eng: So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

acr: Ri Pilato xrilo na jinta cutikoj cuꞌan más tzꞌonobal chique ma más ne quetucuc ri winak; ruma cꞌu riꞌ, xutak ucꞌamic yaꞌ y ecꞌu laꞌ chiquiwach ri winak xuchꞌaj rukꞌab, y jewaꞌ xubiꞌij: —Na jinta cꞌu numac riꞌin che rucamic waꞌchi jusucꞌ rubinic, ma waꞌ imac riꞌix —xchaꞌ.

acr: Chupa cꞌu ri nimakꞌij Pascua, ri takanel romano xex cuꞌan wi cuyolopij bi jun chique ri e cꞌo pa cárcel, yey e ri winak quechaꞌwic china ri cacaj cayolopix bi.


eng: He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

eng: Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

eng: Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

acr: Ecꞌu xuꞌan pachaꞌ ri tzꞌibital can ruma ri kꞌalajisanel Jeremías pa Ruchꞌaꞌtem ri Dios, pa cubiꞌij wi: Xquicꞌam cꞌu ri treinta sakil puak, ma e rajil riꞌ cojotal cuma raj Israel.


eng: Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

eng: Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

acr: Ri Judas ri xcꞌayin re ri Jesús, echiriꞌ xrilo xkꞌat tzij re camic puwi ri Jesús, lic xoc chucꞌuꞌx ri xuꞌano. Xeꞌec cꞌut y xutzelej ri treinta sakil puak chique ri nimak e aj chacunel pa Rocho Dios y chique ri nimak winak.


eng: They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

acr: Yutum cꞌu ri Jesús, xquicꞌam bi y xeꞌquiyaꞌa chwach ri takanel Poncio Pilato.


eng: Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

acr: Ri Pedro xrewaj tanchic y lic xujiquibaꞌ uwach ubiꞌxiquil: —Riꞌin na wetaꞌam ta cꞌana uwach laꞌ laꞌchi —xchaꞌ.

eng: Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,

acr: Ewi e cꞌo jujun xquijek caquichubaj rupalaj y lic caquiꞌan pa tꞌoꞌy. E cꞌo jujun chic xquipachꞌ kꞌab chupalaj


eng: Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.

acr: Ecꞌu ri cajawal raj chacunel pa Rocho Dios xurichꞌij rukꞌuꞌ y xubiꞌij: —Waꞌ waꞌchi lic xmacun chirij ri Dios rucꞌ wa xubiꞌij. ¡Na jinta chi uchac más e aj cojol umac! Ma lic e laꞌ xta alak xubiꞌij ri na takal ta che.


eng: Jesus said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”

acr: Ri Jesús xubiꞌij che: —Areꞌ, e ri xbiꞌij la. Y cambiꞌij cꞌu che onoje alak: Quil na cꞌu alak Ralaxel Chiquixoꞌl Ticawex tzꞌul puwiquikꞌab ri Dios, ri lic cꞌo unimal uchukꞌab yey quil cꞌu alak riꞌ echiriꞌ cacꞌun lo pa sutzꞌ chwa ri caj —xchaꞌ.


eng: But Jesus stayed silent. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

acr: Noꞌj ri Jesús na jinta cꞌo xubiꞌij. Ecꞌuchiriꞌ, jewaꞌ xubiꞌij ri cajawal raj chacunel pa Rocho Dios: —Chabiꞌij chupa rubiꞌ ri Dios cꞌaslic, we riꞌat at ri Cristo, Rucꞌajol ri Dios —xchaꞌ.


eng: The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”

eng: and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”

eng: and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward

acr: Ri xechapaw bi ri Jesús xquicꞌam bi chwach ri Caifás, ri cajawal raj chacunel pa Rocho Dios, pa quimolom wi quib raj cꞌutunel re ri tzijpixab y ri nimak winak re ri tinamit.


eng: But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.

eng: In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.

acr: Ecꞌuchiriꞌ, xubiꞌij chique ri soldados: —¿Suꞌchac petinak alak rucꞌ espada y cheꞌ? ¿Petinak cami alak che ucꞌamic bi juna elekꞌom? Wa petinak lok ronoje kꞌij waꞌ cꞌut in tzꞌuyiꞌnak chiwach alak, e laꞌ quincꞌutun pa ri Rocho Dios. ¿Suꞌchac cꞌu riꞌ cꞌa e laꞌ quinoꞌlchapa alak?

eng: Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.

acr: Ecꞌu ri Jesús xubiꞌij che: —Chacꞌolo ra espada chupa rucꞌolibal; ma conoje ri quechꞌoꞌjin rucꞌ espada, rucꞌ espada quecamic.


eng: Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

acr: Cꞌo cꞌu jun chique ri e cꞌo rucꞌ ri Jesús, xresaj lo ru espada y xujochij bi jun uxiquin ri raj chac ri cajawal raj chacunel pa Rocho Dios.


eng: Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

acr: Xkib cꞌu ri Judas rucꞌ ri Jesús y xuya rutzil uwach, xubiꞌij che: —Wajawal —xchaꞌ. Y xutzꞌub uchiꞌ.

eng: While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

acr: Cꞌa cachꞌaꞌt ne ri Jesús echiriꞌ xcꞌun lo ri Judas, jun chique ri cablajuj utijoꞌn. Ecꞌu rire erachbilam lo uqꞌuiyal winak cucꞌaꞌam lo espada y cheꞌ. Tak waꞌ etakom lo cuma ri nimak e aj chacunel pa Rocho Dios y cuma ri nimak winak re ri tinamit.


eng: Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”

acr: ¡Chixwaꞌlijok! ¡Joꞌ! Ma ri cacꞌayin we riꞌin e laꞌ xcꞌunic —xchaꞌ.


eng: Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

eng: He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
