Lucas 21
1 Ri Jesús xuꞌkaꞌyej ri qꞌinomabꞌ are tajin kakiya ri kisipanik pa taq ri kꞌolibꞌal rech pa ri Templo rech ri Dios.
[Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
2 Xril xuqujeꞌ jun mebꞌa malkaꞌn ixoq ri xuya kebꞌ qꞌana pwaq pa ri kꞌolibꞌal rech ri sipanik.
He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
3 Xaq jeriꞌ xubꞌij: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi we mebꞌa malkaꞌn ixoq riꞌ, are nim ri usipanik xuya chkiwach konojel ri winaq.
He said [to his disciples], “The truth is that these rich people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs! So [God considers that] [HYP] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the others.”
4 Konojel ri winaq xkiya jubꞌiqꞌ che ri kꞌo kukꞌ, are kꞌu we mebꞌaꞌ ixoq riꞌ xuya ronojel ri urajil tzuqbꞌal ribꞌ.
5 E kꞌo kꞌu jujun chike ri utijoxelabꞌ ri Jesús, tajin kakitzijoj rij ri Templo rech ri Dios, chi sibꞌalaj jeꞌl kakaꞌyik rumal ri jeꞌl taq abꞌaj ri kojtal che, xuqujeꞌ ronojel ri sipanik ri e kꞌo chupam ri e tzujtal che ri Dios, are kꞌu ri Jesús xubꞌij chike:
Some [of Jesus’ disciples] talked about the Temple. [They commented about] the beautiful stones [used in building the Temple] and the other decorations that [people] had given, decorations [that were on the walls]. But he said,
6 Kuꞌriqa na qꞌij chi ronojel waꞌ we kiwilo riꞌ kewulix na, maj jun abꞌaj kakanaj kan puꞌwiꞌ jun abꞌaj chik.
“[I want to tell you something about] these things that you are looking at. [They will be destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will] destroy [these buildings]} [completely]. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {They will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another.”
7 Xkibꞌij kꞌu che: Ajtij, ¿jampaꞌ kꞌu kakꞌulmataj we riꞌ, xuqujeꞌ jas retal chi xa jubꞌiqꞌ chik karaj kakꞌulmatajik?
[Later] his disciples asked him, “Teacher, when will that happen? What will happen [to the temple] to indicate that the things [you(sg) just told us] are about to happen?”
8 Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Qas chichajij iwibꞌ, man kiya ta iwibꞌ pa menkꞌetixik, rumal cher e kꞌi winaq kepe na, kakikoj ri nubꞌiꞌ xuqujeꞌ kakibꞌij: In in Mesías, xnaqajir loq ri qꞌotaj. Man kiꞌtereneꞌj ta kꞌu ri winaq riꞌ.
He said, “[All that I will say is], be sure that you are not deceived {that they do not deceive [you]} [about these things]! Many [people] will come and say (that I [sent them]/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will also [say] ‘It is now the time [when God will begin to rule]!’ Do not follow them [to become their disciples]
9 Man kixiꞌj ta iwibꞌ are kito chi kꞌo chꞌoꞌj kakꞌulmatajik xuqujeꞌ jastaq ri kekꞌexkꞌobꞌik, rumal choqꞌaqꞌ wi chi kape na waꞌ we riꞌ nabꞌe, xa kꞌu man are ta kꞌisbꞌal rech ri uwachulew.
Also, whenever you hear about wars and riots, do not be terrified. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that [the world] will end right away!”
10 Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij: Kechꞌoꞌjin na tinimit kukꞌ tinimit xuqujeꞌ e wok tinimit kukꞌ taq e wok taq tinimit.
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 Kape na nimalaj taq kabꞌraqan, numik, xuqujeꞌ yabꞌil pa ronojel ri tinimit rech uwachulew, xuqujeꞌ kakꞌulmataj na xibꞌibꞌal taq kꞌutbꞌal cho ri kaj.
There will be [big] earthquakes, and in various places there will be famines and plagues. [People will see] things that will terrify them. There will also be unusual things happening in the sky.
12 Xa kꞌu nabꞌe kakibꞌan na kꞌax chiꞌwe, kixkichap na xuqujeꞌ kixkikꞌam na bꞌik pa taq ri Sinagoga xuqujeꞌ kixkikoj na pa cheꞌ rumal rech ri uqꞌalajisaxik ri nubꞌiꞌ, kixkikꞌam na bꞌik chikiwach e taqanel xuqujeꞌ e qꞌatal taq tzij.
But before all these things happen, [some of] you will be persecuted and arrested {people will persecute some of you and arrest you} [MTY]. [Some of] you will be put {They will put [some of] you} [on trial] in the places where you gather to worship, and [you will be thrown] into prison. You will be put on trial {[They] will put you on trial} in front of high government authorities because you are my [MTY] [disciples].
13 Xaq jeriꞌ kayaꞌtaj na bꞌe rech kiniqꞌalajisaj chikiwach.
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 Naꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi man rajawaxik taj kichomaj bꞌik rij jas kibꞌan chutoꞌik iwibꞌ.
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 Rumal in kinya iwetaꞌmabꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri tzij ri kitzalibꞌej uwach ri ikꞌulel rech man kakiriq taj jas kakibꞌan chutzalixik uwach ri itzij, xuqujeꞌ man kekwin taj kakikoj kꞌaꞌmabꞌal pa ibꞌe.
because I will make you wise [HEN] so that you will [know] what to say. As a result, none of your enemies will be able to oppose what you say or (refute you/show that you are wrong).
16 Kabꞌan na bꞌanoj tzij chiꞌwij kumal ri iꞌtat, iꞌwachalal, xuqujeꞌ ri uqꞌabꞌ taq alaxik iwukꞌ, kekamisax kꞌu na jujun chiꞌwe.
[And there will also be other evil things that will happen]: Even your parents and brothers and [other] relatives and friends [who do not believe in me] will (betray you/help your enemies to seize you). They will kill some of you.
17 Konojel ri winaq cho ri uwachulew kixketzelaj na rumal rech ri nubꞌiꞌ.
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 Pune jeriꞌ xa ta ne jun iwiꞌ katzaq na.
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 We ko kixtakꞌiꞌ pa ri ikojobꞌal, kixkolotaj na.
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
20 Xa kꞌu chiwetaꞌmaj chi xqeteqobꞌ loq ri kꞌaxkꞌolal are kiwil ri tinimit Jerusalén sutital rij kumal ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ.
“But when you see that Jerusalem has been surrounded by the armies of [your enemies], you will know that it is time for [this city] to be completely destroyed {[them] to completely destroy [this city]}.
21 Che ri qꞌij riꞌ, ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Judea chaꞌnimaj bꞌik pa taq ri juyubꞌ, xuqujeꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, cheꞌ la bꞌik chilaꞌ, ri e kꞌo xuqujeꞌ cho ri saq, metzalij loq pa ri tinimit.
At that time those [of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills. Those who are in this city must leave [quickly]. Those who are in the nearby countryside must not go back into the city [to get any of their possessions before they flee].
22 Are waꞌ ri qꞌotaj rech ri qꞌatoj tzij, jawjeꞌ ri kakꞌulmataj wi ronojel ri tzꞌibꞌatalik.
[You must obey what I tell you] because, in order that all the things that are written [in the Scriptures] will be fulfilled, [God] will very severely punish [the people who stay in this city].
23 ¡Kꞌax rech ri yawabꞌ ixoq, xuqujeꞌ ri tajin kutubꞌisaj ral pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ! Jeriꞌ rumal nimalaj kꞌaxkꞌolal kape cho ri uwachulew, xuqujeꞌ kꞌaxkꞌolal puꞌwiꞌ we tinimit riꞌ.
[I feel] very sorry for women [in this city] who will be pregnant, and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away! I] feel sorry [because] the people in this [land] will suffer greatly [MTY] [when God punishes them].
24 E kꞌo winaq kekamisax na chi sakꞌibꞌal, xuqujeꞌ e kꞌo kekꞌam na bꞌik, ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj kakibꞌan na kꞌax chike ri winaq aꞌj Jerusalén, kꞌa katzꞌaqat na ri qꞌij ri bꞌiꞌtal loq.
Many of them will be killed {Their enemies will kill many of them} with swords. [Others will be captured] and taken {They will capture [others] and take them} to [HYP] [other] countries. Non-Jewish people will trample over Jerusalem until the time [that God has determined for them to rule the city] is ended.”
25 Kakꞌexkꞌobꞌ na le qꞌij, le ikꞌ xuqujeꞌ le e chꞌumil. Ri winaq ri keꞌl pa taq ri tinimit kakꞌaxkꞌobꞌ na kanimaꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kemayijan na rumal ri uchꞌuꞌjarem ri plo.
“There will also be strange things that will [happen to] the sun, the moon, and the stars. In [many] nations, [people] will be very frightened, and they will be anxious [when they hear] the ocean roaring and [see huge] waves.
26 Kekam na konojel ri winaq che xibꞌin ibꞌ, rumal cher kabꞌirirex na ronojel le uwach le kaj.
People will faint because they will be afraid as they wait for what will happen. [They will be afraid] because the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken {shake}.
27 Kꞌa te riꞌ kakil kꞌu na ri upetibꞌal ri uKꞌojol ri Achi pa jun sutzꞌ, rukꞌ kwinem xuqujeꞌ juluwem.
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
28 Are kuchapleꞌj kꞌulmatajik waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ, chikꞌamawaꞌj ichuqꞌabꞌ, chiwaꞌjilisaj ri kixkaꞌyik rumal cher ri ikolotajem tajin kanaqajir loq chiꞌwe.
So when these things that [I have just now described] begin to happen, stand up [straight and] be brave, because it will be close to the time when [God] will free you [from all suffering].”
29 Ri Jesús xutzijoj chike we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ: Chiwilampeꞌ ri ucheꞌal ri higuera xuqujeꞌ ri nikꞌaj taq cheꞌ chik.
[Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
30 Are kakichapleꞌj ukꞌiyik loq ri kixaq, ix iwetaꞌm chi are xqet loq ri qꞌalaj.
As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
31 Je xuqujeꞌ chiwetaꞌmaj chi are kekꞌulmataj we jastaq riꞌ, xqeteqobꞌ la riꞌ ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
Similarly, when you see these things that [I have just described] happening, you will know that it is almost time for God to [truly] rule as king.
32 Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe kikꞌow na ronojel we jastaq riꞌ kꞌa te riꞌ kikꞌow we qꞌij junabꞌ riꞌ.
Keep this in mind: All the things that [I have just now described] will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
33 Ri kaj xuqujeꞌ ri uwachulew kasach na kiwach, are kꞌu ri nutzij man kasach ta uwach.
[You can be certain that these things] that I have told [you] about will happen. That they will happen is more [certain] than that the earth and sky will continue to exist.”
34 Qas chichajij iwibꞌ, rech man kakowir ta ri iwanimaꞌ rumal ri karkꞌatem, xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌabꞌarik, je xuqujeꞌ rumal kakꞌaxir iwanimaꞌ rumal taq ri jastaq rech uwachulew, rumal ta ne riꞌ maj kinabꞌej are kuriq ri qꞌij riꞌ.
“But be on guard. Do not be getting drunk with carousing or let yourselves be distracted by worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] {or let worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] distract you}. [If you do wrong things like those, you may be suddenly surprised by my return] [MTY], like a trap [suddenly catches an animal in it].
35 Rumal ri qꞌij riꞌ, je kꞌo jun kꞌaꞌmabꞌal chike konojel ri winaq rech ri uwachulew.
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 Qas chixkꞌasloq, chibꞌana chꞌawem rech man kiriq ta ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri xa jubꞌiqꞌ karaj kakꞌulmatajik, rech kixkwinik kiꞌwila uwach ri uKꞌojol ri Achi.
So be ready at all times. Pray that you will be able to endure without being afraid of all these [difficult] things that will happen, so that you will then stand [confidently] before me, the one who came from heaven.”
37 Ri Jesús chi paqꞌij xuya kꞌutuꞌn pa ri Templo, chaqꞌabꞌ xeꞌ puꞌwiꞌ ri juyubꞌ ubꞌiꞌ Olivos.
Each day [during that week Jesus] taught the people in the Temple [courtyard in Jerusalem]. But at night he [and his disciples] left [the city] and stayed on Olive [Tree] Hill.
38 Konojel ri winaq sibꞌalaj aqꞌabꞌ xkimulij kibꞌ chutatabꞌexik ri utzij pa ri Templo.
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
