< Acts 16 >

1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father [was] a Greek:
Ri Pablo xeꞌ pa ri tinimit Derbe, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌ pa ri tinimit Listra, chilaꞌ kꞌo wi jun ala tijoxel ubꞌiꞌnam Timoteo. Ri unan ri Timoteo jun ixoq kojonel aj Israel, ri utat aj Grecia.
2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Ri e kojonelabꞌ ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Listra xuqujeꞌ Iconio ketaꞌm chi utz ri kanoꞌjin ri Timoteo.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
Ri Pablo xusikꞌij bꞌik ri Timoteo rech keꞌ rukꞌ, xa kꞌu nabꞌe xutaqchiꞌj rech kok bꞌi etal che rumal cher kuꞌnimaj ri winaq aꞌj Israel ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit riꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ketaꞌm chi ri utat aj Grecia.
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
Xebꞌe kꞌu pa ronojel ri tinimit xkiya kꞌutuꞌn chike ri e kojonelabꞌ ri xkinimaj ri kꞌutuꞌn ri xya chike kumal ri uꞌtaqoꞌn ri Ajawxel xuqujeꞌ kumal ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri komontyox ri e kꞌo pa Jerusalén.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Xaq jeriꞌ xejeqiꞌ pa ri kikojobꞌal, xuqujeꞌ xekꞌiyar ri kojonelabꞌ.
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ ri Dios xubꞌij chike ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas chi man kakitzijoj ta ri utzij ri Dios pa taq ri leꞌaj rech Asia. Jeriꞌ xebꞌe pa Frigia xuqujeꞌ pa Galacia.
7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
Are xoꞌpan pa ri kꞌulbꞌat rech Misia, xkaj xebꞌe pa Bitinia. Ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Jesús junmul chik man xuya ta bꞌe chike xebꞌe chilaꞌ.
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
Xiꞌkꞌow kꞌu bꞌik pa ri Misia xeqaj bꞌik pa ri tinimit Troas ri kꞌo chiꞌ ri Plo.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
Che ri chaqꞌabꞌ riꞌ, ri Dios xukꞌut cho ri Pablo chi kꞌo jun achi aj Macedonia ri kꞌo pa Grecia, tajin kusikꞌij loq ri Pablo, kubꞌij: Chatan loq jewaꞌ pa Macedonia, chujulatoꞌ.
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
Xaq jeriꞌ aninaq xqachomaj xujeꞌ pa ri Macedonia, xqachꞌobꞌo chi ri Dios are karaj kaqatzijoj ri utz laj tzij pa ri tinimit riꞌ.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next [day] to Neapolis;
Xujaqꞌan kꞌu bꞌik pa jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ jaꞌ ri kꞌo pa ri tinimit Troas, xujeꞌ pa ri chꞌaqaꞌp ulew ri sutital rumal jaꞌ ubꞌiꞌnam Samotracia, chukabꞌ qꞌij xujqꞌax pa ri tinimit Neápolis.
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, [and] a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
Are xujopan pa ri tinimit Filipos, jun tinimit ri kꞌo pa Macedonia, kitinimit ri aꞌj Roma, xujkanaj kan chilaꞌ jun janipa qꞌij.
13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted [thither.]
Pa ri qꞌij rech uxlanem xujel bꞌik pa ri tinimit, xujeꞌ chuchiꞌ ri nimaꞌ chilaꞌ kakimulij wi kibꞌ nikꞌaj winaq chubꞌanik chꞌawem. Xujtꞌuyiꞌk, xujtzijon kukꞌ nikꞌaj ixoqibꞌ ri kimulim kibꞌ chilaꞌ.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard [us]: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
Kꞌo kꞌu jun ixoq chikixoꞌl ri winaq ubꞌiꞌ Lidia, aj pa ri tinimit Tiatira. We ixoq riꞌ kꞌayil manta ri paqal taq rajil. Ri Lidia jun qꞌijilaꞌl Dios, are tajin kutatabꞌej ri tzij ri kaqatzijoj, ri Ajawxel xujaq ri ranimaꞌ rech xukꞌamawaꞌj ri tajin kubꞌij ri Pablo.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
Xbꞌan kꞌu uqasanaꞌ xuqujeꞌ xbꞌan kiqasanaꞌ ri e kꞌo rukꞌ pa ri rachoch. Kꞌa te kꞌu riꞌ xubꞌij chaqe: We kikojo chi qas in kojonel chik che ri Ajawxel, chixanloq wukꞌ pa ri wachoch, xujubꞌochiꞌj rech xujkanaj kan rukꞌ.
16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
Jun qꞌijal kꞌut uj bꞌenaq chubꞌanik chꞌawem, xqarik jun ali aj ikꞌ kꞌo jun itzel uxlabꞌal che. Kubꞌij jas keriqitaj ri winaq, kuchꞌek nimalaj pwaq rukꞌ ri kubꞌano kꞌa te riꞌ kuya chike ri rajaw.
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
We ali riꞌ xutereneꞌj bꞌik ri Pablo xuqujeꞌ uj, xuraq uchiꞌ xubꞌij: We achyabꞌ ri e patanil taq rech ri nimalaj Dios e petinaq waral chutzijoxik chiꞌwe jas rajawaxik kibꞌano rech kixkolotajik.
18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
Kꞌi qꞌij jewaꞌ xubꞌan ri ali, xkꞌistaj kꞌu ukꞌuꞌx ri Pablo xubꞌij che ri itzel uxlabꞌal ri kꞌo che ri ali: Pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Jesucristo, chatel bꞌik che we ali riꞌ. Aninaqil xel bꞌik ri itzel uxlabꞌal ri kꞌo che ri ali.
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew [them] into the marketplace unto the rulers,
Ri e rajaw ri ali are xkilo chi ri ali makuchꞌek ta chi pwaq, xeꞌkichap ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas, xeꞌkijururej, xeꞌkikꞌam bꞌik chikiwach ri e qꞌatal taq tzij ri e kꞌo pa ri kꞌayibꞌal.
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Xubꞌe kitzujuj, jewaꞌ xkibꞌij: Konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit yakatajinaq koyawal kumal ke we achyabꞌ aꞌj Israel.
21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
Kakikꞌut naqꞌatajibꞌal ri man kuya taj kaqabꞌan uj ri uj romanos, man tzij taj ri kakibꞌij.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat [them].
Xkimulij kꞌu kibꞌ ri winaq chikij ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas, ri e qꞌatal tzij xetaqan chi resaxik ri katzꞌyaq rech kechꞌayik.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
Sibꞌalaj kꞌi mul xechꞌayik, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkikoj pa cheꞌ. Xkibꞌij che ri chajinel chi utz kubꞌan chikichajixik rech man kaꞌnimaj ta bꞌik.
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Ri chajinel, xuꞌkoj bꞌik pa ri kꞌolibꞌal jawjeꞌ qas kakiriq wi kꞌax xujatꞌij kan ri kaqan rech man kekwin taj kesalabꞌik.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
Pa ri nikꞌaj aqꞌabꞌ ri Pablo, rachiꞌl ri Silas tajin kakibꞌan chꞌawem xuqujeꞌ kebꞌixon che ri Dios, ri winaq ri e kachiꞌl e kꞌo pa che tajin keꞌkitatabꞌej apanoq.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
Xaq kꞌa teꞌ xubꞌan jun nimalaj kabꞌraqan ri xusalabꞌaj ri raqan ja rech ri cheꞌ, aninaq xejaqataj ri uchiꞌ. Xtꞌoqopin xuqujeꞌ ri chꞌichꞌ jatꞌibꞌal ke konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri cheꞌ.
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
Are xkꞌastaj ri chajinel rech ri cheꞌ e jaqajoj ronojel ri uchiꞌ ja, xresaj kꞌu ri usakꞌibꞌal are xraj xukamisaj ribꞌ, puꞌkꞌuꞌx chi xaꞌnimaj bꞌik konojel ri e kꞌo pa ri cheꞌ.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Ri Pablo kꞌut ko xuraq uchiꞌ, xubꞌij che: Man kakamisaj ta awibꞌ, qonojel uj uj kꞌo waral.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
Ri chajinel rech ri cheꞌ xtaqan chutzijik ri qꞌaqꞌ, aninaq xok bꞌik pa ri cheꞌ kabꞌiribꞌatik xukiꞌ chikiwach ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas.
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌresaj loq pa ri cheꞌ xuta chike: Achyabꞌ, ¿jas rajawaxik kinbꞌano rech kinkolotajik?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas xkibꞌij che: Chatkojon che ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, rech katkolotajik xuqujeꞌ kekolotaj ri e kꞌo awukꞌ pa ri awachoch.
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas xkitzijoj ri utzij ri Dios che ri achi, xuqujeꞌ chike konojel ri e kꞌo pa rachoch.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed [their] stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
Che ri aqꞌabꞌ riꞌ ri chajinel rech ri cheꞌ xuchꞌaj ri sokotajik chike ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas. Xbꞌan kꞌu uqasanaꞌ ri achi xuqujeꞌ konojel ri e kꞌo pa rachoch.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
Te kꞌu riꞌ xuꞌkꞌam bꞌik ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas cho rachoch, xuꞌtzuqu. Konojel kꞌut xekiꞌkotik rumal xekojon che ri Dios.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
Are xsaqirik, ri e qꞌatal tzij xeꞌkitaq bꞌik jujun e taqoꞌn chubꞌixik che ri chajinel rech ri cheꞌ chi kutzoqopij bꞌik ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas.
36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
Ri chajinel rech ri cheꞌ xubꞌij che ri Pablo: Ri qꞌatal taq tzij xkitaq loq ubꞌixik chwe chi kixintzoqopij bꞌik. Jix pa jaꞌmaril.
37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast [us] into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
Ri Pablo xubꞌij: Uj uj aj Roma, xujkirapuj chikiwach konojel ri winaq, man nabꞌe ta na xkiqꞌat tzij pa qawiꞌ. Chanim kꞌut are kakaj kujel bꞌik chaꞌwal, man kuya ta ri. Chepet na aꞌreꞌ, jujul kitzoqopij kan rukꞌ kiqꞌabꞌ.
38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
Are xkita ri e qꞌatal tzij ri xbꞌix chike kumal ri e taqoꞌn, xkixiꞌj kibꞌ rumal cher xkito chi ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas aꞌj Roma.
39 And they came and besought them, and brought [them] out, and desired [them] to depart out of the city.
Xepe kꞌu ri qꞌatal taq tzij, xeꞌkita toqꞌobꞌ chike, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkibꞌochiꞌj rech keꞌl bꞌik pa ri tinimit.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Xel kꞌu bꞌik pa ri cheꞌ, xetzalij cho rachoch ri Lidia. Xeꞌkitaqchiꞌj ri kojonelabꞌ, kejeqiꞌk pa ri kikojobꞌal, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌl bꞌik pa ri tinimit.
