< Luke 20 >

1 One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.
Jun qꞌijal are tajin kuya kꞌutuꞌn ri Jesús pa ri Templo chirij ri utz laj taq tzij, xeqet rukꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe ke ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, ri aꞌjtijabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe.
2 “Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”
Xkibꞌij che: ¿Jachin at taqowinaq chubꞌanik waꞌ we riꞌ? ¿Jachin yoꞌwinaq kwinem chawe?
3 “I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri in xuqujeꞌ kinbꞌan jun kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ chiꞌwe, chibꞌij chwe:
4 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”
Ri qasanaꞌ ri xubꞌan ri Juan ¿la jun taqanik rech achi o rech ri Dios?
5 They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
Xkitzijobꞌej kꞌu rij, xkibꞌij kꞌut: We kaqabꞌij chi rech ri Dios, ¿jas kꞌu che man xikoj taj, kacha laꞌ chaqe?
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
We kꞌu kaqabꞌij chi rech achi, kujkibꞌan che abꞌaj laꞌ le winaq, rumal ketaꞌm chi ri Juan are jun qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios.
7 So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
Xaq jeriꞌ xeꞌkibꞌij che: Man qetaꞌm taj jawjeꞌ upetik wi.
8 And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
Xubꞌij kꞌu ri Jesús chike: Man kinbꞌij ta xuqujeꞌ in jachin yoꞌwinaq kwinem chwe chubꞌanik wa we jastaq riꞌ.
9 Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.
Ri Jesús xutzijoj we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chike ri winaq: Kꞌo jun achi xutik uvas pa jun ulew, xuya kꞌu kan ri ulew pa qajik chike nikꞌaj winaq rumal xeꞌ pa jun naj laj utaqkil.
10 At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.
Are kꞌu xuriq ri qꞌotaj rech yakoj, xutaq bꞌik jun rajchak kukꞌ ri ajtikolobꞌ rech kuta rech ri xwachinik. Are kꞌu ri ajtikolobꞌ xkichꞌayo, kꞌa te riꞌ xkitaq bꞌik cho rachoch, maj jas xkiya bꞌik che.
11 So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
Ri ajchoqꞌe ri ulew xutaq chi bꞌik jun ajchak kukꞌ xkichꞌey xuqujeꞌ loq, xuqujeꞌ maj xkiya loq che.
12 Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
Xutaq chi kꞌu bꞌik jun urox ajchak kukꞌ, xkesaj kꞌu loq pa ri ulew, xkibꞌan loq kꞌax che.
13 ‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’
Are kꞌu ri ajchoqꞌe ri ulew xubꞌij: “¿Jas ta kꞌu kinbꞌano? Kintaq na bꞌik ri nukꞌojol, kakinimaj waꞌ areꞌ.”
14 But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
Ri ajchakibꞌ are xkilo, xkitzijobꞌej rij, xkibꞌij: “Are waꞌ kechꞌabꞌen kan ri ulew, qakamisaj” xechaꞌ, “rech keqechabꞌej kan le ulew.”
15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
Xaq jeriꞌ xkesaj loq pa ri ulew kꞌa te riꞌ xkikamisaj. ¿Jas kubꞌan ri ajchoqꞌe ri ulew chike we ajchakibꞌ riꞌ?
16 He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”
Kukꞌis pa kiwiꞌ ri ajchakibꞌ are katzalij loq, kꞌa te riꞌ kuya chi kan ri ulew chike nikꞌaj winaq chik. Are xkita ri winaq xkibꞌij: Kꞌo ta bꞌa ne wi mat karaj ri Dios.
17 But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
Ri Jesús ko xuꞌkaꞌyej ri winaq, xubꞌij: ¿Jas kꞌu kel waꞌ ri tzꞌibꞌatalik ri kubꞌij: Ri abꞌaj ri xketzelaj uwach ri e yakol taq ja, xux na ri abꞌaj ri qas kꞌo kutayij chikiwach ri nikꞌaj abꞌaj chik?
18 Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
Xapachin ri katzaq puꞌwiꞌ ri abꞌaj riꞌ kamuchuꞌlitajik, xuqujeꞌ kajaqꞌin ri winaq we katzaq we abꞌaj riꞌ chirij.
19 When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.
Are xkinabꞌej ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe ke ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios chi aꞌreꞌ xtzijox kij pa ri kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj, xkaj xkiqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri Jesús, xkixiꞌj kꞌu kibꞌ chikiwach ri winaq rech ri tinimit.
20 So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.
Xaq jeriꞌ xeꞌkitaq bꞌik winaq ri kakijaluj chi nimaꞌq kibꞌanik, rech kakikoj jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal pa ubꞌe ri Jesús rech rukꞌ riꞌ kekwinik kakikꞌam bꞌik cho ri qꞌatal tzij.
21 “Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
Ri winaq ri xetaq bꞌik xkibꞌij: Ajtij, qetaꞌm chi sukꞌ ronojel ri kabꞌij la, xuqujeꞌ ri kakꞌut la xuqujeꞌ man kaqꞌat ta la tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq rumal ri kekaꞌyik, xane qas are wi kakꞌut la ri bꞌe rukꞌ ri Dios.
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
¿La yaꞌtal chaqe kaqatoj alkabal che ri César o man yaꞌtal taj?
23 But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,
Ri Jesús kꞌut xuchꞌobꞌ ri itzel taq kichomabꞌal, rumal riꞌ xubꞌij chike:
24 “Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
Chikꞌutumpe jun pwaq kech ri aꞌj Roma chinuwach. ¿Jachin ajchoqꞌe we palajaj xuqujeꞌ we tzꞌibꞌ we kꞌo choch? Rech ri César, xecha ri winaq.
25 So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Chiya che ri César ri rech ri César, xuqujeꞌ chiya che ri Dios ri rech ri Dios.
26 And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
Man xekwin ta kꞌut xkikoj kꞌaꞌmabꞌal pa ri ubꞌe, rukꞌ ri kubꞌij chike ri winaq, xemayijanik are xkita ri tzalibꞌal uwach ri xubꞌij chike, xaq jeriꞌ maj chi jas xkibꞌij.
27 Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
Are kꞌu ri e saduceos, ri kakibꞌij chi maj kꞌastajibꞌal wach, xeqet chuxukut ri Jesús, xkibꞌij we kꞌulmatajik che:
28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.
Ajtij, ri Moisés kukꞌut chiqawach pa ri wuj ri xutzꞌibꞌaj chi we kakam jun achi, maj kan ralkꞌwaꞌl rukꞌ ri rixoqil, choqꞌaqꞌ wi chi ri rachalal we achi riꞌ kakꞌuliꞌ rukꞌ ri ixoq ri xya kanoq rech kekꞌojiꞌ rijaꞌl ri rachalal ri xkamik.
29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless.
E kꞌo kꞌu e wuqubꞌ achyabꞌ alaxik. Ri nabꞌe xkꞌuliꞌk, xa kꞌu e maj ralkꞌwaꞌl xekꞌojiꞌ kan rukꞌ ri rixoqil.
30 Then the second
Ri ukabꞌ xkꞌuliꞌ rukꞌ ri rixoqil ri rachalal, xuqujeꞌ maj e ralkꞌwaꞌl xekꞌojiꞌ kan rukꞌ ri ixoq
31 and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
Ri urox achi xuqujeꞌ xkꞌuliꞌ rukꞌ ri malkaꞌn ixoq maj xuqujeꞌ ralkꞌwaꞌl xekꞌojiꞌ rukꞌ, jeriꞌ xkibꞌan ri e wuqubꞌ alaxik. Konojel xekꞌuliꞌ rukꞌ ri ixoq, xa kꞌu maj kalkꞌwaꞌl xekꞌojiꞌ kan rukꞌ ri ixoq.
32 And last of all, the woman died.
Kꞌisbꞌal kꞌu rech, xkam xuqujeꞌ ri ixoq.
33 So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
Are kꞌu kuriq ri qꞌij rech kꞌastajibꞌal ¿jachin chike ri e wuqubꞌ alaxik karachajilaj na ri ixoq, rumal chi konojel ri e wuqubꞌ achyabꞌ xekꞌuliꞌ rukꞌ?
34 Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri winaq rech ri uwachulew kekꞌuliꞌ xuqujeꞌ kakiya kibꞌ pa taq kꞌulanem. (aiōn g165)
35 But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
Are kꞌu ri yaꞌtal chike kekꞌastaj na rech kekꞌojiꞌ pa ri jun alik kꞌaslemal ri kape na, ri winaq riꞌ man kekꞌuliꞌ taj xuqujeꞌ man keya taj pa kꞌulanem. (aiōn g165)
36 In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
Man kekam taj xuqujeꞌ je kuꞌx na jetaq ri angelibꞌ, e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios rumal yaꞌtal bꞌe chike kekꞌastaj na, jun qꞌijal.
37 Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
Pa ri uwuj ri Moisés jawjeꞌ ri xkꞌut wi choch ri kꞌix ri kajinow pa qꞌaqꞌ, kuqꞌalajisaj chi ri e kaminaqibꞌ kekꞌastaj na, rumal kubꞌij che ri Ajawxel, chi are kiDios ri Abraham, ri Isaac xuqujeꞌ ri Jacob.
38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”
Ri Dios man kiDios ta kaminaqibꞌ, xane kiDios e kꞌaslik winaq, konojel e kꞌaslik cho areꞌ.
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”
E jujun kꞌut chike ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xkibꞌij che ri Jesús: Sibꞌalaj utz ri xbꞌij la ajtij.
40 And they did not dare to question Him any further.
Maj chi kꞌu jun xkꞌotow uchiꞌ ri Jesús.
41 Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
Ri Jesús kꞌut xukꞌot kichiꞌ ri winaq xubꞌij: ¿Jas che kibꞌij chi ri Cristo Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri David?
42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
Are ri David xtzꞌibꞌan pa ri wuj rech Salmos: Ri Dios xubꞌij che ri wAjaw: Chattꞌuyul pa ri nuwiqiqꞌabꞌ.
43 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
Kꞌa katchꞌeken na chike ri akꞌulel xuqujeꞌ kekꞌojiꞌ na xeꞌ raqan aqꞌabꞌ.
44 Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
We ri David kubꞌij wAjaw che, ¿jas kꞌu che riꞌ kubꞌij ukꞌojol che?
45 In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,
Are tajin katatabꞌex ri Jesús kumal ri winaq, xubꞌij chike ri utijoxelabꞌ:
46 “Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.
Chichajij iwibꞌ chike ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik. Ri aꞌre utz kakinaꞌo kewaꞌkat rukꞌ ri katzꞌyaq ri sibꞌalaj kachuplinik, xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj jeꞌl chike kaya rutzil kiwach pa taq ri kꞌayibꞌal, xuqujeꞌ kakichaꞌ ri jeꞌl laj taq kꞌolibꞌal pa taq ri Sinagoga, xuqujeꞌ kakichaꞌ ri jeꞌl laj taq kꞌolibꞌal pa taq ri nimaqꞌij.
47 They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
Utz xuqujeꞌ kakinaꞌo kakimaj ri e kachoch xuqujeꞌ ri kimebꞌail ri e malkaꞌnibꞌ, kakibꞌan xuqujeꞌ naj taq chꞌawem rech ketatabꞌex kumal nikꞌaj winaq chik rumal riꞌ nim kꞌax kape na pa kiwiꞌ.
