Lucas 15
1 E kꞌi kꞌu aꞌjmakibꞌ xuqujeꞌ e tal taq alkabal xeqet rukꞌ ri Jesús chutatabꞌexik.
Now the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners were everywhere in the habit of coming close to Him to listen to Him;
2 Rumal riꞌ ri e fariseos xuqujeꞌ ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xkichapleꞌj wixwatem xkibꞌij: Waꞌ we achi riꞌ kuꞌkꞌamawaꞌj xuqujeꞌ kawaꞌ kukꞌ ri aꞌjmakibꞌ.
and this led the Pharisees and the Scribes indignantly to complain, saying, "He gives a welcome to notorious sinners, and joins them at their meals!"
3 Ri Jesús kꞌut xutzijoj we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ chike:
So in figurative language He asked them,
4 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?
"Which of you men, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in their pasture and go in search of the lost one till he finds it?
5 Are kuriq ri uchij sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkotik, kukꞌyaq loq chwi utelebꞌ.
And when he has found it, he lifts it on his shoulder, glad at heart.
6 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.”
Then coming home he calls his friends and neighbours together, and says, 'Congratulate me, for I have found my sheep--the one I had lost.'
7 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.
I tell you that in the same way there will be rejoicing in Heaven over one repentant sinner--more rejoicing than over ninety-nine blameless persons who have no need of repentance.
8 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?
"Or what woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully till she finds it?
9 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.”
And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, and says, "'Congratulate me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.'
10 Ri Dios xuqujeꞌ e rachiꞌl ri angelibꞌ kekiꞌkotik are kukꞌex ukꞌuꞌx ri jun ajmak.
"I tell you that in the same way there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one repentant sinner."
11 Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Kꞌo jun achi, ri e kꞌo kebꞌ ralkꞌwaꞌl.
He went on to say, "There was a man who had two sons.
12 Ri koꞌl chike xubꞌij che ri utat: “Tat, ya la ri wechabꞌal.” Xaq jeriꞌ ri tat xujach ri umebꞌail chike ri uꞌkꞌojol.
The younger of them said to his father, "'Father, give me the share of the property that comes to me.' "So he divided his wealth between them.
13 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.
No long time afterwards the younger son got all together and travelled to a distant country, where he wasted his money in debauchery and excess.
14 Xa kꞌu are xsachtaj ronojel ri urajil, xpe jun nimalaj wiꞌjal pa ri tinimit riꞌ, xuchapleꞌj kꞌu numik.
At last, when he had spent everything, there came a terrible famine throughout that country, and he began to feel the pinch of want.
15 Xuriq kꞌu jun achi, xuta uchak che. Ri achi xuya uchak ri ala, xutaq bꞌik chikiyuqꞌuxik aq cho jun saq.
So he went and hired himself to one of the inhabitants of that country, who sent him on to his farm to tend swine;
16 Sibꞌalaj are kꞌu karaj kutij ri kechaꞌ ri aq, xa kꞌu maj jachin ri kayoꞌw che.
and he longed to make a hearty meal of the pods the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
17 Kꞌisbꞌal kꞌu rech xuchomaj: “Sibꞌalaj kꞌo kiwa ri rajchak ri nutat, ri in kꞌut tajin kinkam che numik waral.
"But on coming to himself he said, "'How many of my father's hired men have more bread than they want, while I here am dying of hunger!
18 Kintzalij waꞌ cho rachoch ri nutat, kinbꞌij waꞌ che: ‘Xinmakun cho ri Dios xuqujeꞌ cho la nutat.
I will rise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you:
19 Man taqal ta chi chwe kabꞌij kꞌojol la chwe, bꞌana la chi kinux jun ajchak la.’”
I no longer deserve to be called a son of yours: treat me as one of your hired men.'
20 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.
"So he rose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and pitied him, and ran and threw his arms round his neck and kissed him tenderly.
21 “Tat, ri in xinmakunik cho ri kaj xuqujeꞌ cho la, taqal ta chi chwe kabꞌij kꞌojol la chwe,” xcha ri ala.
"'Father,' cried the son, 'I have sinned against Heaven and before you: no longer do I deserve to be called a son of yours.'
22 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.
"But the father said to his servants, "'Fetch a good coat quickly--the best one--and put it on him; and bring a ring for his finger and shoes for his feet.
23 Jiꞌkꞌama loq xuqujeꞌ chikamisaj ri chomalaj wakax rech kaqabꞌan nimaqꞌij.
Fetch the fat calf and kill it, and let us feast and enjoy ourselves;
24 Rumal cher ri nukꞌojol ri xkamik, xkꞌastaj chi kꞌu na loq, waꞌ sachik, xa kꞌu xqariq na.” Xaq jeriꞌ xkichapleꞌj ubꞌanik nimaqꞌij.
for my son here was dead and has come to life again: he was lost and has been found.' "And they began to be merry.
25 Are kꞌu ri nabꞌyal kꞌojolaxel bꞌenaq cho ri saq, are kꞌu xtzalij loq xuta ri qꞌojom rech ri xojow.
"Now his elder son was out on the farm; and when he returned and came near home, he heard music and dancing.
26 Xusikꞌij kꞌu jun chike ri patanijelabꞌ, xuta che jas tajin kakꞌulmatajik.
Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant.
27 Xubꞌij kꞌu ri patanijel che: “Xtzalij loq ri achaqꞌ, utz uwach, rumal kꞌu rech xtaqan ri atat chukamisaxik ri chomalaj wakax.”
"'Your brother has come,' he replied; 'and your father has had the fat calf killed, because he has got him home safe and sound.'
28 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.
"Then he was angry and would not go in. But his father came out and entreated him.
29 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.
"'All these years,' replied the son, 'I have been slaving for you, and I have never at any time disobeyed any of your orders, and yet you have never given me so much as a kid, for me to enjoy myself with my friends;
30 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.”
but now that this son of yours is come who has eaten up your property among his bad women, you have killed the fat calf for him.'
31 Ri tataxel xubꞌij che: “Nukꞌojol, at kꞌolinaq wi at wukꞌ, ronojel ri nujastaq awe at.
"'You my dear son,' said the father, 'are always with me, and all that is mine is also yours.
32 Xa kꞌu rajawaxik xqabꞌan nimaqꞌij, xuqujeꞌ xujkiꞌkotik rumal cher we awachalal we xkamik, xkꞌastaj loq, pune xsach na, xqariq chi kꞌu na.”
We are bound to make merry and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life, he was lost and has been found.'"
