< John 16 >

1 “I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble.
Xinbꞌij chiꞌwe ronojel we jastaq riꞌ rech man kakabꞌalaj ta ikꞌuꞌx
2 They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.
Kixesax na bꞌik pa taq ri Sinagoga, xuqujeꞌ kuriq na qꞌij chi ri winaq ri kixkamisanik kubꞌij chi xa tajin kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios.
3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father nor me.
Jeꞌ waꞌ kenoꞌjin na rumal man ketaꞌmam taj uwach ri Tataxel xuqujeꞌ man ketaꞌm taj nuwach in.
4 But I have told you these things so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
Kinbꞌij we jastaq riꞌ chiꞌwe rech are kuriq ri qꞌij kakꞌulmatajik kanaꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi nubꞌim chik chiꞌwe. Man xinbꞌij ta we riꞌ chiꞌwe pa ri majibꞌal rech ronojel jeriꞌ rumal in kꞌo na iwukꞌ.
5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
Chanim kintzalij rukꞌ ri xintaqow loq, maj jun chiꞌwe katow chwe ¿jawjeꞌ keꞌ wi la?
6 But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
Xane sibꞌalaj kixbꞌison chik rumal ri xinbꞌij chiꞌwe.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe: Are utz we kineꞌek, jeriꞌ rumal we man kineꞌek man kape ta riꞌ ri kubꞌisal kuꞌx iwukꞌ, are kꞌu we kineꞌek, keꞌntaqa loq rech kape iwukꞌ.
8 When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;
Are kape ri kubꞌisal kuꞌx, kubꞌan na chi ri winaq aꞌjuwachulew kakichꞌobꞌ ri kimak, ri sukꞌal, xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌatoj tzij.
9 about sin, because they don’t believe in me;
Kaketaꞌmaj chi kꞌo kimak rumal man kekojon ta chwe.
10 about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;
Kaketaꞌmaj na ri sukꞌal, jeriꞌ rumal in kineꞌek rukꞌ ri nuTat, xuqujeꞌ man kixkwin ta chik kiwil nuwach.
11 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
Kaketaꞌmaj na ri qꞌatoj tzij, jeriꞌ rumal ri kabꞌan rech puꞌwiꞌ ri uwachulew xqꞌat taj tzij puꞌwiꞌ.
12 “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.
Kꞌi jastaq na kawaj kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, man kiqꞌiꞌ ta kꞌut we kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chanim.
13 However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
Are kape ri Uxlabꞌixel rech tunal, kukꞌam na ibꞌe pa ri tunal, jeriꞌ rumal man xaq ta pa rech wi kachꞌawik, xane are kibꞌij ri kutatabꞌej xuqujeꞌ kutzijoj na ri jastaq ri kape na.
14 He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you.
Areꞌ kuya na nuqꞌij jeriꞌ rumal kukꞌam na ri wech in rech kukꞌut chiꞌwech ix.
15 All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it to you.
Ronojel ri kꞌo rukꞌ ri Tataxel, we in. Rumal laꞌ xinbꞌij chi ri Uxlabꞌixel kukꞌam na ri wech in rech kukꞌut chiꞌwach ix.
16 “A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”
Pa jun janipa qꞌij man kiniwil ta chik, are ikꞌowinaq chi jun janipa qꞌij kiniwil chi na junmul.
17 Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”
Jujun chike ri utijoxelabꞌ xkibꞌilaꞌ chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: ¿Jas karaj kubꞌij rukꞌ we riꞌ “Pa jun janipa qꞌij man kiniwil ta chik,” kꞌa te riꞌ “Are ikꞌowinaq chi jun janipa qꞌij junmul chik kiniwil na” xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ le “Rumal kineꞌ rukꞌ ri Tataxel”?
18 They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”
Kakikoj kichuqꞌabꞌ chi retaꞌmaxik ri xubꞌij, kakibꞌila chibꞌil taq kibꞌ ¿jas karaj kubꞌij rukꞌ ri tzij “xaq pa jun janipa qꞌij chik”? Man qetaꞌm taj jas laꞌ le kubꞌij.
19 Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’?
Ri Jesús xuchꞌobꞌo chi are kakaj kakita we jastaq riꞌ che, rumal riꞌ xubꞌij chike: ¿Tajin kita chibꞌil iwibꞌ jas xwaj xinbꞌij rukꞌ: “Pa jubꞌiqꞌ man kiwil ta chik nuwach, xuqujeꞌ are kikꞌow jun janipa qꞌij kiniwil chi na ri junmul”?
20 Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe: Ri ix kixoqꞌ na rumal ri qꞌoxomal, are kꞌu ri winaq ajuwachulew kekiꞌkot na. Ri ix kixbꞌison na, ri ibꞌis kꞌut kakꞌexkꞌobꞌ na pa kiꞌkotemal.
21 A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.
Ri ixoq kunaꞌ qꞌoxom are jubꞌiqꞌ karaj kakꞌojiꞌ ri ral, are kakꞌojiꞌ ri ral kasachan che ri qꞌoxom kuchapleꞌj kiꞌkotik rumal cher retaꞌm chi xukꞌam loq jun kꞌakꞌ winaq cho ri uwachulew.
22 Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
Je xuqujeꞌ kakꞌulmataj iwukꞌ ix. Kixbꞌison chanim, xa kꞌu kixkiꞌkot na are kixinwil chi na junmul, maj kꞌu jun kesan ri kiꞌkotemal riꞌ chiꞌwe.
23 “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
Che ri qꞌij riꞌ maj jun jastaq chik kita chwe. Jeriꞌ rumal qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe ri nuTat kuya na chiꞌwe ronojel ri kita pa ri nubꞌiꞌ.
24 Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
Kꞌa kamik maj jun jastaq itom pa ri nubꞌiꞌ. Chitaꞌ rech kikꞌamawaꞌj, rech jeriꞌ katzꞌaqat ri ikiꞌkotemal.
25 “I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
We jastaq riꞌ xinbꞌij chiꞌwe rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj. Kape kꞌu na ri qꞌotaj are man je ta chi riꞌ kinbꞌan che ichꞌabꞌexik, xane qas kꞌyaqal na kinbꞌan chutzijoxik ri nuTat chiꞌwe.
26 In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,
Che ri qꞌij riꞌ kita na jastaq pa ri nubꞌiꞌ, man kinbꞌochiꞌj ta kꞌu na ri Tataxel rech kixutoꞌo.
27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.
Jeriꞌ, rumal tzi are ri Tataxel kixloqꞌanik rumal xiniloqꞌaj ix xuqujeꞌ xikojo chi che ri Dios nupetik wi.
28 I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”
Nupetik che ri Tataxel are xinpe choch ri uwachulew; chanim kinya kanoq ri uwachulew kintzalij rukꞌ ri Tataxel.
29 His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.
Ri tijoxelabꞌ xkibꞌij che: Chanim man patzkuꞌy taj tajin katzijon la, xane qas kꞌyaqalik.
30 Now we know that you know all things, and don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”
Chanim kaqachꞌobꞌo chi qas etaꞌm la ronojel ri jastaq, xuqujeꞌ man rajawaxik taj kaqata che la jas ubꞌanik. Rumal laꞌ kaqakojo chi che ri Dios petinaq wi la.
31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: ¿La kixkojon chwe chanim?
32 Behold, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
Kape na ri qꞌotaj, xuqujeꞌ xul waral, are kixtunkin na bꞌik, pa ijujunal kixeꞌ cho taq iwachoch, kiniya kanoq nutukel. Pune jeriꞌ man nutukel taj in kꞌolik, ri Tataxel kꞌo wukꞌ.
33 I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”
Xinbꞌij we jastaq riꞌ chiꞌwe rech kiriq jaꞌmaril rumal we. Kiriq na kꞌax cho ri uwachulew pune jeriꞌ kuꞌl ikꞌuꞌx rumal In xinchꞌeken puꞌwiꞌ ri kwinem rech ri uwachulew.
