Matthew 9
1 Jesus and his disciples got into the boat. They skirted around [the lake] and went to [Capernaum, the city where he was living].
Are xtoꞌtaj ri Jesús chubꞌixik we riꞌ, xaqꞌan pa jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ, xeꞌ chꞌaqaꞌp che ri kꞌo wi, pa ri tinimit ubꞌiꞌnam Capernaúm, jawjeꞌ ri kel wi.
2 [Some men] brought to him a man who was paralyzed and who was lying on a sleeping pad. When Jesus perceived that they believed [that he could heal the paralyzed man], he said to him, “Young man, be encouraged! I forgive your sins.”
Are kꞌo chilaꞌ e nikꞌaj winaq xkikꞌam bꞌik jun achi ri qꞌoyol pa ri uchꞌat, ri man kakwin taj kusalabꞌaj ribꞌ. Ri Jesús are xril ri kikojobꞌal ri winaq xubꞌij che ri achi: Achi, chabꞌana achuqꞌabꞌ. In katinkuy che ronojel ri amak.
3 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws said among themselves, “[He claims that he can forgive sins! That means that he claims to be equal with God] He is insulting God!”
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik chilaꞌ, xkichomaj: Jachin jun jeꞌ kunaꞌ we achi riꞌ, we pukꞌuꞌx chi are Dios, awas riꞌ ri kuchomaj.
4 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, “(You should not think evil [thoughts], [accusing me because I claim that I am God]!/Why do you think evil [thoughts], [saying that it is wrong for me to claim that I am God]?) [RHQ]
Ri Jesús retaꞌm ri tajin kakichomaj, rumal riꞌ xuta chike: ¿Jas che sibꞌalaj itzel kixchoman chwij?
5 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins’, [because no one could see whether or not it really happened]. But [no one, without having the power to heal], would say [to him], ‘[Get] up and walk!’, [because people could easily see whether it happened or not!] [RHQ]
¿Jas ri man kꞌax ta ubꞌixik? ¿Xkuyutaj ri amak, o chatwaꞌjiloq chatbꞌinoq?
6 [So I am going to do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am] on the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!”
Rech kꞌu kiwilo chi in in uKꞌojol ri Achi, kꞌo nukwinem chukuyik makaj choch ri uwachulew, xubꞌij ri Jesús che ri achi ri man kakwin taj kabꞌinik: Chatwaꞌjiloq, chakꞌama bꞌik ri achꞌat, jat cho awachoch.
7 And [immediately] the man got up, [picked up his sleeping pad], and went home!
Xwaꞌjil kꞌu bꞌik ri achi, xeꞌ cho rachoch.
8 When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck. They praised God for giving authority to a human being [to do] such [things].
Are xkil ri winaq ri xkꞌulmatajik, xemayijanik, xkiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios rumal cher uyaꞌom ri kwinem riꞌ chike ri e winaq.
9 As Jesus was going away from there, he saw me, a man named Matthew. I was sitting at a table where I collected taxes [for the Roman government]. He said to me, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So I got up and went with him.
Are xel bꞌik ri Jesús chilaꞌ, xril jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Mateo, tꞌuyulik tajin kutoqꞌij alkabal rech ri nim taqanel pa Roma. Xpe ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Chinatereneꞌj. Ri Mateo xwaꞌjil bꞌik, xutereneꞌj ri Jesús.
10 [Then I invited] Jesus and his disciples to my home for a meal. While [they] were sitting and eating in my home, many tax collectors and [other people who were] {whom [the Pharisees]} [considered to be habitual] sinners came unexpectedly to eat with us.
Pa ri qꞌij riꞌ, ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ ri utijoxelabꞌ xubꞌeꞌwoq cho rachoch ri Mateo. E kꞌi toqꞌil taq alkabal xuqujeꞌ aꞌjmakibꞌ xubꞌeꞌwoq kukꞌ.
11 When the Pharisees saw [that, they came] to us disciples and said, “([It is disgusting that] your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners!/Why is it that your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Ri fariseos are xeꞌkil we winaq riꞌ, xkita chike ri utijoxelabꞌ ri Jesús, xkibꞌij: ¿Jas che kawaꞌ le iwajtij kukꞌ toqꞌil taq alkabal xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ aꞌjmakibꞌ?
12 Jesus heard what [they said], so he told them [this parable]: “[It is] people who are sick who need a [doctor] [MET], not people who are well.” [What he meant by that was that it was people who knew that they were sinners who were coming to him in order to be helped spiritually].
Are xuta ri Jesús ri xkibꞌij ri fariseos xubꞌij chike: Man kajawataj taj ajkun chike ri utz kiwach, xane are kajawataj ajkun chike ri e yawabꞌibꞌ.
13 He continued by saying, “You need to learn what these words that [God said] mean: ‘I want you to [act] mercifully to people and not [just to offer] sacrifices.’ Keep in mind that I came [from heaven, not] to invite [people who think] [IRO] [that they are] righteous [to turn away from their sinful lives and come to me, but to invite people who know they are] sinners [to turn from their sins and come to me].”
Are katanik, jix chitatabꞌelaꞌ jas kel ri xubꞌij ri Dios are xubꞌij we tzij riꞌ: Are kawaj in utz kixnoꞌjin kukꞌ ri winaq, man are ta kawaj kikꞌam la ri isipanik chinuwach. Xinpe in chikisikꞌixik ri aꞌjmakibꞌ rech kuꞌx nutijoxelabꞌ, man are ta in petinaq chikisikꞌixik ri sibꞌalaj e utz taq winaq kakinaꞌo.
14 Later, the disciples of John [the Baptizer] came to Jesus and asked him, “We [(exc)] and the Pharisees [often] abstain from food [to show that we want to please God], but your disciples do not do that. Why [do they not]?”
Jun qꞌijal, ri utijoxelabꞌ ri Juan xeqet rukꞌ ri Jesús, xkita che: ¿Jas che ri uj xuqujeꞌ le fariseos kaqabꞌan qꞌipoj waꞌim, man je ta kꞌu laꞌ kakibꞌan le atijoxelabꞌ?
15 [Jesus wanted to show them and the Pharisees that it was not appropriate for his disciples to abstain from food and mourn while he was still with them]. So he [gave them this illustration]: “When a bridegroom is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], (his friends certainly do not mourn, do they?/do his friends mourn?) [RHQ] [No, they do not mourn, because they are not sad at that time. But when] the bridegroom is taken {[someone] takes the [/his enemies] take the bridegroom} from them, they will abstain from food, [because then they will be sad].”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri winaq ri e sikꞌital pa jun kꞌulanem man kebꞌison taj, rumal cher kꞌo ri jiꞌatz kukꞌ. Kuꞌriqa kꞌu na qꞌij are kakꞌam bꞌik ri jiꞌatz chikiwach. Kꞌa te riꞌ riꞌ kakibꞌan qꞌipoj waꞌim.
16 [Jesus wanted to show them that people who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like] ([abstaining from food/fasting]) [MET]. [So he said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment], the patch would [shrink] and tear the garment, and the hole would become bigger.
We xtꞌoqopin jun qꞌeꞌl atzꞌyaq, man kakꞌojox taj rukꞌ jun chꞌaqaꞌp kꞌakꞌ atzꞌyaq. Rumal cher are kachꞌaj ri qꞌeꞌl atzꞌyaq, kujikꞌ ribꞌ ri kꞌakꞌ atzꞌyaq kꞌojobꞌal, xuqujeꞌ kutꞌoqopij ronojel ri qꞌeꞌl atzꞌyaq, jeriꞌ kanimataj ri teqꞌ.
17 Neither does anyone pour freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, those skin bags would tear [because they would not stretch when the grape juice ferments and expands. They] would be ruined, and the wine would be spilled {spill} [on the ground]. Instead, [people] put new wine into new skin bags, [and the bags will stretch when the wine ferments]. As a result, both [the wine and the bags] are preserved.”
Xuqujeꞌ man kaya ta ri kꞌakꞌ vino pa qꞌeꞌl taq kꞌolibꞌal, rumal cher ri kꞌakꞌ vino kutꞌoqopij riꞌ ri qꞌeꞌl taq kꞌolibꞌal, xaq jeriꞌ katix ri kꞌakꞌ vino, xuqujeꞌ katꞌoqopin ri kꞌolibꞌal. Rumal riꞌ are utz na we kaya ri kꞌakꞌ vino pa ri kꞌakꞌ taq kꞌolibꞌal, jeriꞌ man katꞌoqopin ta ri kꞌolibꞌal xuqujeꞌ man katix ta ri vino.
18 While Jesus was saying that, a leader of the Jewish meeting place came and bowed down before him [to show respect]. Then he said, “My daughter just died! But if you come and lay your hand on her, she will live [again]!”
Tajin katzijon ri Jesús, are xopan jun kꞌamal kibꞌe ri winaq aꞌj Israel, xukiꞌ choch kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij che: Xkam ri numiꞌal, we kꞌu keꞌya ri qꞌabꞌ la puꞌwiꞌ, kakꞌastaj na riꞌ.
19 So Jesus got up, and he and [we] disciples went with the man.
Xwaꞌjil ri Jesús, xeꞌ rukꞌ ri achi, e rachiꞌl ri utijoxelabꞌ.
20 Then a woman who [had been suffering constant vaginal] bleeding for twelve years came near Jesus. She was saying to herself, “[I want Jesus to heal me without anyone finding out that I have this problem of bleeding]. So if I [touch him] or even if I just touch his garment, I will be healed [without anyone finding out about it].” So she came behind him and touched the tassel of his garment.
Are e bꞌenaq pa ri bꞌe, xiꞌkꞌow bꞌik jawjeꞌ ri kꞌo wi jun ixoq yawabꞌ kabꞌlajuj junabꞌ. Ri yabꞌil riꞌ kubꞌano chi ri ixoq kutzaq ri ukikꞌel. Are xril ri ixoq chi tajin kiꞌkꞌow bꞌik ri Jesús,
xuchomaj: we ta kꞌo bꞌanom wiꞌ nuchapom apanoq ri umanta ri Jesús, rukꞌ riꞌ kinutzirik. Xqet kꞌut chirij ri Jesús, xuchap ri umanta.
22 Then Jesus turned around [to see who had touched him]. And when he saw the woman, he said to her, “Be encouraged, dear woman. Because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you.” The woman was healed at that very moment.
Ri Jesús xtzalqꞌomijik xukaꞌyej ri ixoq, xubꞌij che: Man kakꞌaxir ta chi awanimaꞌ, are ri akuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx chirij ri Dios, xatkunanik. Qas che ri qꞌotaj riꞌ xkunataj ri ixoq.
23 Then Jesus [and some of us disciples] came to the Jewish leader’s house. Jesus heard the flute players [playing funeral music] and the crowd [that had gathered] wailing loudly [because the girl had died].
Ri Jesús xutaqej ri ubꞌe, xopan cho rachoch ri kꞌamal kibꞌe ri winaq aꞌj Israel. Are xopanik, xeꞌril ri ajqꞌojomabꞌ tajin kakibꞌan ri qꞌojom rech muqbꞌal, xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq kakiraqaqej kichiꞌ koꞌqꞌik.
24 [Knowing that he would cause her to live again], he said [to them], “Go away [and stop the funeral music and wailing], because the girl is not dead! She is [just] sleeping!” [The people laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead].
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Chixel bꞌik waral. Ri ali man kaminaq taj, xaq kawarik. Konojel kꞌu ri winaq ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ xetzeꞌn che ri Jesús.
25 But Jesus told them to get out of the house. Then he went into [the room where the girl was lying]. He took hold of her hand and she [became alive again and] got up.
Ri Jesús xeꞌresaj bꞌik ri winaq pa ri ja, te kꞌu riꞌ xok bꞌik. Xuchap ri ali che ri uqꞌabꞌ. Ri ali xwaꞌjilik.
26 And the [people of that] whole region heard [PRS] about it.
Konojel ri winaq ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit xketaꞌmaj ri xkꞌulmatajik.
27 As Jesus went away from there, two blind men followed him and shouted, “Have mercy on us [and heal our eyes, you who are the Messiah], the Descendant of [King] David!”
Are xel bꞌik ri Jesús chilaꞌ xepe kebꞌ moyabꞌ. Xkitereneꞌj xkichapleꞌj uraqik kichiꞌ xkibꞌij: ¡Jesús, Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri David, toqꞌobꞌisaj la qawach!
28 Jesus went into the house, where he [was staying], and then the blind men went in, too. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able [to heal your eyes]?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord!”
Ri e moyabꞌ xkitereneꞌj bꞌik ri Jesús xok pa ri ja. Are e kꞌo chi pa ri ja, ri Jesús xuta chike: ¿La kikojo chi kinkwinik kixinkunaj? Ri e moyabꞌ xkibꞌij: Jeꞌ, Ajawxel, kaqakojo.
29 Then he touched their eyes and he said [to them], “Because you believe [that I can heal your eyes], I am healing them [right now]!”
Ri Jesús xuchap ri kibꞌoqꞌoch kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij: Kꞌulmataj iwukꞌ ri kikojo.
30 And they were able to see [IDM]! Then Jesus told them sternly, “Be sure [IDM] that you do not tell anybody [what I did for you]!”
Aninaq xekwinik xekaꞌy chi junmul. Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Man kitzijoj ta chi chike nikꞌaj ri xkꞌulmatajik.
31 But they went out and reported it throughout that whole region.
Ri achyabꞌ are xeꞌl loq xkitzijoj ri xubꞌan ri Jesús chike konojel ri winaq pa ri tinimit.
32 When [Jesus and we disciples] left [the house], some people brought to Jesus a man who was unable to speak because he was controlled by a demon {a demon controlled him}.
Are tajin keꞌl bꞌik ri achyabꞌ pa ri ja, e nikꞌaj winaq xkikꞌam loq rukꞌ ri Jesús jun achi ri man kakwin taj kachꞌawik rumal cher kꞌo jun itzel uxlabꞌal che.
33 After Jesus had expelled the demon, the man who had been unable to speak began to speak! The crowd [who saw this] marveled. They said, “Never before have [we seen] anything as [marvelous] as this happen in Israel!”
Ri Jesús xresaj bꞌik ri itzel uxlabꞌal ri kꞌo che ri achi, are xesataj bꞌik ri itzel uxlabꞌal che, ri achi xchꞌawik. Ri winaq ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ xemayijanik, xkibꞌij: Man ilom ta wi pa Israel jun kꞌulmatajem jetaq we riꞌ.
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is [Satan], who rules the demons, who [enables this man to] expel demons [from people].”
Ri fariseos xkibꞌij: We Jesús karesaj itzel taq uxlabꞌal, rumal cher yaꞌtal kwinem che rumal ri kꞌamal kibꞌe ri itzel taq uxlabꞌal.
35 Then [we] went [with] Jesus through many of [HYP] the cities and towns [in Galilee district. He was teaching (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places)], and preaching the good message about how God rules [over people’s lives]. He also was healing the [people who had] various diseases and illnesses.
Ri Jesús xikꞌow pa taq ri nimaꞌq xuqujeꞌ nitzꞌ taq tinimit. Xuya kꞌutuꞌn pa taq ri Sinagoga, xutzijoj ri utz laj taq tzij rech ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, xuꞌkunaj ri winaq ri kꞌo kꞌaxal xuqujeꞌ yabꞌilal chike.
36 When he saw the crowd of people, he pitied them because they were harassed and dejected. [They were] like sheep that do not have a shepherd [SIM].
Are xril ri kikꞌyal ri winaq ri e teren chirij, xutoqꞌobꞌisaj kiwach, rumal xrilo chi sibꞌalaj e sachinaq pa ri kichomanik xuqujeꞌ maj jachin ketoꞌwik, jacha ta ne ri chij ri maj kajyuqꞌ.
37 Then he gave [this illustration] to us disciples: “[The people who are ready to receive my message are like a] field that is ready to be harvested {for people to harvest}. But there are only a few [of you who are teaching people my message].
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi ri kajawataj chike koꞌk pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, man e kꞌi ta kꞌut tijoxelabꞌ ketzijon ri utz laj taq tzij chike we winaq riꞌ.
38 So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his [field to gather] the [MET] harvest.”
Rumal riꞌ, chita che ri Dios, ri ajchoqꞌe ri chak chuꞌtaqa loq nikꞌaj ajchakibꞌ chik pa ri uchak.
