< Acts 11 >

1 Now the Apostles and the brothers who were in Judaea had news that the word of God had been given to the Gentiles.
Ri e taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa Judea are xkito chi ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj xekojon che ri utzij ri Dios.
2 And when Peter came to Jerusalem, those who kept the rule of circumcision had an argument with him,
Xkibꞌij che ri Pedro are xtzalij pa ri tinimit Jerusalén chi man utz taj ri xubꞌano.
3 Saying, You went to men without circumcision, and took food with them.
Xatok pa kachoch ri man aꞌj Israel taj xuqujeꞌ xatwaꞌ kukꞌ, xecha che.
4 But Peter gave them an account of it all in order, saying to them,
Ri Pedro kꞌut xutzijoj chike jas ri xkꞌulmatajik.
5 I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:
Jewaꞌ xubꞌij: In kꞌo pa ri tinimit Jope, tajin kinbꞌan chꞌawem. Xaq kꞌa teꞌ xinsachiꞌk, xkꞌut kꞌu chinuwach jun atzꞌyaq ri tajin kaqaj loq cho ri kaj chaptal ri kajibꞌ utzaꞌm xqaj loq jawjeꞌ ri in kꞌo wi.
6 And looking on it with attention I saw in it all sorts of beasts and birds.
Are xinkaꞌyej jas kꞌo chupam, xinwil ronojel kiwach aꞌwaj, aꞌwaj kakijururej kibꞌ cho ri uwachulew, awaj kajibꞌ kichakalibꞌal xuqujeꞌ aꞌwaj ri kerapin cho ri kaj.
7 And a voice came to my ears saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.
Xinta kꞌu jun chꞌabꞌal kubꞌij: “Pedro chatwaꞌjiloq chaꞌtijaꞌ.”
8 But I said, No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever come into my mouth.
In xinbꞌij: “Tat, man nutijom ta wi jun chꞌulujalaj jastaq rumal cher ri qataqanik man kuya ta bꞌe chaqe.”
9 But the voice, coming a second time from heaven, said, What God has made clean, do not you make common.
Xchꞌaw chi junmul ri chꞌabꞌal ri xpe chikaj, xubꞌij: “Man kabꞌij taj chi man yaꞌtal taj katij ri uchꞌajchꞌobꞌem chi ri Dios.”
10 And this was done three times, and they were all taken up again into heaven.
Oxmul xkꞌulmataj we kꞌutbꞌal riꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xpaqabꞌax chi ri manta pa ri kaj.
11 And at that minute, three men, sent from Caesarea, came to the house where we were.
Qas che ri qꞌotaj riꞌ, oꞌxibꞌ achyabꞌ ri kipetik pa ri tinimit Cesarea xoꞌpan jawjeꞌ ri in kꞌo wi.
12 And the Spirit gave me orders to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers came with me; and we went into that man's house:
Ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xubꞌij chwe chi kineꞌ kukꞌ xuqujeꞌ chi man kakꞌaxir ta wanimaꞌ kineꞌ kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj. We waqibꞌ alaxik ri e kꞌo chanim xebꞌe wukꞌ are xujopan cho rachoch ri achi ri xtaqan che qasikꞌixik.
13 And he gave us an account of how he had seen the angel in his house, saying, Send to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you;
Ri achi xuchapleꞌj utzijoxik chaqe chi jun ángel xukꞌut ribꞌ choch pa ri rachoch xubꞌij che: “Chaꞌtaqa bꞌik e taqoꞌn pa ri tinimit Jope rech keꞌkisikꞌij loq jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Simón Pedro.”
14 Who will say words to you through which you and all your family may get salvation.
Ri achi riꞌ are kabꞌin chawe jas kabꞌano rech katkolotajik xuqujeꞌ kekolotaj ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri awachoch.
15 And, while I was talking to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at first.
Are xinchapleꞌj tzijonem kukꞌ, ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xqaj pa kiwiꞌ jetaq ri xubꞌan qukꞌ uj nabꞌe.
16 And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.
Xnaꞌtaj kꞌu chwe are xubꞌij ri Ajawxel Jesús: “Ri Juan xubꞌan qasanaꞌ rukꞌ jaꞌ, ri ix kꞌut kabꞌan na iqasanaꞌ rukꞌ ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.”
17 If then God gave them, when they had faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the same as he gave to us, who was I to go against God?
We xuya ri Dios ri sipanik riꞌ chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj jetaq ri xuya chaqe uj, ¿in jachin in chuqꞌatexik ri Dios?
18 And hearing these things they said nothing more, but gave glory to God, saying, Then to the Gentiles as to us has God given a change of heart, so that they may have life.
Are xkita we tzij riꞌ, konojel xkiqꞌil kibꞌ che ubꞌixik tzij che ri Pedro, xkichapleꞌj uqꞌijilaꞌxik ri Dios. Xkibꞌij: Kaqilo chi ri Dios are xraj chi ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx rech kakikꞌamawaꞌj jun alik kꞌaslemal.
19 Then those who had gone away at the time of the trouble about Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus, preaching to the Jews only.
Jujun chike ri kojonelabꞌ ri xaꞌnimaj bꞌik are xchapleꞌtaj kitzukuxik che riꞌ are xkamisax ri Esteban, xebꞌe pa taq ri tinimit rech Fenicia, kꞌo xebꞌe Chipre, kꞌo xebꞌe Antioquía rech Siria. Xkitzijoj ri utzij ri Dios xwi chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
20 But some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they came to Antioch, gave the good news about the Lord Jesus to the Greeks.
Kꞌo kꞌu jujun kojonelabꞌ ri aꞌj Chipre xuqujeꞌ aꞌj Cirene are xoꞌpan pa Antioquía xkichapleꞌj utzijoxik ri Ajawxel Jesús chike ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
21 And the power of the Lord was with them, and a great number had faith and were turned to the Lord.
Ri ukwinem ri Ajawxel kꞌo kukꞌ, e kꞌi kꞌu winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj xekojon che ri Ajawxel.
22 And news of them came to the ears of the church at Jerusalem: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch:
Are xketaꞌmaj ri komontyox ri kꞌo pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, ri xkꞌulmatajik xkitaq bꞌik ri Bernabé pa ri tinimit Antioquía.
23 Who, when he came and saw the grace of God, was glad; and he made clear to them the need of keeping near the Lord with all the strength of their hearts:
Ri Bernabé are xopanik, xnoj ri ranimaꞌ che kiꞌkotemal rumal cher xril ri utewechiꞌbꞌal ri Dios, xuꞌtaqchiꞌj ri kojonelabꞌ rech kajeqiꞌ kanimaꞌ chirij ri Ajawxel.
24 For he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and a great number were joined to the Lord.
Ri Bernabé jun utz laj achi, nojinaq che ri Uxlabꞌixel, qas ko kꞌo pa ri ukojobꞌal. Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq kꞌut xekojon che ri Ajawxel.
25 Then he went on to Tarsus, looking for Saul;
Are kꞌu ri Bernabé xeꞌ pa ri tinimit Tarso, xuꞌtzukuj ri Saulo.
26 And when he had come across him, he took him to Antioch. And they were with the church there for a year, teaching the people; and the disciples were first given the name of Christians in Antioch.
Are xuriqo, xukꞌam bꞌik pa ri tinimit Antioquía. Jun junabꞌ xekanaj kan kikobꞌchal pa jun komontyox xkiya kꞌutuꞌn chike e kꞌi winaq. (Pa ri tinimit Antioquía xbꞌix wi nabꞌe mul Cristianos chike ri kojonelabꞌ).
27 Now in those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ e kꞌo jujun qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios xeꞌl bꞌik pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, xebꞌe pa ri tinimit Antioquía.
28 And one of them, named Agabus, said publicly through the Spirit that there would be serious need of food all over the earth: which came about in the time of Claudius.
Jun chike ubꞌiꞌ Agabo, pa jun chike ri kimulin ibꞌ xtakꞌiꞌk xubꞌij chi kape na jun nimalaj numik pa ronojel ri tinimit Roma. Xkꞌulmataj kꞌu we riꞌ are kꞌo ri Claudio che qꞌatal tzij.
29 And the disciples, everyone as he was able, made a decision to send help to the brothers living in Judaea:
Rumal riꞌ, ri kojonelabꞌ aꞌj Antioquía xkitaq kꞌu bꞌik jun tobꞌanik chike ri alaxik aꞌj Judea, chi kijujunal xkiya ri xekwin chuyaꞌik.
30 Which they did, sending it to the rulers of the church by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Xkiterebꞌa kꞌu bꞌik ri kisipanik kukꞌ ri Bernabé rachiꞌl ri Saulo, rech kakiya apanoq chike ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri komontyox ri kꞌo pa ri tinimit Jerusalén.
