Hechos 13

1 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.

NOW there were at Antioch, according to the established church, prophets and teachers; such as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger the black, and Lucius a Cyrenian, and Manaen, Herod the tetrarch’s foster-brother, and Saul.

2 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.

And as they were employed in the ministry, and kept a fast, the Holy Ghost said, Set apart for me now both Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

3 Xkibꞌan kꞌu qꞌipoj waꞌim xuqujeꞌ xkibꞌan chꞌawem pa kiwiꞌ ri Saulo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xkiya kiqꞌabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkitaq bꞌik.

Then having kept a fast and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them out.

4 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.

They then being sent forth indeed by the Holy Ghost, went down to Seleucia; and from thence sailed to Cyprus.

5 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.

And being at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had John also as their attendant.

6 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.

Now as they travelled through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain person who professed magic, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:

7 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.

who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; he inviting to his house Barnabas and Saul, desired earnestly to hear the word of God.

8 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.

But Elymas the magician (for such is his name when interpreted) opposed them, seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

9 Ri Saulo ubꞌiꞌ Pablo xnoj che ri Uxlabꞌixel ko xukaꞌyej ri achi.

Then Saul (now Paul), filled with the Holy Ghost, and fixing his eyes upon him,

10 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?

said, O thou full of all guile and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the strait ways of the Lord?

11 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.

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, seeing the sun no more for a season. And instantly there fell on him a thick mist and darkness; and groping about he sought some to lead him by the hand.

12 Ri qꞌatal tzij are xril ri xkꞌulmatajik, xkojonik rumal xmayijanik che ri kꞌutuꞌn rech ri Ajawxel Jesús.

Then when the proconsul saw what was done, he believed, being struck with the doctrine of the Lord.

13 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.

Hereupon sailing from Paphos, they who were about Paul came to Perga in Pamphylia: but John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

14 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.

And they departed from Perga, and came to Antioch in Pisidia, and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, they sat down.

15 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.

Then after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogues sent to them, saying, Men and brethren, if ye are disposed to give a word of exhortation to the people, speak.

16 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.

Then Paul arose, and waving his hand, said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hear me.

17 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.

The God of this people Israel selected our fathers, and exalted the people during their abode in the land of Egypt, and with a mighty arm brought he them out of it.

18 Xukochꞌ uwach chike kawinaq junabꞌ are xebꞌin pa ri katzꞌinow ulew.

And about the space of forty years he bore with their behaviour in the wilderness.

19 Xusach kiwach wuqubꞌ tinimit ri e kꞌo pa Canaán rech jeriꞌ xuya ri ulew chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel.

And destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he distributed their territory to them by lot.

20 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.

And after these things, during a space of about four hundred and fifty years, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

21 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.

And from that time they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years.

22 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.

And removing him, he raised up unto them David to be king; respecting whom also he spake testifying, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who shall perform all my intentions.”

23 Ri Jesús kꞌut are jun chike ri e rijaꞌl ri David are waꞌ ri kolonel uchiꞌm loq ri Dios chike ri utinimit Israel.

From this man’s seed according to the promise hath God raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

24 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.

John having preached before his first coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 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.”

But as John was finishing his course, he said, Whom do ye suppose me to be? I am not the Messiah. But, behold! he is coming after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

26 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.

Men and brethren, children of the race of Abraham, and all among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

27 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.

For they who dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, being ignorant of him, and the words of the prophets that are read every sabbath-day, by condemning him have fulfilled them.

28 Man kꞌo ta kꞌu rumal kakamisaxik, pune jeriꞌ xkita wi che ri Pilato chi kakamisaxik.

And though they found no cause of death in him, they besought Pilate that he might be killed.

29 Are xbꞌantaj kumal ronojel ri tzꞌibꞌatal chrij ri Jesús, xkiqasaj cho ri cheꞌ kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkimuqu kanoq.

But when they had finished all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

30 Ri Dios kꞌut xukꞌastajisaj uwach chkixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ.

But God raised him from the dead:

31 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.

and he was seen many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

32 Kamik riꞌ, uj kꞌo waral chutzijoxik ri utz laj tzij ri bꞌiꞌtal loq chike ri e qamam ojer.

And we preach to you the promise made to our fathers;

33 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.

for this hath God fulfilled to their children, even to us, in raising up Jesus: as it is also written in the second Psalm, “Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.”

34 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.

But that he raised him from the dead, no more in future to return to corruption, he hath thus spoken, “I will give you the holy things of David, which are sure.”

35 Kꞌo chi jun Salmo ri kꞌyaqal kubꞌan chubꞌixik: Man kaya ta la bꞌe chi ri Tyox patanil e la kaqꞌay pa ri jul.

Wherefore also he saith in another place, “Thou wilt not permit thy Holy One to see corruption.”

36 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.

For David indeed, after having served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw corruption.

37 Man are ta kutzijoj rij ri David xane jun winaq chik ri xkꞌastajisax rumal ri Dios ri man xqꞌay ta ri ubꞌaqil.

But he, whom God raised up, saw no corruption.

38 Qachalal, chitampeꞌ, uj kꞌo waral che uqꞌalajisaxik chi kꞌo kuybꞌal imak rumal ri Jesús.

Be it therefore known unto you, men and brethren, that through this man remission of sin is proclaimed to you:

39 Xapachin ri kakojon che ri Jesús kabꞌantaj sukꞌ che cho ri Dios, are waꞌ ri man xkwin ta ri utaqanik ri Moisés xubꞌano.

and by this man shall every one who believeth be justified from all things, from which it was not possible that he should be justified by the law of Moses.

40 Qas chixchomanoq rech man kakꞌulmataj ta iwukꞌ ri xkibꞌij loq ri e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios, are xkibꞌij:

Take heed then, that this come not upon you, which is spoken by the prophets;

41 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.

“Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I do a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though one declare it unto you.”

42 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.

But when the Jews were going out of the synagogue, the Gentiles entreated that these words might be spoken to them the following sabbath.

43 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.

And when the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, exhorting them, persuaded them to abide stedfast in the grace of God.

44 Che ri jun qꞌij chik rech uxlanem, konojel ri winaq rech ri tinimit xkimulij kibꞌ chutayik ri utzij ri Dios.

And on the next sabbath almost all the city thronged together to hear the word of God.

45 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.

But the Jews seeing the multitude, were filled with envy, and opposed the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.

46 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 g166)

Then Paul and Barnabas speaking with undaunted boldness, said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken unto you: but since ye have thrust it from you, and judged yourselves not worthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 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.

For so hath the Lord enjoined us, “I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou mightest be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth.”

48 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 g166)

Now when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and they believed, even as many as were ordained to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

49 Ri utzij ri Dios xjabꞌun pa ri tinimit riꞌ.

So the word of the Lord was diffused through the whole region.

50 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.

Then the Jews stirred up the devout women, and those who were respectable, and the principal persons of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.

51 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.

But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.

52 Ri tijoxelabꞌ xenoj che kiꞌkotemal xuqujeꞌ che ri Uxlabꞌixel.

And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
