Mateo 22
1 Junmul chik ri Jesús xuchapleꞌj tzijonem kukꞌ ri winaq xukoj kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj, xubꞌij:
Yeshua [Salvation] answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,
2 Ri ajawarem rech ri kaj kajunumataj rukꞌ ri jun taqanel ri xubꞌan jun nimaqꞌij rumal ri kꞌulanem rech ri ukꞌojol.
“The Kingdom of Heaven (God) is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
3 Xuꞌtaq bꞌik ri e patanil taq rech chikisikꞌixik ri winaq ri e sikꞌital pa ri nimaqꞌij, we winaq riꞌ man xkaj taj xebꞌek pa ri nimaqꞌij.
and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.
4 Kꞌa te riꞌ xuꞌtaq chi bꞌik nikꞌaj e rajchakibꞌ xubꞌij chike: Chibꞌij chike ri e qasikꞌim chi xutzir le wa. Xinkamisaj ri e nuwakax, ronojel xutzirik. Chixpetoq pa we nimaqꞌij riꞌ.
Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage feast!”’
5 Ri winaq man xkilij ta ri sikꞌinik ri xya chike xane ri jun xeꞌ pa ri uchak pa ri rulew, ri jun chik xeꞌ pa ri ukꞌay.
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,
6 Ri nikꞌaj chik xeꞌkichap ri ajchakibꞌ, xkibꞌan kꞌax chike kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkikamisaj.
and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 Ri taqanel xyakataj royawal. Xuꞌtaq bꞌik ri e rajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chikikamisaxik ri e kamisanelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ chuporoxik ri kitinimit.
When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij chike ri e rajchakibꞌ: “Xutzir ri wa rech nimaqꞌij, are kꞌu ri xeꞌnsikꞌij man taqal ta chike xeꞌnsikꞌij.
“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 Jix pa taq ri uchꞌuꞌk ri bꞌe, jibꞌisikꞌij loq ri winaq ri kiꞌriqo.”
Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.’
10 Jeriꞌ xebꞌe ri patanijelabꞌ pa taq ri bꞌe xebꞌe chikimulixik konojel ri winaq ri xeꞌkiriqo, e kꞌo utz taq winaq chike xuqujeꞌ e kꞌo itzel taq winaq, xaq jeriꞌ xnoj ri ja pa ri nimaqꞌij rech kꞌulanem.
Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
11 Are xok bꞌik ri nim taqanel chikilik ri e sikꞌital pa ri nimaqꞌij, xril jun achi ri man ukojom taj ri atzꞌyaq rech nimaqꞌij rech kꞌulanem.
But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
12 Xubꞌij che: “Ala, ¿jas che xatok la at waral man akojom taj awatzꞌyaq rech ri nimaqꞌij rech kꞌulanem?” Ri achi xaq xuta ri xbꞌix che.
and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
13 Ri nim taqanel xubꞌij chike ri e patanil re: “Chijatꞌij le uqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ le raqan, chiwesaj bꞌik, chikꞌyaqa bꞌik pa ri qꞌequꞌmal, chilaꞌ kꞌo wi na oqꞌej xuqujeꞌ qutꞌutꞌem ware.”
Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
14 Jeriꞌ rumal sibꞌalaj e kꞌi e sikꞌitalik, xa kꞌu xaq e jujun e chaꞌtalik.
For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 Xebꞌe kꞌu ri fariseos, xkitzukuj jas kibꞌan che ukojik jun kꞌaꞌmabꞌal che ri Jesús rukꞌ ri kubꞌij chike.
Then the Pharisees [Separated] went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
16 Xeꞌkitaq bꞌik e jujun kitijoxelabꞌ e kachiꞌl ri herodianos, xeꞌkibꞌij che ri Jesús: Ajtij, qetaꞌm chi lal jun achi tzꞌaqat, xuqujeꞌ saq kabꞌan la chukꞌutik ri ubꞌe ri Dios man are ta kabꞌan la ri kakibꞌij ri winaq, rumal cher man are ta kil la ri kekaꞌy ri winaq.
They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you are not partial to anyone.
17 Bꞌij bꞌa la chaqe: ¿La taqalik kaqatoj ri alkabal che ri César ri taqanel pa Roma o man taqal taj?
Tell us what you think: Does Torah ·Teaching· permit paying taxes to Caesar [Ruler], or not?”
18 Ri Jesús retaꞌm ri itzel taq kichomanik rumal riꞌ xubꞌij chike: Kawach taq winaq, ¿jas che kiwaj kikoj kꞌaꞌmabꞌal pa ri nubꞌe?
But Yeshua [Salvation] perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
19 Chikꞌutumpe jun pwaq tojbꞌal rech ri alkabal. Ri winaq xkikꞌut jun pwaq choch.
Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius [one day’s wage].
20 Ri Jesús xuta chike: ¿Jachin ajchoqꞌe we palajaj xuqujeꞌ we tzꞌibꞌ riꞌ?
He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
21 Ri winaq xkibꞌij: Rech ri César. Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Chiya che ri César ri rech ri César, xuqujeꞌ chiya che ri Dios ri rech ri Dios.
They said to him, “Caesar’s [Ruler]’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar [Ruler] the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 Are xkita ri xbꞌix chike: Sibꞌalaj xemayijanik, xkitzaq kanoq ri Jesús, xebꞌek.
When they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went away.
23 Che ri qꞌij riꞌ ri Saduceos, ri kakibꞌij chi maj kꞌastajibꞌal wach, xeqet rukꞌ ri Jesús, xkita jun kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ che, xkibꞌij:
On that day Sadducees [Morally-upright] (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him hard questions,
24 Ajtij, ri Moisés xukꞌut kanoq chiqawach, we kꞌo jun achi kakꞌuliꞌk, kꞌa te riꞌ kakamik maj kꞌu kan e ralkꞌwaꞌl rukꞌ ri rixoqil, ri rachalal ri achi ri xkamik kakꞌuliꞌk kan rukꞌ ri rixoqil ri rachalal, rech kekꞌojiꞌ rijaꞌl ri rachalal.
saying, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, Moses [Drawn out] said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.’
25 Chiqaxoꞌl uj xekꞌojiꞌ e wuqubꞌ alaxik. Ri nabꞌyal xkꞌuliꞌk, kꞌa te riꞌ xkamik, maj e ralkꞌwaꞌl xekanaj kanoq rukꞌ ri rixoqil, rumal riꞌ xkꞌuliꞌ kanoq ri rachalal rukꞌ ri rixoqil.
Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
26 Jeꞌ xkꞌulmataj rukꞌ ri ukabꞌ, ri urox, kꞌa xtoꞌtaj rukꞌ ri wuqubꞌ alaxik. Konojel xekꞌuliꞌ rukꞌ ri ixoq, xekam kꞌu bꞌik maj jun xuya kanoq ralkꞌwaꞌl rukꞌ ri ixoq.
In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 Kꞌisbꞌal rech xkam bꞌik ri ixoq.
After them all, the woman died.
28 Are kuriq ri qꞌij rech kꞌastajibꞌal wach ¿jachin chike we wuqubꞌ achyabꞌ riꞌ rachajil we ixoq, rumal cher konojel xekꞌuliꞌ rukꞌ?
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
29 Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri ix ix sachinaq rumal man iwetaꞌm taj ri tzꞌibꞌatalik xuqujeꞌ ri ukwinem ri Dios.
But Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Pa ri kꞌastajibꞌal wach man kekꞌuliꞌ taj chi ri winaq, xuqujeꞌ man keya ta xuqujeꞌ pa kꞌulanem, xane jer kuꞌx angelibꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri kaj.
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
31 Are kꞌu ri kꞌastajibꞌal wach ke ri kaminaqibꞌ, ¿la man isikꞌim ri xubꞌij ri Dios chiꞌwe ojer?
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 In riꞌ, ri in uDios ri Abraham, ri Isaac, xuqujeꞌ ri Jacob. Ri Dios man kiDios taj kaminaqibꞌ xane kiDios e kꞌaslik taq winaq.
‘I am the God of Abraham [Father of a multitude], and the God of Isaac [Laughter], and the God of Jacob [Supplanter]?’ God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33 Are xkita ri winaq ri xubꞌij ri Jesús, xemayijanik che ri ukꞌutuꞌn.
When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 Ri fariseos are xkita ri xubꞌij ri Jesús chike ri e saduceos, xkimulij kibꞌ rech kakikoj chi jun kꞌaꞌmabꞌal che ri Jesús.
But the Pharisees [Separated], when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees [Morally-upright], gathered themselves together.
35 Jun chike ri fariseos ri qas retaꞌm ri taqanik xubꞌan jun kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ che ri Jesús, rech kukoj jun kꞌaꞌmabꞌal che xubꞌij:
One of them, a Torah-expert, asked him a question, testing him.
36 Ajtij, ¿pa ri utaqanik ri Moisés, jachin chike ri taqanik ri sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij?
“Rabbi ·Teacher·, which of the mitzvot ·instructions· in the Torah ·Teaching· is the most important?”
37 Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Chaloqꞌaj ri Ajawxel ri aDios rukꞌ ronojel awanimaꞌ, rukꞌ ronojel akꞌuꞌx, xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ronojel achomanik.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “‘You shall have agapao ·total devotion love· to MarYah [Master Yahweh] your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 Are waꞌ ri nabꞌe taqanik xuqujeꞌ nim uqꞌij chikiwach ronojel ri nikꞌaj chik.
This is the greatest and most important mitzvah ·instruction·.
39 Ri ukabꞌ taqanik xaq raj junam rukꞌ we nabꞌe: Chaloqꞌaj ri ajil tzꞌaqat, jacha ri kabꞌan chuloqꞌaxik awibꞌ at.
A second likewise is this, ‘You shall show agapao ·total devoted love· to your neighbor as yourself.’
40 Pa ukobꞌchal we taqanik riꞌ kꞌo wi ronojel ri kubꞌij ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ ronojel ri kitzijom loq ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios.
All of the Torah ·Teaching· and the Prophets depend on these two mitzvot ·instructions·.”
41 Ri fariseos kimulim kibꞌ are xuta ri Jesús chike:
Now while the Pharisees [Separated] were gathered together, Yeshua [Salvation] asked them a question,
42 ¿Jas kichomaj ix chirij ri Cristo? ¿Ralkꞌwaꞌl jachinaq? Ri fariseos xkibꞌij che: Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri David.
saying, “What do you think of the Messiah [Anointed one]? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David [Beloved].”
43 ¿Jas kꞌu che ri David nojinaq che ri Uxlabꞌixel xubꞌij Ajawxel che? Are xubꞌij:
He said to them, “How then does David [Beloved] in haRuach [the Spirit, Breath] call him MarYah [Master Yahweh], saying,
44 Xubꞌij ri Ajawxel che ri wajaw: chattꞌuyul pa ri nuwiqiqꞌabꞌ kꞌa keꞌnya na konojel ri akꞌulel pa awaqan.
‘Yahweh said to 'adoni ·my Lord·, sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet’?
45 Ri David we kubꞌij “wajaw” che ri Mesías ¿jas ta kꞌu che riꞌ ukꞌojol?
“If then David [Beloved] calls him MarYah [Master Yahweh], in what way can he be his son?”
46 Xa ta ne jun xkwinik xutzalij uwach ri xubꞌij ri Jesús, xa ta ne jun tzij xkibꞌij che, tzi che ri qꞌij riꞌ maj chi jun karaj kubꞌan kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ che ri Jesús.
No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more hard questions from that day forward.
