Mateo 23
1 Are xbꞌantaj we riꞌ, ri Jesús xubꞌij chike ri winaq xuqujeꞌ ri utijoxelabꞌ:
Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
2 Rajawaxik chi ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ ri fariseos kakiya uchꞌobꞌik chiꞌwe jas kubꞌij ri taqanik rech ri Moisés.
Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses.
3 Rajawaxik kinimaj xuqujeꞌ kibꞌano ronojel ri kakibꞌij chiꞌwe. Are makibꞌan taj ri kakibꞌan aꞌreꞌ, rumal man kakibꞌan taj ri kakitzijoj.
All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not.
4 Kakiya nimaꞌq taq eqaꞌn cho kachaq nikꞌaj chik, man kakaj ta kꞌu aꞌreꞌ kakisalabꞌaj rukꞌ jun uwiꞌ kiqꞌabꞌ.
For they bind heavy and insupportable burdens, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but with a finger of their own they will not move them.
5 Are kakaj kekaꞌyex kumal ri winaq, rumal cher kakikoj ri nimaꞌq taq filacterias xuqujeꞌ kakiwiqiqej ri katzꞌyaq.
And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad, and enlarge their fringes.
6 Kekam xuqujeꞌ che ri kꞌolibꞌal ri nim uqꞌij xuqujeꞌ ri nabꞌe taq tem pa taq ri Sinagoga.
And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,
7 Are kakaj kaya rutzil kiwach pa taq ri kꞌayibꞌal, utz kakito kabꞌix ajtij, chike.
And salutations in the market place, and to be called by men, Rabbi.
8 Man kiya ta kꞌu bꞌe kabꞌix ajtij chiꞌwe ix, rumal xa jun iwajtij kꞌolik, iwonojel iwachalal iwibꞌ.
But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your master; and all you are brethren.
9 Xuqujeꞌ mibꞌij itat che jun winaq chik ajuwachulew, rumal xa jun iTat ix kꞌolik, are ri kꞌo pa ri kaj.
And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven.
10 Miya bꞌe xuqujeꞌ kabꞌix ajtij chiꞌwe, rumal xa jun iwajtij kꞌolik, are ri Cristo.
Neither be ye called masters; for one is you master, Christ.
11 Ri sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij chiꞌxoꞌl ix, kux na patanijel ke nikꞌaj chik.
He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri kunimarisaj ribꞌ, kanitzꞌarisax na, are kꞌu ri kunitzꞌarisaj ribꞌ, kanimarisax na uqꞌij.
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13 ¡Kꞌax iwe aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ fariseos, ix kawach! Kitzꞌapij ri kaj chikiwach nikꞌaj winaq chik, man kixok ta ix, xuqujeꞌ man kiya ta bꞌe chike ri kakaj koꞌkik.
But woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men, for you yourselves do not enter in; and those that are going in, you suffer not to enter.
14 /¡Kꞌax iwe fariseos xuqujeꞌ aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik! Kimaj ri kachoch ri malkaꞌnibꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kijaluj chi kibꞌan chꞌawem cho ri Dios, kibꞌan tuqutaq taq ichꞌawem rech kixkil ri winaq. Rumal kꞌu waꞌ kꞌax na kabꞌan chuqꞌatik tzij pa iwiꞌ./
Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because you devour the houses of widows, praying long prayers. For this you shall receive the greater judgment.
15 ¡Kꞌax iwe aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik, xuqujeꞌ ri ix fariseos, ix kawach! Kiqꞌaxaj tinimit xuqujeꞌ cho chuchꞌekik jun tereneꞌl iwe, are kixkwin chuchꞌekik ri tereneꞌl iwe riꞌ, tajin kibꞌan che chi kux kebꞌ mul chiꞌwech ix taqal che keꞌ pa ri tyoꞌnel qꞌaqꞌ. (Geenna g1067)
Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you go round about the sea and the land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, you make him the child of hell twofold more than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
16 ¡Kꞌax iwe moy taq kꞌamal bꞌe! We kꞌo jun kunaꞌtaj jun jastaq pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Templo, maj kel riꞌ che, we kꞌu kunaꞌtaj jun jastaq pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri qꞌana pwaq ri kꞌo pa ri Templo, kajatꞌitaj kan riꞌ rukꞌ ri utzij.
Woe to you blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple, is a debtor.
17 ¡Moy taq winaq, maj iwetaꞌmabꞌal! ¿Jachin nim uqꞌij, la are ri qꞌana pwaq, o are ri Templo ri kutyoxirisaj ri qꞌana pwaq?
Ye foolish and blind; for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18 Ix xuqujeꞌ kibꞌij: “We kꞌo jun winaq kubꞌij jun jastaq pa ubꞌiꞌ ri tzujbꞌal sipanik, maj kel riꞌ, we kꞌu kꞌo jun kubꞌij jun jastaq pa ubꞌiꞌ ri sipanik ri kuya choch ri tzujbꞌal sipanik, kajatꞌitaj na riꞌ rukꞌ ri utzij.”
And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, is a debtor.
19 ¡Ix moy! ¿Jachin nim uqꞌij, ri sipanik o are ri tzujbꞌal sipanik ri katyoxirisan ri sipanik?
Ye blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Jeriꞌ xapachin ri kubꞌij jun jastaq pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri tzujbꞌal sipanik, man xaq xwi ta kubꞌij pa ubꞌiꞌ ri tzujbꞌal, xane pa ubꞌiꞌ ronojel ri kꞌo puꞌwiꞌ ri tzujbꞌal sipanik.
He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things that are upon it:
21 Ri winaq ri kubꞌij jun jastaq pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Templo, man xaq xwi ta kubꞌij pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Templo, xane tajin kubꞌij pa ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios, rumal cher are ri Dios kꞌo pa ri Templo.
And whosoever shall swear by temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it:
22 Ri kubꞌij jun jastaq pa ubꞌiꞌ ri kaj, tajin kubꞌij pa ubꞌiꞌ ri utꞌuyulibꞌal ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios rumal cher Areꞌ tꞌuyul chilaꞌ.
And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23 ¡Kꞌax iwe ix aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ fariseos, ix kawach! Kiya ri ulajujil ri menta, ri anis, xuqujeꞌ ri comino. Itzaqom kꞌu kanoq ri taqanik ri nim uqꞌij jetaq ri sukꞌal, ri bꞌanoj toqꞌobꞌ, ri utzilal. Choqꞌaqꞌ wi ubꞌanik waꞌ we nikꞌaj riꞌ jacha we nikꞌaj chik riꞌ.
Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and have left the weightier things of the law; judgment, and mercy, and faith. These things you ought to have done, and not to leave those undone.
24 Moy taq kꞌamal taq bꞌe. Kichaꞌ na ri nitzꞌ us, kibꞌiqꞌ kꞌu bꞌik ri kamey.
Blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 ¡Kꞌax iwe ix aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ fariseos, ix kawach! Kichꞌajchꞌobꞌej ri rij ri qumubꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri ipalaꞌt, are kꞌu ri upam nojinaq che elaqꞌ xuqujeꞌ etzelal.
Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within you are full of rapine and uncleanness.
26 Moy laj fariseo, nabꞌe chachꞌajchꞌobꞌej ri upam ri aqumubꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri apalaꞌt, jeriꞌ kachꞌajchꞌojir riꞌ ri upam xuqujeꞌ ri rij.
Thou blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside may become clean.
27 ¡Kꞌax iwe ix aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ fariseos, ix kawach! Jer ix kꞌo muqbꞌal taq kaminaqibꞌ, saq iwij. Jeꞌl kakaꞌy ri iwij, ri ipam nojinaq che qꞌayinaq taq kibꞌaqil kaminaqibꞌ.
Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you are like to whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear to men beautiful, but within are full of dead men’s bones, and of all filthiness.
28 Ix sukꞌ kixkaꞌy chiꞌwij, pa iwanimaꞌ ixnojinaq che kawachil xuqujeꞌ etzelal.
So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just; but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 ¡Kꞌax iwe ix aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xuqujeꞌ fariseos, ix kawach! Kiyak tzꞌaq naꞌtabꞌal ke ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ kiwiqiqej ri tzꞌibꞌatal wi ri kibꞌiꞌ ri e sukꞌ taq winaq.
Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; that build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the just,
30 Xuqujeꞌ kibꞌij we ta uj kꞌo uj che ri qꞌij ri xekꞌojiꞌ ri e qatat qanan, riꞌ man uj jun ta chikikamisaxik ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios.
And say: If we had been in the days of our Fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Ix kachiꞌl kꞌut ri winaq riꞌ rumal kibꞌij chi ix kijaꞌl ri winaq ri xekamisan ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios.
Wherefore you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of them that killed the prophets.
32 ¡Xa junmul chitzꞌaqatisaj ri xkibꞌan ri itat inan ojer!
Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 ¡Ix kumatz, ix kalkꞌwaꞌl taq kumatz! ¿Jachin katoꞌw iwiꞌ rech man kixeꞌ taj pa ri qꞌaqꞌ? (Geenna g1067)
You serpents, generation of vipers, how will you flee from the judgment of hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 Rumal riꞌ keꞌntaq na loq qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios, achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal xuqujeꞌ aꞌjtijabꞌ. E kꞌo kiꞌkamisaj na chike e nikꞌaj chik kiꞌrip na, e nikꞌaj chik kerapux na pa taq ri Sinagoga, xuqujeꞌ koꞌqotax na pa taq ri tinimit.
Therefore behold I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you will put to death and crucify, and some you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:
35 Jeriꞌ ix kixux na aꞌjmakibꞌ rumal cher kikamisaxik winaq ri maj kimak, waꞌ xchapleꞌtaj loq rukꞌ ri ukamikal ri Abel, xtoqꞌiꞌ rukꞌ ri ukamikal ri Zacarías ukꞌojol ri Berequías, ri xikamisaj pa ri Templo chuxoꞌl ri Tyoxalaj kꞌolibꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri tzujbꞌal rech ri tzujbꞌal sipanik.
That upon you may come all the just blood that hath been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.
36 Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ix kixtojow na ri kꞌaxal ri xkibꞌan kanoq ri itat inan.
Amen I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
37 ¡Winaq aꞌj Jerusalén, winaq aꞌj Jerusalén, ix ri kiꞌkamisaj ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ kibꞌan che abꞌaj ri winaq ri ketaq loq iwukꞌ! Sibꞌalaj kꞌi mul xwaj xeꞌnmulij riꞌ iwalkꞌwaꞌl jetaq kubꞌan jun atiꞌt akꞌ are kuꞌmulij ri ral pa ri uxikꞌ, man xawaj ta kꞌut.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered together thy children, as the hen doth gather her chickens under her wings, and thou wouldest not?
38 Rumal riꞌ maj jun winaq kakanaj na kanoq pa ri iwachoch.
Behold, you house shall be left to you, desolate.
39 Xuqujeꞌ kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi man kiwil ta chi na nuwach kꞌa kuriq na ri qꞌij are kibꞌij: Tewchiꞌtal ubꞌiꞌ ri petinaq pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel.
For I say to you, you shall not see me henceforth till you say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
