< Matthew 11 >

1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Are xtoꞌtaj ri Jesús chubꞌixik we jastaq riꞌ chike ri kabꞌlajuj utijoxelabꞌ, xeꞌ pa taq nikꞌaj tinimit chik chutzijoxik xuqujeꞌ chukꞌutik ri utz laj tzij.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
Ri Juan Bꞌanal qasanaꞌ, are xutabꞌej ronojel ri tajin kubꞌan ri Jesús, xuꞌtaq bꞌik e jujun utijoxelabꞌ rech keꞌkita che ri Jesús:
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
¿La lal riꞌ ri Mesías ri xubꞌij kan ri Dios chaqe chi kutaq na loq, o kaqayeꞌj na jun chik?
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Chixtzalijoq, chitzijoj che ri Juan ronojel ri tajin kito xuqujeꞌ kiwilo.
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Ri moyabꞌ kekaꞌyik, ri chꞌokeꞌr kebꞌinik, kuꞌtzir ri e chꞌaꞌkibꞌ, xuqujeꞌ ri tꞌoꞌyabꞌ kakita chik, kekꞌastaj ri kaminaqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ katzijox ri utz laj tzij rech kolotajem chike ri e mebꞌaibꞌ.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Utz re ri winaq ri man kutopij ta raqan rumal we.
7 As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Are xebꞌe ri utijoxelabꞌ ri Juan, ri Jesús xuchapleꞌj utzijoxik rij ri Juan chike ri winaq, xubꞌij: ¿Jas uwach achi xiꞌwila, are xixeꞌ pa ri ulew ri katzꞌinowik? ¿La xiꞌwila jun achi ri kumejejej ribꞌ jetaq ri kubꞌan ri patzꞌan ri kamejejex rumal ri kyaqiqꞌ?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
¿La xiꞌwila jun achi ri ukojom atzꞌyaq ri sibꞌalaj paqal rajil? Naꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi ri winaq ri paqal taq kaꞌtzyaqinik, pa taq ri nimaꞌq taq tꞌuyulibꞌal kech ri taqanelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ pa taq ri kitꞌuyulibꞌal ri e taqanelabꞌ e tꞌuyul wi.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
¿Jachin kꞌu xiꞌwila? ¿La xiꞌwila jun qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios? Jeꞌ jeriꞌ, ri Juan sibꞌalaj nim na uqꞌij choch jun qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
Are waꞌ ri taqoꞌn, ri ubꞌim loq ri Dios pa ri utzij, are xubꞌij: Kintaq na bꞌik ri nutaqoꞌn, kanabꞌej chawach, rech kusukꞌumaj apanoq ri abꞌe.
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe majaꞌ kalax jun achi ri sibꞌalaj nim na uqꞌij choch ri Juan ri bꞌanal qasanaꞌ. Pa ri rajawarem kꞌu ri Dios, ri winaq ri sibꞌalaj nitzꞌ uqꞌij are nim na uqꞌij cho ri Juan.
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Pa ri qꞌij ri xuchapleꞌj loq Juan Bꞌanal qasanaꞌ utzijoxik ri utzij ri Dios ri Juan Bꞌanal qasanaꞌ, kꞌa pa taq we qꞌij riꞌ, tajin kanimar ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, pune e kꞌo uꞌkꞌulel. Xaq xwi ri e winaq ri kakibꞌan kichuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kuchap kikꞌuꞌx, xaq xwi waꞌ koꞌk pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Ri Dios xutzijoj loq pa ri utzij ri kakꞌulmataj na are kape ri Juan Bꞌanal qasanaꞌ.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
We kikojo o man kikoj taj, ri Dios are xubꞌij chi kutaq loq ri qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios, Elías, are xutzijoj loq rij ri Juan Bꞌanal qasanaꞌ.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Ri kꞌo uxikin chutatabꞌexik, qas chutatabꞌej.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
Ix winaq ri ix kꞌo kamik, jer ix kꞌo ri akꞌalabꞌ ri kixtꞌuyiꞌ pa taq ri kꞌayibꞌal kixetzꞌanik, xuqujeꞌ kiraq ichiꞌ kibꞌij chike nikꞌaj akꞌalabꞌ chik:
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
Xqoqꞌisaj ri chirimiꞌy rech ri kꞌulanem, man xixxojow taj xuqujeꞌ xqabꞌixoj bꞌisobꞌal taq bꞌix, rech kamikal man xixoqꞌ taj.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
Rumal riꞌ ri Juan Bꞌanal qasanaꞌ are man xwaꞌ taj, xibꞌij che chi xa kꞌo jun itzel uxlabꞌal che.
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
Kꞌa te riꞌ xinpe in, ri in uKꞌojol ri Achi, kinwaꞌik xuqujeꞌ kinqumun iwukꞌ, kibꞌij chi xaq kinpaqꞌ nupam, in jun qꞌabꞌarel, xuqujeꞌ are e wech chꞌabꞌem ri itzel taq winaq ri man keniman taj che ri Dios. Xa kꞌu naꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi ri etaꞌmabꞌal rech ri Dios kilitajik rumal ri kabꞌanik.
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
Ri Jesús xyojtaj kukꞌ ri winaq ri keꞌl pa taq ri tinimit ri xubꞌan wi sibꞌalaj kꞌi mayijabꞌal taq jastaq, rumal cher ri winaq man xkikꞌex ta wi ri kinoꞌjibꞌal xuqujeꞌ man kakaj taj kakinimaj ri Dios, rumal ri xubꞌij chike:
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
¡Winaq rech ri tinimit Corazín, qas kiriq wi na ri kꞌax! ¡Je xuqujeꞌ ix winaq ri kixel pa ri tinimit Betsaida! We ta xbꞌan ri mayijabꞌal taq jastaq ri xbꞌan chiꞌxoꞌl ix je laꞌ pa taq ri tinimit Tiro xuqujeꞌ Sidón, najtir ta riꞌ xkikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx ri e winaq ri keꞌl chilaꞌ. Xkikoj ta koxtar taq katzꞌyaq riꞌ, xuqujeꞌ xkiya ta chaj riꞌ pa taq kijolom chukꞌutik chi kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri kꞌisbꞌal qꞌatoj tzij ri kape na pa iwiꞌ, nim na choch ri kape pa kiwiꞌ we winaq riꞌ.
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today. (Hadēs g86)
Ri ix winaq ri kixel pa ri tinimit Capernaúm, ¿teꞌq pa ikꞌuꞌx chi ix kꞌo chik pa ri kaj? Kinbꞌij kꞌu chiꞌwe chi kixkꞌyaq na bꞌik qas pa ri ukꞌuꞌx ri tyoꞌnel qꞌaqꞌ. We ta xbꞌan ri mayijabꞌal taq jastaq ri xbꞌan iwukꞌ ix, kukꞌ ri winaq ri xekꞌojiꞌ pa ri tinimit Sodoma, xkikꞌex ta kibꞌ riꞌ ri winaq riꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kꞌa kꞌo ta na ri tinimit riꞌ kamik. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri kꞌisbꞌal qꞌatoj tzij ri kape na piꞌwiꞌ, nim na choch ri qꞌatoj tzij ri xpe pa kiwiꞌ aꞌreꞌ.
25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
Pa ri qꞌotaj riꞌ, ri Jesús xubꞌij che ri Dios: Tataxel, ri kabꞌan e la puꞌwiꞌ ri kaj xuqujeꞌ puꞌwiꞌ ri uwachulew, tyox che la rumal cher man xkꞌut ta la we jastaq riꞌ chikiwach ri achyabꞌ ri sibꞌalaj kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, xane are xkꞌut la chikiwach ri winaq ri jer e kꞌo akꞌalabꞌ.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Jeriꞌ xbꞌan la rumal, cher jeriꞌ xqaj choch la.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike ri winaq ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ: Ri nuTat uyaꞌom chwe ronojel ri jastaq rumal cher xaq xwi areꞌ retaꞌm nuwach. Maj chi jun qas etaꞌmaninaq uwach ri nuTat, xaq xwi ri in. Rumal laꞌ kintzijoj ri nuTat chike nikꞌaj winaq chik, rech kaketaꞌmaj uwach.
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Chixpeta wukꞌ ri ix ri ronojel qꞌij kixbꞌisonik xuqujeꞌ kakꞌaxir iwanimaꞌ rech kinbꞌan chiꞌwe kixuxlanik.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
Chinimaj ri nutaqanik, xuqujeꞌ chiwetaꞌmaj iwe wukꞌ, rumal cher in kinjororik xuqujeꞌ qas kinmochꞌ wanimaꞌ. Wukꞌ in utz kixuxlanik.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Man kꞌax taj ri kintaqan in chubꞌanik, xuqujeꞌ man al taj ri eqaꞌn ri kixintaq bꞌik chukꞌamik.
