Luke 1
1 Many have taken on the work of putting together an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
Loqꞌalaj Teófilo: E kꞌi ri winaq ri xkaj xkitzꞌibꞌaj pa cholaj ri tzijobꞌelil chrij ri qas xkꞌulmataj waral chiqaxoꞌl.
2 just as they were passed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
Are waꞌ ri xkikꞌut loq chiqawach ri qas xiꞌlow ronojel ri xkꞌulmatajik pa ri majibꞌal re, ri e tzijol taq re ri utz laj tzij.
3 So it seemed good to me also, because I have accurately investigated everything from the beginning, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
Ri in xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj utz rilik xuqujeꞌ usolixik xinbꞌano rech xinwetaꞌmaj ronojel ri ucholajil ri jastaq ri xkꞌulmatajik qas pa ri majibꞌal rech. Rumal waꞌ xinchomaj utzꞌibꞌaxik chawe pa ucholajil, nimalaj Teófilo,
4 so that you might know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
rech kawetaꞌmaj ri qas tzij chrij ri kꞌutuꞌn ri yaꞌom chawe.
5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zechariah, from the division of Abijah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Pa taq ri qꞌij che riꞌ are taqanel ri Herodes pa ri Judea, kꞌo jun chꞌawenel cho ri Dios ubꞌiꞌ Zacarías jun chike ri wok e rijaꞌl ri Abías, ri rixoqil are ri Elisabet, rijaꞌl ri Aarón.
6 They were both righteous before God, obeying all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Kikꞌulajal e utz laj taq winaq, sukꞌ kanimaꞌ cho ri Dios. Xeniman che ronojel ri utaqanik ri Dios. Man kꞌo ta etzelal xkibꞌano.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both very old by this time.
Maj kꞌu e kal rumal cher ri Elisabet man kakwin taj kuya ral pa ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ e nimaq taq winaq chik.
8 Now it came about that Zechariah was in God's presence, carrying out the priestly duties in the order of his division.
Jun qꞌijal ri Zacarías are tajin kapatanij pa ri Templo rech ri Dios rumal cher xuriq ri qꞌij are kapatanik ri uwo kaj.
9 According to the customary way of choosing which priest would serve, he had been chosen by lot to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
Jacha ri kubꞌij ri naqꞌatajibꞌal kech ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, kakikꞌyaq rij jachin ri chꞌawenel kok bꞌik pa utemplo ri Dios chutzujik ri incienso.
10 The whole crowd of people was praying outside at the hour when the incense was burned.
Are tajin kaporox ri incienso, ri winaq ri kimulim kibꞌ tajin kakibꞌan apanoq chꞌawem cho ri Templo rech ri Dios.
11 Now an angel of the Lord appeared to him and stood at the right side of the incense altar.
Are tajin kuporoj incienso ri Zacarías xukꞌut ribꞌ jun ángel choch, xtakꞌiꞌ pa ri wiqiqꞌabꞌ rech ri tzujbꞌal sipanik jaw ri kaporox wi ri incienso.
12 When Zechariah saw him, he was terrified and fear fell on him.
Are xril ri Zacarías ri ángel, xkꞌaxir ranimaꞌ, sibꞌalaj xuxiꞌj ribꞌ.
13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son. You will call his name John.
Ri ángel xubꞌij che: Man kaxiꞌj ta awibꞌ. Ri achꞌawem xtataj rumal ri Dios. Kakꞌojiꞌ na jun akꞌojol rukꞌ ri awixoqil Elisabet, Juan kakoj che ubꞌiꞌ.
14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
Sibꞌalaj katkiꞌkot na rumal rech ri akꞌal, xuqujeꞌ e kꞌi winaq kekiꞌkot na we xkil uwach.
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb.
Jeriꞌ rumal cher nim na uqꞌij cho ri Dios. Man kutij ta wi vino xuqujeꞌ tzam. Kanojisax na che ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel are kꞌo chupam ri unan.
16 Many of the people of Israel will be turned to the Lord their God.
E kꞌi winaq aꞌj Israel ketzalij na rukꞌ ri Ajawxel ri kiDios rumal rech areꞌ.
17 He will go before the face of the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”
Kanabꞌej na cho ri Ajawxel rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kwinem jetaq ri xya che ri Elías, kubꞌan na chi kesukꞌiꞌ ri tat nan kukꞌ ri alkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kubꞌan na chi ri man keniman taj kakikꞌamawaꞌj ketaꞌmabꞌal chike ri sukꞌ taq winaq. Rech jeriꞌ ri winaq kakisukꞌumaj apanoq kibꞌ chirayeꞌxik ri Ajawxel.
18 Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this? For I am an old man and my wife is very old.”
Ri Zacarías xubꞌij che ri ángel: ¿Jas kinbꞌan chi retaꞌmaxik chi qas kakꞌulmataj na we jastaq riꞌ? In in riꞌj achi chik, ri wixoqil xuqujeꞌ bꞌenaq chi ri ujunabꞌ.
19 The angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, to bring you this good news.
Ri ángel xubꞌij: In in Gabriel, in kꞌo cho ri Dios chanim, areꞌ xintaqow loq chubꞌixik we utz laj taq tzij riꞌ chawe.
20 Behold! You will be silent, unable to speak, until the day these things take place. This is because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at the right time.”
Rumal kꞌu cher man xakoj ta ri xinbꞌij chawe, katmemar kan chanim, man katkwin taj katchꞌawik, ka chi kꞌol na ri akꞌal kꞌa te riꞌ kajaqataj ri achꞌabꞌal. Kakꞌulmataj na ri nutzij pa ri qꞌotaj ri kajawatajik.
21 Now the people were waiting for Zechariah. They were surprised that he was spending so much time in the temple.
Ri winaq ri aꞌyeninaq ri Zacarías xemayijanik rumal cher maj ri kel loq.
22 But when he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized that he had seen a vision while he was in the temple. He kept on making signs to them and remained silent.
Are xel loq, man kakwin ta chik kachꞌawik. Xaq pa memal tzij chik xtzijon kukꞌ, xkichomaj kꞌut chi xa xril jun kꞌutbꞌal pa ri Tyoxalaj kꞌolibꞌal.
23 It came about that when the days of his service were over, he went to his house.
Are xtoꞌtaj ri Zacarías che ri patanijik pa ri Templo, xtzalij cho rachoch.
24 After these days, his wife Elizabeth conceived and for five months she kept herself hidden. She said,
Ikꞌowinaq chi jun janipa qꞌij, ri Elisabet rixoqil ri Zacarías xkanaj yawabꞌ ixoq. Ri Elisabet jobꞌ ikꞌ xaq cho rachoch xkꞌojiꞌ wi.
25 “This is what the Lord has done for me when he looked at me with favor in order to take away my shame before people.”
Sibꞌalaj utz ri wAjaw, xinresaj pa ri nukꞌixibꞌal rech man kinkiyoqꞌ ta chi ri winaq, xcha ri Elisabet.
26 In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee named Nazareth,
Pa ri uwaq ikꞌ rech ri uyawajik ri Elisabet, xtaq loq ri ángel Gabriel pa Nazaret, jun leꞌaj ri kꞌo pa Galilea.
27 to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph. He belonged to the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary.
Xopan rukꞌ jun qꞌapoj ali, ubꞌiꞌ María, ri tzꞌonom chik rumal jun achi ubꞌiꞌ José, jun rijaꞌl ri Taqanel David.
28 He came to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
Ri Gabriel xukꞌut ribꞌ choch ri María, xubꞌij che: ¡Rutzil awach, at jun ixoq chaꞌtalik, ri Ajawxel kꞌo awukꞌ!
29 But she was very confused by his words and she wondered what kind of greeting this could be.
Ri María xsach ukꞌuꞌx, xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ranimaꞌ, xuchomaj rij ri kubꞌij ri ángel.
30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Ri ángel xubꞌij che: ¡Man kaxiꞌj ta awibꞌ María, at chaꞌtal rumal ri Dios!
31 See, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son. You will call his name 'Jesus.'
Katiktaj na jun akꞌal chawe, kalax na, kakoj Jesús che ubꞌiꞌ.
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
Kanimar na uqꞌij, kabꞌix na ukꞌojol ri Nimalaj Dios che. Ri Ajawxel Dios kukoj na che nim taqanel jetaq ri qamam David.
33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his kingdom.” (aiōn g165)
Amaqꞌel kataqan na puꞌwiꞌ ri tinimit Israel, ri utaqanik maj ukꞌisik. (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, “How will this happen, since I have not slept with any man?”
Ri María xubꞌij: ¿Jamo riꞌ kakꞌulmataj we riꞌ? Man in kꞌolinaq ta in rukꞌ achi.
35 The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will come over you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
Ri ángel xubꞌij che: Ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel kaqaj na loq paꞌwiꞌ. Ri ukwinem ri nimalaj Dios katuchꞌuq na. Rumal riꞌ, ri neꞌ riꞌ ri kakꞌojiꞌ na, jun Tyoxalaj akꞌal, xuqujeꞌ kubꞌiꞌnaꞌj na Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios.
36 See, your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age. This is the sixth month for her, she who was called barren.
Ri Elisabet ri awachalal xkanaj yawabꞌ winaq pa ri uriꞌjobꞌnaqil. Waqibꞌ ikꞌ chik yawabꞌ winaq pune xbꞌix che kumal ri winaq chi man kakwin taj kuꞌya ral pa ri uwachulew.
37 For nothing will be impossible for God.”
Maj jun jastaq ri mat kakwin ri Dios che ubꞌanik.
38 Mary said, “See, I am the female servant of the Lord. Let it be for me according to your message.” Then the angel left her.
Ri María xubꞌij: In patanil rech ri Ajawxel. Kꞌulmataj wukꞌ ronojel ri xabꞌij. Ri ángel xtzalijik.
39 Then Mary arose in those days and quickly went into the hill country, to a city in Judea.
Kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij chik ikꞌowinaq we kꞌulmatajem riꞌ, ri María xeꞌ pa taq ri juyubꞌ pa ri tinimit rech Judea.
40 She went into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
Are xopan chilaꞌ, xok bꞌik pa ri rachoch ri Zacarías, xuya rutzil uwach ri Elisabet.
41 Now it happened that when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby in her womb jumped, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Are xuta ri Elisabet ri rutzil wach ri xya rumal ri María, xchꞌoplaj ri ral chupam, xnoj kꞌut che ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
42 She raised her voice and said loudly, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
Ri Elisabet xuraq uchiꞌ chech kiꞌkotemal, xubꞌij che ri María: Sibꞌalaj at tewchiꞌtalik chikiwach konojel ri ixoqibꞌ. Xuqujeꞌ tewchiꞌtal ri awal.
43 Why has it happened to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
¿Jas che xya bꞌe chwe, kinulusolij ri unan ri Wajaw?
44 For see, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb jumped for joy.
Are xinta ri rutzil nuwach xuyaꞌo, xchꞌoplaj ri nuneꞌ ri kꞌo chinupam xchꞌoplaj che kiꞌkotemal.
45 Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of the things that were told her from the Lord.”
Sibꞌalaj at tewchiꞌtalik rumal cher xakojo chi ri Ajawxel kubꞌan ri xuchiꞌj chawe.
46 Mary said, “My soul praises the Lord,
Ri María xubꞌij: Ri wanimaꞌ sibꞌalaj kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Ajawxel.
47 and my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior.
Sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkot ri wanimaꞌ pa ri nuDios, nukolonel.
48 For he has looked at the low condition of his female servant. For see, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
Xel ukꞌuꞌx che we patanijel rech ri man nim ta uqꞌij. Konojel kꞌu ri winaq kakibꞌij na riꞌ chwe chi in tewchiꞌtalik.
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and his name is holy.
Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Tyox xuqujeꞌ kwinel laj Dios xubꞌan nimalaj taq jastaq wukꞌ.
50 His mercy lasts from generation to generation for those who fear him.
Kutoqꞌobꞌisaj kiwach konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌolik xuqujeꞌ ri kekꞌojiꞌ na. Ri winaq kakimochꞌ kibꞌ choch.
51 He has displayed strength with his arm; he has scattered those who were proud about the thoughts of their hearts.
Rukꞌ ri utelebꞌ xubꞌan nimalaj taq jastaq, xusach kiwach ri winaq ri nimal chike xuqujeꞌ ri kakinimarisaj kibꞌ.
52 He has thrown down princes from their thrones and he has raised up those of low condition.
Xresaj ri taqanik pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri nimaꞌq kibꞌanik, xuya kiqꞌij ri winaq ri nim taj kiqꞌij.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent away empty.
Xuya jastaq kech ri kenumik, maj ke ri qꞌinomabꞌ xuyaꞌo.
54 He has given help to Israel his servant, so as to remember to show mercy
Xutoꞌ ri utinimit Israel, man xsachan ta che ubꞌanik ri utzilal kukꞌ.
Jeriꞌ xubꞌano rumal cher xuchiꞌj kan che ri qamam Abraham xuqujeꞌ amaqꞌel chike ri e rijaꞌl chi jewaꞌ kubꞌan na. (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then returned to her house.
Ri María xkanaj kan oxibꞌ ikꞌ rukꞌ ri Elisabet kꞌa te riꞌ xtzalij cho rachoch.
57 Now the time had come for Elizabeth to deliver her baby and she gave birth to a son.
Are xopan ri qꞌij, kakꞌojiꞌ ri ral ri Elisabet, xalax ri ral, ala ri ral.
58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
Ri ukꞌulja ri Elisabet xuqujeꞌ ri e rachalal xekiꞌkotik are xketaꞌmaj chi ri Dios sibꞌalaj xutoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri Elisabet.
59 Now it happened on the eighth day that they came to circumcise the child. They would have called him “Zechariah,” after the name of his father.
Are xtzꞌaqat wajxaqibꞌ uqꞌij ri neꞌ, xkimulij kibꞌ rech kakilo kakoj retal, xkaj kꞌut xkikoj Zacarías che ubꞌiꞌ, jetaq ri ubꞌiꞌ ri utat.
60 But his mother answered and said, “No. He will be called John.”
Ri Elisabet kꞌut xubꞌij: ¡Man je ta riꞌ! Juan kubꞌiꞌnaꞌj we akꞌal riꞌ.
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
¿Jas che? xecha ri winaq. Man kꞌo ta jun chike ri awachalal jeriꞌ ubꞌiꞌ.
62 They made signs to his father as to how he wanted him to be named.
Pa memal tzij kꞌut xkita che ri utat ri akꞌal jas ubꞌiꞌ ri ukꞌojol kukojo.
63 His father asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” They all were astonished at this.
Ri Zacarías xuta jun chꞌaqaꞌp tzꞌalam chike rech kutzꞌibꞌaj choch jas ri bꞌiꞌaj. Sibꞌalaj xemayijan kꞌut are xkilo ri xutzꞌibꞌaj “Juan ubꞌiꞌ.”
64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was freed. He spoke and praised God.
Aninaq xjaqataj ri uchꞌabꞌal ri Zacarías, xuchapleꞌj uqꞌijilaꞌxik ri Dios.
65 Fear came on all who lived around them. All these matters were spread throughout all the hill country of Judea.
Xtzijox kꞌu ronojel we kꞌulmatajem riꞌ pa taq ri tinimit ri kꞌo pa taq ri juyubꞌ rech Judea, konojel ri e kuꞌl ja xkixiꞌj kibꞌ.
66 All who heard them stored them in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child become?” For the hand of the Lord was with him.
Konojel ri winaq ri xetowik kakitatabꞌela chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: ¿Jas kux we akꞌal ri? Jeꞌ xkibꞌij waꞌ rumal qꞌalaj chi ri Ajawxel Dios kꞌo rukꞌ ri akꞌal.
67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,
Ri Zacarías, ri utat ri akꞌal, xnoj che ri Uxlabꞌixel, xubꞌij:
68 “Praised be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to help and he has accomplished redemption for his people.
Chiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Ajawxel, ri Dios rech ri tinimit Israel, xusolij ri utinimit, xutoꞌo pa ri qꞌoxom.
69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
Xutaq loq jun kwinel laj kolonel rijaꞌl ri patanil rech, David.

71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us.
Kujutoꞌ na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri e qakꞌulel, xuqujeꞌ pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri kaketzelaj qawach.
72 He will do this to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
Rech kutoqꞌobꞌisaj kiwach ri e qamam rumal cher xnaꞌtaj che ri chꞌekom tzij ri xubꞌano.
73 the oath that he spoke to Abraham our father.
Are waꞌ ri chꞌekom tzij xubꞌan kan rukꞌ ri qamam Abraham.
74 He swore to grant to us that we, having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies, would serve him without fear,
Xujesax na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri qakꞌulel rech kaqapatanij ri Dios man rukꞌ ta xibꞌin ibꞌ,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
rukꞌ jun tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal xuqujeꞌ sukꞌal, pa ronojel qꞌij rech ri qakꞌaslemal.
76 Yes, and you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his paths, to prepare people for his coming,
At, nukꞌojol, kabꞌix na qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij ri nimalaj Dios chawe, kasukꞌumaj na apanoq ri ubꞌe ri Ajawxel.
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins.
Katzijoj na jas kakibꞌan ri winaq rech kekolotajik xuqujeꞌ kekuyutaj che ri kimak.
78 This will happen because of the tender mercy of our God, because of which the sunrise from on high will come to help us,
Tyox che ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios, katunan na ri tunal rech pa ri kaj, chiqaxoꞌl.
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. He will do this to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
Kuꞌtunaj na ri e kꞌo pa ri qꞌequꞌmal, pa ri uqꞌequꞌmal ri kamikal, xuqujeꞌ kukꞌam na qabꞌe pa ri ubꞌeal ri jaꞌmaril.
80 Now the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
Xkꞌiy kꞌu ri Juan, sibꞌalaj xpe uchuqꞌabꞌ pa ri ranimaꞌ. Xkꞌojiꞌ pa ri katzꞌinow ulew kꞌa pa ri qꞌij are xukꞌut ribꞌ chkiwach ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
