< Mateo 23 >
1 Are xbꞌantaj we riꞌ, ri Jesús xubꞌij chike ri winaq xuqujeꞌ ri utijoxelabꞌ:
THEN Jesus spake 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 Pharisees are seated 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 which they prescribe for you to observe, observe and practise; but do not according to their works, for they say, yet do not practise.
4 Kakiya nimaꞌq taq eqaꞌn cho kachaq nikꞌaj chik, man kakaj ta kꞌu aꞌreꞌ kakisalabꞌaj rukꞌ jun uwiꞌ kiqꞌabꞌ.
For they bind burdens grievous, and difficultly borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they will not move them with a finger of their own.
5 Are kakaj kekaꞌyex kumal ri winaq, rumal cher kakikoj ri nimaꞌq taq filacterias xuqujeꞌ kakiwiqiqej ri katzꞌyaq.
And all their works they do to be seen of men: they make their phylacteries broad, and deepen the fringes of their garments,
6 Kekam xuqujeꞌ che ri kꞌolibꞌal ri nim uqꞌij xuqujeꞌ ri nabꞌe taq tem pa taq ri Sinagoga.
and love the principal couch at suppers, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 Are kakaj kaya rutzil kiwach pa taq ri kꞌayibꞌal, utz kakito kabꞌix ajtij, chike.
and salutations in the places of public concourse, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 Man kiya ta kꞌu bꞌe kabꞌix ajtij chiꞌwe ix, rumal xa jun iwajtij kꞌolik, iwonojel iwachalal iwibꞌ.
But be not ye called Rabbi, for one is your leader, the Messiah; and ye all 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 no man 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.
And be not called leaders; for one is your leader, the Messiah.
11 Ri sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij chiꞌxoꞌl ix, kux na patanijel ke nikꞌaj chik.
But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri kunimarisaj ribꞌ, kanitzꞌarisax na, are kꞌu ri kunitzꞌarisaj ribꞌ, kanimarisax na uqꞌij.
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and whosoever abaseth 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.
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut up the kingdom of heaven from men; for ye yourselves enter not in, and those who were coming in, ye 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./
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: wherefore ye shall receive greater condemnation.
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 )
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is gained, ye make him doubly more the child of hell than yourselves. (Geenna )
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.
Wo unto you ye blind guides! who say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, it is binding.
17 ¡Moy taq winaq, maj iwetaꞌmabꞌal! ¿Jachin nim uqꞌij, la are ri qꞌana pwaq, o are ri Templo ri kutyoxirisaj ri qꞌana pwaq?
Ye fools and blind! for which is the greater, the gold, or the temple which consecrates 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 again, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, it is binding.
19 ¡Ix moy! ¿Jachin nim uqꞌij, ri sipanik o are ri tzujbꞌal sipanik ri katyoxirisan ri sipanik?
Ye fools and blind! which is the greater, the gift, or the altar which consecrates 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.
Whosoever therefore 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 sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him also who 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.
So he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him who is seated upon it.
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.
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithes of mint, and anise, and cummin, and have neglected the weightier precepts of the law, judgment, and mercy, and fidelity: these thing ought ye to have done, and not to leave the others undone.
24 Moy taq kꞌamal taq bꞌe. Kichaꞌ na ri nitzꞌ us, kibꞌiqꞌ kꞌu bꞌik ri kamey.
Ye blind guides! who strain out a gnat, but gulp down 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.
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup, and of the dish, but within they are full of rapacity and intemperance.
26 Moy laj fariseo, nabꞌe chachꞌajchꞌobꞌej ri upam ri aqumubꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri apalaꞌt, jeriꞌ kachꞌajchꞌojir riꞌ ri upam xuqujeꞌ ri rij.
Thou blind Pharisee! cleanse first the inside of the cup and dish, that their outside may become clean also.
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.
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye resemble tombs whitewashed, which outwardly indeed appear specious, but within are full of dead men’s bones, and all manner of impurity.
28 Ix sukꞌ kixkaꞌy chiꞌwij, pa iwanimaꞌ ixnojinaq che kawachil xuqujeꞌ etzelal.
And just so, ye without indeed appear to men righteous, but within ye 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.
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the sepulchres 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 ye bear a testimony to yourselves, that ye are the children of those who 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 )
Ye serpents, ye broods of vipers! how can ye escape from the damnation of hell? (Geenna )
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 am sending to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some of them ye shall kill, and crucify; and some of them ye shall 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 righteous blood which hath been poured out upon the earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel, to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ix kixtojow na ri kꞌaxal ri xkibꞌan kanoq ri itat inan.
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come on 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.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest those who were sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children to me, as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not?
38 Rumal riꞌ maj jun winaq kakanaj na kanoq pa ri iwachoch.
Behold, your habitation is left unto 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 tell you, Ye shall henceforth no more see me, until ye say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
