Luke 12
1 In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq kꞌut xkimulij kibꞌ, xaq kakitakꞌaleꞌla chi kibꞌ, xpe kꞌu ri Jesús xuchapleꞌj kichꞌabꞌexik, nabꞌe xubꞌij chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: Chichajij iwibꞌ che ri chꞌam kech ri fariseos, pa nikꞌaj tzij chik, ri kikawachil.
2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
Rumal chi maj jun jastaq ri man etaꞌmatal taj ri mat kilitaj na, xuqujeꞌ maj jun jastaq awatalik ri mat ketaꞌmataj na.
3 What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.
Rumal riꞌ ronojel ri ibꞌim pa ri qꞌequꞌmal katataj na cho ri utunal ri qꞌij, xuqujeꞌ ri ibꞌim chi awal are itzꞌapim ri uchiꞌ ja, karaqaqex na ubꞌixik puꞌwiꞌ taq ri ja.
4 I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
Chiꞌwe ix wech chꞌabꞌeꞌn kinbꞌij man kixiꞌj ta iwibꞌ chike ri kekamisan ri ityoꞌjal, rumal xwi riꞌ kekwinik kakibꞌano.
5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him! (Geenna g1067)
Kinbꞌij chiꞌwe jachin choch rajawaxik kixiꞌj wi iwibꞌ, chixiꞌj iwibꞌ choch ri are kesataj ri kꞌaslemal rumal, kꞌo ukwinem kixutaq bꞌik pa ri tyoꞌnel qꞌaqꞌ, jeꞌ cho areꞌ rajawaxik kixiꞌj wi iwibꞌ. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
¿La man kebꞌ saqa pwaq kajil ri jobꞌ chochiꞌ? Pune jeriꞌ man kesachan ta che ri Dios.
7 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Rumal cher ri Dios rajilam ronojel ri ukꞌiyal ri iwiꞌ ri kꞌo pa ijolom, xaq jeriꞌ man kixiꞌj ta iwibꞌ.
8 I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.
Kinbꞌij kꞌu chiꞌwe xapachin ri kinuqꞌalajisaj chikiwach ri winaq, kaqꞌalajisax xuqujeꞌ na uwach chikiwach ri angelibꞌ rech ri Dios rumal ri uKꞌojol ri Achi.
9 But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
Xapachin kꞌu ri karawaj nubꞌixik chkiwach ri winaq man kaqꞌalajisax ta ri ubꞌiꞌ chikiwach ri angelibꞌ rech ri Dios.
10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Xapachin ri kubꞌij jun itzel tzij che ri uKꞌojol ri Achi, kakuyutaj na. Are kꞌu ri winaq ri karetzelaj uwach ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel rukꞌ taq tzij, man kakuyutaj taj.
11 When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.
Are kixtakꞌatobꞌ pa ri Sinagoga xuqujeꞌ chikiwach ri qꞌatal taq tzij, xuqujeꞌ ri e taqanelabꞌ, man kakꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ta iwanimaꞌ chuchomaxik jas kibꞌan chutoꞌik iwibꞌ.
12 For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”
Are ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel kakꞌutuw chiꞌwach ri rajawaxik kibꞌij.
13 Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Kꞌo kꞌu jun achi chikixoꞌl ri winaq, xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Ajtij, bꞌij la che ri wachalal chujacha ri echabꞌal chiqawach.
14 But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”
Ri Jesús kꞌut xubꞌij che: Achi, ¿jachin xbꞌin chawe chi in in qꞌatal tzij pa iwiꞌ?
15 And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
Chichajij iwibꞌ che ri kꞌarkꞌatem rumal cher man are taj ri ukꞌiyal ri uqꞌinomal ri winaq ri kayoꞌw ukꞌaslemal.
16 Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.
Xutzijoj kꞌu chike we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ: Kꞌo jun qꞌinom achi, ri sibꞌalaj xwachin ri rulew.
17 So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’
Xuchomaj kꞌut: “¿Jas kinbꞌano? ¿Jawjeꞌ kinyak wi ronojel ri nutikoꞌn ri xwachinik?”
18 Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.
Kꞌisbꞌal rech xubꞌij: “Wetaꞌm jas kinbꞌano, kintukij na ri nukꞌolibꞌal jawjeꞌ ri kinyak wi ri uwach ri nutikoꞌn, kinyak chi na jun sibꞌalaj nim cho ri kꞌo kan nabꞌe, rech utz kinbꞌan chuyakik ronojel ri nutikoꞌn.
19 Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
Kinbꞌij kꞌu na, wanimaꞌ sibꞌalaj kꞌi ajastaq rech kꞌi junabꞌ yakalik. Xaq bꞌa chatuxlanoq, chatwoꞌq, chatqumunoq, chakiꞌkotebꞌej ri kꞌaslemal.”
20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’
Xubꞌij kꞌu ri Dios che: “¡Konalaj achi! Chaqꞌabꞌ kamik katkamik. ¿Jachin kꞌu pa uqꞌabꞌ kakanaj wi kan ri ajastaq ri amulim?”
21 This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”
Jewaꞌ kakꞌulmataj kukꞌ ri winaq ri kakimulij qꞌinomal xaq ke aꞌreꞌ, man are ta kakitzukuj kuꞌx qꞌinomabꞌ cho ri Dios.
22 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij ri Jesús chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: Rumal riꞌ kinbꞌij chiꞌwe we are ri Dios yoꞌwinaq ri ikꞌaslemal, are xuqujeꞌ kayoꞌw na ri iwa, we are ri Dios yoꞌwinaq ri ityoꞌjal are xuqujeꞌ kayoꞌw na ri iwatzꞌyaq.
23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
Are nim na rajil ri kꞌaslemal cho ri tijowik rij, je xuqujeꞌ are nim ubꞌanik ri ityoꞌjal cho ri iwatzꞌyaq.
24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
¡Chiꞌwilampe ri joj! Man keꞌtikoꞌnij taj, xuqujeꞌ man kejachꞌan taj, xuqujeꞌ Man kꞌo ta kikaxon chuyakik ri kakijachꞌo. Pune jeriꞌ, ri Dios kuya kiwa. Ix kꞌut ix kꞌo na chikiwach ri aꞌwaj ri kerapinik.
25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
¿Jachin ta kꞌu chiꞌwe rukꞌ ri kakꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ukꞌuꞌx kakwinik kuya jubꞌiqꞌ uwiꞌ ri ukꞌaslemal?
26 So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?
¿Jas che kakꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ikꞌuꞌx chike nikꞌaj winaq chik, la man kinaꞌo chi man kixkwin ta chubꞌanik xa ta ne jun nitzꞌ laj jastaq?
27 Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
Chiwilampeꞌ ri kotzꞌiꞌj, man kechakun taj, man kakisol ta bꞌatzꞌ, pune jeriꞌ, ri Salomón rukꞌ ronojel ri ujuluwem man xkwin taj je xatzꞌyaqinik jetaq ri aꞌreꞌ.
28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!
We jeriꞌ kubꞌan ri Dios kukꞌ ri qꞌayes, ri tikil kamik cho ri saq chweꞌq kꞌut kaporoxik, are kꞌu mat kuya iwatzꞌyaq ix, winaq ri xa nitzꞌ ikojobꞌal.
29 And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.
Xaq jeriꞌ man kakꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ta ikꞌuꞌx che ri kitijo xuqujeꞌ ri kiqumuj, chixtanal che uchomaxik rij.
30 For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
Ri winaq aꞌjuwachulew are kitereneꞌm utzukuxik ronojel waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ, ri iTat kꞌut retaꞌm chi rajawaxik ronojel waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ chiꞌwe.
31 But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
Are chitzukuj ix ri rawajarem ri Dios, xaq kꞌu katerebꞌax na uyaꞌik ronojel waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ chiꞌwe.
32 Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
Ri utz laj urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Tataxel are chi kuya na ri ajawarem chiꞌwe, man kixiꞌj ta bꞌa iwibꞌ alaj taq nuchij.
33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Chikꞌayij ri ijastaq rech kiya kirajil ri kajawataj chike. Chiloqꞌo yakbꞌal irajil ri man kajar taj, chimulij ri iqꞌinomal chilaꞌ chikaj, jawjeꞌ e maj wi eleqꞌomabꞌ, xuqujeꞌ maj iꞌxjut kok che.
34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Rumal ri iwanimaꞌ kakꞌojiꞌ na jawjeꞌ ri kꞌo wi ri iqꞌinomal.
35 Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.
Chitzija bꞌa ri qꞌaqꞌ tunabꞌal, chisukꞌumaj iwibꞌ, chikojo ri iwatzꞌyaq ri jas xaqareꞌ chiꞌwe.
36 Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.
Je chixnoꞌjinoq jetaq ri kakibꞌan ri ajchakibꞌ aninaq kakijaq ri uchiꞌ ja cho ri kipatrón ri upetik pa ri nimaqꞌij rech jun kꞌulanem.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.
Utz ke ri patanijelabꞌ ri kuleꞌriqitajoq kayeꞌm apanoq ri kajaw. Qas kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, are kul ri kajaw kukꞌex riꞌ ri ratzꞌyaq, kuꞌtaq pa tꞌuyulem ri e rajchakibꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kok chikipatanixik.
38 Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.
Jeꞌ, utz ke ri ajchakibꞌ ri pune nikꞌaj aqꞌabꞌ, o sibꞌalaj aqꞌabꞌ kisukꞌumam apanoq kibꞌ are kuleꞌriqitajoq.
39 But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
Chichꞌobꞌo kꞌu rij we riꞌ, we kꞌo jun ajchoqꞌe jun ja ri retaꞌm jas qꞌotaj kok ri elaqꞌom pa ri rachoch, kakꞌasiꞌ riꞌ chuchajixik rech man kok ta ri elaqꞌom pa ri ja.
40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”
Rajawaxik je kibꞌan apanoq ix, rumal chi ri uKꞌojol ri Achi kapetik are man ichomanik ta apanoq.
41 “Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”
Are kꞌu ri Pedro xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Ajawxel ¿la chike konojel le winaq katzijoj wi la we kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ o xaq chaqe uj?
42 And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?
Xubꞌij ri Jesús: ¿La kariqitaj jun utz laj patanijel ri kꞌo retaꞌmabꞌal, kachilibꞌex kan che kuya kiwa ri ajchakibꞌ pa ri kꞌyaqalik qꞌotaj?
43 Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
Utz rech ri ajchak ri are katzalij loq ri rajaw tajin kubꞌan apanoq ri upatan.
44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
Qas kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, riꞌ ri winaq riꞌ kukoj che chajil rech ronojel ri ujastaq.
45 But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.
Jas kꞌu kakꞌulmataj riꞌ we kuchomaj ri ajchak chi kabꞌeyetaj riꞌ ri wajaw, kuchapleꞌj kꞌut kichꞌayik ri ajchakibꞌ achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ, kuchapleꞌj waꞌim xuqujeꞌ qꞌabꞌarik.
46 The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
Katzalij kꞌu loq ri rajaw we ajchak riꞌ, pa ri qꞌij xuqujeꞌ pa ri qꞌotaj ri man ayeꞌtal ta apanoq rumal ri rajchak, kaqꞌat kꞌu na tzij puꞌwiꞌ jetaq ri kabꞌan chike ri man e kojonelabꞌ taj.
47 That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.
Kul chꞌaya kꞌu na ri patanijel ri man ubꞌanom ta apanoq jas ri karaj ri patrón.
48 But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.
Ri patanijel kꞌut ri man retaꞌm taj jas ri rayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri rajaw, kubꞌan kꞌu apanoq jun jastaq ri man utz taj, kaqꞌat tzij riꞌ puꞌwiꞌ xa kꞌu man sibꞌalaj kꞌax taj kabꞌan che. Ri nim yaꞌtal che, nim na katoqꞌix che, xuqujeꞌ ri nim kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx yaꞌtal che, sibꞌalaj nim na kata che.
49 I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
Nukꞌamom la in qꞌaqꞌ cho ri uwachulew, kꞌo ta bꞌa ne wi kajinin chik.
50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Xa kꞌu kinikꞌow na pa ri jun kꞌax laj etabꞌal jetaq ri kabꞌan che ri qasanaꞌ, kꞌaxkꞌobꞌinaq kꞌu ri wanimaꞌ, kꞌa pa ri qꞌij ri kakꞌulmataj na we jastaq riꞌ.
51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
¿Teꞌq pa ikꞌuꞌx ix chi jaꞌmaril nukꞌamom la cho ri uwachulew? Man je ta kꞌu riꞌ, tukinem nukꞌamom loq.
52 From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.
Kamik kꞌut kachapleꞌtaj bꞌik ri paꞌin ibꞌ pa ri ja kꞌolibꞌal, jawjeꞌ ri e kꞌo wi jobꞌ winaq, oꞌxibꞌ kakibꞌan na kikꞌulel chike ri e kebꞌ, xuqujeꞌ ri e kebꞌ winaq kuꞌx na kikꞌulel ri oxibꞌ.
53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
Kechꞌoꞌjin na ri tat rukꞌ ri ukꞌojol, ri kꞌojolaxel kachꞌoꞌjin na rukꞌ ri utat, ri nan kachꞌoꞌjin na rukꞌ ri ral ali, xuqujeꞌ ri ali kachꞌoꞌjin na rukꞌ ri unan. Ri alibꞌ chuchuꞌ kachꞌoꞌjin na rukꞌ ri ralibꞌ ali, xuqujeꞌ ri alibꞌatz kachꞌoꞌjin na rukꞌ ri ralibꞌ ixoq.
54 Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.
Xuqujeꞌ xubꞌij ri Jesús chike ri sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq: Kibꞌij ix chi kubꞌan jabꞌ are xaq kꞌa teꞌ kiwilo kapaqiꞌ la jun sutzꞌ, qas je kꞌu wi riꞌ kakꞌulmatajik.
55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.
Are kape ri kyaqiqꞌ chuxukut ulew ri kajichꞌichꞌik kubꞌan qꞌaqꞌ waꞌ kixcha ix, qas je kꞌu wi riꞌ kakꞌulmatajik.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?
Kawach taq winaq, iwetaꞌm kichꞌobꞌ rij ri kakꞌulmataj cho ri kaj xuqujeꞌ cho ri uwachulew. ¿Jas kꞌu che man kixkwin taj kisol rij ri qꞌotaj ri uj kꞌo wi kamik?
57 And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
¿Jas che man kichomaj taj ri qas sukꞌ ubꞌanik?
58 Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.
We kꞌo ne jun akꞌulel, ri rumal re kꞌa te cho ri qꞌatbꞌal tzij, chatzukuj jas kabꞌan che utayik toqꞌobꞌ che pa ri bꞌe, rech man katukꞌam ta bꞌik cho ri qꞌatal tzij, riꞌ ri qꞌatal tzij katuya bꞌik puꞌqꞌabꞌ ri katkꞌamow bꞌik pa cheꞌ rech katok kanoq pa cheꞌ.
59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
Kinbꞌij kꞌu chawe chi we man katoj kan ri kꞌisbꞌal centaw akꞌas, man katel ta la riꞌ chilaꞌ.
