Acts 5
1 But there was one of [the believers] whose name was Ananias, and whose wife’s name was Sapphira. He [also] sold some land.
Kꞌo kꞌu jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Ananías, ri rixoqil ubꞌiꞌ Safira, xkikꞌayij jun ulew.
2 He kept for himself some of the money [he had received for the land], and his wife knew that he had done that. Then he brought the rest of the money and presented it to the apostles [MTY].
Xkikꞌam bꞌik ri pwaq, xeꞌkiya chike ri e taqoꞌn, xkibꞌij chike chi are riꞌ ronojel ri pwaq ri xtoj chike. Man tzij ta kꞌut rumal cher ri Ananías rachiꞌl ri Safira xkichomaj chi kakesaj kan nikꞌaj che ri pwaq.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, you [(sg)] let Satan completely control you [MTY] so that you [(sg) tried to] deceive the Holy Spirit [and us(exc)]. (That was [terrible!/Why did you do such a terrible thing]?) [RHQ] [You] have kept for yourself some of the money you [(sg)] received for [selling] the land, [pretending that you(sg) were giving us all of it].
Ri Pedro kꞌut xubꞌij che ri Ananías: ¿Jas che xaya bꞌe che ri Itzel kok pa ri awanimaꞌ? Xabꞌan bꞌanoj tzij che ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel rumal xakꞌam kan nikꞌaj che ri pwaq ri xtojbꞌex rech ri ulew.
4 Before you [(sg)] sold that land, you truly owned [RHQ] it. And after you sold it, you could [RHQ] certainly still have used the money any way you wanted [to]. So why did you [(sg) ever] think [RHQ] about doing this [wicked] thing? You were not [merely trying to] deceive us! No, [you tried to deceive] God [himself!]!”
¿La man at xbꞌan awe chukꞌayixik ri awulew? At xuqujeꞌ xbꞌan awe puꞌwiꞌ ri pwaq we kasipaj o man kasipaj taj. ¿Jas kꞌu che jewaꞌ xabꞌano? Man chaqe ta uj xabꞌan wi bꞌanoj tzij xane che ri Dios.
5 When Ananias heard that, [immediately] he fell down dead. So all [who were there] who heard [about Ananias’ death] became terrified [PRS].
Ri Ananías are xuta we tzij riꞌ, xtzaq pa ri ulew, xkamik. Konojel ri xiꞌlowik xetowik we xkꞌulmatajik riꞌ sibꞌalaj xkixiꞌj kibꞌ.
6 Some young men came in, wrapped his [body in a sheet], and carried it out [and] buried it.
Xepe kꞌu nikꞌaj alabꞌom, xkiwaꞌjilisaj bꞌik, xkipis bꞌik kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkimuqu kanoq.
7 About three hours later, his wife came in, [but] she did not know what had happened.
Karaj ikꞌowinaq chi oxibꞌ hora xopan ri rixoqil, man retaꞌm ta kꞌut jas ri xkꞌulmatajik.
8 [As] Peter [showed her the money] that [Ananias had brought], he asked her, “Tell me, is this the amount [of money you two received for] the land you sold?” She said, “Yes, that’s [what we(exc) received].”
Ri Pedro xuta che: ¿La are waꞌ ri pwaq ri xya chiꞌwe cho ri ulew ri xikꞌayij? Ri ixoq xubꞌij: Jeꞌ, areꞌ.
9 So Peter said to her, “[You both did a terrible thing!] You two agreed [RHQ] to try to determine if you could do that without the Spirit of the Lord [God] revealing [to anyone that you two tried to deceive them!] Listen! [Do you(sg) hear the] footsteps [SYN] of the men who buried your husband? They are right outside this door, and they will carry your [corpse] out [to bury it, too]!”
Ri Pedro xubꞌij che ri ixoq: ¿Jas che xijunamaj ikꞌuꞌx chubꞌanik bꞌanoj tzij, teꞌq piꞌkꞌuꞌx chi kixkwinik kiqꞌol ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Ajawxel? Ri alabꞌom ri xubꞌeꞌmuquw ri awachajil e petinaq jubꞌiqꞌ kakaj koꞌk loq chiꞌ le ja, katkikꞌam xuqujeꞌ bꞌi at.
10 Immediately Sapphira fell down dead at Peter’s feet. Then the young men came in. When they saw that she was dead, they carried her [body] out and buried it beside her husband’s [body].
Aninaq xtzaq ri Safira pa ri ulew. Ri alabꞌom are xok bꞌik xkilo chi kaminaq chik, xkesaj bꞌik xeꞌkimuqu kanoq chuxukut ri xkimuq wi ri rachajil.
11 So all the believers [in Jerusalem] became greatly frightened [PRS] [because of what God had done to Ananias and Sapphira. And] all [the others] who heard [people tell about] those things also [became greatly frightened].
Konojel ri kojonelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ konojel ri xkita we xkꞌulmatajik riꞌ sibꞌalaj xkixiꞌj kibꞌ.
12 [God was enabling] the apostles to do many amazing miracles among the people. All the believers were meeting together regularly [in the temple courtyard] at [the place called] Solomon’s Porch.
Sibꞌalaj kꞌi mayijabꞌal taq jastaq xkibꞌan ri e taqoꞌn kukꞌ ri winaq. Konojel ri kojonelabꞌ amaqꞌel xkimulij kibꞌ pa ri raqan ja rech Salomón pa ri Templo.
13 All of the other people [who had not yet believed in Jesus] were afraid to associate with the believers, [because they knew that if they did anything evil, God would punish them, as well as revealing it to the believers]. However, those people continued to greatly respect the believers.
Maj chi kꞌu jun chike ri winaq karaj kok kukꞌ pune sibꞌalaj nim kiꞌlik.
14 Many more men and women started believing in the Lord [Jesus], and they joined the [group of] believers.
Amaqꞌel e kꞌi achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ xekojonik che ri Ajawxel Jesús.
15 [The apostles were doing amazing miracles], so [people] were bringing those who were sick into the streets, and laying them on stretchers and mats, in order that [when] Peter came by [he would touch them, or] at least his shadow might fall upon some of them [and heal them].
Ri winaq are xkil ri kichak ri e taqoꞌn xeꞌkikꞌam loq ri e yawabꞌibꞌ pa taq ri kichꞌat xeꞌkiya pa ri bꞌe rech kakiriq kan ri umuꞌjal ri Pedro.
16 Crowds of people were also coming [to the apostles] from the towns near Jerusalem. They were bringing their sick [relatives/friends] and those who were being tormented/troubled by evil spirits {whom evil spirits were tormenting/troubling}, and [God] healed all of them.
E kꞌi winaq keꞌl pa taq ri komon ri e kꞌo chuxukut ri tinimit Jerusalén xeꞌkikꞌam bꞌik ri e yawabꞌibꞌ, xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌo itzel taq uxlabꞌal chike konojel kꞌut xutzir kanoq.
17 Then the high priest and all who were with him, who were members of the [local] Sadducee [sect in Jerusalem], became very jealous [of the apostles, because many people were accepting the apostles’ message].
Are kꞌu ri kinimaꞌqil ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ konojel ri e rachiꞌl, ri saduceos, sibꞌalaj kꞌax xkinaꞌo.
18 So they commanded the Temple guards to seize the apostles and put them in the public jail.
Xeꞌkichap ri e taqoꞌn, xeꞌkikoj pa che.
19 [The guards did that], but during the night an angel from the Lord [God] opened the jail doors and brought the apostles outside! [The guards were not aware of what the angel had done].
Xpe kꞌu jun ángel rech ri Ajawxel chaqꞌabꞌ xujaq bꞌik ri uchiꞌ ri cheꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌresaj loq, xubꞌij chike:
20 Then the angel said [to the apostles], “Go to the Temple [courtyard], stand there, and tell the people all about [how God can give them eternal] life!”
Jix pa ri Templo, chitzijoj ri tzij rech kꞌaslemal chike ri winaq.
21 So having heard this, about dawn they entered the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach the people again [about Jesus]. Acts 5:21b-24 Meanwhile, the high priest and those who were with him summoned the other Jewish Council members. Altogether they made up the entire Council of Israel. [After they all gathered together], they sent [guards] to the jail to bring in the apostles.
Are xsaqirik, ri taqoꞌn xkichapleꞌj chi ukꞌutik ri utz laj tzij jetaq ri xbꞌix chike. Are kꞌu ri kinimaꞌqil ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios rachiꞌl ri e rajchakibꞌ xeꞌkimulij konojel ri nimaq taq kꞌamal bꞌe rech Israel kꞌa te riꞌ xetaqan che kikꞌamik ri e taqoꞌn rech kaqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ.
22 But when the guards arrived at the jail, they discovered that the apostles were not there. So they returned to the Council, and [one of] them reported,
Are xoꞌpan ri e chajil taq rech ri Templo pa ri cheꞌ, ri achyabꞌ man e kꞌo ta chi chilaꞌ xetzalij kꞌu loq, xulkibꞌij chike ri e qꞌatal taq tzij:
23 “We [(exc)] saw that the jail [doors] were very securely locked, and the guards were standing at the doors. But when we opened [the doors and went in to get those men], none [of them was] inside [the jail]!”
Tzꞌapil ri uchiꞌ ri cheꞌ, ri e chajil taq rech e takꞌatoj pa taq ri kikꞌolibꞌal are xqajaq bꞌik ri uchiꞌ, man kꞌo ta chi jun kꞌo chupam.
24 When the captain of the temple guards and the chief priests heard that, they became greatly perplexed, [wondering] what might result from all this.
Ri kꞌamal bꞌe kech ri e chajil re ri Templo xuqujeꞌ ri e kinimaꞌqil taq ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq xemayijanik are xkita ri xkꞌulmatajik xkita chibꞌil taq kibꞌ jas kel kubꞌij we jastaq riꞌ.
25 Then someone came [from the Temple courtyard] and [excitedly] reported to them, “Listen [to this! Right now] the men whom you put in jail are standing in the Temple [courtyard] and they are teaching the people [about Jesus]!”
Xopan kꞌu jun winaq xuꞌbꞌij chike: Ri achyabꞌ ri xiꞌkoj pa che tajin kakiya kꞌutuꞌn chike ri winaq pa ri Templo.
26 So the captain [of the Temple guards] went [to the Temple courtyard] with the officers, and they brought the apostles [back to the Council room. But they] did not treat them roughly, because they were afraid that the people would [kill them by] throwing stones at them [if they hurt the apostles].
Ri kꞌamal kibꞌe ri e chajil taq rech ri Templo xuqujeꞌ ri e rachiꞌl xubꞌe kikꞌama loq ri e taqoꞌn man rukꞌ ta chꞌuꞌjal, rumal chi xkixiꞌj kibꞌ kebꞌan che abꞌaj kumal ri winaq.
27 After [the captain and his officers] had brought [the apostles to the Council room], they commanded them to stand in front of the Council members, and the high priest questioned them.
Xeꞌkikꞌam kꞌu bꞌik chikiwach ri nimaq taq qꞌatal tzij, ri kinimaꞌqil ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq xubꞌij chike:
28 He said to them [accusingly], “We [(exc)] strongly commanded you not to teach people about that man [MTY] [Jesus] But [you have disobeyed us, and] you have taught people all over Jerusalem [about him]! Furthermore, you are trying to make it seem that we [(exc)] are the ones who are guilty [MTY] for that man’s death!”
¿La man xqabꞌij chiꞌwe chi man kibꞌan ta chi ri kꞌutuꞌn pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri achi riꞌ? Xiꞌnojisaj kꞌu ri kanimaꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Jerusalén rukꞌ ri ukꞌutuꞌn xuqujeꞌ kiqꞌabꞌaj chi uj xuj kamisan ri achi riꞌ.
29 But Peter, [speaking for himself] and the other apostles, replied, “We [(exc)] have to obey [what] God [commands us to do], not what [you] people [tell us to do]!
Ri Pedro xuqujeꞌ ri e rach taq taqoꞌn xkibꞌij: Uj kaqanimaj ri Dios nabꞌe na choch xapachin qꞌatal tzij.
30 God considers that you are the ones who killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross! But God, whom our ancestors [worshipped], (caused Jesus to become alive again after he died/raised Jesus from the dead).
Ri kiDios ri qamam xukꞌastajisaj ri Jesús, ri xirip cho ri ripbꞌal, ri xikamisaj.
31 God has greatly honored Jesus. [He has taken him up to heaven! He has authorized him] to be the one who will save us and to rule [over our lives! God did this] so that he might enable [us] Israelites [MTY] to turn away from [our] sinful behavior and [that he might] forgive [us for our sins].
Ri Dios kꞌut xuya pa ri uwiqiqꞌabꞌ pa jun jeꞌlalaj kꞌolibꞌal xuqujeꞌ xubꞌan che nim qꞌatal tzij kolonel, je xubꞌan waꞌ rech ri winaq aꞌj Israel kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx. kakitas kibꞌ che ri kimak xuqujeꞌ kekuyutajik.
32 We [(exc)] tell people about these things [that we know happened to Jesus], and the Holy Spirit, whom God has sent to [us] who obey him, is also confirming [that these things are true].”
Xqil uj we jastaq riꞌ, xuqujeꞌ ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel ri xyaꞌtaj chike konojel ri keniman che ri Dios.
33 When the Council members heard those words, they became very angry [with the apostles], and they wanted to kill them.
Are xkita ri nimaq taq qꞌatal taq tzij xeyojtajik are xkaj xeꞌkikamisaj.
34 But [there was a Council member] named Gamaliel. He was a Pharisee, and one who taught people the [Jewish] laws, and all the [Jewish] people respected him. He stood up in the Council and told [guards] to take the apostles out [of the room] for a short time.
Kꞌo kꞌu jun fariseo chkixoꞌl ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe, Gamaliel ubꞌiꞌ, retaꞌm ri pixabꞌ, nim kilik kumal ri winaq. Xtakꞌiꞌk xtaqanik kesax loq ri e taqoꞌn.
35 [After the guards had taken the apostles out], he said to the other Council members, “Fellow Israelites, you need to think carefully about what you are about to do to these men, [and I will tell you why].
Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij chike ri e rachiꞌl: Achyabꞌ aꞌj Israel, qas chichomaj na jas kibꞌan chike we achyabꞌ riꞌ.
36 Some years ago [a man named] Theudas rebelled [against the Roman government]. He told people that he was an important person, and about 400 men joined [him. But he was killed] {[soldiers] killed him} and all those who had been accompanying him were scattered. [So they] were not able to do anything [that they had planned].
Xkꞌojiꞌ jun achi ojer ubꞌiꞌ Teudas, xujaluj nim ubꞌanik, kajibꞌ ciento winaq xeteriꞌ chirij are kꞌu xkamisaxik, ri e tereneꞌl taq rech xkibꞌan jaljoj taq jastaq, maj xeꞌl wi ri kimulim ibꞌ.
37 After that, during the time when they were (writing down names of the people/taking the census) [in order to tax people, a man named] Judas from Galilee [province] rebelled [against the Roman government]. He persuaded some people to accompany him. But [soldiers] killed him, too, and all those who had accompanied him went off in different directions.
Are xbꞌan ri ajilan winaq xwaꞌjil jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Judas aj Galilea, xkwinik xuꞌmenkꞌetij ri winaq rech keteriꞌ chirij are kꞌu xkamisaxik, konojel ri e tereneꞌl taq rech xsach kiwach.
38 So now I say [this] to you: Do not harm these men! Release them! I say this because if [this is just something] that humans have planned, they will not be able to do it. They will fail, [like Theudas and Judas did]
Rumal riꞌ kinbꞌij in, chiꞌtzoqopij bꞌik ri achyabꞌ, we xaq pa ke wiꞌ kakibꞌan taq waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ, kasach kiwach laꞌ.
39 But, if God [has commanded them to do it], you will not be able to prevent them [from doing it, because] you will find out that you are opposing God!” The other members of the Council accepted what Gamaliel said.
We kꞌu ne rech ri Dios ri kakibꞌano, man kixkwin ta laꞌ kiꞌqꞌatej, rukꞌ ta ne jubꞌiqꞌ rukꞌ ri Dios tajin kixchꞌoꞌjin wi.
40 They told the [temple guards to bring the apostles and flog them. So the guards] brought them [into the Council room] and flogged them. Then the Council members commanded them not to speak to people about [MTY] Jesus, and they released the apostles.
Konojel ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe xkikꞌam uqꞌabꞌ ri xubꞌij ri Gamaliel. Xeꞌkisikꞌij kꞌu ri e taqoꞌn, xeꞌkirapuj. Kꞌa te riꞌ xkibꞌij bꞌik chike chi man kakitzijobꞌej ta chi ri jastaq pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Jesús, kꞌa te riꞌ, xeꞌkitzoqopij bꞌik.
41 So the apostles left the Council. They were rejoicing, because [they knew God] had honored them [by letting people] disgrace them because they were followers [MTY] of Jesus.
Xeꞌl bꞌik ri e taqoꞌn rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal rumal cher ri Dios xuya bꞌe chike kakiriq jun kꞌixibꞌalalaj kꞌaxkꞌolal rumal ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Jesús.
42 And every day [the apostles went to] the temple [area] and to various [people’s] houses, [and] they continued [LIT] teaching [people] and telling [them] that Jesus is the Messiah.
Ronojel qꞌij xkiya kꞌutuꞌn pa ri Templo xuqujeꞌ cho taq ri ja, xkitzijoj chi ri Jesús are Mesías.
