Juan 15
1 In riꞌ ri qas in ucheꞌal ri uvas, ri nuTat are kachakun ri ulew.
"I am the Vine--the True Vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser.
2 Ri uqꞌabꞌ ri ucheꞌal ri uvas we man kuya uwach, kasakꞌix bꞌik. Are kꞌu ri uqꞌabꞌ ri cheꞌ ri kuya uwach, kachꞌajchꞌobꞌexik rech kꞌi uwach kuyaꞌo.
Every branch in me--if it bears no fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Ri ix ixchꞌajchꞌoj chik rumal ri tzij ri xintzijoj chiꞌwe.
Already you are cleansed--through the teaching which I have given you.
4 Chixkꞌol chwe in, rech in kinkꞌojiꞌ chiꞌwe ix. Jetaq ri uqꞌabꞌ ri cheꞌ man kakwin taj kawachinik xaq pa rech wi, xane rajawaxik kakꞌojiꞌ che ri ucheꞌal ri uvas, je xuqujeꞌ ix man kixkwin taj kixwachinik we man kixkꞌojiꞌ chwe in.
Continue in me, and let me continue in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself--that is, if it does not continue in the vine--so neither can you if you do not continue in me.
5 In riꞌ ri in ucheꞌal ri uvas, ix ix uqꞌabꞌ. Ri kakꞌojiꞌ chwe in, xuqujeꞌ in che areꞌ, sibꞌalaj kꞌi na uwach kuyaꞌo. Maj kixkwinik kibꞌano we man kixkꞌojiꞌ chwe.
I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who continues in me and in whom I continue bears abundant fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 Ri man kakꞌojiꞌ ta chwe in ketzelax uwach xuqujeꞌ kachaqiꞌjarik, jetaq ri uqꞌabꞌ taq cheꞌ ri kamulix bꞌik rech keꞌkꞌyaq kan pa ri qꞌaqꞌ kaporoxik.
If any one does not continue in me, he is like the unfruitful branch which is at once thrown away and then withers up. Such branches they gather up and throw into the fire and they are burned.
7 We kixjeqiꞌ chwe in xuqujeꞌ kajeqiꞌ ri nutzij pa iwanimaꞌ, xapakux ri kito kayaꞌtaj na chiꞌwe.
"If you continue in me and my sayings continue in you, ask what you will and it shall be done for you.
8 Kaqꞌijilaꞌtaj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri nuTat are sibꞌalaj kixwachinik xuqujeꞌ kikꞌutu chi ix nutijoxelabꞌ.
By this is God glorified--by your bearing abundant fruit and thus being true disciples of mine.
9 Ix nuloqꞌam jetaq ri ubꞌanom ri nuTat chinuloqꞌaxik. Chixjeqel pa ri nuloqꞌanik.
As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you: continue in my love.
10 We kinimaj ri nutaqanik, kixkꞌojiꞌ riꞌ pa ri nuloqꞌanik, jetaq ri in nunimam ri uꞌtaqanik ri nuTat xuqujeꞌ in kꞌo pa ri uloqꞌanik.
If you obey my commands, you will continue in my love, as I have obeyed my Father's commands and continue in His love.
11 Nubꞌim we riꞌ chiꞌwe rech jeriꞌ kikꞌamawaꞌj ri nukiꞌkotemal xuqujeꞌ katzꞌaqat ri ikiꞌkotemal.
"These things I have spoken to you in order that I may have joy in you, and that your joy may become perfect.
12 Are waꞌ ri nutaqanik: Chiloqꞌaj iwibꞌ chibꞌil taq iwibꞌ, jetaq ri nubꞌanom in chiꞌloqꞌaxik.
This is my commandment to you, to love one another as I have loved you.
13 Man kꞌo taj jun nimalaj loqꞌanik choch ri uyaꞌik ukꞌaslemal jun pa kiwiꞌ ri e rech taq chꞌabꞌeꞌn.
No one has greater love than this--a man laying down his life for his friends.
14 Ix qas ix wech chꞌabꞌeꞌn wi we kinbꞌan ri kixintaq wi.
You are my friends, if you do what I command you.
15 Man kinbꞌij ta chik patanil we chiꞌwe, jeriꞌ rumal ri patanijel man retaꞌm taj jas kubꞌan ri rajaw. Nubꞌim chi ix wech chꞌabꞌeꞌn, jeriꞌ rumal ronojel ri xinto xubꞌij ri nuTat chwe, xinbꞌij chiꞌwe.
No longer do I call you servants, because a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all that I have heard from the Father I have made known to you.
16 Man ix taj xinichaꞌo, xane in xixinchaꞌo xuqujeꞌ xinya itaqkil rech kixeꞌek xuqujeꞌ kixwachinik, xuqujeꞌ qas kixjeqiꞌk. Jeriꞌ kuya na ri Tataxel ronojel ri kita che pa ri nubꞌiꞌ.
It is not you who chose me, but it is I who chose you and appointed you that you might go and be fruitful and that your fruit might remain; so that whatever petition you present to the Father in my name He may give you.
17 Ri nutaqanik are chi kiloqꞌaj iwibꞌ chibꞌil taq iwibꞌ.
"Thus I command you to love one another.
18 We kixketzelaj ri winaq aꞌjuwachulew, naꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi in riꞌ xinketzelaj.
If the world hates you, remember that it has first had me as the fixed object of its hatred.
19 We ta ix aꞌjuwachulew, kixkiloqꞌaj riꞌ ri winaq aꞌjuwachulew jetaq kakibꞌan chuloqꞌaxik ri e kachiꞌl. Man ix ajuwachulew ta kꞌut rumal cher in xixinchaꞌo chikixoꞌl ri winaq ajuwachulew. Rumal riꞌ kaketzelaj iwach.
If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own property. But because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world--for that reason the world hates you.
20 Naꞌtaj chiꞌwe ri xinbꞌij chiꞌwe: Man kꞌo ta jun patanijel nim uqꞌij cho ri rajaw. We bꞌantal kꞌax chwe in, ix xuqujeꞌ kabꞌan na kꞌax chiꞌwe. We inimam ri na kꞌutuꞌn, kanimax xuqujeꞌ na ri ikꞌutuꞌn ix.
Bear in mind what I said to you, 'A servant is not superior to his master.' If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
21 Kakibꞌan kꞌax ri chiꞌwe rumal rech ri nubꞌiꞌ, jeriꞌ rumal man ketaꞌm taj jachin xintaqow loq.
But they will inflict all this suffering upon you on account of your bearing my name--because they do not know Him who sent me.
22 We ta mat xinpetik xuqujeꞌ mat xinultzijon kukꞌ, man aꞌjmakibꞌ ta riꞌ. Chanim kꞌut man kuya taj kakibꞌij chi maj kimak.
"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have had no sin; but as the case stands they are without excuse for their sin.
23 Jachin ri karetzelaj nuwach in, karetzelaj xuqujeꞌ uwach ri xintaqow loq.
He who hates me hates my Father also.
24 We ta mat xinbꞌan ri mayijabꞌal taq jastaq ri man kꞌo ta winaq bꞌanowinaq chkixoꞌl, mat kꞌo ki kimak we winaq riꞌ. Chanim kꞌut pune kilom chik we riꞌ, kaketzelaj nuwach xuqujeꞌ kaketzelaj uwach ri nuTat.
If I had not done among them, as I have, such miracles as no one else ever did, they would have had no sin; but they have in fact seen and also hated both me and my Father.
25 Xkꞌulmataj kꞌu we jastaq riꞌ rech kakꞌulmataj ri tzꞌibꞌatal pa ri kitaqanik kubꞌij: Pune maj numak, xinketzelaj.
But this has been so, in order that the saying may be fulfilled which stands written in their Law, 'They have hated me without any reason.'
26 Are kape ri Kubꞌisal kꞌuꞌx, ri kintaq na loq, ri kape rukꞌ ri Tataxel, ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel rech tunal, ri kape rukꞌ ri Tataxel, areꞌ kuqꞌalajisaj na ri nubꞌiꞌ.
"When the Advocate is come whom I will send to you from the Father's presence--the Spirit of Truth who comes forth from the Father's presence--He will be a witness concerning me.
27 Ri ix xuqujeꞌ kiqꞌalajisaj na in jachinaq jeriꞌ rumal ixkꞌolinaq wukꞌ are xmajtaj loq ronojel.
And you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the first.
