Luke 18
1 He also taught them by a parable that they must always pray and never lose heart.
Ri Jesús xutzijoj jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chike ri utijoxelabꞌ chukꞌutik chi sibꞌalaj choqꞌaqꞌ wi kakibꞌan chꞌawem man kakꞌis taj ta kikꞌuꞌx.
2 "In a certain town," He said, "there was a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for man.
Xubꞌij kꞌu chike: Kꞌo jun qꞌatal tzij pa jun tinimit ri man kuxiꞌj ta ribꞌ cho ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ man kuꞌnimaj ta ri winaq.
3 And in the same town was a widow who repeatedly came and entreated him, saying, "'Give me justice and stop my oppressor.'
Pa ri tinimit xuqujeꞌ kꞌo jun malkaꞌn ixoq ri kꞌo jun uchꞌoꞌj, xeꞌ kꞌu rukꞌ ri qꞌatal tzij chutayik chi kuqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri ukꞌulel.
4 "For a time he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, "'Though I have neither reverence for God nor respect for man,
Pune naj qꞌotaj man xraj taj xubꞌan ri qꞌatoj tzij, kꞌisbꞌal kꞌu rech xubꞌij: “Pune man kinxiꞌj ta wibꞌ cho ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ man keꞌ ta nukꞌuꞌx rukꞌ jun chike.
5 yet because she annoys me I will give her justice, to prevent her from constantly coming to pester me.'"
Xa kꞌu rumal man kel ta we ixoq riꞌ wukꞌ, kinbꞌan waꞌ ri qꞌatoj tzij, rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ kinqꞌiꞌtaj are kape sibꞌalaj kꞌi mul chiwilik.”
6 And the Lord said, "Hear those words of the unjust judge.
Xubꞌij kꞌu ri Ajawxel Jesús: Qas kichomaj rij ri xubꞌij ri itzel qꞌatal tzij.
7 And will not God avenge the wrongs of His own People who cry aloud to Him day and night, although He seems slow in taking action on their behalf?
¿La man kꞌu kuqꞌat tzij ri Dios kukꞌ ri winaq ri uchaꞌom, we chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ kechꞌaw rukꞌ? ¿La kꞌamaꞌtam ta kꞌu riꞌ kutzalij uwach ri kichꞌawem?
8 Yes, He will soon avenge their wrongs. Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?"
Qas kubꞌan wi na riꞌ ri qꞌatoj tzij pa kiwiꞌ aninaq, pune jeriꞌ are kape ri Ukꞌojol ri Achi, ¿la kulu winaq ri kuꞌl kikꞌuꞌx che ri Dios?
9 And to some who relied on themselves as being righteous men, and looked down upon all others, He addressed this parable.
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun winaq ri kuꞌl kikꞌuꞌx chibꞌil taq kibꞌ, e sukꞌ kakinaꞌo, kaketzelaj kiwach ri e nikꞌaj winaq chik. Rumal riꞌ ri Jesús xutzijoj jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chike:
10 "Two men went up to the Temple to pray," He said; "one being a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
E kꞌo kebꞌ achyabꞌ, xebꞌe pa ri Templo chubꞌanik chꞌawem, ri jun fariseo, ri jun chik jun toqꞌil alkabal.
11 The Pharisee, standing erect, prayed as follows by himself: "'O God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people--I am not a thief nor a cheat nor an adulterer, nor do I even resemble this tax-gatherer.
Are xubꞌan chꞌawem ri fariseo xubꞌij: “Kintyoxin che la o Dios, rumal man in junam ta kukꞌ ri eleqꞌomabꞌ taq achyabꞌ, e bꞌanal taq kꞌax, e kakabꞌ kixoqil, xuqujeꞌ man in junam ta rukꞌ we achi riꞌ we toqꞌil alkabal.
12 I fast twice a week. I pay the tithe on all my gains.'
Ri in kinqꞌip wibꞌ che nuwaꞌim kebꞌ mul pa wuqubꞌ qꞌij, xuqujeꞌ kinya ri ulajujil rech ronojel ri nuchꞌekoj.”
13 "But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not so much as lift his eyes to Heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "'O God, be reconciled to me, sinner that I am.'
Are kꞌu ri toqꞌil alkabal naj xkanaj wi kanoq, xa ta ne kuwaꞌjilisaj ri uwach cho ri kaj, kutꞌikitaꞌ ri uwach ukꞌuꞌx xubꞌij: “Cheꞌl kꞌuꞌx la chwe o Dios, wetaꞌm chi in ajmak.”
14 "I tell you that this man went home more thoroughly absolved from guilt than the other; for every one who uplifts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be uplifted."
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi we achi riꞌ, sukꞌ ranimaꞌ xtzalij cho rachoch man je ta kꞌu ri fariseo, rumal iwetaꞌm chi xapachin ri kunimarisaj ribꞌ kanitzꞌarisax na uqꞌij, xapachin xuqujeꞌ ri kumochꞌ ribꞌ kanimarisax na uqꞌij.
15 On one occasion people also brought with them their infants, for Him to touch them; but the disciples, noticing this, proceeded to find fault with them.
Xekꞌam kꞌu bꞌik akꞌalabꞌ cho ri Jesús rech kuya ri uqꞌabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ. Are xkil ri tijoxelabꞌ, xeꞌkiyaj ri e kꞌamowinaq bꞌik.
16 Jesus however called the infants to Him. "Let the little children come to me," He said; "do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.
Ri Jesús kꞌut xuꞌsikꞌij ri akꞌalabꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij chike ri winaq: Chiya bꞌe chike ri akꞌalabꞌ kepe wukꞌ, man kiꞌqꞌil taj, rumal chi are ajchoqꞌe ri ajawarem rech ri Dios ri winaq ri kakubꞌiꞌ kikꞌuꞌx jetaq ri akꞌalabꞌ.
17 I tell you in solemn truth that, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it."
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, ri man kukꞌamawaꞌj ta ri ajawarem rech ri Dios jetaq ri kubꞌan jun laj akꞌal, man kwinel ta riꞌ kok chilaꞌ.
18 The question was put to Him by a Ruler: "Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
Jun chike ri kꞌamal bꞌe xuta che ri Jesús: Utz laj ajtij, ¿jas rajawaxik kinbꞌano chi rechabꞌexik ri jun alik kꞌaslemal? (aiōnios g166)
19 "Why do you call me good?" replied Jesus; "there is no one good but One, namely God.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: ¿Jas che kabꞌij chi in utz? Man kꞌo ta chi jun winaq ri utz, xwi ri Dios.
20 You know the Commandments: 'Do not commit adultery;' 'Do not murder;' 'Do not steal;' 'Do not lie in giving evidence;' 'Honour thy father and thy mother.'"
Awetaꞌm ri kubꞌij ri taqanik: man katzukuj ta chi jun awixoqil, man kabꞌan ta kamisanik, man katelaqꞌ taj, man kabꞌan ta bꞌanoj tzij chirij jun winaq chik, xuqujeꞌ chaꞌnimaj ri atat anan.
21 "All of those," he replied, "I have kept from my youth."
Ri achi xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Pa ri walkꞌaꞌlal numajim la unimaxik waꞌ we ri, kꞌa xaq jeꞌ ne kinnimaj kamik.
22 On receiving this answer Jesus said to him, "There is still one thing wanting in you. Sell everything you possess and give the money to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and then come, follow me."
Are xuta ri Jesús ri xubꞌij ri achi che, xubꞌij: Xa chi jun jastaq kajawataj chawe, chakꞌayij kan ronojel ri kꞌo awukꞌ. Kꞌa te riꞌ chajacha ri rajil chike ri e mebꞌaibꞌ, kayaꞌtaj kꞌu na aqꞌinomal chilaꞌ chikaj. Kꞌa te riꞌ chatan loq chinatereneꞌj.
23 But on hearing these words he was deeply sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
Are xutabꞌej rech ri achi, xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ri ranimaꞌ, rumal sibꞌalaj qꞌinom.
24 Jesus saw his sorrow, and said, "With how hard a struggle do the possessors of riches ever enter the Kingdom of God!
Are xril ri Jesús chi xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ranimaꞌ xubꞌij: Sibꞌalaj kꞌax okem ke ri qꞌinomabꞌ pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
25 Why, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
Are man kꞌax taj kubꞌan jun kamey kikꞌow pa ri uteqꞌal ri bꞌaq rech tꞌisoꞌmabꞌal cho ri jun qꞌinom ri karaj kok pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
26 "Who then can be saved?" exclaimed the hearers.
Ri winaq ri xetow ri xubꞌij ri Jesús, xkibꞌij: ¿Jachin kꞌu riꞌ kakwin chukolik ribꞌ?
27 "Things impossible with man," He replied, "are possible with God."
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri Dios kwinel chubꞌanik ri man kakwin ta ri achi che.
28 Then Peter said, "See, we have given up our homes and have followed you."
Ri Pedro xubꞌij che: Chilampe la, ri uj xqaya kan ronojel ri qajastaq rumal tereneꞌxik la.
29 "I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that there is no one who has left house or wife, or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of God's Kingdom,
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri winaq ri xuya kan rachoch, rixoqil, e rachalal, utat unan xuqujeꞌ e ralkꞌwaꞌl
31 Then He drew the Twelve to Him and said, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written in the Prophets which refers to the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
Ri Jesús xukꞌam bꞌik ri kabꞌlajuj utijoxelabꞌ xaq kitukel, xubꞌij chike: Chanim kujeꞌ pa Jerusalén, chilaꞌ kakꞌulmataj wi ronojel ri xkitzꞌibꞌaj ri e qꞌalajisal taq tzij rech ri Dios kakꞌulmataj na rukꞌ ri Ukꞌojol ri Achi.
32 For He will be given up to the Gentiles, and be mocked, outraged and spit upon.
Kajach na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, kayoqꞌ na, kabꞌix na kꞌax taq tzij che, kachubꞌax na upalaj.
33 They will scourge Him and put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise to life again."
Karapux na, xuqujeꞌ kakamisax na, xa kꞌu kakꞌastaj na churox qꞌij.
34 Nothing of this did they understand. The words were a mystery to them, nor could they see what He meant.
Ri tijoxelabꞌ man xkichꞌobꞌ taj ri xbꞌix chike. Rumal cher xawax chikiwach ri kel kubꞌij we jastaq riꞌ.
35 As Jesus came near to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging.
Are xopan ri Jesús chuxukut ri tinimit Jericó, kꞌo jun moy tꞌuyul chuchiꞌ ri bꞌe, kuta ulimoxna.
36 He heard a crowd of people going past, and inquired what it all meant.
Are xuto chi e kꞌi winaq tajin kiꞌkꞌowik, xuta chike ri winaq jas ri tajin kakꞌulmatajik.
37 "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by," they told him.
Ri winaq xkibꞌij che: Are ri Jesús aj Nazaret ri tajin kikꞌow waral.
38 Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me."
Ri moy xuraqaqej uchiꞌ, xubꞌij: Jesús, Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri David, cheꞌl kuꞌx la chwe.
39 Those in front reproved him and tried to silence him; but he continued shouting, louder than ever, "Son of David, take pity on me."
Ri winaq ri e nabꞌe apanoq choch xkibꞌij che chi katanik, xa kꞌu kꞌo na ri xubꞌan churaqik uchiꞌ: Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri David, che la kuꞌx la chwe.
40 At length Jesus stopped and desired them to bring the man to Him; and when he had come close to Him He asked him,
Xtakꞌiꞌ kꞌu ri Jesús, xtaqan chukꞌamik apanoq ri achi. Are xqet chuxukut, ri Jesús xuta che:
41 "What shall I do for you?" "Sir," he replied, "let me recover my sight."
¿Jas kawaj kinbꞌan chawe? Ri moy xubꞌij: Ajawxel, kawaj kinkaꞌyik.
42 "Recover your sight," said Jesus: "your faith has cured you."
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Chakꞌamawaꞌj ri akaꞌyebꞌal. Xatutzir rumal ri akojobꞌal.
43 No sooner were the words spoken than the man regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.
Aninaq xkaꞌyik, xteriꞌ kꞌu chirij ri Jesús, kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios, konojel kꞌu ri winaq ri xkilo xkiqꞌijilaꞌj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios.
