< Matthew 19 >

1 It came about that when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came to the region of Judea that is beyond the Jordan River.
Are xtoꞌtaj ri Jesús chubꞌixik ronojel we jastaq riꞌ, xel bꞌik pa ri Galilea, xeꞌ pa jun tinimit rech Judea, chꞌaqaꞌp che ri Jordán.
2 Great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq xeteriꞌ chirij, xuꞌkunaj konojel ri e yawabꞌibꞌ ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ.
3 Pharisees came to him, testing him, saying to him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?”
E jujun fariseos xeqet rukꞌ ri Jesús are kakaj kakikoj jun kꞌaꞌmabꞌal che, xkita che: ¿La yaꞌtal che jun achi kujach ri rixoqil rumal xapakux jastaq ri xkꞌulmatajik?
4 Jesus answered and said, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female?
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: ¿La man isikꞌim ri tzꞌibꞌatalik, pa ri majibꞌal re ronojel, ri Tikol kaj xuqujeꞌ ulew, xutik ri achi xuqujeꞌ ri ixoq?
5 He who made them also said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.'
Xuqujeꞌ xubꞌij: Rumal waꞌ ri achi kuꞌtzaq kan ri utat unan, keꞌ rukꞌ ri rixoqil rech kuꞌx xa jun winaq.
6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one tear apart.”
Xaq jeriꞌ man e kebꞌ ta chik, xane xa e jun chik. Rumal cher ri xunukꞌ ri Dios, man kakwin ta ri achi kuꞌjacho.
7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of divorce and then to send her away?”
Ri fariseos xkibꞌij che: ¿Jas kꞌu che ri Moisés pa ri taqanik ri xuya kanoq kubꞌij chi ri achi kakwinik kujach ribꞌ che ri rixoqil we kuya ri wuj che jawjeꞌ kubꞌij wi chi kakijach kibꞌ?
8 He said to them, “For your hardness of heart, Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not that way.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Ri Moisés xuya bꞌe chiꞌwe kiꞌjach ri iwixoqilal rumal cher sibꞌalaj abꞌaj ri iwanimaꞌ, man je ta kꞌu riꞌ ubꞌanik pa ri majibꞌal loq rech ronojel.
9 I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and the man who marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.”
Kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, we kꞌo jun kujach ri rixoqil, man xa ta rumal xmakun chik rukꞌ jun achi, kꞌa te riꞌ kakꞌuliꞌ rukꞌ jun ixoq chik, kamakunik, rumal e kebꞌ chi riꞌ ri rixoqil.
10 The disciples said to Jesus, “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is not good to marry.”
Ri tijoxelabꞌ xkibꞌij: We jeriꞌ kakꞌulmataj chikixoꞌl ri achi rachiꞌl ri rixoqil, are katan riꞌ man kakꞌuliꞌ ta jun.
11 But Jesus said to them, “Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those who are allowed to accept it.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Man konojel taj kakikꞌamawaꞌj we jastaq riꞌ xane xwi ri winaq ri yaꞌtal chike kakikꞌamawaꞌj.
12 For there are eunuchs who were that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this teaching, let him receive it.”
Jeriꞌ rumal cher e kꞌo winaq eunuco, kech wi pa ri kikꞌojiꞌkal, e kꞌo chi nikꞌaj xa xbꞌan eunuco chike kumal ri achyabꞌ, e kꞌo chi nikꞌaj eunuco rumal cher aꞌreꞌ xkichaꞌ ri ajawarem rech chilaꞌ chikaj. Ri karaj kukꞌamawaꞌj we riꞌ chukꞌamawaꞌj.
13 Then some little children were brought to him so that he would lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
Ri winaq xeꞌkikꞌam bꞌik akꞌalabꞌ rukꞌ ri Jesús rech kuya ri uqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kubꞌan chꞌawem pa kiwiꞌ. Ri tijoxelabꞌ kꞌut xkichapleꞌj kiyajik ri e kꞌamowinaq bꞌik ri akꞌalabꞌ.
14 But Jesus said, “Permit the little children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such ones.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Chiya bꞌe chike ri akꞌalabꞌ kepe wukꞌ, man kiꞌqꞌatej taj, rumal cher ri winaq ri je kenoꞌjin akꞌalabꞌ are ri ajawarem rech ri kaj.
15 He placed his hands on the children, and then he went away from there.
Are xtoꞌtaj chuyaꞌik ri uqꞌabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ ri akꞌalabꞌ xel bꞌik chilaꞌ.
16 Behold, a man came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Kꞌa te riꞌ jun achi xqebꞌ rukꞌ ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Ajtij, ¿jas ri utzilal ri rajawaxik kinbꞌano rech kinok pa ri jun alik kꞌaslemal? (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesus said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? Only one is good, but if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: ¿Jas che kata chwe jas riꞌ ri utzilal? Xa jun riꞌ ri utz. Chanimaj ri taqanik, we kawaj katok pa ri jun alik kꞌaslemal.
18 The man said to him, “Which commandments?” Jesus said, “Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,
Ri achi xuta che ri Jesús: ¿Jachin chike taq riꞌ ri taqanik ri kabꞌij la? Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Man katkamisan taj, man kekꞌojiꞌ ta kebꞌ awixoqil, man katelaqꞌ taj, man kabꞌan ta bꞌanoj tzij chirij jun winaq chik.
19 honor your father and your mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.”
Nim chaꞌwila ri atat anan, xuqujeꞌ chaloqꞌaj ri ajil tzꞌaqat jacha ri kabꞌan chuloqꞌaxik awibꞌ at.
20 The young man said to him, “All these things I have obeyed. What do I still need?”
Ri ala xubꞌij: Ronojel waꞌ we riꞌ nubꞌanom. ¿Jas chi jun kajawataj na?
21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: We kawaj qas at tzꞌaqat, jat jaꞌkꞌayij kanoq ronojel ri kꞌo awukꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ chaya ri pwaq chike ri e mebꞌaibꞌ, kayaꞌtaj kꞌu na aqꞌinomal pa ri kaj. Kꞌa te riꞌ chatan loq, chinatereneꞌj.
22 But when the young man heard what Jesus said, he went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.
Are xuta ri ala ri xbꞌix che, kabꞌisonik xeꞌek, rumal sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌinomal ri kꞌolik.
23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike ri utijoxelabꞌ, qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe sibꞌalaj kꞌax rokem jun qꞌinom pa ri ajawarem rech ri kaj.
24 Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
Are man kꞌax taj rokem jun kameypa ri ujolom ri bꞌaq cho ri rokik ri qꞌinom pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
25 When the disciples heard it, they were very astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?”
Ri tijoxelabꞌ xemayijanik are xkita ri xbꞌix chike, xkibꞌij: We jeriꞌ ¿jachin kꞌu riꞌ ri kakwinik kukol ribꞌ?
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Ri Jesús ko xuꞌkaꞌyej kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij chike: Ri Dios kakwinik kubꞌano ri man kakwin ta ri achi chubꞌanik.
27 Then Peter answered and said to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
Ri Pedro xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Chilampe la, uj qatzaqom kanoq ronojel rumal tereneꞌxik la. ¿Jas kꞌu kaqachꞌek uj rukꞌ we riꞌ?
28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, in the new age when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwech are kabꞌan kꞌakꞌ che ri jastaq, are kintꞌuyiꞌ na In ri in uKꞌojol ri Achi pa ri tꞌuyulibꞌal ri kajuluwik, kixtꞌuyiꞌ xuqujeꞌ na ix pa ri kabꞌlajuj tꞌuyulibꞌal, rech kiqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri e kabꞌlajuj wok winaq aꞌj Israel.
29 Every one who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or land for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Ri winaq ri xa rumal we, xutzaq kan rachoch, e rachalal, e ranabꞌ, utat unan, e ralkꞌwaꞌl xuqujeꞌ rulew, kukꞌamawaꞌj na ciento mul ukꞌaxelal xuqujeꞌ ri jun alik kꞌaslemal. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
E kꞌi chike ri e nabꞌe, kuꞌx na e kꞌisbꞌal, xuqujeꞌ e kꞌi chike ri e kꞌisbꞌal kuꞌx na e nabꞌe.
