Mark 12
1 Jesus began to speak to them in parables, “A man once planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a wine-press, built a tower, and then let it out to tenants and went abroad.
Ri Jesús xuchapleꞌj tzijonem kukꞌ ri winaq rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj, xubꞌij: Kꞌo jun achi xutik nikꞌaj uvas. Xukoralij rij, xukꞌot jun nimalaj pichꞌbꞌal uvas, kꞌa te riꞌ xuyak jun nimalaj ja jawjeꞌ kakꞌojiꞌ wi ri chajinel. Xuya pa qajik chike e nikꞌaj ajchakibꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌ pa jun utaqkil.
2 At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants, to receive from them a share of the produce of the grape harvest;
Are xopan ri qꞌij rech yakoj, xutaq bꞌik jun rajchak kukꞌ ri ajchakibꞌ chutoqꞌixik nikꞌaj rech ri yakoj.
3 but they seized him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
Ri ajchakibꞌ xkichap ri taqoꞌn, xkichꞌayo, maj xkiya bꞌik che, xkitaq bꞌik cho ja.
4 A second time the owner sent a servant to them; this man, too, the tenants struck on the head, and insulted.
Ri ajchoqꞌe ri ulew xutaq chi bꞌik jun rajchak. Ri ajchakibꞌ xkibꞌan kꞌax che xkiya pa ukꞌixibꞌal xuqujeꞌ xkiraqij loq ri ujolom.
5 He sent another, but him they killed; and so with many others – some they beat and some they killed.
Xutaq chi kꞌu bꞌi jun ajchak, ri ajchakibꞌ kꞌut xkikamisaj loq we ajchak riꞌ. E kꞌi xuꞌtaq chi na bꞌik, e kꞌo xechꞌay loq chike, nikꞌaj chik xekamisax loq.
6 He had still one son, who was very dear to him; and him he sent to them last of all. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
Kꞌisbꞌal rech, ri ajchoqꞌe ri ulew xutaq bꞌik ri xa jun ukꞌojol ri sibꞌalaj kuloqꞌaj, xubꞌij: “Kakinimaj waꞌ we nukꞌojol.”
7 But those tenants said to one another ‘Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and his inheritance will be ours.’
Ri ajchakibꞌ are xkil ri ukꞌojol ri ajchoqꞌe ri ulew xkibꞌij chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: “Are waꞌ ri kechꞌabꞌen kanoq ri ulew, qakamisaj, rech kaqechabej kanoq ri ulew.”
8 So they seized him, and killed him, and threw his body outside the vineyard.
Are xopanik ri kꞌojolaxel, xkichapo, xkikamisaj, xkesaj bꞌik pa ri ulew.
9 What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and put the tenants to death, and he will let the vineyard to others.
¿Jas kꞌu kubꞌan riꞌ ri ajchoqꞌe ri ulew are katzalij loq? Kuꞌkamisaj na ri ajchakibꞌ xuqujeꞌ kuya na ri ulew tikbꞌal uvas chike nikꞌaj chik.
10 “Have you never read this passage of scripture? – ‘The stone which the builders despised has now itself become the cornerstone;
¿La man isikꞌim ri tzꞌibꞌatalik ri kubꞌij? Ri abꞌaj ri xketzelaj ri e yakol taq jaꞌ xuxik ri abꞌaj ri qas kꞌo kutayij.
11 this cornerstone has come from the Lord, and is marvelous in our eyes.’”
Are waꞌ ri uchak ri Ajawxel, ri kuyak qamayijanik.
12 After this his enemies were eager to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd; for they saw that it was at them that he had aimed the parable. So they left him alone, and went away.
Ri kinimaꞌqil ri winaq aꞌj Israel are xkichꞌobꞌo chi are katzijox kij pa ri kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj, xkaj xkichap ri Jesús. Man xkibꞌan ta kꞌut rumal cher kakixiꞌj kibꞌ chikiwach ri e winaq, jeriꞌ xkitzaq kanoq xebꞌek.
13 Afterward they sent to Jesus some of the Pharisees and Herodians, to set a trap for him in the course of conversation.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkitaq bꞌik e jujun fariseos e kachiꞌl e jujun herodianos rukꞌ ri Jesús rech kakikoj jun kꞌaꞌmabꞌal che rukꞌ ri tzij ri tajin kubꞌij.
14 These men came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are an honest man, and are not afraid of anyone, for you pay no regard to a person’s position, but teach the way of God honestly; are we right in paying taxes to the Emperor, or not?
Are xoꞌpanik xkibꞌij che: Ajtij, qetaꞌm chi lal jun tzꞌaqat achi. Man kaya ta la bꞌe chi jun winaq chik kabꞌin che la ri rajawaxik kabꞌan la, rumal man are ta kil la ri kekaꞌy ri winaq. Xane qas are kakꞌut la ri utz laj bꞌe ri keꞌ rukꞌ ri Dios, bꞌij la chaqe ¿la yaꞌtalik katoj che ri César ri alkabal o man yaꞌtal taj?
15 Should we pay, or should we not pay?” Knowing their hypocrisy, Jesus said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a coin to look at.”
¿La choqꞌaqꞌ kaqatojo o man choqꞌaqꞌ taj? Ri Jesús retaꞌm jas che tajin kakibꞌij che we riꞌ, xubꞌij chike: ¿Jas che kikoj kꞌaꞌmabꞌal pa chwe? Chikꞌama loq jun pwaq rech Roma, rech kaqilo.
16 And, when they had brought it, he asked, “Whose head and title are these?” “The Emperor’s,” they said;
Xkikꞌam bꞌik ri pwaq choch ri Jesús, xubꞌij chike: ¿Jachin ajchoqꞌe we tzꞌibꞌ riꞌ le kꞌo choch xuqujeꞌ le palajaj? Rech ri César, xecha ri winaq.
17 and Jesus replied, “Pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.” And they were amazed at him.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Chiya che ri César ri rech ri César, xuqujeꞌ chiya che ri Dios ri rech ri Dios. Konojel ri winaq xemayijanik che ri xubꞌij ri Jesús.
18 Next came some Sadducees – the men who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this –
Are kꞌu ri saduceos ri man kakikoj taj chi kꞌo kꞌastajibꞌal wach xoꞌpan rukꞌ ri Jesús, xeꞌkibꞌij che:
19 “Teacher, in our scriptures Moses decreed that, should a man’s brother die, leaving a widow but no child, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.
Ajtij, ri Moisés xukꞌut chiqawach pa ri wuj ri xutzꞌibꞌaj chi are kakam jun achi xuqujeꞌ kakanaj kanoq ri rixoqil maj ral. Choqꞌaqꞌ wi ri rachalal ri achi ri xkamik, kakꞌuliꞌk rukꞌ ri ixoq ri xkanaj kanoq rech kekꞌojiꞌk rijaꞌl ri rachalal ri xkamik.
20 There were once seven brothers. The eldest married, but died and left no family;
E kꞌo kꞌu wuqubꞌ alaxik. Ri nabꞌe xkꞌuliꞌk, maj e ralkꞌwaꞌl xekanaj kanoq are xkamik.
21 and the second married his widow, and died without family; and so did the third.
Ri ukabꞌ xkꞌuliꞌk rukꞌ ri malkaꞌn ixoq, xkam xuqujeꞌ bꞌik maj e ralkꞌwaꞌl xekanaj kanoq, je xubꞌan xuqujeꞌ ri urox.
22 All the seven died and left no family. The woman herself died last of all.
Je xkꞌulmataj kukꞌ konojel kꞌa xkam na bꞌik ri kꞌisbꞌal chike ri wuqubꞌ, kꞌisbꞌal rech, xkam xuqujeꞌ bꞌik ri ixoq.
23 At the resurrection whose wife will she be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”
Pa ri kꞌastajibꞌal wach, ¿jachin chike ri achyabꞌ qas rachajil ri ixoq, rumal konojel xekꞌuliꞌ rukꞌ?
24 “Is not the reason of your mistake,” answered Jesus, “your ignorance of the scriptures and of the power of God?
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri ix, ix sachinaq, xa man iwetaꞌm ta riꞌ ri tzꞌibꞌatalik xuqujeꞌ man iwetaꞌm taj ri utzij ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri ukwinem.
25 When people rise from the dead, there is no marrying or being married; but they are as angels in heaven.
Are kekꞌastaj ri kaminaqibꞌ, man kekꞌuliꞌ taj xuqujeꞌ man keya taj pa kꞌulanem, xane je kuꞌx ri angelibꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri kaj.
26 “As to the dead, and the fact that they rise, have you never read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God spoke to him saying – ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
Are kꞌu ri kꞌastajibꞌal wach kech ri kaminaqibꞌ, ¿la man isikꞌim ri uwuj ri Moisés, jawjeꞌ ri kutzijoj wi rij ri kꞌix, ri Dios xubꞌij che: In in uDios ri Abraham, ri Isaac, xuqujeꞌ ri Jacob?
27 He is not God of dead people, but of living. You are greatly mistaken.”
Ri Dios man kiDios ta kaminaqibꞌ xane kiDios e kꞌaslik winaq. Ri ix sibꞌalaj ix sachinaq.
28 Then came up one of the teachers of the Law who had heard their discussions. Knowing that Jesus had answered them wisely, he asked him this question, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”
Jun chike ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xqebꞌ rukꞌ ri Jesús, are xuto tajin ketzijonik xuqujeꞌ xuta ri xubꞌij ri Jesús, xuta che: ¿Jachin chike ri taqanik ri nim uqꞌij chike konojel?
29 “The most important,” answered Jesus, “is – ‘Hear, Israel; the Lord our God is the one Lord;
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Ri nim taqanik chike konojel are we jun riꞌ: Winaq aꞌj Israel, chitatabꞌej chi ri Dios are xa jun Ajawxel.
30 and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
Chaloqꞌaj ri awAjaw Dios rukꞌ ronojel awanimaꞌ, rukꞌ ronojel akꞌuꞌx, xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ronojel achuqꞌabꞌ. Are wa riꞌ taqanik ri sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij chike konojel.
31 The second is this – ‘You must love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Ri ukabꞌ taqanik are we jun riꞌ: Chaloqꞌaj ri ajil tzꞌaqat, jetaq ri kabꞌan chuloqꞌaxik awibꞌ at.
32 “Wisely answered, teacher!” exclaimed the teacher of the Law. “It is true, as you say, that there is one God, and that there is no other besides him;
Utz ri xbꞌan la chubꞌixik, ri achi xubꞌij: Ajtij, qas tzij ri xbꞌij la, ri Dios xa jun, man kꞌo ta chi jun Dios xaq xwi ri areꞌ.
33 and to love him with all one’s heart, and with all one’s understanding, and with all one’s strength, and to love one’s neighbor as one loves oneself is far beyond all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
Uloqꞌaxik ri Dios rukꞌ ronojel animaꞌaj, rukꞌ ronojel kuꞌx xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ronojel chuqꞌabꞌ. Xuqujeꞌ uloqꞌaxik ri kꞌulja jetaq kubꞌan chuloqꞌaxik ribꞌ jun, kꞌo na choch ri utzujik poron sipanik xuqujeꞌ ri utzujik ri kaminaq taq awaj choch ri Dios.
34 Seeing that he had answered with discernment, Jesus said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that no one ventured to question him further.
Ri Jesús are xrilo chi ri achi xutzalij uwach ri xubꞌij ri Jesús rukꞌ etaꞌmanik xubꞌij che: Naqaj at kꞌo wi che ri ajawarem rech ri Dios. Kꞌa te riꞌ man kꞌo ta chik jun winaq xubꞌij jun jastaq che ri Jesús.
35 While Jesus was teaching in the Temple Courts, he asked, “How is it that the teachers of the Law say that the Christ is to be David’s son?
Are tajin kuya kꞌutuꞌn ri Jesús pa ri Templo, xubꞌij chike ri winaq: ¿Jas che kakibꞌij ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik chi ri Cristo ukꞌojol ri David?
36 David said himself, speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit – ‘The Lord said to my lord: Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies beneath your feet.’
Ri David nojinaq che ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel che are xubꞌij: Ri Ajawxel xubꞌij che ri wAjaw: Chattꞌuyul pa ri nuwiqiqꞌabꞌ, kꞌa kinya na pa awaqan konojel ri akꞌulel.
37 David himself calls him ‘lord,’ how comes it, then, that he is to be his son?” The mass of the people listened to Jesus with delight.
Ri David we kubꞌij Ajawxel che ri Cristo, ¿jas ta kꞌu che riꞌ ukꞌojol? Ri winaq sibꞌalaj utz xkibꞌan chutatabꞌexik ri xubꞌij ri Jesús.
38 In the course of his teaching, Jesus said, “See that you are on your guard against the teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and to be greeted in the streets with respect,
Ri Jesús pa ri ukꞌutuꞌn xubꞌij: Chichajij iwibꞌ chike ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik. Utz kakinaꞌo kewaꞌkat pa taq ri kꞌayibꞌal kikojom ri katzꞌyaq ri karepqꞌunik, xuqujeꞌ utz kakinaꞌo kaya rutzil kiwach.
39 and to have the best seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at dinner.
Utz kakinaꞌo ketꞌuyiꞌk pa taq ri nabꞌe taq tꞌuyulibꞌal pa ri Sinagoga, xuqujeꞌ are kakichaꞌ ri tꞌuyulibꞌal ri nim ubꞌantajik pa taq ri nimaqꞌij ri kesikꞌix wi.
40 They are the men who rob widows of their homes, and make a pretense of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier.”
Kakimaj ri kijastaq ri e malkaꞌnibꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ kakibꞌan chꞌawem rech ketataj kumal nikꞌaj winaq chik. Nimalaj ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri kape pa kiwiꞌ we achyabꞌ riꞌ kꞌo na chikiwach nikꞌaj chik.
41 Then Jesus sat down opposite the chests for the Temple offerings, and watched how the people put money into them. Many rich people were putting in large sums;
Ri Jesús xtꞌuyiꞌk chunaqaj ri kꞌolibꞌal rech ri sipanik, xuchapleꞌj kikaꞌyexik ri winaq are kakiya ri kisipanik pa ri kꞌolibꞌal rech, ri kꞌo pa ri Templo. Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi qꞌinomabꞌ xkiya nimaꞌq taq pwaq.
42 but one poor widow came and put in two small coins, worth very little.
Xopan kꞌut jun malkaꞌn ixoq, xuꞌya kanoq kebꞌ qꞌana taq pwaq ri man nim taj kilitajik.
43 Then, calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than all the others who were putting money into the chests;
Ri Jesús xusikꞌij ri utijoxelabꞌ, xubꞌij chike: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, we malkaꞌn ixoq riꞌ are nim xuya chikiwach konojel.
44 for everyone else put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, put in all she had – everything that she had to live on.”
We nikꞌaj winaq xkiya ri jubꞌiqꞌ che ri nim ri kꞌo kukꞌ, are kꞌu we ixoq riꞌ xuya ronojel ri kꞌo rukꞌ.
