Lucas 1
1 Loqꞌalaj Teófilo: E kꞌi ri winaq ri xkaj xkitzꞌibꞌaj pa cholaj ri tzijobꞌelil chrij ri qas xkꞌulmataj waral chiqaxoꞌl.
Seeing that many took in hand to set in order a narration of the matters that have been fully assured 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.
as they delivered to us, who from the beginning became eyewitnesses, and officers 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 also to me, having followed from the first after all things exactly, to write to you in order, most noble Theophilus,
4 rech kawetaꞌmaj ri qas tzij chrij ri kꞌutuꞌn ri yaꞌom chawe.
that you may know the certainty of the things wherein you were 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, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the division of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth;
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, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses 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 Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
8 Jun qꞌijal ri Zacarías are tajin kapatanij pa ri Templo rech ri Dios rumal cher xuriq ri qꞌij are kapatanik ri uwo kaj.
And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his division before God,
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 priesthood, his lot was to make incense, having gone into the temple of the LORD,
10 Are tajin kaporox ri incienso, ri winaq ri kimulim kibꞌ tajin kakibꞌan apanoq chꞌawem cho ri Templo rech ri Dios.
and all the multitude of the people were praying outside, at the hour of the 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 to him a messenger of the LORD standing on the right side of the altar of the incense,
12 Are xril ri Zacarías ri ángel, xkꞌaxir ranimaꞌ, sibꞌalaj xuxiꞌj ribꞌ.
and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on 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.
and the messenger said to him, “Do not fear, Zacharias, for your supplication was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son to you, and you will call his name John,
14 Sibꞌalaj katkiꞌkot na rumal rech ri akꞌal, xuqujeꞌ e kꞌi winaq kekiꞌkot na we xkil uwach.
and there will be joy to you, and gladness, and many will 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 will be great before the LORD, and wine and strong drink he may not drink, and he will be full of the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb;
16 E kꞌi winaq aꞌj Israel ketzalij na rukꞌ ri Ajawxel ri kiDios rumal rech areꞌ.
and he will turn many of the sons of Israel to 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 will go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the LORD, a people prepared.”
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 to the messenger, “Whereby will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?”
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 messenger answering said to him, “I am Gabriel, who has been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak to you, and to proclaim this good news to you,
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, you will be silent, and not able to speak, until the day that these things will come to pass, because you did not believe my words that will 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 wondering at his lingering 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 having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, and he was beckoning to them, and remained mute.
23 Are xtoꞌtaj ri Zacarías che ri patanijik pa ri Templo, xtzalij cho rachoch.
And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to 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 those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and 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 the LORD has done to me, in days in which He looked on [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.
And in the sixth month the messenger Gabriel was sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] 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 [is] Joseph, of the house of David, and the name of the virgin [is] Mary.
28 Ri Gabriel xukꞌut ribꞌ choch ri María, xubꞌij che: ¡Rutzil awach, at jun ixoq chaꞌtalik, ri Ajawxel kꞌo awukꞌ!
And the messenger having come in to her, said, “Greetings, favored one, the LORD [is] with you; blessed [are] you among women”;
29 Ri María xsach ukꞌuꞌx, xkꞌaxkꞌobꞌ ranimaꞌ, xuchomaj rij ri kubꞌij ri ángel.
and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
30 Ri ángel xubꞌij che: ¡Man kaxiꞌj ta awibꞌ María, at chaꞌtal rumal ri Dios!
And the messenger said to her, “Do not fear, Mary, for you have found favor with God;
31 Katiktaj na jun akꞌal chawe, kalax na, kakoj Jesús che ubꞌiꞌ.
and behold, you will conceive in the womb, and will bring forth a Son, and 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 will be great, and He will be called Son of the Highest, and the LORD God will give Him the throne of His father David,
and He will reign over the house of Jacob for all ages; and of His kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
34 Ri María xubꞌij: ¿Jamo riꞌ kakꞌulmataj we riꞌ? Man in kꞌolinaq ta in rukꞌ achi.
And Mary said to the messenger, “How will this be, seeing I do not know a husband?”
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 messenger answering said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you, therefore also the holy-begotten thing will be called 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, Elizabeth, your relative, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her who was called barren;
37 Maj jun jastaq ri mat kakwin ri Dios che ubꞌanik.
because nothing will be impossible with God.”
38 Ri María xubꞌij: In patanil rech ri Ajawxel. Kꞌulmataj wukꞌ ronojel ri xabꞌij. Ri ángel xtzalijik.
And Mary said, “Behold, the maidservant of the LORD; let it be to me according to your saying,” and the messenger went away 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 having arisen in those days, went into the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
40 Are xopan chilaꞌ, xok bꞌik pa ri rachoch ri Zacarías, xuya rutzil uwach ri Elisabet.
and entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elizabeth.
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 Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the baby leapt in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
42 Ri Elisabet xuraq uchiꞌ chech kiꞌkotemal, xubꞌij che ri María: Sibꞌalaj at tewchiꞌtalik chikiwach konojel ri ixoqibꞌ. Xuqujeꞌ tewchiꞌtal ri awal.
and spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed [are] you among women, and blessed [is] the Fruit of your womb;
43 ¿Jas che xya bꞌe chwe, kinulusolij ri unan ri Wajaw?
and from where [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come to me?
44 Are xinta ri rutzil nuwach xuyaꞌo, xchꞌoplaj ri nuneꞌ ri kꞌo chinupam xchꞌoplaj che kiꞌkotemal.
For behold, when the voice of your salutation came to my ears, the baby in my womb leapt in gladness;
45 Sibꞌalaj at tewchiꞌtalik rumal cher xakojo chi ri Ajawxel kubꞌan ri xuchiꞌj chawe.
and blessed [is] she who believed, for there will be a completion to the things spoken to her from the LORD.”
46 Ri María xubꞌij: Ri wanimaꞌ sibꞌalaj kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Ajawxel.
And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the LORD,
47 Sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkot ri wanimaꞌ pa ri nuDios, nukolonel.
And my spirit was glad on God my Savior,
48 Xel ukꞌuꞌx che we patanijel rech ri man nim ta uqꞌij. Konojel kꞌu ri winaq kakibꞌij na riꞌ chwe chi in tewchiꞌtalik.
Because He looked on the lowliness of His maidservant, For behold, from now on all the generations will call me blessed,
49 Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Tyox xuqujeꞌ kwinel laj Dios xubꞌan nimalaj taq jastaq wukꞌ.
For He who is mighty did great things to me, 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 kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him;
51 Rukꞌ ri utelebꞌ xubꞌan nimalaj taq jastaq, xusach kiwach ri winaq ri nimal chike xuqujeꞌ ri kakinimarisaj kibꞌ.
He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
52 Xresaj ri taqanik pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri nimaꞌq kibꞌanik, xuya kiqꞌij ri winaq ri nim taj kiqꞌij.
He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
53 Xuya jastaq kech ri kenumik, maj ke ri qꞌinomabꞌ xuyaꞌo.
He filled the hungry with good, And the rich He sent away empty;
54 Xutoꞌ ri utinimit Israel, man xsachan ta che ubꞌanik ri utzilal kukꞌ.
He has taken hold of His servant Israel, To remember kindness,
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 spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed—throughout the age.” (aiōn g165)
56 Ri María xkanaj kan oxibꞌ ikꞌ rukꞌ ri Elisabet kꞌa te riꞌ xtzalij cho rachoch.
And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
57 Are xopan ri qꞌij, kakꞌojiꞌ ri ral ri Elisabet, xalax ri ral, ala ri ral.
And to Elizabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bore a son,
58 Ri ukꞌulja ri Elisabet xuqujeꞌ ri e rachalal xekiꞌkotik are xketaꞌmaj chi ri Dios sibꞌalaj xutoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri Elisabet.
and the neighbors and her relatives heard that the LORD was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing 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, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias,
60 Ri Elisabet kꞌut xubꞌij: ¡Man je ta riꞌ! Juan kubꞌiꞌnaꞌj we akꞌal riꞌ.
and his mother answering said, “No, but he will be called John.”
61 ¿Jas che? xecha ri winaq. Man kꞌo ta jun chike ri awachalal jeriꞌ ubꞌiꞌ.
And they said to her, “There is none among your relatives who is called by this name,”
62 Pa memal tzij kꞌut xkita che ri utat ri akꞌal jas ubꞌiꞌ ri ukꞌojol kukojo.
and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be 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 having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, “John is his name”; and they all wondered;
64 Aninaq xjaqataj ri uchꞌabꞌal ri Zacarías, xuchapleꞌj uqꞌijilaꞌxik ri Dios.
and his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising 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 those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
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 who heard laid them up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child be?” And 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 Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
68 Chiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Ajawxel, ri Dios rech ri tinimit Israel, xusolij ri utinimit, xutoꞌo pa ri qꞌoxom.
“Blessed [is] the LORD, the God of Israel, Because He looked on, And worked redemption for His people,
69 Xutaq loq jun kwinel laj kolonel rijaꞌl ri patanil rech, David.
And raised a horn of salvation to 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 spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets, Which have been from the age; (aiōn g165)
71 Kujutoꞌ na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri e qakꞌulel, xuqujeꞌ pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri kaketzelaj qawach.
Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us,

To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,

An oath that He swore to Abraham our father,
74 Xujesax na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri qakꞌulel rech kaqapatanij ri Dios man rukꞌ ta xibꞌin ibꞌ,
To give to us, without fear, Having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies,
75 rukꞌ jun tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal xuqujeꞌ sukꞌal, pa ronojel qꞌij rech ri qakꞌaslemal.
To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.
76 At, nukꞌojol, kabꞌix na qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij ri nimalaj Dios chawe, kasukꞌumaj na apanoq ri ubꞌe ri Ajawxel.
And you, child, Prophet of the Highest will you be called; For you will go before the face of the LORD, To prepare His ways.
77 Katzijoj na jas kakibꞌan ri winaq rech kekolotajik xuqujeꞌ kekuyutaj che ri kimak.
To give knowledge of salvation to His people In forgiveness of their sins,
78 Tyox che ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios, katunan na ri tunal rech pa ri kaj, chiqaxoꞌl.
Through the yearnings of our God, In which the rising from on high looked on 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 give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.”

And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts until the day of his showing to Israel.
