< John 10 >

1 “Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe: Ri man kok taj pa ri uchiꞌ ja rech ri korral kech ri chij, xane xa kaqꞌan bꞌik rech kutzukuj rokibꞌal, jun elaqꞌom riꞌ.
2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Ri koꞌk bꞌik pa ri uchiꞌ ja are ajyuqꞌ kech ri chij.
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
Ri chajil rech ri korral kujaq ri korral, xuqujeꞌ ri chij kakita ri uchꞌabꞌal ri ajyuqꞌ. Chi kijujunal kuꞌsikꞌij che ri kibꞌiꞌ rech jeriꞌ keꞌresaj loq pa ri korral.
4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
Are keꞌsataj bꞌik ri e rech, kanabꞌej chikiwach, ri chij kꞌut kakitereneꞌj, rumal cher kakita ri uchꞌabꞌal.
5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
Man kakitereneꞌj ta kꞌu jun we man ketaꞌm uwach, xane xa kaꞌnimaj choch, jeriꞌ rumal man kakita taj uchꞌabꞌal jun ri man ketaꞌm taj uwach.
6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
Ri Jesús xukoj we kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ chikiwach ri winaq, man xkichꞌobꞌ ta kꞌut ri xraj xubꞌij.
7 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
Rumal riꞌ xutzalij ubꞌixik chike: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, In in uchiꞌ ja jawjeꞌ koꞌk wi ri chij.
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
Eleqꞌomabꞌ ri xepe kan nabꞌe chinuwach in. Ri chij kꞌut man xkinimaj taj ri xbꞌix chike kumal.
9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.
In ri in uchiꞌ ja. Ri kok loq pa we uchiꞌ ja riꞌ, kakolotaj na, kasolotaj na, xuqujeꞌ kuriq na utz laj echaꞌ.
10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
Ri elaqꞌom petinaq chubꞌanik elaqꞌ, kamisanik xuqujeꞌ tukinik. Ri in kꞌut in petinaq rech kayaꞌtaj na ikꞌaslemal, jun alik kꞌaslemal.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
In riꞌ ri sibꞌalaj utz ajyuqꞌ. Ri utz laj ajyuqꞌ kuya ri ukꞌaslemal pa kiwiꞌ ri chij.
12 He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
Man are taj ajyuqꞌ ri xwi rayeꞌm tojbꞌal rech, man are taj ajchoqꞌe ri chij. Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri xwiꞌ rayeꞌm tojbꞌal rech, are karilo chi kaqebꞌ loq ri kayoꞌt, kanimaj bꞌik, kuꞌtzaq kan ri chij. Ri kayoꞌt kꞌut kuchapleꞌj ubꞌanik kꞌax chike ri chij rech ketukin bꞌik.
13 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
Ri achi riꞌ kanimaj bꞌik rumal cher retaꞌm chi xwi rayeꞌm ri tojbꞌal rech, man are ta kꞌax ukꞌuꞌx chike ri chij.
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
In riꞌ ri in utz laj ajyuqꞌ, wetaꞌm kiwach ri nuchij, aꞌreꞌ xuqujeꞌ ketaꞌm nuwach in.
15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
Jacha ri Tataxel retaꞌm nuwach in, in xuqujeꞌ wetaꞌm uwach areꞌ xuqujeꞌ kinya ri nukꞌaslemal pa kiwiꞌ ri chij.
16 I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
E kꞌo chi na nikꞌaj e nuchij ri man e kꞌo ta pa we korral riꞌ, rajawaxik kꞌut keꞌnkꞌam na loq waral. Rech jeriꞌ kakita ri nuchꞌabꞌal rech xa jun wokaj chij, xuqujeꞌ xa jun ajyuqꞌ chike konojel.
17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
Rumal kꞌu riꞌ kinuloqꞌaj ri Tataxel: Jeriꞌ rumal kinjach ri nukꞌaslemal, rech jeriꞌ kinkwinik kinkꞌam chi na junmul.
18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”
Maj jun kakwinik kesan ri nukꞌaslemal, xane in pa wanimaꞌ kape wi chi kinyaꞌo. Kꞌo nukwinem chujachik ri nukꞌaslemal xuqujeꞌ chukꞌamik chi junmul. Are waꞌ ri taqanik ri xinkꞌamawaꞌj che ri nuTat.
19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
Are xkita ri winaq aꞌj Israel we tzij riꞌ, xkichapleꞌj ujachik kibꞌ.
20 Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
E kꞌi chike ri winaq xkibꞌij: Xa kꞌo jun itzel uxlabꞌal che xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj kon. ¿Jas che kitatabꞌej koq?
21 Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
E kꞌo chi nikꞌaj xkibꞌij: We tzij riꞌ man rech taj jun winaq ri kꞌo itzel uxlabꞌal che. ¿La kꞌo ta kꞌu jun riꞌ ri kꞌo itzel uxlabꞌal che kujaq kibꞌoqꞌoch ri e moyabꞌ?
22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ tajin kikꞌowisax ri nimaqꞌij rech naꞌtabꞌal rech ri tzujuꞌnijik rech ri templo, pa taq ri qꞌalaj.
23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
Ri Jesús kawaꞌkat pa ri Templo, chuxukut ri raqan ja rech ri Salomón.
24 The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
Xepe kꞌu ri winaq aꞌj Israel, xkimulij kibꞌ chrij, xkita che: ¿Kꞌa jampaꞌ kattaniꞌk chubꞌanik kꞌax che ri qanimaꞌ? Chabꞌij chaqe wa qas at at Cristo.
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Nubꞌim chik chiꞌwe, man kikoj ta kꞌut. Are kinqꞌalajisan ri jastaq ri kinbꞌan pa ubꞌiꞌ ri nuTat.
26 But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
Ix man kixkojon ta chwe, jeriꞌ rumal man ix kachiꞌl taj ri nuchij.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Ri e nuchij kakita ri nuchꞌabꞌal. In wetaꞌm kiwach xuqujeꞌ kinkitereneꞌj.
28 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
In kinya kikꞌaslemal ri maj ukꞌisik, man kasach ta kꞌu kiwach, xuqujeꞌ maj jun kakwin chkesaxik pa nuqꞌabꞌ. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
29 My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
Ri nuTat ri yoꞌwinaq chwe, are sibꞌalaj nim chikiwach konojel. Maj kꞌu jun keꞌsan pa ri uqꞌabꞌ ri Tataxel.
30 I and the Father are one.”
Ri in xuqujeꞌ ri Tataxel xa jun qaꞌnik.
31 Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Junmul chik xkisikꞌ abꞌaj ri winaq aꞌj Israel rech kakikoj che ri Jesús.
32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Nubꞌanom sibꞌalaj kꞌi utz taq chak ri petinaq che ri Tataxel. ¿Jachike rumal ri nubꞌanom kiwaj kinibꞌan che abꞌaj?
33 The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
Ri winaq aꞌj Israel xkibꞌij che: Man katqabꞌan taj che abꞌaj rumal jun chike ri chak abꞌanom xane rumal ri awas ri kabꞌij. Jeriꞌ rumal at achi uloq kabꞌij chi at Dios.
34 Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: ¿La man kꞌu tzꞌibꞌatal pa ri itaqanik: In nubꞌim chi ix ix dioses?
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
We are ri Dios xubꞌij “dioses” chike ri winaq ri xya wi ri tzij (man kuya taj kaqꞌipix ri tzꞌibꞌatalik).
36 do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
¿Jas che kibꞌij chi awas ri xubꞌij ri xqꞌat rumal ri Dios, kꞌa te riꞌ xtaq loq choch ri uwachulew? ¿La xa kꞌu rumal xubꞌij: In in Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios?
37 If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
Man kinikoj taj we man kinbꞌan ri uchak ri nuTat.
38 But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
We kꞌu are tajin kinbꞌan ri karaj ri nuTat, chikojo ri nuchak ri tajin kinbꞌano rech jeriꞌ kichꞌobꞌo chi ri Tataxel kꞌo pa in xuqujeꞌ in in kꞌo pa ri Tataxel.
39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
Junmul chik xkaj xkichap bꞌik, ri Jesús kꞌut xresaj bꞌik ribꞌ pa kiqꞌabꞌ.
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
Xtzalij ri Jesús chꞌaqaꞌp che ri Jordán, chilaꞌ jawjeꞌ xubꞌan wi qasanaꞌ ri Juan; xkanaj kꞌu kan chilaꞌ.
41 Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
E kꞌi winaq xoꞌpan rukꞌ, xkibꞌij che: Pune maj jun kꞌutbꞌal xubꞌan ri Juan, ronojel kꞌu ri xubꞌij chirij we achi riꞌ qas tzij wi.
42 Many believed in him there.
E kꞌi winaq ri keꞌl chilaꞌ xekojon che ri Jesús.
