< Acts 22 >

1 Ye men, brethren and Fathers, heare my defence nowe towards you.
Loqꞌalaj taq qachalal, ix ix kꞌamal taq qabꞌe, chitampe ri kinbꞌij chiꞌwe.
2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrewe tongue to them, they kept the more silence, and he sayd)
Are xkita ri winaq chi ri Pablo xuꞌchꞌabꞌej pa ri tzijobꞌal hebreo, xaq jun xekꞌojiꞌ wi, xkitatabꞌej ri kubꞌij:
3 I am verely a man, which am a Iew, borne in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought vp in this citie at the feete of Gamaliel, and instructed according to the perfect maner of the Lawe of the Fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
Ri in in iwinaqil, in aj Israel. Xinalax pa ri tinimit Tarso, tinimit rech Cilicia. Waral kꞌut pa Jerusalén xinkꞌiy wi. Qas utz nutijoxik xbꞌanik puꞌwiꞌ ri taqanik ke ri qamam ojer rumal ri nim achi Gamaliel amaqꞌel xintij nuchuqꞌabꞌ chupatanixik ri Dios, jetaq ri kibꞌan ix iwonojel kamik.
4 And I persecuted this way vnto the death, binding and deliuering into prison both men and women.
Nabꞌe kanoq in xinbꞌan kꞌax chike konojel ri e kojoninaq che ri Jesús, xwaj xeꞌnkamisaj. Xeꞌnchap bꞌik achyabꞌ, ixoqibꞌ, xeꞌnkoj pa cheꞌ.
5 As also ye chiefe Priest doeth beare me witnes, and al the company of the Elders: of whom also I receiued letters vnto the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring them which were there, bound vnto Hierusalem, that they might be punished.
Ri kinimal chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq xuqujeꞌ konojel ri kinimaꞌqil ri winaq kekwinik kakiqꞌalajisaj chi qas tzij ri kinbꞌij. Rumal cher aꞌreꞌ xkiya bꞌik jujun wuj chwe. Xaq jeriꞌ xineꞌ pa ri tinimit Damasco xubꞌentzukuj ri kojonelabꞌ rech keꞌnchapo, keꞌnkꞌam loq waral pa Jerusalén, chukꞌajisaxik kiwach.
6 And so it was, as I iourneyed and was come neere vnto Damascus about noone, that suddenly there shone from heauen a great light round about me.
Bꞌenam kꞌu we pa ri bꞌe, opanem kinbꞌan pa ri tinimit Damasco, qas pa ri nikꞌaj qꞌij, xaq kꞌa teꞌ xtunan jun nimalaj tunal chwij ri xpe chikaj.
7 So I fell vnto the earth, and heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou mee?
Xintzaq puꞌlew, kꞌa te riꞌ xinta jun chꞌabꞌal xpe chikaj xubꞌij chwe: Saulo, Saulo, ¿jas che kabꞌan we nimalaj kꞌax riꞌ chwe?
8 Then I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Iesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
“¿Jachin ri lal, Tat?” xincha che. Xubꞌij chwe: In riꞌ ri Jesús aj Nazaret. Ri tajin kabꞌan kꞌax chwe.
9 Moreouer they that were with me, sawe in deede a light and were afraide: but they heard not the voyce of him that spake vnto me.
Ri e kꞌo wukꞌ xkil ri tunal, sibꞌalaj kꞌu xkixiꞌj kibꞌ. Man xkita ta kꞌu ri uchꞌabꞌal ri tajin kachꞌaw wukꞌ.
10 Then I sayd, What shall I doe, Lord? And the Lord sayde vnto me, Arise, and goe into Damascus: and there it shall be tolde thee of all things, which are appointed for thee to doe.
Ri in kꞌut xinbꞌij: Tat, ¿jas kaj la kinbꞌano? Xubꞌij kꞌu ri Ajawxel Jesús chwe: Chatwaꞌjiloq, chataqej ri abꞌe ri ke pa ri tinimit Damasco. Chilaꞌ kꞌut kabꞌix wi na chawe jas ri rajawaxik kabꞌano.
11 So when I could not see for the glory of that light, I was led by the hand of them that were with me, and came into Damascus.
Man xinkwin ta chi kꞌut xinkaꞌyik rumal ri tunal, ri sibꞌalaj kajuluwik. Rumal riꞌ xa xintzuyex bꞌik che ri nuqꞌabꞌ kumal ri wachiꞌl, xinkikꞌam bꞌik pa ri tinimit Damasco.
12 And one Ananias a godly man, as perteining to the Lawe, hauing good report of all the Iewes which dwelt there,
Kꞌo kꞌu jun achi chilaꞌ, ubꞌiꞌ Ananías. Kojoninaq che ri Dios, kunimaj ri utaqanik ri Moisés. Konojel ri winaq aꞌj Israel ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ pa Damasco kakibꞌij chi sibꞌalaj utz we achi riꞌ.
13 Came vnto me, and stoode, and sayd vnto me, Brother Saul, receiue thy sight: and that same houre I looked vpon him.
We achi riꞌ xopan che nuchꞌabꞌexik, xubꞌij kꞌu chwe: “Wachalal Saulo, chatkaꞌy chi junmul.” Aninaq kꞌut xutzir ri nubꞌoqꞌoch, xinkwinik xinkaꞌyik, xinwil ri achi.
14 And he sayd, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee, that thou shouldest knowe his wil, and shouldest see that Iust one, and shouldest heare the voyce of his mouth.
Xubꞌij kꞌu chwe: “At chaꞌtal rumal ri qaDios, ri kiDios ri qamam, rech kawetaꞌmaj jas ri urayinik, xuqujeꞌ rech katuxik patanil rech ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ rech kata ri chꞌabꞌal.
15 For thou shalt be his witnes vnto all men, of the things which thou hast seene and heard.
Katok kꞌu na che qꞌalajisal rech ri Dios chkiwach ri winaq, katzijoj na ronojel ri atom xuqujeꞌ awilom.
16 Now therefore why tariest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sinnes, in calling on the Name of the Lord.
Jas kꞌu awayeꞌm, chatwaꞌjiloq, chabꞌana aqasanaꞌ jeqel akꞌuꞌx chrij ri Ajawxel Jesús, chata toqꞌobꞌ che rech kasach taj ri amak, kachꞌajchꞌojir kꞌu ri awanimaꞌ.”
17 And it came to passe, that when I was come againe to Hierusalem, and prayed in the Temple, I was in a traunce,
Ri Pablo xubꞌij: Are xintzalij loq pa we tinimit Jerusalén, xineꞌ kꞌu pa ri Templo. Tajin kinbꞌan chꞌawem chilaꞌ.
18 And saw him saying vnto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Hierusalem: for they will not receiue thy witnes concerning me.
Pa jun kꞌutbꞌal kꞌut xinwil ri Ajawxel Jesús, xubꞌij chwe: “Chakowij, chatel bꞌik chanim waral pa Jerusalén, rumal chi ri winaq ri e kꞌo waral man kakikoj ta ri nutzij ri kabꞌij chike.”
19 Then I sayd, Lord, they know that I prisoned, and beat in euery Synagogue them that beleeued in thee.
Ri in kꞌut xinbꞌij che: “Ajawxel, aꞌreꞌ ketaꞌm chi nabꞌe kanoq xineꞌ pa taq ri Sinagoga. Xeꞌnchap konojel ri kekojon che la, xeꞌnkoj pa cheꞌ, xuqujeꞌ xeꞌnchꞌayo.
20 And when the blood of thy martyr Steuen was shed, I also stood by, and consented vnto his death, and kept the clothes of them that slew him.
Are tajin kakikamisaj ri Esteban ri patanil e la, ri kaqꞌalajisan tzij la, ri in in kꞌo kukꞌ. Sibꞌalaj utz kꞌut xinwilo xkamisaxik, in xinchajin ri katzꞌyaq ri tajin kekamisanik.”
21 Then he sayd vnto me, Depart: for I will send thee farre hence vnto the Gentiles.
Ri Ajawxel Jesús xubꞌij chwe: “Jat, rumal cher rajawaxik katintaq bꞌik naj kukꞌ ri nikꞌaj winaq chik ri man aꞌj Israel taj.”
22 And they heard him vnto this worde, but then they lift vp their voyces, and sayd, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not meete that he should liue.
Are xubꞌij ri Pablo chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel, chi keꞌ kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, xkichap uraqik kichiꞌ, xkibꞌij: ¡Kamisax we achi riꞌ! ¡Man yaꞌtal ta che kakꞌasiꞌk!
23 And as they cried and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the aire,
Xkichapleꞌj uraqik kichiꞌ, xkiroqij ri katzꞌyaq pa ri ulew, xkijopij ulew chikaj.
24 The chiefe captaine commanded him to be led into the castle, and bade that he should be scourged, and examined, that he might knowe wherefore they cryed so on him.
Ri achi ri kataqan pa kiwiꞌ ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit xuya taqanik rech kokisax ri Pablo pa ri ja ri e kꞌo wi ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit, xuqujeꞌ xuya taqanik rech karapuxik, kꞌa te riꞌ kakꞌot uchiꞌ rech kubꞌij jas rumal ri winaq kakiraq kichiꞌ chrij.
25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul sayd vnto the Centurion that stood by, Is it lawfull for you to scourge one that is a Romane, and not condemned?
Are kꞌu yuttal chik rech kakichꞌayo, ri Pablo xubꞌij che ri kinimal ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit ri takꞌal chilaꞌ chuchajixik: ¿La yaꞌtal chiꞌwe kichꞌay jun winaq rech ri tinimit Roma, la man nabꞌe kaqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ?
26 Nowe when the Centurion heard it, hee went, and tolde the chiefe captaine, saying, Take heede what thou doest: for this man is a Romane.
Are xuta ri ajchꞌoꞌj chajil tinimit ri xubꞌij ri Pablo, xuꞌbꞌij che ri achi ri kataqan pa kiwiꞌ ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit: ¿Jas ri tajin kabꞌan che we achi riꞌ? Areꞌ jun winaq rech ri tinimit Roma.
27 Then the chiefe captaine came, and sayd to him, Tel me, art thou a Romane? And he said, Yea.
Ri achi ri kataqan pa kiwiꞌ ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit xeꞌ rukꞌ ri Pablo, xuta che: ¿La qas tzij chi at aj Roma? Ri Pablo xubꞌij: Jeꞌ, qas tzij.
28 And the chiefe captaine answered, With a great summe obtained I this freedome. Then Paul sayd, But I was so borne.
Ri ajchꞌoꞌj chajil tinimit xubꞌij che ri Pablo: Ri in xintoj nimalaj pwaq rech xya nuwuj rumal ri tinimit Roma. Ri Pablo xubꞌij: Ri in, in aj Roma pa nukꞌojiꞌkal.
29 Then straightway they departed from him, which should haue examined him: and the chiefe captaine also was afrayd, after he knewe that hee was a Romane, and that he had bound him.
Ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit man xkichꞌay ta chi ri Pablo. Are kꞌu ri achi ri kataqan pa kiwiꞌ ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit, are xretaꞌmaj chi ri Pablo aj Roma, sibꞌalaj xuxiꞌj ribꞌ rumal cher xujatꞌij rukꞌ chꞌichꞌ jatꞌibꞌal.
30 On the next day, because hee would haue knowen the certaintie wherefore he was accused of the Iewes, he loosed him from his bonds, and commanded the hie Priests and all their Councill to come together: and he brought Paul, and set him before them.
Ri achi ri kataqan pa kiwiꞌ ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit xraj xretaꞌmaj jas ri qas umak ri Pablo, ri tajin kakibꞌij ri winaq aꞌj Israel che. Xaq jeriꞌ chukabꞌ qꞌij xresaj ri chꞌichꞌ ximbꞌal che ri Pablo, kꞌa te riꞌ xtaqan che ki mulixik ri kinimaꞌqil ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ konojel ri kinimaꞌqil ri winaq. Xresaj kꞌu loq ri Pablo, xutakꞌabꞌa chkiwach.
