¹After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

¹Chirix chic a'an, li Jesús yô chixbeninquileb li na'ajej li cuanqueb Galilea. Inc'a' quiraj xic Judea xban nak eb li neque'taklan sa' xyânkeb laj judío te'raj xcamsinquil.

²Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

²Yô chi cuulac xk'ehil li nink'e nak eb laj judío neque'xyîb lix coc' muhebâl.

³His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

³Eb li rîtz'in li Jesús que'xye re: -Elen sa' li na'ajej a'in. Ayu Judea re nak eb li neque'tâken âcue te'rileb li milagro li nacabânu.

⁴For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”

⁴Mâ ani junak tixbânu lix c'anjel chi mukmu cui naraj nak tâna'lîk ru. Cui tâbânu li milagro a'in, c'utbesi lâ c'anjel chiruheb chixjunileb, chanqueb.

⁵For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

⁵Yal ta eb li rîtz'in neque'pâban re nak a'an taklanbil chak xban li Dios.

⁶Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

⁶Quixye li Jesús reheb: -Toj mâji' nacuulac xk'ehil nak tinxic. Lâex naru texxic yalak jok'e.

⁷ The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

⁷Eb li cuanqueb sa' ruchich'och' xic' niquine'ril xban nak lâin ninye reheb nak inc'a' us li yôqueb chixbânunquil. Abanan lâex inc'a' xic' nequex-ile' xbaneb.

⁸ You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”

⁸Ayukex lâex sa' li nink'e. Lâin inc'a' tinxic xban nak toj mâji' nacuulac xk'ehil nak tinxic, chan li Jesús.

⁹Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

⁹Nak quixye reheb a'in, li Jesús toj quicana aran Galilea.

¹⁰But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

¹⁰Nak ac xcôeb li rîtz'in sa' li nink'e aran Jerusalén, li Jesús cô ajcui'. Abanan moco quixye ta rib. Chanchan sa' mukmu cô.

¹¹The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”

¹¹Eb li neque'taklan sa' xyânkeb laj judío yôqueb chixsic'bal li Jesús sa' li nink'e. -¿Bar anchal cuan li cuînk a'an? chanqueb.

¹²There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”

¹²Nabaleb li cuanqueb aran yôqueb chixcuech'inquil rib chirix li Jesús. Cuan yôqueb chi yehoc re: -Châbil cuînk a'an, chanqueb. Ut cuan cui'chic yôqueb chi yehoc: -Inc'a'. Li cuînk a'an naxbalak'iheb li tenamit, chanqueb.

¹³Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

¹³Abanan mâ ani quiâtinac chi cau xban nak que'xucuac chiruheb li neque'taklan sa' xyânkeb laj judío.

¹⁴But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

¹⁴Nak ac yô li nink'e li Jesús cô sa' li templo ut qui-oc chixch'olobanquil lix yâlal chiruheb li cuanqueb aran.

¹⁵The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

¹⁵Que'sach xch'ôleb li neque'taklan sa' xyânkeb laj judío chirabinquil li c'a'ru quixye li Jesús. Que'xye: -¿Chanru nak naxnau li cuînk a'in chixjunil li c'a'ak re ru a'in? A'an moco tzolbil ta, chanqueb.

¹⁶Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

¹⁶Quixye li Jesús reheb: -Li tijleb li yôquin chixc'utbal mâcua' cue. A' li Dios li quitaklan chak cue, a'an li quic'utuc chicuu li yôquin chixyebal, chan.

¹⁷ If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

¹⁷Li ani tâajok xbânunquil li c'a'ru naraj li Dios, a'an tixnau ma re li Dios li tijleb li yôquin chixc'utbal malaj ut yal inc'a'ux injunes.

¹⁸ He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

¹⁸Cui junak naxch'olob xyâlal li naxc'oxla xjunes, li jun a'an naraj nak tâq'uehek' xlok'al xbaneb li neque'abin re. Abanan li ani naraj nak tâq'uehek' xlok'al li quitaklan chak re, li jun a'an tîc xch'ôl ut mâc'a' balak'ic riq'uin.

¹⁹ Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”

¹⁹¿Ma inc'a' ta bi' quixq'ue êre li chak'rab laj Moisés? ¿C'a'ut nak mâ jun sa' êyânk naxbânu chi tz'akal li c'a'ru naxye li chak'rab? Ut, ¿c'a'ut nak têraj incamsinquil? chan li Jesús.

²⁰The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”

²⁰Eb a'an que'chak'oc ut que'xye re: -Cuan na li mâus aj musik'ej âcuiq'uin. ¿Ani tâajok âcamsinquil? chanqueb re.

²¹Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.

²¹Quixye li Jesús reheb: -Lâin xinbânu jun li milagro sa' li hilobâl cutan ut sachso êch'ôl xexcana xban.

²² Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

²²Laj Moisés quixye êre nak tento têbânu li circuncisión reheb lê ralal. (Mâcua' laj Moisés li quitiquiban re. A' lê xe'tônil yucua', a'aneb li que'tiquiban re xbânunquil li circuncisión.) Usta hilobâl cutan, lâex nequebânu li circuncisión.

²³ If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

²³Cui lâex nequebânu li circuncisión usta hilobâl cutan re nak inc'a' têk'et li chak'rab li quiq'uehe' re laj Moisés, ¿c'a'ut nak xexjosk'o' cuiq'uin nak xinq'uirtesi jun li cuînk sa' li hilobâl cutan?

²⁴ Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

²⁴Mexrakoc âtin jo' nequeraj lâex yal êjunes. Chexrakok ban âtin sa' xyâlal, chan li Jesús.

²⁵Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁵Cuanqueb aj Jerusalén que'xye: -¿Ma mâcua' ta bi' a'in li cuînk li te'raj xcamsinquil eb li neque'taklan sa' kayânk lâo aj judío?

²⁶Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

²⁶Q'uehomak retal. Cuan arin ut yô chi âtinac chiruheb chixjunileb li tenamit ut mâc'a' neque'xye re. Mâre xe'xnau nak a'an li Cristo.

²⁷However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁷¿Chanru nak a'anak li Cristo? ¿Ma inc'a' ta bi' nakanau bar xtenamit li cuînk a'in? Nak tâchâlk li Cristo, mâ ani tâna'ok re chi tz'akal bar tâchâlk chak, chanqueb.

²⁸Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

²⁸Nak li Jesús yô chixch'olobanquil lix yâlal sa' li templo, quixye chi cau xyâb xcux: -Yâl nak nequenau cuu. Ut nequenau bar intenamit. Abanan inc'a' nequenau chi tz'akal bar xinchal chak. Lâin inc'a' xintakla chak cuib yal injunes. Li Dios, li tîc xch'ôl, a'an li xtaklan chak cue. Lâex inc'a' nequenau ru a'an.

²⁹ I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”

²⁹Ca'aj cui' lâin ninna'oc ru xban nak riq'uin a'an xinchal chak. Li Dios, a'an li quitaklan chak cue, chan li Jesús.

³⁰They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³⁰Ut que'raj raj xchapbal re nak te'xq'ue sa' tz'alam. Abanan inc'a' ajcui' que'xchap xban nak toj mâji' nacuulac xk'ehil nak tâchapek'.

³¹But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”

³¹Nabaleb li tenamit que'xpâb li Cristo ut que'xye: -Lâo nakanau nak tâc'ulûnk li Cristo, nabaleb li milagro tixbânu. Li cuînk a'in nabal li milagro yô chixbânunquil. Cui ta mâcua' li Cristo, ¿chan ta cui' ru nak tixbânu li milagro li yô chixbânunquil?

³²The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

³²Eb laj fariseo que'rabi li yôqueb chixyebal chirix li Jesús. Jo'can nak eb a'an, rochbeneb li xbênil aj tij, que'xtakla li neque'c'ac'alen sa' li templo chixchapbal li Jesús re te'xq'ue sa' tz'alam.

³³Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

³³Li Jesús quixye reheb: -Toj mâji' tinêchap. Toj tincuânk chic ca'ch'inak sa' êyânk, tojo'nak tinsuk'îk cui'chic riq'uin li quitaklan chak cue.

³⁴ You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come.”

³⁴Tinêsic' ut inc'a' tinêtau xban nak bar cuânkin lâin, lâex inc'a' texrûk chi xic, chan.

³⁵The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

³⁵Ut eb laj judío que'oc chi âtinac chi ribileb rib ut que'xye: -¿Bar anchal tâxic li cuînk a'in nak inc'a' târûk takatau? Mâre tâxic riq'uineb laj judío li cuanqueb sa' xtenamiteb laj griego. Malaj tâoc chixtzolbaleb laj griego.

³⁶What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come’? ”

³⁶A'an xye, "Tinêsic' ut inc'a' tinêtau. Inc'a' naru texxic bar cuânkin cui'," chan. ¿C'a'ru xyâlal a'an? chanqueb.

³⁷Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

³⁷Li roso'jic li nink'e, a'an li cutan li k'axal lok' chiruheb. Sa' li hônal a'an, li Jesús quixakli chiruheb ut quixye chi cau xyâb xcux: -Li ani tâchakik re, châlk cuiq'uin. Lâin tinq'ue ruc'a.

³⁸ He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”

³⁸Xban nak jo'ca'in tz'îbanbil retalil sa' li Santil Hu: Chixjunileb li ani te'pâbânk cue lâin, li Santil Musik'ej li naq'uehoc junelic yu'am tâcuânk riq'uineb. Chanchan jun li yu'am ha' li inc'a' na-oso'.-

³⁹But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.

³⁹Nak quixye a'in, li Jesús yô chi âtinac chirix li Santil Musik'ej li tâcuânk riq'uineb li te'pâbânk re. Sa' li cutan a'an, li Santil Musik'ej toj mâji' nac'ulun xban nak li Jesús toj mâji' naxic sa' choxa chixc'ulbal lix lok'al.

⁴⁰Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

⁴⁰Nak que'rabi li c'a'ru quixye li Jesús, cuan que'yehoc: -Relic chi yâl li cuînk a'in profeta.-

⁴¹Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴¹Ut cuanqueb ajcui' que'xye: -Li cuînk a'in, a'an li Cristo.- Abanan cuanqueb cui'chic li que'chak'oc ut que'xye: -¿Ma Galilea ta bi' tâchâlk li Cristo li yechi'inbil ke?

⁴²Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, 2 Samuel 7:12 and from Bethlehem, Micah 5:2 the village where David was?”

⁴²Tz'îbanbil retalil sa' li Santil Hu nak li Cristo li Mesías tâchâlk sa' xyânkeb li ralal xc'ajol li rey David. Tâchâlk aran Belén li quicuan cui' li rey David najter, chanqueb.

⁴³So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

⁴³Jo'can nak li tenamit que'xjachi ribeb xban nak jalan jalânk yôqueb chixc'oxlanquil chirix li Jesús.

⁴⁴Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁴Cuanqueb li que'ajoc xchapbal li Jesús abanan inc'a' ajcui' que'xbânu.

⁴⁵The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

⁴⁵Nak que'suk'i li que'taklâc chixchapbal li Jesús, eb laj fariseo ut eb li xbênil aj tij que'xpatz' reheb: -¿C'a'ut nak inc'a' xec'am chak li cuînk a'an? chanqueb.

⁴⁶The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁶Eb li neque'c'ac'alen sa' li templo que'chak'oc ut que'xye: -¡Mâ jun cua kabiom junak cuînk chi âtinac jo' naâtinac li cuînk a'an! Ch'ina'us li c'a'ru naxye, chanqueb.

⁴⁷The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

⁴⁷Ut eb laj fariseo que'xye reheb: -¿Ma xeq'ue ajcui' êrib lâex chixbalak'i li cuînk a'an?

⁴⁸Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁸¿Ma cuan ta bi' junak xcomoneb li neque'taklan sa' kayânk li xpâb li c'a'ru naxye a'an? Ut, ¿ma cuan ta bi' junak kacomon lâo aj fariseo xpâban re?

⁴⁹But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is accursed.”

⁴⁹Eb li q'uila tenamit a'in inc'a' neque'xnau c'a'ru naxye sa' li chak'rab li quiq'uehe' re laj Moisés. ¿C'a'ru te'oc cui' eb a'an? chanqueb laj fariseo.

⁵⁰Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁵⁰Cuan aran laj Nicodemo li quicuulac riq'uin li Jesús chi k'ek. A'an jun reheb laj fariseo. Quixye reheb:

⁵¹“Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”

⁵¹-Naxye sa' li kachak'rab nak inc'a' naru rakoc âtin sa' xbên junak cuînk chi toj mâji' naxye ma cuan xmâc malaj ut inc'a'. Tento takanau chi tz'akal c'a'ru lix mâc, chan laj Nicodemo.

⁵²They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee. See Isaiah 9:1 and Matthew 4:13-16. ”

⁵²Que'chak'oc ut que'xye re: -¿Ma lâat ajcui' aj Galilea lâat? Tzol âcuib chi us sa' li Santil Hu re tâq'ue retal nak mâ jun profeta chalenak chak Galilea, chanqueb.Ut chirix chic a'an, chixjunileb que'côeb sa' rochocheb.

⁵³Everyone went to his own house,

⁵³Ut chirix chic a'an, chixjunileb que'côeb sa' rochocheb.
