¹And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

¹Li Jesús quixye reheb lix tzolom li jaljôquil ru âtin a'in: Quicuan jun li cuînk k'axal biom ut quicuan jun xmertôm. Cuanqueb li que'jitoc chirix li mertôm chiru li patrón ut que'xye re: -Lâ mertôm yô chixsachbal lâ biomal, chanqueb re.

²And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

²Jo'can nak quixbok lix mertôm ut quixye re: -¿C'a'ru xyâlal li yôquin chirabinquil châcuix? Tâk'axtesi lâ cuênt nak xatcuan chi c'anjelac xban nak inc'a' chic tatcanâk chok' inmertôm, chan re.

³Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

³Ut li mertôm quixye sa' xch'ôl: -¿C'a'ru tinbânu anakcuan xban nak lin patrón tinrisi sa' lin c'anjel? Inc'a' tincuy li cacuil c'anjel ut tinxutânâk chi xic chixtz'âmanquil c'a'ru cue chire cablal.

⁴I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

⁴Anakcuan ninnau c'a'ru tinbânu re nak cuânkeb li tine'xc'ul sa' rochocheb nak tin-isîk chi mertômil, chan sa' xch'ôl.

⁵So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

⁵Quixbokeb chak chi xjûnkaleb li cuanqueb xc'as riq'uin lix patrón. Ut quixye re li xbên: -¿Jo' nimal lâ c'as riq'uin lin patrón? chan.

⁶And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

⁶Ut li cuînk quixye re: -O'c'âl barril chi aceite, chan. Ut li mertôm quixye re: -Cue' li hu li tz'îbanbil cui' retalil lâ c'as. Chunlan ut jal sa' junpât. Lajêb roxc'âl aj chic tâtz'îba retalil chiru li hu a'in, chan.

⁷Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

⁷Ut quixye cui'chic re li jun chic: -Ut lâat, ¿jo' nimal lâ c'as? chan. Ut li cuînk quixye: -O'c'âl bisoc chi trigo, chan. Li mertôm quixye re: -Cue' li hu li tz'îbanbil cui' retalil lâ c'as. Jal ut câc'âl bisoc aj chic tâtz'îba retalil chiru li hu a'in, chan.

⁸And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

⁸Ut li patrón quisach xch'ôl chirilbal nak k'axal cuan xna'leb li mertôm li inc'a' us xna'leb. Eb li inc'a' neque'xnau lix yâlal k'axal sêbeb xch'ôl chixc'oxlanquil chanru tixtenk'a rib, usta inc'a' us tixbânu reheb li ras rîtz'in. K'axal sêbeb xch'ôl chiruheb li ralal xc'ajol li Dios.

⁹And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

⁹Cuan li neque'xbânu li inc'a' us riq'uin lix biomal. Abanan, lâin ninye êre, chebânu usilal reheb lê ras êrîtz'in riq'uin lê biomal sa' ruchich'och'. Ut nak tâlajk tâosok' lê biomal, texc'ulek' sa' li na'ajej li mâc'a' roso'jic.

¹⁰He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

¹⁰Li ani tîc xch'ôl chixbânunquil li yal ca'ch'in, tîcak ajcui' xch'ôl chixbânunquil li nabal. Ut li ani inc'a' tîc xch'ôl chixbânunquil li yal ca'ch'in, inc'a' ajcui' tîcak xch'ôl chixbânunquil li nabal.

¹¹If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

¹¹Cui lâex inc'a' nequenau xrâbal li biomal sa' ruchich'och', ¿chan ta cui' ru nak tixc'ojob xch'ôl li Dios chixq'uebal êre li tz'akal biomal?

¹²And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

¹²Ut cui inc'a' nequenau xrâbal li c'a'ru re jalan, ¿chan ta cui' ru nak tâk'axtesîk êre lâex li c'a'ru tz'akal êre?

¹³No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

¹³Mâ ani târûk tâc'anjelak chiru cuib chi patrón. Mâre tixra li jun ut xic' târil li jun chic, malaj ut xic' târil li jun ut tixra li jun chic. Inc'a' naru texc'anjelak chiru li Dios cui junes lê biomal nequec'oxla.

¹⁴And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

¹⁴Nak eb laj fariseo que'rabi li quixye li Jesús, que'oc chixse'enquil xban nak neque'xra lix biomaleb.

¹⁵And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

¹⁵Ut li Jesús quixye reheb: -Lâex nequetîcobresi êch'ôl êjunes chiruheb li tenamit. Abanan li Dios naxnau chanru lê na'leb. Li c'a'ru k'axal lok' chiruheb li cuînk sa' ruchich'och', a'an tz'ektânanbil xban li Dios.

¹⁶The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

¹⁶Chixjunil li tijleb li que'xc'ut eb li profeta junxil, jo' ajcui' lix chak'rab laj Moisés, quirake' xyebal nak laj Juan laj Cubsihom Ha' quic'ulun chixch'olobanquil resil nak châlc re lix nimajcual cuanquilal li Dios. Ut nabaleb yôqueb chixyalbal xk'e chi oc rubel lix nimajcual cuanquilal li Dios.

¹⁷And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

¹⁷Li choxa ut li ruchich'och', a'an moco ch'a'aj ta nak tâosok'. Abanan mâ jun li âtin li tz'îbanbil sa' li chak'rab, târûk tâisîk xcuanquil, usta k'axal ca'ch'in.

¹⁸Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

¹⁸Li ani tixjach rib riq'uin li rixakil ut tâsumlâk riq'uin jalan chic ixk, a'an tixmux ru lix sumlajic. Ut li cuînk li tâsumlâk riq'uin junak ixk li ac xjach rib riq'uin lix bêlom, tixmux ru lix sumlajic.

¹⁹There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

¹⁹Quicuan jun li cuînk biom. Naxtikib rib riq'uin châbil t'icr k'axal terto xtz'ak ut rajlal cutan nanink'eîc.

²⁰And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

²⁰Quicuan ajcui' jun li cuînk neba' aj Lázaro xc'aba'. Xox rix. Rajlal naxchunub rib chire li oquebâl re li rochoch li biom.

²¹And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

²¹Naxra raj ru xtzacanquil xc'aj li cua li nat'ane' sa' xbên xmêx li biom. Eb li tz'i' neque'chal riq'uin ut neque'xrek' ru lix xox.

²²And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

²²Quicuulac xk'ehil nak quicam li neba' ut quic'ame' xbaneb li ángel toj sa' choxa bar cuan cui' laj Abraham. Ut quicam ajcui' li biom ut quimuke'.

²³And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²³Nak ac cuan sa' xbalba, yô chixc'ulbal li raylal aran. Qui-iloc takec' ut quiril laj Abraham ut laj Lázaro cuan chixc'atk.

²⁴And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

²⁴Quixjap re ut quixye: -Kâcua' Abraham, chacuil taxak xtok'obâl cuu. Chatakla laj Lázaro chintenk'anquil. Chixt'akresi chak li ru'uj ruk' sa' ha' ut tolxquehobresi li ru'uj cuak' xban nak c'ajo' li raylal yôquin chixc'ulbal sa' li xam a'in, chan.

²⁵But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

²⁵Ut laj Abraham quixye re: -At cuas cuîtz'in, julticak âcue nak toj yo'yôcat sa' ruchich'och' nabal âbiomal ut k'axal sa nak xatcuan. Ut laj Lázaro c'ajo' li raylal quixc'ul. Anakcuan c'ojobanbil xch'ôl laj Lázaro arin ut lâat k'axal ra cuancat.

²⁶And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

²⁶Ut cuan jun nimla chamal jul naramoc re li na'ajej cuanco cui'. Ut mâ jun ke târûk tânumek' re tâxic êriq'uin, chi moco lâex târûk texnumek' chak arin, chan laj Abraham re li biom.

²⁷Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

²⁷Tojo'nak li biom quixye re: -Tintz'âma châcuu, at Kâcua' Abraham, takla laj Lázaro sa' rochoch lin yucua'.

²⁸For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

²⁸Aran cuanqueb ôb li cuîtz'in. Chatakla xch'olobanquil xyâlal chiruheb re nak eb a'an inc'a' te'châlk sa' li na'ajej a'in chi c'uluc raylal, chan.

²⁹Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

²⁹Laj Abraham quixye re: -Cuan riq'uineb li hu li tz'îbanbil xban laj Moisés, ut eb li profeta. Che'xq'uehak retal li c'a'ru tz'îbanbil sa' li hu a'an, chan.

³⁰And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

³⁰Quichak'oc li biom ut quixye: -Inc'a' tz'akal a'an, Kâcua' Abraham. Abanan cui junak camenak tâcuaclîk cui'chic chi yo'yo ut tâxic riq'uineb, te'yot'ek' raj xch'ôl ut te'xjal raj xc'a'uxeb, chan.A'ut laj Abraham quixye re: -Cui inc'a' neque'rabi li quixye laj Moisés ut eb li profeta, inc'a' ajcui' te'pâbânk usta tâcuaclîk cui'chic chi yo'yo junak sa' xyânkeb li camenak, chan laj Abraham.

³¹And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

³¹A'ut laj Abraham quixye re: -Cui inc'a' neque'rabi li quixye laj Moisés ut eb li profeta, inc'a' ajcui' te'pâbânk usta tâcuaclîk cui'chic chi yo'yo junak sa' xyânkeb li camenak, chan laj Abraham.
