Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being Governor of Judaea, Herod Tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip Tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilene,
Pa ri roꞌlajuj junabꞌ rech ri utaqanik ri Tiberio César, che riꞌ are taqanel ri Poncio Pilato pa Judea. Ri Herodes are nim taqanel pa Galilea. Ri Felipe rachalal ri Herodes are qꞌatal tzij pa Iturea xuqujeꞌ pa Traconite. Ri Lisanias are qꞌatal tzij pa ri tinimit Abilinia.
2 during the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, a message from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the Desert.
Ri Anás rachiꞌl ri Caifás are kinimaꞌqil ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel. Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ, ri utzij ri Dios xtaq che ri Juan ri ukꞌojol ri Zacarías, are kꞌo pa ri katzꞌinow ulew.
3 John went into all the district about the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for the forgiveness of sins;
Ri Juan xbꞌin chunaqaj ri nimaꞌ Jordán, xutzijoj chike ri winaq chi utz kabꞌan kiqasanaꞌ rech kakiqꞌalajisaj chi xkikꞌex kanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ ketzalij rukꞌ ri Dios, rech kakuyutaj ri kimak.
4 as it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one crying aloud! 'In the Desert prepare ye a road for the Lord: make His highway straight.
Ri Isaías xutzijoj la rij ri Juan are xubꞌij: Uchꞌabꞌal jun winaq ri kuraq uchiꞌ pa ri katzꞌinow ulew, kubꞌij: Chisukꞌumaj ri ubꞌe ri Ajawxel, chibꞌana sukꞌum che.
5 Every ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill levelled down, the crooked places shall be turned into straight roads, and the rugged ways into smooth;
Kenojisax na ri siwan, konojel ri juyubꞌ kuꞌx na leaꞌnik, ri kotokaꞌq taq bꞌe kesukꞌumax na xuqujeꞌ ri abꞌaj taq bꞌe kechꞌajchꞌobꞌex na.
6 and then shall all mankind see God's salvation.'"
Konojel kakil na ri koltajem ri kutaq loq ri Dios.
7 Accordingly John used to say to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, "O vipers' brood, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Sibꞌalaj kꞌi winaq xoꞌpan rukꞌ ri Juan rech kubꞌan kiqasanaꞌ. Ri Juan xubꞌij chike: Kijaꞌl taq kumatz, ¿jachin xbꞌin chiꞌwe chi kixkwinik kixanimaj choch ri rayowal ri Dios ri kape na?
8 Live lives which shall prove your change of heart; and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our forefather,' for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones.
Qas utz chixnoꞌjinoq rech qas kaqꞌalajinik chi qas xikꞌex ikꞌuꞌx. Man kixkwin ta kꞌut kibꞌij: “Are qatat ri Abraham.” Rumal kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri Dios kakwinik kubꞌano chi kekꞌiy ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Abraham chike we abꞌaj riꞌ.
9 And even now the axe is lying at the root of the trees, so that every tree which fails to yield good fruit will quickly be hewn down and thrown into the fire."
Ri ikaj xaq yaꞌtal chik rukꞌ ri ukꞌaꞌmalil ri cheꞌ. Ronojel kꞌu cheꞌ ri man kuya ta uwach kaqasax na, xuqujeꞌ kakꞌyaq na bꞌik pa ri qꞌaqꞌ.
10 The crowds repeatedly asked him, "What then are we to do?"
Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq xkibꞌij: ¿Jas rajawaxik kaqabꞌano?
11 "Let the man who has two coats," he answered, "give one to the man who has none; and let the man who has food share it with others."
Ri Juan, xubꞌij chike: We kꞌo kebꞌ akamiꞌx, chaya jun rech ri maj rech. We kꞌo awa, chaya ke ri kanumik.
12 There came also a party of tax-gatherers to be baptized, and they asked him, "Rabbi, what are we to do?"
Xuqujeꞌ xoꞌpan ri toqꞌil taq alkabal rech kabꞌan kiqasanaꞌ, xkita che ri Juan: Ajtij, ¿jas rajawaxik kaqabꞌano?
13 "Do not exact more than the legal amount," he replied.
Ri Juan xubꞌij chike: Man kitoqꞌij ta uwiꞌ ri alkabal ri ix taqom chutoqꞌixik.
14 The soldiers also once and again inquired of him, "And we, what are we to do?" His answer was, "Neither intimidate any one nor lay false charges; and be content with your pay."
Ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit xkibꞌij: ¿Jas rajawaxik kaqabꞌan uj? Ri Juan xubꞌij chike: Man kitoqꞌij ta pwaq chike ri winaq, man kibꞌan ta bꞌanoj tzij chikij ri winaq ri maj kimak, kuꞌl ikꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ri tojbꞌal iwe.
15 And while the people were in suspense and all were debating in their minds whether John might possibly be the Anointed One,
Rumal kꞌu cher ri winaq kayeꞌm ri upetibꞌal ri Mesías are kakaj kaketaꞌmaj we are Mesías ri Juan.
16 he answered the question by saying to them all, "As for me, I am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose very sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten: He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Ri Juan xutzalij uwach ri kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ xubꞌij: In kinbꞌan iqasanaꞌ rukꞌ jaꞌ, kape kꞌu na jun ri nim reqeleꞌn chinuwach in, man taqal ta chwe kinux jun patanijel, xuqujeꞌ man taqal ta chwe kinkir ri jatꞌibꞌal rech ri uxajabꞌ. Areꞌ kubꞌan iqasanaꞌ rukꞌ ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ qꞌaqꞌ.
17 His winnowing-shovel is in His hand to clear out His threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into His storehouse; but the chaff He will burn up in fire unquenchable."
Areꞌ xaq rayeꞌm kujosqꞌij ri tiriko, rukꞌ ri uchaꞌbꞌal. Xuqujeꞌ kumulij bꞌik ri utiriko, kuya pa ri utarroz. Kuporoj na ri pajo pa jun qꞌaqꞌ ri maj ukꞌisik.
18 With many exhortations besides these he declared the Good News to the people.
Sibꞌalaj kꞌi ri xubꞌan ri Juan chuqꞌalajisaxik chike ri winaq ri utz laj taq tzij.
19 But Herod the Tetrarch, being repeatedly rebuked by him about Herodias his brother's wife, and about all the wicked deeds that he had done,
Ri Juan xuqujeꞌ xuyaj ri Herodes Antipas chikiwach konojel ri winaq rumal xkꞌuliꞌk rukꞌ ri Herodías, rixoqil ri rachalal, je xuqujeꞌ rumal kꞌi itzel taq jastaq ri ubꞌanom,
20 now added this to crown all the rest, that he threw John into prison.
rumal riꞌ ri Herodes xukoj ri Juan pa cheꞌ, xnimar ri umak.
21 Now when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the sky opened,
Jun qꞌijal, ri Juan are tajin kubꞌan kiqasanaꞌ e kꞌi winaq, xubꞌan uqasanaꞌ ri Jesús. Are tajin kubꞌan chꞌawem ri Jesús xjaqataj ri kaj.
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in bodily shape, like a dove, upon Him, and a voice came from Heaven, which said, "Thou art My Son, dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
Xilitaj kꞌut xqaj loq ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel puꞌwiꞌ ri Jesús jeꞌ jas jun palomax. Xtataj xuqujeꞌ jun chꞌabꞌal pa ri kaj ri kubꞌij: At at loqꞌalaj nukꞌojol, sibꞌalaj kaya kiꞌkotem chwe.
23 And He--Jesus--when He began His ministry, was about thirty years old. He was the son (it was supposed) of Joseph, son of Heli,
