1 John 4

1 Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they be of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Loqꞌalaj taq qachalal, mikoj rech xapachin ri kubꞌij chiꞌwe chi are ri Uxlabꞌixel kachꞌaw che, xane qas chichꞌobꞌo rij we qas rech ri Dios ri kubꞌij, rumal cher sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq xeꞌl loq cho ri uwachulew ri kakijaluj chi e qꞌalajisal taj utzij ri Dios.

2 By this is the spirit of God known. Every spirit which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God:

Ri qꞌalajisal tzij ri kubꞌij chi ri Jesucristo xpe cho ri uwachulew pa tyoꞌjal rech winaq, qas rech wi ri Dios.

3 And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus, is not of God: and this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh, and he is now already in the world.

Ri qꞌalajisal tzij ri kubꞌij chi ri Jesús man rech ta ri Dios, man ralkꞌwaꞌl taj ri Dios riꞌ xane ralkꞌwaꞌl ri esal uwach ri Cristo, itom loq chi ri esal uwach ri Cristo kape na, qas kꞌo chi kꞌu wi choch ri uwachulew.

4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome him. Because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Loqꞌalaj taq walkꞌwaꞌl, ix ix rech ri Dios xuqujeꞌ xixchꞌeken pa kiwiꞌ ri kakijaluj chi e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios, jeriꞌ rumal sibꞌalaj nim uchuqꞌabꞌ ri kꞌo iwukꞌ ix, cho ri kꞌo kukꞌ ri winaq ri ajuwachulew.

5 They are of the world: therefore of the world they speak, and the world heareth them.

Ri winaq kakitzijoj ri jastaq jetaq ri kakichomaj aꞌreꞌ, rumal cher e rech ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ajuwachulew utz keꞌkito.

6 We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth us. He that is not of God, heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Ri uj uj rech ri Dios, konojel ri winaq ri ketaꞌm uwach ri Dios kakitatabꞌej ri kaqabꞌij; ri winaq ri man e rech ta ri Dios man kutatabꞌej ta ri kaqabꞌij. Jeriꞌ kaqabꞌan chi retaꞌmaxik jachin chike ri uxlabꞌal rech ri qas tzij xuqujeꞌ jachin ri uxlabꞌal rech bꞌanal tzij.

7 Dearly beloved, let us love one another, for charity is of God. And every one that loveth, is born of God, and knoweth God.

Loqꞌalaj taq qachalal, qaloqꞌaj qibꞌ chiqajujunal, rumal che ri loqꞌanik rukꞌ ri Dios kape wi. Ri winaq ri kaloqꞌanik, retaꞌm uwach ri Dios riꞌ xuqujeꞌ che ri Dios petinaq wi.

8 He that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is charity.

Jachin ri man kaloqꞌan taj man retaꞌm ta uwach ri Dios riꞌ, jeriꞌ rumal ri Dios areꞌ loqꞌanik.

9 By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by him.

Ri Dios xukꞌut ri uloqꞌanik chiqawach are xutaq loq ri xa jun ukꞌojol cho ri uwachulew rech xa rumal areꞌ kayaꞌtaj na jun alik qakꞌaslemal.

10 In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

Ri loqꞌanik man are taj chi xqaloqꞌaj uj nabꞌe ri Dios, xane Areꞌ xujuloqꞌaj xuqujeꞌ xutaq loq ri xa jun ukꞌojol rech xjach pa kamikal rumal ri qamak.

11 My dearest, if God hath so loved us; we also ought to love one another.

Loqꞌalaj taq wachalal, we ujuloqꞌam uj ri Dios, qaloqꞌaj xuqujeꞌ qibꞌ uj chiqajujunal.

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his charity is perfected in us.

Maj jun ilowinaq ri Dios, we kꞌu kaqaloqꞌaj qibꞌ chiqajujunal kꞌo riꞌ ri Dios pa qanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ kꞌo riꞌ ri uloqꞌanik chiqaxoꞌl.

13 In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us: because he hath given us of his spirit.

Ri Uxlabꞌixel ri kꞌo pa qanimaꞌ are kakꞌutuwik chi uj kꞌo pa Cristo xuqujeꞌ ri Cristo kꞌo pa qanimaꞌ.

14 And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world.

Ri uj xqilo xuqujeꞌ kaqatzijoj chi ri Tataxel Dios xutaq loq ri ukꞌojol chkikolik ri winaq ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew.

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.

Ri kuqꞌalajisaj chi ri Jesús are ukꞌojol ri Dios, we winaq riꞌ kꞌo pa Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Dios kꞌo pa ranimaꞌ areꞌ.

16 And we have known, and have believed the charity, which God hath to us. God is charity: and he that abideth in charity, abideth in God, and God in him.

Ri uj xqetaꞌmaj xuqujeꞌ kaqakojo chi ri Dios kujuloqꞌaj. Ri Dios are loqꞌanik. Ri kꞌo pa loqꞌanik, kꞌo pa Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Dios kꞌo pa ranimaꞌ ri winaq riꞌ.

17 In this is the charity of God perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment: because as he is, we also are in this world.

We loqꞌanik riꞌ kukꞌut ribꞌ chiqaxoꞌl uj, rech are kuriq ri qꞌij rech qꞌatoj tzij rukꞌ kuꞌlibꞌal kꞌuꞌx kaqakꞌut qibꞌ choch ri Dios, jeriꞌ rumal xqakꞌaslebꞌej ri qakꞌaslemal jacha ri xnoꞌjin ri Jesús. Pa ri loqꞌanik maj xibꞌin ibꞌ.

18 Fear is not in charity: but perfect charity casteth out fear, because fear hath pain. And he that feareth, is not perfected in charity.

Xane ri tzꞌaqatalaj loqꞌanik karesaj bꞌi ri xibꞌin ibꞌ. Ri winaq ri xaq kuxiꞌj ribꞌ che ri kꞌax ri kape puꞌwiꞌ, majaꞌ katzꞌaqat riꞌ pa ri loqꞌanik.

19 Let us therefore love God, because God first hath loved us.

Ri uj kaqaloqꞌaj ri Dios jeriꞌ rumal cher Areꞌ xujuloqꞌaj nabꞌe.

20 If any man say, I love God, and hateth his brother; he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he seeth, how can he love God, whom he seeth not?

We kꞌo jun kubꞌij: Ri in kinloqꞌaj ri Dios, karetzelaj kꞌu uwach ri rachalal, xaq jun bꞌanal tzij riꞌ, rumal che ri winaq ri man kuloqꞌaj taj ri rachalal, ri karil uwach ronojel qꞌij, man kakwin ta riꞌ kuloqꞌaj ri Dios ri man rilom ta uwach.

21 And this commandment we have from God, that he, who loveth God, love also his brother.

Are ri Dios yoꞌwinaq ri taqanik chaqe ri kubꞌij: Ri kuloqꞌaj ri Dios chuloqꞌaj xuqujeꞌ ri rachalal.
