John 1
1 From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God and was God.
Pa ri majibꞌal tzi kꞌo chi wi ri Tzij, ri Tzij kꞌo rukꞌ ri Dios, ri Tzij are Dios xuqujeꞌ.
2 This Word was from the first in relation with God.
Ri Tzij kꞌo wi loq rukꞌ ri Dios pa ri majibꞌal rech ronojel.
3 All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was.
Rumal rech Areꞌ xbꞌan ronojel ri jastaq, we ta mat rumal rech areꞌ mat xbꞌan ronojel ri jastaq ri kꞌolik.
4 What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Pa Areꞌ kꞌo wi loq ri kꞌaslemal, xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌaslemal are kitunal ri winaq.
5 And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark.
Are waꞌ ri tunal ri katunan pa ri qꞌequꞌmal, man kwininaq taj ri qꞌequꞌmal chuchupisaxik.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Kꞌo jun achi ri xtaq loq rumal ri Dios, ubꞌiꞌnam Juan.
7 He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.
Xtaq loq chuqꞌalajisaxik ri tunal, rech rumal re kekojon konojel ri winaq.
8 He himself was not the light: he was sent to give witness about the light.
Man are taj tunal ri Juan, xwi xpe che uqꞌalajisaxik ri Tunal.
9 The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the world.
Ri qas tzij tunal, ri kuꞌtunaj konojel winaq, xpe choch ri uwachulew.
10 He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him.
Ri tunal kꞌo chi wi choch ri uwachulew, are xtikow ronojel ri uwachulew, ri winaq kꞌut aꞌjuwachulew man xkichꞌobꞌ taj uwach ri Tzij.
11 He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts.
Xpe rukꞌ ri e rech, ri e rech man xkikꞌamawaꞌj taj.
12 To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God — that is, to those who had faith in his name:
Are kꞌu ri xkikꞌamawaꞌj ri Tzij, ri xekojon che, xyaꞌtaj chike xuꞌx e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios.
13 Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire.
We riꞌ man xkꞌiy ta loq che winaq xuqujeꞌ man xaq ta kꞌa teꞌ xkꞌiy loq, man urayibꞌal achi taj, xane che ri Dios xkꞌiy wi loq.
14 And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory — such glory as is given to an only son by his father — saw it to be true and full of grace.
Ri Tzij xux winaq, xkꞌojiꞌk chiqaxoꞌl. Xqil ri ujuluwem, are ujuluwem ri xa jun uKꞌojol ri Tataxel Dios, nojinaq che toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ qas tzij.
15 John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.
Ri Juan xuqꞌalajisaj rij ri uKꞌojol ri Dios are xubꞌij: Areꞌ wa ri nutzijom loq chiꞌwe, are xinbꞌij: “Ri teren loq chwij, sibꞌalaj nim na chinuwach in, rumal cher kꞌo wi loq nabꞌe chinuwach in.”
16 From his full measure we have all been given grace on grace.
Che ri uqꞌinomal qonojel uj xqakꞌamawaꞌj toqꞌobꞌ puꞌwiꞌ toqꞌobꞌ.
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.
Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri taqanik che ri Moisés xya wi, are kꞌu ri toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri qas tzij are ri Jesucristo xyoꞌw chaqe.
18 No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.
Man kꞌo ta wi jun winaq ilowinaq uwach ri Dios. Xwi ri xa jun ukꞌojol ri Dios, ri kꞌo uriqoj ibꞌ rukꞌ ri Tataxel, Areꞌ xkꞌutuw ri Dios chiqawach.
19 And this is the witness of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him with the question, Who are you?
Are waꞌ ri xubꞌij ri Juan chike ri e rijaꞌl ri Leví xuqujeꞌ ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ choch ri Dios ri xetaq bꞌik kumal ri winaq chutayik che jachin ri areꞌ.
20 He said quite openly and straightforwardly, I am not the Christ.
Man xrawaj taj uqꞌalajisaxik, xane xubꞌij: Man in taj in Cristo.
21 And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not.
Ri winaq xkita che: ¿Jachin kꞌu ri at? ¿La at kꞌut at Elías? Man in taj, xchaꞌ. ¿La at kꞌut ri at qꞌalajisal tzij? Man in ta xuqujeꞌ, xchaꞌ.
22 So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?
¿Jachin kꞌu ri at? xecha che. Choqꞌaqꞌ kaqetaꞌmaj rech keꞌqabꞌij chike ri xujtaqow loq.
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the waste land, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
Ri Juan xukoj ri utzij ri qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios Isaías, are xubꞌij: Uchꞌabꞌal jun winaq ri kuraq uchiꞌ pa ri katzꞌinow ulew, kubꞌij: “Chisukꞌumaj ri ubꞌe ri Ajawxel.”
24 Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees.
E kꞌo jujun winaq ri xetaq bꞌik kumal ri fariseos.
25 And they put this question to him, saying, Why then are you giving baptism if you are not the Christ, or Elijah, or the prophet?
Xkita che: ¿Jas kꞌu che kabꞌan qasanaꞌ we man at at Cristo, man at taj at Elías xuqujeꞌ man at taj ri at Qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios?
26 John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;
Ri Juan xubꞌij: Ri in kinbꞌan qasanaꞌ rukꞌ jaꞌ. Kꞌo kꞌu jun ri kꞌo chi ixoꞌl ri man iwetaꞌm taj uwach.
27 It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.
Areꞌ teren loq chwij, man taqal taj chwe in kinkir ri jatꞌibꞌal rech ri uxajabꞌ.
28 These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism.
Ronojel we jastaq riꞌ xkꞌulmataj pa ri tinimit Betania, chꞌaqaꞌp che ri nimaꞌ Jordán, jawjeꞌ tajin kubꞌan wi qasanaꞌ ri Juan.
29 The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
Chukabꞌ qꞌij ri Juan xril ri Jesús are tajin kanaqajin loq che, xubꞌij: ¡Chiwilampeꞌ! ¡Are waꞌ ri alaj uchij ri Dios ri karesaj makaj choch ronojel ri uwachulew!
30 This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me.
Are waꞌ ri xintzijoj are xinbꞌij chiꞌwe: “Teren loq jun achi ri chwij ri nim ubꞌanik chinuwach, jeriꞌ rumal tzi kꞌo wi loq Areꞌ, are kꞌa majaꞌ kinkꞌojiꞌ in.”
31 I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.
Man wetaꞌm ta in uwach nabꞌe, xinbꞌan kꞌu kiqasanaꞌ ri winaq pa jaꞌ, rech jeriꞌ kukꞌut ribꞌ chikiwach.
32 And John gave this witness, saying, I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and resting on him.
Ri Juan xubꞌij: Ri in xinwilo ri Uxlabꞌixel jer xubꞌan jun palomax xqaj loq puꞌwiꞌ ri Areꞌ.
33 I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.
Man wetaꞌm ta in uwach nabꞌe, are kꞌu ri xintaqow loq chubꞌanik qasanaꞌ pa jaꞌ xubꞌij chwe: “Ri kawilo kaqaj ri Uxlabꞌixel puꞌwiꞌ are riꞌ ri kabꞌanow qasanaꞌ rukꞌ ri Uxlabꞌixel.”
34 This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.
Ri in wilom we riꞌ rumal riꞌ kinqꞌalajisaj chi areꞌ are uKꞌojol ri Dios.
35 The day after, John was there again with two of his disciples;
Che ri jun qꞌij chik ri Juan junmul chik kꞌo chilaꞌ, e rachiꞌl kebꞌ chike ri utijoxelabꞌ.
36 And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God!
Are xrilo chi tajin kikꞌow bꞌik ri Jesús chilaꞌ, xubꞌij: ¡Chiwilampeꞌ! Chi riꞌ kꞌo wi we alaj uchij ri Dios ri kukuy makaj.
37 Hearing what he said, the two disciples went after Jesus.
Are xkita ri e kebꞌ utijoxelabꞌ ri Juan chi jeriꞌ xubꞌij, xeteriꞌ bꞌik chirij ri Jesús.
38 And Jesus, turning round, saw them coming after him and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, Master), where are you living?
Xtzalqꞌomij ri Jesús, kꞌa te xeꞌrilo e teren ri kebꞌ tijoxelabꞌ chirij, xuta chike: ¿Jas kitzukuj? Areꞌ xkibꞌij: Ajtij, ¿jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi ri achoch la?
39 He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Chixanloq jiliwilaꞌ. Ri tijoxelabꞌ xebꞌek, xeꞌkilaꞌ jawjeꞌ kel wi ri Jesús, kꞌa te riꞌ xekanaj kan jun aqꞌabꞌ chilaꞌ, rumal cher ukaj hora chik rech bꞌenaq qꞌij.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.
Ri Andrés rachalal ri Simón Pedro, jun chike ri e kebꞌ tijoxelabꞌ, xuta ri xubꞌij ri Juan, rumal riꞌ xutereneꞌj bꞌik ri Jesús.
41 Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! (which is to say, the Christ).
Ri Andrés are xuriq ri rachalal, Simón xubꞌij che. Xqarik ri Mesías, (ri kel kubꞌij Cristo).
42 And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).
Ri Andrés xukꞌam bꞌik ri rachalal rukꞌ ri Jesús, ri Jesús ko xukaꞌyej ri Simón, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij che: At Simón, ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Juan, kabꞌinaꞌj na Cefas, (ri kel kubꞌij Pedro).
43 The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.
Chukabꞌ qꞌij chik, ri Jesús xuchomaj keꞌ pa Galilea. Xuriq kꞌu ri Felipe, xubꞌij che: Chinatereneꞌj.
44 Now Philip's town was Beth-saida, where Andrew and Peter came from.
Ri Felipe aj Betsaida, je xuqujeꞌ ri Andrés rachiꞌl ri Pedro.
45 Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
Ri Felipe xeꞌ chutzukuxik ri Natanael, are xuriqo xubꞌij che: Xqarik ri Jesús aj Nazaret, ukꞌojol ri José, are waꞌ ri xtzꞌibꞌax loq rij chupam ri wuj rech taqanik rech ri Moisés xuqujeꞌ chupam ri wuj kech ri e qꞌalajisal taq tzij rech ri Dios.
46 Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.
Ri Natanael xubꞌij: ¿Che aj Nazaret we achi riꞌ? ¿La kꞌo kꞌu jun utza winaq kel chilaꞌ? Ri Felipe xubꞌij che: Chatampe loq, jalawilaꞌ.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.
Ri Jesús are xrilo chi tajin kaqebꞌ loq ri Natanael rukꞌ, xubꞌij: Waral kꞌo wi jun achi qas aj Israel, man kubꞌan taj bꞌanoj tzij.
48 Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.
Ri Natanael xuta che ri Jesús: ¿Jawjeꞌ ilom wi la nuwach? Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Xatinwilo are majaꞌ katusikꞌij ri Felipe, at kꞌo chuxeꞌ ri ucheꞌal ri higuera.
49 Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!
Ri Natanael xubꞌij: Rabí, at at Ukꞌojol ri Dios, at nim taqanel pa ri tinimit Israel.
50 In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: ¿La rumal ri xinbꞌij chawe chi xatinwilo are at kꞌo chuxeꞌ ri ucheꞌal ri higuera rumal riꞌ kakojo chi in in Ukꞌojol ri Dios? Kawil na nimaq taq jastaq choch we riꞌ.
51 And he said to him, Truly I say to you all, You will see heaven opening and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of man.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi kiwil na kajaqataj ri kaj, xuqujeꞌ ri angelibꞌ kepaqiꞌk kexuliꞌk puꞌwiꞌ ri uKꞌojol ri Achi.
