< Matthew 10 >

1 Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out, and to heal all kinds of disease and all kinds of sickness.
Ri Jesús xuꞌmulij ri e kabꞌlajuj utijoxelabꞌ. Xuya kwinem chike chi resaxik itzel taq uxlabꞌal xuqujeꞌ chukunaxik ronojel uwach yabꞌilal.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles were these. The first, Simon (whom he also called Peter), and Andrew his brother; James son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Are waꞌ ri kibꞌiꞌ ri e kabꞌlajuj tijoxelabꞌ, ri xbꞌix taqoꞌn chike rumal ri Jesús: Simón ri xubꞌinaꞌj Pedro, ri rachalal ubꞌiꞌ Andrés; ri Jacobo xuqujeꞌ ri rachalal Juan, e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Zebedeo;
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
ri Felipe, ri Bartolomé, ri Tomás, ri Mateo ri toqꞌil alkabal, ri Jacobo ukꞌojol ri Alfeo, ri Tadeo,
4 Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who would betray him.
ri Simón ri kachiꞌl ri Cananeos, xuqujeꞌ ri Judas Iscariote ri xkꞌayin ri Jesús.
5 These twelve Jesus sent out. He instructed them and said, “Do not go to any place where Gentiles live, and do not enter any town of the Samaritans.
Ri Jesús xuꞌtaq bꞌik ri e kabꞌlajuj utijoxelabꞌ, xubꞌij chike: Man kixeꞌ taj pa ri tinimit jawjeꞌ ri e kꞌo wi ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj. Xuqujeꞌ man kixeꞌ taj pa taq ri tinimit rech Samaria.
6 Go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel;
Xane jix kukꞌ taq ri winaq ri aꞌj Israel rumal jer e kꞌo ri tinimit ri kejunumataj kukꞌ ri chij ri e sachinaq.
7 and as you go, preach and say, 'The kingdom of heaven has come near.'
Are chixeꞌek chitzijoj we tzij riꞌ: Xqebꞌ loq ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
Chiꞌkunaj ri e yawabꞌibꞌ. Chiꞌkꞌastajisaj kaminaqibꞌ. Chiꞌkunaj ri e chꞌaꞌkibꞌ, chiꞌwesaj ri itzel taq uxlabꞌal ri e kꞌo chike ri winaq. Maj pwaq kitoqꞌij rumal ubꞌanik taq we jastaq riꞌ, rumal cher maj pwaq xuta ri Dios are xuya ri ukwinem chiꞌwe.
9 Do not carry any gold, silver, or copper in your purses.
Mikꞌam bꞌik qꞌana pwaq xuqujeꞌ saqa pwaq pa ri ximbꞌal ipam.
10 Do not take a traveling bag for your journey, or an extra tunic, or sandals, or a staff, for a laborer deserves his food.
Xuqujeꞌ mikꞌam bꞌik ijastaq rech pa bꞌe, mikꞌam bꞌik ichꞌamiꞌy, mikꞌam bꞌik jukꞌulaj ixajabꞌ chik, xuqujeꞌ mikꞌam bꞌik jun wok iwatzꞌyaq chik. Rumal cher yaꞌtalik katzuq ri ajchak.
11 Whatever city or village you enter, find who is worthy in it, and stay there until you leave.
Are kixopan pa ri tinimit o pa ri leꞌaj, chitzukuj jachinaq ri kuya kuꞌlibꞌal kꞌuꞌx chiꞌwe, chixkꞌol rukꞌ pa ri rachoch, kꞌa kixel na bꞌik pa ri leꞌaj.
12 As you enter into the house, greet it.
Are kixok bꞌik pa ri ja, chiya rutzil kiwach ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ, chitzuju jaꞌmaril chike ri e kꞌo pa ri ja kꞌolibꞌal.
13 If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace come back to you.
We kataqiꞌk kakikꞌamawaꞌj jaꞌmaril ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri ja, kayaꞌtaj na riꞌ chike. We kꞌu man kataqiꞌk chike, man kakikꞌamawaꞌj ta riꞌ.
14 As for those who do not receive you or listen to your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
We man kixkꞌamawaꞌx pa jun ja o jun tinimit xuqujeꞌ man kakaj ta ri winaq kixkitatabꞌej, chitota kan ri ulew ri kꞌo che ri iwaqan, kꞌutbꞌal rech chi man xixkꞌamawaꞌx taj. Kꞌa te riꞌ chixel bꞌik chilaꞌ.
15 Truly I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi pa ri qꞌij ri kabꞌan ri kꞌisbꞌal qꞌatoj tzij, kꞌo na ri kꞌax ri kakiriq ri tinimit riꞌ, ri jeriꞌ kenoꞌjinik, choch ri xkiriq ri e tinimit Sodoma xuqujeꞌ ri Gomorra.
16 See, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
¡Qas xibꞌibꞌal wi ubꞌanik ri chak ri kixintaq bꞌik chubꞌanik! Je ta ne ri keꞌntaq bꞌik chij chikixoꞌl ri e kayoꞌt. Rumal riꞌ chikojo ri iwetaꞌmabꞌal, xuqujeꞌ qas chichomaj na rij ri jastaq jeꞌ jas ri kubꞌan ri kumatz, xuqujeꞌ rajawaxik kimochꞌ iwibꞌ jetaq ri kubꞌan ri palomax.
17 Watch out for people! They will deliver you up to councils, and they will whip you in their synagogues.
Chichajij iwibꞌ rumal cher kixjach na chkiwach ri e qꞌatal taq tzij, xuqujeꞌ kixchꞌay na pa taq ri Sinagoga.
18 Then you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
Xuqujeꞌ kixkꞌam na bꞌik chikiwach ri e nimaq taq taqanelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kixchꞌaw na chikiwach ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, xa rumal cher ix nutijoxelabꞌ.
19 When they deliver you up, do not be anxious about how or what you will speak, for what to say will be given to you in that hour.
Are kixjach cho ri qꞌatbꞌal tzij, man kakꞌaxir taj iwanimaꞌ chuchomaxik ri kibꞌij, xuqujeꞌ jas kibꞌan che ubꞌixik, rumal cher are ri Dios kabꞌin na chiꞌwe pa ri qꞌotaj, ri rajawaxik kibꞌij.
20 For it is not you who will speak, but the Spirit of your Father who will speak in you.
Man ix taj riꞌ ri kixchꞌawik, are ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel kachꞌaw na chiꞌwe.
21 Brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise up against their parents and cause them to be put to death.
Ri aꞌlaxik pa kachoch kakijach taq na kibꞌ pa kamikal. Ri e tat nan keꞌkijach na pa kamikal ri e kalkꞌwaꞌl, xuqujeꞌ ri alkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ keꞌkichꞌey na ri kitat kinan xuqujeꞌ keꞌkikamisaj na.
22 You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But whoever endures to the end, that person will be saved.
Konojel ri winaq rech uwachulew kixketzelaj na rumal cher ix nutijoxelabꞌ. We kꞌu qas kajeqiꞌ ikꞌuꞌx chwij kꞌa pa ri kꞌisbꞌal rech ri qꞌotaj, kixin kol na.
23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to the next, for truly I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man has come.
Are kixkoqataj ri winaq rech jun tinimit rech kixkimamisaj, jix chi apanoq pa jun tinimit chik. Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, in, ri in uKꞌojol ri Achi, kintzalij na loq rukꞌ ronojel ri ukwinem ri Dios, are majaꞌ kakꞌis chusolixik ronojel ri tinimit rech Israel iwumal.
24 A disciple is not greater than his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
Man are taj ri tijoxel nim uqꞌij choch ri rajtij, man are taj ri ajchak nim uqꞌij choch ri upatrón.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he should be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much worse would be the names they call the members of his household!
Ri tijoxel xaq xwi kakwinik kux junam rukꞌ ri rajtij, xuqujeꞌ ri ajchak kux na junam rukꞌ ri upatrón. We kakibꞌij ri winaq chi in ri in Itzel, ¿jas ta kꞌu mat kabꞌix na chiꞌwe ix?
26 Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known.
Man kixiꞌj ta iwibꞌ choch jun winaq chik, rumal cher ronojel ri awatalik, kilitaj na uwach, xuqujeꞌ ronojel ri xaq pa awal bꞌiꞌtal wi, ketaꞌmataj na.
27 What I tell you in the darkness, say in the daylight, and what you hear softly in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
We kinbꞌij jun jastaq chiꞌwe pa ri qꞌequꞌm, chibꞌij ix cho ri utunal ri qꞌij, we kinbꞌij jun jastaq chiꞌwe pa awal, chitzijoj ix chike konojel ri winaq rech ri uwachulew.
28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul. Instead, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Man kixiꞌj ta iwibꞌ chikiwach ri winaq ri kakikamisaj ri ityoꞌjal, are chixiꞌj iwibꞌ choch ri kꞌo ukwinem chukꞌisik tzij piꞌwiꞌ pa ri tyoꞌnel qꞌaqꞌ. (Geenna g1067)
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's knowledge.
Man sibꞌalaj ta paqal kajil ri e kebꞌ chochiꞌ, maj kꞌu jun kakam chike, we man are ri iTat kayoꞌw bꞌe che.
30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
Ri Dios retaꞌm janipa iwiꞌ ix kꞌo pa ijolom.
31 Do not fear. You are more valuable than many sparrows.
Rumal riꞌ man kixiꞌj ta iwibꞌ, rumal cher ix paqal iwajil chikiwach ri e chochiꞌ.
32 Therefore everyone who confesses me before men, I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
We kibꞌij chike nikꞌaj winaq chik chi ix ix nutijoxelabꞌ, kinbꞌij xuqujeꞌ na in che ri nuTat ri kꞌo pa ri kaj chi qas tzij wi.
33 But he who denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
We kꞌu kibꞌij chike ri winaq chi man ixtereneꞌl taq we taj, kinbꞌij xuqujeꞌ na in che ri nuTat chi qas man ixtereneꞌl taq we taj.
34 Do not think that I came to bring peace upon the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
Michomaj chi in petinaq chuyaꞌik jaꞌmaril choch we uwachulew riꞌ. Man jaꞌmaril ta ri nukꞌamom loq xane chꞌoꞌj xuqujeꞌ kꞌaxal.
35 For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
In petinaq chukojik Chꞌoꞌj chikixoꞌl ri alkꞌwaꞌlaxel xuqujeꞌ ri utat, xuqujeꞌ chꞌoꞌj chikixoꞌl ri ali xuqujeꞌ ri unan, ri alibꞌatz rukꞌ ri ralibꞌ ixoq.
36 A man's enemies will be those of his own household.
Ri ikꞌulel pa ri iwachoch na kel wi.
37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Ri are nim karil ri utat o ri unan chinuwach in, o are ne nim karil ri ukꞌojol xuqujeꞌ ri umiꞌal chinuwach in, man kataqiꞌ ta ri kixux we in.
38 He who does not pick up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
Ri man kareqaj ta ri ucheꞌ ripbꞌal xuqujeꞌ kinutereneꞌj man kataqiꞌ che kux we in.
39 He who finds his life will lose it. But he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
Ri xaq xwi kakꞌaxir ranimaꞌ che ri ukꞌaslemal, katzaqmaj na riꞌ. Are kꞌu we kuya ri ukꞌaslemal rumal we in, qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, chi kachꞌeken na.
40 He who welcomes you welcomes me, and he who welcomes me also welcomes him who sent me.
Ri winaq ri kixukꞌamawaꞌj, kinukꞌamawaꞌj xuqujeꞌ in. Ri winaq ri kinukꞌamawaꞌj in, kukꞌamawaꞌj xuqujeꞌ ri Dios, are xintaqow loq.
41 He who welcomes a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and he who welcomes a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.
Ri Dios kuya na tojbꞌal chike ri winaq ri kakikꞌamawaꞌj jun qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios cho ri kachoch, rumal chi ri qꞌalajisal tzij, utzij ri Dios kubꞌij. Ri tojbꞌal junam riꞌ rukꞌ ri kuya ri Dios chike ri e qꞌalajisal taq tzij.
42 Whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, truly I say to you, he will in no way lose his reward.”
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, man kasachan ta che ri Dios kutoj ukꞌaxel juqubꞌ joron, ri kasipax chike ri e tereneꞌl taq re, pune man nim taj kakaꞌyik.
