Matthew 3
1 And in those dayes, Iohn the Baptist came and preached in the wildernes of Iudea,
Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ xopan ri Juan Bꞌanal qasanaꞌ chutzijoxik ri utzij ri Dios pa taq ri katzꞌinow ulew rech ri tinimit Judea.
2 And said, Repent: for the kingdome of heauen is at hand.
Jewaꞌ xubꞌij: Chikꞌexa ikꞌuꞌx rumal xqet loq ri ajawarem rech ri kaj.
3 For this is he of whome it is spoken by the Prophet Esaias, saying, The voyce of him that crieth in the wildernes, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make his pathes straight.
Ri Juan are waꞌ ri achi ri xtzꞌibꞌax loq rij rumal ri qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij ri Dios Isaías, are xubꞌij: Uchꞌabꞌal jun winaq ri kasikꞌinik pa ri katzꞌinow ulew, kubꞌij: “Chisukꞌumaj ri ubꞌe ri Ajawxel, sukꞌum chibꞌana che ri ubꞌe.”
4 And this Iohn had his garment of camels heare, and a girdle of a skinne about his loynes: his meate was also locusts and wilde hony.
Ri ratzꞌyaq ri Juan che rismal kamey bꞌantal wi. Ujatꞌim ri upam rukꞌ jun tzꞌuꞌm jatꞌibꞌal xuqujeꞌ kuꞌtij sakꞌ xuqujeꞌ juyubꞌil kabꞌ che uwa.
5 Then went out to him Ierusalem and all Iudea, and all the region rounde about Iordan.
Ri winaq aꞌj Jerusalén, aꞌj Judea, xuqujeꞌ ri keꞌl je laꞌ pa Jordán xoꞌpan rukꞌ ri Juan.
6 And they were baptized of him in Iordan, confessing their sinnes.
Are katzujutaj kibꞌ che ri kimak kabꞌan kan kiqasanaꞌ pa ri nimaꞌ Jordán.
7 Now when he sawe many of the Pharises, and of the Sadduces come to his baptisme, he said vnto them, O generations of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flee from the anger to come?
Are xril ri Juan chi xoꞌpan sibꞌalaj e kꞌi fariseos xuqujeꞌ e kꞌi saduceos pa ri leꞌaj jawjeꞌ ri tajin kubꞌan wi ri qasanaꞌ, xubꞌij chike: Kijaꞌl taq kumatz, ¿jachin xbꞌin chiꞌwe chi kixkwinik kixanimaj choch ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri kape na pa iwiꞌ?
8 Bring foorth therefore fruite worthy amendment of life.
Qas utz chixnoꞌjinoq rech qas kaqꞌalajinik chi qas xikꞌex ikꞌuꞌx.
9 And thinke not to say with your selues, We haue Abraham to our father: for I say vnto you, that God is able euen of these stones to raise vp children vnto Abraham.
Man kixkwin ta kꞌut kibꞌij: “Are qatat ri Abraham.” Rumal kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri Dios kakwinik kubꞌano chi kekꞌiy ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Abraham chike we abꞌaj riꞌ.
10 And now also is the axe put to the roote of the trees: therfore euery tree which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewen downe, and cast into ye fire.
Ri ikaj xaq yaꞌtal chik rukꞌ ri ukꞌaꞌmalil ri cheꞌ. Ronojel kꞌu cheꞌ ri man kuya ta uwach kaqasax na, xuqujeꞌ kakꞌyaq na bꞌik pa ri qꞌaqꞌ.
11 In deede I baptize you with water to amendment of life, but he that commeth after me, is mightier then I, whose shoes I am not worthie to beare: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, and with fire.
In kinbꞌan iqasanaꞌ rukꞌ jaꞌ rech kikꞌex ikꞌuꞌx. Kꞌo kꞌu jun ri kape na, sibꞌalaj kꞌo ukwinem chinuwach in, man taqal ta chwe xa ta ne kinwukꞌaj ri uxajabꞌ. Areꞌ kubꞌan na iqasanaꞌ rukꞌ ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ qꞌaqꞌ.
12 Which hath his fanne in his hand, and wil make cleane his floore, and gather his wheate into his garner, but will burne vp the chaffe with vnquenchable fire.
Kꞌo ri uchaꞌbꞌal puꞌqꞌabꞌ, kuchꞌajchꞌobꞌej na ri rulew. Kuyak na ri tiriko ri kꞌo pa ri ukꞌolibꞌal, are kꞌu ri pajo kuporoj na pa ri qꞌaqꞌ ri maj ukꞌisik.
13 Then came Iesus from Galile to Iordan vnto Iohn, to be baptized of him.
Jun qꞌijal ri Jesús xel bꞌik pa Galilea, xeꞌ pa ri nimaꞌ Jordán rech kabꞌan kan uqasanaꞌ rumal ri Juan.
14 But Iohn earnestly put him backe, saying, I haue neede to be baptized of thee, and commest thou to me?
Ri Juan are xraj xukꞌex ri uchomanik ri Jesús, xubꞌij che: ¿La are kꞌu kaj la in kinbꞌanow ri qasanaꞌ la? In riꞌ ri rajawaxik kabꞌan la nuqasanaꞌ.
15 Then Iesus answering, saide to him, Let be nowe: for thus it becommeth vs to fulfill all righteousnes. So he suffered him.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Qabꞌana jetaq ri kinbꞌij chawe, rumal kumajo are kaqabꞌan ri karaj ri Dios. Ri Juan xunimaj ri xubꞌij ri Jesús che.
16 And Iesus when hee was baptized, came straight out of the water. And lo, the heaues were opened vnto him, and Iohn saw the Spirit of God descending like a doue, and lighting vpon him.
Are xbꞌantaj uqasanaꞌ ri Jesús, xel loq pa ri jaꞌ. Pa ri qꞌotaj riꞌ, xjaqajobꞌ ri kaj, kꞌa te riꞌ xril ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Dios xqaj loq puꞌwiꞌ jacha jun palomax.
17 And loe, a voyce came from heauen, saying, This is my beloued Sonne, in whome I am well pleased.
Xtataj kꞌu jun chꞌabꞌal rech chilaꞌ chikaj xubꞌij: Are waꞌ ri Loqꞌalaj nuKꞌojol, sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkot wanimaꞌ rumal rech.
