoqꞌobꞌisaj kiwach ri e qamam rumal cher xnaꞌtaj che ri chꞌekom tzij ri xubꞌano.
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
Are waꞌ ri chꞌekom tzij xubꞌan kan rukꞌ ri qamam Abraham.
74 to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,
Xujesax na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri qakꞌulel rech kaqapatanij ri Dios man rukꞌ ta xibꞌin ibꞌ,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.

76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
At, nukꞌojol, kabꞌix na qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij ri nimalaj Dios chawe, kasukꞌumaj na apanoq ri ubꞌe ri Ajawxel.
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,
Katzijoj na jas kakibꞌan ri winaq rech kekolotajik xuqujeꞌ kekuyutaj che ri kimak.
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the dawn from on high will visit us,
Tyox che ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios, katunan na ri tunal rech pa ri kaj, chiqaxoꞌl.
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

80 The child was growing and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
