¹but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

¹Li Jesús cô sa' li tzûl Olivos.

²Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them.

²Cuulajak chic nak toj ek'ela cô cui'chic sa' li templo. Li q'uila tenamit que'cuulac riq'uin. Ut nak quic'ojla, qui-oc cui'chic chixch'olobanquil lix yâlal chiruheb.

³The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the midst,

³Eb laj fariseo ut eb laj tzolol chak'rab que'xc'am riq'uin li Jesús jun li ixk yô chixmuxbal ru xsumlajic nak que'xtau ut coxxe'xxakab chiruheb chixjunileb.

⁴they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.

⁴Que'xye: -At tzolonel, li ixk a'in yô chixmuxbal ru xsumlajic nak xkatau.

⁵Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such. Leviticus 20:10; Deuteronomy 22:22 What then do you say about her?”

⁵Sa' li chak'rab li quixq'ue ke laj Moisés naxye nak cutbileb chi pec nak te'camsîk eb li ixk li neque'xmux ru lix sumlajic jo' xbânu li ixk a'in. Ut lâat, ¿c'a'ru nacaye? chanqueb.

⁶They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.

⁶Que'xye re li Jesús chi jo'can yal re rilbal c'a' na ru tixye xban nak yôqueb chixsic'bal c'a'ru te'xjit cui'. Aban li Jesús quixxulub rib ut qui-oc chi tz'îbac chiru ch'och' riq'uin ru'uj ruk'.

⁷But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”

⁷Ut xban nak yôqueb chixpatz'bal, li Jesús quixakli cui'chic ut quixye reheb: -Li ani mâc'a' xmâc sa' êyânk, a'an li xbên li tixcut li pec, chan.

⁸Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

⁸Ut quixxulub rib ut qui-oc cui'chic chi tz'îbac chiru ch'och'.

⁹They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.

⁹Nak que'rabi li c'a'ru quixye, que'rec'a rib xban nak cuanqueb xmâc ut que'oc chi êlc chi xjûnkaleb. Xbên cua que'el li chêquel cuînk ut chirixeb a'an que'el li toj sâjeb. Quicana xjunes li Jesús ut li ixk xakxo chiru.

¹⁰Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”

¹⁰Li Jesús quixakli cui'chic ut quixye re li ixk: -¿Bar cuanqueb li yôqueb chi jitoc âcue? ¿Ma mâ ani xq'uehoc âcue chixtojbal âmâc? chan.

¹¹She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”

¹¹Ut li ixk quixye re: -Mâ jun, Kâcua'.- Ut li Jesús quixye re: -Chi moco lâin tatinq'ue chixtojbal âmâc. Ayu ut matmâcob chic, chan.

¹²Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Isaiah 60:1 He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

¹²Li Jesús quiâtinac cui'chic riq'uineb li tenamit ut quixye reheb: -Lâin lix cutan saken li ruchich'och'. Li ani tâpâbânk cue lâin, inc'a' chic tâcuânk sa' xk'ojyînal ru li mâc. Tâcuânk ban sa' cutan saken ut tâcuânk xyu'am chi junelic, chan.

¹³The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”

¹³Ut eb laj fariseo que'xye re: -Mâc'a' na-oc cui' li c'a'ru yôcat chixyebal xban nak châcuix ajcui' lâat yôcat chi âtinac, chanqueb.

¹⁴Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.

¹⁴Li Jesús quixye reheb: -Cuan xcuanquil li ninye usta yôquin chi âtinac chicuix lâin xban nak tz'akal yâl li ninye. Lâex inc'a' nequenau bar xinchal chak, chi moco nequenau bar tinxic. Ca'aj cui' lâin ninna'oc re bar xinchal chak ut bar tinxic.

¹⁵ You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

¹⁵Lâex nequexrakoc âtin jo' nequeraj lâex êjunes. Lâin mâ ani sa' aj bên yôquin chi rakoc âtin.

¹⁶ Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

¹⁶Abanan cui tinrakok âtin, tinbânu sa' tîquilal xban nak inc'a' ninrakoc âtin injunes. Ninbânu ban jo' naraj lin Yucua' li quitaklan chak cue.

¹⁷ It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid. Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15

¹⁷Sa' lê chak'rab tz'îbanbil retalil cui cuan cuibeb li cuînk junaj lix c'a'uxeb riq'uin li c'a'ru te'xye, tento xpâbanquil li râtineb.

¹⁸ I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

¹⁸Lâin ninye li yâl chicuix ajcui' lâin. Ut lin Yucua' li quitaklan chak cue, a'an naxch'olob ajcui' li yâl chicuix, chan li Jesús.

¹⁹They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

¹⁹Eb laj fariseo que'chak'oc ut que'xye re: -¿Ani lâ yucua'? chanqueb re. Li Jesús quixye reheb: -Lâex inc'a' nequenau ani lin Yucua' xban nak inc'a' nequenau cuu lâin. Cui ta nequenau cuu lâin, nequenau aj raj cui' ru lin Yucua', chan reheb.

²⁰Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

²⁰Chixjunil a'in quixye li Jesús reheb nak yô chixch'olobanquil lix yâlal chiruheb li cuanqueb sa' li templo sa' li na'ajej bar neque'xq'ue cui' lix mayejeb. Ut mâ ani quichapoc re xban nak toj mâji' nacuulac xk'ehil.

²¹Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t come.”

²¹Ut li Jesús quixye cui'chic reheb: -Lâin tinxic. Tinêsic' raj chic abanan inc'a' tinêtau xban nak inc'a' târûk texxic bar tinxic cui' lâin. Texcâmk ban sa' lê mâc, chan.

²²The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, that he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come?’ ”

²²Ut eb laj judío que'xye: -A'an xye nak inc'a' naru toxic bar tâxic cui' a'an. ¿C'a'ut nak xye ke chi jo'can? ¿Ma yô chixc'oxlanquil xcamsinquil rib? chanqueb.

²³He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

²³Li Jesús quixye reheb: -Lâex aj ruchich'och'. Abanan lâin mâcua'in aj ruchich'och'. Lâin sa' choxa xinchal chak.

²⁴ I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am or, I AM he, you will die in your sins.”

²⁴Jo'can nak xinye êre nak texcâmk sa' lê mâc. Lâex texcâmk sa' lê mâc cui inc'a' nequepâb nak lâin ac cuanquin ajcui' chak sa' xticlajic jo' xinye êre, chan li Jesús.

²⁵They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

²⁵Ut eb a'an que'xye re: -Ye ke. ¿Anihat tz'akal lâat? chanqueb. Li Jesús quixye reheb: -Chalen sa' xticlajic quinye chak êre anihin lâin.

²⁶ I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”

²⁶Nabal li c'a'ak re ru naru tinye raj êre re xrakbal âtin sa' êbên. Li ani quitaklan chak cue, a'an tîc xch'ôl ut naxye li yâl. Li c'a'ru xc'ut chicuu li quitaklan chak cue, a'an li ninye êre lâex li cuanquex sa' ruchich'och', chan.

²⁷They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

²⁷Abanan eb a'an inc'a' que'xtau ru nak li Jesús yô chi âtinac chirix li Acuabej Dios.

²⁸Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.

²⁸Ut quixye ajcui' li Jesús reheb: -Nak acak xinêtaksi chiru li cruz re incamsinquil toj aran têq'ue retal nak lâin li taklanbilin chak xban li Dios. Ut tênau nak mâc'a' ninbânu injunes. Li c'a'ru ninye lâin, a'an li quixc'utbesi chicuu lin Yucua'.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

²⁹Li ani quitaklan chak cue, a'an cuan cuiq'uin. A'an inc'a' quinixcanab injunes xban nak lâin junelic ninbânu li c'a'ru naraj a'an, chan li Jesús.

³⁰As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

³⁰Nabaleb que'pâban re li Jesús nak que'rabi li c'a'ru quixye.

³¹Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³¹Li Jesús quiâtinac riq'uineb laj judío li que'pâban re. Quixye reheb: -Cui lâex têbânu li c'a'ru ninye êre, lâexak tz'akal intzolom.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” Psalm 119:45

³²Tênau chic lix yâlal. Ut nak acak xenau chic lix yâlal, libre chic cuânkex, chan.

³³They answered him, “We are Abraham’s seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free?’ ”

³³Eb a'an que'chak'oc ut que'xye: -Lâo ralal xc'ajol laj Abraham. Mâ jun cua c'ayinbilo chi c'anjelac chiru anihak. ¿C'a'ut nak nacaye nak libre chic cuânko?

³⁴Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁴Li Jesús quixye reheb: -Relic chi yâl ninye êre nak chixjunileb li neque'xbânu li mâusilal cuanqueb rubel xcuanquil li mâc. Chanchan nak c'ayinbileb chi c'anjelac chiru.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

³⁵Junak c'ayinbil chi c'anjelac moco tâcanâk ta chi junaj cua sa' rochoch lix patrón. A'ut li alalbej, a'an tento nak tâcanâk sa' rochoch chi junaj cua.

³⁶ If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

³⁶Jo'can nak cui lâin li C'ajolbej tincolok êre chiru li mâc, relic chi yâl libre chic cuânkex.

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham’s seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

³⁷Lâin ninnau nak lâex xcomonex li ralal xc'ajol laj Abraham. Abanan cuan sa' êyânk li te'raj incamsinquil xban nak inc'a' nacuulac chiruheb li c'a'ru yôquin chixyebal.

³⁸ I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

³⁸Lâin ninye li c'a'ru quixc'ut chicuu lin Yucua'. Ut eb a'an neque'xbânu li c'a'ru quixye reheb lix yucua'eb a'an, chan.

³⁹They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

³⁹Eb a'an que'xye re: -Laj Abraham, a'an li kaxe'tônil yucua', chanqueb. Li Jesús quixye reheb: -Cui ta lâex ralal xc'ajol laj Abraham, têbânu raj jo' quixbânu laj Abraham. Châbil raj lê na'leb jo' xna'leb a'an nak quicuan.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.

⁴⁰Abanan lâex têraj incamsinquil xban nak lâin xinye êre lix yâlal jo' quic'utbesîc chicuu xban li Dios Acuabej. Laj Abraham inc'a' quixbânu jo' yôquex lâex.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

⁴¹Inc'a' yôquex chixbânunquil li quixye laj Abraham. Yôquex ban chixbânunquil li naxye lê yucua', chan li Jesús. Eb a'an que'chak'oc ut que'xye re: -Moco lâo ta ralal xc'ajol laj co'bêt. Jun ajcui' li kayucua' cuan. A'an li Dios, chanqueb.

⁴²Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

⁴²Li Jesús quixye reheb: -Cui ta yâl nak li Dios êyucua', niquinêra raj lâin xban nak riq'uin li Dios quinchal chak. Cuanquin arin sa' êyânk. Inc'a' quintakla chak cuib injunes. A' li Dios, a'an li quitaklan chak cue.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

⁴⁵Lâin ninye êre lix yâlal. Jo'can nak inc'a' niquinêpâb.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁶¿Ma cuan junak sa' êyânk târûk tixye nak cuan inmâc lâin? Cui ninye li yâl, ¿c'a'ut nak inc'a' niquinêpâb?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

⁴⁸Que'chak'oc eb laj judío ut que'xye re: -Yâl ajcui' nacaye. Samaria lâ tenamit ut cuan mâus aj musik'ej âcuiq'uin, chanqueb.

⁴⁹Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

⁴⁹Li Jesús quixye reheb: -Mâc'a' mâus aj musik'ej cuiq'uin. Li c'a'ru yôquin chixbânunquil lâin, a'an xq'uebal xlok'al lin Yucua'. Abanan lâex niquinêtz'ektâna.

⁵²Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’

⁵²Eb laj judío que'chak'oc ut que'xye: -Anakcuan nakanau chi tz'akal nak cuan mâus aj musik'ej âcuiq'uin. Laj Abraham quicam ut que'cam ajcui' eb li profeta. Abanan lâat nacaye nak li ani tâbânûnk re li c'a'ru nacaye inc'a' tâcâmk.

⁵³Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”

⁵³¿Ma k'axal nim ta bi' âcuanquil lâat chiru laj Abraham li kaxe'tônil yucua'? A'an quicam ut que'cam ajcui' li profeta. ¿Anihat lâat nak nacaye chi jo'can? chanqueb re.

⁵⁴Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.

⁵⁴Li Jesús quixye reheb: -Cui lâin tinq'ue inlok'al injunes, mâc'a' na-oc cui' lin lok'al. Li naq'uehoc lin lok'al, a'an lin Yucua' li nequeye lâex nak a'an lê Dios.

⁵⁵ You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.

⁵⁵Lâex inc'a' nequenau ru a'an. Abanan lâin ninnau ru. Cui ut tinye ta nak inc'a' ninnau ru, lâinak raj aj tic'ti' jo' lâex. Aban lâin ninnau ru ut ninbânu li c'a'ru naxye a'an.

⁵⁷The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”

⁵⁷Eb a'an que'xye re: -¿Chanru nak xacuil ru laj Abraham? Lâat toj mâji' nacabânu lajêb roxc'âl chihab, chanqueb.

⁵⁸Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM. or, I am ”

⁵⁸Li Jesús quichak'oc ut quixye reheb: -Relic chi yâl tinye êre nak chalen chak sa' xticlajic nak toj mâji' nayo'la laj Abraham, ac cuanquin ajcui' chak lâin, chan li Jesús.C'ajo' nak que'josk'o' ut que'oc raj chixcutinquil chi pec. Abanan li Jesús quixmuk rib chiruheb. Qui-el sa' li templo ut cô.

⁵⁹Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through their midst, and so passed by.
