¹And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

¹Sa' jun li cutan yô chi tijoc li Jesús. Ut nak quirake' chi tijoc, jun reheb lix tzolom quixye re: -Kâcua', c'ut chiku li tijoc jo' nak laj Juan quixc'ut li tijoc chiruheb lix tzolom, chan.

²And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

²Ut li Kâcua' quixye reheb: -Nak textijok, têye chi jo'ca'in: Kâcua', cuancat sa' li santil choxa, lok'oninbil taxak lâ santil c'aba'. Chichâlk ta lâ nimajcual cuanquilal. Chi-uxk ta li nacacuaj jo' sa' choxa, jo' ta ajcui' sa' ruchich'och'.

³Give us day by day our daily bread.

³Chaq'ue taxak ke li kacua kuc'a chi cuulaj cuulaj.

⁴And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

⁴Ut chacuy chasach ta li kamâc jo' nak nakacuyeb xmâc li neque'mâcob chiku. Ut moâq'ue chi âlêc. Choâcol ban chiru li inc'a' us.

⁵And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

⁵Ut quixye ajcui' reheb li Jesús: -Kayehak nak lâex cuan ta junak lê ramîg. Ut texxic raj riq'uin tuktu k'ojyîn ut têye raj re, "At cuamîg, mâre tâto'oni oxibak incua.

⁶For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

⁶Jun li cuamîg xchal chak chi najt ut xc'ulun cuiq'uin sa' cab. Ut mâc'a' cuan cue re tinq'ue re."

⁷And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

⁷Ut li jun li cuan chak sa' cab tâchak'ok chak ut tixye, "Minâch'i'ch'i'i. Tz'aptz'o chic li cab. Lâin ut eb lin coc'al yôco chi hilânc. Inc'a' naru nincuacli chixq'uebal âcue li c'a'ru tâcuaj."

⁸I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

⁸Moco xban ta nak ramîg nak tâcuaclîk chixq'uebal re li c'a'ru târaj ru. Tixq'ue ban re xban nak yôk chixpatz'bal ut re nak tixcanab xch'i'ch'i'inquil.

⁹And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

⁹Jo'can ut nak ninye êre: -Nak tâpaltok c'a'ru êre, chextz'âmânk chiru li Dios ut a'an tixq'ue êre. Chesic'ak ut têtau, chebokak ut li puerta tâtehek' chêru.

¹⁰For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

¹⁰Chebânu a'an xban nak li ani natz'âman chiru li Dios naq'uehe' re. Ut li ani naxsic', naxtau. Ut li ani nabokoc, li puerta natehe' chiru.

¹¹If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

¹¹¿Ma cuan ta bi' junak yucua'bej sa' êyânk tixq'ue junak pec re li ralal nak tixpatz' xcua re? Ut nak tixpatz' junak xcar re, ¿ma c'anti' ta bi' tixq'ue re?

¹²Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

¹²Ut nak tixpatz' junak xmol, ¿ma aj xôc' ta bi' tixq'ue re?

¹³If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

¹³Cui lâex li moco châbilex ta nequenau xq'uebal li c'a'ru châbil re lê ralal êc'ajol, ¿ma toja' ta chic lê yucua' cuan sa' choxa inc'a' tixq'ue li Santil Musik'ej re li ani tixtz'âma chiru? chan li Jesús reheb.

¹⁴And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.

¹⁴Li Jesús quirisi jun li mâus aj musik'ej riq'uin jun li cuînk mem. Nak qui-el li mâus aj musik'ej riq'uin, naâtinac chic li cuînk. Ut chixjunileb li cuanqueb aran que'sach xch'ôl xban li c'a'ru quic'ulman.

¹⁵But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

¹⁵Abanan cuanqueb ajcui' li que'yehoc re: -Li cuînk a'in na-isin mâus aj musik'ej riq'uin xcuanquil laj Beelzebú lix yucua'ileb li mâus aj musik'ej, chanqueb.

¹⁶And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

¹⁶Ut cuanqueb ajcui' li que'xtz'âma chiru li Jesús nak tixbânu junak li milagro yal re xyalbal rix.

¹⁷But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

¹⁷Li Jesús quixnau li c'a'ru yôqueb chixc'oxlanquil ut quixye reheb: -Cui cuan jun têpak chi tenamit xic' te'ril rib chi ribileb rib, li jun têp chi tenamit a'an tixsach xcuanquil xjunes rib. Ut cui cuan ta jun cabalak xic' te'ril rib chi ribileb rib, li jun cabal a'an te'xsach xcuanquil lix jun cablaleb.

¹⁸If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

¹⁸Jo'can ajcui' laj tza. Cui xic' neque'ril rib chi ribileb rib, ¿chan ta cui' ru nak xakxôk lix cuanquilal? Lâex nequeye nak riq'uin xcuanquil laj tza nacuisi li mâus aj musik'ej.

¹⁹And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

¹⁹Cui lâin yôquin chirisinquil mâus aj musik'ej riq'uin xcuanquil laj tza, ¿ani aj cuanquil neque'isin cui' mâus aj musik'ej li neque'tâken êre lâex? Jo'can nak a'an eb ajcui' te'yehok re nak inc'a' yâl li yôquex chixyebal.

²⁰But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

²⁰Cui ut riq'uin xcuanquil li Dios nacuisiheb li mâus aj musik'ej, riq'uin a'an nac'utun nak relic chi yâl ac xc'ulun sa' êyânk lix nimajcual cuanquilal li Dios.

²¹When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

²¹Laj tza chanchan jun li cuînk cau rib ut cuan sa' ruk' lix ch'îch' re xcolbal rib. Yôk chixc'ac'alenquil li rochoch. Mâc'a' tixc'ul li c'a'ru re xban nak yôk chixc'ac'alenquil.

²²But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

²²Abanan cui tâchâlk junak k'axal cau rib chiru a'an, a'an chic tânumtâk sa' xbên ut tâmak'ek' chiru lix ch'îch' li cau cui' xch'ôl ut tâjeq'uîk li c'a'ru re.

²³He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

²³Li ani inc'a' na-oquen chicuix, a'an xic' ninril. Ut ani inc'a' natenk'an cue, narisi xcuanquil li c'a'ru ninbânu lâin, chan li Jesús.

²⁴When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

²⁴Nak ac x-el riq'uin junak cuînk, li mâus aj musik'ej naxic sa' li na'ajej bar mâc'a' cuan chixsic'bal bar tâoc chi hilânc. Naril nak inc'a' naxtau xna'aj. Naxye: -Lâin tinsuk'îk cui'chic riq'uin li cuînk bar xin-el cui' chak, chan.

²⁵And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

²⁵Ut nak nacuulac riq'uin naxtau li cuînk chanchan jun li cab mâc'a' chic cuan chi sa'. Mesunbil ut ac cauresinbil roybeninquil li ani tâoc chi sa'.

²⁶Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

²⁶Ut li mâus aj musik'ej naxsic' cuukub chic chi mâus aj musik'ej k'axal cui'chic numtajenak xmâusilaleb chiru a'an. Neque'oc chi cuânc riq'uin li cuînk. Ut lix na'leb li cuînk a'an numtajenak chic xyibal ru chiru nak quicuan junxil.

²⁷And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

²⁷Ut nak yô chixyebal eb li âtin a'in li Jesús, jun li ixk quiâtinac chak chi cau sa' xyânkeb li q'uila tenamit, ut quixye: -Us xak re li ixk li x-alan âcue ut xtu'resin âcue, chan.

²⁸But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

²⁸Li Jesús quichak'oc ut quixye: -K'axal cui'chic us chok' reheb li neque'abin re li râtin li Dios ut neque'xbânu li c'a'ru naxye.

²⁹And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

²⁹Nak yôqueb chi ch'utlâc li q'uila tenamit riq'uin, li Jesús quixye reheb: -Li cristian li cuanqueb sa' eb li cutan a'in inc'a' useb xna'leb. Te'raj tâc'utbesîk junak milagro chiruheb. Abanan mâ jun milagro tâc'utbesîk chiruheb. Ca'aj cui' li milagro li qui-ux re laj Jonás, li quic'utbesîc chiruheb junxil.

³⁰For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

³⁰Li milagro li quixc'ul laj Jonás nak quicole', a'an retalil chiruheb li tenamit Nínive nak a'an taklanbil xban li Dios. Jo'can ajcui' lâin li C'ajolbej. Li milagro li tinc'ul lâin, a'an jun retalil chiruheb li tenamit sa' eb li cutan a'in nak lâin taklanbilin xban li Dios, chan.

³¹The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

³¹Li ixk li quicuan chok' reina sa' li tenamit li cuan sa' li sur, tâcuaclîk chak sa' xk'ehil nak târakek' âtin sa' êbên ut tixye nak cuan êmâc xban nak inc'a' xerabi li cuâtin.

Abanan inc'a' nequepâb li cuâtin.

³²The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

³²Ut te'cuaclîk ajcui' eb li que'cuan sa' li tenamit Nínive sa' xk'ehil nak târakek' âtin sa' êbên lâex li cuanquex sa' eb li cutan a'in.

³³No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

³³Mâ ani tixloch junak candil ut tixq'ue ta chi mukmu malaj ut tixq'ue rubel chacach. Naxq'ue ban sa' junak na'ajej najt xteram re nak cuânkeb sa' cutan li ani te'oc sa' li cab.

³⁴The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

³⁴Li xnak' êru chanchan jun li lámpara. Xban nak na-iloc li xnak' êru cuanquex sa' cutan. Cui ta mâc'a' li xnak' êru cuanquex raj sa' k'ojyîn.

³⁵Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

³⁵Cui inc'a' us li kana'leb, cuanco sa' k'ojyîn. Chanchano jun li mutz' li inc'a' na-iloc. Chebânu cuênt re nak junelic cuânkex sa' cutan saken.

³⁶If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

³⁶Jo'can ut cui cuanquex sa' cutan saken, moco cuanquex ta chic sa' k'ojyîn. Châbilak ban chic lê na'leb. Xban nak châbil lê na'leb, chanchanakex chic jun li xam li nacutanobresin, chan.

³⁷And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

³⁷Ut nak li Jesús quirake' chi âtinac riq'uineb, jun reheb laj fariseo quixbok li Jesús chi cua'ac sa' rochoch. Qui-oc li Jesús sa' rochoch laj fariseo ut quichunla chi cua'ac sa' mêx.

³⁸And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

³⁸Laj fariseo quisach xch'ôl chirilbal nak li Jesús inc'a' quich'ajoc jo' c'aynakeb xbânunquil eb laj judío.

³⁹And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

³⁹Li Jesús quixye re: -Lâex aj fariseo nequech'aj li rix lê sec' ut lê plato; abanan tz'aj lix sa'. Lâex chanchanex li sec' li tz'aj xsa' xban nak numtajenak lê mâusilal ut li elk'ac nequebânu.

⁴⁰Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

⁴⁰Lâex mâc'a' êna'leb. ¿Ma inc'a' nequenau nak li ani quiyo'obtesin re li rix, a'an ajcui' li quiyo'obtesin re lix sa'?

⁴¹But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

⁴¹Mêrahi ru li c'a'ru re jalan. Chesihak ban li c'a'ru cuan êre reheb li neba'. Cui têbânu chi jo'can châbilakex chic chiru li Dios, chan.

⁴²But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

⁴²Ra châlel sa' êbên lâex aj fariseo. Nequemayeja li junjûnk sa' xlajêtkil li isqui'ij, li ruda ut li c'a'ak re ru chi ichajil li nati'e'. Abanan inc'a' nequera li Dios ut inc'a' nequebânu li tîquilal. Us xq'uebal li junjûnk sa' xlajêtkil, abanan k'axal cui'chic tento xrâbal li Dios ut xbânunquil li tîquilal.

⁴³Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

⁴³Ra châlel sa' êbên lâex aj fariseo li nacuulac chêru c'ojlâc sa' li na'ajej k'axal lok' nak nequexxic sa' li cab li nequech'utub cui' êrib. Ut nacuulac chêru nak tâq'uehek' êlok'al sa' eb li be.

⁴⁴Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

⁴⁴Ra châlel sa' êbên lâex aj tzolol chak'rab ut lâex aj fariseo xban nak inc'a' us lê na'leb. Lâex aj ca' pac'al u. Chanchanex li muklebâl li inc'a' nac'utun. Yalak ani nanume' sa' xbên xban nak inc'a' neque'xnau c'a'ru cuan aran, chan.

⁴⁵Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

⁴⁵Quichak'oc jun reheb laj tzolol chak'rab ut quixye re li Jesús: -At tzolonel, riq'uin li c'a'ru yôcat chixyebal, yôcat chixc'utbal kaxutân lâo.-

⁴⁶And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁶Ut li Jesús quixye: -Ra ajcui' châlel sa' êbên lâex aj tzolol chak'rab. K'axal âl li îk nequeq'ue sa' xbêneb li cristian ut k'axal ch'a'aj xc'ambal. Lâex nequeye nak tento te'xbânu chixjunil li naxye li chak'rab. Abanan chi moco lâex nequexru xbânunquil.

⁴⁷Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴⁷Ra châlel sa' êbên lâex aj tzolol chak'rab xban nak lâex aj ca' pac'al u. Nequerutz'u'uji chak ru li que'muke' cui' li profetas li que'xcamsi lê xe'tônil yucua'.

⁴⁸Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

⁴⁸Riq'uin li mâusilal nequebânu nac'utun nak juntak'êtex riq'uineb lê xe'tônil yucua'. Eb a'an que'camsin reheb li profeta ut lâex nequeyîb lix muklebâleb.

⁴⁹Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

⁴⁹Li Dios, a'an cuan xna'leb. Jo'can nak quixye, "Lâin tintaklaheb li profeta ut eb li apóstol riq'uineb. Sa' xyânkeb a'an cuan têcamsiheb, ut cuan ajcui' têtâkeheb re xchapbaleb."

⁵⁰That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

⁵⁰Ut anakcuan lâex chic textojok rix lix camiqueb chixjunileb li profeta chalen chak sa' xticlajic li ruchich'och'.

⁵¹From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

⁵¹Yâl nak lâex textojok rix lix camiqueb a'an. Tâticlâk riq'uin lix camic laj Abel ut toj riq'uin lix camic laj Zacarías li quicamsîc chiru nebâl chixc'atk li templo ut li artal.

⁵²Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

⁵²Ra châlel sa' êbên lâex, aj tzolol chak'rab, xban nak nequemuk lix yâlal chiruheb li tenamit. Lâex inc'a' nequepâb li Dios, chi moco nequecanabeb chi pâbânc li neque'raj raj pâbânc, chan li Jesús reheb.

⁵³And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

⁵³Ut nak quirake' chixyebal eb li âtin a'in, c'ajo' nak que'josk'o' eb laj tzolol chak'rab ut eb laj fariseo. Que'oc chixch'i'ch'i'inquil ut nabal li c'a'ak re ru yôqueb chixpatz'bal re.Yôqueb chi patz'oc re li Jesús yal re rilbal ma tixye junak âtin inc'a' us re nak târûk te'xjit.

⁵⁴Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

⁵⁴Yôqueb chi patz'oc re li Jesús yal re rilbal ma tixye junak âtin inc'a' us re nak târûk te'xjit.
