Lucas 18
1 Ri Jesús xutzijoj jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chike ri utijoxelabꞌ chukꞌutik chi sibꞌalaj choqꞌaqꞌ wi kakibꞌan chꞌawem man kakꞌis taj ta kikꞌuꞌx.
And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;
2 Xubꞌij kꞌu chike: Kꞌo jun qꞌatal tzij pa jun tinimit ri man kuxiꞌj ta ribꞌ cho ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ man kuꞌnimaj ta ri winaq.
Saying, There was a judge in a certain town, who had no fear of God or respect for man:
3 Pa ri tinimit xuqujeꞌ kꞌo jun malkaꞌn ixoq ri kꞌo jun uchꞌoꞌj, xeꞌ kꞌu rukꞌ ri qꞌatal tzij chutayik chi kuqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri ukꞌulel.
And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.
4 Pune naj qꞌotaj man xraj taj xubꞌan ri qꞌatoj tzij, kꞌisbꞌal kꞌu rech xubꞌij: “Pune man kinxiꞌj ta wibꞌ cho ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ man keꞌ ta nukꞌuꞌx rukꞌ jun chike.
And for a time he would not: but later, he said to himself, Though I have no fear of God or respect for man,
5 Xa kꞌu rumal man kel ta we ixoq riꞌ wukꞌ, kinbꞌan waꞌ ri qꞌatoj tzij, rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ kinqꞌiꞌtaj are kape sibꞌalaj kꞌi mul chiwilik.”
Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming.
6 Xubꞌij kꞌu ri Ajawxel Jesús: Qas kichomaj rij ri xubꞌij ri itzel qꞌatal tzij.
And the Lord said, Give ear to the words of the evil judge.
7 ¿La man kꞌu kuqꞌat tzij ri Dios kukꞌ ri winaq ri uchaꞌom, we chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ kechꞌaw rukꞌ? ¿La kꞌamaꞌtam ta kꞌu riꞌ kutzalij uwach ri kichꞌawem?
And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?
8 Qas kubꞌan wi na riꞌ ri qꞌatoj tzij pa kiwiꞌ aninaq, pune jeriꞌ are kape ri Ukꞌojol ri Achi, ¿la kulu winaq ri kuꞌl kikꞌuꞌx che ri Dios?
I say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?
9 E kꞌo kꞌu jujun winaq ri kuꞌl kikꞌuꞌx chibꞌil taq kibꞌ, e sukꞌ kakinaꞌo, kaketzelaj kiwach ri e nikꞌaj winaq chik. Rumal riꞌ ri Jesús xutzijoj jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chike:
And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of others:
10 E kꞌo kebꞌ achyabꞌ, xebꞌe pa ri Templo chubꞌanik chꞌawem, ri jun fariseo, ri jun chik jun toqꞌil alkabal.
Two men went up to the Temple for prayer; one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-farmer.
11 Are xubꞌan chꞌawem ri fariseo xubꞌij: “Kintyoxin che la o Dios, rumal man in junam ta kukꞌ ri eleqꞌomabꞌ taq achyabꞌ, e bꞌanal taq kꞌax, e kakabꞌ kixoqil, xuqujeꞌ man in junam ta rukꞌ we achi riꞌ we toqꞌil alkabal.
The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.
12 Ri in kinqꞌip wibꞌ che nuwaꞌim kebꞌ mul pa wuqubꞌ qꞌij, xuqujeꞌ kinya ri ulajujil rech ronojel ri nuchꞌekoj.”
Twice in the week I go without food; I give a tenth of all I have.
13 Are kꞌu ri toqꞌil alkabal naj xkanaj wi kanoq, xa ta ne kuwaꞌjilisaj ri uwach cho ri kaj, kutꞌikitaꞌ ri uwach ukꞌuꞌx xubꞌij: “Cheꞌl kꞌuꞌx la chwe o Dios, wetaꞌm chi in ajmak.”
The tax-farmer, on the other hand, keeping far away, and not lifting up even his eyes to heaven, made signs of grief and said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
14 Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi we achi riꞌ, sukꞌ ranimaꞌ xtzalij cho rachoch man je ta kꞌu ri fariseo, rumal iwetaꞌm chi xapachin ri kunimarisaj ribꞌ kanitzꞌarisax na uqꞌij, xapachin xuqujeꞌ ri kumochꞌ ribꞌ kanimarisax na uqꞌij.
I say to you, This man went back to his house with God's approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.
15 Xekꞌam kꞌu bꞌik akꞌalabꞌ cho ri Jesús rech kuya ri uqꞌabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ. Are xkil ri tijoxelabꞌ, xeꞌkiyaj ri e kꞌamowinaq bꞌik.
And they took their children to him, so that he might put his hands on them: but when the disciples saw it, they said sharp words to them
16 Ri Jesús kꞌut xuꞌsikꞌij ri akꞌalabꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij chike ri winaq: Chiya bꞌe chike ri akꞌalabꞌ kepe wukꞌ, man kiꞌqꞌil taj, rumal chi are ajchoqꞌe ri ajawarem rech ri Dios ri winaq ri kakubꞌiꞌ kikꞌuꞌx jetaq ri akꞌalabꞌ.
But Jesus sent for them, saying, Let the children come to me, and do not keep them away, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
17 Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, ri man kukꞌamawaꞌj ta ri ajawarem rech ri Dios jetaq ri kubꞌan jun laj akꞌal, man kwinel ta riꞌ kok chilaꞌ.
Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.
18 Jun chike ri kꞌamal bꞌe xuta che ri Jesús: Utz laj ajtij, ¿jas rajawaxik kinbꞌano chi rechabꞌexik ri jun alik kꞌaslemal? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: ¿Jas che kabꞌij chi in utz? Man kꞌo ta chi jun winaq ri utz, xwi ri Dios.
And Jesus said to him, Why do you say that I am good? No one is good, but only God.
20 Awetaꞌm ri kubꞌij ri taqanik: man katzukuj ta chi jun awixoqil, man kabꞌan ta kamisanik, man katelaqꞌ taj, man kabꞌan ta bꞌanoj tzij chirij jun winaq chik, xuqujeꞌ chaꞌnimaj ri atat anan.
You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.
21 Ri achi xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Pa ri walkꞌaꞌlal numajim la unimaxik waꞌ we ri, kꞌa xaq jeꞌ ne kinnimaj kamik.
And he said, All these things I have done from the time when I was a boy.
22 Are xuta ri Jesús ri xubꞌij ri achi che, xubꞌij: Xa chi jun jastaq kajawataj chawe, chakꞌayij kan ronojel ri kꞌo awukꞌ. Kꞌa te riꞌ chajacha ri rajil chike ri e mebꞌaibꞌ, kayaꞌtaj kꞌu na aqꞌinomal chilaꞌ chikaj. Kꞌa te riꞌ chatan loq chinatereneꞌj.
And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.
23 Are xutabꞌej rech ri achi, xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ri ranimaꞌ, rumal sibꞌalaj qꞌinom.
But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth.
24 Are xril ri Jesús chi xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ranimaꞌ xubꞌij: Sibꞌalaj kꞌax okem ke ri qꞌinomabꞌ pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!
25 Are man kꞌax taj kubꞌan jun kamey kikꞌow pa ri uteqꞌal ri bꞌaq rech tꞌisoꞌmabꞌal cho ri jun qꞌinom ri karaj kok pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man who has much money to come into the kingdom of God.
26 Ri winaq ri xetow ri xubꞌij ri Jesús, xkibꞌij: ¿Jachin kꞌu riꞌ kakwin chukolik ribꞌ?
And those who were present said, Then who may have salvation?
27 Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri Dios kwinel chubꞌanik ri man kakwin ta ri achi che.
But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.
28 Ri Pedro xubꞌij che: Chilampe la, ri uj xqaya kan ronojel ri qajastaq rumal tereneꞌxik la.
And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after you.
29 Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri winaq ri xuya kan rachoch, rixoqil, e rachalal, utat unan xuqujeꞌ e ralkꞌwaꞌl
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God,
31 Ri Jesús xukꞌam bꞌik ri kabꞌlajuj utijoxelabꞌ xaq kitukel, xubꞌij chike: Chanim kujeꞌ pa Jerusalén, chilaꞌ kakꞌulmataj wi ronojel ri xkitzꞌibꞌaj ri e qꞌalajisal taq tzij rech ri Dios kakꞌulmataj na rukꞌ ri Ukꞌojol ri Achi.
And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.
32 Kajach na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, kayoqꞌ na, kabꞌix na kꞌax taq tzij che, kachubꞌax na upalaj.
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, and will be made sport of and put to shame:
33 Karapux na, xuqujeꞌ kakamisax na, xa kꞌu kakꞌastaj na churox qꞌij.
And he will be given cruel blows and put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.
34 Ri tijoxelabꞌ man xkichꞌobꞌ taj ri xbꞌix chike. Rumal cher xawax chikiwach ri kel kubꞌij we jastaq riꞌ.
But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.
35 Are xopan ri Jesús chuxukut ri tinimit Jericó, kꞌo jun moy tꞌuyul chuchiꞌ ri bꞌe, kuta ulimoxna.
And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.
36 Are xuto chi e kꞌi winaq tajin kiꞌkꞌowik, xuta chike ri winaq jas ri tajin kakꞌulmatajik.
And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?
37 Ri winaq xkibꞌij che: Are ri Jesús aj Nazaret ri tajin kikꞌow waral.
And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.
38 Ri moy xuraqaqej uchiꞌ, xubꞌij: Jesús, Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri David, cheꞌl kuꞌx la chwe.
And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Ri winaq ri e nabꞌe apanoq choch xkibꞌij che chi katanik, xa kꞌu kꞌo na ri xubꞌan churaqik uchiꞌ: Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri David, che la kuꞌx la chwe.
And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Xtakꞌiꞌ kꞌu ri Jesús, xtaqan chukꞌamik apanoq ri achi. Are xqet chuxukut, ri Jesús xuta che:
And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,
41 ¿Jas kawaj kinbꞌan chawe? Ri moy xubꞌij: Ajawxel, kawaj kinkaꞌyik.
What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again.
42 Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Chakꞌamawaꞌj ri akaꞌyebꞌal. Xatutzir rumal ri akojobꞌal.
And Jesus said, See again: your faith has made you well.
43 Aninaq xkaꞌyik, xteriꞌ kꞌu chirij ri Jesús, kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios, konojel kꞌu ri winaq ri xkilo xkiqꞌijilaꞌj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios.
And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
