< Luke 16 >

1 He said, likewise, to his disciples, A certain rich man had a steward, who was accused to him of wasting his estate.
Ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ xutzijoj jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: Kꞌo jun qꞌinom achi, ri xkꞌojiꞌk jun rajchak chajil re ri uqꞌinomal. Ri qꞌinom achi xretaꞌmaj chi ri rajchak xaq tajin kusach ri urajil pa taq jastaq ri man kꞌo ta kutayij.
2 Having, therefore, called him, he said, What is this that I hear of you? Render an account of your management, for you shall be steward no longer.
Ri qꞌinom achi xusikꞌij ri rajchak, xubꞌij che: “¿Jas riꞌ ri xinto kabꞌix chawe? Man katkwin ta chik katchakun wukꞌ, chajacha kan ronojel ri akwenta.”
3 And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? My master takes from me the stewardship; I can not dig, and am ashamed to beg.
Ri ajchak xuchomaj, xubꞌij: “¿Jas kinbꞌano? Maj nuchuqꞌabꞌ chukꞌotik jul, xuqujeꞌ kꞌixibꞌal riꞌ we kinta nulimoxna.
4 I am resolved what to do, that when I am discarded, there may be some who will receive me into their houses.
Wetaꞌm kꞌut jas ri kinbꞌano, rajawaxik keꞌntzukuj winaq ri kinkikꞌamawaꞌj cho taq ri kachoch are kinesax bꞌik pa ri nuchak.”
5 Having, therefore, sent severally for all his master's debtors, he asked one, How much do you owe my master?
Xuchapleꞌj kꞌu kisikꞌixik pa jujunal konojel ri winaq ri kꞌo kikꞌas. Xuta kꞌu che ri nabꞌe: “¿Janipa akꞌas rukꞌ ri wajaw?”
6 He answered, A hundred baths of oil. Take back your bill, said the steward, sit down directly, and write fifty.
Xubꞌij ri ajkꞌas che: “Jun ciento tonel aceite olivo nukꞌas.” Xubꞌij kꞌu ri kabꞌan rech puꞌwiꞌ ronojel ri jastaq che: “Riꞌ le uwujil ri akꞌas. Chattꞌuyuloq, chatzꞌibꞌaj kanoq chi xa nikꞌaj ciento chik akꞌas.”
7 Then he asked another, How much do you owe? He answered, A hundred homers of wheat. Take back your bill, said he, and write eighty.
Xuta chi kꞌu che ri jun e ri at: “¿Janipa akꞌas rukꞌ ri wajaw?” Ri ajkꞌas xubꞌij che: “Jun ciento koxtar tiriko.” Ri kabꞌan rech puꞌwiꞌ ronojel ri jastaq xubꞌij che: “Riꞌ le awuj, chatzꞌibꞌaj kanoq xa chi wajxaqibꞌ koxtar tiriko akꞌas.”
8 The master commended the prudence of the unjust steward; for the children of this world are more prudent in conducting their affairs, than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
Xya kꞌu uqꞌij ri ajchak rumal ri rajaw rumal ri xnoꞌjin kukꞌ ri winaq. Ri e winaq ri aꞌjuwachulew are kꞌo na kinoꞌjibꞌal rumal ri kakibꞌan kukꞌ taq ri e kech winaq, kꞌo na ri kechoman chikiwach ri e winaq ri kikꞌamawaꞌm ri tunal. (aiōn g165)
9 Therefore, I say to you, with the deceitful riches procure to yourself friends, who, after your discharge, may receive you into the eternal mansion. (aiōnios g166)
Rumal laꞌ kinbꞌij in chiꞌwe: Chikojo bꞌa ri iqꞌinomal rech uwachulew chikichꞌekik iwach taq chꞌabꞌeꞌn, rech are kakꞌis waꞌ we qꞌinomal riꞌ, kꞌo kixkꞌamawaꞌn ix pa ri jun alik kꞌaslemal. (aiōnios g166)
10 Whoso is faithful in little is faithful also in much: and whoso is unjust in little, is unjust also in much.
Ri sukꞌ ranimaꞌ rukꞌ ri nitzꞌ jastaq, sukꞌ xuqujeꞌ na riꞌ rukꞌ ri nimaꞌq taj jastaq, xuqujeꞌ ri tzꞌaqat rukꞌ ri nitzꞌ jastaq, tzꞌaqat xuqujeꞌ na riꞌ kanoꞌjin rukꞌ ri nimalaj taq jastaq.
11 If, therefore, you have not been honest in the deceitful, who will intrust you with the true riches?
Rumal laꞌ kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, we man sukꞌ kixnoꞌjin chukojik ri qꞌinomal rech uwachulew, ¿jachin ta kꞌu riꞌ ri kakubꞌiꞌ ukꞌuꞌx chiꞌwe che uchajixik ri qꞌinomal rech chikajil?
12 And if you have been unfaithful managers for another, who will give you anything to manage for yourselves?
Xuqujeꞌ we man sukꞌ ix noꞌjininaq rukꞌ ri man iwech taj ¿jachin ta kꞌu riꞌ ri kayoꞌw iwechabꞌal?
13 A servant can not serve two masters: for either he will hate one, and love the other; or, at least, will attend one, and neglect the other. You can not serve God and mammon.
Man kꞌo ta jun patanijel kakwinik kuꞌpatanij e kebꞌ upatrón. Karetzelaj uwach ri jun, xuqujeꞌ kuloqꞌaj uwach jun chik, o wine kupatanij riꞌ ri jun xa kꞌu karetzelaj uwach ri jun chik. Man yaꞌtal ta kꞌut kapatanix ri qꞌinomal xuqujeꞌ ri Dios.
14 When the Pharisees, who loved money, heard all these things, they ridiculed him.
Xkichapleꞌj uyoqꞌik ri Jesús ri fariseos, ri bꞌenaq kikꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ri pwaq are xkitatabꞌej ri xubꞌij.
15 But he said to them, As for you, you make yourselves pass upon men for righteous, but God knows your hearts; for that which is admired of men is abhorred of God.
Xubꞌij kꞌu ri Jesús chike: Kijaluj chi ix utz taq winaq, xa kꞌu retaꞌm ri iwanimaꞌ ri Dios. Naꞌtaj chiꞌwe karetzelaj ri Dios ri jastaq sibꞌalaj kakiya uqꞌij ri winaq.
16 You had the law and the prophets till the coming of John, since whose time, the kingdom of God is announced, and every occupant enters it by force.
Ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ ri kiwuj ri qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios xul utzijoxik kꞌa pa taq ri uqꞌij ri Juan. Che riꞌ xchapleꞌtaj loq utzijoxik ri utz laj taq tzij rech ri ajawarem rech ri Dios xuqujeꞌ che ri qꞌij xkichapleꞌj ri winaq ukojik kichuqꞌabꞌ koꞌk chilaꞌ.
17 But sooner shall heaven and earth perish, than one tittle of the law shall fail.
Are man kꞌax taj usachik uwach ri kaj xuqujeꞌ ri uwachulew cho ri kasach jun juchꞌ rech ri taqanik.
18 Whoever divorces his wife, and takes another, commits adultery; and whoever marries the divorced woman, commits adultery.
Xapachin ri kujach ri rixoqil, kakꞌuliꞌ chi kꞌu rukꞌ jun ixoq chik, kamakunik rumal kekꞌojiꞌ kebꞌ rixoqil. Xuqujeꞌ ri kakꞌuliꞌ rukꞌ ri ixoq ri jachtal kanoq rumal ri rachajil, kamakun xuqujeꞌ rumal kekꞌojiꞌ e kebꞌ rachajil.
19 There was a certain rich man, that wore purple and fine linen, and feasted splendidly every day.
Kꞌo jun qꞌinomalaj achi, kukoj jeꞌlalaj taq atzꞌyaq xuqujeꞌ ronojel qꞌij kubꞌan nimaqꞌij.
20 There was also a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, that was laid at his gate,
Chuchiꞌ kꞌu ri rachoch, katꞌuyiꞌ jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Lázaro, nojinaq ri utyoꞌjal che chꞌaꞌk xuqujeꞌ kuta ulimoxna.
21 and who was desirous to feed on the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
Ri mebꞌaꞌ kurayij utijik ri uxeꞌr taq jastaq ri katzaq chuxeꞌ ri umexa ri qꞌinom achi, xuqujeꞌ ri tzꞌiꞌ keqebꞌ churiqꞌik ri chꞌaꞌk ri kꞌo che.
22 It happened that the poor man died, and was conveyed by angels to Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried.
Jas ta waꞌ, xkꞌam bꞌi ri mebꞌaꞌ achi kumal e angelibꞌ rech keꞌkꞌol chuxukut ri Abraham. Ri qꞌinom achi xkam xuqujeꞌ xeꞌmuq kanoq.
23 And in hades, being in torments, he looked up, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)
Are kꞌo chi ri qꞌinom achi pa ri kikꞌolibꞌal ri kaminaqibꞌ jawjeꞌ ri kꞌo wi nimalaj kꞌaxkꞌolal, are kꞌo pa ri kꞌaxkꞌolal, xkaꞌy chikaj, xeꞌril apanoq ri Abraham rachiꞌl ri Lázaro naj e kꞌo wi apanoq che. (Hadēs g86)
24 and cried, saying, Have pity on me, father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tortured in this flame.
Xaq jeriꞌ xuchꞌabꞌej apanoq, xuraq uchiꞌ xubꞌij: “Tataxel Abraham, chel kuꞌx la chwe, taqa la loq ri Lázaro chumuꞌloq ri uwiꞌ uqꞌabꞌ pa joron, rech kuluya puꞌwiꞌ ri waqꞌ rumal cher tajin kinriq kꞌax pa we qꞌaqꞌ riꞌ.”
25 Abraham answered, Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received good things, and Lazarus received evil things; but now he is in joy, and you are in torments.
Ri Abraham kꞌut xubꞌij che: “Achi, naꞌtaj chawe chi are at kꞌaslik sibꞌalaj jeꞌl xabꞌan chi rikꞌowisaxik ronojel ri akꞌaslemal, are kꞌu we Lázaro sibꞌalaj kꞌax xuriqo. Chanim kꞌut areꞌ kukꞌamawaꞌj na ri kubꞌsabꞌal ukꞌuꞌx areꞌ, are kꞌu ri at chanaꞌ na ri kꞌaxkꞌolal.
26 Besides, there lies a huge gulf between us and you, so that they who would pass hence to you, can not: neither can they pass to us, who would come thence.
Xuqujeꞌ jun nimalaj siwan kꞌo chiqaxoꞌl, rumal riꞌ ri kekaj keqꞌax je laꞌ iwukꞌ man kekwin taj, xuqujeꞌ man kekwin taj keqꞌax loq jewaꞌ qukꞌ uj.”
27 The other replied, I entreat you, then, father, to send him to my father's house;
Ri qꞌinom xutzalij uwach ri xbꞌix che, xubꞌij: Tat, kinbꞌochiꞌj kuꞌx la, taqa la bꞌik ri Lázaro cho rachoch ri nutat,
28 for I have five brothers, that he may admonish them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
rech kuꞌbꞌij chike ri e jobꞌ wachalal, rech man kepe ta pa we kꞌaxalaj kꞌolibꞌal riꞌ.
29 Abraham answered, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
Xubꞌij kꞌu ri Abraham che: “Kꞌo kukꞌ aꞌreꞌ ri utzꞌibꞌam kan ri Moisés, xuqujeꞌ ri kitzꞌibꞌam kan ri e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios, are cheꞌkitatabꞌej ri aꞌreꞌ.”
30 Nay, said he, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they would reform.
Xubꞌij kꞌu ri qꞌinom: “Tat Abraham, man keꞌkitatabꞌej ta riꞌ, are kakitatabꞌej riꞌ xuqujeꞌ kakikꞌex kanimaꞌ we are kopan jun kaminaq chubꞌixik chike.”
31 Abraham replied, if they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should arise from the dead.
Xubꞌij ri Abraham che: “We man kakinimaj ri Moisés, we man keꞌkinimaj ri e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios, man kekojon ta wi riꞌ pune jun kaminaq kawaꞌjil bꞌik chubꞌixik chike.”
