< Acts 9 >

1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
Ri Saulo sibꞌalaj kꞌaꞌnarinaq kurayij kikamisaxik ri e tereneꞌl taq rech ri Ajawxel, rumal riꞌ xeꞌ rukꞌ ri kinimaꞌqil ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios.
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
Xutoqꞌij chi kataq bꞌik wuj pa ri Sinagoga ri kꞌo pa ri tinimit Damasco, rech ketaqan che kichapik ri kojonelabꞌ che ri Jesús. Xuqujeꞌ rech we kuꞌriq achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ ri e kojonelabꞌ kuꞌkꞌam bꞌik pa cheꞌ je laꞌ pa Jerusalén.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
Ri Saulo are xopan chunaqaj ri tinimit Damasco rech kubꞌana ri rajawam ukꞌuꞌx xaq kꞌa teꞌ xril jun nimalaj tunal ri xpe cho ri kaj, xusutij rij.
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Ri Saulo xtzaq pa ri ulew, xuta jun chꞌabꞌal, xubꞌij che: Saulo, Saulo, ¿jas che tajin kabꞌan kꞌax chwe?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Ri Saulo xubꞌij: ¿Jachin ri lal, Tat? Ri Jesús xubꞌij: In, in Jesús ri tajin kabꞌan kꞌax chwe.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Chatwaꞌjiloq, jat pa ri tinimit. Chilaꞌ kabꞌix wi chawe jas rajawaxik kabꞌano, xuchixik.
7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
Ri achyabꞌ ri e bꞌenaq rukꞌ ri Saulo man kakiriq ta chik jas kakibꞌij rumal chi man kakil ta uwach ri tajin kachꞌawik xaq xwi kakita ri chꞌabꞌal.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought [him] into Damascus.
Are xwaꞌjil ri Saulo, xraj xkaꞌyik man xkwin ta chi kꞌut, rumal cher xmoyirik. Xaq xtzuyex chi bꞌik che ri uqꞌabꞌ kumal ri rachiꞌl xebꞌe pa ri tinimit Damasco.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
Oxibꞌ qꞌij xkanaj chilaꞌ, moy. Maj wa maj jaꞌ xutijo.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.
Kꞌo kꞌu jun kojonel pa ri tinimit Damasco ubꞌiꞌ Ananías. Xchꞌabꞌex rumal ri Dios: ¡Ananías! xuchixik. Ri Ananías xubꞌij: In kꞌolik riꞌ Ajawxel.
11 And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for [one] called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
Ri Ajawxel xubꞌij che: Jat pa ri bꞌe ri kabꞌix wiqiqꞌabꞌ che, pa ri rachoch ri Judas, are katopanik chataꞌ jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi ri jun achi ri kape pa ri tinimit Tarso, ubꞌiꞌnam Saulo, chanim tajin kubꞌan chꞌawem.
12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting [his] hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
Xinkꞌut choch chi kꞌo jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Ananías, kopan jawjeꞌ ri kꞌo wi, kuya uqꞌabꞌ puꞌwiꞌ rech katzalitaj ri ukaꞌyibꞌal.
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Ri Ananías xubꞌij: Ajawxel, e nutom sibꞌalaj kꞌi winaq kakitzijoj ri itzel taq jastaq ri ubꞌanom ri achi riꞌ chike ri kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Jerusalén.
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Xuqujeꞌ yaꞌtal bꞌe che kumal ri kinimaꞌqil ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios rech kuꞌchap konojel ri kakinaꞌtaj ri bꞌiꞌ la.
15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Ri Ajawxel xubꞌij che ri Ananías: ¡Jat! waꞌ we achi riꞌ kinkoj na chutzijoxik ri nutzij chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, xuqujeꞌ kutzijoj na ri nutzij chike ri taqanelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ chike ri tinimit Israel.
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
Kinkꞌut na choch jas jeꞌ uriqik kꞌax rumal ri nubꞌiꞌ.
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Xeꞌ kꞌu ri Ananías jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi ri Saulo, xuya ri uqꞌabꞌ puꞌwiꞌ xubꞌij che: Wachalal Saulo, ri Ajawxel Jesús ri xukꞌut ribꞌ chawach pa ri bꞌe xinutaq loq rech katkwinik katkaꞌyik, xuqujeꞌ rech katnoj che ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
Aninaq xel nikꞌaj slot che ri ubꞌoqꞌoch ri Saulo, xkaꞌyik xuqujeꞌ xwaꞌjilik kꞌa te riꞌ xbꞌan uqasanaꞌ.
19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xwaꞌik jeriꞌ xtzalij ri uchuqꞌabꞌ. Xkanaj kꞌu kan kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij pa ri tinimit Damasco.
20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Ri Saulo xuchapleꞌj utzijoxik ri Jesús pa taq ri Sinagoga, xubꞌij: Qas tzij ri Jesús, are ukꞌojol ri Dios.
21 But all that heard [him] were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
Konojel ri xkita ri tzij sibꞌalaj xemayijanik xkibꞌij: ¿La man kꞌu are waꞌ ri achi ri xukoj chꞌoꞌj chikixoꞌl ri kojonelabꞌ pa ri tinimit Jerusalén? ¿La man kꞌu are waꞌ ri kuꞌyut bꞌik ri kojonelabꞌ kuꞌkꞌam bꞌik chikiwach ri kinimaꞌqil ri chꞌawenelabꞌ?
22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
Qꞌij chi qꞌij ri Saulo xkꞌiy uchuqꞌabꞌ chutzijoxik ri utz laj tzij chike ri aꞌj Israel ri e kꞌo pa Damasco, xa jeriꞌ xkiqꞌalajisaj chi ri Jesús are Mesías.
23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
Ikꞌowinaq chi sibꞌalaj kꞌi qꞌij ri winaq aꞌj Israel xkichomaj ukamisaxik ri Saulo.
24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
Chi chaqꞌabꞌ chi paqꞌij xkichajij ri uchiꞌ ja rech ri tinimit rech jeriꞌ kakikamisaj, xbꞌix kꞌu che ri Saulo ri kichomanik ri winaq.
25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him] down by the wall in a basket.
Jun chaqꞌabꞌ kꞌut nikꞌaj kojonelabꞌ xkiqasaj bꞌi ri Saulo pa jun chakach pa jun teqꞌ rech ri tapya rech ri tinimit.
26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
Are xopan ri Saulo pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, xraj xkꞌojiꞌ kukꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ. Ri kojonelabꞌ xkixiꞌj kibꞌ che, man xkikoj taj chi qas kojonel chik.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought [him] to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
Xpe kꞌu ri Bernabé, xukꞌam bꞌik ri Saulo chkiwach ri e taqoꞌn xutzijoj chike chi ri Saulo xril ri Jesús pa ri bꞌe ri keꞌ pa ri tinimit Damasco xuqujeꞌ xchꞌabꞌex rumal. Xubꞌij xuqujeꞌ chike chi ri Saulo rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ xutzijoj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Jesús je laꞌ pa ri tinimit Damasco.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
Xaq jeriꞌ xkanaj kan ri Saulo kukꞌ ri e taqoꞌn rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ xkitzijoj ri utzij ri Ajawxel pa ri tinimit Jerusalén.
29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
Ri Saulo xtzijon kukꞌ nikꞌaj winaq aꞌj Israel, we winaq ri ketzijon pa ri tzijobꞌal griego, are xkita ri xubꞌij chike xkaj xkikamisaj.
30 [Which] when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Are xkita ri kojonelabꞌ ri xkꞌulmatajik, xkikꞌam bꞌik ri Saulo pa tinimit Cesarea, kꞌa te riꞌ xkitaq bꞌik pa ri utinimit je laꞌ Tarso.
31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
Ri komontyox xkꞌiyik xuqujeꞌ xuriq jaꞌmaril pa ronojel Judea, pa Galilea xuqujeꞌ pa Samaria. Ri kojonelabꞌ xkimochꞌ kibꞌ xeꞌ raqan uqꞌabꞌ ri Ajawxel xyaꞌtaj kichuqꞌabꞌ pa ri kikojobꞌal rukꞌ ri utobꞌanik ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all [quarters], he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
Are kꞌu ri Pedro are tajin kuꞌsolij sibꞌalaj kꞌi leꞌaj xeꞌ chikisolixik ri e kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Lida.
33 And there he found a certain man named Æneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
Chilaꞌ xuriq wi jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Eneas, we achi riꞌ wajxaqibꞌ junabꞌ chik qꞌoyol pa ri uchꞌat, kaminaq ri ubꞌaqil.
34 And Peter said unto him, Æneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Ri Pedro xubꞌij che: Eneas, chatwaꞌjiloq. Ri Jesucristo katukunaj, chayaka bꞌik ri achꞌat. Are xbꞌiꞌtaj we riꞌ che, aninaq xutzirik.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
Ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Lida, xuqujeꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Sarón, are xkilo chi ri Eneas xbꞌinik xekojon che ri Ajawxel.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
Kꞌo kꞌu jun ixoq kojonel pa ri tinimit Jope ubꞌiꞌ Tabita, (pa ri chꞌabꞌal griego kel kubꞌij Dorcas). We chuchuꞌ riꞌ amaqꞌel kubꞌan utz laj taq jastaq xuqujeꞌ kuꞌtoꞌ ri e mebꞌaibꞌ.
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid [ her] in an upper chamber.
Xyawaj kꞌu che taq ri qꞌij riꞌ kꞌa te riꞌ xkamik. Xchꞌaj kꞌu ri utyoꞌjal xya pa uwiq jun ja.
38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring [him] that he would not delay to come to them.
Ri kojonelabꞌ are xkito chi ri Pedro naqaj kꞌo wi chike xeꞌkitaq bꞌik kebꞌ achyabꞌ rukꞌ xeꞌkibꞌij che: Chabꞌana jun toqꞌobꞌ, jat qukꞌ aninaq.
39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
Ri Pedro xeꞌ kukꞌ. Are xoꞌpanik xkikꞌam bꞌik pa ri ja ri kꞌo chikaj. Pa ri ja e nojinaq malkaꞌnibꞌ koꞌqꞌik kakikꞌut cho ri Pedro ri katzꞌyaq ri ubꞌanom ri Dorcas are xkꞌojiꞌ kukꞌ.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning [him] to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Ri Pedro xeꞌresaj loq konojel ri e kꞌo pa ri ja kꞌa te riꞌ xukiꞌk xubꞌan chꞌawem. Xukaꞌyej ri kaminaq, xubꞌij che: Tabita, chatwaꞌjiloq. Ri Tabita xujaq ri ubꞌoqꞌoch, are xril ri Pedro, xwaꞌjilik, xtꞌuyiꞌk.
41 And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
Ri Pedro xuchap che ri uqꞌabꞌ, xutoꞌo xwaꞌjilik. Kꞌa te riꞌ xuꞌsikꞌij ri e malkaꞌnibꞌ xuqujeꞌ konojel ri kojonelabꞌ xukꞌut chikiwach chi ri Tabita kꞌaslik.
42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
Xtzijox kꞌu ri kꞌulmatajem pa ronojel ri tinimit, e kꞌi xekojon che ri Ajawxel.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
Naj kꞌut xkꞌojiꞌ na kan ri Pedro pa ri tinimit Jope cho rachoch ri Simón ri kachakun che taq tzꞌuꞌm.
