Hechos 8
1 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.
And Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time there was raised a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 (E kꞌo kꞌu jujun utz laj taq winaq xkoqꞌej ri Esteban, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkimuqu kanoq).
And devout men took order for Stephen’s funeral, and made great mourning over him.
3 Are kꞌu ri Saulo xuchapleꞌj ubꞌanik kꞌax chike ri e kojonelabꞌ. Xok cho taq ri ja, xuꞌkꞌam bꞌik achyabꞌ, ixoqibꞌ, xuꞌkoj pa cheꞌ.
But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house, and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison.
4 Are kꞌu ri kojonelabꞌ ri xejabꞌun bꞌik pa taq ri tinimit, xkitzijoj ri utz laj tzij rech ri Jesús xapawjeꞌ ri xebꞌe wi.
They therefore that were dispersed, went about preaching the word of God.
5 Ri Felipe xeꞌ pa ri tinimit Samaria, chilaꞌ xutzijoj wi ri Mesías chike ri winaq.
And Philip going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.
6 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.
And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 Xeꞌsax e kꞌi itzel taq uxlabꞌal chike ri winaq, e kꞌi chꞌokeꞌr xuqujeꞌ ri kaminaq kibꞌaqil, xuꞌtzirik.
For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out.
8 Sibꞌalaj xekiꞌkot ri winaq ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit.
And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed.
9 Kꞌo kꞌu jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Simón, jun najtir aj itz kubꞌan mayijabꞌal taq jastaq chikiwach ri winaq rech Samaria, kubꞌij chi sibꞌalaj nim reqeleꞌn.
There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon, who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one:
10 Konojel ri winaq ta kꞌu akꞌalabꞌ ta kꞌu riꞌjabꞌ kakibꞌij chi we achi riꞌ: Nim uqꞌij xuqujeꞌ kꞌo ukwinem ri Dios rukꞌ.
To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great.
11 Ojer chik katatabꞌex kumal ri winaq rumal che ri ubꞌanom mayijabꞌal taq jastaq rukꞌ ri itzinik.
And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices.
12 Ri winaq xekojon che ri utz laj tzij rech ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Jesucristo e kꞌi achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ xbꞌan kiqasanaꞌ.
But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 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.
Then Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done.
14 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.
Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John.
15 Are xoꞌpan ri Juan rachiꞌl ri Pedro, xkibaꞌn chꞌawem pa kiwiꞌ ri kꞌakꞌ taq kojonelabꞌ rech kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri Uxlabꞌixel.
Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
16 Rumal cher majaꞌ kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri Uxlabꞌixel xwi bꞌantal kiqasanaꞌ pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesús.
For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Ri Pedro kꞌut xuqujeꞌ ri Juan xkiya ri kiqꞌabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ, rech xa jeriꞌ xkikꞌamawaꞌj ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 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.
And when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 Jewaꞌ xubꞌij: Chiya we ri chuqꞌabꞌ ri kꞌo iwukꞌ, rech are kinya xuqujeꞌ nuqꞌabꞌ in pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said to him:
20 Ri Pedro xubꞌij che: Sach uwach ri arajil xuqujeꞌ sach awach at, rumal cher xachomaj chi ri usipanik ri Dios rukꞌ pwaq kaloqꞌik.
Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Man kꞌo ta awe che we sipanik riꞌ, rumal chi ri awanimaꞌ man sukꞌ ta cho ri Dios.
Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Chakꞌexa akꞌuꞌx che ri awetzelal, chabꞌana chꞌawem cho ri Ajawxel, wine kukuy ri itzel taq achomanik.
Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness; and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
23 Kinwilo chi kꞌo jun nimalaj etzelal pa ri awanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri mak at ujatꞌim.
For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bonds of iniquity.
24 Ri Simón xubꞌij: Chibꞌana bꞌa chꞌawem pa nuwiꞌ rech man kakꞌulmataj ta wukꞌ we kꞌax taq jastaq ri xibꞌij.
Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord, that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.
25 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.
And they indeed having testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many countries of the Samaritans.
26 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.
Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert.
27 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.
And rising up, he went. And behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore.
28 Tzalijem loq rech tꞌuyul pa ri eqomal, tajin kusikꞌij ri wuj rech ri qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios Isaías.
And he was returning, sitting in this chariot, and reading Isaias the prophet.
29 Ri Uxlabꞌixel xubꞌij che ri Felipe: Chatqebꞌ rukꞌ we jun eqomal riꞌ, chatbꞌin chuxukut.
And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30 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?
And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest?
31 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.
Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 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.
And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth.
33 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.
In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth?
34 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?”
And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Ri Felipe xuchapleꞌj utzijoxik che ri achi ri utz laj tzij rech ri Jesús, xuchapleꞌj rukꞌ ri tajin kusikꞌij.
Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.
36 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?
And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized?
37 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.
And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 Ri achi xtaqan chutakꞌabꞌaxik ri eqomal, xeqaj pa ri jaꞌ, xbꞌan uqasanaꞌ rumal ri Felipe.
And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him.
39 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.
And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing.
40 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.
But Philip was found in Azotus; and passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
