1 John 2
1 My children, I am writing to you to keep you from sinning. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the righteous.
Loqꞌalaj taq walkꞌwaꞌl, kintzꞌibꞌaj we jastaq riꞌ chiꞌwe rech man kixmakun taj. We kꞌu ne kꞌo jun kamakun chiꞌwe, kꞌo jun chꞌawenel pa qawiꞌ choch ri Tataxel Dios, are ri Jesucristo ri sukꞌ.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
Are ri Jesucristo xya pa kamikal rumal ri qamak, man xaq xwi taj rumal ri qamak uj xane xkam xuqujeꞌ rumal ri kimak konojel ri winaq choch ri uwachulew.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
Qetaꞌm uwach riꞌ ri Dios we kaqanimaj ri utaqanik.
4 Whoever says “I know him,” but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Ri winaq ri kubꞌij wetaꞌm uwach ri Dios, kꞌa te riꞌ man kunimaj taj ri utaqanik, xaq bꞌanal tzij, man retaꞌm taj uwach riꞌ ri qas tzij.
5 But the person who keeps God’s word, in them the love of God has indeed reached its perfection. This is how we can be sure we are in him:
Are kꞌu ri uloqꞌanik ri Dios kukꞌut ribꞌ pa ri winaq ri kunimaj ri utz laj tzij. Are waꞌ kakꞌutuwik chi xa jun qaꞌnik rukꞌ ri Dios.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Ri winaq ri kubꞌij chi kꞌo pa Cristo, rajawaxik je kanoꞌjinik jetaq ri xnoꞌjin areꞌ.
7 Dear friends, it is no new command that I am writing to you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. That old command is the message you have already heard.
Loqꞌalaj taq wachalal, man jun kꞌakꞌ taqanik taj ri kintzꞌibꞌaj chiꞌwe, xane ojer chik yaꞌtal loq chiꞌwe. We ojer taqanik riꞌ are ri utzij ri Dios ri xitatabꞌej.
8 Yet, in a way, it is a new command that I am writing to you – which is shown true in Christ’s life and in yours – for the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
Xuqujeꞌ kintzꞌibꞌaj chiꞌwe jun kꞌakꞌ taqanik riꞌ ri kakꞌulmataj na pa Cristo xuqujeꞌ pa taq ri ikꞌaslemal ix, jeriꞌ rumal tajin kasach uwach ri qꞌequꞌmal are tajin katunan chik ri tunal.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Ri winaq ri kubꞌij chi kꞌo pa ri tunal kꞌa te riꞌ karetzelaj uwach ri rachalal, riꞌ pa ri qꞌequꞌmal ri kꞌo wi.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Ri winaq ri kuloqꞌaj ri rachalal pa ri tunal riꞌ kꞌo wiꞌ, maj jun jastaq kaqꞌaten na pa ri ukꞌaslemal.
11 The person who hates is in the dark. They stumble along in the darkness; they do not know where they are going because the darkness blinds them.
Ri karetzelaj ri rachalal, kꞌo ri pa ri qꞌequꞌmal, pa ri qꞌequꞌmal riꞌ kꞌo wi rachoch, man retaꞌm ta riꞌ jawjeꞌ keꞌ wi, rumal ri qꞌequꞌmal karil ta ri ubꞌe.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Kintzꞌibꞌaj we wuj riꞌ chiꞌwe ix alkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ rumal xkuyutaj ri imak pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Cristo.
13 Parents, I am writing to you because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I am writing to you because you have conquered the evil one. Children, I write to you because you have come to know the Father.
Kintzꞌibꞌaj we wuj riꞌ chiꞌwe ix tat nan rumal cher iwetaꞌm loq uwach ri Cristo kꞌo wi loq pa ri majibꞌal rech ronojel. Kintzꞌibꞌaj xuqujeꞌ chiꞌwe ix akꞌal taq alabꞌom, akꞌal taq alitomabꞌ rumal cher xichꞌek ri itzel.
14 Parents, I write to you because you have learned to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I write to you because you are strong, and God’s message is always in your hearts, and you have conquered the evil one.
Kintzꞌibꞌaj chiꞌwe ix tat nan, rumal cher iwetaꞌm uwach ri Dios ri kꞌo wi loq pa ri majibꞌal rech ronojel. Kintzꞌibꞌaj chiꞌwe ix akꞌal taq alabꞌom, akꞌal taq alitomabꞌ rumal cher sibꞌalaj kꞌo ichuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri utzij ri Dios kꞌo pa iwanimaꞌ, xuqujeꞌ xichꞌek ri itzel.
15 Do not love the world or what the world can offer. When anyone loves the world, there is no love for the Father in them.
Meꞌ ikꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ri jastaq rech uwachulew. We jachin kuloqꞌaj ri jastaq rech ri uwachulew, man kꞌo ta riꞌ ri uloqꞌanik ri Tataxel Dios pa ranimaꞌ.
16 For all that the world can offer – the desires for physical pleasure, the enticements to the eye, the arrogance of wealth – belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.
Ronojel ri jastaq rech uwachulew, ri itzel taq urayinik ri tyoꞌjal, ri jiqꞌjatem ri kukaꞌyej ri bꞌoqꞌochaj, ri nimal ri kunaꞌ jun, man rukꞌ taj ri Tataxel Dios kape wi, xane rech ri uwachulew.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
Ri itzel taq rayinik rech ri uwachulew kasach na uwach, are kꞌu ri winaq ri kunimaj ri kubꞌij ri Dios, kakꞌasiꞌ na chibꞌe qꞌij saq. (aiōn g165)
18 My children, it is the last hour. You were told that an antichrist was coming; and many antichrists have already arisen. This is why we know that this is the last hour.
Loqꞌalaj taq walkꞌwaꞌl, uj kꞌo chi pa ri kꞌisbꞌal taq qꞌij, jetaq ri xitatabꞌej chi kape na ri winaq ri kujaluj chi are Cristo, sibꞌalaj e kꞌi chik ri winaq ri kakijaluj chi aꞌreꞌ e Cristo rumal laꞌ kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi uj kꞌo pa taq ri kꞌisbꞌal taq qꞌij kamik.
19 These people come from our ranks, but they were never truly part of us – if they had been then they would have stayed with us. They left so it would be clear that none of them really belonged to us.
Pune we winaq riꞌ qukꞌ xeꞌl wi bꞌik, man kel ta kubꞌij chi e qachiꞌl, we ta e qachiꞌl xekanaj ta kan riꞌ qukꞌ. Xel kꞌu bꞌik qukꞌ rumal man e qachiꞌl taj.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Ri ix kꞌut, xikꞌamawaꞌj ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel, rumal riꞌ iwetaꞌm uwach ri qas tzij.
21 I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie can come from the truth.
Man kintzꞌibꞌaj taj we tzij riꞌ chiꞌwe rumal man iwetaꞌm taj ri qas tzij, xane kintzꞌibꞌaj chiꞌwe rumal iwetaꞌm ri qas tzij xuqujeꞌ rumal maj xa ta ne nitzꞌ bꞌanoj tzij kꞌo pa ri qas tzij.
22 Who is a liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? That person is the antichrist – one who rejects the Father and the Son.
¿Jachin kꞌu ri bꞌanal tzij we man are ri winaq ri man kuqꞌalajisaj taj ri Cristo? Ri winaq ri kujaluj chi are Cristo, are riꞌ ri winaq ri man kakojon ta che ri Dios rachiꞌl ri Cristo.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Ri man kakojon ta che ri Cristo, ri kꞌojolaxel, man kꞌo ta riꞌ ri Tataxel Dios pa ranimaꞌ, ri kakojon che ri Cristo, kꞌo riꞌ ri Tataxel Dios pa ranimaꞌ.
24 As for you, you must let what you have heard from the beginning continue to live in you. If what you heard from the beginning dwells in you, you will remain both in the Son and the Father.
Kꞌol pa iwanimaꞌ ri kꞌuttal loq chiꞌwach are xmajtaj loq ronojel, rech jeriꞌ kixkꞌojiꞌ pa Dios xuqujeꞌ pa ri ukꞌojol Jesús.
Ri ubꞌim kanoq ri Cristo chaqe are ri jun alik kꞌaslemal ri xuya chaqe. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Areꞌ waꞌ ri jastaq ri kintzꞌibꞌaj chiꞌwe rech maj jun kixsubꞌuwik.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains with you. You do not need anyone to teach you. His anointing teaches you about everything. What it teaches you is true, it is not a lie. Do what it has taught you: abide in him.
Xuqujeꞌ ri uxlabꞌal ri xikꞌamawaꞌj che ri Cristo kꞌo chiꞌwe, man rajawaxik ta chik chi jun winaq kakꞌutuw chiꞌwach. Ri uxlabꞌal ri xikꞌamawaꞌj, qas che ri Dios xikꞌamawaꞌj wiꞌ man xaq ta esal uwach, are waꞌ ri kakꞌutuw na chiꞌwach ronojel ri jastaq. Chixjeqel bꞌa pa Cristo jacha ri xukꞌut kanoq chiꞌwach.
28 Yes, my children, remain in him, so that when he appears our confidence doesn’t fail us, and we are not ashamed to meet him at his coming.
Loqꞌalaj taq walkꞌwaꞌl, chixkꞌol bꞌa pa Cristo, rech are kapetik man kubꞌan ta kebꞌ qakꞌuꞌx are kaqakꞌut qibꞌ choch, rech man kel taj qakꞌixibꞌal.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realize that everyone who does what is right is his child.
We qas kichꞌobꞌo chi ri Jesucristo maj umak, chichꞌobꞌo xuqujeꞌ chi ri winaq ri kubꞌan ri sukꞌal, che ri Cristo petinaq wi.
