< Acts 1 >

1 The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Loqꞌalaj wach chꞌabꞌeꞌn Teófilo: Pa ri nabꞌe nuwuj ri xintzꞌibꞌaj chawe, xintzijon chirij ronojel ri xubꞌan ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ ri xukꞌutu.
2 until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
Kꞌa pa ri qꞌij are xkꞌam bꞌik chikaj are xyaꞌtaj kan ri utaqanik chike ri utijoxelabꞌ rukꞌ ri utobꞌanik ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
3 To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about God’s Kingdom.
Are xkꞌastaj uwach, xukꞌut ribꞌ chikiwach ri uꞌtaqoꞌn, xubꞌan mayijabꞌal taq jastaq rech xukꞌut chikiwach chi qas xkꞌastaj uwach. Kawinaq qꞌij xukꞌut ribꞌ chkiwach xutzijoj ri rajawarem ri Dios chike.
4 Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
Are kꞌo kukꞌ xubꞌij chike: Man kixel ta na bꞌik pa Jerusalén, xane chiwayeꞌj na ri ubꞌim loq kan ri nuTat, ri nutzijom chiꞌwe.
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
Rumal cher ri Juan xubꞌan qasanaꞌ rukꞌ jaꞌ, are kꞌu ri ix man kanajtin ta na kabꞌan iqasanaꞌ rukꞌ ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
Are kimulim kibꞌ ri e taqoꞌn, xkita che ri Jesús: Ajawxel, ¿la che kꞌu we qꞌotaj riꞌ kakoj la ri taqanel pa ri tinimit Israel?
7 He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
Xubꞌij ri Jesús chike: Man yaꞌtal ta chiꞌwe ix kiwetaꞌmaj ri qꞌotaj xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌij are kubꞌan na ri karaj ri Dios.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
Are kape ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel piꞌwiꞌ, kikꞌamawaꞌj na kwinem xuqujeꞌ kixux na qꞌalajisal taq we pa Jerusalén, pa ronojel ri tinimit Judea, pa ri tinimit Samaria xuqujeꞌ pa ri naj taq tinimit rech ronojel ri uwachulew.
9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Are xbꞌiꞌtaj we jastaq riꞌ rumal ri Jesús, ko xkaꞌyex kumal ri tijoxelabꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ qas chikiwach xwaꞌjilisax bꞌik, xkꞌam bꞌik chikaj, xchꞌuq bꞌik pa jun sutzꞌ, man xekwin ta chik xkil uwach.
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
Ri tijoxelabꞌ tajin kekaꞌy apanoq cho ri kaj are paqal ri Jesús, xaq kꞌa teꞌ xeqet kebꞌ achyabꞌ kukꞌ, kikojom saq taq katzꞌyaq, xkibꞌij chike:
11 who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”
Achyabꞌ aꞌj Galilea, ¿jas che tajin kixkaꞌy chikaj? Ri Jesús ri xkꞌam bꞌik chiꞌwach pa ri kaj, kape chi na junmul jetaq ri xubꞌano are xeꞌek.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Are xeqaj loq ri e taqoꞌn cho ri juyubꞌ ri kabꞌix Olivos che ri kꞌo apanoq chi jun kilómetro che ri tinimit Jerusalén.
13 When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
Xoꞌpan kꞌu pa ri tinimit, xepaqiꞌ pa ri ja ri e kꞌo wi. Are waꞌ ri kibꞌiꞌ ri achyabꞌ ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ: ri Pedro, ri Jacobo, ri Juan, ri Andrés, ri Felipe, ri Tomás, ri Bartolomé, ri Mateo, ri Jacobo ukꞌojol ri Alfeo, ri Simón ri kachiꞌl ri Zelotes rachiꞌl ri Judas rachalal ri Jacobo.
14 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Konojel ri e taqoꞌn xkimulij kibꞌ, kachiꞌl ri María ri unan ri Jesús, ri e rachalal xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj ixoqibꞌ chik, junam amaqꞌel xkibꞌan chꞌawem cho ri Dios.
15 In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ are kimulim kibꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ karaj e jun ciento rukꞌ juwinaq kikꞌyal. Ri Pedro xtakꞌiꞌ chikixoꞌl xubꞌij chike:
16 “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
Qachalal, rajawaxik kakꞌulmataj ri kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik are waꞌ ri xubꞌij loq ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel chuchiꞌ ri qamam David ojer chi kakꞌulmataj na rukꞌ ri Judas.
17 For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
Ri Judas qachiꞌl kan nabꞌe xuqujeꞌ xchakun qukꞌ pa ri qawokaj.
18 Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.
Xuloqꞌ kꞌu jun ulew chech ri pwaq ri tojbꞌal rech ri etzelal ri xubꞌano, chilaꞌ xtzaq wi xuliꞌ uwiꞌ, xraqin ri upam, xel loq ronojel ri rixkoꞌl.
19 It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
Xel kꞌu loq utzijoxik ri xkꞌulmatajik konojel ri winaq pa ri tinimit Jerusalén xketaꞌmaj we jastaq riꞌ. Rumal riꞌ ri ulew ri xkam wi ri Judas xubꞌinaꞌj Acéldama, ri kel kubꞌij Kikꞌ ulew pa ri tzijobꞌal arameo.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
Jeriꞌ rumal cher pa ri wuj rech Salmos tzꞌibꞌatal wi loq: Tolon kan upam ri rachoch, mat ko chi jun kakꞌojiꞌ chupam. Xuqujeꞌ kubꞌij: Yoꞌq ri reqeleꞌn che jun winaq chik.
21 “Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Rumal kꞌu ri rajawaxik kaqachaꞌ jun chikixoꞌl ri xekꞌojiꞌ qukꞌ are xkꞌojiꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesús qukꞌ.
22 beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
Rajawaxik chi we winaq riꞌ kꞌolinaq loq qukꞌ are xqachapleꞌj loq, che taq ri qꞌij are xubꞌan qasanaꞌ ri Juan kꞌa pa ri qꞌij are xkꞌam bꞌik ri Jesús pa ri kaj, xuqujeꞌ rajawaxik chi xril qukꞌ junam ri ukꞌastajibꞌal ri Jesús.
23 They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
Xeꞌkichaꞌ kꞌu e kebꞌ achyabꞌ: Ri José ri kabꞌix Barsabás che, xuqujeꞌ Justo rachiꞌl ri Matías.
24 They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
Kꞌa te riꞌ xkibꞌan chꞌawem xkibꞌij: Ajawxel, etaꞌm la ri kanimaꞌ konojel ri winaq, kꞌutu bꞌa la chiqawach jachin chike we kebꞌ achyabꞌ riꞌ chaꞌom la,
25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
rech kok che taqoꞌn ech la, kukꞌam ri eqeleꞌn ri xuya kan ri Judas rumal cher xqaj pa mak, xeꞌ kꞌu chilaꞌ jawjeꞌ ri taqal wi che.
26 They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
Xkikꞌyaq kꞌu kij chi rilik jachin chirij kaqaj wi. Xqaj kꞌu chirij ri Matías. Ri Matías xok kukꞌ ri julajuj taqoꞌn.
