< Luke 15 >

1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
E kꞌi kꞌu aꞌjmakibꞌ xuqujeꞌ e tal taq alkabal xeqet rukꞌ ri Jesús chutatabꞌexik.
2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
Rumal riꞌ ri e fariseos xuqujeꞌ ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xkichapleꞌj wixwatem xkibꞌij: Waꞌ we achi riꞌ kuꞌkꞌamawaꞌj xuqujeꞌ kawaꞌ kukꞌ ri aꞌjmakibꞌ.
3 He told them this parable:
Ri Jesús kꞌut xutzijoj we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ chike:
4 “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
Qaꞌnampe che jun chiꞌwe e kꞌo jun ciento uchij, kasach kꞌu kan jun chike. ¿La man kꞌu kuꞌya kan ri junmuchꞌ bꞌelej lajuj cho ri saq, kꞌa te riꞌ katzalij chutzukuxik ri xsach kanoq, kꞌa kuꞌriqa na loq?
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Are kuriq ri uchij sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkotik, kukꞌyaq loq chwi utelebꞌ.
6 When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’
Katzalij loq cho ri rachoch, kuꞌmulij ri e rech taq chꞌabꞌeꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri uꞌkꞌulja ja kubꞌij chike: “Chixkiꞌkot wukꞌ, rumal xinriq ri nuchij ri xsach kanoq.”
7 I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
Je xuqujeꞌ kakꞌulmataj pa ri kaj kabꞌan nimaqꞌij rumal jun ajmak ri kukꞌex ukꞌuꞌx man are ta kabꞌan nimaqꞌij chike ri junmuchꞌ bꞌelej lajuj e sukꞌ taq winaq ri man kajawataj kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx.
8 “Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
Xuqujeꞌ qaꞌnampe che we kꞌo jun ixoq ri kꞌo lajuj saqa pwaq rukꞌ, kutzaq kꞌu jun chike, ¿la man kꞌu kutzij jun qꞌaqꞌ riꞌ pa ri ja, xuqujeꞌ kumes ri upaja, kuchapleꞌj utzukuxik kꞌa kuriq na?
9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’
Are kꞌu kuriqo, kuꞌmulij kꞌu ronojel ri e rech taq chꞌabꞌeꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri uꞌkꞌulja are, kubꞌij riꞌ chike: “Chixkiꞌkot wukꞌ xinriq le nurajil le xtzaqik.”
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
Ri Dios xuqujeꞌ e rachiꞌl ri angelibꞌ kekiꞌkotik are kukꞌex ukꞌuꞌx ri jun ajmak.
11 He said, “A certain man had two sons.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Kꞌo jun achi, ri e kꞌo kebꞌ ralkꞌwaꞌl.
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
Ri koꞌl chike xubꞌij che ri utat: “Tat, ya la ri wechabꞌal.” Xaq jeriꞌ ri tat xujach ri umebꞌail chike ri uꞌkꞌojol.
13 Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
Are xikꞌow kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij, ri kꞌojolaxel xumulij ronojel ri kꞌo rukꞌ, xukꞌayij kanoq. Kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌ pa jun naj alaj tinimit, chilaꞌ xkꞌojiꞌ wi, xusachachej ronojel ri pwaq rajil ri rechabꞌal, maj pa sukꞌ ri xubꞌano.
14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
Xa kꞌu are xsachtaj ronojel ri urajil, xpe jun nimalaj wiꞌjal pa ri tinimit riꞌ, xuchapleꞌj kꞌu numik.
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
Xuriq kꞌu jun achi, xuta uchak che. Ri achi xuya uchak ri ala, xutaq bꞌik chikiyuqꞌuxik aq cho jun saq.
16 He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
Sibꞌalaj are kꞌu karaj kutij ri kechaꞌ ri aq, xa kꞌu maj jachin ri kayoꞌw che.
17 But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!
Kꞌisbꞌal kꞌu rech xuchomaj: “Sibꞌalaj kꞌo kiwa ri rajchak ri nutat, ri in kꞌut tajin kinkam che numik waral.
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
Kintzalij waꞌ cho rachoch ri nutat, kinbꞌij waꞌ che: ‘Xinmakun cho ri Dios xuqujeꞌ cho la nutat.
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
Man taqal ta chi chwe kabꞌij kꞌojol la chwe, bꞌana la chi kinux jun ajchak la.’”
20 “He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Xwaꞌjilik, xutaqej ri ubꞌe, xtzalij kꞌu cho rachoch ri utat. Kꞌanaj kꞌu na kꞌo wi loq, xtoqꞌobꞌax uwach are xilitaj apanoq rumal ri utat, kaxikꞌanik xuꞌkꞌulaj apanoq, xumatzej ri ukꞌojol xuqujeꞌ xutzꞌumaj.
21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
“Tat, ri in xinmakunik cho ri kaj xuqujeꞌ cho la, taqal ta chi chwe kabꞌij kꞌojol la chwe,” xcha ri ala.
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
Are kꞌu ri tataxel aninaq xtaqan chike ri e patanil taq rech, xubꞌij: “Aninaq chikꞌama loq ri jeꞌl laj atzꞌyaq rech kukojo, xuqujeꞌ chikojo jun mulqꞌabꞌ che ri uqꞌabꞌ, xuqujeꞌ chikojo uxajabꞌ che ri raqan.
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
Jiꞌkꞌama loq xuqujeꞌ chikamisaj ri chomalaj wakax rech kaqabꞌan nimaqꞌij.
24 for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
Rumal cher ri nukꞌojol ri xkamik, xkꞌastaj chi kꞌu na loq, waꞌ sachik, xa kꞌu xqariq na.” Xaq jeriꞌ xkichapleꞌj ubꞌanik nimaqꞌij.
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Are kꞌu ri nabꞌyal kꞌojolaxel bꞌenaq cho ri saq, are kꞌu xtzalij loq xuta ri qꞌojom rech ri xojow.
26 He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
Xusikꞌij kꞌu jun chike ri patanijelabꞌ, xuta che jas tajin kakꞌulmatajik.
27 He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
Xubꞌij kꞌu ri patanijel che: “Xtzalij loq ri achaqꞌ, utz uwach, rumal kꞌu rech xtaqan ri atat chukamisaxik ri chomalaj wakax.”
28 But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
Sibꞌalaj xyakataj kꞌu royawal ri nabꞌyal kꞌojolaxel man xraj ta kꞌut xok bꞌik, xel kꞌu na loq ri tataxel chutayik toqꞌobꞌ che chi kok bꞌik pa ja.
29 But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
Ri nabꞌyal kꞌojolaxel xubꞌij che ri utat: “Xwimpe chilaꞌ la sibꞌalaj kꞌi junabꞌ nupatanim la, xa ta ne nitzꞌ inkꞌululaꞌninaq che la, xa ta kꞌu ne jun laj nukꞌisikꞌ yaꞌom la chwe rech kinbꞌan nimaqꞌij kukꞌ ri e wech taq chꞌabꞌeꞌn.
30 But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
Are kꞌu xul we kꞌojol la riꞌ, ri xusach kan ronojel ri qꞌinomal la kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ, lal kataqan la che ukamisaxik ri chom laj wakax.”
31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
Ri tataxel xubꞌij che: “Nukꞌojol, at kꞌolinaq wi at wukꞌ, ronojel ri nujastaq awe at.
32 But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
Xa kꞌu rajawaxik xqabꞌan nimaqꞌij, xuqujeꞌ xujkiꞌkotik rumal cher we awachalal we xkamik, xkꞌastaj loq, pune xsach na, xqariq chi kꞌu na.”
