< John 16 >

1 “I have spoken these things to you so that you will not fall away.
Xinbꞌij chiꞌwe ronojel we jastaq riꞌ rech man kakabꞌalaj ta ikꞌuꞌx
2 They will throw you out of the synagogues. But the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think that he is offering a service to God.
Kixesax na bꞌik pa taq ri Sinagoga, xuqujeꞌ kuriq na qꞌij chi ri winaq ri kixkamisanik kubꞌij chi xa tajin kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios.
3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father nor me.
Jeꞌ waꞌ kenoꞌjin na rumal man ketaꞌmam taj uwach ri Tataxel xuqujeꞌ man ketaꞌm taj nuwach in.
4 I have spoken these things to you so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you about these things in the beginning, because I was with you.
Kinbꞌij we jastaq riꞌ chiꞌwe rech are kuriq ri qꞌij kakꞌulmatajik kanaꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi nubꞌim chik chiꞌwe. Man xinbꞌij ta we riꞌ chiꞌwe pa ri majibꞌal rech ronojel jeriꞌ rumal in kꞌo na iwukꞌ.
5 But now I go to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
Chanim kintzalij rukꞌ ri xintaqow loq, maj jun chiꞌwe katow chwe ¿jawjeꞌ keꞌ wi la?
6 But because I have said these things to you, sadness has filled your heart.
Xane sibꞌalaj kixbꞌison chik rumal ri xinbꞌij chiꞌwe.
7 But truly I tell you, it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe: Are utz we kineꞌek, jeriꞌ rumal we man kineꞌek man kape ta riꞌ ri kubꞌisal kuꞌx iwukꞌ, are kꞌu we kineꞌek, keꞌntaqa loq rech kape iwukꞌ.
8 When he comes, the Comforter will prove the world to be wrong about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment—
Are kape ri kubꞌisal kuꞌx, kubꞌan na chi ri winaq aꞌjuwachulew kakichꞌobꞌ ri kimak, ri sukꞌal, xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌatoj tzij.
9 about sin, because they do not believe in me;
Kaketaꞌmaj chi kꞌo kimak rumal man kekojon ta chwe.
10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you will no longer see me;
Kaketaꞌmaj na ri sukꞌal, jeriꞌ rumal in kineꞌek rukꞌ ri nuTat, xuqujeꞌ man kixkwin ta chik kiwil nuwach.
11 and about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
Kaketaꞌmaj na ri qꞌatoj tzij, jeriꞌ rumal ri kabꞌan rech puꞌwiꞌ ri uwachulew xqꞌat taj tzij puꞌwiꞌ.
12 I have many things to say to you, but you would not understand them now.
Kꞌi jastaq na kawaj kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, man kiqꞌiꞌ ta kꞌut we kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chanim.
13 But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak from himself. But he will say whatever he hears, and he will tell you things that are to come.
Are kape ri Uxlabꞌixel rech tunal, kukꞌam na ibꞌe pa ri tunal, jeriꞌ rumal man xaq ta pa rech wi kachꞌawik, xane are kibꞌij ri kutatabꞌej xuqujeꞌ kutzijoj na ri jastaq ri kape na.
14 He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and he will tell it to you.
Areꞌ kuya na nuqꞌij jeriꞌ rumal kukꞌam na ri wech in rech kukꞌut chiꞌwech ix.
15 Everything that the Father has is mine. Therefore, I said that the Spirit will take from what is mine and he will tell it to you.
Ronojel ri kꞌo rukꞌ ri Tataxel, we in. Rumal laꞌ xinbꞌij chi ri Uxlabꞌixel kukꞌam na ri wech in rech kukꞌut chiꞌwach ix.
16 In a short amount of time you will no longer see me, and after another short amount of time you will see me.”
Pa jun janipa qꞌij man kiniwil ta chik, are ikꞌowinaq chi jun janipa qꞌij kiniwil chi na junmul.
17 Then some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, 'A short amount of time you will no longer see me and after another short amount of time you will see me,' and, 'Because I go to the Father'?”
Jujun chike ri utijoxelabꞌ xkibꞌilaꞌ chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: ¿Jas karaj kubꞌij rukꞌ we riꞌ “Pa jun janipa qꞌij man kiniwil ta chik,” kꞌa te riꞌ “Are ikꞌowinaq chi jun janipa qꞌij junmul chik kiniwil na” xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ le “Rumal kineꞌ rukꞌ ri Tataxel”?
18 Therefore they said, “What is this that he says, 'A short amount of time'? We do not know what he is talking about.”
Kakikoj kichuqꞌabꞌ chi retaꞌmaxik ri xubꞌij, kakibꞌila chibꞌil taq kibꞌ ¿jas karaj kubꞌij rukꞌ ri tzij “xaq pa jun janipa qꞌij chik”? Man qetaꞌm taj jas laꞌ le kubꞌij.
19 Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, 'A little while and you will no longer see me, and again a little while and you will see me'?
Ri Jesús xuchꞌobꞌo chi are kakaj kakita we jastaq riꞌ che, rumal riꞌ xubꞌij chike: ¿Tajin kita chibꞌil iwibꞌ jas xwaj xinbꞌij rukꞌ: “Pa jubꞌiqꞌ man kiwil ta chik nuwach, xuqujeꞌ are kikꞌow jun janipa qꞌij kiniwil chi na ri junmul”?
20 Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will be glad. You will become full of sadness, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe: Ri ix kixoqꞌ na rumal ri qꞌoxomal, are kꞌu ri winaq ajuwachulew kekiꞌkot na. Ri ix kixbꞌison na, ri ibꞌis kꞌut kakꞌexkꞌobꞌ na pa kiꞌkotemal.
21 When a woman gives birth she has sadness because her hour has come, but when she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers her pain because of her joy that a man has been born into the world.
Ri ixoq kunaꞌ qꞌoxom are jubꞌiqꞌ karaj kakꞌojiꞌ ri ral, are kakꞌojiꞌ ri ral kasachan che ri qꞌoxom kuchapleꞌj kiꞌkotik rumal cher retaꞌm chi xukꞌam loq jun kꞌakꞌ winaq cho ri uwachulew.
22 So you have sadness now, but I will see you again, and your heart will be glad, and no one will be able to take away your joy from you.
Je xuqujeꞌ kakꞌulmataj iwukꞌ ix. Kixbꞌison chanim, xa kꞌu kixkiꞌkot na are kixinwil chi na junmul, maj kꞌu jun kesan ri kiꞌkotemal riꞌ chiꞌwe.
23 On that day you will not ask me anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
Che ri qꞌij riꞌ maj jun jastaq chik kita chwe. Jeriꞌ rumal qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe ri nuTat kuya na chiꞌwe ronojel ri kita pa ri nubꞌiꞌ.
24 Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask, and you will receive so that your joy will be fulfilled.
Kꞌa kamik maj jun jastaq itom pa ri nubꞌiꞌ. Chitaꞌ rech kikꞌamawaꞌj, rech jeriꞌ katzꞌaqat ri ikiꞌkotemal.
25 I have said these things to you in figures of speech, but the hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but instead I will tell you plainly about the Father.
We jastaq riꞌ xinbꞌij chiꞌwe rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj. Kape kꞌu na ri qꞌotaj are man je ta chi riꞌ kinbꞌan che ichꞌabꞌexik, xane qas kꞌyaqal na kinbꞌan chutzijoxik ri nuTat chiꞌwe.
26 On that day you will ask in my name and I do not say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,
Che ri qꞌij riꞌ kita na jastaq pa ri nubꞌiꞌ, man kinbꞌochiꞌj ta kꞌu na ri Tataxel rech kixutoꞌo.
27 for the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and because you have believed that I came from the Father.
Jeriꞌ, rumal tzi are ri Tataxel kixloqꞌanik rumal xiniloqꞌaj ix xuqujeꞌ xikojo chi che ri Dios nupetik wi.
28 I came from the Father, and I have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and I am going to the Father.”
Nupetik che ri Tataxel are xinpe choch ri uwachulew; chanim kinya kanoq ri uwachulew kintzalij rukꞌ ri Tataxel.
29 His disciples said, “See, now you are speaking plainly and you are not using figures of speech.
Ri tijoxelabꞌ xkibꞌij che: Chanim man patzkuꞌy taj tajin katzijon la, xane qas kꞌyaqalik.
30 Now we know that you know all things, and you do not need anyone to ask you questions. Because of this, we believe that you have come from God.”
Chanim kaqachꞌobꞌo chi qas etaꞌm la ronojel ri jastaq, xuqujeꞌ man rajawaxik taj kaqata che la jas ubꞌanik. Rumal laꞌ kaqakojo chi che ri Dios petinaq wi la.
31 Jesus answered them, “Do you believe now?
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: ¿La kixkojon chwe chanim?
32 See, the hour is coming, yes, and has indeed come, when you will be scattered, everyone to his own home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me.
Kape na ri qꞌotaj, xuqujeꞌ xul waral, are kixtunkin na bꞌik, pa ijujunal kixeꞌ cho taq iwachoch, kiniya kanoq nutukel. Pune jeriꞌ man nutukel taj in kꞌolik, ri Tataxel kꞌo wukꞌ.
33 I have spoken these things to you so that you will have peace in me. In the world you have troubles, but have courage, I have conquered the world.”
Xinbꞌij we jastaq riꞌ chiꞌwe rech kiriq jaꞌmaril rumal we. Kiriq na kꞌax cho ri uwachulew pune jeriꞌ kuꞌl ikꞌuꞌx rumal In xinchꞌeken puꞌwiꞌ ri kwinem rech ri uwachulew.
