¹In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

¹Nak yôqueb chi ch'utlâc li q'uila mil chi tenamit, yôqueb chixtiquisinquil ribeb. Li Jesús qui-oc chi âtinac riq'uineb lix tzolom xbên cua ut quixye: -Mêbânu jo' neque'xbânu laj fariseo. A'aneb aj ca' pac'al u.

²For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

²Mâc'a' naru na-uxman chi mukmu chi inc'a' ta tâc'utûnk. Mâc'a' cuan chi mukmu chi inc'a' ta tâna'ek'.

³Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

³Mâc'a' naru nayeman sa' cab chi mukmu chiru k'ojyîn chi inc'a' ta tâêlk resil chi cutanquil. Ut mâc'a' naru nayeman chi hasbanbil sa' cab chi inc'a' ta tâabîk resil yalak bar.

⁴And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

⁴Ex cuamîg, lâin ninye êre nak mexxucuac chiruheb li ani te'raj camsînc êre xban nak mâc'a' naru te'xbânu riq'uin lê râm.

⁵But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

⁵Lâin tinye êre ani li tento têxucua ru. Chexucuâk ru li Dios li naru târisi xyu'am li junjûnk ut cuan xcuanquil chixtaklanquil li âmej sa' xbalba. A'an li tento têxucua ru.

⁶Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

⁶¿Ma inc'a' ta bi' nac'ayîc ôb chi tzentzeyul chi cuib centavo? K'axal cubenak xtz'ak, abanan mâ jun reheb a'an nasach sa' xch'ôl li Dios.

⁷But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

⁷Jo'can ajcui' li rismal lê jolom ajlanbileb chixjunil xban li Dios. Jo'can nak mexxucuac chiruheb li xic' neque'iloc êre xban nak lâex k'axal terto êtz'ak chiruheb nabal chi tzentzeyul.

⁸Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

⁸Lâin tinye êre nak li ani naxye chiruheb li tenamit nak niquinixpâb, lâin tinye chiruheb lix ángel li Dios nak a'an cualal inc'ajol.

⁹But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

⁹Ut li ani tâtz'ektânânk cue chiruheb li tenamit, lâin tintz'ektâna ajcui' a'an chiruheb lix ángel li Dios.

¹⁰And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

¹⁰Li ani tâhobok cue lâin li C'ajolbej, tâcuyek' xmâc xban li Dios. Abanan li ani tâmajecuânk re li Santil Musik'ej inc'a' tâcuyek' xmâc.

¹¹And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

¹¹Nak texc'amek' chiruheb li neque'taklan sa' li cab li neque'xch'utub cui' ribeb laj judío, malaj ut chiruheb laj rakol âtin ut chiruheb li cuanqueb sa' xcuanquil, inc'a' yôkex chixc'oxlanquil li c'a'ru texsumênk cui' malaj ut li c'a'ru têye,

¹²For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

¹²xban nak li Santil Musik'ej tixc'utbesi chêru sa' li hônal a'an chanru texsumênk cui', chan li Jesús.

¹³And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

¹³Jun li cuînk quiâtinac chak sa' xyânkeb li q'uila tenamit ut quixye re li Jesús: -At tzolonel, ye re li cuas nak xjachak li jun cablal li quicanabâc chok' ke ut xq'uehak cue li jo' q'uial tintz'ak lâin, chan.

¹⁴And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

¹⁴A'ut li Jesús quixye re: -At cuînk, lâin inc'a' xakabanbilin chi rakoc âtin sa' êbên chi moco xakabanbilin chixjachinquil lê jun cablal.

¹⁵And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

¹⁵Ut quixye ajcui' reheb chixjunileb li cuanqueb aran: -Q'uehomak retal li c'a'ru têbânu. Inc'a' yôkex chixrahinquil ru li biomal, xban nak moco riq'uin ta kabiomal yo'yôco, chan.

¹⁶And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

¹⁶Ut quixye ajcui' jun li jaljôquil ru âtin reheb. Quixye: -Cuan jun li cuînk biom. Cuan jun xch'och' châbil ut nabal li acuîmk na-el chi sa'.

¹⁷And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

¹⁷Qui-oc chixc'oxlanquil ut quixye sa' xch'ôl, "¿C'a'ru tinbânu? Mâc'a' chic xna'aj li ru li cuacuîmk", chan.

¹⁸And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

¹⁸Ut quixye, "Ninnau c'a'ru tinbânu. Tinpo' li rochochil li ru li cuacuîmk li cuanqueb. Ut tinyîb chic jalan nînk chok' rêkaj. Ut chi sa' a'an tinxoc chixjunil li ru li cuacuîmk jo' ajcui' chixjunil li c'a'ru cuan cue."

¹⁹And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

¹⁹Ut tinye: "Us xak cue. Cuan nabal c'a'ru cue xocxo inban re tinnumsi nabal chihab. Anakcuan tinhilânk, tincua'ak, tin-uc'ak, ut tâsahok' sa' inch'ôl", chan.

²⁰But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

²⁰Abanan li Dios quixye re, "Abi, at jip aj cuînk. Chiru a k'ojyîn a'in tatcâmk. Ut chixjunil li xocxo âban, ¿ani aj e tâcanâk cui'?"

²¹So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

²¹Lâin ninye êre: jo'ca'in naxc'ul li naxc'ûla xbiomal sa' ruchich'och' ut riq'uin li Dios mâc'a' xbiomal, chan li Jesús.

²²And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

²²Ut li Jesús quixye reheb lix tzolom: -Mixic êch'ôl chixc'oxlanquil chanru nak tênumsi li cutan junjûnk, chi moco riq'uin li c'a'ru têtzaca chi moco riq'uin lix tikibanquil êrib.

²³The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

²³Li kayu'am, a'an k'axal lok' chiru li katzacaêmk. Ut li katibel, a'an k'axal lok' chiru li kak'.

²⁴Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

²⁴Cheq'uehak retal li xul li neque'rupupic chiru choxa. Eb a'an inc'a' neque'au, chi moco neque'k'oloc, chi moco neque'xxoc xcuaheb chi moco cuan xc'ulanquil xtzacaêmkeb. Abanan li Dios naxq'ue xtzacaêmkeb. ¿Ma toja' ta chic lâex inc'a' tixq'ue êtzacaêmk?

²⁵And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

²⁵¿Ani êre lâex târûk tixtik ru lix yu'am usta naxtacuasi rib xc'oxlanquil?

²⁶If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

²⁶Cui inc'a' nequexru xbânunquil li c'a'ak re ru a'in, ¿c'a'ut nak nequetacuasi êrib chixc'oxlanquil?

²⁷Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

²⁷Q'uehomak retal li utz'u'uj chanru nak neque'q'ui chi inc'a' neque'c'anjelac chi moco neque'quemoc. A'ut lâin tinye êre, usta c'ajo' xchak'al ru lix tikibanquil laj Salomón, abanan inc'a' quixtau xchak'al ru li utz'u'uj a'in.

²⁸If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

²⁸Ut cui li Dios naxq'ue lix ch'ina'usal li pim li cuan junpât ajcui' ut cuulaj q'uebilak sa' xam, ¿ma toja' ta chic lâex inc'a' textikib? Lâex inc'a' nequexpâban chi tz'akal.

²⁹And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

²⁹Jo'can ut nak inc'a' yôk êc'a'ux chirix lê cua êruc'a.

³⁰For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

³⁰Lê yucua' li cuan sa' choxa naxnau li c'a'ru nequeraj ru. Li inc'a' neque'xpâb li Dios, ca'aj cui' lix tzacaêmkeb neque'xc'oxla.

³¹But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

³¹Abanan lâex têsic' lix nimajcual cuanquilal li Dios ut chixjunil li c'a'ak re ru a'in talajq'uehek' êre chok' xtz'akob.

³²Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

³²Mexxucuac ex cualal inc'ajol. Usta inc'a' q'uihex, abanan lê yucua' cuan sa' choxa c'ojc'o xch'ôl chixq'uebal êre lix nimajcual cuanquilal.

³³Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

³³C'ayihomak li c'a'ru cuan êre ut sihomak reheb li mâc'a' cuan reheb re nak cuânk êbiomal sa' choxa. Aran inc'a' na-oc laj êlk' chi elk'ac chi moco namaxen. Q'uehomak êch'ôl chirix li biomal li inc'a' na-oso'.

³⁴For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

³⁴Jo'can nak chenauhak nak bar cuan cui' lê biomal, aran ajcui' cuânk lê c'a'ux.

³⁵Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

³⁵Checauresihak êrib. Yôkex chiroybeninquil li Kâcua'. Chanchanakex li môs li lochlo xxam ut yô chiroybeninquil lix patrón.

³⁶And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

³⁶Chanchanakex li môs li yôqueb chiroybeninquil lix patroneb nak tâsuk'îk chak sa' junak sumlâc. Nak tixtoch' li puerta, sa' junpât te'xte chiru.

³⁷Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

³⁷Us xak reheb li môs li yôqueb chiroybeninquil lix patroneb. Nak tâcuulak li patronej, tixtauheb chi ajôqueb ru. Relic chi yâl ninye êre li patronej tixcauresi rib ut tixchunubeb lix môs sa' mêx ut a'an ajcui' tâq'uehok re lix tzacaêmkeb.

³⁸And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

³⁸Us xak reheb li môs li yôkeb chiroybeninquil lix patrón, usta tuktu k'ojyîn malaj ut sakêuc re tâcuulak.

³⁹And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

³⁹Cheq'uehak retal a'in: Cui ta naxnau li yucua'bej sa' li cab jok'e hônal re li k'ojyîn tol-êlk laj êlk', tâyo'lek raj ut inc'a' raj tixcanab chi elk'ac li c'a'ru cuan sa' li rochoch.

⁴⁰Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

⁴⁰Jo'can ajcui' lâex yo'on cuânkex chi oybenînc xban nak inc'a' nequenau jok'e hônal tincuulak lâin li C'ajolbej. Tincuulak chi mâc'a' sa' êch'ôl, chan li Jesús.

⁴¹Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

⁴¹Laj Pedro quixye re li Jesús: -At Kâcua', ¿ma ca'aj cui' ke lâo xaye li jaljôquil ru âtin a'an, malaj ut reheb ajcui' chixjunileb li tenamit?-

⁴²And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

⁴²Ut li Kâcua' quixye re: -Li môs li cuan xna'leb ut châbil, a'an li tâq'uehek' xcuanquil xban lix patrón sa' xbêneb li rech môsil. A'an chic tâq'uehok re xtzacaêmkeb sa' x-ôril.

⁴³Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

⁴³Us xak re li môs li yôk chixbânunquil lix c'anjel sa' xyâlal nak tâc'ulûnk lix patrón.

⁴⁴Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

⁴⁴Relic chi yâl tinye êre nak li patrón a'an, tixk'axtesi sa ruk' chixjunil lix jun cablal.

⁴⁵But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

⁴⁵Abanan cui li môs a'an inc'a' us lix na'leb, tixye sa' xch'ôl, "Lin patrón tâbâyk chi c'ulûnc". Ut tâoc chixsac'baleb li rech môsil jo' cuînk jo' ixk ut tâoc chi cua'ac, chi uc'ac ut chi calâc.

⁴⁶The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

⁴⁶Mâc'a'ak sa' xch'ôl nak tâc'ulûnk lix patrón. Ut lix patrón tixq'ue chixtojbal rix lix mâc ut tixtakla sa' xyânkeb li inc'a' useb xna'leb.

⁴⁷And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

⁴⁷Li môs li naxnau c'a'ru naraj lix patrón ut chi tîc mâc'a' naxbânu, li jun a'an tâsaq'uek' chi cau.

⁴⁸But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

⁴⁸Abanan li môs li inc'a' naxbânu li us xban nak inc'a' naxnau c'a'ru naraj lix patrón, li jun a'an tixc'ul ajcui' xtojbal xmâc.

⁴⁹I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

⁴⁹Li Jesús quixye ajcui': -Chanchan li xinq'ue xam sa' ruchich'och' nak xinchal lâin xban nak sa' inc'aba' lâin nabal li ch'a'ajquilal tâcuânk. Nacuaj ta ac xnume' li ch'a'ajquilal a'in.

⁵⁰But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

⁵⁰Abanan tento tinc'ul jun li cubi ha' xbên cua. Ut li cubi ha', a'an li nimla raylal li tinc'ul. Ut yôkin chiroybeninquil li hônal a'an chi ra sa' inch'ôl toj tâcuulak xk'ehil nak tâc'ulmânk.

⁵¹Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

⁵¹Mâre lâex nequec'oxla nak junes tuktûquil usilal xinc'am chak sa' ruchich'och'. Inc'a'. Tâcuânk ajcui' nabal li ch'a'ajquilal.

⁵²For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

⁵²Chalen anakcuan inc'a' chic sa te'cuânk li jûnk cabal sa' rochocheb xban nak cuan li te'pâbânk cue ut cuan inc'a'. Mâre cuan ôb chi cristian sa' li jun cabal. Oxib xic' te'ril li cuib chic. Ut li cuib xic' te'ril li oxib chic.

⁵³The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

⁵³Li yucua'bej xic' târil li ralal, ut li alalbej xic' târil lix yucua'. Li na'bej xic' târil lix co' ut li co'bej xic' târil lix na'. Ut li na'bej xic' târil li ralib ut li alibej xic' târil lix na' lix bêlom.

⁵⁴And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

⁵⁴Li Jesús quixye ajcui' reheb li q'uila tenamit: -Nak nequeril nak yô chi châlc li chok bar na-oc cui' li sak'e, nequeye, "Hôn naxq'ue hab", chanquex. Ut yâl ajcui' nak naxq'ue li hab.

⁵⁵And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

⁵⁵Ut jo'can ajcui' nak nachal li ik' sa' li sur. Nequeye, "Tik ru li cutan tixq'ue anakcuan," chanquex. Ut yâl ajcui' nak naxq'ue li tik.

⁵⁶Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

⁵⁷Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

⁵⁷¿C'a'ut nak inc'a' nequeq'ue retal c'a'ru li us têbânu?

⁵⁸When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
