< 1 John 1 >

1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
Ri kꞌo wi loq are majoꞌq katik ronojel ri jastaq, ri xqato, ri xqil rukꞌ ri qabꞌoqꞌoch, ri qas xqachap rukꞌ ri qaqꞌabꞌ, ri tzij ri kuya kꞌaslemal, are waꞌ ri kaqatzijoj chiꞌwe.
2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us; ) (aiōnios g166)
We kꞌaslemal riꞌ xukꞌut ribꞌ chiqawach rumal waꞌ kaqatzijoj xuqujeꞌ kaqaqꞌalajisaj chiꞌwe ri jun alik kꞌaslemal ri ojer kꞌo rukꞌ ri Tataxel Dios. (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Kaqatzijoj chiꞌwe ri xqilo xuqujeꞌ xqato rech kꞌo qariqoj ibꞌ iwukꞌ, xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ri Tataxel Dios, rachiꞌl ri ukꞌojol Jesucristo.
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
Kaqatzꞌibꞌaj we jastaq riꞌ chiꞌwe rech qas katzꞌaqat ri qakiꞌkotemal.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Are waꞌ ri tzij ri xubꞌij ri Cristo chaqe, rumal riꞌ kaqatzijoj chiꞌwe: Ri Dios are tunal, maj qꞌequꞌmal rukꞌ Areꞌ.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
We kaqabꞌij chi kꞌo qariqoj ibꞌ rukꞌ ri Cristo kꞌa te riꞌ xaq jeꞌ uj kꞌo pa ri qꞌequꞌmal, xaq uj bꞌanal taq tzij riꞌ, man tajin ta kaqanimaj ri Dios.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
We uj kꞌo pa ri tunal, jacha ri Cristo kꞌo pa ri tunal, kꞌo qariqoj ibꞌ riꞌ kukꞌ nikꞌaj chik, xuqujeꞌ ri ukikꞌel ri Cristo, ukꞌojol ri Dios are kujchꞌajchꞌobꞌen che ronojel uwach mak.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
We kaqabꞌij chi maj qamak, uj bꞌanal taq tzij riꞌ, man uj kꞌo ta riꞌ pa ri qas tzij.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
We kaqatzujuj qibꞌ che ri qamak, ri Dios ri sibꞌalaj sukꞌ ri kubꞌano ri kubꞌij, kujukuy na xuqujeꞌ kujuchꞌajchꞌobꞌej na che ronojel uwach etzelal.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
We kaqabꞌij chi man uj makuninaq taj, tajin kaqabꞌij riꞌ chi ri Dios xaq bꞌanal tzij, xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta riꞌ ri utzij pa qanimaꞌ.
