¹And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

¹Li Jesús qui-oc chixyebal li jaljôquil ru âtin reheb ut quixye chi jo'ca'in: Jun li cuînk quirau jun sîr li racuîmk uvas ut quixsut sa' corral. Quixyîb jun xna'aj bar te'xyatz' cui' li uvas ut quixyîb ajcui' jun ch'ina cab najt xteram re li tâc'ac'alênk re li acuîmk. Quixsiq'ueb laj ilol re li racuîmk. Ut laj êchal re li acuîmk cô sa' jalanil tenamit.

²And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

²Nak quicuulac xk'ehil xsic'bal ru li acuîmk, laj êchal re quixtakla jun lix môs riq'uineb laj ilol re chixc'ulbal li ru li racuîmk li jo' q'uial tâtz'ak a'an.

³And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

³A'ut eb laj ilol re li acuîmk que'xchap li môs ut que'xsac'. Ut que'xtakla chi mâc'a' que'xq'ue re.

⁴And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

⁴Laj êchal re li acuîmk quixtakla jun chic lix môs riq'uineb. Ut que'xjor xjolom chi pec. K'axal ra que'xbânu re.

⁵And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

⁵Ut laj êchal re quixtakla cui'chic jun lix môs ut li jun a'an que'xcamsi. Ut toj nabal cui'chic lix môs quixtakla riq'uineb laj ilol re li racuîmk. Cuan yal que'xsac' ut cuan que'xcamsi.

⁶Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

⁶Ca'aj chic li ralal quicana, li k'axal naxra. -Li cualal te'x-oxlok'i, chan sa' xch'ôl. Jo'can nak quixtakla li ralal riq'uineb.

⁷But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.

⁷Nak quicuulac li ralal, eb laj ilol re li acuîmk que'xye chi ribileb rib, -A'an li ralal li tâêchanînk re li na'ajej. Kacamsihak, chanqueb, ut lâo chic toêchanînk re.-

⁸And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

⁸Jo'can nak que'xchap. Nak ac que'xcamsi que'xcut chak jun pac'al li ch'och'.

⁹What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

⁹Ut li Jesús quixye reheb: -¿C'a'ru tixbânu laj êchal re li acuîmk nak nequec'oxla lâex? Tâchâlk ut tixcamsiheb laj ilol re li racuîmk, ut jalan chic aj e tixq'ue li jun sîr chi uvas.

¹⁰And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

¹⁰¿Ma inc'a' xeril sa' li Santil Hu li naxye chi jo'ca'in? Li pec li que'xtz'ektâna laj cablanel, a'an li k'axal lok' li quiq'ueman chok' xxuc li cab.

¹¹This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

¹¹Li Kâcua' a'an quixq'ue xlok'al li pec. Ut a'an xsachba ch'ôlej chok' ke lâo.- (Sal. 118:22, 23)

¹²And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

¹²Eb laj tij ut eb laj tz'îb ut eb li xakabanbileb chi c'anjelac sa' rochoch li Dios que'xc'oxla raj xchapbal li Jesús re te'xq'ue sa' tz'alam xban nak que'xtau ru nak chirixeb a'an yô chi âtinac nak quixye li jaljôquil ru âtin a'an. Abanan que'xucuac xbaneb li tenamit. Jo'can nak que'xcanab ut que'el sa' li na'ajej a'an.

¹³And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

¹³Mokon chic que'xtakla riq'uin li Jesús cuib oxibeb laj fariseo rochbeneb cuib oxibeb li neque'oquen chirix laj Herodes re xsic'bal c'a'ru tâpaltok cui' riq'uin li râtin re nak te'xchap.

¹⁴And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

¹⁴Que'cuulac riq'uin li Jesús ut que'xye re: -At tzolonel, nakanau nak lâat yâl nacat-âtinac ut inc'a' nacaxucua ruheb li tenamit. Yalak ani aj e nacaye lix yâlal. Ut nacac'ut chiruheb li c'a'ru naraj li Dios. Ye ke, ¿ma us xq'uebal li toj re li acuabej malaj ut inc'a'? ¿Ma takaq'ue malaj ut inc'a'? chanqueb.

¹⁵Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

¹⁵Li Jesús naxnau nak aj ca'pac'aleb. Quixye reheb: -¿C'a'ut nak nequeraj xyalbal cuix? C'amomak chak li tumin. Cuilak, chan reheb.

¹⁶And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

¹⁶Ut eb a'an que'xc'ut li tumin chiru. Ut li Jesús quixye reheb: -¿Ani aj e li jalam ûch li cuan chiru? Ut, ¿ani aj c'aba' li tz'îbanbil chiru?- Eb a'an que'chak'oc ut que'xye: -Re li acuabej, chanqueb.

¹⁷And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

¹⁷Ut li Jesús quixye reheb: -Tojomak re li acuabej li c'a'ru re li acuabej ut tojomak re li Dios li c'a'ru re li Dios, chan. Ut c'ajo' nak que'sach xch'ôleb xban li râtin.

¹⁸Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

¹⁸Tojo'nak que'cuulac riq'uin li Jesús cuib oxib laj saduceo. Eb a'an inc'a' neque'xpâb nak te'cuaclîk cui'chic chi yo'yo li camenak. Que'xye re li Jesús:

¹⁹Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

¹⁹-At tzolonel, laj Moisés quixtz'îba jun kachak'rabinquil ut quixye chi jo'ca'in: Cui junak cuînk tâcâmk ut tixcanab li rixakil chi mâc'a' ralal xc'ajol, tento nak tâc'amek' li rixakil xban li rîtz'in li camenak re nak tâcuânk ralal xc'ajol sa' xc'aba' li camenak.

²⁰Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

²⁰Que'cuan cuukub li cuînk rîtz'ineb rib. Li asbej quixc'am rixakil ut quicam chi inc'a' quixcanab ralal xc'ajol.

²¹And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

²¹Ut quic'ame' li ixk xban li îtz'inbej. Ut quicam ajcui' a'an chi inc'a' quixcanab ralal xc'ajol. Ut jo'can cui'chic li rox îtz'inbej.

²²And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

²²Li ixk a'an quic'ame' xbaneb li cuukub. Ut mâ jun reheb quixcanab ralal xc'ajol. Ut quicam ajcui' li ixk.

²³In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

²³Sa' xcuaclijiqueb li camenak chi yo'yo, nak te'cuaclîk eb a'an, ¿ani aj ixakil tâcanâk cui' li ixk a'an xban nak cuukub lix bêlom quicuan? chanqueb.

²⁴And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

²⁴Quichak'oc li Jesús ut quixye reheb: -Lâex inc'a' nequetau xyâlal xban nak inc'a' nequetau ru li Santil Hu chi moco lix nimal xcuanquil li Dios.

²⁵For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

²⁵Nak te'cuaclîk chi yo'yo sa' xyânkeb li camenak, inc'a' chic te'sumlâk chi moco te'sumubâk chic. Jo'keb ban chic li ángel sa' choxa.

²⁶And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

²⁶Ut chirix lix cuaclijiqueb li camenak chi yo'yo, ¿ma inc'a' êrilom sa' lix hu laj Moisés li c'a'ru quiyehe' re xban li Dios nak quiâtinac chak sa' li q'uix li yô chi c'atc? Quixye chi jo'ca'in, "Lâin lix Dios laj Abraham, lix Dios laj Isaac ut lix Dios laj Jacob", chan li Dios.

²⁷He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

²⁷A'an retalil chok' ke nak toj yo'yôqueb chiru li Dios usta que'cam. Li Dios moco xDioseb ta li camenakeb; xDioseb ban li yo'yôqueb. Jo'can nak lâex chi tîc inc'a' nequetau xyâlal, chan li Jesús reheb.

²⁸And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

²⁸Quicuulac jun reheb laj tz'îb. Ut quirabi nak yôqueb chixcuech'inquil ribeb. Quixq'ue retal nak li Jesús quixchak'beheb chi us, ut quixpatz' re li Jesús: -¿Bar cuan reheb li chak'rab li k'axal nim xcuanquil?-

²⁹And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

²⁹Li Jesús quichak'oc ut quixye re: -Li xbên chak'rab, li k'axal nim xcuanquil, a'an a'in: Abihomak lâex aj Israel, li Kâcua' li kaDios jun ajcui'.

³⁰And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

³⁰Târa li Kâcua' lâ Dios chi anchal âch'ôl ut chi anchal lâ cuâm ut chi anchal lâ c'a'ux ut chi anchal lâ metz'êu. A'an a'in li chak'rab li k'axal nim xcuanquil.

³¹And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

³¹Ut li xcab chanchan ajcui' a'an: Târa lâ cuas âcuîtz'in jo' nak nacara âcuib lâat. Mâc'a' chic junak chak'rab nim xcuanquil chiruheb li cuib a'in, chan.

³²And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

³²Laj tz'îb quichak'oc ut quixye re: -Us li xaye at tzolonel. Yâl li xaye nak jun ajcui' li Dios cuan ut mâc'a' chic junak chirix a'an.

³³And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

³³Tento nak takara li Dios chi anchal li kach'ôl, chi anchal li kac'a'ux, chi anchal li kâm ut chi anchal li kametz'êu. Ut takara li kas kîtz'in jo' nak nakara kib lâo. A'an k'axal nim xcuanquil chiruheb chixjunil li c'atbil mayej ut li mayejanbil xul, chan.

³⁴And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

³⁴Li Jesús quixq'ue retal nak li cuînk quixnau xsumenquil ut quixye re: -Yal ca'ch'in aj chic mâ nacak'axtesi âcuib rubel xcuanquil li Dios, chan. Ut mâ jun chic que'raj patz'oc xban nak qui-oc xc'a'uxeb.

³⁵And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

³⁵Mokon chic nak cuan sa' rochoch li Dios, li Jesús yô chixch'olobanquil lix yâlal chiruheb ut quixye: -¿C'a'ut nak eb laj tz'îb neque'xye nak li Cristo, a'an xcomoneb li ralal xc'ajol laj David?

³⁶For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

³⁶Laj David quixye li c'a'ru quirec'a sa' xch'ôl xban li Santil Musik'ej ut quixye chi jo'ca'in: Li Kâcua' Dios quixye re laj Colol cue, C'ojlan sa' lin nim uk' toj retal tinq'ueheb li xic' neque'iloc âcue rubel lâ cuanquil. (Sal. 110:1)

³⁷David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

³⁷Li rey David quixye "aj Colol cue" re li Kâcua' usta a'an xcomoneb li ralal xc'ajol, chan li Jesús. Ut li q'uila tenamit que'rabi li râtin chi sa sa' xch'ôleb.

³⁸And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

³⁸Nak yô chixch'olobanquil lix yâlal chiruheb, li Jesús quixye: -Mêtzol êrib riq'uineb laj tz'îb li neque'raj bêc chi najt rok li rak'eb re xc'utbal nak cuanqueb xcuanquil. Eb a'an neque'cuulac chiruheb nak te'q'uehek' xlok'al sa' eb li be.

³⁹And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

³⁹Ut nak cuanqueb sa' li cab li neque'xch'utub cui' ribeb laj judío, neque'raj c'ojlâc sa' li na'ajej k'axal lok' ut neque'raj cuânc chi xjolomil li mêx nak neque'xic chi cua'ac sa' junak nink'e.

⁴⁰Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

⁴⁰Neque'xmak' li c'a'ru cuan reheb li xmâlca'an ut re xmukbal li mâusilal neque'xbânu, najt rok neque'tijoc chiruheb li tenamit. Ut xban a'an k'axal ra cui'chic te'xtoj cui' li mâc neque'xbânu.-

⁴¹And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

⁴¹Sa' jun cutan quicuulac li Jesús sa' rochoch li Dios. Quic'ojla chixc'atk lix câxil li mayej. Yô chirilbal li tenamit nak yôqueb chixq'uebal li tumin sa' li câx. Nabaleb li biom nabal lix mayej yôqueb chixq'uebal.

⁴²And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

⁴²Quichal ajcui' jun xmâlca'an neba'. Ut quixq'ue cuib chi tumin jo' tana li jun centavo.

⁴³And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

⁴³Tojo'nak li Jesús quixbokeb lix tzolom ut quixye reheb: -Relic chi yâl tinye êre nak li xmâlca'an neba' nabal xq'ue chiru li mayej li xe'xq'ue chixjunileb.Chixjunileb a'an xe'xq'ue li na-ela'an chiruheb. A'ut li ixk a'in sa' neba'il xq'ue chixjunil li jo' nimal cuan re.-

⁴⁴For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

⁴⁴Chixjunileb a'an xe'xq'ue li na-ela'an chiruheb. A'ut li ixk a'in sa' neba'il xq'ue chixjunil li jo' nimal cuan re.-
