Acts 8
1 And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;
Ri Saulo utz xrilo chi xkamisax ri Esteban, xqaj choch ri xbꞌanik. Che ri qꞌij riꞌ xchapleꞌtaj ubꞌanik kꞌax chike ri kojonelabꞌ pa ri tinimit Jerusalén. Konojel ri kojonelabꞌ xejabꞌun bꞌik pa ri tinimit Judea xuqujeꞌ pa Samaria. Xwi ri uꞌtijoxelabꞌ ri Jesús xekanaj kanoq pa Jerusalén.
2 and devout men carried away Stephen, and made great lamentation over him;
(E kꞌo kꞌu jujun utz laj taq winaq xkoqꞌej ri Esteban, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkimuqu kanoq).
3 and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;
Are kꞌu ri Saulo xuchapleꞌj ubꞌanik kꞌax chike ri e kojonelabꞌ. Xok cho taq ri ja, xuꞌkꞌam bꞌik achyabꞌ, ixoqibꞌ, xuꞌkoj pa cheꞌ.
4 they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news — the word.
Are kꞌu ri kojonelabꞌ ri xejabꞌun bꞌik pa taq ri tinimit, xkitzijoj ri utz laj tzij rech ri Jesús xapawjeꞌ ri xebꞌe wi.
5 And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ,
Ri Felipe xeꞌ pa ri tinimit Samaria, chilaꞌ xutzijoj wi ri Mesías chike ri winaq.
6 the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
Ri winaq xkimulij kibꞌ, xkitatabꞌej ri tzij ri xubꞌij ri Felipe rumal cher kekꞌarkꞌat che utayik ri utz laj tzij xuqujeꞌ kakil ri mayijabꞌal taq jastaq ri kubꞌano.
7 for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,
Xeꞌsax e kꞌi itzel taq uxlabꞌal chike ri winaq, e kꞌi chꞌokeꞌr xuqujeꞌ ri kaminaq kibꞌaqil, xuꞌtzirik.
8 and there was great joy in that city.
Sibꞌalaj xekiꞌkot ri winaq ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit.
9 And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
Kꞌo kꞌu jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Simón, jun najtir aj itz kubꞌan mayijabꞌal taq jastaq chikiwach ri winaq rech Samaria, kubꞌij chi sibꞌalaj nim reqeleꞌn.
10 to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great, saying, 'This one is the great power of God;'
Konojel ri winaq ta kꞌu akꞌalabꞌ ta kꞌu riꞌjabꞌ kakibꞌij chi we achi riꞌ: Nim uqꞌij xuqujeꞌ kꞌo ukwinem ri Dios rukꞌ.
11 and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with deeds of magic.
Ojer chik katatabꞌex kumal ri winaq rumal che ri ubꞌanom mayijabꞌal taq jastaq rukꞌ ri itzinik.
12 And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women;
Ri winaq xekojon che ri utz laj tzij rech ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Jesucristo e kꞌi achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ xbꞌan kiqasanaꞌ.
13 and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
Xkojon xuqujeꞌ ri Simón, xbꞌan uqasanaꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xteriꞌ chirij ri Felipe xapawjeꞌ ri xeꞌ wi, kamayijan che taq ri kꞌutbꞌal xuqujeꞌ che ri mayijabꞌal taq jastaq ri xubꞌan ri Felipe.
14 And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John,
Ri utijoxelabꞌ ri Jesús ri e kꞌo pa tinimit Jerusalén are xkito chi ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Samaria xekojon che ri utzij ri Dios, xeꞌkitaq bꞌik ri Pedro rachiꞌl ri Juan je laꞌ.
15 who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, —
Are xoꞌpan ri Juan rachiꞌl ri Pedro, xkibaꞌn chꞌawem pa kiwiꞌ ri kꞌakꞌ taq kojonelabꞌ rech kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri Uxlabꞌixel.
16 for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus;
Rumal cher majaꞌ kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri Uxlabꞌixel xwi bꞌantal kiqasanaꞌ pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesús.
17 then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Ri Pedro kꞌut xuqujeꞌ ri Juan xkiya ri kiqꞌabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ, rech xa jeriꞌ xkikꞌamawaꞌj ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
18 And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money,
Ri Simón are xrilo chi rukꞌ ri kakiya ri kiqꞌabꞌ ri taqoꞌn pa kiwiꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xutzuj pwaq chike ri tijoxelabꞌ rech kuloqꞌ rech we kwinem riꞌ.
19 saying, 'Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.'
Jewaꞌ xubꞌij: Chiya we ri chuqꞌabꞌ ri kꞌo iwukꞌ, rech are kinya xuqujeꞌ nuqꞌabꞌ in pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
20 And Peter said unto him, 'Thy silver with thee — may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money;
Ri Pedro xubꞌij che: Sach uwach ri arajil xuqujeꞌ sach awach at, rumal cher xachomaj chi ri usipanik ri Dios rukꞌ pwaq kaloqꞌik.
21 thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God;
Man kꞌo ta awe che we sipanik riꞌ, rumal chi ri awanimaꞌ man sukꞌ ta cho ri Dios.
22 reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee,
Chakꞌexa akꞌuꞌx che ri awetzelal, chabꞌana chꞌawem cho ri Ajawxel, wine kukuy ri itzel taq achomanik.
23 for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.'
Kinwilo chi kꞌo jun nimalaj etzelal pa ri awanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri mak at ujatꞌim.
24 And Simon answering, said, 'Beseech ye for me unto the Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things ye have spoken.'
Ri Simón xubꞌij: Chibꞌana bꞌa chꞌawem pa nuwiꞌ rech man kakꞌulmataj ta wukꞌ we kꞌax taq jastaq ri xibꞌij.
25 They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news.
Are xetoꞌtaj ri Juan rachiꞌl ri Pedro che utzijoxik ri utzij ri Dios pa Samaria, xetzalij pa Jerusalén. Xikꞌow bꞌik pa ri leꞌaj rech Samaria, xkitzijoj kan ri utz laj tzij.
26 And a messenger of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, 'Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza,' — this is desert.
Jun ángel xuchꞌabꞌej ri Felipe, xubꞌij che: Jat pa ri relibꞌal qꞌij pa ri bꞌe ri keꞌ pa ri katzꞌinow ulew rech Jerusalén ri keꞌ pa Gaza.
27 And having arisen, he went on, and lo, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship to Jerusalem;
Xunimaj kꞌu ri Felipe ri xbꞌix che, xeꞌ je laꞌ. Pa ri bꞌe xuriq ri yakal pwaq rech Etiopía, upetik pa qꞌijilaꞌnem pa ri tinimit Jerusalén jun achi eunuco ri sibꞌalaj nim ubꞌanik, chajil rech ronojel ri ujastaq ri Chuchuꞌ Candace nim taqanel pa Etiopía.
28 he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Tzalijem loq rech tꞌuyul pa ri eqomal, tajin kusikꞌij ri wuj rech ri qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios Isaías.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, 'Go near, and be joined to this chariot;'
Ri Uxlabꞌixel xubꞌij che ri Felipe: Chatqebꞌ rukꞌ we jun eqomal riꞌ, chatbꞌin chuxukut.
30 and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, 'Dost thou then know what thou dost read?'
Kaxikꞌan ri Felipe, xqet chuxukut ri eqomal, xuto chi ri achi ri kꞌo chupam tajin kusikꞌij ri wuj rech Isaías, xuta che: ¿La kachꞌobꞌ ri tajin kasikꞌij?
31 and he said, 'Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide me?' he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.
Ri eunuco xubꞌij che: ¿Jas che kinchꞌobꞌo? Man kꞌo ta jun kintoꞌw chuchꞌobꞌik. Are xbꞌiꞌtaj we riꞌ rumal ri achi ri man kakꞌuliꞌ taj, xubꞌij che ri Felipe chi katꞌuyiꞌ bꞌik rukꞌ pa ri eqomal.
32 And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was this: 'As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb before his shearer dumb, so he doth not open his mouth;
Jewaꞌ kubꞌij ri tajin kusikꞌij ri achi: Xkꞌam bꞌik pa kamisaxik jetaq kabꞌan che jun laj chij. Xa ta ne jun tzij xubꞌij, je xubꞌano jacha kubꞌan ri alaj chij are kakꞌam bꞌik pa pilik.
33 in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation — who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.'
Man xya ta uqꞌij, man xbꞌan ta ri qas usukꞌ che. Maj xa ta ne jun rijaꞌl xkꞌojiꞌk jeriꞌ rumal cher xesax ri ukꞌaslemal cho ri uwachulew.
34 And the eunuch answering Philip said, 'I pray thee, about whom doth the prophet say this? about himself, or about some other one?'
Kꞌa te riꞌ, ri eunuco xuta che ri Felipe: “Chabꞌij chwe ¿jachin tajin kutzijoj rij chi riꞌ la are ri qꞌalajisal tzij o jun winaq chik?”
35 and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him — Jesus.
Ri Felipe xuchapleꞌj utzijoxik che ri achi ri utz laj tzij rech ri Jesús, xuchapleꞌj rukꞌ ri tajin kusikꞌij.
36 And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, 'Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?'
Junam e bꞌenaq are xoꞌpan pa jun kꞌolibꞌal jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi jaꞌ, ri achi xubꞌij che ri Felipe: Chawilampeꞌ, kꞌo jaꞌ chi riꞌ. ¿La utz kabꞌan nuqasanaꞌ?
37 [And Philip said, 'If thou dost believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, 'I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;']
Ri Felipe xubꞌij: We qas tzij katkojon che ri Jesús, utz kabꞌan aqasanaꞌ. Ri eunuco xubꞌij: Kinkojo rukꞌ ronojel wanimaꞌ chi ri Jesús are ukꞌojol ri Dios.
38 and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him;
Ri achi xtaqan chutakꞌabꞌaxik ri eqomal, xeqaj pa ri jaꞌ, xbꞌan uqasanaꞌ rumal ri Felipe.
39 and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
Are xeꞌl loq pa ri jaꞌ, ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Dios xukꞌam bꞌik ri Felipe. Man xil ta chi uwach rumal ri achi. Ri achi ri man kakꞌuliꞌ taj xutaqej ri ubꞌe rukꞌ nimalaj kiꞌkotemal.
40 and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, till his coming to Caesarea.
Xaq kꞌa teꞌ ri Felipe xopan pa ri tinimit Azoto jawjeꞌ xutzijoj wi ri utzij ri Dios, xutzijoj xuqujeꞌ ri utz laj tzij pa taq ri tinimit ri xikꞌow wi bꞌik xopan pa ri tinimit Cesarea.
