Lucas 6
1 Pa jun qꞌij rech Uxlanem are tajin kabꞌin ri Jesús pa nikꞌaj ulew ri tikom, ri utijoxelabꞌ xkichapleꞌj uchꞌupik ri ujolom ri tiriko, xkichꞌolo xuqujeꞌ xkichapleꞌj utijik.
One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), while Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples, the disciples picked some of the heads of grain. They rubbed them in their hands [to separate the grains from the husks], and ate the grain. [The law of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
2 E kꞌo nikꞌaj fariseos xkibꞌij che ri Jesús: ¿Jas che ri atijoxelabꞌ kakibꞌan ri man yaꞌtal ta ubꞌanik pa ri qꞌij rech uxlanem?
Some Pharisees [who were watching] said to Jesus, “(You should not be doing on our rest day [work] that [our] laws forbid!/Why are you doing on our rest day [work] that our laws forbid?)” [RHQ]
3 Ri Jesús xutzalij uwach ri kitzij, xubꞌij: ¿La man lo isikꞌim ri tzꞌibꞌatalik, kubꞌij jas xkꞌulmataj rukꞌ ri David xuqujeꞌ ri e rachiꞌl are xenumik?
[Jesus wanted to show them that the record in Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. [So] he replied, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David did when he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, ([but you do not think about what it implies/so why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
4 Xok bꞌik pa ri rachoch ri Dios, xuqꞌipij ri taqanik are xutij ri tyoxalaj kaxlan wa xuqujeꞌ xuya ke ri rachiꞌl, we kaxlan wa ri xkitijo xwi taqal chike kakitijo ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios.
David entered God’s big worship tent [and asked for some food]. [The high priest gave him] the bread that the priests had presented to God. It was permitted [in] one of [Moses’ laws] that only the priests could eat that bread. But [even though David was not a priest], he ate some, and gave some to the men who were with him. [And God did not consider that what David did was wrong]!”
5 Xuqujeꞌ xubꞌij ri Jesús: ri uKꞌojol ri Achi are ajchoqꞌe ri qꞌij rech uxlanem.
Jesus also said to them, “[I am] the one who came from heaven, so [I] have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do on] the day of rest!”
6 Pa jun qꞌij rech uxlanem, are tajin kuya kꞌutuꞌn ri Jesús pa ri Sinagoga, kꞌo kꞌu jun achi, kaminaq ri wiqiqꞌabꞌ uqꞌabꞌ.
Another (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus entered a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place) and taught the people. There was a man there whose right hand was shriveled.
7 Ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ ri fariseos xkikꞌakꞌaleꞌj ri Jesús, ri kichomanik are chi we ri Jesús kukunaj ri achi pa ri qꞌij rech uxlanem, kakimol umak rumal cher kachakun pa ri qꞌij rech uxlanem.
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees [who were there] watched Jesus, to see if he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this so that, [if he healed the man], they would accuse him [of disobeying their laws by working on the day of rest].
8 Retaꞌm kꞌu ri Jesús ri kichomanik, xubꞌij che ri achi: Chatan loq, chattakꞌal chikiwach konojel. Ri achi kꞌut xtakꞌiꞌk chikiwach konojel ri winaq.
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come and stand here [in front of everyone]!” So the man got up and stood there.
9 Xubꞌij ri Jesús chike ri winaq ri kakimol umak: Kꞌo jun kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ kawaj kinbꞌan chiꞌwe: ¿Jas ri utz kaqabꞌan pa ri qꞌij rech uxlanem, la are utz kabꞌan ri utzilal o are utz kabꞌan ri etzelal? ¿La are utz kakol jun kꞌaslemal o kakꞌis puꞌwiꞌ jun kꞌaslemal?
Then Jesus said to the others, “I ask you this: Do the laws that [God gave Moses] permit [people] to do what is good (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit people] to harm [others]? [Do they permit us] to save [a person’s] life [on our day of rest] or to let [him] die [HYP] [by refusing to help him]?”
10 Ri Jesús xuꞌkaꞌyej pa kijujunal konojel ri winaq ri e chemel chirij, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij che ri achi: Chayuqu le aqꞌabꞌ. Are xuquq ri uqꞌabꞌ, xutzirik.
[They refused to answer him. So] after he looked around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your [shriveled] hand!” The man did that, and his hand became all right again!
11 Ri fariseos xuqujeꞌ ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik sibꞌalaj xejiqꞌ che koyawal are xkil ri xkꞌulmatajik, xkichapleꞌj kꞌu uchomaxik jas kakibꞌan che ri Jesús.
But the men who taught the Jewish laws and the Pharisees were very angry, and they discussed with one another what they could do to [get rid of] Jesus.
12 Jubꞌiqꞌ qꞌotaj ikꞌowinaq we jastaq riꞌ, xpaqiꞌ ri Jesús puꞌwiꞌ jun juyubꞌ chubꞌanik chꞌawem. Jun aqꞌabꞌ xubꞌan chꞌawem cho ri Dios.
About that time [Jesus] went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.
13 Are xsaqirik, xuꞌsikꞌij konojel ri utijoxelabꞌ, xuchaꞌ kabꞌlajuj chike, xuya bꞌe chike kux e tereneꞌl taq re. Are waꞌ ri kibꞌiꞌ:
The next day he summoned all his disciples to come near him. From them he chose twelve men, whom he called apostles.
14 ri Simón ri xubꞌij Pedro che, ri Andrés uchaqꞌ ri Pedro, ri Jacobo, ri Juan, ri Felipe, ri Bartolomé,
They were Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name, Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James and [his younger brother], John; Philip; Bartholomew;
15 ri Mateo xuqujeꞌ ri Tomás, ri Jacobo ukꞌojol ri Alfeo, ri Simón ri kabꞌix “Zelote” che,
Matthew, whose other name was Levi; Thomas; [another] James, the [son] of Alpheus; Simon, who belonged to the party [that encouraged people to] rebel [against the Roman government];
16 ri Judas ri uchaqꞌ ri Jacobo, xuqujeꞌ ri Judas Iscariote ri xkꞌayin ri Jesús.
Judas, the [son] of [another] James; and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the one who later (betrayed Jesus./enabled the Jewish leaders to seize Jesus.)
17 Are xeqaj loq kipetik puꞌwiꞌ ri juyubꞌ, xekanaj cho jun nimalaj saq, sibꞌalaj kꞌi winaq e teren chirij ri Jesús, jaljoj taq kepe wi, e kꞌo aꞌj Judea, aꞌj Jerusalén, xuqujeꞌ aꞌj Tiro xuqujeꞌ Sidón.
[Jesus] came down from the hills with his disciples and stood on a level area. There was a very big crowd of his disciples there. There was also a large group of people who had come from Jerusalem and from many [other] places [in] Judea [district], and from the coastal areas near Tyre and Sidon [cities].
18 We winaq riꞌ xoꞌpan chutatabꞌexik ri Jesús rech kekunataj che ri yabꞌilal, xuqujeꞌ rech keꞌl bꞌik ri itzel taq uxlabꞌal ri kꞌo chike, jeriꞌ xekunatajik.
They came to hear Jesus talk to them and to be healed {and for him to heal them} from their diseases. He also healed those whom evil spirits had troubled.
19 Konojel ri winaq kakaj kakichap ri Jesús, rumal cher sibꞌalaj kꞌo ukwinem kakunanik.
Everyone [in the crowd] tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by [his/God’s] power.
20 Xubꞌij ri Jesús chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: Utz iwe ri ix mebꞌa rumal cher iwech ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
He looked [MTY] at his disciples and said, “[God] is pleased with you [who know] that you lack what [he wants you to have; ] he will allow you to be the people whose lives he rules over.
21 Utz iwe ri kixnum kamik rumal cher kayaꞌtaj na iwa rech kakubꞌiꞌ ikꞌuꞌx. Utz iwe ri kixoqꞌ kamik, rumal cher kixtzeꞌtzet na.
[God] is pleased with you who sincerely desire to receive what [MTY] [he wants you to have]; he will give you what you need, until you are satisfied. [God] is pleased with you that grieve now [because of sin]. Later you will be joyful.
22 Utz iwe are kixetzelaxik, are kabꞌan nitzꞌ chiꞌwe, are kabꞌix kꞌax taq tzij chiꞌwe, xuqujeꞌ man kaya ta iqꞌij, xa rumal cher ixkojoninaq che ri uKꞌojol ri Achi.
[God] is pleased with you when [other] people hate you, when they will not let you join them, when they insult you, when they say that you are evil because [you believe in] me, the one who came from heaven.
23 Sibꞌalaj chixkiꞌkotoq are kakꞌulmataj we riꞌ iwukꞌ. Chixchꞌoplajoq rumal cher ixrayeꞌm jun nimalaj tojbꞌal iwe pa ri kaj. Naꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi jeriꞌ xkibꞌan ri kitat kinan we winaq riꞌ chike ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios ojer.
When that happens, rejoice! Jump up and down because you are so happy! [God will give] you a great reward in heaven! [When they do these things to you, it will prove that you are God’s servants]. (OR, [People have always treated God’s servants like that].) Do not forget that these people’s ancestors did the same things to the prophets [who served God faithfully]!
24 Kꞌax iwe ix qꞌinom taq winaq, rumal cher ri ikiꞌkotemal xaq xwi chanim xuqujeꞌ xaq xwi cho ri uwachulew.
But there will be terrible punishment for you that are rich; the happiness you have received [from your riches] is the only happiness that you will get.
25 Nimalaj kꞌaxkꞌolal iwayeꞌm ri kixnoꞌjitajik, xuqujeꞌ ixchomaꞌq. Rumal cher kape na jun nimalaj wiꞌjal pa iwiꞌ. Nimalaj kꞌaxkꞌolal iwayeꞌm ix ri kixtzeꞌn kamik rumal cher ri itzeꞌ kakꞌexetaj na pa oqꞌej xuqujeꞌ pa kꞌax.
There will be terrible punishment for you who [think that you] have all that you need now; you will [realize] that these things will not make you feel satisfied. There will be terrible punishment for you who are joyful now; you will [later] be very sad.
26 Nimalaj kꞌax iwayeꞌm ix ri sibꞌalaj nim kixkil ri winaq kamik, jeriꞌ rumal cher jeriꞌ xkibꞌan ri itat inan ojer, nim xeꞌkil ri xkijaluj chi e tzijol taq rech ri utzij ri Dios.
When most [HYP] people speak well about you, trouble is ahead for you; [it will not prove that you are God’s servants, because] your ancestors used to speak well about those who falsely [claimed that they were] prophets.”
27 Ri ix ri kitatabꞌej we nutzij, kinbꞌij chiꞌwe: Chiꞌloqꞌaj ri iꞌkꞌulel, chibꞌana utzilal chike ri kakibꞌan koyawal chiꞌwe.
“But I say this to each of you [disciples] who are listening [to what I say]: Love your enemies [as well as your friends]. Do good things for those who hate you!
28 Chiꞌtewechiꞌj ri kaketzelaj iwach, chibꞌana chꞌawem pa kiwiꞌ ri kakibꞌan kꞌax chiꞌwe.
[Ask God to] bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
29 We kꞌo jun katchꞌayow che ri juperaj apalaj, chaya chi ri juperaj. We kꞌo jun kumaj ri achakeꞌt, chaya xuqujeꞌ kan ri akamiꞌx che.
If someone [insults one of you by] striking you on one of your cheeks, turn your face [so that he can strike] the other cheek [also]. If [a bandit] wants to take away your [(sg)] coat, let him also have your shirt.
30 Chaya che ri ajil tzꞌaqat ri jastaq ri kuta chawe. We kumaj jun jastaq awe, man kakoj ta achuqꞌabꞌ che utoqꞌixik che.
Give something to everyone who asks you [(sg) for something]. If someone takes away things that belong to you [(sg)], do not ask him to return them.
31 Je chatnoꞌjin kukꞌ ri winaq jacha ri kawaj at kenoꞌjin awukꞌ.
In whatever way you [(pl)] want others to act toward you, that is the way that you should act toward them.
32 We xaq xwi kiꞌloqꞌaj ri winaq ri kixloqꞌan ix, ¿jas rumal kinimarisaj iwibꞌ? Ri e winaq aꞌjmakibꞌ xuqujeꞌ keꞌkiloqꞌaj ri e winaq ri keloqꞌan aꞌreꞌ.
If you love [only] those who love you, do not [expect God] to praise you for [doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners love those who love them.
33 We xaq xwi kibꞌan utzil chike ri winaq ri kebꞌanow utzil chiꞌwe, ¿jas rumal kinimarisaj iwibꞌ? Je xuqujeꞌ waꞌ kakibꞌan ri aꞌjmakibꞌ.
If you do good things [only] for those who do good things for you, do not [expect God] to reward you [for doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners do that.
34 We xwi kiya pwaq pa qajik chike ri winaq ri kekwin chutzalixik ukꞌaxel, ¿jas rumal kinimarisaj iwibꞌ? Je xuqujeꞌ waꞌ kakibꞌan ri aꞌjmakibꞌ, kakiya pwaq pa qajik, rumal kakayeꞌj nim tojbꞌal kakichꞌek chirij.
If you lend [things or money only] to those who you expect will give something back to you, do not [expect that God] will reward you [RHQ] [for doing that]. Even sinners lend to other sinners, because they expect them to pay everything back.
35 Chiꞌloqꞌaj ri iꞌkꞌulel, chibꞌana utzil chike, chiya kiqajanik man kiwayeꞌj ta ukꞌaxelal, we jewaꞌ kibꞌano kikꞌamawaꞌj na nim ukꞌaxelal rech chilaꞌ chikaj, xuqujeꞌ chikꞌutuꞌ chi qas ix ralkꞌwaꞌl ri nimalaj Dios, ri Dios sibꞌalaj utz kukꞌ ri man ketyoxin taj xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ ri itzel taq winaq.
Instead, love your enemies! Do good things for them! Lend to them, and do not expect them to pay anything back! [If you do that, God will give] you a big reward. And you will be [acting like] his children [should]. Remember that God is kind to people who are not grateful and to people who are wicked, [and he expects you to be like that too].
36 Chitoqꞌobꞌisaj kiwach ri winaq jetaq ri iTat chilaꞌ chikaj sibꞌalaj kutoqꞌobꞌisaj kiwach ri winaq.
Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father [in heaven acts] mercifully [toward you].”
37 Man kiqꞌat ta tzij pa kiwiꞌ nikꞌaj winaq chik, rech man kaqꞌat ta tzij pa iwiꞌ ix rumal ri Dios. Man kikꞌis ta tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq rech man kakꞌis ta tzij pa iwiꞌ ix rumal ri Dios. Chikuyu kimak nikꞌaj winaq chik, rech kakuyutaj imak ix.
“Do not say how sinfully others have acted, and then [God] will not say how sinfully you have acted. Do not condemn others, and then [he] will not condemn you [DOU]. Forgive others [for the evil things that they have done to you], and then [God] will forgive you.
38 Chiyaꞌ rech kayaꞌtaj na chiꞌwe, katzalitaj na ukꞌaxel ri kiyaꞌo nojinaq, mesmetinaq, maj chi kakꞌojiꞌ wi pa ri ikꞌolibꞌal, rumal cher jetaq ri kibꞌan ix chuyaꞌik je kabꞌan na chuyaꞌik chiꞌwe.
Give [good things to others], and then [God] will give [good] things to you. It will be [as though] [MET] [God is putting things in a basket] for you. He will give you a full amount, pressed down in the basket, which he will shake [so that he can put more in], and it will spill over the sides! [Remember that] the way you act [toward others] will be the way that [God] will act toward you!”
39 Kꞌa te riꞌ ri Jesús xukoj jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj, xubꞌij: ¿La kakwin jun moy kukꞌam ubꞌe jun moy chik? ¿La man kikobꞌchal ri ketzaq bꞌik pa jun jul?
He also told [his disciples] this parable [to show them that they should be like him, and not be like the Jewish religious leaders]: “(You certainly would not [expect] a blind man to lead another blind man./Would you [expect] a blind man to lead [another] blind man?) [RHQ] If he tried to do [that], (they would both probably fall into a hole!/wouldn’t they both probably fall into a hole?) [RHQ] [I am your teacher, and you disciples should be like me].
40 Man are ta nim uqꞌij jun tijoxel cho ri rajtij. We kꞌu karetaꞌmaj ronojel ri jastaq kux na jetaq ri rajtij.
A disciple should not [expect to be] better known than his teacher. But if a student is fully trained {if someone fully trains a student}, the student can become like his teacher [MET]. [So you should be content to be like me].
41 ¿Jas kꞌu che kꞌax kanaꞌ che ri awachalal are kꞌo jun nitzꞌ mes pa ubꞌoqꞌoch are kꞌu ri at kꞌo jun kutaꞌm pa ri awe?
(Why do you notice [someone else’s small faults]?/None of you should be concerned about [someone else’s small faults] [MET, RHQ].) [That would be like] noticing a speck in that person’s eye. But you should be concerned about [your own big faults. They are like] planks in your own eye, [which you do not notice].
42 ¿Jas kꞌu che kabꞌij: “Wachalal, chaya bꞌe chwe kinwesaj ri nitzꞌ mes ri kꞌo pa ri abꞌoqꞌoch”? Katkwin ta kꞌut kawil jun jastaq chik, xwi ya kawil ri kutaꞌm ri kꞌo pa ri abꞌoqꞌoch at. ¡Kawach! Nabꞌe chawesaj ri kutaꞌm ri kꞌo pa ri abꞌoqꞌoch, rech katkwinik kawilo jas kabꞌan chi resaxik ri nitzꞌ mes ri kꞌo pa ubꞌoqꞌoch ri awachalal.
(You [(sg)] should not say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye!/Why do you say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye?) [RHQ] [If you do that], you are a hypocrite! You should first [stop committing your own sins. That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye. Then, as a result, you will have the spiritual insight you need to help others get rid of the [faults that are like] specks in their eyes.”
43 Man kꞌo ta jun utza cheꞌ itzel taq uwach kuyaꞌo xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta jun itzel cheꞌ utz taq uwach kuyaꞌo.
“[People are like trees] [MET]. Healthy trees do not bear bad fruit (OR, bear only good fruit), and unhealthy trees do not bear good fruit.
44 Jun cheꞌ etaꞌmatal uwach rumal ri uwach kuyaꞌo. Ri kꞌix man kuwachij ta higos, xuqujeꞌ ri ucheꞌal ri tukan man kuwachij ta uvas.
[Just like you] can tell if a tree is good or bad by looking at its fruit, [you can tell which people are good and which are bad by looking at the way they] conduct their lives. [For example, because thornbushes cannot produce figs], no one can pick figs from thornbushes. And [since bramble bushes cannot produce grapes], no one can [pick] grapes from bramble bushes.
45 Jun utz laj winaq are kutzijoj ri utz laj jastaq ri kꞌo pa ranimaꞌ. Jun itzel winaq are kutzijoj ri itzel taq jastaq ri kꞌo pa ranimaꞌ. Ronojel ri kubꞌij jun winaq are riꞌ ri yakal pa ranimaꞌ.
[Similarly], good people will conduct their lives in a good way because they think a lot of good [things], and evil people will live in an evil way because they think a lot of evil [things]. The basic principle is that people speak [and act] according to all that they think.”
46 ¿Jas che kibꞌij chwe “Ajawxel, Ajawxel”, kꞌa te riꞌ man kinimaj ta ri kinbꞌij?
“[Because people should obey what their masters tell them], (it is disgraceful that you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you!/why do you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you?) [RHQ]
47 Chanim kinbꞌij chiꞌwe jachin rukꞌ kajunumataj wi ri winaq ri kape wukꞌ, kuta ri nutzij, xuqujeꞌ kuchakubꞌej ri kinbꞌij.
Some people come to me, and hear my messages and obey them. I will tell you what they are like.

They are like a man who dug deep [into the ground to prepare to build his house]. He made sure that the foundation was on solid ground. Then when there was a flood, the water tried to wash away the house. But the river could not shake the house, because it was built {he built it} on a solid [foundation].
49 Ri winaq kꞌut ri kutatabꞌej ri nutzij, kꞌa te riꞌ man kuchakubꞌej taj ri kinbꞌij, kinjunamaj rukꞌ ri achi ri xuyak rachoch pa ri ulew. Maj utakꞌalibꞌal xubꞌano. Are xpe ri nimaꞌ, xupuyij ribꞌ cho ri ja, xtukin ri ja, sibꞌalaj man utz ta ri xkꞌulmatajik.
But some people hear my messages but do not obey them. They are like a man who built a house on top of the ground without [digging] a foundation. When the river flooded, the house collapsed immediately and was completely ruined. [So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
