Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many haue taken in hand to set foorth the storie of those things, whereof we are fully persuaded,
Loqꞌalaj Teófilo: E kꞌi ri winaq ri xkaj xkitzꞌibꞌaj pa cholaj ri tzijobꞌelil chrij ri qas xkꞌulmataj waral chiqaxoꞌl.
2 As they haue deliuered them vnto vs, which from the beginning saw them their selues, and were ministers of ye word,
Are waꞌ ri xkikꞌut loq chiqawach ri qas xiꞌlow ronojel ri xkꞌulmatajik pa ri majibꞌal re, ri e tzijol taq re ri utz laj tzij.
3 It seemed good also to me (most noble Theophilus) assoone as I had searched out perfectly all things from the beginning, to write vnto thee thereof from point to point,
Ri in xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj utz rilik xuqujeꞌ usolixik xinbꞌano rech xinwetaꞌmaj ronojel ri ucholajil ri jastaq ri xkꞌulmatajik qas pa ri majibꞌal rech. Rumal waꞌ xinchomaj utzꞌibꞌaxik chawe pa ucholajil, nimalaj Teófilo,
4 That thou mightest acknowledge the certaintie of those things, whereof thou hast bene instructed.
rech kawetaꞌmaj ri qas tzij chrij ri kꞌutuꞌn ri yaꞌom chawe.
5 In the time of Herod King of Iudea, there was a certaine Priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabet.
Pa taq ri qꞌij che riꞌ are taqanel ri Herodes pa ri Judea, kꞌo jun chꞌawenel cho ri Dios ubꞌiꞌ Zacarías jun chike ri wok e rijaꞌl ri Abías, ri rixoqil are ri Elisabet, rijaꞌl ri Aarón.
6 Both were iust before God, and walked in all the commandements and ordinances of the Lord, without reproofe.
Kikꞌulajal e utz laj taq winaq, sukꞌ kanimaꞌ cho ri Dios. Xeniman che ronojel ri utaqanik ri Dios. Man kꞌo ta etzelal xkibꞌano.
7 And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age.
Maj kꞌu e kal rumal cher ri Elisabet man kakwin taj kuya ral pa ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ e nimaq taq winaq chik.
8 And it came to passe, as he executed the Priestes office before God, as his course came in order,
Jun qꞌijal ri Zacarías are tajin kapatanij pa ri Templo rech ri Dios rumal cher xuriq ri qꞌij are kapatanik ri uwo kaj.
9 According to the custome of the Priests office, his lot was to burne incense, when he went into the Temple of the Lord.
Jacha ri kubꞌij ri naqꞌatajibꞌal kech ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, kakikꞌyaq rij jachin ri chꞌawenel kok bꞌik pa utemplo ri Dios chutzujik ri incienso.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, while the incense was burning.
Are tajin kaporox ri incienso, ri winaq ri kimulim kibꞌ tajin kakibꞌan apanoq chꞌawem cho ri Templo rech ri Dios.
11 Then appeared vnto him an Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
Are tajin kuporoj incienso ri Zacarías xukꞌut ribꞌ jun ángel choch, xtakꞌiꞌ pa ri wiqiqꞌabꞌ rech ri tzujbꞌal sipanik jaw ri kaporox wi ri incienso.
12 And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon him.
Are xril ri Zacarías ri ángel, xkꞌaxir ranimaꞌ, sibꞌalaj xuxiꞌj ribꞌ.
13 But the Angel saide vnto him, Feare not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard, and thy wise Elisabet shall beare thee a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iohn.
Ri ángel xubꞌij che: Man kaxiꞌj ta awibꞌ. Ri achꞌawem xtataj rumal ri Dios. Kakꞌojiꞌ na jun akꞌojol rukꞌ ri awixoqil Elisabet, Juan kakoj che ubꞌiꞌ.
14 And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnes, and many shall reioyce at his birth.
Sibꞌalaj katkiꞌkot na rumal rech ri akꞌal, xuqujeꞌ e kꞌi winaq kekiꞌkot na we xkil uwach.
15 For he shalbe great in the sight of the Lord, and shall neither drinke wine, nor strong drinke: and he shalbe filled with the holy Ghost, euen from his mothers wombe.
Jeriꞌ rumal cher nim na uqꞌij cho ri Dios. Man kutij ta wi vino xuqujeꞌ tzam. Kanojisax na che ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel are kꞌo chupam ri unan.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turne to their Lord God.
E kꞌi winaq aꞌj Israel ketzalij na rukꞌ ri Ajawxel ri kiDios rumal rech areꞌ.
17 For he shall goe before him in the spirite and power of Elias, to turne the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisedome of the iust men, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Kanabꞌej na cho ri Ajawxel rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kwinem jetaq ri xya che ri Elías, kubꞌan na chi kesukꞌiꞌ ri tat nan kukꞌ ri alkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kubꞌan na chi ri man keniman taj kakikꞌamawaꞌj ketaꞌmabꞌal chike ri sukꞌ taq winaq. Rech jeriꞌ ri winaq kakisukꞌumaj apanoq kibꞌ chirayeꞌxik ri Ajawxel.
18 Then Zacharias said vnto ye Angel, Whereby shall I knowe this? for I am an olde man, and my wife is of a great age.
Ri Zacarías xubꞌij che ri ángel: ¿Jas kinbꞌan chi retaꞌmaxik chi qas kakꞌulmataj na we jastaq riꞌ? In in riꞌj achi chik, ri wixoqil xuqujeꞌ bꞌenaq chi ri ujunabꞌ.
19 And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto him, I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speake vnto thee, and to shew thee these good tidings.
Ri ángel xubꞌij: In in Gabriel, in kꞌo cho ri Dios chanim, areꞌ xintaqow loq chubꞌixik we utz laj taq tzij riꞌ chawe.
20 And beholde, thou shalt be domme, and not be able to speake, vntill the day that these things be done, because thou beleeuedst not my words, which shalbe fulfilled in their season.
Rumal kꞌu cher man xakoj ta ri xinbꞌij chawe, katmemar kan chanim, man katkwin taj katchꞌawik, ka chi kꞌol na ri akꞌal kꞌa te riꞌ kajaqataj ri achꞌabꞌal. Kakꞌulmataj na ri nutzij pa ri qꞌotaj ri kajawatajik.
21 Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple.
Ri winaq ri aꞌyeninaq ri Zacarías xemayijanik rumal cher maj ri kel loq.
22 And when hee came out, hee coulde not speake vnto them: then they perceiued that hee had seene a vision in the Temple: For he made signes vnto them, and remained domme.
Are xel loq, man kakwin ta chik kachꞌawik. Xaq pa memal tzij chik xtzijon kukꞌ, xkichomaj kꞌut chi xa xril jun kꞌutbꞌal pa ri Tyoxalaj kꞌolibꞌal.
23 And it came to passe, when the daies of his office were fulfilled, that he departed to his owne house.
Are xtoꞌtaj ri Zacarías che ri patanijik pa ri Templo, xtzalij cho rachoch.
24 And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying,
Ikꞌowinaq chi jun janipa qꞌij, ri Elisabet rixoqil ri Zacarías xkanaj yawabꞌ ixoq. Ri Elisabet jobꞌ ikꞌ xaq cho rachoch xkꞌojiꞌ wi.
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me, in the daies wherein he looked on me, to take from me my rebuke among men.
Sibꞌalaj utz ri wAjaw, xinresaj pa ri nukꞌixibꞌal rech man kinkiyoqꞌ ta chi ri winaq, xcha ri Elisabet.
26 And in the sixth moneth, the Angell Gabriel was sent from God vnto a citie of Galile, named Nazareth,
Pa ri uwaq ikꞌ rech ri uyawajik ri Elisabet, xtaq loq ri ángel Gabriel pa Nazaret, jun leꞌaj ri kꞌo pa Galilea.
27 To a virgin affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.
Xopan rukꞌ jun qꞌapoj ali, ubꞌiꞌ María, ri tzꞌonom chik rumal jun achi ubꞌiꞌ José, jun rijaꞌl ri Taqanel David.
28 And the Angel went in vnto her, and said, Haile thou that art freely beloued: the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Ri Gabriel xukꞌut ribꞌ choch ri María, xubꞌij che: ¡Rutzil awach, at jun ixoq chaꞌtalik, ri Ajawxel kꞌo awukꞌ!
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what maner of salutation that should be.
Ri María xsach ukꞌuꞌx, xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ranimaꞌ, xuchomaj rij ri kubꞌij ri ángel.
30 Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God.
Ri ángel xubꞌij che: ¡Man kaxiꞌj ta awibꞌ María, at chaꞌtal rumal ri Dios!
31 For loe, thou shalt conceiue in thy wobe, and beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus.
Katiktaj na jun akꞌal chawe, kalax na, kakoj Jesús che ubꞌiꞌ.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Sonne of the most High, and the Lord God shall giue vnto him the throne of his father Dauid.
Kanimar na uqꞌij, kabꞌix na ukꞌojol ri Nimalaj Dios che. Ri Ajawxel Dios kukoj na che nim taqanel jetaq ri qamam David.
33 And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome shall bee none ende. (aiōn g165)
Amaqꞌel kataqan na puꞌwiꞌ ri tinimit Israel, ri utaqanik maj ukꞌisik. (aiōn g165)
34 Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man?
Ri María xubꞌij: ¿Jamo riꞌ kakꞌulmataj we riꞌ? Man in kꞌolinaq ta in rukꞌ achi.
35 And the Angel answered, and said vnto her, The holy Ghost shall come vpon thee, and the power of the most High shall ouershadowe thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall bee borne of thee, shall be called the Sonne of God.
Ri ángel xubꞌij che: Ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel kaqaj na loq paꞌwiꞌ. Ri ukwinem ri nimalaj Dios katuchꞌuq na. Rumal riꞌ, ri neꞌ riꞌ ri kakꞌojiꞌ na, jun Tyoxalaj akꞌal, xuqujeꞌ kubꞌiꞌnaꞌj na Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios.
36 And behold, thy cousin Elisabet, she hath also conceiued a sonne in her olde age: and this is her sixt moneth, which was called barren.
Ri Elisabet ri awachalal xkanaj yawabꞌ winaq pa ri uriꞌjobꞌnaqil. Waqibꞌ ikꞌ chik yawabꞌ winaq pune xbꞌix che kumal ri winaq chi man kakwin taj kuꞌya ral pa ri uwachulew.
37 For with God shall nothing be vnpossible.
Maj jun jastaq ri mat kakwin ri Dios che ubꞌanik.
38 Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.
Ri María xubꞌij: In patanil rech ri Ajawxel. Kꞌulmataj wukꞌ ronojel ri xabꞌij. Ri ángel xtzalijik.
39 And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,
Kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij chik ikꞌowinaq we kꞌulmatajem riꞌ, ri María xeꞌ pa taq ri juyubꞌ pa ri tinimit rech Judea.
40 And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.
Are xopan chilaꞌ, xok bꞌik pa ri rachoch ri Zacarías, xuya rutzil uwach ri Elisabet.
41 And it came to passe, as Elisabet heard the salutation of Marie, the babe sprang in her bellie, and Elisabet was filled with the holy Ghost.
Are xuta ri Elisabet ri rutzil wach ri xya rumal ri María, xchꞌoplaj ri ral chupam, xnoj kꞌut che ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
42 And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.
Ri Elisabet xuraq uchiꞌ chech kiꞌkotemal, xubꞌij che ri María: Sibꞌalaj at tewchiꞌtalik chikiwach konojel ri ixoqibꞌ. Xuqujeꞌ tewchiꞌtal ri awal.
43 And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
¿Jas che xya bꞌe chwe, kinulusolij ri unan ri Wajaw?
44 For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,
Are xinta ri rutzil nuwach xuyaꞌo, xchꞌoplaj ri nuneꞌ ri kꞌo chinupam xchꞌoplaj che kiꞌkotemal.
45 And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.
Sibꞌalaj at tewchiꞌtalik rumal cher xakojo chi ri Ajawxel kubꞌan ri xuchiꞌj chawe.
46 Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,
Ri María xubꞌij: Ri wanimaꞌ sibꞌalaj kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Ajawxel.
47 And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.
Sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkot ri wanimaꞌ pa ri nuDios, nukolonel.
48 For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed,
Xel ukꞌuꞌx che we patanijel rech ri man nim ta uqꞌij. Konojel kꞌu ri winaq kakibꞌij na riꞌ chwe chi in tewchiꞌtalik.
49 Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name.
Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Tyox xuqujeꞌ kwinel laj Dios xubꞌan nimalaj taq jastaq wukꞌ.
50 And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him.
Kutoqꞌobꞌisaj kiwach konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌolik xuqujeꞌ ri kekꞌojiꞌ na. Ri winaq kakimochꞌ kibꞌ choch.
51 Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.
Rukꞌ ri utelebꞌ xubꞌan nimalaj taq jastaq, xusach kiwach ri winaq ri nimal chike xuqujeꞌ ri kakinimarisaj kibꞌ.
52 Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree.
Xresaj ri taqanik pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri nimaꞌq kibꞌanik, xuya kiqꞌij ri winaq ri nim taj kiqꞌij.
53 Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie.
Xuya jastaq kech ri kenumik, maj ke ri qꞌinomabꞌ xuyaꞌo.
54 Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie
Xutoꞌ ri utinimit Israel, man xsachan ta che ubꞌanik ri utzilal kukꞌ.
Jeriꞌ xubꞌano rumal cher xuchiꞌj kan che ri qamam Abraham xuqujeꞌ amaqꞌel chike ri e rijaꞌl chi jewaꞌ kubꞌan na. (aiōn g165)
56 And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house.
Ri María xkanaj kan oxibꞌ ikꞌ rukꞌ ri Elisabet kꞌa te riꞌ xtzalij cho rachoch.
57 Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne.
Are xopan ri qꞌij, kakꞌojiꞌ ri ral ri Elisabet, xalax ri ral, ala ri ral.
58 And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her.
Ri ukꞌulja ri Elisabet xuqujeꞌ ri e rachalal xekiꞌkotik are xketaꞌmaj chi ri Dios sibꞌalaj xutoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri Elisabet.
59 And it was so that on the eight day they came to circumcise the babe, and called him Zacharias after the name of his father.
Are xtzꞌaqat wajxaqibꞌ uqꞌij ri neꞌ, xkimulij kibꞌ rech kakilo kakoj retal, xkaj kꞌut xkikoj Zacarías che ubꞌiꞌ, jetaq ri ubꞌiꞌ ri utat.
60 But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn.
Ri Elisabet kꞌut xubꞌij: ¡Man je ta riꞌ! Juan kubꞌiꞌnaꞌj we akꞌal riꞌ.
61 And they saide vnto her, There is none of thy kindred, that is named with this name.
¿Jas che? xecha ri winaq. Man kꞌo ta jun chike ri awachalal jeriꞌ ubꞌiꞌ.
62 Then they made signes to his father, howe he would haue him called.
Pa memal tzij kꞌut xkita che ri utat ri akꞌal jas ubꞌiꞌ ri ukꞌojol kukojo.
63 So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all.
Ri Zacarías xuta jun chꞌaqaꞌp tzꞌalam chike rech kutzꞌibꞌaj choch jas ri bꞌiꞌaj. Sibꞌalaj xemayijan kꞌut are xkilo ri xutzꞌibꞌaj “Juan ubꞌiꞌ.”
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake and praised God.
Aninaq xjaqataj ri uchꞌabꞌal ri Zacarías, xuchapleꞌj uqꞌijilaꞌxik ri Dios.
65 Then feare came on all them that dwelt neere vnto them, and all these woordes were noised abroade throughout all the hill countrey of Iudea.
Xtzijox kꞌu ronojel we kꞌulmatajem riꞌ pa taq ri tinimit ri kꞌo pa taq ri juyubꞌ rech Judea, konojel ri e kuꞌl ja xkixiꞌj kibꞌ.
66 And al they that heard them, laid them vp in their hearts, saying, What maner childe shall this be! and the hand of the Lord was with him.
Konojel ri winaq ri xetowik kakitatabꞌela chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: ¿Jas kux we akꞌal ri? Jeꞌ xkibꞌij waꞌ rumal qꞌalaj chi ri Ajawxel Dios kꞌo rukꞌ ri akꞌal.
67 Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
Ri Zacarías, ri utat ri akꞌal, xnoj che ri Uxlabꞌixel, xubꞌij:
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Chiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Ajawxel, ri Dios rech ri tinimit Israel, xusolij ri utinimit, xutoꞌo pa ri qꞌoxom.
69 And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid,
Xutaq loq jun kwinel laj kolonel rijaꞌl ri patanil rech, David.
70 As he spake by ye mouth of his holy Prophets, which were since the world began, saying, (aiōn g165)
Are waꞌ ri xuchiꞌj loq ri Dios chi kichiꞌ ri tyoxalaj taq qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij, ojer. (aiōn g165)
71 That he would sende vs deliuerance from our enemies, and from the hands of all that hate vs,
Kujutoꞌ na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri e qakꞌulel, xuqujeꞌ pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri kaketzelaj qawach.
72 That he might shewe mercie towards our fathers, and remember his holy couenant,
Rech kutoqꞌobꞌisaj kiwach ri e qamam rumal cher xnaꞌtaj che ri chꞌekom tzij ri xubꞌano.
73 And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham.
Are waꞌ ri chꞌekom tzij xubꞌan kan rukꞌ ri qamam Abraham.
74 Which was, that he would graunt vnto vs, that we being deliuered out of the handes of our enemies, should serue him without feare,
Xujesax na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri qakꞌulel rech kaqapatanij ri Dios man rukꞌ ta xibꞌin ibꞌ,
75 All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.
rukꞌ jun tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal xuqujeꞌ sukꞌal, pa ronojel qꞌij rech ri qakꞌaslemal.
76 And thou, babe, shalt be called the Prophet of the most High: for thou shalt goe before the face of the Lord, to prepare his waies,
At, nukꞌojol, kabꞌix na qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij ri nimalaj Dios chawe, kasukꞌumaj na apanoq ri ubꞌe ri Ajawxel.
77 And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes,
Katzijoj na jas kakibꞌan ri winaq rech kekolotajik xuqujeꞌ kekuyutaj che ri kimak.
78 Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs,
Tyox che ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios, katunan na ri tunal rech pa ri kaj, chiqaxoꞌl.
79 To giue light to them that sit in darknes, and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feete into the way of peace.
Kuꞌtunaj na ri e kꞌo pa ri qꞌequꞌmal, pa ri uqꞌequꞌmal ri kamikal, xuqujeꞌ kukꞌam na qabꞌe pa ri ubꞌeal ri jaꞌmaril.
80 And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the wildernesse, til the day came that he should shewe him selfe vnto Israel.
Xkꞌiy kꞌu ri Juan, sibꞌalaj xpe uchuqꞌabꞌ pa ri ranimaꞌ. Xkꞌojiꞌ pa ri katzꞌinow ulew kꞌa pa ri qꞌij are xukꞌut ribꞌ chkiwach ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
