John 7
1 After this, Jesus went about in Galilee, for he would not do so in Judea, because the Jews were eager to put him to death.
Are ikꞌowinaq chik jun janipa qꞌij, ri Jesús kabꞌin pa Galilea. Maj jas kubꞌij ukꞌuꞌx keꞌ pa Judea, jeriꞌ rumal ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe kech ri winaq aꞌj Israel kakaj kakikamisaj.
2 When the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,
Kꞌa karaj kꞌu na jun janipa qꞌij che ri nimaqꞌij kech ri winaq aꞌj Israel ubꞌiꞌnam Tabernáculos.
3 his brothers said to him: “Leave this part of the country, and go into Judea, so that your disciples, as well as we, may see the work that you are doing.
Xaq jeriꞌ ri e rachalal ri Jesús xkibꞌij che: Rajawaxik laꞌ katel bꞌik waral kateꞌ pa Judea, rech jeriꞌ kakil ri utz taq achak ri atijoxelabꞌ.
4 For no one does a thing privately, if he is seeking to be widely known. Since you do these things, you should show yourself publicly to the world.”
Jeriꞌ rumal xapachin karaj kukꞌut ri kubꞌano chikiwach ri winaq man kuya taj kubꞌan ri jastaq xaq pa awal, xane kuya bꞌe chike konojel ri winaq kakil ri kubꞌano.
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Qas tzij wiꞌ chi xa ta ne ri rachalal ri Jesús kekojon che.
6 “My time,” answered Jesus, “is not come yet, but your time is always here.
Rumal riꞌ ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Qas tzij wi laꞌ chi ronojel qꞌij utz chiꞌwe ix, ri in kꞌut majaꞌ kuriq nuqꞌijal.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it does hate me, because I testify that its ways are evil.
Ri ix maj rumal kixketzelaj ri winaq, ri in kꞌut kinketzelaj rumal cher kinqꞌalajisaj chi man utz taj ri kakibꞌano.
8 Go yourselves up to the Festival; I am not going to this Festival yet, because my time has not yet come.”
Jix ix pa ri nimaqꞌij, ri in man kineꞌ ta na waꞌ, rumal cher majaꞌ kuriq nuqꞌijal.
9 After telling them this, he stayed on in Galilee.
Are xbꞌiꞌtaj we jastaq riꞌ rumal, xkanaj kanoq pa Galilea.
10 But, when his brothers had gone up to the Festival, Jesus also went up — not publicly, but privately.
Are e bꞌenaq chi ri rachalal pa ri nimaqꞌij, xeꞌ xuqujeꞌ areꞌ, man xukꞌututej ta kꞌu ribꞌ xane xaq pa awal xeꞌek.
11 The Jews were looking for him at the Festival and asking ‘Where is he?’;
Ri e kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri winaq aꞌj Israel xkitzukuj ri Jesús pa ri nimaqꞌij, kakibꞌij chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: ¿Jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi?
12 and there were many whispers about him among the people, some saying ‘He is a good man;’ others: ‘No! he is leading the people astray.’
Kꞌi jastaq xkibꞌij ri winaq che. E kꞌi xkibꞌij chi jun utz achi, e kꞌo chi nikꞌaj xkibꞌij chi xaq kuꞌmenkꞌetij ri winaq.
13 No one, however, spoke freely about him, for fear of the Jews.
Man kꞌo ta kꞌu jun chike ri winaq qas xubꞌij ri kꞌo pa ranimaꞌ, jeriꞌ rumal xkixiꞌj kibꞌ chikiwach ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe.
14 About the middle of the Festival week, Jesus went up into the Temple Courts, and began teaching.
Ri Jesús xrayeꞌj na xnikꞌajar ri nimaqꞌij kꞌa te riꞌ xpaqiꞌ pa ri Templo chuyaꞌik kꞌutuꞌn.
15 The Jews were astonished. “How has this man got his learning,” they asked, “when he has never studied?”
Ri winaq aꞌj Israel xemayijanik xkibꞌij: We achi ri man xeꞌ taj pa etaꞌmanik, ¿jawjeꞌ kꞌut xukꞌamawaꞌj wi nimalaj etaꞌmabꞌal?
16 So, in reply, Jesus said: “My teaching is not my own; it is his who sent me.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri nukꞌutuꞌn man wech taj in, xane rech ri xintaqow loq.
17 If any one has the will to do God’s will, he will find out whether my teaching is from God, or whether I speak on my own authority.
Ri qas karaj kubꞌan ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri nuTat chuchꞌobꞌo we ri nukꞌutuꞌn kape rukꞌ ri Dios o xaq pa we wi kinbꞌij we jastaq riꞌ.
18 The man who speaks on his own authority seeks honour for himself; but the man who seeks the honour of him that sent him is sincere, and there is nothing false in him.
Ri winaq ri xaq pa rech wi katzijonik, xaq are riꞌ kuya uqꞌij ribꞌ. Are kꞌu ri karaj kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri xtaqow loq, jun winaq sukꞌ ranimaꞌ riꞌ xuqujeꞌ qas tzꞌaqat.
19 Was not it Moses who gave you the Law? Yet not one of you obeys it! Why are you seeking to put me to death?”
¿La man kꞌu xuya ri taqanik ri Moisés chiꞌwe ix? Pune jeriꞌ maj jun chiꞌwe kubꞌan ri kubꞌij ri taqanik. ¿Jas kꞌu che kiwaj kinikamisaj?
20 “You must be possessed by a demon!” the people exclaimed. “Who is seeking to put you to death?”
Ri winaq xkibꞌij che: ¿Jachin le karaj katkamisanik? Jun itzel riꞌ kꞌo chawe.
21 “There was one thing I did,” replied Jesus, “at which you are all still wondering.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Xixmayijan ya che ri jun mayijabꞌal jastaq ri xinbꞌano.
22 “Is he going to kill himself,” the Jews exclaimed, “that he says — ‘You cannot go where I am going’?”
Rumal riꞌ ri Moisés xixutaq chukojik ri retal ri ojer chꞌekom tzij pa ri ityoꞌjal, qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, man are taj ri Moisés xixtaqow che we jastaq riꞌ, xane are ri itat inan ojer, kamik kꞌut xaq jeꞌ kakibꞌan ri winaq pune pa ri qꞌij rech uxlanem kakibꞌano.
23 When a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath to prevent the Law of Moses from being broken, how can you be angry with me for making a man sound and well on a Sabbath?
Kamik kꞌut, we kakoj ri etal rech chꞌekom tzij che jun achi pa ri qꞌij rech uxlanem, ¿jas kꞌu che kixyojtaj chwij we kinkunaj in jun winaq pa ri qꞌij rech uxlanem?
24 Do not judge by appearances; judge justly.”
Man kiqꞌat ta tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq rumal ri kekaꞌyik xane qas chibꞌana ri qꞌatoj tzij rukꞌ sukꞌal.
25 At this some of the people of Jerusalem exclaimed: “Is not this the man that they are seeking to put to death?
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun chike ri winaq ri keꞌl pa Jerusalén xkibꞌij: ¿La man kꞌu are waꞌ ri achi ri kakaj kakikamisaj?
26 Yet here he is, speaking out boldly, and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that our leading men have really discovered that he is the Christ?
Leꞌ tajin katzijon chik junmul man kꞌo ta ya jun kabꞌin tzij che. ¿La xa ta kꞌu xkichꞌobꞌ le kꞌamal taq bꞌe chi qas are Cristo?
27 Yet we know where this man is from; but, when the Christ comes, no one will be able to tell where he is from.”
Qetaꞌm uj jawjeꞌ upetik wi we achi riꞌ, we kꞌu xpe ri Cristo maj jun riꞌ ketaꞌmanik jawjeꞌ upetik wi.
28 Therefore, Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple Courts, raised his voice and said: “Yes; you know me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own authority, but he who sent me may be trusted; and him you do not know.
Ri Jesús are kꞌo pa ri Templo, tajin kuya kꞌutuꞌn xubꞌij: Ri ix kibꞌij chi iwetaꞌm nuwach xuqujeꞌ iwetaꞌm jawjeꞌ nupetik wi. Man xinpe taj xaq pa we wi xane kꞌo jun xintaqow loq ri qas kuꞌl na kꞌuꞌx chirij, man iwetaꞌm ta kꞌu uwach ix.
29 I do know him, for it is from him that I have come, and he sent me as his Messenger.”
Ri in kꞌut wetaꞌm uwach rumal in che areꞌ in petinaq wi, xuqujeꞌ Areꞌ xintaqow loq.
30 So they sought to arrest him; but no one touched him, for his time was not come yet.
Ri winaq kꞌut xkaj xkichapo, pune jeriꞌ man kꞌo ta jun xchapowik rumal majaꞌ kuriq ri uqꞌijal.
31 Many of the people, however, believed in him. “When the Christ comes,” they said, “will he give more signs of his mission than this man has given?”
Pune jeriꞌ xbꞌix che ri Jesús, e kꞌi chike ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri Templo xekojon che xuqujeꞌ xkibꞌij: Are kape ri Cristo, ¿la kubꞌan ta kꞌu nimaq taq kꞌutbꞌal cho we kubꞌan we achi riꞌ?
32 The Pharisees heard the people whispering about him in this way, and so the Chief Priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him;
Are xkita ri e fariseos xuqujeꞌ ri e kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios ri kakibꞌij ri winaq che ri Jesús, xeꞌkitaq bꞌik nikꞌaj ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ e chajil taq rech ri Templo rech keꞌkichapa loq.
33 on which Jesus said: “I shall be with you but a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike ri winaq: Kinkꞌojiꞌ chi na jubꞌiqꞌ iwukꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ kintzalij rukꞌ ri xintaqow loq.
34 You will look for me, and you will not find me; and you will not be able to come where I shall be.”
Kinitzukuj na, man kiniriq ta kꞌut, jeriꞌ rumal man kixkwin taj kixopanik jawjeꞌ ri kineꞌ wi.
35 “Where is this man going,” the Jews asked one another, “that we shall not find him? Will he go to our countrymen abroad, and teach foreigners?
Ri winaq aꞌj Israel xkitatabꞌelaꞌ chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: ¿Jawjeꞌ ta kꞌu keꞌ wi che ri man keꞌqariqa taj? ¿La xa ta kꞌu keꞌ kukꞌ ri qawinaqil ri e tukininaq bꞌik, rech kuꞌya kꞌutuꞌn kukꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Grecia?
36 What does he mean by saying ‘You will look for me, and you will not find me; and you will not be able to come where I shall be’?”
¿Jas ta kꞌu xraj xubꞌij rukꞌ ri utzij: “Kinitzukuj na, man kiniriq ta kꞌut xuqujeꞌ man kixkwin taj kixopanik jawjeꞌ ri kineꞌ wi in”?
37 On the last and greatest day of the Festival, Jesus, who was standing by, exclaimed: “If any one thirsts, let him come to me, and drink.
Pa ri kꞌisbꞌal qꞌij rech ri nimaqꞌij, are waꞌ ri qꞌij ri sibꞌalaj nim ubꞌanik, ri Jesús xtakꞌiꞌ aqꞌanoq chkixoꞌl ri winaq, xubꞌij: We kꞌo jun kachaqiꞌj uchiꞌ, peta wukꞌ, qumunoq.
38 I tell you what I have myself seen in the presence of my Father; and you, in the same way, do what you have learned from your father.”
Ri kakojon chwe in jetaq ri kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kabꞌin na nimaꞌ rech kꞌaslemal che.
39 (By this he meant the Spirit, which those who had believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been exalted.)
Rukꞌ we riꞌ xuya ubꞌixik chi ri kekojon che kakikꞌamawaꞌj na ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel. Che ri qꞌij riꞌ majaꞌ kayaꞌtaj ri Uxlabꞌixel chike ri winaq jeriꞌ rumal majaꞌ katzalitaj ri ujuluwem ri Jesús.
40 But, as it is, you are seeking to put me to death — a man who has told you the Truth as he heard it from God. Abraham did not act in that way.
Are xkita ri winaq ri xubꞌij, jujun chike xkibꞌij: Qas tzij wi we achi riꞌ are Qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios.
41 You are doing what your own father does.” “We are not bastards,” they said, “we have one Father — God himself.”
E nikꞌaj chik xkibꞌij: “Are waꞌ ri Cristo,” e kꞌo xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj chik xkibꞌij “¿La pa Galilea kꞌut kape wi ri Cristo?
42 Is not it said in Scripture that it is of the race of David, and from Bethlehem, the village to which David belonged, that the Christ is to come?”
¿La man kꞌu kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik chi ri Cristo jun na chike ri Rijaꞌl ri David, xuqujeꞌ je laꞌ kape na pa ri tinimit Belén?”
43 So there was a sharp division among the people on account of Jesus.
Xkiqꞌat kꞌu kibꞌ ri winaq rumal rech ri Jesús.
44 Some of them wanted to arrest him, and yet no one touched him.
E kꞌo jujun chike ri winaq xkaj xkichapo, pune jeriꞌ man kꞌo ta kꞌu jun xutzaq uqꞌabꞌ chirij ri Jesús.
45 When the officers returned to the Chief Priests and Pharisees, they were asked: “Why have you not brought him?”
Ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ e chajil taq rech ri Templo are xetzalij kukꞌ ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe e kachiꞌl ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios, xta chike: ¿Jas che man xikꞌam ta loq ri Jesús?
46 “No man ever spoke as he speaks!” they answered.
Ri chajinelabꞌ xkibꞌij: ¡Man kꞌo ta jun achi qatom je laꞌ katzijonik!
47 “What! Have you been led astray too?” the Pharisees replied.
Ri fariseos xkibꞌij chike: ¿La xixumenkꞌetij xuqujeꞌ ix?
48 “Have any of our leading men believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
¿La kꞌo jun chike ri e qꞌatal taq tzij o jun chike ri fariseos kojoninaq che we achi riꞌ?
49 As for these people who do not know the Law — they are cursed!
¡Man kꞌo taj! Are kꞌu we winaq ri man ketaꞌm taj ri taqanik, e kꞌo riꞌ chuxeꞌ ri etzelal.
50 But one of their number, Nicodemus, who before this had been to see Jesus, said to them:
Ri Nicodemo, jun chike ri fariseos, tzijoninaq kan rukꞌ ri Jesús nabꞌe, xubꞌij:
51 “Does our Law pass judgment on a man without first giving him a hearing, and finding out what he has been doing?”
¿La kuqꞌat kꞌu tzij ri qataqanik puꞌwiꞌ jun achi we man nabꞌe kutatabꞌej xuqujeꞌ kusol rij jas ri kubꞌano?
52 “Are you also from Galilee?” they retorted. “Search, and you will find that no Prophet is to arise in Galilee!”
Ri e rachiꞌl fariseos xkibꞌij che: ¿La man kꞌu at aj Galilea at? Chasolijampe rij rech kawilo chi man kꞌo ta jun qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios ri kape je laꞌ pa Galilea.
53 And every one went home
Kꞌa te riꞌ xebꞌe kojonel cho kachoch.
