< Luke 15 >

1 Now all the tax collectors and other sinners were coming to Jesus to listen to him.
E kꞌi kꞌu aꞌjmakibꞌ xuqujeꞌ e tal taq alkabal xeqet rukꞌ ri Jesús chutatabꞌexik.
2 Both the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled to each other, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and even eats with them.”
Rumal riꞌ ri e fariseos xuqujeꞌ ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xkichapleꞌj wixwatem xkibꞌij: Waꞌ we achi riꞌ kuꞌkꞌamawaꞌj xuqujeꞌ kawaꞌ kukꞌ ri aꞌjmakibꞌ.
3 Jesus spoke this parable to them, saying,
Ri Jesús kꞌut xutzijoj we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ chike:
4 “Which one of you, if he has a hundred sheep and then loses one of them, will not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the lost one until he finds it?
Qaꞌnampe che jun chiꞌwe e kꞌo jun ciento uchij, kasach kꞌu kan jun chike. ¿La man kꞌu kuꞌya kan ri junmuchꞌ bꞌelej lajuj cho ri saq, kꞌa te riꞌ katzalij chutzukuxik ri xsach kanoq, kꞌa kuꞌriqa na loq?
5 Then when he has found it, he lays it across his shoulders and rejoices.
Are kuriq ri uchij sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkotik, kukꞌyaq loq chwi utelebꞌ.
6 When he comes to the house, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.'
Katzalij loq cho ri rachoch, kuꞌmulij ri e rech taq chꞌabꞌeꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri uꞌkꞌulja ja kubꞌij chike: “Chixkiꞌkot wukꞌ, rumal xinriq ri nuchij ri xsach kanoq.”
7 I say to you that even so, there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Je xuqujeꞌ kakꞌulmataj pa ri kaj kabꞌan nimaqꞌij rumal jun ajmak ri kukꞌex ukꞌuꞌx man are ta kabꞌan nimaqꞌij chike ri junmuchꞌ bꞌelej lajuj e sukꞌ taq winaq ri man kajawataj kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx.
8 Or what woman who has ten silver coins, if she were to lose one coin, would not light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she has found it?
Xuqujeꞌ qaꞌnampe che we kꞌo jun ixoq ri kꞌo lajuj saqa pwaq rukꞌ, kutzaq kꞌu jun chike, ¿la man kꞌu kutzij jun qꞌaqꞌ riꞌ pa ri ja, xuqujeꞌ kumes ri upaja, kuchapleꞌj utzukuxik kꞌa kuriq na?
9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost.'
Are kꞌu kuriqo, kuꞌmulij kꞌu ronojel ri e rech taq chꞌabꞌeꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri uꞌkꞌulja are, kubꞌij riꞌ chike: “Chixkiꞌkot wukꞌ xinriq le nurajil le xtzaqik.”
10 Even so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Ri Dios xuqujeꞌ e rachiꞌl ri angelibꞌ kekiꞌkotik are kukꞌex ukꞌuꞌx ri jun ajmak.
11 Then Jesus said, “A certain man had two sons,
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Kꞌo jun achi, ri e kꞌo kebꞌ ralkꞌwaꞌl.
12 and the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the portion of the wealth that falls to me.' So he divided his property between them.
Ri koꞌl chike xubꞌij che ri utat: “Tat, ya la ri wechabꞌal.” Xaq jeriꞌ ri tat xujach ri umebꞌail chike ri uꞌkꞌojol.
13 Not many days later, the younger son gathered together all he owned and went to a country far away, and there he wasted all his wealth by living recklessly.
Are xikꞌow kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij, ri kꞌojolaxel xumulij ronojel ri kꞌo rukꞌ, xukꞌayij kanoq. Kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌ pa jun naj alaj tinimit, chilaꞌ xkꞌojiꞌ wi, xusachachej ronojel ri pwaq rajil ri rechabꞌal, maj pa sukꞌ ri xubꞌano.
14 Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine spread through that country, and he began to be in need.
Xa kꞌu are xsachtaj ronojel ri urajil, xpe jun nimalaj wiꞌjal pa ri tinimit riꞌ, xuchapleꞌj kꞌu numik.
15 He went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
Xuriq kꞌu jun achi, xuta uchak che. Ri achi xuya uchak ri ala, xutaq bꞌik chikiyuqꞌuxik aq cho jun saq.
16 He would gladly have eaten the carob pods that the pigs ate, because no one gave him anything.
Sibꞌalaj are kꞌu karaj kutij ri kechaꞌ ri aq, xa kꞌu maj jachin ri kayoꞌw che.
17 But when the young son came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough food, and I am here, dying from hunger!
Kꞌisbꞌal kꞌu rech xuchomaj: “Sibꞌalaj kꞌo kiwa ri rajchak ri nutat, ri in kꞌut tajin kinkam che numik waral.
18 I will leave here and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
Kintzalij waꞌ cho rachoch ri nutat, kinbꞌij waꞌ che: ‘Xinmakun cho ri Dios xuqujeꞌ cho la nutat.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired servants.”'
Man taqal ta chi chwe kabꞌij kꞌojol la chwe, bꞌana la chi kinux jun ajchak la.’”
20 So the young son left and came toward his father. While he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and he ran and embraced him and kissed him.
Xwaꞌjilik, xutaqej ri ubꞌe, xtzalij kꞌu cho rachoch ri utat. Kꞌanaj kꞌu na kꞌo wi loq, xtoqꞌobꞌax uwach are xilitaj apanoq rumal ri utat, kaxikꞌanik xuꞌkꞌulaj apanoq, xumatzej ri ukꞌojol xuqujeꞌ xutzꞌumaj.
21 The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
“Tat, ri in xinmakunik cho ri kaj xuqujeꞌ cho la, taqal ta chi chwe kabꞌij kꞌojol la chwe,” xcha ri ala.
22 The father said to his servants, 'Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet.
Are kꞌu ri tataxel aninaq xtaqan chike ri e patanil taq rech, xubꞌij: “Aninaq chikꞌama loq ri jeꞌl laj atzꞌyaq rech kukojo, xuqujeꞌ chikojo jun mulqꞌabꞌ che ri uqꞌabꞌ, xuqujeꞌ chikojo uxajabꞌ che ri raqan.
23 Then bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us celebrate with a feast!
Jiꞌkꞌama loq xuqujeꞌ chikamisaj ri chomalaj wakax rech kaqabꞌan nimaqꞌij.
24 For my son was dead, and now he is alive. He was lost, and now he is found.' Then they began to celebrate.
Rumal cher ri nukꞌojol ri xkamik, xkꞌastaj chi kꞌu na loq, waꞌ sachik, xa kꞌu xqariq na.” Xaq jeriꞌ xkichapleꞌj ubꞌanik nimaqꞌij.
25 Now his older son was out in the field. As he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
Are kꞌu ri nabꞌyal kꞌojolaxel bꞌenaq cho ri saq, are kꞌu xtzalij loq xuta ri qꞌojom rech ri xojow.
26 He called to one of the servants and asked what these things might be.
Xusikꞌij kꞌu jun chike ri patanijelabꞌ, xuta che jas tajin kakꞌulmatajik.
27 The servant said to him, 'Your brother has come home and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has returned safely.'
Xubꞌij kꞌu ri patanijel che: “Xtzalij loq ri achaqꞌ, utz uwach, rumal kꞌu rech xtaqan ri atat chukamisaxik ri chomalaj wakax.”
28 The older son was angry and would not go in, and his father came out and begged him.
Sibꞌalaj xyakataj kꞌu royawal ri nabꞌyal kꞌojolaxel man xraj ta kꞌut xok bꞌik, xel kꞌu na loq ri tataxel chutayik toqꞌobꞌ che chi kok bꞌik pa ja.
29 But the older son answered and said to his father, 'Look, these many years I slaved for you, and I never broke a rule of yours, and yet you never gave me a young goat that I might celebrate with my friends,
Ri nabꞌyal kꞌojolaxel xubꞌij che ri utat: “Xwimpe chilaꞌ la sibꞌalaj kꞌi junabꞌ nupatanim la, xa ta ne nitzꞌ inkꞌululaꞌninaq che la, xa ta kꞌu ne jun laj nukꞌisikꞌ yaꞌom la chwe rech kinbꞌan nimaqꞌij kukꞌ ri e wech taq chꞌabꞌeꞌn.
30 but when your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed for him the fattened calf.'
Are kꞌu xul we kꞌojol la riꞌ, ri xusach kan ronojel ri qꞌinomal la kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ, lal kataqan la che ukamisaxik ri chom laj wakax.”
31 The father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
Ri tataxel xubꞌij che: “Nukꞌojol, at kꞌolinaq wi at wukꞌ, ronojel ri nujastaq awe at.
32 But it was proper for us to feast and be happy, for this brother of yours was dead, and is now alive; he was lost, and has now been found.'”
Xa kꞌu rajawaxik xqabꞌan nimaqꞌij, xuqujeꞌ xujkiꞌkotik rumal cher we awachalal we xkamik, xkꞌastaj loq, pune xsach na, xqariq chi kꞌu na.”
