3 John 1
1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
Ri kꞌamal bꞌe che ri alaxik Gayo ri kinloqꞌaj pa ri qas tzij.
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
Loqꞌalaj wachalal, kinbꞌan chꞌawem paꞌwiꞌ rech utz keꞌl chawach ronojel ri kabꞌano, jacha ta ne ri awanimaꞌ utz bꞌenaq, xuqujeꞌ rech kꞌo rutzil awach.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
Sibꞌalaj xinkiꞌkotik are xuꞌl nikꞌaj alaxik xulkitzijoj chi ko at kꞌolik pa ri qas tzij xuqujeꞌ tajin kichakubꞌej ri jastaq rech ri qas tzij.
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
Man kꞌo ta jun jastaq ri kuya sibꞌalaj nim kiꞌkotemal chwe choch ri kinto chi ri aꞌwalkꞌwaꞌl kakibꞌan ri jastaq rech ri qas tzij.
5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
Loqꞌalaj wachalal, utz ri tajin kabꞌan chkilixik ri aꞌlaxik pune man awetaꞌm kiwach.
6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
We alaxik riꞌ xkitzijoj chike ri komontyox ri xabꞌan chukꞌutik ri aloqꞌanik chikiwach. Utz ri tajin kabꞌano rumal tajin kaꞌtoꞌo rech kakitaqej ri kibꞌinem jetaq ri karaj ri Dios.
7 Because that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
Xa rumal cher kakiloqꞌaj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel rumal ri e bꞌenaq man kikꞌamom ta jun jastaq chike ri man e kojonelabꞌ taj.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
Rumal riꞌ choqꞌaqꞌ wi keꞌqatoꞌo, rech jeriꞌ kujtobꞌan kukꞌ chutzijoxik ri qas tzij.
9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
In xintzꞌibꞌaj bꞌi jun wuj che ri komontyox, are kꞌu ri Diótrefes, ri karaj kux nabꞌe pa ronojel ri jastaq, xukꞌopij ribꞌ che ri xintzꞌibꞌaj bꞌik.
10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth [them] out of the church.
Rumal riꞌ, are kinopan je laꞌ kukꞌ kinbꞌij na chupalaj ri kanoꞌjinik rumal cher kubꞌij tzij chaqe ri man kꞌo ta pa ubꞌeꞌl usukꞌ, man xaq xwi ta riꞌ kubꞌano xane man karaj ta xuqujeꞌ kuꞌkꞌamawaꞌj ri aꞌlaxik ri kepe pa taq nikꞌaj komontyox chik, xuqujeꞌ man kuya ta bꞌe chike ri alaxik keꞌkikꞌamawaꞌj ri alaxik, we jeriꞌ kakibꞌano keꞌresaj bꞌi pa ri komontyox.
11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
Loqꞌalaj wachalal, mawesaj kiwach ri kakibꞌan etzelal xane are chawesaj kiwach ri kakibꞌan ri utzilal. Ri kubꞌan utzilal rech ri Dios riꞌ, are kꞌu ri kubꞌan etzelal man rilom ta uwach riꞌ ri Dios.
12 Demetrius hath good report of all [men], and of the truth itself: yea, and we [also] bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
Konojel kakibꞌij chi ri alaxik Demetrio utz kanoꞌjinik. Utz ketzijon konojel ri winaq che, ri utzij ri Dios utz xuqujeꞌ katzijon che. Uj xuqujeꞌ kaqabꞌij chi utz kanoꞌjinik, awetaꞌm chi man kaqabꞌan taj bꞌanoj tzij.
13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
Kꞌi jastaq kawaj kintzꞌibꞌaj bꞌi chawe, man kawaj ta kꞌut kintzꞌibꞌaj rukꞌ cheꞌ tzꞌibꞌabꞌal rachiꞌl tinta,
14 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace [be] to thee. [Our] friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
rumal cher kawaj kinwil awach aninaq rech jeriꞌ kujtzijonik. Ri jaꞌmaril kakanaj kan awukꞌ. Konojel ri awach chꞌabꞌeꞌn waral kakitaq bꞌi rutzil awach. Chaya rutzil kiwach konojel ri awach chꞌabꞌeꞌn ri e kꞌo awukꞌ.
