Luke 8
1 Shortly afterwards, Jesus went on a journey through the towns and villages, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. With him went the Twelve,
Te kꞌu riꞌ, ri Jesús e rachiꞌl ri e kabꞌlajuj utijoxelabꞌ, xutzijoj ri utz laj taq tzij rech ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, pa taq ri tinimit xuqujeꞌ ri leꞌaj.
2 as well as some women who had been cured of wicked spirits and of infirmities. They were Mary, known as Mary of Magdala (from whom seven demons had been expelled),
E rachiꞌl xuqujeꞌ jujun ixoqibꞌ ri xesax itzel taq uxlabꞌal chike, ri María ri kabꞌix Magdalena che, ri xesax wuqubꞌ itzel taq uxlabꞌal che,
3 and Joanna (the wife of Herod’s steward, Chuza), and Susannah, and many others – all of whom provided for Jesus and his apostles out of their own resources.
ri Juana rixoqil ri Cuza, ri kabꞌan rech puꞌwiꞌ ri ujastaq ri Herodes, ri Susana xuqujeꞌ e kꞌi ixoqibꞌ ri xkiya ri kirajil chutoꞌik ri Jesús.
4 Once, when a great crowd was collecting, and, when the people of town after town were flocking to Jesus, he spoke to them in the form of a parable,
Jaljoj taq tinimit xepe wi ri winaq xulkila ri Jesús. Are xkimulij kibꞌ kꞌi winaq, ri Jesús xutzijoj we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ chike:
5 ‘The sower went out to sow his seed; and, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path and was trodden on; and the wild birds ate it up.
Jun ajtikolobꞌ xeꞌ pa tikoꞌnijik. Are xukꞌyaq ri ijaꞌ, kꞌo xqaj chuxukut ri bꞌe, xtakꞌaleꞌxik xuqujeꞌ xkitij ri chochiꞌ.
6 Other seed fell on rock, and, as soon as it began to grow, because it had no moisture, it withered away.
Xqaj kꞌu nikꞌaj puꞌwiꞌ ri abꞌaj, are xkꞌiy loq, ri tikoꞌn xbꞌachꞌuꞌyarik rumal maj rax ulew xuriqo.
7 Other seed fell in the middle of brambles, but the brambles grew up with it and choked it entirely.
Nikꞌaj chik xqaj chikixoꞌl ri kꞌix, are xkꞌiy loq, xjiqꞌ chuxoꞌl ri kꞌix.
8 Other seed fell into rich soil, and grew, and gave a hundredfold return.’ After saying this, Jesus cried aloud, ‘Let those who have ears to hear with hear.’
Xqaj kꞌu nikꞌaj pa utz laj ulew, xeꞌl kꞌu loq, xekꞌiyik. Xkiya jujun ciento uwach chkijujunal. Are xtoꞌtaj chubꞌixik we jastaq riꞌ, xubꞌij: Ri kꞌo uxikin chutatabꞌexik, chutatabꞌej.
9 His disciples asked Jesus the meaning of this parable.
Ri utijoxelabꞌ xkita che ri Jesús jas kel kubꞌij waꞌ we kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ.
10 ‘To you,’ he said, ‘the knowledge of the hidden truths of the kingdom of God has been imparted, but to others in parables only, so that though they have eyes they may not see, and though they have ears, they may not understand.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Yaꞌtal chiꞌwe ix kiwetaꞌmaj ri awatalik che ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, chike kꞌu nikꞌaj winaq chik, rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj kechꞌabꞌexik rech: Pune kekaꞌyik man kakil taj, pune kakito man kakichꞌobꞌ taj.
11 This is the parable – The seed is God’s message.
Are waꞌ ri kel kubꞌij ri xintzijoj chiꞌwe: Ri ijaꞌ are ri utzij ri Dios.
12 By the seed which fell along the path are meant those who hear the message; but then comes the devil and carries away the message from their minds, to prevent their believing it and being saved.
Ri e kꞌo chuxukut ri bꞌe, are ri winaq ri kakitatabꞌej ri utzij ri Dios, ri itzel kꞌut kapetik, karesaj bꞌik ri tzij pa kanimaꞌ rech man kekojon taj xuqujeꞌ man kekolotaj taj.
13 By the seed which fell on the rock are meant those who, as soon as they hear the message, welcome it joyfully; but they have no root, and believe it only for a time, and, when the time of temptation comes, they draw back.
Ri e kꞌo puꞌwiꞌ ri abꞌaj are ri winaq ri kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri tzij rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal are kakitatabꞌej, maj kꞌu kikꞌaꞌmalil, jubꞌiqꞌ qꞌotaj kakikoj ri tzij, kꞌa te riꞌ keꞌl kanoq are kopan ri kꞌaxkꞌolal.
14 By that which fell among the brambles are meant those who hear the message, but who, as they go on their way, are completely choked by this world’s cares and wealth and pleasures, and bring nothing to perfection.
Ri ijaꞌ ri xqaj pa taq ri kꞌix, are ri winaq ri kakito, are kꞌu keꞌ ri junabꞌ kejiqꞌ kan rumal taq ri rajawaxik, ri qꞌinomal, xuqujeꞌ ri jastaq rech ri uwachulew, man kewachin ta kꞌut.
15 But by that in the good ground are meant those who, having heard the message, keep it in the good, rich soil of their hearts, and patiently yield a return.
Are kꞌu ri ijaꞌ ri xqaj pa utz laj ulew are ri winaq ri kakitatabꞌej ri tzij rukꞌ ronojel kanimaꞌ, kakiyak ri tzij pa kanimaꞌ, amaqꞌel kewachinik rumal cher amaqꞌel kakichakuj ri utzij ri Dios.
16 ‘No one sets light to a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or puts it underneath a couch, but they put it on a lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
Maj jun winaq riꞌ ri kutzij jun qꞌaqꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ kuchꞌuq rukꞌ jun laq. Xane kutzij jun qꞌaqꞌ rech kuya chikaj rech kꞌo kiqꞌaqꞌ ri kok bꞌik pa ri ja.
17 Nothing is hidden which will not be brought into the light of day, not ever kept hidden which will not some day become known and come into the light of day.
Maj jun jastaq ri awatalik ri mat kariqitaj na, xuqujeꞌ maj jun ri awatalik ri mat ketaꞌmataj na kumal konojel ri winaq.
18 Take care, then, how you listen. For, to all those who have, more will be given; while, from all those who have nothing, even what they seem to have will be taken away.’
Xaq jeriꞌ chitatabꞌej we riꞌ, ri kꞌo, kꞌo rukꞌ, kꞌo kayaꞌtaj na che, ri maj kꞌo rukꞌ, pune kubꞌij chi rech jun jastaq, kesataj na che.
19 Presently Jesus’ mother and brothers came where he was, but they were not able to join him because of the crowd.
Xopan kꞌu ri unan ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ ri e rachalal chi rilik. Sibꞌalaj kꞌi winaq kꞌut e kꞌo pa ri ja e sutininaq chirij ri Jesús, man kekwin taj keqet rukꞌ.
20 So word was brought to him – “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
Xkibꞌij che ri Jesús: Ri anan xuqujeꞌ ri awachalal kakaj katkilo, e kꞌo cho le ja.
21 His reply, spoken to them all, was, ‘My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God’s teaching and do what it says.’
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Are e nunan xuqujeꞌ e wachalal, ri winaq ri kakitatabꞌej ri utzij ri Dios xuqujeꞌ kakichakubꞌej.
22 One day about that time, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, ‘Let us go across the lake.’
Jun qꞌijal xaqꞌan ri Jesús pa jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ jaꞌ, xubꞌij chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: Chujqꞌax chꞌaqaꞌp rech le plo.
23 So they put off. While they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A squall swept down on the lake, and their boat was filling and they were in danger.
Are e bꞌenaq puꞌwiꞌ ri plo, xwar ri Jesús, xpe kꞌu jun nimalaj kyaqiqꞌ puꞌwiꞌ ri plo, xuchapleꞌj okem ri jaꞌ pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal, xuchapleꞌj qajem chuxeꞌ ri jaꞌ, sibꞌalaj xibꞌibꞌal.
24 So the disciples came and roused him. ‘Sir, Sir,’ they cried, ‘we are lost!’ Jesus rose and rebuked the wind and the rushing waves, and they fell, and a calm followed.
Ri tijoxelabꞌ xebꞌe chukꞌasuxik, xkiraq kichiꞌ xkibꞌij: Ajtij, ajtij, kujjiqꞌik. Xwaꞌjil ri Jesús, xuyaj ri kyaqiqꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri jaꞌ, ri kyaqiqꞌ xtaniꞌk, ronojel xjoriꞌk.
25 ‘Where is your faith?’ he exclaimed. But in great awe and amazement they said to one another, ‘Who can this be, who commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey him?’
Xubꞌij kꞌu chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: ¿Jawjeꞌ kꞌo wiꞌ ri ikojobꞌal? Ri tijoxelabꞌ xemayijanik xuqujeꞌ xkixiꞌj kibꞌ kakitatabꞌela chibꞌil taq kibꞌ. ¿Jachin waꞌ we achi riꞌ cher kataqan puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri kyaqiqꞌ keniman che?
26 They reached the region of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite side to Galilee,
Xoꞌpan pa ri tinimit Gadara, ri kꞌo apanoq cho ri Galilea chuchiꞌ ri plo.
27 and, on getting ashore, Jesus met a man, who had demons in him, coming out of the town. For a long time this man had worn no clothing, and he had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.
Ri Jesús are xqaj pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ jaꞌ, xuriq jun achi ri kꞌo jun itzel uxlabꞌal che upetik pa ri tinimit, we achi riꞌ najtir chik man kukoj ta ratzꞌyaq, xuqujeꞌ man kakꞌojiꞌ ta cho rachoch, xane pa taq ri muqbꞌal kaminaq kakꞌojiꞌ wi.
28 Catching sight of Jesus, he shrieked out and threw himself down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed, ‘What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torment me.’
We achi riꞌ are xril ri Jesús, xuraq uchiꞌ, xukulik xqaj choch, rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ xubꞌij: ¿Jas kaj la chwe, Jesús ralkꞌwaꞌl ri nimalaj Dios? Kinta toqꞌobꞌ che la man kabꞌan ta la kꞌax chwe.
29 For Jesus was commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. On many occasions it had seized him, and, even when secured with chains and fetters, and watched, he would break through anything that bound him, and be driven by the demon into the wilds.
Jewaꞌ xubꞌij rumal cher ri Jesús xtaqanik rech ri itzel Uxlabꞌal kel bꞌik che ri achi. Kꞌi chi mul ubꞌanom rech che ri achi, pune kajatꞌix ri raqan rachiꞌl ri uqꞌabꞌ rukꞌ chꞌichꞌ jatꞌibꞌal xuqujeꞌ kachajixik, kutꞌoqopij kan ri chꞌichꞌ jatꞌibꞌal, ri itzel uxlabꞌal kujururej bꞌik pa taq ri kꞌolibꞌal ri katzꞌinowik.
30 ‘What is your name?’ Jesus asked. ‘Legion,’ he answered (for many demons had taken possession of him);
Ri Jesús xuta che: ¿Jas ri abꞌiꞌ? Legión nubꞌiꞌ, xchaꞌ. Jewaꞌ xubꞌij rumal cher sibꞌalaj e kꞌi ri itzel taq uxlabꞌal oꞌkinaq che.
Ri itzel taq uxlabꞌal xkibꞌochiꞌj ri Jesús rech ketaq bꞌik pa ri qꞌequꞌmal. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a herd of many pigs close by feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Jesus to give them leave to enter into them. Jesus gave them leave.
Xkita toqꞌobꞌ che ri Jesús rech kuya bꞌe chike kok chike ri nikꞌaj aq ri tajin keyuqꞌux puꞌwiꞌ ri juyubꞌ. Ri Jesús xuya bꞌe chike.
33 They came out from the man and took possession of the pigs; and the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
Are xel bꞌik ri itzel taq uxlabꞌal che ri achi, xoꞌk chike ri aq, konojel ri aq xebꞌe pa ri plo, xejiqꞌik.
34 When the men who tended them saw what had happened, they ran away, and carried the news to the town, and to the country round.
Are xkil ri aꞌjyuqꞌabꞌ ri xbꞌantajik, xaꞌnimajik, xkiya utzijoxik ri xkꞌulmatajik chike ri winaq pa ri tinimit, xuqujeꞌ pa taq ri leꞌaj.
35 The people went out to see what had happened, and, when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at Jesus’ feet; and they were awe-struck.
Xeꞌl kꞌu bꞌik konojel ri winaq chi rilik ri xbꞌantajik, xeꞌkiriqa ri achi ri xel itzel uxlabꞌal che, tꞌuyul rukꞌ ri Jesús, are xkilo chi utz uwach, xuqujeꞌ ukojom chi ratzꞌyaq xkixiꞌj kibꞌ che.
36 Those who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been delivered.
Konojel ri winaq ri xkil ri xkꞌulmatajik xkitzijoj chike ri winaq jas jeꞌ xbꞌan chukunaxik ri achi.
37 Then all the people in the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, for they were terrified. Jesus got into a boat and returned.
Xepe kꞌu ri winaq rech ri tinimit Gadara, xkibꞌochiꞌj ri Jesús, rech kel bꞌik pa ri tinimit, rumal cher sibꞌalaj xkixiꞌj kibꞌ. Ri Jesús xaqꞌan bꞌik pa jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal xel bꞌik pa ri tinimit.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus to let him be with him; but Jesus sent him away.
Ri achi ri xel itzel uxlabꞌal che are xraj xutereneꞌj ri Jesús. Ri Jesús xubꞌij che:
39 ‘Go back to your home,’ he said, ‘and relate the story of all that God has done for you.’ So the man went through the whole town and proclaimed, as he went, all that Jesus had done for him.
Chattzalij cho awachoch, chatzijoj ronojel ri nimaq taq jastaq ri xubꞌan ri Dios awukꞌ. Xtzalij kꞌu ri achi pa ri utinimit, xutzijoj ronojel ri xubꞌan ri Jesús rukꞌ.
40 On his return, Jesus was welcomed by the people; for everyone was looking out for him.
Are xtzalij ri Jesús pa Galilea ri winaq ri aꞌyeninaq apanoq xekiꞌkotik are xkil uwach.
41 And a man named Jairus, who was a synagogue leader, came to Jesus, and threw himself at Jesus’ feet, with entreaties that he would come to his house,
Xopan kꞌu jun achi rukꞌ ri Jesús, ubꞌiꞌ Jairo, jun kꞌamal bꞌe pa ri Sinagoga, xukulik xqaj cho ri Jesús, xuta toqꞌobꞌ che rech keꞌ rukꞌ cho ri rachoch.
42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus was going, the people were pressing closely round him.
Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Jairo xa jun umiꞌal kꞌolik, kabꞌlajuj ujunabꞌ raj kꞌu kakamik, ri Jesús kꞌut xeꞌ rukꞌ ri Jairo, are kꞌu ri winaq sibꞌalaj e kꞌi, kakipuyila ri Jesús.
43 And a woman, who had suffered from haemorrhage for twelve years, and whom no one could cure,
Kꞌo kꞌu jun ixoq chikixoꞌl ri winaq, kabꞌlajuj junabꞌ xaq katuruw ukikꞌel, maj jun ajkun kwininaq chukunaxik.
44 came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak. Instantly the haemorrhage ceased.
Ri ixoq xqebꞌ chrij ri Jesús, xuchap ri uchiꞌ ri umanta, aninaq xtaniꞌ ri kikꞌ che.
45 ‘Who touched me?’ Jesus asked; and, while everyone was denying having done so, Peter exclaimed, ‘Why, Sir, the people are crowding round you and pressing against you!’
Ri Jesús xuta chike ri winaq: ¿Jachin xinchapowik? Rumal kꞌu cher kojonel ri winaq xkibꞌij chi man aꞌreꞌ taj xechapow ri Jesús, ri Pedro xubꞌij che: Ajtij e sibꞌalaj kꞌi winaq kakipaqchiꞌj la xuqujeꞌ kakipuyij la.
46 ‘Somebody touched me,’ said Jesus, ‘for I felt that power had gone out from me.’
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Kꞌo jun winaq ri xinchapowik. Xinnaꞌo kꞌo chuqꞌabꞌ xel bꞌik chwe.
47 Then the woman, when she saw that she was discovered, came forward trembling, and threw herself down before him; and, in the presence of all the people, she told him her reason for touching him, and that she had been cured instantly.
Are xril ri ixoq chi xnabꞌetaj ri xubꞌano, kabꞌiribꞌatik, xukulik xqaj cho ri Jesús, chkiwach konojel ri winaq xutzijoj jas rumal xuchap ri manta, xuqujeꞌ chi aninaq xutzirik.
48 ‘Daughter,’ he said, ‘your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you.’
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Numiꞌal, ri akojobꞌal xatukunaj, jat pa jaꞌmaril.
49 Before he had finished speaking, someone came from the house of the synagogue leader and said, ‘Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the teacher further.’
Tajin katzijon na ri Jesús, are xopan jun uꞌtaqoꞌn ri kꞌamal bꞌe rech ri Sinagoga, xuꞌbꞌij che: Man kaya ta chi latzꞌ che ri ajtij, xkam ri amiꞌal.
50 But Jesus, hearing this, spoke to the leader, ‘Do not be afraid; only have faith, and she will yet be delivered.’
Are xuta ri Jesús, xubꞌij che ri Jairo: Man kaxiꞌj ta awibꞌ, we kakojo chi kakunataj ri amiꞌal, kakunatajik.
51 When he reached the house, he did not allow anyone to go in with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother.
Are xopan ri Jesús cho rachoch ri Jairo, man xuya ta bꞌe xok japachinaq rukꞌ, xwi ri Pedro, Juan xuqujeꞌ ri Jacobo, xuqujeꞌ ri utat unan ri ali.
52 And everyone was weeping and mourning for her. ‘Do not weep,’ Jesus said, ‘she is not dead; she is asleep.’
Ri winaq ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ, kakibꞌisoj xuqujeꞌ kakoqꞌej ri ali. Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike, man kixoqꞌ ta chik, ri ali xaq kawarik, man kaminaq taj.
53 They began to laugh at him, for they knew that she was dead.
Ri winaq are xkita we riꞌ xkichapleꞌj uyoqꞌik ri Jesús rumal cher ketaꞌm chi kaminaq chik ri ali.
54 But, taking her by the hand, Jesus said in a loud voice, ‘Child, rise!’
Ri Jesús xuchap ri uqꞌabꞌ ri ali, xubꞌij che: Chatwaꞌjiloq ali.
55 The child’s spirit returned to her, and she instantly stood up; and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat.
Ri ali aninaq xwaꞌjilik, xtzalij loq ri ranimaꞌ. Ri Jesús kꞌut xtaqan chuyaꞌik uwa ri ali.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus impressed on them that they were not to tell anyone what had happened.
Sibꞌalaj xemayijan ri utat unan ri ali. Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike chi man kakitzijoj ri xkꞌulmatajik che jun chik.
