Lucas 14
1 Jun qꞌij rech uxlanem, ri Jesús xeꞌwoꞌk cho rachoch jun kinimaꞌqil ri fariseo, e kꞌo chi kꞌu nikꞌaj fariseos ri tajin kakiwalwechij ri jastaq ri kubꞌan ri Jesús.
One (Jewish day of rest/Sabbath day), Jesus went to eat [SYN] at the house of an important Pharisee. Some [men who studied the Jewish] laws and other Pharisees who were there were watching him carefully [to see if he would do something for which they could accuse him].
2 Jun achi kꞌut ri kꞌo sipoj che kꞌo chilaꞌ cho ri Jesús.
Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
3 Ri Jesús kꞌut xuta chike ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ ri fariseos. ¿La yaꞌtalik kabꞌan kunanik pa ri qꞌij rech uxlanem?
Jesus said to them, “Is it permitted in [our(inc)] Jewish laws to heal [someone] (on our Jewish rest day/on the Sabbath), or not?”
4 Maj kꞌu jun xchꞌawik chike ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ. Ri Jesús kꞌut xukꞌam apanoq ri yawabꞌ, xukunaj bꞌik, kꞌa te riꞌ xutaq bꞌik cho rachoch.
[They knew that their laws permitted it, but they thought that healing was work, which they thought was wrong to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) (OR, [they knew that their laws permitted it, but they did not want to admit it]). So they did not reply. Then Jesus put his hands on the man and healed him. Then he told him to go [home].
5 Xubꞌij xuqujeꞌ: We kꞌo jun chiꞌwe kꞌo jun ukꞌojol o wine kꞌo jun uwakax ri katzaq bꞌik pa jun jul, ¿la man aninaq keꞌresaj loq pune jun qꞌij rech uxlanem?
Then he said to the rest of them, “If you had a son or an ox that fell into a well on a (Sabbath/our day of rest), would you immediately [work to] pull him out, [or would you(sg) let him stay there until the next day]?”
6 Maj kꞌu jas xekwinik xkibꞌij che.
[They knew that they would immediately work to pull him out, even on their day of rest, so they could not justly say that Jesus did wrong by healing the man on that day. So] they said nothing in reply to Jesus.
7 Are xril ri Jesús jas ri kakibꞌan ri winaq ri e sikꞌital pa ri waꞌim chuchaꞌik ri sibꞌalaj utz taq kꞌolibꞌal chwi ri mexa, xutzijoj we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj.
Jesus noticed that those people who had been {whom [the Pharisee] had} invited [to the meal] chose [to sit in] the places where important [people usually sit]. Then he gave [this advice] to them:
8 Are katsikꞌix pa jun nimaqꞌij rech kꞌulanem, man kattꞌuyiꞌ taj pa ri sibꞌalaj jeꞌl laj kꞌolibꞌal ri nim ubꞌantajik rumal cher rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ kꞌo chi na jun winaq sikꞌitalik ri sibꞌalaj kꞌo na uqꞌij chawach ri sikꞌitalik.
“When one of you [(sg)] is invited by someone {someone invites one of you [(sg)]} to a wedding feast, do not sit in a place where important people sit. Perhaps the man [giving the feast] has invited a man more important than you [(sg)].
9 We jeriꞌ, kape riꞌ ri winaq ri xixsikꞌinik kubꞌij na chawe: “Chaya kan le atꞌuyulibꞌal che we achi riꞌ rukꞌ kꞌu kꞌixibꞌal riꞌ kateꞌ tꞌuyul pa ri kꞌisbꞌal tem.”
[When that man comes], the man who invited both of you will come to you [(sg)] and say to you, ‘Let this man take your seat!’ Then you [(sg)] will have to take the most undesirable seat, and you will be ashamed.
10 Are katsikꞌixik pa jun nimaqꞌij, are utz we kattꞌuyiꞌ kan pa ri kꞌisbꞌal tem, rech are katril ri winaq ri xatsikꞌinik kubꞌij chawe: “Wech chꞌabꞌeꞌn chatqꞌax choch, kꞌo jun jeꞌl laj atꞌuyulibꞌal xaq awe at.” Xa jeriꞌ kanimarisax na aqꞌij chikiwach konojel ri e sikꞌitalik.
Instead, when you are invited {[someone] invites one of you} [to a feast], go and sit in the most undesirable seat. Then when the man who invited everyone comes, he will say to you [(sg)], ‘Friend, sit in a better seat!’ Then all the people who are eating with you [(sg)] will see that he is honoring you.
11 Xapachin kꞌu ri kunimarisaj ribꞌ kanitzꞌarisax na uqꞌij, xuqujeꞌ xapachin ri kunitzꞌarisaj na ribꞌ kanimarisax na uqꞌij.
Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
12 Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij ri Jesús che ri winaq ri sikꞌininaq: Are kabꞌan jun tzuquꞌnijik o kaya ne jun rekeqꞌij, man are ta kaꞌsikꞌij ri awech chꞌabꞌeꞌn, xuqujeꞌ man are ta kaꞌsikꞌij ri awachalal, man are ta kaꞌsikꞌij ri uqꞌabꞌ taq alaxik awukꞌ, xuqujeꞌ man are ta kaꞌsikꞌij ri e qꞌinom taq aꞌkꞌulja. Rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ katsikꞌix chi kumal aꞌreꞌ kakitzalij la ukꞌaxel chawe.
[Jesus] also said to [the Pharisee] who had invited him to the meal, “When you [(sg)] invite people to a midday or evening meal, do not invite your friends or your family or your other relatives or your rich neighbors. They can later invite you [(sg) for a meal]. In that way they will repay you.
13 Xane are kabꞌan nimaqꞌij, chaꞌsikꞌij ri e mebꞌaibꞌ, ri man e tzꞌaqat winaq taj, ri e chꞌokeꞌr, xuqujeꞌ e moyabꞌ.
Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
14 Utz kꞌu na awe we jeriꞌ kabꞌano, pune man kekwin taj katkitoj we winaq riꞌ chawe, kayaꞌtaj kꞌu na rajilal ukꞌaxelal chawe pa ri kꞌastajibꞌal ke ri e sukꞌ taq winaq.
They will be unable to repay you. [But God will bless you! He] will repay you [at the time] when [he causes] righteous people to become alive again.”
15 Are xutabꞌej rech ri jun achi ri tꞌuyul puꞌwiꞌ ri mexa, xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Sibꞌalaj utz rech ri kawaꞌ pa ri nimaqꞌij rech ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
One of those who were eating with Jesus heard him say that. He said to Jesus, “God [has truly] blessed [us Jews] who will eat [with the Messiah] when he starts to rule!”
16 Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Jun qꞌijal, kꞌo jun achi ri xuꞌsikꞌij sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq, xubꞌan kꞌut jun nimalaj nimaqꞌij.
But [to show that many Jews whom God had invited would not accept God’s invitation] [MET], Jesus replied to him, “One time a man [decided] to prepare a large feast. He invited many people to come.
17 Pa ri qꞌotaj rech ri nimaqꞌij, xutaq bꞌik jun chike ri e patanil rech, xeꞌkibꞌij chike ri sikꞌital pa ri nimaqꞌij: “Ronojel xutzirik, chixanloq.”
When it was the day for the feast, he sent his servant to tell those who had been {whom he had} invited, ‘Come [now] because everything is ready!’
18 Konojel kꞌut xok chutayik toqꞌobꞌ, ri nabꞌe xubꞌij, chakuyu numak, xa kꞌa te xinloqꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ wulew keꞌnwila kꞌu na,
But [when the servant did that], all of the people [whom he had invited] began to say why they did not want to come. The first [man the servant went to] said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
19 Ri jun chik xubꞌij, chakuyu numak xa kꞌa te xinloqꞌ e jobꞌ wok nuwakax rech chak, kubꞌeꞌn wi la na jas kechakunik.
Another person said, ‘I have just bought five pair of oxen, and I must go to examine them. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
20 Ri jun chik xubꞌij: Xa kꞌa te xinkꞌuliꞌk rumal riꞌ man kinkwin taj kineꞌek.
Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
21 Xtzalij kꞌu ri ajchak xuꞌtzaqa utaqkil che ri rajaw. Are xutabꞌej rech ri ajchoqꞌe ri ja xyojtajik, xusikꞌij kꞌu ri patanil rech xubꞌij che: Jat aninaq pa taq ri kꞌayibꞌal xuqujeꞌ xoꞌl taq ri ja, ja bꞌa kꞌamaloq ri e mebꞌaibꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri man e tzꞌaqat taq winaq taj, ri maj kaqꞌan, xuqujeꞌ ri e moy.
So the servant returned to his master and reported what [everyone had said]. The owner of the house was angry [when he heard the reasons they gave for not] coming. He said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and alleys of the city [and find] poor and crippled and blind and lame [people, and bring] them here into [my house]!’
22 Ri patanijel xubꞌij che ri rajaw: Xbꞌantaj ri xbꞌij la chwe, kꞌa kꞌo kꞌu na kꞌolibꞌal.
[After the servant went and did that], he [came back and] said, ‘Sir, I have done what you [(sg)] told me to do, but there is still room [for more people].’
23 Ri rajaw xubꞌij che: Jat pa ri nima bꞌe xuqujeꞌ pa taq ri solibꞌal taq bꞌe, chakojo achuqꞌabꞌ, chikimulixik loq ri winaq rech kanoj ri wachoch.
[So] his master said to him, ‘Then go [outside the city]. Search for people along the highways. Search also along the narrow roads with hedges beside them [where homeless people may be staying]. Strongly urge the people in those places to come to [my house]. I want it to be full of [people]!’”
24 Qas kinbꞌij na chiꞌwe, maj jun chike riꞌ ri qas xeꞌnsikꞌij kakikiꞌkotebꞌej ri nunimaqꞌij.
[Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] this: Very few of you [Jewish] people will enjoy my feast, even though [I] invited you [first to eat it with me when I become king].”
25 Ri Jesús kꞌut xtzalqꞌomij kukꞌ ri e sibꞌalaj kꞌi winaq ri e teren chirij xubꞌij chike:
Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
26 We kꞌu kꞌo jun ri karaj kuxik nutijoxel rajawaxik kꞌo na ri kubꞌan chinuloqꞌaxik chikiwach ri unan, rixoqil, e ralkꞌwaꞌl, e rachalal, ranabꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kinuloqꞌaj na in cho areꞌ. We man jewaꞌ kanoꞌjin ri winaq, man kakwin taj kux nutijoxel.
“If anyone comes to me who loves his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters [more than] [HYP] [he loves me], he cannot be my disciple. He must even love me more than he loves his own life!
27 Ri man kareqaj ta ri ucheꞌ ripbꞌal xuqujeꞌ man kinutereneꞌj taj, man kakwin taj kuxik nutijoxel.
[People who are ready to execute a prisoner make] him carry his cross [MET] [to the place where others will nail him] on it. Only those who are willing [to allow others to hurt them and disgrace them] like that because of being my disciples, and who are willing to obey what I teach, can be my disciples.
28 Qaꞌnampe che, kꞌo jun achi ri karaj kuyak jun nimalaj torre. ¿La man nabꞌe katꞌuyiꞌk chi rilik janipa kel wi ri kubꞌano, xuqujeꞌ we kꞌo nim urajil chukꞌisik ri chak?
[I will illustrate] [MET]. If one of you desired to build a (tower/big house), (you would surely first sit down and determine how much it would cost!/would you not first sit down and determine how much it would cost?) [RHQ] Then you would determine whether you had enough money to complete it.
29 Xaq kayoqꞌ riꞌ kumal konojel ri winaq ri kiꞌlowik we xwi kubꞌan ri utakꞌalibꞌal ri ja, man xkwin taj xukꞌiso.
[If you did not do that], if you laid the foundation and were not able to finish [the rest of the tower], everyone who saw it would make fun of you.
30 “Man xkwin ta le kꞌin achi chukꞌisik ri xumajij,” kecha riꞌ ri winaq che.
They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
31 Xuqujeꞌ qaꞌnampe che kꞌo jun taqanel kachꞌoꞌjin rukꞌ jun taqanel chik. ¿La man nabꞌe riꞌ katꞌuyiꞌ chi rilik la rukꞌ lajuj mil achyabꞌ kakwinik kachꞌoꞌjin rukꞌ ri ukꞌamom loq juwinaq mil achyabꞌ?
Or, if a king decided to [send his army to] war against another king, (he would surely first sit down [with those who] advised [him]./would he not first sit down [with those who] advised [him]?) [RHQ] They would determine whether [his army], which had only 10,000 soldiers, could defeat the [other army], which had 20,000 soldiers, and was about to attack his [army].
32 Kutaq bꞌik uꞌtaqoꞌn riꞌ rech keꞌkita jaꞌmaril che riꞌ ri taqanel are naj petinaq wi na, we karilo chi man kakwin taj kachꞌoꞌjin rukꞌ.
If he [decided] that his army could not [defeat that army], he would send messengers to [the other king] while the other army was still far away. He would tell the messengers to say to that king, ‘What things must I do to have peace with your country?’
33 Je xuqujeꞌ xapachin ri man kuya ta kan ronojel ri uqꞌinomal, man kakwin taj kux nutijoxel.
So, similarly, if any one of you does not first decide that you [(sg)] are [willing to] give up all that you have, you cannot be my disciple.”
34 Sibꞌalaj utz ri atzꞌam, we kꞌu kel ri utzayil ri atzꞌam, ¿la xaq jeꞌ kꞌu riꞌ utz na kanoꞌwik?
[Jesus also said, “You are like] [MET] salt, which is useful [to put on food]. But (salt certainly cannot be made {[you] certainly cannot make salt} to taste salty again if it stops tasting salty!/can salt be made {can [you] make salt} to taste salty again if it quits tasting salty?) [RHQ]
35 Man kꞌo ta chi ne riꞌ kutayij, xa ta ne che ri ulew, xa ta ne che uqꞌayisal tikoꞌn, kakꞌyaq bꞌik riꞌ pa mes. Chutatabꞌej bꞌa ri kꞌo uxikin chutatabꞌexik.
[If salt does not taste salty any more], it is not good for the soil or even for the manure heap. [People] throw it away. [The same thing will happen to you if you become useless to God]. If you want to understand what I just said [IDM], you must consider [carefully] what you have heard!”
