< John 4 >

1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Ri Jesús tajin kubꞌan kiqasanaꞌ sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq xuqujeꞌ tajin kuꞌx utijoxelabꞌ, sibꞌalaj e kꞌi na choch ri utijoxelabꞌ ri Juan. Xretaꞌmaj kꞌu ri Jesús chi xketaꞌmaj we riꞌ ri fariseos.
2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
Man tzij ta kꞌut chi qas are ri Jesús tajin kabꞌanow ri qasanaꞌ xane are ri utijoxelabꞌ.
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
Are xretaꞌmaj ri Jesús we riꞌ, xel bꞌik pa ri tinimit Judea, xtzalij pa Galilea.
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
Choqꞌaqꞌ kꞌut kiꞌkow bꞌik pa ri tinimit Samaria.
5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Xok kꞌu bꞌik pa Sicar, jun tinimit ri kꞌo pa Samaria, ri kꞌo chuxukut ri ulew ri xuya ri Jacob che ri ukꞌojol José.
6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Chilaꞌ kꞌo wi ri kꞌwaꞌ ri xukꞌot kanoq ri Jacob. Ri Jesús xqꞌiꞌtaj bꞌik che ri bꞌe, xeꞌtꞌuyul chuxukut ri kꞌwaꞌ. Qas pa ri unikꞌaj riꞌ qꞌij.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
Ri utijoxelabꞌ e bꞌenaq kanoq pa ri tinimit chuloqꞌik kiwa. Xopan kꞌut jun ixoq chresaxik ujaꞌ pa ri kꞌwaꞌ. Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Chaya juqubꞌ nujoron.
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
Ri ixoq xubꞌij che: ¿Jas che kata ajaꞌ chwe, at at aj Israel are kꞌu ri in, in aj Samaria? Jeriꞌ xubꞌij che rumal cher ri aꞌj Israel man kakitun taj ukojik jun jastaq kukꞌ ri aꞌj Samaria.
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che ri ixoq: We ta awetaꞌm ri kakwinik kuya ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri tajin katow juqubꞌ jaꞌ chawe, at ta riꞌ nabꞌe xata ajaꞌ che, xuqujeꞌ xyaꞌtaj ta ajaꞌ riꞌ rumal, ri kuya kꞌaslemal ri maj ukꞌisik.
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?
Ri ixoq xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Tat, man keꞌ ta resaxik le jaꞌ, naj qajinaq. ¿Jawjeꞌ kꞌu keꞌsaj wi la loq ri jaꞌ ri kuya kꞌaslemal?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”
¿La lal ta kꞌu nim qꞌij la choch ri qamam Jacob, areꞌ xyoꞌw kan we kꞌwaꞌ riꞌ chaqe, chi riꞌ xresaj wi kijoron ri e ralkꞌwaꞌl xuqujeꞌ ri e rawaj?
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che ri ixoq: Xapachin ri kutij we jaꞌ riꞌ, kachaqiꞌj chi na uchiꞌ junmul chik.
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
Are kꞌu ri kutij rech ri jaꞌ ri kinya in man kachaqiꞌj ta chik uchiꞌ, xane ri jaꞌ ri kutijo kux na jun kꞌiyibꞌal jaꞌ ri kapulinik ri kuya kꞌaslemal ri maj ukꞌisik. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
Ri ixoq xubꞌij che: Tat, ya la we ri joron riꞌ rech man kinpe ta chik waral chi resaxik nujaꞌ xuqujeꞌ rech man kachaqiꞌj ta chik nuchiꞌ.
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che ri ixoq: Jaꞌsikꞌij bꞌa loq ri awachajil, kꞌa te riꞌ chattzalij loq waral.
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
Ri ixoq xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Maj wachajil in. Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Qas tzij laꞌ le xabꞌij chi maj awachajil.
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
Jeriꞌ rumal e kꞌolinaq kanoq e jobꞌ awachajil xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌo awukꞌ kamik man are taj awachajil, qas tzij laꞌ le xabꞌij.
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
Ri ixoq xubꞌij: Tat, chanim kinchꞌobꞌo chi lal qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
Ri qamam uj ojer xeqꞌijilaꞌn puꞌwiꞌ we juyubꞌ riꞌ, are kꞌu ri ix, ix aj Israel kibꞌij chi pa Jerusalén rajawaxik kixqꞌijilaꞌn wi.
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Ixoq, chakojo ri kinbꞌij. Kuꞌriqa na jun qꞌij are man kabꞌan ta chik ri qꞌijilaꞌnem che ri Tataxel Dios, puꞌwiꞌ we juyubꞌ riꞌ, xa ta ne pa Jerusalén kabꞌan wi qꞌijilaꞌnem.
22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Ix kiqꞌijilaꞌj ri man iwetaꞌm taj uwach, ri uj kꞌut kaqaqꞌijilaꞌj ri qetaꞌm uwach, jeriꞌ rumal ri kolotajem kukꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel petinaq wi.
23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
Xqebꞌ kꞌu loq ri qꞌij xuqujeꞌ xopan ri qꞌotaj are taq ri qas e qꞌijilaꞌnelabꞌ kakiya na uqꞌij ri Tataxel Dios pa ri Uxlabꞌixel xuqujeꞌ qas tzij kekꞌojiꞌk, rumal jeriꞌ karaj ri Tataxel kabꞌanik.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Ri Dios are uxlabꞌal, rajawaxik xuqujeꞌ chi ri e qꞌijilaꞌj taq rech kakiqꞌijilaꞌj pa ri uxlabꞌal xuqujeꞌ qas tzij kekꞌojiꞌk.
25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
Ri ixoq xubꞌij che: Wetaꞌm chi kape na ri Mesías ri kabꞌix Cristo che. Are kape riꞌ areꞌ, kubꞌij na chaqe jas ubꞌanik we jastaq riꞌ.
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: In riꞌ, ri tajin kintzijon awukꞌ.
27 Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
Qas jeꞌ riꞌ tajin kubꞌij are xoꞌpan ri utijoxelabꞌ, xemayijanik rumal tajin katzijon rukꞌ jun ixoq, maj kꞌu jun xtow chike: ¿Jas kaj la che le ixoq? O ¿jas katzijoj la rukꞌ?
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
Ri ixoq xuya kanoq ri uqꞌebꞌal, xtzalij pa ri tinimit, xubꞌij chike ri winaq:
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
Chixanloq, jiliwila jun achi ri xubꞌij chwe ronojel ri nubꞌanom. ¿La man are waꞌ ri kabꞌix Cristo che?
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Ri winaq xeꞌl bꞌik pa ri tinimit, xeꞌkila ri Jesús.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
Are majaꞌ koꞌpan ri winaq, ri tijoxelabꞌ xkibꞌij che ri Jesús: Ajtij, woꞌq la.
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri in kꞌo jun jaswe tijowik rij ri man iwetaꞌm ta ix uwach.
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
Ri tijoxelabꞌ xkichapleꞌj utayik chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: ¿La kꞌo ta kꞌu jun xkꞌamow loq jun jas rech tijowik rij?
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Are nuwa in ri ubꞌanik ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri xintaqow loq xuqujeꞌ kinkꞌis kanoq ubꞌanik ri uchak.
35 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
¿La man kꞌu kibꞌij ix: “Karaj na kajibꞌ ikꞌ che ri yakoj”? Ri in kꞌut kinbꞌij chiꞌwe: ¡Chijaqa ri ibꞌoqꞌoch, chikaꞌyej ronojel ri tikoꞌn! Xutzirik.
36 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Ri winaq ri kabꞌanow ri yakoj kukꞌamawaꞌj na ri tojbꞌal rech, xuqujeꞌ ri yakoj ri kubꞌano rech jun kꞌaslemal ri maj ukꞌisik. Ri ajtikolobꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri kabꞌanow ri yakoj junam kekiꞌkotik. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
Jeriꞌ rumal kꞌo jun tzij kubꞌij: “Jun kabꞌanow ri tikoꞌn, jun chi wi ri kabꞌanow ri yakoj.”
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
Ri in xixintaq bꞌik chuyakik ri man xiriq taj kꞌax chutikik. E nikꞌaj wi ri xeqꞌiꞌtajik, e nikꞌaj wi ri xechakunik, ri ix kꞌut xaq xwi kiꞌtzukuj loq uwach ri chak ri bꞌantajinaq chi kanoq.
39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”
E kꞌi chike ri winaq aꞌj Samaria xekojon che ri Jesús rumal xkita ri xubꞌij ri ixoq: Areꞌ xubꞌij chwe ronojel ri nubꞌanom.
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
Jeriꞌ are xoꞌpan ri aꞌj Samaria rukꞌ ri Jesús xkibꞌij che chi kakanaj kan kukꞌ. Ri Jesús xkanaj kanoq chilaꞌ kebꞌ qꞌij.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
E kꞌi winaq xekojon chi na che ri Jesús rumal ri xubꞌij areꞌ chike.
42 They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
Xkibꞌij kꞌu che ri ixoq: Man xwi taj kujkojonik rumal ri xabꞌij chaqe xane rumal ri xqatatabꞌej uj rukꞌ ri qaxikin, xqetaꞌmaj chi are waꞌ ri Kolonel kech konojel ri winaq rech ri uwachulew.
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
Are xikꞌow ri kebꞌ qꞌij, ri Jesús xel bꞌik pa ri tinimit Samaria, xeꞌ pa Galilea.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
(Jeriꞌ, rumal ri Jesús ubꞌim chi xa ta ne jun qꞌalajisal tzij kaya uqꞌij pa ri tinimit ri kel wi.)
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
Are xopan pa Galilea utz xbꞌan chukꞌamawaꞌxik kumal ri winaq aꞌj chilaꞌ, jeriꞌ rumal kilom ronojel ri xubꞌan pa Jerusalén pa ri nimaqꞌij Pascua.
46 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xtzalij chik ri Jesús pa Caná rech Galilea, chilaꞌ xukꞌex wi ri jaꞌ pa vino. Kꞌo kꞌut jun ukꞌojol ri jun rajchak ri qꞌatal tzij yawabꞌ je laꞌ pa ri tinimit Capernaúm.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
Are xretaꞌmaj ri achi, utat ri yawabꞌ, chi xopan ri Jesús pa Galilea, upetik pa Judea, xeꞌ chutzukuxik. Are xuriqo, xuta toqꞌobꞌ che rech keꞌ chukunaxik ri ukꞌojol rumal xa jubꞌiqꞌ karaj kakamik.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Ri ix man kixkojon ta wi la we man kiwil kꞌutbꞌal xuqujeꞌ etal.
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Ri ajchak rech ri qꞌatal tzij xubꞌij che ri Jesús: Wajaw, bꞌana la toqꞌobꞌ, oj la cho ri wachoch rech man kakam taj ri nukꞌojol.
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che ri achi: Chattzalij cho awachoch, man kakam taj ri akꞌojol. Xukoj ri achi ri xbꞌix che rumal ri Jesús, kꞌa te riꞌ xtzalij cho rachoch.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
Are bꞌenaq ri achi cho rachoch, xeꞌl loq ri e rajchakibꞌ chukꞌulaxik pa ri bꞌe, xkibꞌij che chi man xkam taj ri ukꞌojol xane xkꞌasiꞌk xuqujeꞌ xutzirik.
52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
Ri achi xuta chike jas qꞌotaj xutzir ri ukꞌojol. Ri ajchakibꞌ xkibꞌij: Iwir qas jun hora ikꞌowinaq che ri unikꞌajil qꞌij xel bꞌik ri qꞌaqꞌ che.
53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
Naꞌtaj kꞌu che ri utat ri akꞌal chi qas che riꞌ ri qꞌotaj riꞌ, xubꞌij ri Jesús che: “Ri akꞌojol kakꞌasiꞌ na.” Jeriꞌ konojel ri e kꞌo rukꞌ ri achi pa ri rachoch xekojon che ri Jesús.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
Are waꞌ ri ukabꞌ etal ri xubꞌan ri Jesús are xtzalij loq pa Galilea upetik pa Judea.
