< Luke 12 >
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq kꞌut xkimulij kibꞌ, xaq kakitakꞌaleꞌla chi kibꞌ, xpe kꞌu ri Jesús xuchapleꞌj kichꞌabꞌexik, nabꞌe xubꞌij chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: Chichajij iwibꞌ che ri chꞌam kech ri fariseos, pa nikꞌaj tzij chik, ri kikawachil.
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
Rumal chi maj jun jastaq ri man etaꞌmatal taj ri mat kilitaj na, xuqujeꞌ maj jun jastaq awatalik ri mat ketaꞌmataj na.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Rumal riꞌ ronojel ri ibꞌim pa ri qꞌequꞌmal katataj na cho ri utunal ri qꞌij, xuqujeꞌ ri ibꞌim chi awal are itzꞌapim ri uchiꞌ ja, karaqaqex na ubꞌixik puꞌwiꞌ taq ri ja.
4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Chiꞌwe ix wech chꞌabꞌeꞌn kinbꞌij man kixiꞌj ta iwibꞌ chike ri kekamisan ri ityoꞌjal, rumal xwi riꞌ kekwinik kakibꞌano.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna )
Kinbꞌij chiꞌwe jachin choch rajawaxik kixiꞌj wi iwibꞌ, chixiꞌj iwibꞌ choch ri are kesataj ri kꞌaslemal rumal, kꞌo ukwinem kixutaq bꞌik pa ri tyoꞌnel qꞌaqꞌ, jeꞌ cho areꞌ rajawaxik kixiꞌj wi iwibꞌ. (Geenna )
6 “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
¿La man kebꞌ saqa pwaq kajil ri jobꞌ chochiꞌ? Pune jeriꞌ man kesachan ta che ri Dios.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Rumal cher ri Dios rajilam ronojel ri ukꞌiyal ri iwiꞌ ri kꞌo pa ijolom, xaq jeriꞌ man kixiꞌj ta iwibꞌ.
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
Kinbꞌij kꞌu chiꞌwe xapachin ri kinuqꞌalajisaj chikiwach ri winaq, kaqꞌalajisax xuqujeꞌ na uwach chikiwach ri angelibꞌ rech ri Dios rumal ri uKꞌojol ri Achi.
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
Xapachin kꞌu ri karawaj nubꞌixik chkiwach ri winaq man kaqꞌalajisax ta ri ubꞌiꞌ chikiwach ri angelibꞌ rech ri Dios.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Xapachin ri kubꞌij jun itzel tzij che ri uKꞌojol ri Achi, kakuyutaj na. Are kꞌu ri winaq ri karetzelaj uwach ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel rukꞌ taq tzij, man kakuyutaj taj.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
Are kixtakꞌatobꞌ pa ri Sinagoga xuqujeꞌ chikiwach ri qꞌatal taq tzij, xuqujeꞌ ri e taqanelabꞌ, man kakꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ta iwanimaꞌ chuchomaxik jas kibꞌan chutoꞌik iwibꞌ.
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
Are ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel kakꞌutuw chiꞌwach ri rajawaxik kibꞌij.
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Kꞌo kꞌu jun achi chikixoꞌl ri winaq, xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Ajtij, bꞌij la che ri wachalal chujacha ri echabꞌal chiqawach.
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
Ri Jesús kꞌut xubꞌij che: Achi, ¿jachin xbꞌin chawe chi in in qꞌatal tzij pa iwiꞌ?
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
Chichajij iwibꞌ che ri kꞌarkꞌatem rumal cher man are taj ri ukꞌiyal ri uqꞌinomal ri winaq ri kayoꞌw ukꞌaslemal.
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
Xutzijoj kꞌu chike we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ: Kꞌo jun qꞌinom achi, ri sibꞌalaj xwachin ri rulew.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
Xuchomaj kꞌut: “¿Jas kinbꞌano? ¿Jawjeꞌ kinyak wi ronojel ri nutikoꞌn ri xwachinik?”
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
Kꞌisbꞌal rech xubꞌij: “Wetaꞌm jas kinbꞌano, kintukij na ri nukꞌolibꞌal jawjeꞌ ri kinyak wi ri uwach ri nutikoꞌn, kinyak chi na jun sibꞌalaj nim cho ri kꞌo kan nabꞌe, rech utz kinbꞌan chuyakik ronojel ri nutikoꞌn.
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
Kinbꞌij kꞌu na, wanimaꞌ sibꞌalaj kꞌi ajastaq rech kꞌi junabꞌ yakalik. Xaq bꞌa chatuxlanoq, chatwoꞌq, chatqumunoq, chakiꞌkotebꞌej ri kꞌaslemal.”
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
Xubꞌij kꞌu ri Dios che: “¡Konalaj achi! Chaqꞌabꞌ kamik katkamik. ¿Jachin kꞌu pa uqꞌabꞌ kakanaj wi kan ri ajastaq ri amulim?”
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.”
Jewaꞌ kakꞌulmataj kukꞌ ri winaq ri kakimulij qꞌinomal xaq ke aꞌreꞌ, man are ta kakitzukuj kuꞌx qꞌinomabꞌ cho ri Dios.
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij ri Jesús chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: Rumal riꞌ kinbꞌij chiꞌwe we are ri Dios yoꞌwinaq ri ikꞌaslemal, are xuqujeꞌ kayoꞌw na ri iwa, we are ri Dios yoꞌwinaq ri ityoꞌjal are xuqujeꞌ kayoꞌw na ri iwatzꞌyaq.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Are nim na rajil ri kꞌaslemal cho ri tijowik rij, je xuqujeꞌ are nim ubꞌanik ri ityoꞌjal cho ri iwatzꞌyaq.
24 Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
¡Chiꞌwilampe ri joj! Man keꞌtikoꞌnij taj, xuqujeꞌ man kejachꞌan taj, xuqujeꞌ Man kꞌo ta kikaxon chuyakik ri kakijachꞌo. Pune jeriꞌ, ri Dios kuya kiwa. Ix kꞌut ix kꞌo na chikiwach ri aꞌwaj ri kerapinik.
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
¿Jachin ta kꞌu chiꞌwe rukꞌ ri kakꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ukꞌuꞌx kakwinik kuya jubꞌiqꞌ uwiꞌ ri ukꞌaslemal?
26 If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
¿Jas che kakꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ikꞌuꞌx chike nikꞌaj winaq chik, la man kinaꞌo chi man kixkwin ta chubꞌanik xa ta ne jun nitzꞌ laj jastaq?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Chiwilampeꞌ ri kotzꞌiꞌj, man kechakun taj, man kakisol ta bꞌatzꞌ, pune jeriꞌ, ri Salomón rukꞌ ronojel ri ujuluwem man xkwin taj je xatzꞌyaqinik jetaq ri aꞌreꞌ.
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
We jeriꞌ kubꞌan ri Dios kukꞌ ri qꞌayes, ri tikil kamik cho ri saq chweꞌq kꞌut kaporoxik, are kꞌu mat kuya iwatzꞌyaq ix, winaq ri xa nitzꞌ ikojobꞌal.
29 “Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
Xaq jeriꞌ man kakꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ta ikꞌuꞌx che ri kitijo xuqujeꞌ ri kiqumuj, chixtanal che uchomaxik rij.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
Ri winaq aꞌjuwachulew are kitereneꞌm utzukuxik ronojel waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ, ri iTat kꞌut retaꞌm chi rajawaxik ronojel waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ chiꞌwe.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Are chitzukuj ix ri rawajarem ri Dios, xaq kꞌu katerebꞌax na uyaꞌik ronojel waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ chiꞌwe.
32 “Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
Ri utz laj urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Tataxel are chi kuya na ri ajawarem chiꞌwe, man kixiꞌj ta bꞌa iwibꞌ alaj taq nuchij.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Chikꞌayij ri ijastaq rech kiya kirajil ri kajawataj chike. Chiloqꞌo yakbꞌal irajil ri man kajar taj, chimulij ri iqꞌinomal chilaꞌ chikaj, jawjeꞌ e maj wi eleqꞌomabꞌ, xuqujeꞌ maj iꞌxjut kok che.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Rumal ri iwanimaꞌ kakꞌojiꞌ na jawjeꞌ ri kꞌo wi ri iqꞌinomal.
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
Chitzija bꞌa ri qꞌaqꞌ tunabꞌal, chisukꞌumaj iwibꞌ, chikojo ri iwatzꞌyaq ri jas xaqareꞌ chiꞌwe.
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
Je chixnoꞌjinoq jetaq ri kakibꞌan ri ajchakibꞌ aninaq kakijaq ri uchiꞌ ja cho ri kipatrón ri upetik pa ri nimaqꞌij rech jun kꞌulanem.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
Utz ke ri patanijelabꞌ ri kuleꞌriqitajoq kayeꞌm apanoq ri kajaw. Qas kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, are kul ri kajaw kukꞌex riꞌ ri ratzꞌyaq, kuꞌtaq pa tꞌuyulem ri e rajchakibꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kok chikipatanixik.
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
Jeꞌ, utz ke ri ajchakibꞌ ri pune nikꞌaj aqꞌabꞌ, o sibꞌalaj aqꞌabꞌ kisukꞌumam apanoq kibꞌ are kuleꞌriqitajoq.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Chichꞌobꞌo kꞌu rij we riꞌ, we kꞌo jun ajchoqꞌe jun ja ri retaꞌm jas qꞌotaj kok ri elaqꞌom pa ri rachoch, kakꞌasiꞌ riꞌ chuchajixik rech man kok ta ri elaqꞌom pa ri ja.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
Rajawaxik je kibꞌan apanoq ix, rumal chi ri uKꞌojol ri Achi kapetik are man ichomanik ta apanoq.
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
Are kꞌu ri Pedro xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Ajawxel ¿la chike konojel le winaq katzijoj wi la we kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ o xaq chaqe uj?
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
Xubꞌij ri Jesús: ¿La kariqitaj jun utz laj patanijel ri kꞌo retaꞌmabꞌal, kachilibꞌex kan che kuya kiwa ri ajchakibꞌ pa ri kꞌyaqalik qꞌotaj?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
Utz rech ri ajchak ri are katzalij loq ri rajaw tajin kubꞌan apanoq ri upatan.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
Qas kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, riꞌ ri winaq riꞌ kukoj che chajil rech ronojel ri ujastaq.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
Jas kꞌu kakꞌulmataj riꞌ we kuchomaj ri ajchak chi kabꞌeyetaj riꞌ ri wajaw, kuchapleꞌj kꞌut kichꞌayik ri ajchakibꞌ achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ, kuchapleꞌj waꞌim xuqujeꞌ qꞌabꞌarik.
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
Katzalij kꞌu loq ri rajaw we ajchak riꞌ, pa ri qꞌij xuqujeꞌ pa ri qꞌotaj ri man ayeꞌtal ta apanoq rumal ri rajchak, kaqꞌat kꞌu na tzij puꞌwiꞌ jetaq ri kabꞌan chike ri man e kojonelabꞌ taj.
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
Kul chꞌaya kꞌu na ri patanijel ri man ubꞌanom ta apanoq jas ri karaj ri patrón.
48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
Ri patanijel kꞌut ri man retaꞌm taj jas ri rayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri rajaw, kubꞌan kꞌu apanoq jun jastaq ri man utz taj, kaqꞌat tzij riꞌ puꞌwiꞌ xa kꞌu man sibꞌalaj kꞌax taj kabꞌan che. Ri nim yaꞌtal che, nim na katoqꞌix che, xuqujeꞌ ri nim kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx yaꞌtal che, sibꞌalaj nim na kata che.
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
Nukꞌamom la in qꞌaqꞌ cho ri uwachulew, kꞌo ta bꞌa ne wi kajinin chik.
50 But I have a baptism to be baptised with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

¿Teꞌq pa ikꞌuꞌx ix chi jaꞌmaril nukꞌamom la cho ri uwachulew? Man je ta kꞌu riꞌ, tukinem nukꞌamom loq.
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
Xuqujeꞌ xubꞌij ri Jesús chike ri sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq: Kibꞌij ix chi kubꞌan jabꞌ are xaq kꞌa teꞌ kiwilo kapaqiꞌ la jun sutzꞌ, qas je kꞌu wi riꞌ kakꞌulmatajik.

Are kape ri kyaqiqꞌ chuxukut ulew ri kajichꞌichꞌik kubꞌan qꞌaqꞌ waꞌ kixcha ix, qas je kꞌu wi riꞌ kakꞌulmatajik.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
Kawach taq winaq, iwetaꞌm kichꞌobꞌ rij ri kakꞌulmataj cho ri kaj xuqujeꞌ cho ri uwachulew. ¿Jas kꞌu che man kixkwin taj kisol rij ri qꞌotaj ri uj kꞌo wi kamik?
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
¿Jas che man kichomaj taj ri qas sukꞌ ubꞌanik?
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
