< John 21 >

1 After that, Jesus showed himself to [us] disciples when we were at Tiberias Lake, [which is another name for Galilee Lake]. This is what happened:
Junmul chik ri Jesús xukꞌut ribꞌ chkiwach ri utijoxelabꞌ, chuchiꞌ ri cho Tiberias. Jewaꞌ xubꞌan chukꞌutik ribꞌ.
2 Simon Peter, Thomas who was called {whom [we] called} The Twin, Nathaniel from Cana [town] in Galilee, my older brother and I, and two other disciples were together.
Ri Simón Pedro xaq jun e kꞌo wi rukꞌ ri Tomás (ri kabꞌix yoꞌx che), ri Natanael ri kel pa Caná pa Galilea, ri e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Zebedeo, xuqujeꞌ e kebꞌ tijoxelabꞌ chik.
3 Simon Peter said to us, “[I] am going to [try to] catch some fish.” We said, “We will go with you.” So we went down [to the lake] and got into the boat. But that night we caught nothing.
Ri Simón Pedro xubꞌij: Kineꞌ na pa chapoj kar. Ri e tijoxelabꞌ xkibꞌij che: Kujeꞌ awukꞌ. Xaq jeriꞌ xeꞌl bꞌik xaqꞌan pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ, xa ta kꞌu ne jun kar xkiriq che ri chaqꞌabꞌil riꞌ.
4 Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
Are xsaqirik, ri Jesús xopan chuchiꞌ ri cho. Ri tijoxelabꞌ man xkichꞌobꞌ taj chi areꞌ.
5 He called out to us, “My friends, you have not [caught] any fish, have you?” We answered, “You are correct, [we have not caught any].”
Xaq kꞌa teꞌ ri Jesús xuta chike: Alabꞌom, ¿la maj jun jas iwe tijowik rij iwukꞌ? Maj, xecha ri tijoxelabꞌ.
6 He said to us, “Throw your net out from the right-hand side of the boat! Then you will find some!” We did that, and we caught so many fish [in the net] that we were unable to pull the net into [the boat]!
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Chikꞌyaqa ri kꞌat pa iwiqiqꞌabꞌ rech kiꞌchap ri kar. Je kꞌu ri xkibꞌano, sibꞌalaj e kꞌi kar xeꞌkichapo, man kekwin ta chi kꞌut kakesaj loq ri kꞌat pa ri jaꞌ.
7 [But I knew that it was Jesus], [so] I said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Peter had taken off his cloak [while he was working], but as soon as he heard [me say] “It is the Lord!” he wrapped his cloak around himself and jumped into the water [and swam to shore].
Ri tijoxel ri sibꞌalaj kaloqꞌax rumal ri Jesús xubꞌij che ri Pedro: Are Ajawxel. Are xuta ri Pedro xbꞌix che “Are Ajawxel” aninaq xukoj bꞌik ri ratzꞌyaq jeriꞌ rumal xaq kꞌyaqal ratzꞌyaq ukojom, kꞌa te riꞌ xukꞌyaq bꞌik ribꞌ pa ri jaꞌ.
8 The rest of us came [to the shore] in the boat, pulling the net full of fish. We were not far from shore, only about 100 yards/meters.
Ri nikꞌaj tijoxelabꞌ chik xekanaj kanoq pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ, tajin kakijuruj kan ri kꞌat nojinaq che kar, jeriꞌ rumal chi ciento metros e kꞌo wi che ri uchiꞌ ri jaꞌ.
9 When [we] got to the shore, we saw that there was a fire of burning coals there, with a [large] fish on the fire, and [some] buns.
Are xeqaj pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal, xkil jun kar rachiꞌl jun kaxlan wa kꞌo cho jun rachaq qꞌaqꞌ.
10 Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Chikꞌama loq kebꞌ oxibꞌ kar che ri xiꞌchap loq.
11 Simon Peter got in [the boat] and dragged the net to the shore. It was full of large fish. There were 153 of them! But in spite of there being so many fish, the net was not torn.
Ri Simón Pedro xpaqiꞌ pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal, xuꞌjuruj bꞌik ri kꞌat sibꞌalaj nojinaq che nimaq taq kar, kꞌa chuchiꞌ ri jaꞌ. Xeꞌkichap jun ciento rukꞌ nikꞌaj rachiꞌl oxibꞌ kar. Pune sibꞌalaj e kꞌi kar e kꞌo bꞌik pa ri kꞌat, man xtꞌoqopin ta kꞌu ri kꞌat.
12 Jesus said to us, “Come and eat some breakfast!” None of us dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because we knew that it was the Lord.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Chixanloq, chixulwoꞌq. Man kꞌo ta kꞌu jun chike ri tijoxelabꞌ xuta che ri Jesús: ¿Jachin ri lal? Jeriꞌ rumal ketaꞌm chi are Jesús.
13 Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
Ri Jesús xukꞌam ri kaxlan wa, kꞌa te riꞌ xuya chike, je xuqujeꞌ xubꞌan che ri kar.
14 That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
Are waꞌ urox mul ri xukꞌut ribꞌ ri Jesús chikiwach ri utijoxelabꞌ are kꞌastajinaq chi uwach.
15 When we had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “John’s [son] Simon, do you love me more than these [other disciples do]?” Peter said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said, “Give to [those who belong to] me [what they need spiritually, like] [MET] [a shepherd provides] food for his lambs.”
Are xtijtaj ri kiwa rech aqꞌabꞌil, ri Jesús xuta che ri Simón Pedro: Simón ukꞌojol ri Juan, ¿la kꞌo na ri aloqꞌanik chwe cho ri aloqꞌanik chike we nikꞌaj riꞌ? Ri Pedro xubꞌij: Jeꞌ Tat, etaꞌm la chi kanloqꞌaj la. Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Chaꞌchajij bꞌa ri alaj taq nuchij.
16 Jesus said to him again, “John’s [son] Simon, do you love me?” He replied, “Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said to him, “Take care of [those who belong to] me, [like] [MET] a [shepherd takes care of his] sheep.”
Ri Jesús xuta chi junmul che ri Pedro: Simón ukꞌojol ri Juan, ¿la kinaloqꞌaj? Ri Pedro xubꞌij: Jeꞌ Tat, etaꞌm la chi kanloqꞌaj la. Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Chaꞌchajij ri nuchij.
17 Jesus said to him a third time, “John’s son Simon, am I really dear to you (OR, do you really love me)?” Peter was grieved because Jesus asked him this three times, [and because the third time he changed the question]. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said, “Give to [those who belong to] me [what they need spiritually, as] [MET] [a shepherd provides] food for [his] sheep.
Churox mul xuta ri Jesús che ri Simón: Simón, ukꞌojol ri Juan ¿la kinaloqꞌaj? Ri Pedro xkꞌaxir ranimaꞌ jeriꞌ rumal xta che oxibꞌ mul ri kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ “¿La kinaloqꞌaj?” Xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Wajaw, lal etaꞌm la ronojel, etaꞌm la chi kanloqꞌaj la. Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Chaꞌchajij ri nuchij.
18 Now listen to this carefully: When you were young, you put your clothes on by yourself, and you went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will stretch out your arms, and someone will fasten them [with a rope] and will lead you to a place where you do not want to [go].”
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chawe chi are at akꞌal ala, kakoj bꞌik ri awatzꞌyaq kateꞌ jawjeꞌ ri kawaj wi. Are kꞌu we xatriꞌjobꞌik, kayuq na ri ukobꞌchal ri aqꞌabꞌ, jun chi kꞌu wi na kakojow bꞌik ri awatzꞌyaq chawij kꞌa te riꞌ katukꞌam bꞌik jawjeꞌ ri man kawaj taj kateꞌ wi.
19 Jesus said this to indicate how Peter would die ([violently/on a cross]) in order to honor God. Then Jesus said to him, “Keep being my faithful disciple [until you die].”
Xubꞌij ri Jesús we riꞌ rech kuya uchꞌobꞌik che ri Pedro ri kamikal ri kuriq na, rech jeriꞌ kuya uqꞌij ri Dios. Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij ri Jesús che: Chinatereneꞌj.
20 Peter turned around and saw that I was following them. I was the one who leaned close to Jesus during the [Passover] meal and said, “Lord, who is going to enable your enemies to seize you?”
Are xtzalqꞌomij ri Pedro chirij, xrilo chi teren bꞌik ri tijoxel ri sibꞌalaj kaloqꞌax rumal ri Jesús, are waꞌ ri tijoxel ri pa ri jun rekeqꞌij xqꞌoyiꞌ cho ukꞌuꞌx ri Jesús xuta che: Ajawxel, ¿jachin riꞌ ri kakꞌayin la?
21 When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
Are xril ri Pedro we tijoxel riꞌ, xuta che ri Ajawxel: Ajawxel, ¿jas kakꞌulmataj rukꞌ areꞌ?
22 Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain [alive] until I return, (that is not your concern!/what is that to you?) [RHQ] You be my [faithful] disciple!”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: We kawaj in chi kakꞌasiꞌ na kꞌa kintzalij na loq, ¿jas awe at che? At xwi chinatereneꞌj.
23 Some of the other believers heard [a report of] what Jesus had said about me, and [they thought that Jesus meant] that I would not die. But Jesus did not say that I would not die. He said only, “If I want him to remain [alive] until I return, (that is not your concern!/what is that to you?) [RHQ]”
Rumal riꞌ xtukin bꞌik ubꞌixik chikixoꞌl ri alaxik chi we tijoxel riꞌ man kakam taj. Ri Jesús man xubꞌij taj chi mat kakamik, xane xwi xubꞌij: We kawaj in chi kakꞌasiꞌ kꞌa kintzalij na loq, ¿jas awe at che?
24 [I, John], am the disciple who has seen all these things and I have written them down. My [fellow apostles] and I know that what [I have written] is true.
Are waꞌ ri tijoxel ri kaqꞌalajisan we jastaq riꞌ xuqujeꞌ areꞌ xtzꞌibꞌan we jastaq riꞌ. Uchapom xuqujeꞌ qakꞌuꞌx chi ri uqꞌalajisanik qas tzij wi.
25 Jesus did many other things. If they would [all] be written {If people would write them [all]} down [in detail], I suppose that the whole world would not have enough space [HYP] to contain the books that would be written {that they would write} [about what he did].
Ri Jesús xubꞌan xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj taq jastaq chik, we ta kꞌu katzꞌibꞌax pa jujunal ronojel ri xubꞌano, kinchomaj in chi maj kakꞌojiꞌ wi ronojel ri wuj riꞌ cho ri uwachulew.
