< Acts 21 >
1 When, at last, we had torn ourselves away and had set sail, we ran in a straight course to Cos; the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
Are xqajach qibꞌ kukꞌ ri alaxik, xujok pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ jaꞌ, sukꞌum xujeꞌ pa leꞌaj sutital che jaꞌ ubꞌiꞌnam Cos. Chukabꞌ qꞌij xujqꞌax chik pa ri tinimit Rodas, kꞌa te riꞌ xujeꞌ pa ri tinimit Pátara.
2 Finding a ship bound for Phoenicia, we went on board and put to sea.
Xqariq kꞌu jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal ri kꞌo pa Pátara ri keꞌ pa Fenicia, xujeꞌ chupam.
3 After sighting Cyprus and leaving that island on our left, we continued our voyage to Syria and put in at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
Are xujqꞌax pa ri plo, xqil apanoq pa ri qamox ri chꞌaqaꞌp ulew sutital che jaꞌ ubꞌiꞌ Chipre, xqataqej ri qabꞌe, xujopan je laꞌ pa Tiro ri kꞌo pa Siria xujikꞌow na chilaꞌ rumal chi ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal xuya na nikꞌaj jastaq chilaꞌ.
4 Having searched for the disciples and found them, we stayed at Tyre for seven days; and, taught by the Spirit, they repeatedly urged Paul not to proceed to Jerusalem.
Xeꞌqariq kꞌu jujun kojonelabꞌ chilaꞌ, xujkanaj kan wuqubꞌ qꞌij kukꞌ. E kꞌo kꞌu e kojonelabꞌ ri xkiqꞌalajisaj jastaq ri xubꞌij ri Uxlabꞌixel chike, rumal riꞌ xkibꞌij che ri Pablo chi man keꞌ ta pa ri tinimit Jerusalén.
5 When, however, our time was up, we left and went on our way, all the disciples and their wives and children coming to see us off. Then, after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
Are xtzꞌaqat wuqubꞌ qꞌij uj kꞌo kukꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ, xujel bꞌik pa ri tinimit Tiro. Konojel ri kojonelabꞌ, ri achyabꞌ, ri e kixoqil, xuqujeꞌ ri e kalkꞌwaꞌl xujeꞌkijacha kanoq. Are xujopan chuchiꞌ ri plo xujxukiꞌk, xqbꞌan chꞌawem cho ri Dios.
6 we took leave of one another; and we went on board, while they returned home.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌqamatzej kanoq kꞌa te riꞌ xujtzalij pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal, ri aꞌlaxik kꞌut xetzalij kan cho kachoch.
7 As for us, our voyage was over when having sailed from Tyre we reached Ptolemais. here we inquired after the welfare of the brethren, and remained a day with them.
Ri uj xqataqej ri qabꞌe pa ri plo, qelik loq pa ri tinimit Tiro xujopan pa ri tinimit Tolemaida. Xqaya rutzil kiwach ri qachalal ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ xuqujeꞌ xujkanaj kan jun qꞌij kukꞌ.
8 On the morrow we left Ptolemais and went on to Caesarea, where we came to the house of Philip the Evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
Chukabꞌ qꞌij ri Pablo xuqujeꞌ ri uj xujel bꞌik pa Tolemaida, xujeꞌ pa ri tinimit Cesarea, are uj kꞌo chi chilaꞌ xujeꞌ cho rachoch ri Felipe, tzijol rech ri Utz laj uTzij ri Dios, jun chike ri wuqubꞌ patanijelabꞌ ri xechaꞌ pa Jerusalén.
9 Now Philip had four unmarried daughters who were prophetesses;
Ri Felipe e kꞌo kajibꞌ umiꞌal ri man e kꞌulan taj. We alitomabꞌ riꞌ e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios.
10 and during our somewhat lengthy stay a Prophet of the name of Agabus came down from Judaea.
Kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij chik uj kꞌo chilaꞌ, are xopan jun qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij ri Dios, ubꞌiꞌ Agabo upetik pa ri tinimit Judea.
11 When he arrived he took Paul's loincloth, and bound his own feet and arms with it, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, 'So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the owner of this loincloth, and will hand him over to the Gentiles.'"
Xujuchꞌabꞌej, kꞌa te riꞌ xukꞌam ri ximbꞌal upam ri Pablo, xuxim ri raqan xuqujeꞌ ri uqꞌabꞌ rukꞌ, xubꞌij: Ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel kubꞌij are kopan ri ajchoqꞌe we pas riꞌ pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, jewaꞌ kakibꞌan na ri winaq aꞌj Israel chuyutik. Kakijach na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
12 As soon as we heard these words, both we and the brethren at Caesarea entreated Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
Are xqata we tzij riꞌ, uj e qachiꞌl ri winaq aꞌj Cesarea xqabꞌochiꞌj ri Pablo rech man keꞌ ta pa Jerusalén.
13 His reply was, "What can you mean by thus breaking my heart with your grief? Why, as for me, I am ready not only to go to Jerusalem and be put in chains, but even to die there for the sake of the Lord Jesus."
Ri Pablo kꞌut xubꞌij: ¿Jas che kixoqꞌik, xaq kiyak nubꞌis? Ri in nujachom wibꞌ, man xwi taj pa yutik, xane nujachom wibꞌ pa kamikal rumal rech ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel je laꞌ pa ri tinimit Jerusalén.
14 So when he was not to be dissuaded, we ceased remonstrating with him and said, "The Lord's will be done!"
Man xujkwin ta kꞌut xqaqꞌatej, xaq xqaya chi jeriꞌ, Xwi xqabꞌij che: ¡Chubꞌana ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Ajawxel awukꞌ!
15 A few days afterwards we loaded our baggage-cattle and continued our journey to Jerusalem.
Are ikꞌowinaq chi kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij, xqasukꞌumaj ri qajastaq xujeꞌ pa ri tinimit Jerusalén.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also joined our party, and brought with them Mnason, a Cyprian, one of the early disciples, at whose house we were to lodge.
Xujkachiꞌlaj bꞌik jujun kojonelabꞌ aꞌj Cesarea. Jun chike ubꞌiꞌ Mnasón kel pa Chipre. Ojer laj kojonel, qachomam kꞌut chi kujkanaj kan rukꞌ cho ri rachoch.
17 At length we reached Jerusalem, and there the brethren gave us a hearty welcome.
Are xujopan pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, xujkikꞌulaj ri qachalal, sibꞌalaj xekiꞌkot qukꞌ.
18 On the following day we went with Paul to call on James, and all the Elders of the Church came also.
Chukabꞌ qꞌij xeꞌ ri Pablo qukꞌ, xujeꞌ kꞌu chuchꞌabꞌexik ri Jacobo. Kimulim kꞌu kibꞌ konojel ri kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri kojonelabꞌ rech Jerusalén chilaꞌ.
19 After exchanging friendly greetings, Paul told in detail all that God had done among the Gentiles through his instrumentality.
Ri Pablo xuya rutzil kiwach konojel, kꞌa te riꞌ xutzijoj ronojel ri ubꞌanom ri Dios chkixoꞌl ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
20 And they, when they had heard his statement, gave the glory to God. Then they said, "You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of Jews there are among those who have accepted the faith, and they are all zealous upholders of the Law.
Are xkita ri xubꞌij, xkiya uqꞌij ri Dios. Xkibꞌij che ri Pablo: Jeꞌ, qachalal. Pune ta ne jeriꞌ, e kꞌi mil winaq aꞌj Israel e kojoninaq. Kakibꞌij chi rajawaxik wi kaqataqej u ubꞌanik ri kubꞌij ri utaqanik ri Moisés.
21 Now what they have been repeatedly told about you is that you teach all the Jews among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, and that you forbid them to circumcise their children or observe old-established customs.
Bꞌiꞌtal kꞌu chike we winaq riꞌ chi ri at tajin kaꞌtijoj konojel ri winaq aꞌj Israel chi man rajawaxik ta chik keꞌniman che ri xtaqan wi ri qamam Moisés. Xuqujeꞌ kakibꞌij chi kabꞌij chi man rajawaxik taj kokisax ketal xuqujeꞌ man rajawaxik taj kakaꞌn ri naqꞌatajibꞌal ke ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
22 What then ought you to do? They are sure to hear that you have come to Jerusalem;
¿Jas kꞌu kaqabꞌano? Kakimulij na kibꞌ riꞌ ri winaq are kakito chi at ulinaq waral.
23 so do this which we now tell you. We have four men here who have a vow resting on them.
Are utz na we kabꞌan ri kaqabꞌij: e kꞌo kajibꞌ achyabꞌ qukꞌ ri kakaꞌn na jas ri xkitzuj u ubꞌanik cho ri Dios.
24 Associate with these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they can shave their heads. Then everybody will know that there is no truth in these stories about you, but that in your own actions you yourself scrupulously obey the Law.
Chaꞌkꞌama bꞌik we achyabꞌ riꞌ awukꞌ pa ri Templo, are kakesaj ri awas chikij, chabꞌana awe kukꞌ. Chaya ri pwaq ri rajawaxik chike rech kekwinik kakisokaj ri kiwiꞌ rech konojel kakilo chi man qas tzij ta riꞌ ri kabꞌix chawe, xane at kanimaj ri kubꞌij ri utaqanik ri Moisés.
25 But as for the Gentiles who have accepted the faith, we have communicated to them our decision that they are carefully to abstain from anything sacrificed to an idol, from blood, from what is strangled, and from fornication."
Are kꞌu ri winaq ri e kojoninaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, qatzꞌibꞌam bꞌik wuj chike, qabꞌim chike chi rajawaxik man kakitij ta ri tiꞌj ri yoꞌm chkiwach taq tyox ri xa e bꞌanom kumal winaq, man kakitij ta kikꞌ, man kakitij ta ki tiꞌjol awaj e jitzꞌatalik, xuqujeꞌ man kakaꞌn ta mak kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ.
26 So Paul associated with the men; and the next day, having purified himself with them, he went into the Temple, giving every one to understand that the days of their purification were finished, and there he remained until the sacrifice for each of them was offered.
Xpe kꞌu ri Pablo, xuꞌkꞌam bꞌik kajibꞌ achyabꞌ rukꞌ. Chukabꞌ qꞌij xresaj ri awas chirij junam kukꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xok pa ri Templo chubꞌixik chike janipa qꞌij karaj na chi resaxik ri awas chikij, are kakitzuj aꞌwaj chi kijujunal cho ri Dios.
27 But, when the seven days were nearly over, the Jews from the province of Asia, having seen Paul in the Temple, set about rousing the fury of all the people against him.
Jubꞌiqꞌ kꞌu karaj katzꞌaqat ri wuqubꞌ qꞌij, e kꞌo jujun winaq aꞌj Israel e petinaq pa ri tinimit Asia ri xkil ri Pablo kꞌo pa ri Templo. Xeꞌkimulij ri winaq, xkikoj kikꞌuꞌx,
28 They laid hands on him, crying out, "Men of Israel, help! help! This is the man who goes everywhere preaching to everybody against the Jewish people and the Law and this place. And besides, he has even brought Gentiles into the Temple and has desecrated this holy place."
xkiraq kichiꞌ, xkibꞌij: ¡Achyabꞌ aꞌj Israel! ¡Chujitoꞌ! We achi riꞌ kawaꞌkat pa ronojel taq ri tinimit. Kuya kꞌutuꞌn chike ri winaq puꞌwi ri man utz taj kakibꞌan ri qawinaqil, chrij ri utaqanik ri Moisés, xuqujeꞌ chrij we loqꞌalaj ja riꞌ. Uꞌkꞌamom kꞌu bꞌik jujun winaq aꞌj Grecia ri man e qawinaqil taj pa ri Templo, ubꞌanom ri awas ubꞌanik pa we loqꞌalaj kꞌolibꞌal riꞌ.
29 (For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and imagined that Paul had brought him into the Temple.)
Je xkibꞌij waꞌ rumal cher kilom chi ri Pablo kꞌo pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, rachiꞌl ri Trófimo aj Éfeso, man aj Israel taj. Pa kikꞌuꞌx kꞌut chi xukꞌam bꞌik pa ri Templo.
30 The excitement spread through the whole city, and the people rushed in crowds to the Temple, and there laid hold of Paul and began to drag him out; and the Temple gates were immediately closed.
Konojel ri winaq pa ri tinimit Jerusalén xeꞌl chꞌuꞌj. Aninaq xkimulij kibꞌ, xkichap ri Pablo, xkichararej loq chupam ri Templo, xkitzꞌapij kꞌu kan ri uchiꞌ ri tinimit.
31 But while they were trying to kill Paul, word was taken up to the Tribune in command of the battalion, that all Jerusalem was in a ferment.
Tajin kakitzukuj jas kakibꞌan chukamisaxik are xuta ri achi, ri kinimal ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit aꞌj Roma, chi konojel ri winaq pa ri tinimit Jerusalén e chꞌuꞌjarinaq.
32 He instantly sent for a few soldiers and their officers, and came down among the people with all speed. At the sight of the Tribune and the troops they ceased beating Paul.
Ri nim taqanel riꞌ xuꞌmulij jujun aꞌj chꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit, xuqujeꞌ jujun chike ri kinimal taq ri aꞌj chꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit, aninaq xebꞌe jawjeꞌ e kꞌo wi ri winaq. Are xkil ri winaq ri nim taqanel e rachiꞌl ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit, xkitanabꞌaꞌ uchꞌayik ri Pablo.
33 Then the Tribune, making his way to him, arrested him, and, having ordered him to be secured with two chains, proceeded to ask who he was and what he had been doing.
Xpe kꞌu ri achi riꞌ ri kataqan pa kiwiꞌ ri aꞌj ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit, xuꞌchapa ri Pablo. Kꞌa te riꞌ xtaqan chuyutik rukꞌ kebꞌ chꞌichꞌ ximbꞌal. Xuta kꞌu chike ri winaq jachin riꞌ ri Pablo, xuqujeꞌ jas ri umak.
34 Some of the crowd shouted one accusation against Paul and some another, until, as the uproar made it impossible for the truth to be ascertained with certainty, the Tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks.
Are kꞌu ri winaq xkiraq kichiꞌ, jaljoj ri kakibꞌij. Ri achi man xkwin ta chuchꞌobꞌik jas ri xkꞌulmatajik rumal cher man kꞌyaqal ta ri kakibꞌij. Xtaqan kꞌu bꞌik chukꞌamik ri Pablo pa ri ja ri e kꞌo wi ri aꞌj ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit.
35 When Paul was going up the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob;
Are xoꞌpan cho taq ri wiq rech ri ja, ri aꞌj ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit ri e kꞌamowinaq bꞌik ri Pablo xkitelej, xkipaqabꞌaꞌ, rumal cher konojel ri winaq kakaj kakesaj kan ri Pablo rech kakichꞌayo.
36 for the whole mass of the people pressed on in the rear, shouting, "Away with him!"
Konojel kꞌu ri winaq ri e teren chikij kakiraq kichiꞌ, kakibꞌij: ¡Kamisaxoq!
37 When he was about to be taken into the barracks, Paul said to the Tribune, "May I speak to you?" "Do you know Greek?" the Tribune asked.
Are xkꞌam bꞌik ri Pablo pa ri ja ri e kꞌo wi ri aꞌj ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit, xuta che ri achi ri kataqan pa kiwiꞌ, xubꞌij: ¿La utz kintzijon jubꞌiqꞌ ukꞌ la? Ri achi xuta che, xubꞌij: ¿La awetaꞌm katchꞌaw pa chꞌabꞌal griego?
38 "Are you not the Egyptian who some years ago excited the riot of the 4,000 cut-throats, and led them out into the Desert?"
¿La man at riꞌ ri achi, ri at aj Egipto, ri chi kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij xwaꞌjil chirij ri qꞌatbꞌal tzij, kꞌa te riꞌ xuꞌmulij kajibꞌ mil achyabꞌ kamisanelabꞌ, xukꞌam bꞌik pa ri juyubꞌ ri katzꞌinowik?
39 "I am a Jew," replied Paul, "belonging to Tarsus in Cilicia, and am a citizen of no unimportant city. Give me leave, I pray you, to speak to the people."
Xubꞌij kꞌu ri Pablo che: In in jun chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel, xinalax pa ri tinimit Tarso, jun tinimit rech Cilicia ri nim u ubꞌanik. Bꞌana la jun toqꞌobꞌ chwe, ya la bꞌe chwe kenchꞌabꞌej ri winaq.
40 So with his permission Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people to be quiet; and when there was perfect silence he addressed them in Hebrew.
Ri achi xuya bꞌe che ri Pablo, ri Pablo kꞌut xtakꞌiꞌ puꞌwiꞌ taq ri wiq, xuyak ri uqꞌabꞌ chkiwach ri winaq rech man kechꞌaw taj. Are xetaniꞌ ri winaq, ri Pablo xuchꞌabꞌej pa ri tzijobꞌal hebreo, xubꞌij:
