< John 1 >

1 B'resheet ·In the beginning of the beginning· was ha D'var ·the Word·, and ha D'var ·the Word· was with God, and ha D'var ·the Word· was God.
Pa ri majibꞌal tzi kꞌo chi wi ri Tzij, ri Tzij kꞌo rukꞌ ri Dios, ri Tzij are Dios xuqujeꞌ.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Ri Tzij kꞌo wi loq rukꞌ ri Dios pa ri majibꞌal rech ronojel.
3 All things came to be through him and without him nothing made had being.
Rumal rech Areꞌ xbꞌan ronojel ri jastaq, we ta mat rumal rech areꞌ mat xbꞌan ronojel ri jastaq ri kꞌolik.
4 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 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Are waꞌ ri tunal ri katunan pa ri qꞌequꞌmal, man kwininaq taj ri qꞌequꞌmal chuchupisaxik.
6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John [Yah is gracious].
Kꞌo jun achi ri xtaq loq rumal ri Dios, ubꞌiꞌnam Juan.
7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Xtaq loq chuqꞌalajisaxik ri tunal, rech rumal re kekojon konojel ri winaq.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Man are taj tunal ri Juan, xwi xpe che uqꞌalajisaxik ri Tunal.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Ri qas tzij tunal, ri kuꞌtunaj konojel winaq, xpe choch ri uwachulew.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize 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 his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
Xpe rukꞌ ri e rech, ri e rech man xkikꞌamawaꞌj taj.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:
Are kꞌu ri xkikꞌamawaꞌj ri Tzij, ri xekojon che, xyaꞌtaj chike xuꞌx e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios.
13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
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 Ha D'var ·The Word· became flesh, and tabernacled among us. We saw his shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God·, such shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God· as of the one and only Son of the Abba ·Father·, full of grace and truth.
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 [Yah is gracious] testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was 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 fullness we all received grace upon grace.
Che ri uqꞌinomal qonojel uj xqakꞌamawaꞌj toqꞌobꞌ puꞌwiꞌ toqꞌobꞌ.
17 For the Torah ·Teaching· was given through Moses [Drawn out]; grace and truth came through Yeshua Messiah [Salvation Anointed one].
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 one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, he has declared him.
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 This is John [Yah is gracious]’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites [Descendants of United with] from Jerusalem [City of peace] to ask him, “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 declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Messiah [Anointed one].”
Man xrawaj taj uqꞌalajisaxik, xane xubꞌij: Man in taj in Cristo.
21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah [My God Yah]?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
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 They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you 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 wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of MarYah [Master Yahweh],’ as Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] the prophet said.”
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 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees [Separated].
E kꞌo jujun winaq ri xetaq bꞌik kumal ri fariseos.
25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Messiah [Anointed one], nor Elijah [My God Yah], nor 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 [Yah is gracious] answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
Ri Juan xubꞌij: Ri in kinbꞌan qasanaꞌ rukꞌ jaꞌ. Kꞌo kꞌu jun ri kꞌo chi ixoꞌl ri man iwetaꞌm taj uwach.
27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
Areꞌ teren loq chwij, man taqal taj chwe in kinkir ri jatꞌibꞌal rech ri uxajabꞌ.
28 These things were done in Bethany [House of affliction] beyond the Jordan [Descender], where John [Yah is gracious] was baptizing.
Ronojel we jastaq riꞌ xkꞌulmataj pa ri tinimit Betania, chꞌaqaꞌp che ri nimaꞌ Jordán, jawjeꞌ tajin kubꞌan wi qasanaꞌ ri Juan.
29 The next day, he saw Yeshua [Salvation] coming to him, and said, “Behold, 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, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was 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 didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel [God prevails].”
Man wetaꞌm ta in uwach nabꞌe, xinbꞌan kꞌu kiqasanaꞌ ri winaq pa jaꞌ, rech jeriꞌ kukꞌut ribꞌ chikiwach.
32 John [Yah is gracious] testified, saying, “I have seen haRuach [the Spirit] descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
Ri Juan xubꞌij: Ri in xinwilo ri Uxlabꞌixel jer xubꞌan jun palomax xqaj loq puꞌwiꞌ ri Areꞌ.
33 I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, ‘On whomever you will see haRuach [the Spirit] descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in Ruach haKodesh [Spirit of the Holiness].’
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 I have seen, and have testified that this is the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.”
Ri in wilom we riꞌ rumal riꞌ kinqꞌalajisaj chi areꞌ are uKꞌojol ri Dios.
35 Again, the next day, John [Yah is gracious] was standing with two of his disciples,
Che ri jun qꞌij chik ri Juan junmul chik kꞌo chilaꞌ, e rachiꞌl kebꞌ chike ri utijoxelabꞌ.
36 and he looked at Yeshua [Salvation] as he walked, and said, “Behold, 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 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Yeshua [Salvation].
Are xkita ri e kebꞌ utijoxelabꞌ ri Juan chi jeriꞌ xubꞌij, xeteriꞌ bꞌik chirij ri Jesús.
38 Yeshua [Salvation] turned, and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”
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 came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.
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 One of the two who heard John [Yah is gracious], and followed him, was Andrew [Manly], Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock]’s brother.
Ri Andrés rachalal ri Simón Pedro, jun chike ri e kebꞌ tijoxelabꞌ, xuta ri xubꞌij ri Juan, rumal riꞌ xutereneꞌj bꞌik ri Jesús.
41 He first found his own brother, Simeon [Hearing], and said to him, “We have found the Messiah [Anointed one]!” (which is, being interpreted, Moshiach ·Anointed one·).
Ri Andrés are xuriq ri rachalal, Simón xubꞌij che. Xqarik ri Mesías, (ri kel kubꞌij Cristo).
42 He brought him to Yeshua [Salvation]. Yeshua [Salvation] looked at him, and said, “You are Simeon [Hearing] the son of Jonah [Dove]. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter [Rock]).
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 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee [District, Circuit], and he found Philip [Loves horses]. Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Follow me.”
Chukabꞌ qꞌij chik, ri Jesús xuchomaj keꞌ pa Galilea. Xuriq kꞌu ri Felipe, xubꞌij che: Chinatereneꞌj.
44 Now Philip [Loves horses] was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew [Manly] and Peter [Rock].
Ri Felipe aj Betsaida, je xuqujeꞌ ri Andrés rachiꞌl ri Pedro.
45 Philip [Loves horses] found Nathanael [Given by God], and said to him, “We have found the one that Moses [Drawn out] wrote about in the Torah ·Teaching·, and the Prophets— it is Yeshua [Salvation] son of Joseph [May he add] from Nazareth [Branch, Separated one].”
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 Nathanael [Given by God] said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one]?” Philip [Loves horses] 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 Yeshua [Salvation] saw Nathanael [Given by God] coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite [Descendant of God prevails] indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
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 [Given by God] said to him, “How do you know me?” Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “Before Philip [Loves horses] called you, when you were 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 [Given by God] answered him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, you are the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·! You are Melek Isra'el [King of God prevails]!”
Ri Natanael xubꞌij: Rabí, at at Ukꞌojol ri Dios, at nim taqanel pa ri tinimit Israel.
50 Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? 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 He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending 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.
