Luke 18
1 Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
Ri Jesús xutzijoj jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chike ri utijoxelabꞌ chukꞌutik chi sibꞌalaj choqꞌaqꞌ wi kakibꞌan chꞌawem man kakꞌis taj ta kikꞌuꞌx.
2 “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
Xubꞌij kꞌu chike: Kꞌo jun qꞌatal tzij pa jun tinimit ri man kuxiꞌj ta ribꞌ cho ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ man kuꞌnimaj ta ri winaq.
3 And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
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.
4 For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
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.
5 yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
Xa kꞌu rumal man kel ta we ixoq riꞌ wukꞌ, kinbꞌan waꞌ ri qꞌatoj tzij, rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ kinqꞌiꞌtaj are kape sibꞌalaj kꞌi mul chiwilik.”
6 And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
Xubꞌij kꞌu ri Ajawxel Jesús: Qas kichomaj rij ri xubꞌij ri itzel qꞌatal tzij.
7 Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?
¿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?
8 I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
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?
9 To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
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:
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
E kꞌo kebꞌ achyabꞌ, xebꞌe pa ri Templo chubꞌanik chꞌawem, ri jun fariseo, ri jun chik jun toqꞌil alkabal.
11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
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.
12 I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
Ri in kinqꞌip wibꞌ che nuwaꞌim kebꞌ mul pa wuqubꞌ qꞌij, xuqujeꞌ kinya ri ulajujil rech ronojel ri nuchꞌekoj.”
13 But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
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.”
14 I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
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.
15 Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.
Xekꞌam kꞌu bꞌik akꞌalabꞌ cho ri Jesús rech kuya ri uqꞌabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ. Are xkil ri tijoxelabꞌ, xeꞌkiyaj ri e kꞌamowinaq bꞌik.
16 But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
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.
17 Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
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.
18 Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Jun chike ri kꞌamal bꞌe xuta che ri Jesús: Utz laj ajtij, ¿jas rajawaxik kinbꞌano chi rechabꞌexik ri jun alik kꞌaslemal? (aiōnios g166)
19 “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: ¿Jas che kabꞌij chi in utz? Man kꞌo ta chi jun winaq ri utz, xwi ri Dios.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
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.
21 “All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
Ri achi xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Pa ri walkꞌaꞌlal numajim la unimaxik waꞌ we ri, kꞌa xaq jeꞌ ne kinnimaj kamik.
22 On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
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.
23 But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
Are xutabꞌej rech ri achi, xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ri ranimaꞌ, rumal sibꞌalaj qꞌinom.
24 Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
Are xril ri Jesús chi xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ranimaꞌ xubꞌij: Sibꞌalaj kꞌax okem ke ri qꞌinomabꞌ pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
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.
26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
Ri winaq ri xetow ri xubꞌij ri Jesús, xkibꞌij: ¿Jachin kꞌu riꞌ kakwin chukolik ribꞌ?
27 But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri Dios kwinel chubꞌanik ri man kakwin ta ri achi che.
28 “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
Ri Pedro xubꞌij che: Chilampe la, ri uj xqaya kan ronojel ri qajastaq rumal tereneꞌxik la.
29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri winaq ri xuya kan rachoch, rixoqil, e rachalal, utat unan xuqujeꞌ e ralkꞌwaꞌl
31 Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
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.
32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
Kajach na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, kayoqꞌ na, kabꞌix na kꞌax taq tzij che, kachubꞌax na upalaj.
33 They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
Karapux na, xuqujeꞌ kakamisax na, xa kꞌu kakꞌastaj na churox qꞌij.
34 But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
Ri tijoxelabꞌ man xkichꞌobꞌ taj ri xbꞌix chike. Rumal cher xawax chikiwach ri kel kubꞌij we jastaq riꞌ.
35 As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
Are xopan ri Jesús chuxukut ri tinimit Jericó, kꞌo jun moy tꞌuyul chuchiꞌ ri bꞌe, kuta ulimoxna.
36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
Are xuto chi e kꞌi winaq tajin kiꞌkꞌowik, xuta chike ri winaq jas ri tajin kakꞌulmatajik.
37 “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
Ri winaq xkibꞌij che: Are ri Jesús aj Nazaret ri tajin kikꞌow waral.
38 So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Ri moy xuraqaqej uchiꞌ, xubꞌij: Jesús, Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri David, cheꞌl kuꞌx la chwe.
39 Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
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.
40 Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
Xtakꞌiꞌ kꞌu ri Jesús, xtaqan chukꞌamik apanoq ri achi. Are xqet chuxukut, ri Jesús xuta che:
41 “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
¿Jas kawaj kinbꞌan chawe? Ri moy xubꞌij: Ajawxel, kawaj kinkaꞌyik.
42 “Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Chakꞌamawaꞌj ri akaꞌyebꞌal. Xatutzir rumal ri akojobꞌal.
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.
Aninaq xkaꞌyik, xteriꞌ kꞌu chirij ri Jesús, kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios, konojel kꞌu ri winaq ri xkilo xkiqꞌijilaꞌj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios.
