Matthew 23
1 Then spoke Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Are xbꞌantaj we riꞌ, ri Jesús xubꞌij chike ri winaq xuqujeꞌ ri utijoxelabꞌ:
2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
Rajawaxik chi ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ ri fariseos kakiya uchꞌobꞌik chiꞌwe jas kubꞌij ri taqanik rech ri Moisés.
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not all of you after their works: for they say, and do not.
Rajawaxik kinimaj xuqujeꞌ kibꞌano ronojel ri kakibꞌij chiꞌwe. Are makibꞌan taj ri kakibꞌan aꞌreꞌ, rumal man kakibꞌan taj ri kakitzijoj.
4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
Kakiya nimaꞌq taq eqaꞌn cho kachaq nikꞌaj chik, man kakaj ta kꞌu aꞌreꞌ kakisalabꞌaj rukꞌ jun uwiꞌ kiqꞌabꞌ.
5 But all their works they do in order to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Are kakaj kekaꞌyex kumal ri winaq, rumal cher kakikoj ri nimaꞌq taq filacterias xuqujeꞌ kakiwiqiqej ri katzꞌyaq.
6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Kekam xuqujeꞌ che ri kꞌolibꞌal ri nim uqꞌij xuqujeꞌ ri nabꞌe taq tem pa taq ri Sinagoga.
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Are kakaj kaya rutzil kiwach pa taq ri kꞌayibꞌal, utz kakito kabꞌix ajtij, chike.
8 But be not all of you called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all you are brethren.
Man kiya ta kꞌu bꞌe kabꞌix ajtij chiꞌwe ix, rumal xa jun iwajtij kꞌolik, iwonojel iwachalal iwibꞌ.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Xuqujeꞌ mibꞌij itat che jun winaq chik ajuwachulew, rumal xa jun iTat ix kꞌolik, are ri kꞌo pa ri kaj.
10 Neither be all of you called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Miya bꞌe xuqujeꞌ kabꞌix ajtij chiꞌwe, rumal xa jun iwajtij kꞌolik, are ri Cristo.
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Ri sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij chiꞌxoꞌl ix, kux na patanijel ke nikꞌaj chik.
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be brought low; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri kunimarisaj ribꞌ, kanitzꞌarisax na, are kꞌu ri kunitzꞌarisaj ribꞌ, kanimarisax na uqꞌij.
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for all of you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer all of you them that are entering to go in.
¡Kꞌax iwe aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ fariseos, ix kawach! Kitzꞌapij ri kaj chikiwach nikꞌaj winaq chik, man kixok ta ix, xuqujeꞌ man kiya ta bꞌe chike ri kakaj koꞌkik.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore all of you shall receive the greater damnation.
/¡Kꞌax iwe fariseos xuqujeꞌ aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik! Kimaj ri kachoch ri malkaꞌnibꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kijaluj chi kibꞌan chꞌawem cho ri Dios, kibꞌan tuqutaq taq ichꞌawem rech kixkil ri winaq. Rumal kꞌu waꞌ kꞌax na kabꞌan chuqꞌatik tzij pa iwiꞌ./
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, all of you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
¡Kꞌax iwe aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik, xuqujeꞌ ri ix fariseos, ix kawach! Kiqꞌaxaj tinimit xuqujeꞌ cho chuchꞌekik jun tereneꞌl iwe, are kixkwin chuchꞌekik ri tereneꞌl iwe riꞌ, tajin kibꞌan che chi kux kebꞌ mul chiꞌwech ix taqal che keꞌ pa ri tyoꞌnel qꞌaqꞌ. (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe unto you, all of you blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
¡Kꞌax iwe moy taq kꞌamal bꞌe! We kꞌo jun kunaꞌtaj jun jastaq pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Templo, maj kel riꞌ che, we kꞌu kunaꞌtaj jun jastaq pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri qꞌana pwaq ri kꞌo pa ri Templo, kajatꞌitaj kan riꞌ rukꞌ ri utzij.
17 All of you fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that santifies the gold?
¡Moy taq winaq, maj iwetaꞌmabꞌal! ¿Jachin nim uqꞌij, la are ri qꞌana pwaq, o are ri Templo ri kutyoxirisaj ri qꞌana pwaq?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever swears by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
Ix xuqujeꞌ kibꞌij: “We kꞌo jun winaq kubꞌij jun jastaq pa ubꞌiꞌ ri tzujbꞌal sipanik, maj kel riꞌ, we kꞌu kꞌo jun kubꞌij jun jastaq pa ubꞌiꞌ ri sipanik ri kuya choch ri tzujbꞌal sipanik, kajatꞌitaj na riꞌ rukꞌ ri utzij.”
19 All of you fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that santifies the gift?
¡Ix moy! ¿Jachin nim uqꞌij, ri sipanik o are ri tzujbꞌal sipanik ri katyoxirisan ri sipanik?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, swears by it, and by all things thereon.
Jeriꞌ xapachin ri kubꞌij jun jastaq pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri tzujbꞌal sipanik, man xaq xwi ta kubꞌij pa ubꞌiꞌ ri tzujbꞌal, xane pa ubꞌiꞌ ronojel ri kꞌo puꞌwiꞌ ri tzujbꞌal sipanik.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, swears by it, and by him that dwells therein.
Ri winaq ri kubꞌij jun jastaq pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Templo, man xaq xwi ta kubꞌij pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Templo, xane tajin kubꞌij pa ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios, rumal cher are ri Dios kꞌo pa ri Templo.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him that sits thereon.
Ri kubꞌij jun jastaq pa ubꞌiꞌ ri kaj, tajin kubꞌij pa ubꞌiꞌ ri utꞌuyulibꞌal ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios rumal cher Areꞌ tꞌuyul chilaꞌ.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought all of you to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
¡Kꞌax iwe ix aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ fariseos, ix kawach! Kiya ri ulajujil ri menta, ri anis, xuqujeꞌ ri comino. Itzaqom kꞌu kanoq ri taqanik ri nim uqꞌij jetaq ri sukꞌal, ri bꞌanoj toqꞌobꞌ, ri utzilal. Choqꞌaqꞌ wi ubꞌanik waꞌ we nikꞌaj riꞌ jacha we nikꞌaj chik riꞌ.
24 All of you blind guides, which strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Moy taq kꞌamal taq bꞌe. Kichaꞌ na ri nitzꞌ us, kibꞌiqꞌ kꞌu bꞌik ri kamey.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
¡Kꞌax iwe ix aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ fariseos, ix kawach! Kichꞌajchꞌobꞌej ri rij ri qumubꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri ipalaꞌt, are kꞌu ri upam nojinaq che elaqꞌ xuqujeꞌ etzelal.
26 You blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Moy laj fariseo, nabꞌe chachꞌajchꞌobꞌej ri upam ri aqumubꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri apalaꞌt, jeriꞌ kachꞌajchꞌojir riꞌ ri upam xuqujeꞌ ri rij.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you are like unto whitewashed sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
¡Kꞌax iwe ix aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ fariseos, ix kawach! Jer ix kꞌo muqbꞌal taq kaminaqibꞌ, saq iwij. Jeꞌl kakaꞌy ri iwij, ri ipam nojinaq che qꞌayinaq taq kibꞌaqil kaminaqibꞌ.
28 Even so all of you also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within all of you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Ix sukꞌ kixkaꞌy chiꞌwij, pa iwanimaꞌ ixnojinaq che kawachil xuqujeꞌ etzelal.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because all of you build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous,
¡Kꞌax iwe ix aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ fariseos, ix kawach! Kiyak tzꞌaq naꞌtabꞌal ke ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ kiwiqiqej ri tzꞌibꞌatal wi ri kibꞌiꞌ ri e sukꞌ taq winaq.
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Xuqujeꞌ kibꞌij we ta uj kꞌo uj che ri qꞌij ri xekꞌojiꞌ ri e qatat qanan, riꞌ man uj jun ta chikikamisaxik ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios.
31 Wherefore all of you be witnesses unto yourselves, that all of you are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Ix kachiꞌl kꞌut ri winaq riꞌ rumal kibꞌij chi ix kijaꞌl ri winaq ri xekamisan ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios.
32 Fill all of you up then the measure of your fathers.
¡Xa junmul chitzꞌaqatisaj ri xkibꞌan ri itat inan ojer!
33 All of you serpents, all of you generation of vipers, how can all of you escape the damnation of hell? (Geenna g1067)
¡Ix kumatz, ix kalkꞌwaꞌl taq kumatz! ¿Jachin katoꞌw iwiꞌ rech man kixeꞌ taj pa ri qꞌaqꞌ? (Geenna g1067)
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them all of you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall all of you scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
Rumal riꞌ keꞌntaq na loq qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios, achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal xuqujeꞌ aꞌjtijabꞌ. E kꞌo kiꞌkamisaj na chike e nikꞌaj chik kiꞌrip na, e nikꞌaj chik kerapux na pa taq ri Sinagoga, xuqujeꞌ koꞌqotax na pa taq ri tinimit.
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom all of you slew between the temple and the altar.
Jeriꞌ ix kixux na aꞌjmakibꞌ rumal cher kikamisaxik winaq ri maj kimak, waꞌ xchapleꞌtaj loq rukꞌ ri ukamikal ri Abel, xtoqꞌiꞌ rukꞌ ri ukamikal ri Zacarías ukꞌojol ri Berequías, ri xikamisaj pa ri Templo chuxoꞌl ri Tyoxalaj kꞌolibꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri tzujbꞌal rech ri tzujbꞌal sipanik.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ix kixtojow na ri kꞌaxal ri xkibꞌan kanoq ri itat inan.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets, and stone them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and all of you would not!
¡Winaq aꞌj Jerusalén, winaq aꞌj Jerusalén, ix ri kiꞌkamisaj ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ kibꞌan che abꞌaj ri winaq ri ketaq loq iwukꞌ! Sibꞌalaj kꞌi mul xwaj xeꞌnmulij riꞌ iwalkꞌwaꞌl jetaq kubꞌan jun atiꞌt akꞌ are kuꞌmulij ri ral pa ri uxikꞌ, man xawaj ta kꞌut.
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Rumal riꞌ maj jun winaq kakanaj na kanoq pa ri iwachoch.
39 For I say unto you, All of you shall not see me henceforth, till all of you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
Xuqujeꞌ kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi man kiwil ta chi na nuwach kꞌa kuriq na ri qꞌij are kibꞌij: Tewchiꞌtal ubꞌiꞌ ri petinaq pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel.
