¹At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

¹Sa' li cutan a'an que'cuulac lix tzolom riq'uin li Jesús ut que'xye re: -¿Ani li k'axal nim xcuanquil sa' lix nimajcual cuanquilal li Dios?-

²And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

²Ut li Jesús quixbok jun li ch'ina al riq'uin ut quixxakab chiruheb.

³And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

³Ut quixye reheb: -Relic chi yâl tinye êre cui inc'a' têjal êna'leb ut cui inc'a' k'unak êch'ôl jo' li ch'ina al a'in, inc'a' tex-oc sa' lix nimajcual cuanquilal li Dios.

⁴Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

⁴Jo'can nak li ani narec'a nak mâc'a' xcuanquil jo' li ch'ina al a'in, a'an li k'axal nim xcuanquil sa' lix nimajcual cuanquilal li Dios.

⁵And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

⁵Ut li ani tâc'uluk re junak ch'ina al jo' a'in sa' inc'aba' chanchan ajcui' nak lâin xinixc'ul.

⁶But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

⁶Ut li ani tâpo'ok xch'ôleb li toj k'uneb xch'ôl li neque'pâban cue, k'axal raj us chok' re a'an nak tâcutek' sa' xchamal li palau chi bac'bo junak nimla pec chixcux.

⁷Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

⁷Tok'ob ruheb li cuanqueb sa' ruchich'och' xban nak cuan c'a' re ru napo'oc re lix ch'ôleb. Ac ch'olch'o nak cuan li c'a'ru napo'oc ch'ôlej. Abanan raylal châlel sa' xbên li ani tâyo'obânk re li c'a' re ru tâpo'ok ch'ôlej.

⁸Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

⁸Cui lâ cuok malaj ut lâ cuuk' tâq'uehok âcue chixbânunquil li c'a'ru inc'a' us, us raj cui tâyoc' ut tâtz'ek. K'axal us chok' âcue nak cuânk lâ yu'am chi junelic riq'uin jun ajcui' lâ cuok ut lâ cuuk' chiru nak tatxic chi cuib lâ cuok chi cuib lâ cuuk' sa' li xbalba bar cui' inc'a' tâchupk li xam.

⁹And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

⁹Cui li xnak' âcuu tâq'uehok âcue chixbânunquil li inc'a' us, us raj cui tâcuisi ut tâtz'ek. K'axal us nak tâcuânk lâ yu'am chi junelic riq'uin jun ajcui' li xnak' âcuu chiru nak tatxic riq'uin cuib li xnak' âcuu sa' li xam re li xbalba.

¹⁰Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

¹⁰Lâin ninye êre cheq'uehak retal mêtz'ektâna junak reheb li k'uneb xch'ôl sa' lix pâbâl xban nak eb a'an c'ac'alenbileb xbaneb li ángel, li cuanqueb riq'uin lin Yucua' cuan sa' choxa.

¹¹For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

¹¹Lâin li C'ajolbej quinc'ulun arin sa' ruchich'och' chixcolbaleb li sachenakeb sa' li mâc.

¹²How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

¹²¿C'a'ru nequec'oxla lâex chirix li na'leb a'in li oc cue xyebal êre? Cuan ta junak li cuînk cuan o'c'âlak xcarner ut cui tâsachk junak reheb, ¿ma inc'a' raj tixcanabeb li belêlaju ro'c'âl chic ut tâxic chiruheb li tzûl chixsic'bal li jun li xsach?

¹³And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

¹³Relic chi yâl tinye êre nak tixtau chak li sachenak, k'axal tâsahok' sa' xch'ôl riq'uin li jun a'an chiruheb li belêlaju ro'c'âl li inc'a' que'sach.

¹⁴Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

¹⁴Jo'can ajcui' lê Yucua' cuan sa' choxa inc'a' naraj nak tâsachk junak reheb li toj k'uneb xch'ôl sa' lix pâbâl.

¹⁵Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

¹⁵Cui junak lâ cuech aj pâbanelil tâmâcobk châcuu, ayu riq'uin ut nak cuânkex êjunes, tâch'olob chiru lix mâc. Ut cui târabi li xna'leb li tâq'ue, lâat xatenk'a lâ cuech aj pâbanelil re nak tixc'am rib sa' usilal âcuiq'uin.

¹⁶But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

¹⁶Cui ut inc'a' naraj nacatrabi, c'am jun malaj cuib li hermân âcuochben re nak riq'uin li râtin cuib oxib chi testigo, tâch'olâk ru chixjunil li âtin.

¹⁷And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

¹⁷Ut cui inc'a' naraj târabiheb a'an, tâye re li iglesia re nak li hermân te'xch'olob xyâlal chiru. Ut cui inc'a' ajcui' naraj abînc chiruheb a'an, a'an chic tâcuânk chêru jo' chanchan li mâcua'ak aj pâbanel ut chanchanak laj titz'ol toj li inc'a' us neque'xbânu.

¹⁸Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

¹⁸Relic chi yâl tinye êre nak chixjunil li c'a'ru têc'ûb ru sa' xyâlal sa' ruchich'och', li Dios tixc'ûb ajcui' ru sa' choxa. Li c'a'ru têye us arin sa' ruchich'och', li Dios tixye ajcui' nak us. Ut li c'a'ru têye inc'a' us, li Dios tixye ajcui' nak inc'a' us.

¹⁹Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

¹⁹Tinye êre cui cuan cuibak sa' êyânk te'xc'ûb ru sa' cuibal chirix c'a'ru te'tijok cui', ut te'xtz'âma chiru lin Yucua' cuan sa' choxa, li c'a'ru te'xtz'âma tâq'uehek' reheb.

²⁰For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

²⁰Yalak bar cuânkeb cuib oxib ch'utch'ûkeb sa' inc'aba', aran ajcui' cuânkin lâin sa' xyânkeb a'an, chan li Jesús.

²¹Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

²¹Ut laj Pedro quiâtinac ut quixye re li Jesús: -Kâcua', ¿jarub sut târûk tincuy xmâc li tâmâcobk chicuu? ¿Ma tento nak cuukub sut tincuy xmâc?-

²²Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

²²Ut li Jesús quixye re: -Inc'a' ninye âcue nak ca'aj cui' cuukub sut tâcuy xmâc. Tinye ban âcue nak tâcuy xmâc cuukub sut chi lajêtk xcâc'âl sut, chan.

²³Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

²³Lix nimajcual cuanquilal li Dios tinjuntak'êta riq'uin jun li rey quixbir rix lix c'aseb laj c'anjel chiru.

²⁴And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

²⁴Nak quixtiquib xbirbal rix lix c'aseb, quic'ame' chak chiru li rey jun li cuînk lajêb mil chi tumin lix c'as.

²⁵But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

²⁵Ut xban nak mâc'a' c'a'ru cuan re li cuînk a'an re tixtoj cui' lix c'as, jo'can nak li rey quixtakla xc'ayinquil a'an rech xxiquic li rixakil, ut li ralal xc'ajol ut chixjunil li c'a'ru cuan re, re xtojbal lix c'as.

²⁶The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

²⁶Ut laj c'anjel a'an quixcuik'ib rib chiru li rey ut quixpatz' xcuybal chiru ut quixye re: -Kâcua', chinâcuy cuan chic ca'ch'inak, ut lâin tintoj chixjunil lin c'as châcuu.-

²⁷Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

²⁷Ut li rey quiril xtok'obâl ru laj c'anjel chiru. Quirach'ab ut quixsach li retalil lix c'as.

²⁸But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

²⁸Ut nak qui-el chak laj c'anjel riq'uin li rey, quixc'ul jun li rech aj c'anjelil cuan junmay chi tumin lix c'as riq'uin li cuînk a'an. Ut laj c'anjel, li quicuye' xmâc, quixchap chi xcux li jun li cuan xc'as riq'uin ut qui-oc chixyatz'bal ut quixye re: -Toj lâ c'as, chan.

²⁹And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

²⁹Ut li rech aj c'anjelil quixcuik'ib rib chiru, quixpatz' xcuybal ut quixye re: -Chinâcuy cuan chic ca'ch'inak ut lâin tintoj ajcui' chixjunil lin c'as, chan re.

³⁰And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

³⁰Abanan li jun inc'a' quiraj xcuybal xmâc. Cô ban ut coxq'ue chak sa' tz'alam toj retal quixtoj rix lix c'as.

³¹So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

³¹Nak eb li rech aj c'anjelil que'ril li c'a'ru quixbânu, c'ajo' nak que'raho' sa' xch'ôl. Ut que'chal cole'xch'olob chiru li rey chixjunil li c'a'ru quic'ulman.

³²Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

³²Tojo'nak quiboke' cui'chic laj c'anjel li quicuye' xmâc xban li rey. Ut li rey quixye re: -At tz'ekbêtal aj c'anjel, chixjunil lâ c'as xinsach retalil xban nak xapatz' âcuybal chicuu.

³³Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

³³¿Ma inc'a' raj xru xatok'oba ru lâ cuech aj c'anjelil jo' nak xintok'oba âcuu lâin? chan.

³⁴And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

³⁴C'ajo' nak quipo' li rey ut quixk'axtesi sa' ruk'eb laj ilol tz'alam toj retal quixtoj chixjunil lix c'as.Ut jo'ca'in ajcui' tixbânu êre lâex lin Yucua' cuan sa' choxa cui inc'a' têcuy xmâqueb lê ras êrîtz'in chi anchal êch'ôl chêjunjûnkalex, chan li Jesús.

³⁵So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

³⁵Ut jo'ca'in ajcui' tixbânu êre lâex lin Yucua' cuan sa' choxa cui inc'a' têcuy xmâqueb lê ras êrîtz'in chi anchal êch'ôl chêjunjûnkalex, chan li Jesús.
