< Luke 2 >
1 Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole empire should be enrolled.
Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ, xya jun taqanik rumal ri César Augusto rech konojel ri winaq kakitzꞌibꞌaj kibꞌ.
2 This was the first enrollment made when Qurinos was governor of Syria.
(Are waꞌ ri nabꞌe ajilanik ri xbꞌanik che riꞌ are qꞌatal tzij ri Cirenio pa ri tinimit Siria.)
3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
Konojel xetzalij pa taq ri kitinimit, rech kakitzꞌibꞌaj kibꞌ pa ri ajilanik.
4 Yauseph also went up from Galila, out of the city of Natsrath, into Yehuda, to the city of Dawid, which is called Beth-Lekhem, because he was of the house and family of Dawid;
Ri José xel bꞌik pa ri leꞌaj Nazaret, xeꞌ pa Galilea pa ri tinimit Belén ri kꞌo pa ri tinimit Judea, najtir ukꞌolibꞌal ri David.
5 to enroll himself with Maryam, who was pledged to be married to him, being pregnant.
Xukꞌam bꞌik ri rixoqil María rech kuꞌtzꞌibꞌaj ribꞌ, yawabꞌ ixoq chik.
6 It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.
Are kꞌo pa ri tinimit Belén, xopan ri qꞌij kalax ri neꞌ.
7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him with pieces of cloth, and placed him in a feeding trough, because there was no guest room available for them.
Xkꞌojiꞌ kꞌu ri nabꞌe ral ala ri María, xubꞌalqꞌotij kꞌut pa atzꞌyaq, xuqꞌoyobꞌa pa jun rechabꞌal awaj rumal cher man xkiriq ta chi jun kꞌolibꞌal jawjeꞌ kekanaj wi kanoq.
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
E kꞌo kꞌu aꞌjyuqꞌabꞌ cho taq ri saq che ri chaqꞌabꞌil riꞌ tajin keꞌkichajij ri kichij.
9 And look, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Xaq kꞌa teꞌ xukꞌut ribꞌ chikiwach jun ángel taqom loq rumal ri Ajawxel Dios. Ri ujuluwem ri Dios xsutin chikij. Ri aꞌjyuqꞌabꞌ xkixiꞌj kibꞌ.
10 The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for see, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
Ri ángel xubꞌij chike: Man kixiꞌj ta iwibꞌ, nukꞌamom loq utz laj tzij chiꞌwe, ri kuya na kiꞌkotemal chike konojel ri winaq.
11 For there is born to you, this day, in the city of Dawid, a Savior, who is Meshikha, the Lord.
Kamik xalax pa ri utinimit ri David jun Kolonel, are ri Mesías ri Ajawxel.
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough."
Ri retal chiꞌwe are chi: Kiriq na jun laj akꞌal, bꞌalqꞌotital pa atzꞌyaq, qꞌoyobꞌatal pa jun rechabꞌal awaj.
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying,
Xaq kꞌa te xepe sibꞌalaj e kꞌi angelibꞌ rukꞌ ri nabꞌe ángel, xkiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios, xkibꞌij:
14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward humankind."
¡Juluwem che ri Dios ri kꞌo pa ri kaj, jaꞌmaril kukꞌ ri winaq ri kuꞌloqꞌaj ri Dios, ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew!
15 And it happened that when the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us go to Beth-Lekhem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."
Are xetzalij ri angelibꞌ pa ri kaj, ri aꞌjyuqꞌabꞌ xkibꞌij chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: Joꞌ pa Belén, jeꞌqila ri xutzijoj ri Ajawxel chaqe.
16 They came with haste, and found both Maryam and Yauseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Aninaq xebꞌe pa ri leꞌaj, xeꞌkiriqa ri María, ri José xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌin laj akꞌal qꞌoyol pa ri rechabꞌal awaj.
17 When they saw it, they made known the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Are xiltaj kumal, ri aꞌjyuqꞌabꞌ xkitzijoj chike konojel ri winaq, ri xkilo xuqujeꞌ ri xubꞌij ri ángel chike.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Konojel ri winaq ri xetow ronojel ri xkitzijoj ri aꞌjyuqꞌabꞌ xemayijanik.
19 But Maryam kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Are kꞌu ri María xuyak pa ranimaꞌ ronojel we jastaq riꞌ, amaqꞌel xuchomaj rij.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
Ri aꞌjyuqꞌabꞌ xetzalij chuchajixik ri kichij, xkiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios rumal ri xkilo xuqujeꞌ xkito. Je xkꞌulmatajik jetaq ri xutzijoj ri ángel chike.
21 When eight days were fulfilled to circumcise him, his name was called Yeshua, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Are xikꞌow wajxaqibꞌ qꞌij, xkoj retal ri neꞌ, Jesús xkoj che ubꞌiꞌ. Are waꞌ ri ubꞌiꞌ ri xbꞌix rumal ri ángel are majaꞌ kalaxik.
22 When the days of their purification according to the Law of Mushe were fulfilled, they brought him up to Urishlim, to present him to the Lord
Xopan ri qꞌij ri katzuj ri sipanik rech chꞌajchꞌojil jetaq ri kutoqꞌij ri utaqanik ri Moisés, are kakꞌojiꞌ jun akꞌal, xaq jeriꞌ ri utat unan xkikꞌam bꞌik pa Jerusalén chutzujik cho ri Ajawxel.
23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb will be called holy to the Lord"),
Kubꞌij ri taqanik: We ala ri nabꞌyal ral ri ixoq, rajawaxik katzuj cho ri Dios e kebꞌ tukmux o jukꞌulaj palomax.
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the Law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."
Xaq jeriꞌ xkitzuj ri sipanik jetaq ri kubꞌij ri utaqanik ri Ajawxel, kebꞌ tukmux o jukꞌulaj palomax.
25 And look, there was a man in Urishlim whose name was Shimon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israyel, and the Rukha d'Qudsha was on him.
Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ, kꞌo jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Simeón pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, we achi riꞌ sukꞌ xuqujeꞌ utz ranimaꞌ rayeꞌm chi kulkubꞌisax ukꞌuꞌx ri tinimit Israel.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Rukha d'Qudsha that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Meshikha.
Kꞌuttal kꞌu choch chi man kakam taj we man nabꞌe karil kan uwach ri Mesías rech ri Ajawxel.
27 He came in the Rukha into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Yeshua, that they might do concerning him according to the requirement of the Law,
Che ri qꞌij riꞌ, xkꞌam bꞌik rumal ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel, xeꞌ pa ri Templo rech ri Dios. Xaq jeriꞌ are xopan ri María rachiꞌl ri José chutzujik ri neꞌ Jesús, jetaq ri kubꞌij ri utaqanik ri Ajawxel.
28 then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Ri Simeón kꞌo chilaꞌ, xuqꞌaluj ri akꞌal, xuqujeꞌ xuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios, xubꞌij:
29 "Now you are releasing your servant, Lord, according to your word, in peace;
Ajawxel, chanim ya bꞌa la bꞌe kakam we patanil e la pa jaꞌmaril jetaq ri bꞌim la loq.
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
Xinwil rukꞌ ri nubꞌoqꞌoch ri koltajem la.
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
Ri xtaq la loq chike konojel ri winaq.
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israyel."
Areꞌ ketunan na ri winaq rech kakil ri Dios, areꞌ ujuluwem ri tinimit Israel.
33 And his father and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him,
Ri utat unan ri Jesús sibꞌalaj xemayijanik che ri kabꞌix che ri Jesús.
34 and Shimon blessed them, and said to Maryam, his mother, "Look, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israyel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
Ri Simeón xuꞌtewechiꞌj, xubꞌij che ri María, ri unan: E kꞌi winaq aꞌj Israel ketzaq na rumal re we akꞌal riꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kuya na kiꞌkotem chike nikꞌaj chik. Kux xuqujeꞌ na jun etal rech tijoj chuqꞌabꞌ.
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
Rumal rech, kaqꞌalajin na ri chomabꞌal rech ri kanimaꞌ ri winaq, chawe at ri at unan, ronojel we jastaq riꞌ je ri kok na jun chꞌichꞌ che ri awanimaꞌ.
36 There was one Khana, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
Kꞌo xuqujeꞌ jun qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios, jun ixoq ubꞌiꞌ Ana ri kꞌo pa ri Templo rech ri Dios, umiꞌal ri Fanuel, rech ri jupuq winaq Aser. Wuqubꞌ junabꞌ e kꞌulanik xkam ri rachajil.
37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and petitions night and day.
Junmuchꞌ kajibꞌ ujunabꞌ, man kel ta wi pa ri Templo. Chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios, kubꞌan chꞌawem xuqujeꞌ man kawaꞌtaj.
38 Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Urishlim.
Ri ixoq xopanik are tajin katzijon ri Simeón rukꞌ ri María rachiꞌl ri José, xuchapleꞌj uqꞌijilaꞌxik ri Dios, xutzijoj rij ri akꞌal chike konojel ri kayeꞌm kakolotaj ri tinimit Jerusalén, rumal ri Dios.
39 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galila, to their own city, Natsrath.
Are xtzꞌaqat ubꞌanik ronojel ri kutoqꞌij ri utaqanik ri Ajawxel kumal ri utat unan ri Jesús, xetzalij cho kachoch je laꞌ pa Nazaret pa Galilea.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong, being filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.
Chilaꞌ xkꞌiy wi ri akꞌal, utz uwach xuqujeꞌ xkꞌojiꞌ uchuqꞌabꞌ. Sibꞌalaj xkꞌiy retaꞌmabꞌal, ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios kꞌo rukꞌ.
41 His parents went every year to Urishlim at the feast of the Passover.
Ronojel junabꞌ ri utat unan ri Jesús xebꞌe pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, pa ri nimaqꞌij Pascua.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the feast,
Are kabꞌlajuj ujunabꞌ ri Jesús, xebꞌe pa Jerusalén jetaq ri naqꞌatal chike.
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Yeshua stayed behind in Urishlim. His parents did not know it,
Are xkꞌis ri nimaqꞌij, xkichapleꞌj tzalijem loq pa ri tinimit Nazaret, ri utat unan ri Jesús man xkinabꞌej taj chi xkanaj kan ri Jesús pa Jerusalén.
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey, and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
Pa kikꞌuꞌx chi kꞌo chikixoꞌl ri nikꞌaj winaq chik. Are xuriq chaqꞌabꞌ, xkichapleꞌj utzukuxik chikixoꞌl ri e rech chꞌabꞌeꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri rachalal, man xkiriq ta kꞌut.
45 When they did not find him, they returned to Urishlim, looking for him.
Are man xkiriq taj, xetzalij pa ri tinimit Jerusalén chutzukuxik.
46 It happened after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions.
Oxibꞌ qꞌij chik ikꞌowinaq are xeꞌkiriqa ri Jesús kꞌo pa ri Templo, tꞌuyul chkixoꞌl ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik, tajin kuꞌtatabꞌej xuqujeꞌ tajin kukꞌot kichiꞌ.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Konojel ri tajin ketatabꞌenik xemayijan che ri retaꞌmabꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri tzalibꞌal wach ri xuya ri Jesús.
48 When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Look, your father and I were anxiously looking for you."
Are xkilo, xemayijanik ri unan xubꞌij che: Ala, ¿jas che je xabꞌan we riꞌ chaqe? In rachiꞌl ri atat tajin katqatzukuj pa ronojel kꞌolibꞌal.
49 He said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be doing the works of my Father?"
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: ¿Jas che kintzukuj alaq? ¿La man etaꞌm alaq chi pa rachoch ri nuTat rajawaxik kinkꞌojiꞌ wi?
50 They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Man xkichꞌobꞌ ta kꞌu ri utat unan jas che jewaꞌ xubꞌij.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Natsrath. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Xtzalij kꞌu kukꞌ ri utat unan pa ri tinimit Nazaret xuqujeꞌ xniman chike. Ri unan xukꞌol pa ranimaꞌ ronojel ri jastaq ri xkꞌulmatajik.
52 And Yeshua increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.
Xkꞌiy kꞌu ri Jesús, pa ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios, xkꞌojiꞌ retaꞌmabꞌal, xuqujeꞌ xqaj ri unoꞌjibꞌal chikiwach konojel ri winaq.
