Lucas 1
1 Loqꞌalaj Teófilo: E kꞌi ri winaq ri xkaj xkitzꞌibꞌaj pa cholaj ri tzijobꞌelil chrij ri qas xkꞌulmataj waral chiqaxoꞌl.
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
2 Are waꞌ ri xkikꞌut loq chiqawach ri qas xiꞌlow ronojel ri xkꞌulmatajik pa ri majibꞌal re, ri e tzijol taq re ri utz laj tzij.
even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,
3 Ri in xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj utz rilik xuqujeꞌ usolixik xinbꞌano rech xinwetaꞌmaj ronojel ri ucholajil ri jastaq ri xkꞌulmatajik qas pa ri majibꞌal rech. Rumal waꞌ xinchomaj utzꞌibꞌaxik chawe pa ucholajil, nimalaj Teófilo,
it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus;
4 rech kawetaꞌmaj ri qas tzij chrij ri kꞌutuꞌn ri yaꞌom chawe.
that thou mightest know the certainty concerning the things wherein thou wast instructed.
5 Pa taq ri qꞌij che riꞌ are taqanel ri Herodes pa ri Judea, kꞌo jun chꞌawenel cho ri Dios ubꞌiꞌ Zacarías jun chike ri wok e rijaꞌl ri Abías, ri rixoqil are ri Elisabet, rijaꞌl ri Aarón.
There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6 Kikꞌulajal e utz laj taq winaq, sukꞌ kanimaꞌ cho ri Dios. Xeniman che ronojel ri utaqanik ri Dios. Man kꞌo ta etzelal xkibꞌano.
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 Maj kꞌu e kal rumal cher ri Elisabet man kakwin taj kuya ral pa ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ e nimaq taq winaq chik.
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years.
8 Jun qꞌijal ri Zacarías are tajin kapatanij pa ri Templo rech ri Dios rumal cher xuriq ri qꞌij are kapatanik ri uwo kaj.
Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
9 Jacha ri kubꞌij ri naqꞌatajibꞌal kech ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, kakikꞌyaq rij jachin ri chꞌawenel kok bꞌik pa utemplo ri Dios chutzujik ri incienso.
according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 Are tajin kaporox ri incienso, ri winaq ri kimulim kibꞌ tajin kakibꞌan apanoq chꞌawem cho ri Templo rech ri Dios.
And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.
11 Are tajin kuporoj incienso ri Zacarías xukꞌut ribꞌ jun ángel choch, xtakꞌiꞌ pa ri wiqiqꞌabꞌ rech ri tzujbꞌal sipanik jaw ri kaporox wi ri incienso.
And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Are xril ri Zacarías ri ángel, xkꞌaxir ranimaꞌ, sibꞌalaj xuxiꞌj ribꞌ.
And Zacharias was troubled when he saw [him], and fear fell upon him.
13 Ri ángel xubꞌij che: Man kaxiꞌj ta awibꞌ. Ri achꞌawem xtataj rumal ri Dios. Kakꞌojiꞌ na jun akꞌojol rukꞌ ri awixoqil Elisabet, Juan kakoj che ubꞌiꞌ.
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14 Sibꞌalaj katkiꞌkot na rumal rech ri akꞌal, xuqujeꞌ e kꞌi winaq kekiꞌkot na we xkil uwach.
And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 Jeriꞌ rumal cher nim na uqꞌij cho ri Dios. Man kutij ta wi vino xuqujeꞌ tzam. Kanojisax na che ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel are kꞌo chupam ri unan.
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
16 E kꞌi winaq aꞌj Israel ketzalij na rukꞌ ri Ajawxel ri kiDios rumal rech areꞌ.
And many of the children of Israel shall he turn unto the Lord their God.
17 Kanabꞌej na cho ri Ajawxel rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kwinem jetaq ri xya che ri Elías, kubꞌan na chi kesukꞌiꞌ ri tat nan kukꞌ ri alkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kubꞌan na chi ri man keniman taj kakikꞌamawaꞌj ketaꞌmabꞌal chike ri sukꞌ taq winaq. Rech jeriꞌ ri winaq kakisukꞌumaj apanoq kibꞌ chirayeꞌxik ri Ajawxel.
And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient [to walk] in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared [for him].
18 Ri Zacarías xubꞌij che ri ángel: ¿Jas kinbꞌan chi retaꞌmaxik chi qas kakꞌulmataj na we jastaq riꞌ? In in riꞌj achi chik, ri wixoqil xuqujeꞌ bꞌenaq chi ri ujunabꞌ.
And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
19 Ri ángel xubꞌij: In in Gabriel, in kꞌo cho ri Dios chanim, areꞌ xintaqow loq chubꞌixik we utz laj taq tzij riꞌ chawe.
And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to bring thee these good tidings.
20 Rumal kꞌu cher man xakoj ta ri xinbꞌij chawe, katmemar kan chanim, man katkwin taj katchꞌawik, ka chi kꞌol na ri akꞌal kꞌa te riꞌ kajaqataj ri achꞌabꞌal. Kakꞌulmataj na ri nutzij pa ri qꞌotaj ri kajawatajik.
And behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
21 Ri winaq ri aꞌyeninaq ri Zacarías xemayijanik rumal cher maj ri kel loq.
And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled while he tarried in the temple.
22 Are xel loq, man kakwin ta chik kachꞌawik. Xaq pa memal tzij chik xtzijon kukꞌ, xkichomaj kꞌut chi xa xril jun kꞌutbꞌal pa ri Tyoxalaj kꞌolibꞌal.
And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: and he continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb.
23 Are xtoꞌtaj ri Zacarías che ri patanijik pa ri Templo, xtzalij cho rachoch.
And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were fulfilled, he departed unto his house.
24 Ikꞌowinaq chi jun janipa qꞌij, ri Elisabet rixoqil ri Zacarías xkanaj yawabꞌ ixoq. Ri Elisabet jobꞌ ikꞌ xaq cho rachoch xkꞌojiꞌ wi.
And after these days Elisabeth his wife conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,
25 Sibꞌalaj utz ri wAjaw, xinresaj pa ri nukꞌixibꞌal rech man kinkiyoqꞌ ta chi ri winaq, xcha ri Elisabet.
Thus hath the Lord done unto me in the days wherein he looked upon [me], to take away my reproach among men.
26 Pa ri uwaq ikꞌ rech ri uyawajik ri Elisabet, xtaq loq ri ángel Gabriel pa Nazaret, jun leꞌaj ri kꞌo pa Galilea.
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 Xopan rukꞌ jun qꞌapoj ali, ubꞌiꞌ María, ri tzꞌonom chik rumal jun achi ubꞌiꞌ José, jun rijaꞌl ri Taqanel David.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28 Ri Gabriel xukꞌut ribꞌ choch ri María, xubꞌij che: ¡Rutzil awach, at jun ixoq chaꞌtalik, ri Ajawxel kꞌo awukꞌ!
And he came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee.
29 Ri María xsach ukꞌuꞌx, xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ranimaꞌ, xuchomaj rij ri kubꞌij ri ángel.
But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be.
30 Ri ángel xubꞌij che: ¡Man kaxiꞌj ta awibꞌ María, at chaꞌtal rumal ri Dios!
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 Katiktaj na jun akꞌal chawe, kalax na, kakoj Jesús che ubꞌiꞌ.
And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 Kanimar na uqꞌij, kabꞌix na ukꞌojol ri Nimalaj Dios che. Ri Ajawxel Dios kukoj na che nim taqanel jetaq ri qamam David.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Ri María xubꞌij: ¿Jamo riꞌ kakꞌulmataj we riꞌ? Man in kꞌolinaq ta in rukꞌ achi.
And Mary said unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 Ri ángel xubꞌij che: Ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel kaqaj na loq paꞌwiꞌ. Ri ukwinem ri nimalaj Dios katuchꞌuq na. Rumal riꞌ, ri neꞌ riꞌ ri kakꞌojiꞌ na, jun Tyoxalaj akꞌal, xuqujeꞌ kubꞌiꞌnaꞌj na Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios.
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee: wherefore also that which is to be born shall be called holy, the Son of God.
36 Ri Elisabet ri awachalal xkanaj yawabꞌ winaq pa ri uriꞌjobꞌnaqil. Waqibꞌ ikꞌ chik yawabꞌ winaq pune xbꞌix che kumal ri winaq chi man kakwin taj kuꞌya ral pa ri uwachulew.
And behold, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren.
37 Maj jun jastaq ri mat kakwin ri Dios che ubꞌanik.
For no word from God shall be void of power.
38 Ri María xubꞌij: In patanil rech ri Ajawxel. Kꞌulmataj wukꞌ ronojel ri xabꞌij. Ri ángel xtzalijik.
And Mary said, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39 Kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij chik ikꞌowinaq we kꞌulmatajem riꞌ, ri María xeꞌ pa taq ri juyubꞌ pa ri tinimit rech Judea.
And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;
40 Are xopan chilaꞌ, xok bꞌik pa ri rachoch ri Zacarías, xuya rutzil uwach ri Elisabet.
and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth.
41 Are xuta ri Elisabet ri rutzil wach ri xya rumal ri María, xchꞌoplaj ri ral chupam, xnoj kꞌut che ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost;
42 Ri Elisabet xuraq uchiꞌ chech kiꞌkotemal, xubꞌij che ri María: Sibꞌalaj at tewchiꞌtalik chikiwach konojel ri ixoqibꞌ. Xuqujeꞌ tewchiꞌtal ri awal.
and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.
43 ¿Jas che xya bꞌe chwe, kinulusolij ri unan ri Wajaw?
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me?
44 Are xinta ri rutzil nuwach xuyaꞌo, xchꞌoplaj ri nuneꞌ ri kꞌo chinupam xchꞌoplaj che kiꞌkotemal.
For behold, when the voice of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 Sibꞌalaj at tewchiꞌtalik rumal cher xakojo chi ri Ajawxel kubꞌan ri xuchiꞌj chawe.
And blessed [is] she that believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.
46 Ri María xubꞌij: Ri wanimaꞌ sibꞌalaj kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Ajawxel.
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 Sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkot ri wanimaꞌ pa ri nuDios, nukolonel.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 Xel ukꞌuꞌx che we patanijel rech ri man nim ta uqꞌij. Konojel kꞌu ri winaq kakibꞌij na riꞌ chwe chi in tewchiꞌtalik.
For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden: For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Tyox xuqujeꞌ kwinel laj Dios xubꞌan nimalaj taq jastaq wukꞌ.
For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; And holy is his name.
50 Kutoqꞌobꞌisaj kiwach konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌolik xuqujeꞌ ri kekꞌojiꞌ na. Ri winaq kakimochꞌ kibꞌ choch.
And his mercy is unto generations and generations On them that fear him.
51 Rukꞌ ri utelebꞌ xubꞌan nimalaj taq jastaq, xusach kiwach ri winaq ri nimal chike xuqujeꞌ ri kakinimarisaj kibꞌ.
He hath shewed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.
52 Xresaj ri taqanik pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri nimaꞌq kibꞌanik, xuya kiqꞌij ri winaq ri nim taj kiqꞌij.
He hath put down princes from [their] thrones, And hath exalted them of low degree.
53 Xuya jastaq kech ri kenumik, maj ke ri qꞌinomabꞌ xuyaꞌo.
The hungry he hath filled with good things; And the rich he hath sent empty away.
54 Xutoꞌ ri utinimit Israel, man xsachan ta che ubꞌanik ri utzilal kukꞌ.
He hath holpen Israel his servant, That he might remember mercy
55 Jeriꞌ xubꞌano rumal cher xuchiꞌj kan che ri qamam Abraham xuqujeꞌ amaqꞌel chike ri e rijaꞌl chi jewaꞌ kubꞌan na. (aiōn g165)
(As he spake unto our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed for ever. (aiōn g165)
56 Ri María xkanaj kan oxibꞌ ikꞌ rukꞌ ri Elisabet kꞌa te riꞌ xtzalij cho rachoch.
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
57 Are xopan ri qꞌij, kakꞌojiꞌ ri ral ri Elisabet, xalax ri ral, ala ri ral.
Now Elisabeth’s time was fulfilled that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
58 Ri ukꞌulja ri Elisabet xuqujeꞌ ri e rachalal xekiꞌkotik are xketaꞌmaj chi ri Dios sibꞌalaj xutoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri Elisabet.
And her neighbours and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her; and they rejoiced with her.
59 Are xtzꞌaqat wajxaqibꞌ uqꞌij ri neꞌ, xkimulij kibꞌ rech kakilo kakoj retal, xkaj kꞌut xkikoj Zacarías che ubꞌiꞌ, jetaq ri ubꞌiꞌ ri utat.
And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
60 Ri Elisabet kꞌut xubꞌij: ¡Man je ta riꞌ! Juan kubꞌiꞌnaꞌj we akꞌal riꞌ.
And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
61 ¿Jas che? xecha ri winaq. Man kꞌo ta jun chike ri awachalal jeriꞌ ubꞌiꞌ.
And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
62 Pa memal tzij kꞌut xkita che ri utat ri akꞌal jas ubꞌiꞌ ri ukꞌojol kukojo.
And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
63 Ri Zacarías xuta jun chꞌaqaꞌp tzꞌalam chike rech kutzꞌibꞌaj choch jas ri bꞌiꞌaj. Sibꞌalaj xemayijan kꞌut are xkilo ri xutzꞌibꞌaj “Juan ubꞌiꞌ.”
And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marveled all.
64 Aninaq xjaqataj ri uchꞌabꞌal ri Zacarías, xuchapleꞌj uqꞌijilaꞌxik ri Dios.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue [loosed], and he spake, blessing God.
65 Xtzijox kꞌu ronojel we kꞌulmatajem riꞌ pa taq ri tinimit ri kꞌo pa taq ri juyubꞌ rech Judea, konojel ri e kuꞌl ja xkixiꞌj kibꞌ.
And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
66 Konojel ri winaq ri xetowik kakitatabꞌela chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: ¿Jas kux we akꞌal ri? Jeꞌ xkibꞌij waꞌ rumal qꞌalaj chi ri Ajawxel Dios kꞌo rukꞌ ri akꞌal.
And all that heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Ri Zacarías, ri utat ri akꞌal, xnoj che ri Uxlabꞌixel, xubꞌij:
And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 Chiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Ajawxel, ri Dios rech ri tinimit Israel, xusolij ri utinimit, xutoꞌo pa ri qꞌoxom.
Blessed [be] the Lord, the God of Israel; For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
69 Xutaq loq jun kwinel laj kolonel rijaꞌl ri patanil rech, David.
And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of his servant David
70 Are waꞌ ri xuchiꞌj loq ri Dios chi kichiꞌ ri tyoxalaj taq qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij, ojer. (aiōn g165)
(As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets which have been since the world began), (aiōn g165)
71 Kujutoꞌ na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri e qakꞌulel, xuqujeꞌ pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri kaketzelaj qawach.
Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;

To shew mercy towards our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant;
73 Are waꞌ ri chꞌekom tzij xubꞌan kan rukꞌ ri qamam Abraham.
The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father,
74 Xujesax na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri qakꞌulel rech kaqapatanij ri Dios man rukꞌ ta xibꞌin ibꞌ,
To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear,
75 rukꞌ jun tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal xuqujeꞌ sukꞌal, pa ronojel qꞌij rech ri qakꞌaslemal.
In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
76 At, nukꞌojol, kabꞌix na qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij ri nimalaj Dios chawe, kasukꞌumaj na apanoq ri ubꞌe ri Ajawxel.
Yea and thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High: For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways;
77 Katzijoj na jas kakibꞌan ri winaq rech kekolotajik xuqujeꞌ kekuyutaj che ri kimak.
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people In the remission of their sins,
78 Tyox che ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios, katunan na ri tunal rech pa ri kaj, chiqaxoꞌl.
Because of the tender mercy of our God, Whereby the dayspring from on high shall visit us,
79 Kuꞌtunaj na ri e kꞌo pa ri qꞌequꞌmal, pa ri uqꞌequꞌmal ri kamikal, xuqujeꞌ kukꞌam na qabꞌe pa ri ubꞌeal ri jaꞌmaril.
To shine upon them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death; To guide our feet into the way of peace.
80 Xkꞌiy kꞌu ri Juan, sibꞌalaj xpe uchuqꞌabꞌ pa ri ranimaꞌ. Xkꞌojiꞌ pa ri katzꞌinow ulew kꞌa pa ri qꞌij are xukꞌut ribꞌ chkiwach ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
