< John 7 >

1 After these things Jesus traveled about in Galilee, for he did not want to go into Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
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 Now the Jewish Festival of Shelters was near.
Kꞌa karaj kꞌu na jun janipa qꞌij che ri nimaqꞌij kech ri winaq aꞌj Israel ubꞌiꞌnam Tabernáculos.
3 His brothers therefore said to him, “Leave this place and go to Judea, so that your disciples also may see the works that you do.
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 No one does anything in secret if he himself wants to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself 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 Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
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 hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil.
Ri ix maj rumal kixketzelaj ri winaq, ri in kꞌut kinketzelaj rumal cher kinqꞌalajisaj chi man utz taj ri kakibꞌano.
8 You go up to the festival; I am not going to this festival because my time has not yet been fulfilled.”
Jix ix pa ri nimaqꞌij, ri in man kineꞌ ta na waꞌ, rumal cher majaꞌ kuriq nuqꞌijal.
9 After he said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
Are xbꞌiꞌtaj we jastaq riꞌ rumal, xkanaj kanoq pa Galilea.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up, not publicly but in secret.
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 said, “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 There was much discussion among the crowds about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “No, he leads the crowds 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 Yet no one spoke openly 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 When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach.
Ri Jesús xrayeꞌj na xnikꞌajar ri nimaqꞌij kꞌa te riꞌ xpaqiꞌ pa ri Templo chuyaꞌik kꞌutuꞌn.
15 Then the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this man know so much? He has never been educated.”
Ri winaq aꞌj Israel xemayijanik xkibꞌij: We achi ri man xeꞌ taj pa etaꞌmanik, ¿jawjeꞌ kꞌut xukꞌamawaꞌj wi nimalaj etaꞌmabꞌal?
16 Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not mine, but is of him who sent me.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri nukꞌutuꞌn man wech taj in, xane rech ri xintaqow loq.
17 If anyone wishes to do his will, he will know about this teaching, whether it comes from God, or whether I speak from myself.
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 Whoever speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but whoever seeks the glory of him who sent him, that person is true, and there is no unrighteousness 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 Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?”
¿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 The crowd answered, “You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?”
Ri winaq xkibꞌij che: ¿Jachin le karaj katkamisanik? Jun itzel riꞌ kꞌo chawe.
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Xixmayijan ya che ri jun mayijabꞌal jastaq ri xinbꞌano.
22 Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the ancestors), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.
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 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the 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 according to appearance, but judge righteously.”
Man kiqꞌat ta tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq rumal ri kekaꞌyik xane qas chibꞌana ri qꞌatoj tzij rukꞌ sukꞌal.
25 Some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is not this the one they seek to kill?
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun chike ri winaq ri keꞌl pa Jerusalén xkibꞌij: ¿La man kꞌu are waꞌ ri achi ri kakaj kakikamisaj?
26 See, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. It cannot be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ, can it?
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 one is from. But when the Christ comes, no one will know 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 Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me and know where I come from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, and you do not know him.
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 know him because I come from him and he sent me.”
Ri in kꞌut wetaꞌm uwach rumal in che areꞌ in petinaq wi, xuqujeꞌ Areꞌ xintaqow loq.
30 They were trying to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.
Ri winaq kꞌut xkaj xkichapo, pune jeriꞌ man kꞌo ta jun xchapowik rumal majaꞌ kuriq ri uqꞌijal.
31 But many in the crowd believed in him, and they said, “When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than what this one has done?”
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 crowds whispering these things about Jesus, and 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 Jesus then said, “I am still with you for a short amount of time, and then I go 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 seek me but you will not find me; where I go, you will not be able to come.”
Kinitzukuj na, man kiniriq ta kꞌut, jeriꞌ rumal man kixkwin taj kixopanik jawjeꞌ ri kineꞌ wi.
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we will not be able to find him? Will he go to the dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
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 is this word that he said, 'You will seek me but will not find me; where I go, you will not be able to come'?”
¿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 Now on the last, great day of the festival, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, 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 He who believes in me, just as the scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from his stomach.”
Ri kakojon chwe in jetaq ri kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kabꞌin na nimaꞌ rech kꞌaslemal che.
39 But he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him would receive; the Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus was not yet glorified.
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 Some of the crowd, when they heard these words, said, “This is indeed the prophet.”
Are xkita ri winaq ri xubꞌij, jujun chike xkibꞌij: Qas tzij wi we achi riꞌ are Qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios.
41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Does the Christ come from Galilee?
E nikꞌaj chik xkibꞌij: “Are waꞌ ri Cristo,” e kꞌo xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj chik xkibꞌij “¿La pa Galilea kꞌut kape wi ri Cristo?
42 Have the scriptures not said that the Christ will come from the descendants of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
¿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 arose a division in the crowds because of him.
Xkiqꞌat kꞌu kibꞌ ri winaq rumal rech ri Jesús.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
E kꞌo jujun chike ri winaq xkaj xkichapo, pune jeriꞌ man kꞌo ta kꞌu jun xutzaq uqꞌabꞌ chirij ri Jesús.
45 Then the officers came back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring 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 The officers answered, “Never has anyone spoken like this.”
Ri chajinelabꞌ xkibꞌij: ¡Man kꞌo ta jun achi qatom je laꞌ katzijonik!
47 So the Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?
Ri fariseos xkibꞌij chike: ¿La xixumenkꞌetij xuqujeꞌ ix?
48 Have any of the rulers 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 But this crowd that does 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 Nicodemus (one of the Pharisees, who came to him earlier) said to them,
Ri Nicodemo, jun chike ri fariseos, tzijoninaq kan rukꞌ ri Jesús nabꞌe, xubꞌij:
51 “Does our law judge a man before hearing from him and knowing what he does?”
¿La kuqꞌat kꞌu tzij ri qataqanik puꞌwiꞌ jun achi we man nabꞌe kutatabꞌej xuqujeꞌ kusol rij jas ri kubꞌano?
52 They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet comes from 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 [Then everyone went to his own house.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xebꞌe kojonel cho kachoch.
