¹Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.

¹Jun li cuînk aj Lázaro xc'aba' quiyajer. Betania xtenamit. Ut aran ajcui' cuanqueb li ranab cuib, lix Marta ut lix María.

²It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.

²(Lix María, a'an li quiq'uehoc re li sununquil ban chiru rok li Jesús ut quixmes riq'uin rismal xjolom.)

³The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”

³Eb li ranab que'xtakla xyebal re li Jesús: -Kâcua', laj Lázaro li nacara yaj.

⁴But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”

⁴Li Jesús quirabi nak yaj laj Lázaro, ut quixye: -Laj Lázaro inc'a' tâcâmk chi junaj cua xban li yajel a'an. Li yajel a'an yal re nak tâq'uehek' xlok'al li Dios ut tâq'uehek' ajcui' inlok'al lâin li Ralal li Dios, chan.

⁵Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

⁵Li Jesús naxraheb lix María ut lix Marta jo' ajcui' laj Lázaro.

⁶When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.

⁶Abanan inc'a' cô chirilbal chi junpât, usta quirabi nak nim xyajel laj Lázaro. Toj quicana ban cuib cutan chic sa' li na'ajej li cuan cui'.

⁷Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”

⁷Nak ac xnume' li cuib cutan, li Jesús quixye reheb lix tzolom: -Yo'keb cui'chic Judea, chan.

⁸The disciples told him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?”

⁸Lix tzolom que'chak'oc ut que'xye: -At tzolonel, nak cuanco aran, eb laj judío li cuanqueb aran que'raj raj âcamsinquil chi pec. ¿Ma toxic cui'chic aran? chanqueb.

⁹Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

⁹Li Jesús quixye reheb: -¿Ma inc'a' ta bi' cablaju ôr ru li jun cutan? Li ani nabêc chi cutan inc'a' naxtich rib xban nak cutan.

¹⁰ But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”

¹⁰Abanan li ani nabêc chiru k'ojyîn, naxtich rib xban nak mâc'a' li cutan saken riq'uin. Li ani naxbânu jo' naraj li Dios inc'a' te'xcamsi chi toj mâji' nacuulac xk'ehil.

¹¹He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”

¹¹Nak ac xye a'in, li Jesús quixye reheb lix tzolom: -Laj Lázaro li nakara, yô chi cuârc. Abanan lâin xic cue chirajsinquil, chan.

¹²The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

¹²Eb lix tzolom que'xye: -Kâcua', cui yô chi cuârc, a'an retalil nak tâq'uirâk, chanqueb.

¹³Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.

¹³Eb a'an inc'a' que'xtau ru nak li Jesús quixye nak camenak chic laj Lázaro. Sa' xch'ôleb a'an nak yâl nak yal cuârc yô.

¹⁴So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.

¹⁴Tojo'nak li Jesús quixye chi tz'akal reheb: -Laj Lázaro camenak chic.

¹⁵ I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”

¹⁵Abanan nasaho' sa' inch'ôl nak mâ anihin chak aran nak xcam re nak lâex têpâb nak cuan incuanquil. Yôkeb riq'uin, chan li Jesús.

¹⁶Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, “Didymus” means “Twin” said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go also, that we may die with him.”

¹⁶Laj Tomás, li neque'xye lut re, quixye reheb li rech aj tzolonelil: -Yo'keb ajcui' lâo usta tocamsîk kochben laj tzolonel, chan.

¹⁷So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

¹⁷Nak quicuulac li Jesús aran Betania, ac cuan chic câhib cutan xmukbal laj Lázaro.

¹⁸Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia 15 stadia is about 2.8 kilometers or 1.7 miles away.

¹⁸Li tenamit Betania nach' cuan riq'uin Jerusalén, mero legua tana xnajtil.

¹⁹Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

¹⁹Nabaleb laj judío que'chal chixc'ojobanquil xch'ôleb lix María ut lix Marta xban nak ac xcam li raseb.

²⁰Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.

²⁰Que'rabi nak yô chi châlc li Jesús, ut lix Marta cô chixc'ulbal. Abanan lix María quicana sa' cab.

²¹Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

²¹Lix Marta quixye re li Jesús: -Kâcua', cui ta cuancat arin, inc'a' raj xcam li cuas.

²²Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

²²Abanan lâin ninnau nak chixjunil li c'a'ru tâtz'âma chiru li Dios, a'an tixq'ue âcue, chan lix Marta.

²³Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

²³Li Jesús quixye re: -Lâ cuas tâcuaclîk cui'chic chi yo'yo, chan.

²⁴Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

²⁴Ut lix Marta quixye: -Lâin ninnau nak tâcuaclîk cui'chic chi yo'yo nak te'cuaclîk li camenak sa' roso'jiqueb li cutan, chan.

²⁵Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

²⁵Ut li Jesús quixye re: -Lâin li nincuaclesin reheb li camenak chi yo'yo. Lâin li ninq'uehoc junelic yu'am. Li ani napâban cue lâin tâcuânk xyu'am chi junelic usta nacam.

²⁶ Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

²⁶Ut li ani cuan xyu'am ut niquinixpâb, inc'a' tâcâmk chi junaj cua. Cuânk ban xyu'am chi junelic. ¿Ma nacapâb a'in? chan li Jesús.

²⁷She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”

²⁷Quichak'oc lix Marta ut quixye: -Ninpâb, Kâcua'. Lâin ninnau nak lâat li Cristo li Ralal li Dios li yôco chiroybeninquil, chan lix Marta.

²⁸When she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here, and is calling you.”

²⁸Nak ac xye a'in, lix Marta cô sa' rochoch chixbokbal lix María li rîtz'in. Ut quixye re chi timil re nak inc'a' te'rabi chixjunileb: -Xc'ulun laj tzolonel ut târaj âtinac âcuiq'uin, chan re.

²⁹When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.

²⁹Nak lix María quirabi nak ac xc'ulun li Jesús, cô sa' junpât chixc'ulbal.

³⁰Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.

³⁰Li Jesús toj mâji' na-oc sa' li tenamit. Toj cuan chak sa' li na'ajej bar quic'ule' cui' xban lix Marta.

³¹Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”

³¹Nabaleb laj judío li cuanqueb sa' li rochoch yôqueb chixc'ojobanquil xch'ôl lix María. Que'ril nak cô sa' junpât. Que'xtâke xban nak eb a'an que'xc'oxla nak lix María cô chi yâbac sa' li muklebâl.

³²Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”

³²Lix María quicuulac cuan cui' li Jesús. Nak quiril ru, quixcuik'ib rib chiru ut quixye re: -Kâcua', cui ta cuancat arin, inc'a' raj xcam li cuas, chan re.

³³When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

³³Li Jesús quiril nak yô chi yâbac ut yôqueb ajcui' chi yâbac li cuanqueb rochben. C'ajo' nak quiyot'e' xch'ôl chi rilbal.

³⁴and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”

³⁴Ut quixye reheb: -¿Bar xemuk?- Que'xye re: -Yo'o re tâcuil bar xkamuk, chanqueb.

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁵Ut li Jesús quiyâbac xban xrahil xch'ôl.

³⁶The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”

³⁶Cuanqueb aran que'xye: -Ilomak c'ajo' nak quixra li camenak, chanqueb.

³⁷Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”

³⁷Ut cuanqueb cui'chic li que'xye: -A'an quixq'ue chi iloc li mutz'. ¿Ma inc'a' raj xru quixcol laj Lázaro chiru li câmc? chanqueb.

³⁸Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

³⁸Ut quiyot'e' cui'chic xch'ôl li Jesús. Cô aran cuan cui' li muklebâl yîbanbil sa' jun ochoch pec. Li muklebâl tz'aptz'o riq'uin jun nimla pec.

³⁹Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

³⁹Quixye li Jesús: -Isihomak li pec.- Lix Marta, li ranab li camenak quixye re: -Kâcua', ac xchuho'. Cuan chic câhib cutan xmukbal, chan.

⁴⁰Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”

⁴⁰Quixye li Jesús re: -¿Ma inc'a' xinye âcue nak cui tâpâb, tâcuil xcuanquilal li Dios? chan.

⁴¹So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. NU omits “from the place where the dead man was lying.” Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.

⁴¹Ut que'risi li pec chire li muklebâl li que'xq'ue cui' li camenak. Li Jesús qui-iloc takec' ut quitijoc. Quixye: -At inYucua', ninbantioxi châcuu nak nacacuabi li c'a'ru nintz'âma châcuu.

⁴² I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”

⁴²Lâin ninnau nak junelic niquinâcuabi. Abanan ninye âcue a'in re nak eb li cuanqueb arin te'ril li c'a'ru tinbânu ut te'xpâb nak lâat xattaklan chak cue, chan li Jesús nak quitijoc.

⁴³When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴³Nak quirake' chi tijoc, li Jesús quixye chi cau xyâb xcux: -At Lázaro, cuaclin chak ut quim arin, chan.

⁴⁴He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”

⁴⁴Ut laj Lázaro li quicam qui-el chak. Lanlo sa' jun t'icr jo' c'aynakeb chixbânunquil reheb li camenak. Li ru lanlo ajcui' sa' t'icr ut bac'bo li rok ut bac'bo li ruk'. Li Jesús quixye reheb: -Hitomak ut canabomak chi bêc, chan.

⁴⁵Therefore many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.

⁴⁵Ut nabaleb laj judío li cuanqueb rochben lix María que'xpâb li Jesús nak que'ril li milagro li quixbânu.

⁴⁶But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.

⁴⁶Abanan cuanqueb ajcui' li que'côeb riq'uineb laj fariseo ut que'xye reheb chixjunil li quixbânu li Jesús.

⁴⁷The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

⁴⁷Ut eb laj fariseo rochbeneb li xbênil aj tij que'xch'utub ribeb riq'uineb li neque'taklan sa' xyânkeb laj judío ut que'xye reheb: -¿C'a'ru takabânu? Li cuînk a'in nabal li milagro yô chixbânunquil.

⁴⁸If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

⁴⁸Cui takacanab chi jo'can, chixjunileb li tenamit te'pâbânk re. Ut te'josk'ok kiq'uin eb laj Roma li neque'taklan sa' kabên. Te'xjuc' li katemplo ut te'xsach li katenamit, chanqueb.

⁴⁹But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

⁴⁹Jun li cuînk aj Caifás xc'aba', a'an li xyucua'il aj tij sa' li chihab a'an. Quixye reheb: -Lâex mâc'a' êna'leb.

⁵⁰nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”

⁵⁰¿Ma inc'a' nequec'oxla nak k'axal us raj nak tâcâmk jun chi cuînk sa' xc'aba'eb li tenamit chiru nak tâsachek' ku chikajunilo lâo aj judío xbaneb laj Roma? chan.

⁵¹Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

⁵¹Laj Caifás, a'an li xyucua'il aj tij sa' li chihab a'an. Ut li c'a'ru quixye inc'a' quixye yal xjunes. Quixye ban xban nak li Dios quic'utuc chiru li c'a'ru tixye. Jo'can nak quixye nak li Jesús tâcâmk sa' xc'aba'eb laj judío.

⁵²and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

⁵²Ut mâcua' ca'aj cui' sa' xc'aba'eb a'an nak tâcâmk li Jesús. Re aj ban cui' nak junajakeb chic ru chixjunileb li ralal xc'ajol li cuanqueb sa' chixjunil li ruchich'och'.

⁵³So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

⁵³Ut chalen sa' li cutan a'an, eb li neque'taklan sa' xyânkeb laj judío que'oc xc'ûbanquil ru sa' comonil chanru nak te'xcamsi li Jesús.

⁵⁴Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

⁵⁴Xban nak que'raj xcamsinquil li Jesús, inc'a' chic quiraj xc'utbal rib chiruheb laj judío. Qui-el aran ut cô sa' li tenamit Efraín li cuan nach' riq'uin li chaki ch'och'. Ut aran quicana rochbeneb lix tzolom.

⁵⁵Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

⁵⁵Nak yô chi cuulac xk'ehil li nink'e Pascua, nabaleb li cristian côeb Jerusalén chixch'ajobresinquil ribeb jo' c'aynakeb chixbânunquil re xtz'âmanquil xcuybal xmâqueb chiru li Dios. Tento te'xbânu a'an re nak târûk te'oquênk sa' li nink'e.

⁵⁶Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”

⁵⁶Yôqueb chixsic'bal li Jesús nak que'xch'utub ribeb sa' li templo. Que'xye chi ribileb rib: -¿C'a'ru nequec'oxla lâex? ¿Ma tâchâlk ta cui' sa' li nink'e li cuînk a'an?-Eb li xbênil aj tij ut eb laj fariseo que'xye reheb li tenamit nak cui ani tâabînk resil bar cuan li Jesús, tento te'xye resil, re nak târûk te'xtakla xchapbal.

⁵⁷Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.

⁵⁷Eb li xbênil aj tij ut eb laj fariseo que'xye reheb li tenamit nak cui ani tâabînk resil bar cuan li Jesús, tento te'xye resil, re nak târûk te'xtakla xchapbal.
