acr: Noꞌj ri chꞌaꞌtem kel lo puchiꞌ, pa ranimaꞌ kawinaqir wuloq y ekꞌu waꞌ ri kachꞌulan re ri tikawex.


eng: Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of the body?

acr: ¿Na kimaj ta nebꞌa usukꞌ? Ma e janipa ri kok bꞌi puchiꞌ ri tikawex keꞌek pa rupa y tekꞌuchiriꞌ, kuꞌpamaj bꞌi.


eng: So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?

eng: Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”

eng: Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

eng: When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.

eng: When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.

acr: Rutijoꞌn echiriꞌ xkilo kabꞌin ri Jesús chwi ri mar, lik xsach kinaꞌoj che, xesikꞌin kꞌu rukꞌ xiꞌin ibꞌ: —¡Leꞌ jun espíritu! —xechaꞌ.


eng: In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

acr: Lic anim tan cꞌut, ri Jesús xeꞌec cucꞌ rutijoꞌn, e riꞌ cabin chwi ri mar.


eng: But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

acr: Echiriꞌ ebuchꞌaꞌbem chi canok, xpakiꞌ chwa ri juyub chaꞌ cuꞌana orar. Xoc cꞌu rakꞌab, y ri Jesús utuquel cꞌo chiriꞌ.


eng: Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

eng: They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.

eng: He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

acr: Ecꞌuchiriꞌ, xtakan che quetzꞌuyiꞌ ri winak pa tak ri qꞌuim. Xucꞌam cꞌu ri woꞌob pam rucꞌ ri caꞌib car, xtzuꞌn chicaj y xtioxin chwach ri Dios. Tecꞌuchiriꞌ, xuwechꞌ upa ri pam, xuya chique rutijoꞌn y rique xquijach chique ri winak.

acr: Rike xkibꞌiꞌij che ri Jesús: —Na kꞌi ta ri waꞌim qukꞌaꞌam, xew woꞌobꞌ pam y kaꞌibꞌ kar kꞌo qukꞌ —xechaꞌ.


eng: But Jesus said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

acr: Noꞌj ri Jesús xubiꞌij chique: —Na cajawax taj quebec; chebitzuku riꞌix —xchaꞌ.


eng: When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, “This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.”

acr: Ecꞌuchiriꞌ ya coc rakꞌab, rutijoꞌn ri Jesús xekib rucꞌ y xquibiꞌij che: —Kajawal, wa luwar oj cꞌo wi lic catzꞌintzꞌotic y benak kꞌij chic. Utz we quetak bi la ri winak chaꞌ quebec pa tak raldeas re queꞌquilokꞌo quiwa —xechaꞌ.


eng: Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.

acr: Jelaꞌ xcꞌam lo rujolom ri Juan pa jun plato, xyaꞌ cꞌu che rali y rali xuꞌyaꞌa che ruchu.


eng: The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,

acr: Ruma cꞌu waꞌ ri Herodes lic xraj cucamisaj ri Juan, noꞌj lic cuxiꞌij rib chique ri tinamit ma chiquiwach rique ri Juan e jun kꞌalajisanel re ri Dios.


eng: For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.

eng: At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,

acr: Chupa cꞌu laꞌ la kꞌij, ri Herodes ri rey re Galilea xuta puwi ri chom uchꞌaꞌtibexic ri Jesús.


eng: He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

acr: Y ri Jesús na xuꞌan ta ukꞌiyal milagros chiriꞌ ruma na xkikoj taj china Rire.


eng: They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house.”

acr: ¿Na e ta neba ucꞌajol waꞌ ri jun carpintero yey ralab ri María? ¿Na e ta neba catzixel ri Jacobo, ri José, ri Simón y ri Judas?


eng: Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

eng: When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.

acr: Ri Jesús echiriꞌ xukꞌis ubꞌiꞌxik taq wa kꞌambꞌal naꞌoj chike, xel bꞌi chiriꞌ.


eng: He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”

acr: Ecꞌu ri Jesús xubiꞌij chique: —E juna aj cꞌutunel re ri tzijpixab, we lic cꞌo cumaj chwi rutakanic ri Dios petinak chilaꞌ chicaj, e pachaꞌ juna achi rajaw ja caresaj lo che rubeyomalil ucꞌolom, tak ri cꞌacꞌ y ri xex chi cꞌo wi; yey ucabichal waꞌ cuchapabej.

eng: He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took, and sowed in his field,

acr: Ri Jesús xutzijoj tanchi jun cꞌambal naꞌoj chique: «Rutakanic ri Dios petinak chilaꞌ chicaj e pachaꞌ juna ijaꞌ re moxtasa xutic jun achi chwa ri rulew.


eng: Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

eng: but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.

eng: What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”

acr: »Noꞌj rijaꞌ xtzak can pa chomilaj ulew e pachaꞌ ri ticawex caquita Ruchꞌaꞌtem ri Dios, lic caquimaj usucꞌ y lic cꞌo cꞌu quijikꞌobalil quilitaj che ri quibinic.

eng: What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

eng: yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

acr: »Rijaꞌ xtzak can pa tak abaj, e pachaꞌ ri ticawex caquita Ruchꞌaꞌtem ri Dios y caquicoj rucꞌ quiꞌcotemal.


eng: When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

eng: Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.

acr: »Pakatzij wi cambiꞌij che alak: Na jinta junok chique ri ticawex ebalaxinak wara che ruwachulew más cꞌo uwach chwa ri Juan Aj Yaꞌl Bautismo. Pero chwi cꞌu riꞌ waꞌ wa queꞌec, china ri coc chupa rutakanic ri Dios petinak chilaꞌ chicaj, tob na jinta uwach, más nim ukꞌij ralaxic chwa ri Juan.

eng: As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

acr: Ecꞌuchiriꞌ xebec rique, ri Jesús xujek cachꞌaꞌt puwi ri Juan chique ri winak, jewaꞌ xubiꞌij: «¿Saꞌ ri xeꞌila alak pa ri luwar catzꞌintzꞌotic? ¿Xeꞌila neba alak jun achi na jinta ucowil xa pachaꞌ tani cajabajoꞌx ruma ri tew?


eng: Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

eng: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

eng: Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

acr: Ri Jesús xucꞌul uwach: —Jix y chitzijoj che ri Juan ronoje wa quixtajin che utayic y che rilic.


eng: and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”

acr: chaꞌ keꞌkitzꞌonoj che: —¿E rilal Ruchaꞌoꞌn lo ri Dios, ri Jun bꞌiꞌtal chik kakꞌunik, o kaqoyꞌej chi junoq chik? —xechaꞌ.

eng: He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.

acr: »China ri na caraj taj cutij cꞌax ruma e nutijoꞌn, riꞌ na takal ta che caterej chwij.


eng: He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.

eng: Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

acr: Rumal-i, mi xij iwib chique i winak, wach quiqui ʼan chiwe. (Chi ʼana co che i cʼux chu bixquil in tzij chique.) Niʼpa i n-ʼalijinsam taj, ca ʼalijinsax na; niʼpa i uwam u wach, ca ʼiltaj ni u wach.
