< Matthew 13 >
1 On that day Yeshua went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
Che ri qꞌij riꞌ, xel bꞌik ri Jesús pa ri ja ri kꞌo wi, xeꞌ chuchiꞌ ri plo, xtꞌuyiꞌk chilaꞌ chuyaꞌik kꞌutuꞌn.
2 Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
Rumal kꞌu cher sibꞌalaj e kꞌi ri winaq, rumal riꞌ xaqꞌan pa ri jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ, xtꞌuyiꞌ chilaꞌ chuyaꞌik ri kꞌutuꞌn. Konojel ri winaq xekꞌojiꞌ chuchiꞌ ri jaꞌ.
3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
Ri Jesús xukꞌut sibꞌalaj kꞌi jastaq rukꞌ taq kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj jetaq we riꞌ: Kꞌo jun ajchak, xeꞌ pa tikoꞌnijik.
4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
Are tajin katikoꞌnijik, nikꞌaj ijaꞌ xqaj pa ri bꞌe, xepe nikꞌaj chochiꞌ, xkitij bꞌik.
5 Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
Nikꞌaj ijaꞌ chik xqaj pa jun ulew jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi abꞌaj. Aninaq xkꞌiy loq ri tiriko, rumal cher man nim taj qajinaq ri ulew.
6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
Ri tikoꞌn naj taj xuqꞌiꞌo rumal cher maj ukꞌaꞌmalil, are xel loq ri qꞌij, xchaqiꞌjarik.
7 Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
Ri nikꞌaj taq ijaꞌ chik xqaj chikixoꞌl ri kꞌix. Are xekꞌiy loq ri kꞌix, xkijiqꞌisaj kan ri tikoꞌn man xkiya ta bꞌe che xkꞌiyik.
8 Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
E kꞌo chi nikꞌaj ijaꞌ ri xeqaj pa ri utz laj ulew, we ijaꞌ riꞌ xewachinik, kꞌo xkiya jun ciento, kꞌo xkiya oxkꞌal, kꞌo xkiya juwinaq lajuj kiwach.
9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
We qas kꞌo ixikin, chitatabꞌej ri kabꞌix chiꞌwe.
10 The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
Ri tijoxelabꞌ xeqet rukꞌ ri Jesús, xkita che: ¿Jas che kakoj la kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj are kaya la kꞌutuꞌn?
11 He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Ri ix yaꞌtalik kiwetaꞌmaj ri awatalik pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, man je ta kꞌu ri nikꞌaj winaq chik.
12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
Ri winaq ri ketaꞌm jas ubꞌanik ri jastaq pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, yaꞌtal chike kanimar ri ketaꞌmabꞌal. Are kꞌu ri man ketaꞌm taj jas ubꞌanik ri jastaq pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, ri Dios kubꞌan na chi kasachan chike ri nitzꞌ jastaq ri ketaꞌm.
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.
Ri in kinya kꞌutuꞌn chike ri winaq rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj, rech pune kekaꞌyik, man kakil taj, pune kakito, man kakichꞌobꞌ ta ri kabꞌix chike.
14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive;
Jeriꞌ kakꞌulmataj kukꞌ ri xubꞌij loq ri Dios chuchiꞌ ri qꞌalajisal tzij Isaías: We winaq riꞌ, pune kakito, man kakichꞌobꞌ taj, Pune kekaꞌyik, man kakil ta wi.
15 for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’
Rumal cher we tinimit riꞌ xkowir ri kanimaꞌ, xuqujeꞌ man kechoman taj kitzꞌapim ri kibꞌoqꞌoch rech man kakil taj, xuqujeꞌ kitzꞌapim ri kixikin rech man kakita taj, we ta kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx kakichꞌobꞌ riꞌ ri nutzij, xuqujeꞌ kakikꞌex riꞌ ri kikꞌaslemal, ri in xuqujeꞌ keꞌnkunaj na.
16 “But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
Are kꞌu ri ix, sibꞌalaj utz iwe, rumal cher kiwilo xuqujeꞌ kita ri nutzij.
17 For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.
Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq xuqujeꞌ e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios xkaj xkil ri tajin kiwil ix xuqujeꞌ xkita ri kita ix, man xekwin ta kꞌut.
18 “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
Chanim chitatabꞌej, kinbꞌij chiꞌwe ri kel kubꞌij ri kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj rech ri ajtikolobꞌ.
19 When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
E kꞌo jujun winaq ri kakitatabꞌej ri utzij ri Dios, man kakichꞌobꞌ ta kꞌut jas kel kubꞌij, rumal riꞌ kape ri itzel kubꞌano chi kasachan chike. Are waꞌ ri kel kubꞌij ri ijaꞌ ri xtzaq pa ri bꞌe.
20 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;
Ri ijaꞌ ri xtzaq chikixoꞌl ri abꞌaj are kel kubꞌij ri kakitatabꞌej ri tzij rech ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ aninaq kakikꞌamawaꞌj rukꞌ kiꞌkotem.
21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
Rumal chi maj kikꞌaꞌmal, naj taj kakiqꞌiꞌo. Are kakiriq kꞌax, o kabꞌan ne kꞌax chike rumal keniman che ri Dios, kasachan ri tzij chike.
22 What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn )
Kꞌa te riꞌ e kꞌo ri ijaꞌ ri xetzaq chikixoꞌl ri kꞌix. We ijaꞌ riꞌ kel kubꞌij ri e winaq ri kakitatabꞌej ri tzij, man kakiya ta kꞌu bꞌe kakꞌexkꞌobꞌ ri kikꞌaslemal xaq xwi kakichomaj rij ri kajawataj chike, xuqujeꞌ jas kakibꞌano rech kuꞌx qꞌinomabꞌ, rumal riꞌ man kekwin taj kewachinik. (aiōn )
23 What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”
Kꞌisbꞌal rech, ri ijaꞌ ri xetzaq pa ri utz ulew, are waꞌ ri winaq ri kakitatabꞌej ri tzij xuqujeꞌ kakichꞌobꞌo. Are waꞌ ri winaq ri kakikꞌex kikꞌaslemal xuqujeꞌ kakibꞌan ri utzilal. Jer e kꞌo ri ijaꞌ ri xewachinik xkiya jun ciento, xkiya oxkꞌal, xuqujeꞌ xkiya juwinaq lajuj ijaꞌ.
24 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
Ri Jesús xutzijoj chi we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ: Pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios je kakꞌulmataj na jetaq ri xkꞌulmataj rukꞌ jun winaq ri xutik jeꞌl laj ijaꞌ rech tiriko pa ri rulew.
25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.
Che ri chaqꞌabꞌ riꞌ konojel ri winaq tajin kewarik, are xopan ri kꞌulel, xuꞌtikaꞌ kanoq ri jun itzel qꞌayes chuxoꞌl ri tiriko, kꞌa te riꞌ xel bꞌik chilaꞌ.
26 But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
Ri tiriko are xkꞌiy loq, xkꞌiy xuqujeꞌ loq ri itzel qꞌayes.
27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?’
Ri aꞌjchakibꞌ xebꞌe rukꞌ ri ajchoqꞌe ri ulew, xkibꞌij che: Ajawxel, ¿la man utz taq ijaꞌ rech tiriko xtik lal? ¿Jas kꞌu che xkꞌiy loq itzel qꞌayes chuxoꞌl?
28 “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’
Ri ajchoqꞌe ri ulew xubꞌij chike: Are waꞌ ri xubꞌan ri kꞌulel. Ri ajchakibꞌ xkibꞌij: ¿La kaj la keꞌqabꞌoqo kanoq ri itzel qꞌayes?
29 “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
Ri ajchoqꞌe xubꞌij chike: Man kawaj taj, ri tiriko xuqujeꞌ ri itzel qꞌayes xaq raj junam kekaꞌyik, rukꞌ ta ne jubꞌiqꞌ are kibꞌoq kan ri tiriko.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
Are katan riꞌ, chiya bꞌe kekꞌiy loq kikobꞌchal. Are kuriq ri qꞌotaj rech yakoj, kꞌa che riꞌ keqilo jachin chike ri itzel qꞌayes xuqujeꞌ jachin chike ri tiriko. Keꞌntaq na bꞌik ajchakibꞌ riꞌ rech nabꞌe kakibꞌoq ri itzel qꞌayes, kakimulij, kꞌa te riꞌ kakiporoj. Xuqujeꞌ kakikꞌam bꞌik ri tiriko, keꞌkiya kanoq pa ri nukꞌolibꞌal.
31 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took, and sowed in his field,
Ri Jesús xutzijoj chi jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj, xubꞌij: Ri ajawarem rech ri Dios kajunumataj rukꞌ ri jun achi ri xutik jun ijaꞌ rech moxtansia pa ri rulew.
32 which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.”
Pune ri ijaꞌ rech moxtansia sibꞌalaj nitzꞌ chikiwach ronojel uwach ijaꞌ, are kakꞌiy loq, sibꞌalaj nim chikiwach konojel ri e qꞌayes ri e tiktalik. Kux na jetaq jun cheꞌ jawjeꞌ kakibꞌan wi ri kisok ri chochiꞌ.
33 He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”
Ri Jesús xukoj chi jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj, xubꞌij: Ri ajawarem rech ri Dios kajunumataj rukꞌ ri kꞌaj. Ri ixoq are kuya nitzꞌ chꞌam rukꞌ ri kꞌaj, kasipoj ri kꞌaj rumal ri nitzꞌ chꞌam ri kaya rukꞌ.
34 Yeshua spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,
Ri Jesús xuya kꞌutuꞌn chike ri winaq rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj, xuqujeꞌ xujunamaj taq ri jastaq rukꞌ nikꞌaj chik.
35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”
Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmataj ri xubꞌij loq ri Dios chuchiꞌ ri qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij are xubꞌij: Keꞌnchꞌabꞌej na we winaq riꞌ rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj, xuqujeꞌ kinbꞌij na jas kel ri jastaq ri xaq xwi ri Dios etaꞌmaninaq are xutik loq ri uwachulew.
36 Then Yeshua sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”
Ri Jesús xtzalij cho ri ja, xuꞌya kan ri winaq chilaꞌ, ri tijoxelabꞌ xeꞌkibꞌij che: Bꞌij la chaqe jas kel kubꞌij ri kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chirij ri itzel qꞌayes ri xtik pa ri ulew.
37 He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Ri uKꞌojol ri Achi are riꞌ ri katikow ri utz ijaꞌ.
38 the field is the world, the good seeds are the children of the Kingdom, and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
Ri ulew are ri uwachulew, ri utz laj ijaꞌ rech tiriko, aꞌreꞌ ri winaq ri kakinimaj ri taqanik rech ri ajawarem rech ri Dios. Ri ijaꞌ rech ri itzel qꞌayes aꞌreꞌ ri winaq ri kakinimaj ri Itzel.
39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn )
Ri Itzel are xtikow loq ri etzelal cho ri uwachulew. Ri qꞌotaj rech yakoj are ri kꞌisbꞌal qꞌatoj tzij, ri ajchakibꞌ ri keyakow ri tikoꞌn aꞌreꞌ ri rangelibꞌ. (aiōn )
40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. (aiōn )
Are kabꞌoq ri itzel qꞌayes xuqujeꞌ kaporoxik are kel kubꞌij ri qꞌatoj tzij ri kubꞌan na ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri winaq. (aiōn )
41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and those who do iniquity,
In ri in uKꞌojol ri Achi, keꞌntaq na bꞌik ri e wangelibꞌ rech keꞌkesaj na bꞌik pa ri ajawarem we konojel ri kakibꞌan etzelal xuqujeꞌ ri keꞌkitaqchiꞌj nikꞌaj winaq chik chubꞌanik mak.
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
We winaq riꞌ kekꞌyaq na bꞌik kumal ri angelibꞌ pa ri tyoꞌnel qꞌaqꞌ, chilaꞌ kakixiꞌj kꞌu na kibꞌ, koꞌq na, xuqujeꞌ kakiqutꞌutꞌej na kiware.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Are kꞌu ri winaq ri keniman che ri Dios, kechuplin na pa ri ajawarem rech ri Tataxel jacha ri kubꞌan ri qꞌij are kachuplinik. We qas kꞌo ixikin chutatabꞌexik, qas chitatabꞌej.
44 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Ri ajawarem rech ri Dios kajunumataj rukꞌ ri qꞌinomal ri muqtal kan pa jun ulew, are kariqitaj rumal jun winaq, ri winaq karawaj chi kan junmul. Kꞌa te riꞌ kakiꞌkotik keꞌ chukꞌayixik ronojel ri rulew rech kakwinik kuloqꞌ kan ri ulew rech kakanaj kan rukꞌ ri qꞌinomal ri kꞌo pa we ulew riꞌ.
45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
Ri ajawarem rech ri Dios kajunumataj rukꞌ ri jun ajkꞌay ri kuloqꞌ ri abꞌaj ri paqal rajil.
46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
Are kuriq jun abꞌaj ri paqal rajil, kukꞌayij kan ronojel ri kꞌo rukꞌ rech kuloqꞌ ri paqal rajil.
47 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind,
Ri ajawarem rech ri Dios kajunumataj rukꞌ ri jun kꞌat chapbꞌal kar. Ri e chapal taq kar kakikꞌyaq bꞌik ri kꞌat pa ri cho, keꞌkimol ronojel uwach kar.
48 which, when it was filled, fishermen drew up on the beach. They sat down and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
Are kanoj ri kꞌat, kakesaj la chuchiꞌ ri jaꞌ, ketꞌuyiꞌ chuqꞌatik ri utz taq kar xuqujeꞌ ri itzel taq kar. Ri utz taq kar keꞌkiyak pa jun chakach, ri itzel taq kar keꞌkikꞌyaq bꞌik.
49 So it will be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn )
Jeriꞌ kakꞌulmatajik are kopan ri kꞌisbꞌal qꞌij rech ri uwachulew: Ri angelibꞌ keꞌkiqꞌat na ri utz taq winaq chike ri itzel taq winaq. (aiōn )
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Ri itzel taq winaq kekꞌyaq na bꞌik pa ri tyoꞌnel qꞌaqꞌ, chilaꞌ kakixiꞌj wi na kibꞌ, rumal riꞌ koqꞌ na xuqujeꞌ kakiqutꞌutꞌej na ri kiware.
51 Yeshua said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
Ri Jesús xuta chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: ¿La kichꞌobꞌ ix ronojel we kꞌutuꞌn riꞌ? Ri tijoxelabꞌ xkibꞌij: Jeꞌ, kaqachꞌobꞌo.
52 He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri ajtij rech ri taqanik ri kux utijoxel ri rawajarem ri Dios, je kꞌo ri winaq ajchoqꞌe jun ja ri keꞌ jawjeꞌ ri kuyak wi ri ujastaq, chilaꞌ karesaj wi loq kꞌakꞌ xuqujeꞌ qꞌeꞌl taq jastaq.
53 When Yeshua had finished these parables, he departed from there.
Are xtoꞌtaj ri Jesús chuyaꞌik ri kꞌutuꞌn rukꞌ ri kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj, xel bꞌik chilaꞌ.
54 Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
Xopan pa ri utinimit, xuchapleꞌj uyaꞌik kꞌutuꞌn pa ri Sinagoga. Ri winaq xemayijanik, e kꞌo kꞌu jujun chike xkibꞌij: ¿Jawjeꞌ xretaꞌmaj wi we achi riꞌ ronojel we jastaq riꞌ? E nikꞌaj winaq chik xkibꞌij:

Are waꞌ ri Jesús, ukꞌojol ri José ri qolol cheꞌ, are unan ri María, are e rachalal ri Jacobo, ri José, ri Simón xuqujeꞌ ri Judas.
56 Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”
Ri e ranabꞌ e kꞌo na waral ¿jas che laꞌ retaꞌm sibꞌalaj kꞌi jastaq, xuqujeꞌ kakwinik kubꞌan mayijabꞌal taq jastaq?
57 They were offended by him. But Yeshua said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house.”
Maj kꞌu jun chike ri winaq ri keꞌl chilaꞌ xraj xukꞌamawaꞌj ri ukꞌutuꞌn ri Jesús. Rumal riꞌ, ri Jesús xubꞌij: Jun qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios kanimax pa ronojel taq ri tinimit, xwi pa ri utinimit xuqujeꞌ pa ri rachoch man kanimax ta wi.
58 He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
E kꞌi winaq man xekojon ta che, rumal riꞌ man kꞌi taj mayijabꞌal taq jastaq xubꞌan pa ri leꞌaj riꞌ.
