< Acts 16 >

1 He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.
Ri Pablo xeꞌ pa ri tinimit Derbe, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌ pa ri tinimit Listra, chilaꞌ kꞌo wi jun ala tijoxel ubꞌiꞌnam Timoteo. Ri unan ri Timoteo jun ixoq kojonel aj Israel, ri utat aj Grecia.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
Ri e kojonelabꞌ ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Listra xuqujeꞌ Iconio ketaꞌm chi utz ri kanoꞌjin ri Timoteo.
3 Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Ri Pablo xusikꞌij bꞌik ri Timoteo rech keꞌ rukꞌ, xa kꞌu nabꞌe xutaqchiꞌj rech kok bꞌi etal che rumal cher kuꞌnimaj ri winaq aꞌj Israel ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit riꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ketaꞌm chi ri utat aj Grecia.
4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
Xebꞌe kꞌu pa ronojel ri tinimit xkiya kꞌutuꞌn chike ri e kojonelabꞌ ri xkinimaj ri kꞌutuꞌn ri xya chike kumal ri uꞌtaqoꞌn ri Ajawxel xuqujeꞌ kumal ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri komontyox ri e kꞌo pa Jerusalén.
5 So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Xaq jeriꞌ xejeqiꞌ pa ri kikojobꞌal, xuqujeꞌ xekꞌiyar ri kojonelabꞌ.
6 When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ ri Dios xubꞌij chike ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas chi man kakitzijoj ta ri utzij ri Dios pa taq ri leꞌaj rech Asia. Jeriꞌ xebꞌe pa Frigia xuqujeꞌ pa Galacia.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
Are xoꞌpan pa ri kꞌulbꞌat rech Misia, xkaj xebꞌe pa Bitinia. Ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Jesús junmul chik man xuya ta bꞌe chike xebꞌe chilaꞌ.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Xiꞌkꞌow kꞌu bꞌik pa ri Misia xeqaj bꞌik pa ri tinimit Troas ri kꞌo chiꞌ ri Plo.
9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”
Che ri chaqꞌabꞌ riꞌ, ri Dios xukꞌut cho ri Pablo chi kꞌo jun achi aj Macedonia ri kꞌo pa Grecia, tajin kusikꞌij loq ri Pablo, kubꞌij: Chatan loq jewaꞌ pa Macedonia, chujulatoꞌ.
10 When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.
Xaq jeriꞌ aninaq xqachomaj xujeꞌ pa ri Macedonia, xqachꞌobꞌo chi ri Dios are karaj kaqatzijoj ri utz laj tzij pa ri tinimit riꞌ.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Xujaqꞌan kꞌu bꞌik pa jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ jaꞌ ri kꞌo pa ri tinimit Troas, xujeꞌ pa ri chꞌaqaꞌp ulew ri sutital rumal jaꞌ ubꞌiꞌnam Samotracia, chukabꞌ qꞌij xujqꞌax pa ri tinimit Neápolis.
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
Are xujopan pa ri tinimit Filipos, jun tinimit ri kꞌo pa Macedonia, kitinimit ri aꞌj Roma, xujkanaj kan chilaꞌ jun janipa qꞌij.
13 On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
Pa ri qꞌij rech uxlanem xujel bꞌik pa ri tinimit, xujeꞌ chuchiꞌ ri nimaꞌ chilaꞌ kakimulij wi kibꞌ nikꞌaj winaq chubꞌanik chꞌawem. Xujtꞌuyiꞌk, xujtzijon kukꞌ nikꞌaj ixoqibꞌ ri kimulim kibꞌ chilaꞌ.
14 A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
Kꞌo kꞌu jun ixoq chikixoꞌl ri winaq ubꞌiꞌ Lidia, aj pa ri tinimit Tiatira. We ixoq riꞌ kꞌayil manta ri paqal taq rajil. Ri Lidia jun qꞌijilaꞌl Dios, are tajin kutatabꞌej ri tzij ri kaqatzijoj, ri Ajawxel xujaq ri ranimaꞌ rech xukꞌamawaꞌj ri tajin kubꞌij ri Pablo.
15 When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
Xbꞌan kꞌu uqasanaꞌ xuqujeꞌ xbꞌan kiqasanaꞌ ri e kꞌo rukꞌ pa ri rachoch. Kꞌa te kꞌu riꞌ xubꞌij chaqe: We kikojo chi qas in kojonel chik che ri Ajawxel, chixanloq wukꞌ pa ri wachoch, xujubꞌochiꞌj rech xujkanaj kan rukꞌ.
16 As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
Jun qꞌijal kꞌut uj bꞌenaq chubꞌanik chꞌawem, xqarik jun ali aj ikꞌ kꞌo jun itzel uxlabꞌal che. Kubꞌij jas keriqitaj ri winaq, kuchꞌek nimalaj pwaq rukꞌ ri kubꞌano kꞌa te riꞌ kuya chike ri rajaw.
17 Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
We ali riꞌ xutereneꞌj bꞌik ri Pablo xuqujeꞌ uj, xuraq uchiꞌ xubꞌij: We achyabꞌ ri e patanil taq rech ri nimalaj Dios e petinaq waral chutzijoxik chiꞌwe jas rajawaxik kibꞌano rech kixkolotajik.
18 She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.
Kꞌi qꞌij jewaꞌ xubꞌan ri ali, xkꞌistaj kꞌu ukꞌuꞌx ri Pablo xubꞌij che ri itzel uxlabꞌal ri kꞌo che ri ali: Pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Jesucristo, chatel bꞌik che we ali riꞌ. Aninaqil xel bꞌik ri itzel uxlabꞌal ri kꞌo che ri ali.
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
Ri e rajaw ri ali are xkilo chi ri ali makuchꞌek ta chi pwaq, xeꞌkichap ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas, xeꞌkijururej, xeꞌkikꞌam bꞌik chikiwach ri e qꞌatal taq tzij ri e kꞌo pa ri kꞌayibꞌal.
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
Xubꞌe kitzujuj, jewaꞌ xkibꞌij: Konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit yakatajinaq koyawal kumal ke we achyabꞌ aꞌj Israel.
21 and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
Kakikꞌut naqꞌatajibꞌal ri man kuya taj kaqabꞌan uj ri uj romanos, man tzij taj ri kakibꞌij.
22 The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Xkimulij kꞌu kibꞌ ri winaq chikij ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas, ri e qꞌatal tzij xetaqan chi resaxik ri katzꞌyaq rech kechꞌayik.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
Sibꞌalaj kꞌi mul xechꞌayik, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkikoj pa cheꞌ. Xkibꞌij che ri chajinel chi utz kubꞌan chikichajixik rech man kaꞌnimaj ta bꞌik.
24 Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
Ri chajinel, xuꞌkoj bꞌik pa ri kꞌolibꞌal jawjeꞌ qas kakiriq wi kꞌax xujatꞌij kan ri kaqan rech man kekwin taj kesalabꞌik.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
Pa ri nikꞌaj aqꞌabꞌ ri Pablo, rachiꞌl ri Silas tajin kakibꞌan chꞌawem xuqujeꞌ kebꞌixon che ri Dios, ri winaq ri e kachiꞌl e kꞌo pa che tajin keꞌkitatabꞌej apanoq.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.
Xaq kꞌa teꞌ xubꞌan jun nimalaj kabꞌraqan ri xusalabꞌaj ri raqan ja rech ri cheꞌ, aninaq xejaqataj ri uchiꞌ. Xtꞌoqopin xuqujeꞌ ri chꞌichꞌ jatꞌibꞌal ke konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri cheꞌ.
27 The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Are xkꞌastaj ri chajinel rech ri cheꞌ e jaqajoj ronojel ri uchiꞌ ja, xresaj kꞌu ri usakꞌibꞌal are xraj xukamisaj ribꞌ, puꞌkꞌuꞌx chi xaꞌnimaj bꞌik konojel ri e kꞌo pa ri cheꞌ.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
Ri Pablo kꞌut ko xuraq uchiꞌ, xubꞌij che: Man kakamisaj ta awibꞌ, qonojel uj uj kꞌo waral.
29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
Ri chajinel rech ri cheꞌ xtaqan chutzijik ri qꞌaqꞌ, aninaq xok bꞌik pa ri cheꞌ kabꞌiribꞌatik xukiꞌ chikiwach ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas.
30 brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
Kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌresaj loq pa ri cheꞌ xuta chike: Achyabꞌ, ¿jas rajawaxik kinbꞌano rech kinkolotajik?
31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas xkibꞌij che: Chatkojon che ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, rech katkolotajik xuqujeꞌ kekolotaj ri e kꞌo awukꞌ pa ri awachoch.
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas xkitzijoj ri utzij ri Dios che ri achi, xuqujeꞌ chike konojel ri e kꞌo pa rachoch.
33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
Che ri aqꞌabꞌ riꞌ ri chajinel rech ri cheꞌ xuchꞌaj ri sokotajik chike ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas. Xbꞌan kꞌu uqasanaꞌ ri achi xuqujeꞌ konojel ri e kꞌo pa rachoch.
34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
Te kꞌu riꞌ xuꞌkꞌam bꞌik ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas cho rachoch, xuꞌtzuqu. Konojel kꞌut xekiꞌkotik rumal xekojon che ri Dios.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
Are xsaqirik, ri e qꞌatal tzij xeꞌkitaq bꞌik jujun e taqoꞌn chubꞌixik che ri chajinel rech ri cheꞌ chi kutzoqopij bꞌik ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas.
36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”
Ri chajinel rech ri cheꞌ xubꞌij che ri Pablo: Ri qꞌatal taq tzij xkitaq loq ubꞌixik chwe chi kixintzoqopij bꞌik. Jix pa jaꞌmaril.
37 But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”
Ri Pablo xubꞌij: Uj uj aj Roma, xujkirapuj chikiwach konojel ri winaq, man nabꞌe ta na xkiqꞌat tzij pa qawiꞌ. Chanim kꞌut are kakaj kujel bꞌik chaꞌwal, man kuya ta ri. Chepet na aꞌreꞌ, jujul kitzoqopij kan rukꞌ kiqꞌabꞌ.
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
Are xkita ri e qꞌatal tzij ri xbꞌix chike kumal ri e taqoꞌn, xkixiꞌj kibꞌ rumal cher xkito chi ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas aꞌj Roma.
39 and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
Xepe kꞌu ri qꞌatal taq tzij, xeꞌkita toqꞌobꞌ chike, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkibꞌochiꞌj rech keꞌl bꞌik pa ri tinimit.
40 They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
Xel kꞌu bꞌik pa ri cheꞌ, xetzalij cho rachoch ri Lidia. Xeꞌkitaqchiꞌj ri kojonelabꞌ, kejeqiꞌk pa ri kikojobꞌal, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌl bꞌik pa ri tinimit.
