< Luke 3 >

1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Pa ri roꞌlajuj junabꞌ rech ri utaqanik ri Tiberio César, che riꞌ are taqanel ri Poncio Pilato pa Judea. Ri Herodes are nim taqanel pa Galilea. Ri Felipe rachalal ri Herodes are qꞌatal tzij pa Iturea xuqujeꞌ pa Traconite. Ri Lisanias are qꞌatal tzij pa ri tinimit Abilinia.
2 in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
Ri Anás rachiꞌl ri Caifás are kinimaꞌqil ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel. Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ, ri utzij ri Dios xtaq che ri Juan ri ukꞌojol ri Zacarías, are kꞌo pa ri katzꞌinow ulew.
3 He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
Ri Juan xbꞌin chunaqaj ri nimaꞌ Jordán, xutzijoj chike ri winaq chi utz kabꞌan kiqasanaꞌ rech kakiqꞌalajisaj chi xkikꞌex kanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ ketzalij rukꞌ ri Dios, rech kakuyutaj ri kimak.
4 As it is written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.
Ri Isaías xutzijoj la rij ri Juan are xubꞌij: Uchꞌabꞌal jun winaq ri kuraq uchiꞌ pa ri katzꞌinow ulew, kubꞌij: Chisukꞌumaj ri ubꞌe ri Ajawxel, chibꞌana sukꞌum che.
5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.
Kenojisax na ri siwan, konojel ri juyubꞌ kuꞌx na leaꞌnik, ri kotokaꞌq taq bꞌe kesukꞌumax na xuqujeꞌ ri abꞌaj taq bꞌe kechꞌajchꞌobꞌex na.
6 And all humanity will see the salvation of God.'"
Konojel kakil na ri koltajem ri kutaq loq ri Dios.
7 He said therefore to the crowds who went out to be baptized by him, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Sibꞌalaj kꞌi winaq xoꞌpan rukꞌ ri Juan rech kubꞌan kiqasanaꞌ. Ri Juan xubꞌij chike: Kijaꞌl taq kumatz, ¿jachin xbꞌin chiꞌwe chi kixkwinik kixanimaj choch ri rayowal ri Dios ri kape na?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father;' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
Qas utz chixnoꞌjinoq rech qas kaqꞌalajinik chi qas xikꞌex ikꞌuꞌx. Man kixkwin ta kꞌut kibꞌij: “Are qatat ri Abraham.” Rumal kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri Dios kakwinik kubꞌano chi kekꞌiy ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Abraham chike we abꞌaj riꞌ.
9 Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire."
Ri ikaj xaq yaꞌtal chik rukꞌ ri ukꞌaꞌmalil ri cheꞌ. Ronojel kꞌu cheꞌ ri man kuya ta uwach kaqasax na, xuqujeꞌ kakꞌyaq na bꞌik pa ri qꞌaqꞌ.
10 The crowds asked him, "What then must we do?"
Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq xkibꞌij: ¿Jas rajawaxik kaqabꞌano?
11 He answered them, "He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise."
Ri Juan, xubꞌij chike: We kꞌo kebꞌ akamiꞌx, chaya jun rech ri maj rech. We kꞌo awa, chaya ke ri kanumik.
12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"
Xuqujeꞌ xoꞌpan ri toqꞌil taq alkabal rech kabꞌan kiqasanaꞌ, xkita che ri Juan: Ajtij, ¿jas rajawaxik kaqabꞌano?
13 He said to them, "Collect no more than that which is appointed to you."
Ri Juan xubꞌij chike: Man kitoqꞌij ta uwiꞌ ri alkabal ri ix taqom chutoqꞌixik.
14 Soldiers also asked him, saying, "What about us? What must we do?" He said to them, "Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages."
Ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit xkibꞌij: ¿Jas rajawaxik kaqabꞌan uj? Ri Juan xubꞌij chike: Man kitoqꞌij ta pwaq chike ri winaq, man kibꞌan ta bꞌanoj tzij chikij ri winaq ri maj kimak, kuꞌl ikꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ri tojbꞌal iwe.
15 As the people were in expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
Rumal kꞌu cher ri winaq kayeꞌm ri upetibꞌal ri Mesías are kakaj kaketaꞌmaj we are Mesías ri Juan.
16 John answered them all, "I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire,
Ri Juan xutzalij uwach ri kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ xubꞌij: In kinbꞌan iqasanaꞌ rukꞌ jaꞌ, kape kꞌu na jun ri nim reqeleꞌn chinuwach in, man taqal ta chwe kinux jun patanijel, xuqujeꞌ man taqal ta chwe kinkir ri jatꞌibꞌal rech ri uxajabꞌ. Areꞌ kubꞌan iqasanaꞌ rukꞌ ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ qꞌaqꞌ.
17 whose winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
Areꞌ xaq rayeꞌm kujosqꞌij ri tiriko, rukꞌ ri uchaꞌbꞌal. Xuqujeꞌ kumulij bꞌik ri utiriko, kuya pa ri utarroz. Kuporoj na ri pajo pa jun qꞌaqꞌ ri maj ukꞌisik.
18 Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
Sibꞌalaj kꞌi ri xubꞌan ri Juan chuqꞌalajisaxik chike ri winaq ri utz laj taq tzij.
19 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
Ri Juan xuqujeꞌ xuyaj ri Herodes Antipas chikiwach konojel ri winaq rumal xkꞌuliꞌk rukꞌ ri Herodías, rixoqil ri rachalal, je xuqujeꞌ rumal kꞌi itzel taq jastaq ri ubꞌanom,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
rumal riꞌ ri Herodes xukoj ri Juan pa cheꞌ, xnimar ri umak.
21 Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,
Jun qꞌijal, ri Juan are tajin kubꞌan kiqasanaꞌ e kꞌi winaq, xubꞌan uqasanaꞌ ri Jesús. Are tajin kubꞌan chꞌawem ri Jesús xjaqataj ri kaj.
22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."
Xilitaj kꞌut xqaj loq ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel puꞌwiꞌ ri Jesús jeꞌ jas jun palomax. Xtataj xuqujeꞌ jun chꞌabꞌal pa ri kaj ri kubꞌij: At at loqꞌalaj nukꞌojol, sibꞌalaj kaya kiꞌkotem chwe.
23 When he began, Jesus was about thirty years old, being the son, as was supposed, of Joseph, of Eli,
