Matthew 18
1 In that hour the disciples came to Yeshua, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
Qas pa ri qꞌotaj riꞌ, ri tijoxelabꞌ xeqet rukꞌ ri Jesús, xkita che: ¿Jachin ri qas sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij pa ri ajawarem rech ri kaj?
2 Yeshua called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
Ri Jesús xusikꞌij jun akꞌal, xuya chikixoꞌl.
3 and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, we man kikꞌex iwibꞌ, rech je kixux akꞌalabꞌ, man kixkwin taj kixok pa ri ajawarem rech ri kaj.
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jeriꞌ, ri kumochꞌ ribꞌ jacha we kubꞌan we akꞌal riꞌ, sibꞌalaj nim na uqꞌij pa ri ajawarem rech ri kaj.
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
Xuqujeꞌ ri kukꞌamawaꞌj jun akꞌal pa ri nubꞌiꞌ, in riꞌ kinukꞌamawaꞌj.
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
We kꞌo jun kuꞌtaqchiꞌj pa mak we alaj taq nitzꞌ ri e kojoninaq chwe. Are katan riꞌ we kaxekebꞌax bꞌik jun abꞌaj rech keꞌbꞌal chuqul, kꞌa te riꞌ kakꞌyaq bꞌik kꞌa pa ri ukꞌuꞌx ri cho.
7 “Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
¡Kꞌax ke ri winaq ri keꞌkitaqchiꞌj nikꞌaj winaq chik pa mak! Rajawaxik kꞌu wi chi kakꞌulmataj na we riꞌ, xa kꞌu kꞌax rech ri winaq ri kuꞌtaqchiꞌj chi nikꞌaj pa mak.
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
We are ri aqꞌabꞌ o ri awaqan kabꞌanow chawe katmakunik, chakutij, kꞌa te riꞌ chakꞌyaqa bꞌik. Are katanik katok pa ri jun alik kꞌaslemal, maj jun aqꞌabꞌ o maj jun awaqan cho ri rukꞌ ukobꞌchal aqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ukobꞌchal ri awaqan katkꞌyaq bꞌik pa ri qꞌaqꞌ ri maj ukꞌisik. (aiōnios g166)
9 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehinnom of fire. (Geenna g1067)
We are ri abꞌoqꞌoch kabꞌanow chawe katmakunik, chawesaj, chakꞌyaqa bꞌik. Are katanik xa rukꞌ jun abꞌoqꞌoch katok pa ri jun alik kꞌaslemal cho ri rukꞌ ukobꞌchal ri abꞌoqꞌoch katkꞌyaq bꞌik pa ri qꞌaqꞌ. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Qas chiwila na, miwetzelaj jun chike we alaj taq e nitzꞌ riꞌ. Rumal qas kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri kiángel, amaqꞌel ketzijon rukꞌ ri nuTat ri kꞌo chilaꞌ chikaj.
11 For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
/Ri uKꞌojol ri Achi xpetik che kikolik ri e sachinaq kanoq./
12 “What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
¿Jas kichomaj ix chrij ri achi, ri kasach kan jun chike ri jun ciento uchij? ¿La man kꞌu kuꞌya kan ri junmuchꞌ bꞌelej lajuj pa ri juyubꞌ rech keꞌ chutzukuxik ri uchij ri xsach kanoq?
13 If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, sibꞌalaj kꞌo na ri ukiꞌkotemal ri ajyuqꞌ are kuriq ri jun uchij, cho ri e junmuchꞌ bꞌelej lajuj chij ri man xesach taj.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Je xuqujeꞌ ri iTat ri kꞌo pa ri kaj, man karaj taj katzaq jun chike we alaj taq nitzꞌ riꞌ.
15 “If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
We kꞌo jun awachalal pa Cristo, kubꞌan jun kꞌax chawe, jat rukꞌ atukel, chabꞌij che ri xubꞌan chawe. We kutatabꞌej ri kabꞌij che xatchꞌeken riꞌ che.
16 But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
We man kutatabꞌej ri awachalal ri kabꞌij che, jat chi junmul rukꞌ, chaꞌkꞌama bꞌik kebꞌ o oxibꞌ winaq awukꞌ, rech kakilo jas kibꞌan chusukꞌumaxik ri xkꞌulmatajik.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
We man kuta wi ri kabꞌix che, chabꞌij chike ri komontyox, we man kuta wi tzij, chabꞌana che chi jer kꞌo jun winaq ri man kojonel taj o jun itzel winaq.
18 Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe ronojel ri man kaya ta bꞌe che cho ri uwachulew, man kaya ta bꞌe che chilaꞌ chikaj, xuqujeꞌ ronojel ri kaya bꞌe che cho ri uwachulew, kaya na bꞌe che pa ri kaj.
19 Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
Xuqujeꞌ kinbꞌij chiꞌwe we e kꞌo kebꞌ chiꞌwe kakijunamaj kikꞌuꞌx chutayik jun jastaq, kayaꞌtaj na chike rumal ri nuTat ri kꞌo pa ri kaj.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
Jeriꞌ rumal cher jawjeꞌ ri kakimulij wi kibꞌ kebꞌ oꞌxibꞌ winaq pa ri nubꞌiꞌ, kinkꞌojiꞌ riꞌ chikixoꞌl.
21 Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
Ri Pedro xqebꞌ chuxukut ri Jesús xubꞌij che: ¿Awaj janipa mul rajawaxik kikuy umak ri wachalal ri kubꞌan kꞌax chwe? ¿La xaqareꞌ wuqubꞌ mul?
22 Yeshua said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Man tajin ta kinbꞌij chawe chi xa wuqubꞌ mul xane wuqubꞌ mul oxkꞌal lajuj.
23 Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Rumal riꞌ, ri ajawarem rech ri kaj kajunumataj rukꞌ ri jun taqanel ri xuta chike ri rajchakibꞌ chi kakijach ri kwenta rech ri pwaq ri kikꞌas rukꞌ.
24 When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Are xuchapleꞌj kitoqꞌixik, xopan ri jun rajchak ri ukꞌas lajuj mil qꞌana pwaq rukꞌ.
25 But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Maj urajil chutojik ri ukꞌas, rumal riꞌ ri patrón xtaqan chukꞌayixik ri achi, ri rixoqil, xuqujeꞌ ri ralkꞌwaꞌl, xuqujeꞌ ronojel ri ujastaq ri kꞌolik rech katojtaj ri kꞌasaj.
26 The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
Ri ajchak xukiꞌk choch ri upatrón xuta toqꞌobꞌ che xubꞌij: Toqꞌobꞌisaj la nuwach, kintoj na che la ronojel ri nukꞌas.
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
Ri patrón xutoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri rajchak, xubꞌij che chi maj chi ukꞌas, kꞌa te riꞌ xutzoqopij bꞌik.
28 “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
Are xel bꞌik ri ajchak rukꞌ ri patrón, xuriq jun chike ri rachiꞌl ri ukꞌas jun ciento saq pwaq rukꞌ, xuchap che ri uqul are xraj xujitzꞌaj, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij che: Chatojo ri akꞌas wukꞌ.
29 “So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
Ri rech ajchak xukiꞌk choch, xuta toqꞌobꞌ che xubꞌij: Chatoqꞌobꞌisaj nuwach, kintoj na chawe ronojel ri nukꞌas.
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
Ri achi man xutoqꞌobꞌisaj ta uwach ri rech ajchak, xyojtajik kꞌa te riꞌ xuꞌkojo kan pa cheꞌ, kꞌa chutojo na ri ukꞌas.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
Are xkil konojel ri ajchakibꞌ ri xkꞌulmatajik, sibꞌalaj xebꞌisonik, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkitzijoj che ri kipatrón ri xkꞌulmatajik.
32 Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
Ri patrón xusikꞌij ri ajchak ri je xubꞌan we riꞌ, xubꞌij che: “¡At Itzel laj ajchak! Xinkuy ri akꞌas, rumal xata toqꞌobꞌ chwe.
33 Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
¿La man kꞌu xatoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri awachiꞌl jacha ri xinbꞌan in chawe?”
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
Ri patrón xyojtajik, kꞌa te riꞌ xujach bꞌik ri achi chike ri ajchakibꞌ pa ri cheꞌ, rech kabꞌan kꞌax che kꞌa chutojo na ronojel ri ukꞌas.
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Jeriꞌ kubꞌan na ri nuTat ri kꞌo chilaꞌ chikaj chiꞌwe, we man kiꞌkuy ri iwachalal rukꞌ ronojel ikꞌuꞌx.
