< Acts 13 >
1 Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
E kꞌo kꞌu qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios xuqujeꞌ aꞌjtijabꞌ pa ri komontyox rech ri tinimit Antioquía pa Siria, ri Bernabé, ri Simón (ri kabꞌix Qꞌeq che), ri Lucio (aj Cirene), ri Manaén ri junam xekꞌiy rukꞌ ri Herodes Antipas, xuqujeꞌ ri Saulo.
2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
Jun qꞌijal are tajin kakibꞌan chꞌawem xuqujeꞌ tajin kakiqꞌip kiwaꞌim, ri Uxlabꞌixel xubꞌij chike: Chiꞌqꞌata ri Bernabé rachiꞌl ri Saulo rech kebꞌe che ri chak ri e nusikꞌim wi.
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Xkibꞌan kꞌu qꞌipoj waꞌim xuqujeꞌ xkibꞌan chꞌawem pa kiwiꞌ ri Saulo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xkiya kiqꞌabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkitaq bꞌik.
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Ri Uxlabꞌixel xutaq bꞌik ri Bernabé rachiꞌl ri Saulo xebꞌe chuchiꞌ ri jaꞌ rech Seleucia kelik bꞌi chilaꞌ xebꞌe puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ xoꞌpan pa jun leꞌaj sutital che jaꞌ pa ri tinimit Chipre.
5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.
Are xoꞌpan pa ri tinimit Salamina, xoꞌk pa ri Sinagoga kech ri winaq aꞌj Israel chilaꞌ xkitzijoj wi ri utzij ri Dios. Ri Juan Marcos xeꞌ kukꞌ chikitoꞌik.
6 When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,
Xebꞌe pa jaljoj taq tinimit kꞌa te riꞌ xoꞌpan pa ri tinimit Pafos. Chilaꞌ xketaꞌmaj wi uwach jun ajqꞌij, jun menkꞌetinel aꞌj Israel ubꞌiꞌ Barjesús.
7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
Ri achi riꞌ kachakun rukꞌ ri qꞌatal tzij, Sergio Paulo, jun qꞌatal tzij ri sibꞌalaj kꞌo retaꞌmabꞌal. Xtaqan kꞌu chikisikꞌixik ri Bernabé rachiꞌl ri Saulo, rumal cher karaj kuta ri utzij ri Dios.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
Are kꞌu ri Elimas ri ajqꞌij (are waꞌ ri ubꞌiꞌ pa tzijobꞌal griego) xukoj ukꞌuꞌx ri nim qꞌatal tzij rech man kutatabꞌej ta ri kakitzijoj ri Bernabé rachiꞌl ri Saulo rech jeriꞌ man kakojon taj.
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
Ri Saulo ubꞌiꞌ Pablo xnoj che ri Uxlabꞌixel ko xukaꞌyej ri achi.
10 and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij che: ¡Ralkꞌwaꞌl itzel, at ukꞌulel ri sukꞌal, at nojinaq che menkꞌetinik, xuqujeꞌ bꞌanoj tzij. At ukꞌulel ronojel utzilal! ¿Jampaꞌ kattaniꞌk chukotik ri utz laj ubꞌe ri Ajawxel?
11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
Ri Ajawxel kꞌut kuqꞌat tzij paꞌwiꞌ rumal riꞌ katmoyar chanim. Man kawil ta chi ri utunal ri qꞌij jun janipa qꞌij. Jeriꞌ aninaq xok sutzꞌ xuqujeꞌ qꞌequꞌmal pa ri ubꞌoqꞌoch ri achi, xuchapleꞌj bꞌinem, man karil ta chi ri ubꞌe, xa xuta chi toqꞌobꞌ xtzuyexik kakꞌut ri ubꞌe.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Ri qꞌatal tzij are xril ri xkꞌulmatajik, xkojonik rumal xmayijanik che ri kꞌutuꞌn rech ri Ajawxel Jesús.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
Ri Pablo xuqujeꞌ ri e rachiꞌl xeꞌl bꞌik pa ri tinimit Pafos, xebꞌe pa jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ, xebꞌe pa ri tinimit Panfilia. Xoꞌpan chuchiꞌ ri jaꞌ pa ri tinimit Perge. Chilaꞌ xtzalij wi kanoq ri Juan Marcos xeꞌ kanoq pa Jerusalén.
14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
Ri Pablo kꞌut rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xkisukꞌu xoꞌpan pa ri tinimit Antioquía pa Pisidia. Pa ri qꞌij rech uxlanem xebꞌe pa ri mulim ibꞌ pa ri Sinagoga.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
Are xsikꞌitaj ri wuj rech ri Moisés, ri naqꞌatalik kakisikꞌij xuqujeꞌ ri kiwuj ri e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios, ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe kech ri winaq ri kimulin kibꞌ xkitaq ubꞌixik chike: Alaxik, we kꞌo tzij iwukꞌ ri kuya jororemal xuqujeꞌ kuꞌtaqchiꞌj ri alaxik kebꞌe chikiwach, chixqꞌaxoq jiꞌbꞌij.
16 Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
Xwaꞌjil kꞌu ri Pablo, pa memal tzij xubꞌij chike chi man kechꞌaw ta na kꞌa te riꞌ xuchapleꞌj chꞌawem xubꞌij: Chitampeꞌ, achyabꞌ aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ ri ix man ix aꞌj Israel taj, ri kixiꞌj iwibꞌ cho ri Dios.
17 The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
Ri Dios rech we tinimit Israel xuꞌchaꞌ ri qamam ojer, xuꞌkꞌiyarisaj, xuya kichuqꞌabꞌ are xekꞌojiꞌ pa ri tinimit Egipto, kꞌa te riꞌ rukꞌ ri kwinel laj uqꞌabꞌ xeꞌresaj loq pa ri patanijik.
18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
Xukochꞌ uwach chike kawinaq junabꞌ are xebꞌin pa ri katzꞌinow ulew.
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.
Xusach kiwach wuqubꞌ tinimit ri e kꞌo pa Canaán rech jeriꞌ xuya ri ulew chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
20 After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
We jastaq riꞌ xkꞌulmatajik kajibꞌ ciento rukꞌ kawinaq lajuj junabꞌ. Kꞌa te riꞌ ri Dios xuꞌkoj qꞌatal taq tzij kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri tinimit Israel, ri kꞌisbꞌal qꞌatal tzij are ri Samuel.
21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
Ri winaq xkita kꞌu jun kitaqanel, ri Dios xuya chike ri Saúl ukꞌojol ri Cis, rech ri jupuq winaq rech Benjamín are waꞌ xtaqan pa Israel kawinaq junabꞌ.
22 When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
Ri Dios are xresaj ri Saúl che taqanel, xukoj ri David che ukꞌaxel, are waꞌ ri xbꞌix che rumal ri Dios: Ri David ukꞌojol ri Isaí are qas kaqaj chinuwach, rumal cher kubꞌan na ronojel ri kinbꞌij che kubꞌano.
23 From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
Ri Jesús kꞌut are jun chike ri e rijaꞌl ri David are waꞌ ri kolonel uchiꞌm loq ri Dios chike ri utinimit Israel.
24 before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.
Majoꞌq kape ri Jesús, are xpe ri Juan Bꞌanal qasanaꞌ, xubꞌij chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel chi rajawaxik kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx che ri kimak, ketzalij rukꞌ ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ kabꞌan kiqasanaꞌ.
25 As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
Are xuriq ri kꞌisbꞌal qꞌij rech ukꞌaslemal ri Juan, xubꞌij: “¿Teꞌq piꞌkꞌuꞌx chi in in Mesías? Man in taj. Kape kꞌu na Areꞌ, man taqal ta kꞌu chwe in kinoq che patanil re, man ne taqal ta chwe kinkir ri ximbꞌal uxajabꞌ.”
26 “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
Qachalal ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Abraham xuqujeꞌ winaq ri man ix aꞌj Israel taj ix ri kixiꞌj iwibꞌ cho ri Dios, we tzij rech kolotajem chaqe uj xyaꞌtaj wi.
27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
Ri winaq aꞌj Jerusalén, xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌamal taq kibꞌe man xkichꞌobꞌ taj chi ri Jesús xtzijox loq kumal ri qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios. Rumal riꞌ xkiqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ je xkibꞌano jetaq ri kitzijom loq ri qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios, ri kasikꞌix pa ronojel taq qꞌij rech uxlanem.
28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Man kꞌo ta kꞌu rumal kakamisaxik, pune jeriꞌ xkita wi che ri Pilato chi kakamisaxik.
29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
Are xbꞌantaj kumal ronojel ri tzꞌibꞌatal chrij ri Jesús, xkiqasaj cho ri cheꞌ kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkimuqu kanoq.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Ri Dios kꞌut xukꞌastajisaj uwach chkixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ.
31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
Ri Jesús xukꞌut ribꞌ sibꞌalaj kꞌi mul chikiwach ri winaq ri xebꞌin rukꞌ kelik loq pa Galilea xebꞌe pa ri tinimit Jerusalén. Kamik riꞌ, are waꞌ we winaq riꞌ ketzijon ri ukamikal xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌastajibꞌal uwach ri Jesús chike ri tinimit Israel.
32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
Kamik riꞌ, uj kꞌo waral chutzijoxik ri utz laj tzij ri bꞌiꞌtal loq chike ri e qamam ojer.
33 that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
Ri Dios xubꞌano ri ubꞌim loq chaqe are xukꞌastajisaj uwach ri Jesús. Are waꞌ ri kubꞌij ri ukabꞌ Salmo che ri Jesús. At at nukꞌojol, kamik riꞌ xinux aTat.
34 “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
Ri Dios xubꞌij loq chi kuwaꞌjilisaj na ri Jesús chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ, man xuya ta kanoq pa ri jul rech kaqꞌayik, xubꞌij xuqujeꞌ: Kinya na ri Tyoxalaj tewechibꞌal ri nuchiꞌm loq che ri David.
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
Kꞌo chi jun Salmo ri kꞌyaqal kubꞌan chubꞌixik: Man kaya ta la bꞌe chi ri Tyox patanil e la kaqꞌay pa ri jul.
36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
We Salmo riꞌ man are ta kutzijoj rij ri David. Ri David are xepatanitaj ri e rach kꞌiyik, xkam bꞌik, xmuq kukꞌ ri ratiꞌt umam, xqꞌay ri areꞌ.
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
Man are ta kutzijoj rij ri David xane jun winaq chik ri xkꞌastajisax rumal ri Dios ri man xqꞌay ta ri ubꞌaqil.
38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;
Qachalal, chitampeꞌ, uj kꞌo waral che uqꞌalajisaxik chi kꞌo kuybꞌal imak rumal ri Jesús.
39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Xapachin ri kakojon che ri Jesús kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che cho ri Dios, are waꞌ ri man xkwin ta ri utaqanik ri Moisés xubꞌano.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
Qas chixchomanoq rech man kakꞌulmataj ta iwukꞌ ri xkibꞌij loq ri e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios, are xkibꞌij:
41 ‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”
Chiwilampeꞌ ix ri ix ajyoqꞌolobꞌ, chixmayijanoq xuqujeꞌ sach iwach, rumal cher tajin kinbꞌan jun jastaq ri pune kꞌo katzijon chiꞌwe man kikoj ta wi riꞌ.
42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé are xeꞌl loq pa ri Sinagoga xebꞌochiꞌx kumal ri winaq rech kakitzalij utzijoxik ri jastaq pa jun qꞌij chik rech uxlanem.
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
E kꞌi winaq aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ winaq ri xkibꞌan aꞌj Israel chibꞌil kibꞌ xeꞌkitereneꞌj ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé. Konojel we winaq riꞌ xeꞌkitaqchiꞌj ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé rech kajeqiꞌ kikꞌuꞌx pa ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios.
44 The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
Che ri jun qꞌij chik rech uxlanem, konojel ri winaq rech ri tinimit xkimulij kibꞌ chutayik ri utzij ri Dios.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
Ri winaq aꞌj Israel are xkil ri kikꞌyal ri winaq, itzel xkinaꞌo xkichapleꞌj ubꞌixik bꞌanoj taq tzij chirij ri Pablo, xkichapleꞌj ukꞌululaꞌxik ronojel ri kubꞌij.
46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios )
Ri Pablo xuqujeꞌ ri Bernabé xkibꞌij rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ: Sibꞌalaj rajawaxik nabꞌe kaqatzijoj ri utzij ri Dios chiꞌwe ix, ri ix aj Israel, rumal kꞌu cher xiwetzelaj uwach kinaꞌo chi man kataqiꞌ ta chiꞌwe ri jun alik kꞌaslemal, rumal riꞌ kaqatzijoj chi we tzij riꞌ chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj. (aiōnios )
47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
Ri Ajawxel xuya we taqanik riꞌ chaqe are xubꞌij: At nuyaꞌom chikitunaxik ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, rech katzijoj ri koltajem pa taq ri naja taq tinimit rech ri uwachulew.
48 As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed. (aiōnios )
Ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj are xkita ri xbꞌixik, xetyoxin che ri Ajawxel rumal ri utzij, konojel ri e chaꞌtal chukꞌamawaꞌxik ri jun alik kꞌaslemal, xekojonik. (aiōnios )
49 The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
Ri utzij ri Dios xjabꞌun pa ri tinimit riꞌ.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
Are kꞌu ri kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri winaq aꞌj Israel xeꞌkitaqchiꞌj ixoqibꞌ ri muꞌl kikꞌuꞌx pa ri kinaqꞌatajibꞌal xuqujeꞌ e kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri tinimit rech xkimulij kibꞌ chikij ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé rech jeriꞌ xeꞌkesaj bꞌik pa ri tinimit.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xeꞌl loq pa ri tinimit, xkitota kan ri ulew che ri kaqan kꞌutbꞌal rech chi maj kimak chike ri winaq we kape kꞌaxkꞌolal pa kiwiꞌ. Kꞌa te riꞌ xebꞌe pa ri tinimit Iconio.
52 The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
