Mateo 18
1 Qas pa ri qꞌotaj riꞌ, ri tijoxelabꞌ xeqet rukꞌ ri Jesús, xkita che: ¿Jachin ri qas sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij pa ri ajawarem rech ri kaj?
At that time the disciples came to Jesus inquiring, Who shall be the greatest in the Reign of Heaven?
2 Ri Jesús xusikꞌij jun akꞌal, xuya chikixoꞌl.
Jesus calling to him a child, placed him in the midst of them,
3 Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, we man kikꞌex iwibꞌ, rech je kixux akꞌalabꞌ, man kixkwin taj kixok pa ri ajawarem rech ri kaj.
and said, Indeed, I say to you, unless you be changed, and become as children, you shall never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 Jeriꞌ, ri kumochꞌ ribꞌ jacha we kubꞌan we akꞌal riꞌ, sibꞌalaj nim na uqꞌij pa ri ajawarem rech ri kaj.
Whosoever, therefore, shall become humble like this child.
5 Xuqujeꞌ ri kukꞌamawaꞌj jun akꞌal pa ri nubꞌiꞌ, in riꞌ kinukꞌamawaꞌj.
Nay, whosoever receives one such child, in my name, receives me:
6 We kꞌo jun kuꞌtaqchiꞌj pa mak we alaj taq nitzꞌ ri e kojoninaq chwe. Are katan riꞌ we kaxekebꞌax bꞌik jun abꞌaj rech keꞌbꞌal chuqul, kꞌa te riꞌ kakꞌyaq bꞌik kꞌa pa ri ukꞌuꞌx ri cho.
but whosoever shall ensnare any of these little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that an upper millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were sunk in the ocean.
7 ¡Kꞌax ke ri winaq ri keꞌkitaqchiꞌj nikꞌaj winaq chik pa mak! Rajawaxik kꞌu wi chi kakꞌulmataj na we riꞌ, xa kꞌu kꞌax rech ri winaq ri kuꞌtaqchiꞌj chi nikꞌaj pa mak.
Alas for the world because of snares! Snares indeed there must be; nevertheless, alas for the ensnarer!
8 We are ri aqꞌabꞌ o ri awaqan kabꞌanow chawe katmakunik, chakutij, kꞌa te riꞌ chakꞌyaqa bꞌik. Are katanik katok pa ri jun alik kꞌaslemal, maj jun aqꞌabꞌ o maj jun awaqan cho ri rukꞌ ukobꞌchal aqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ukobꞌchal ri awaqan katkꞌyaq bꞌik pa ri qꞌaqꞌ ri maj ukꞌisik. (aiōnios g166)
Wherefore, if your hand or foot ensnare you, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to enter lame or maimed into life, than having two hands or feet to be cast into the everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 We are ri abꞌoqꞌoch kabꞌanow chawe katmakunik, chawesaj, chakꞌyaqa bꞌik. Are katanik xa rukꞌ jun abꞌoqꞌoch katok pa ri jun alik kꞌaslemal cho ri rukꞌ ukobꞌchal ri abꞌoqꞌoch katkꞌyaq bꞌik pa ri qꞌaqꞌ. (Geenna g1067)
And if your eye ensnare you, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better for you to enter one-eyed into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 Qas chiwila na, miwetzelaj jun chike we alaj taq e nitzꞌ riꞌ. Rumal qas kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri kiángel, amaqꞌel ketzijon rukꞌ ri nuTat ri kꞌo chilaꞌ chikaj.
Beware of contemning any of these little ones; for I assure you, that in heaven, their angels continually behold the face of my heavenly Father:
11 /Ri uKꞌojol ri Achi xpetik che kikolik ri e sachinaq kanoq./
and the Son of Man is come to recover the lost.
12 ¿Jas kichomaj ix chrij ri achi, ri kasach kan jun chike ri jun ciento uchij? ¿La man kꞌu kuꞌya kan ri junmuchꞌ bꞌelej lajuj pa ri juyubꞌ rech keꞌ chutzukuxik ri uchij ri xsach kanoq?
What think you? If a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them has strayed, will he not leave the ninety-nine upon the mountains, and go in quest of the stray?
13 Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, sibꞌalaj kꞌo na ri ukiꞌkotemal ri ajyuqꞌ are kuriq ri jun uchij, cho ri e junmuchꞌ bꞌelej lajuj chij ri man xesach taj.
And if he happens to find it, indeed, I say to you, he derives greater joy from it, than from the ninety-nine which went not astray.
14 Je xuqujeꞌ ri iTat ri kꞌo pa ri kaj, man karaj taj katzaq jun chike we alaj taq nitzꞌ riꞌ.
Thus it is not the will of your Father in heaven, that any of these little ones should be lost.
15 We kꞌo jun awachalal pa Cristo, kubꞌan jun kꞌax chawe, jat rukꞌ atukel, chabꞌij che ri xubꞌan chawe. We kutatabꞌej ri kabꞌij che xatchꞌeken riꞌ che.
Wherefore, if your brother trespass against you, go and expostulate with him, when you and he are alone together. If he hear you, you have gained your brother;
16 We man kutatabꞌej ri awachalal ri kabꞌij che, jat chi junmul rukꞌ, chaꞌkꞌama bꞌik kebꞌ o oxibꞌ winaq awukꞌ, rech kakilo jas kibꞌan chusukꞌumaxik ri xkꞌulmatajik.
but if he will not hear, take one or two along with you, that by the testimony of two or three witnesses everything may be ascertained.
17 We man kuta wi ri kabꞌix che, chabꞌij chike ri komontyox, we man kuta wi tzij, chabꞌana che chi jer kꞌo jun winaq ri man kojonel taj o jun itzel winaq.
If he despises them, tell the congregation; and if he despise the congregation also, let him be to you as a pagan or a publican.
18 Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe ronojel ri man kaya ta bꞌe che cho ri uwachulew, man kaya ta bꞌe che chilaꞌ chikaj, xuqujeꞌ ronojel ri kaya bꞌe che cho ri uwachulew, kaya na bꞌe che pa ri kaj.
Indeed, I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind on the earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Xuqujeꞌ kinbꞌij chiꞌwe we e kꞌo kebꞌ chiꞌwe kakijunamaj kikꞌuꞌx chutayik jun jastaq, kayaꞌtaj na chike rumal ri nuTat ri kꞌo pa ri kaj.
Again, I say to you, whatever two of you upon the earth shall agree to ask, shall be granted them by my Father, who is in heaven.
20 Jeriꞌ rumal cher jawjeꞌ ri kakimulij wi kibꞌ kebꞌ oꞌxibꞌ winaq pa ri nubꞌiꞌ, kinkꞌojiꞌ riꞌ chikixoꞌl.
For wherever two or three are assembled in my name, I am in the midst of them.
21 Ri Pedro xqebꞌ chuxukut ri Jesús xubꞌij che: ¿Awaj janipa mul rajawaxik kikuy umak ri wachalal ri kubꞌan kꞌax chwe? ¿La xaqareꞌ wuqubꞌ mul?
Then Peter approaching, said to him, Master, if my brother repeatedly trespass against me, how often must I forgive him? must I seven times?
22 Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Man tajin ta kinbꞌij chawe chi xa wuqubꞌ mul xane wuqubꞌ mul oxkꞌal lajuj.
Jesus answered, I say to you, not seven times, but seventy times seven times.
23 Rumal riꞌ, ri ajawarem rech ri kaj kajunumataj rukꞌ ri jun taqanel ri xuta chike ri rajchakibꞌ chi kakijach ri kwenta rech ri pwaq ri kikꞌas rukꞌ.
In this the Administration of Heaven resembles a king, who determined to settle accounts with his servants.
24 Are xuchapleꞌj kitoqꞌixik, xopan ri jun rajchak ri ukꞌas lajuj mil qꞌana pwaq rukꞌ.
Having begun to reckon, one was brought, who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 Maj urajil chutojik ri ukꞌas, rumal riꞌ ri patrón xtaqan chukꞌayixik ri achi, ri rixoqil, xuqujeꞌ ri ralkꞌwaꞌl, xuqujeꞌ ronojel ri ujastaq ri kꞌolik rech katojtaj ri kꞌasaj.
But that servant not having the means to pay; his master, to obtain payment, commanded that he, and his wife and children, and all that he had should be sold.
26 Ri ajchak xukiꞌk choch ri upatrón xuta toqꞌobꞌ che xubꞌij: Toqꞌobꞌisaj la nuwach, kintoj na che la ronojel ri nukꞌas.
Then the servant, throwing himself prostrate before his master, cried, Have patience with me, my lord, and I will pay the whole.
27 Ri patrón xutoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri rajchak, xubꞌij che chi maj chi ukꞌas, kꞌa te riꞌ xutzoqopij bꞌik.
And his master had compassion upon him, and dismissed him, remitting the debt.
28 Are xel bꞌik ri ajchak rukꞌ ri patrón, xuriq jun chike ri rachiꞌl ri ukꞌas jun ciento saq pwaq rukꞌ, xuchap che ri uqul are xraj xujitzꞌaj, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij che: Chatojo ri akꞌas wukꞌ.
But this servant, as he went out, meeting one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred denarii, seized him by the throat, saying, Pay me what you owe.
29 Ri rech ajchak xukiꞌk choch, xuta toqꞌobꞌ che xubꞌij: Chatoqꞌobꞌisaj nuwach, kintoj na chawe ronojel ri nukꞌas.
His fellow-servant, falling down, besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you.
30 Ri achi man xutoqꞌobꞌisaj ta uwach ri rech ajchak, xyojtajik kꞌa te riꞌ xuꞌkojo kan pa cheꞌ, kꞌa chutojo na ri ukꞌas.
And he would not, but instantly caused him to be imprisoned, until he should discharge the debt.
31 Are xkil konojel ri ajchakibꞌ ri xkꞌulmatajik, sibꞌalaj xebꞌisonik, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkitzijoj che ri kipatrón ri xkꞌulmatajik.
His fellow-servants seeing this, were deeply affected, and went, and informed their master of all that had passed.
32 Ri patrón xusikꞌij ri ajchak ri je xubꞌan we riꞌ, xubꞌij che: “¡At Itzel laj ajchak! Xinkuy ri akꞌas, rumal xata toqꞌobꞌ chwe.
Then his master, having given orders to call him, said to him, You wicked servant: all that debt I forgave you, because you besought me.
33 ¿La man kꞌu xatoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri awachiꞌl jacha ri xinbꞌan in chawe?”
Ought not you to have shown such pity to your fellow-servant, as I showed to you?
34 Ri patrón xyojtajik, kꞌa te riꞌ xujach bꞌik ri achi chike ri ajchakibꞌ pa ri cheꞌ, rech kabꞌan kꞌax che kꞌa chutojo na ronojel ri ukꞌas.
So his master, being provoked, delivered him to the jailors, to remain in their hands until he should clear the debt.
35 Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Jeriꞌ kubꞌan na ri nuTat ri kꞌo chilaꞌ chikaj chiꞌwe, we man kiꞌkuy ri iwachalal rukꞌ ronojel ikꞌuꞌx.
Thus will my heavenly Father treat every one of you, who forgives not, from his heart, his brother.
