< Luke 3 >

1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of 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 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, 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 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission 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 book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
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 shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall 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 flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Konojel kakil na ri koltajem ri kutaq loq ri Dios.
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
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 begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
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 And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast 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 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq xkibꞌij: ¿Jas rajawaxik kaqabꞌano?
11 He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath 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 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and 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 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Ri Juan xubꞌij chike: Man kitoqꞌij ta uwiꞌ ri alkabal ri ix taqom chutoqꞌixik.
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one falsely, and 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 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Rumal kꞌu cher ri winaq kayeꞌm ri upetibꞌal ri Mesías are kakaj kaketaꞌmaj we are Mesías ri Juan.
16 John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in 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 His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up 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 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings 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 on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds 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 And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven 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 upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee 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.
