John 3
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
Kꞌo jun chike ri fariseos ubꞌiꞌ Nicodemo, jun kꞌamal bꞌe kech ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
2 The same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him.
Jun chaqꞌabꞌil ri Nicodemo xuꞌsolij ri Jesús. Xubꞌij che: Ajtij, qetaꞌm chi are ri Dios xtaqow la loq, rumal cher maj chi jun kakwin chubꞌanik ri etal ri kabꞌan la, xaq xwi kakwin ri winaq chubꞌanik we jastaq riꞌ we kꞌo ri ukwinem ri Dios rukꞌ.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chawe chi ri winaq ri man kalax ta chik junmul, man kakwin taj kok pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
Ri Nicodemo xubꞌij che ri Jesús: ¿Jas kubꞌan jun achi rech kalax chik junmul? ¿La kakwin kꞌut kok chi bꞌik junmul chupam ri unan, kꞌa te riꞌ kalax chik?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chawe, ri man kalax taj che jaꞌ xuqujeꞌ che ri Uxlabꞌal man kakwin taj kok pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Ri kakꞌiy chike winaq, winaq riꞌ, are kꞌu ri kakꞌiy che ri Uxlabꞌal rech ri Dios, uxlabꞌal riꞌ.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.
Mat mayijanik che le xinbꞌij chawe: “Rajawaxik wi kixalax chik junmul.”
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Ri kyaqiqꞌ kajichꞌichꞌ xapawjeꞌ ri karaj wi. Kato kaxururik, man awetaꞌm ta kꞌut jawjeꞌ upetik wi xuqujeꞌ jawjeꞌ keꞌ wi. Je xuqujeꞌ kakꞌulmataj rukꞌ ri winaq ri kalax pa ri Uxlabꞌal.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Ri Nicodemo xubꞌij che ri Jesús: ¿Jas che jewaꞌ kakꞌulmatajik?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: ¿At ajtij kech ri winaq aꞌj Israel, man kachꞌobꞌ taj we jastaq riꞌ?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and bear witness of that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chawe, ri uj are kaqabꞌij ri qetaꞌm, xuqujeꞌ kaqaqꞌalajisaj ri qas qilom, ri ix kꞌut man kikoj taj ri kaqaqꞌalajisaj.
12 If I told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you heavenly things?
We man kikoj ri jastaq rech uwachulew ri nubꞌim chiꞌwe ¿la are ta kꞌu kikoj ri jastaq rech chikaj?
13 And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, [even] the Son of man, which is in heaven.
Maj jun paqalinaq pa ri kaj, xaq xwi ri in uKꞌojol ri Achi ri xqaj loq choch ri uwachulew.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Jetaq ri xubꞌan ri Moisés xuxekebꞌa ri kumatz pa ri katzꞌinow ulew, je xuqujeꞌ kabꞌan na che uxekebꞌaxik ri uKꞌojol ri Achi.
Jeriꞌ rech xapachin ri kakojon che kuriq na kꞌaslemal ri maj ukꞌisik. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Ri Dios sibꞌalaj xuꞌloqꞌaj ri winaq ri e kꞌo choch ri uwachulew, xuya ri xa jun uKꞌojol rech xapachin ri kakojon che man kasach ta uwach xane kꞌo ukꞌaslemal ri maj ukꞌisik. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.
Ri Dios man xutaq ta loq ri uKꞌojol chuqꞌatik tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq ri e kꞌo choch ri uwachulew, xane xpetik rech rumal rech kekolotaj ri winaq.
18 He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Ri kakojon che Areꞌ man kaqꞌat taj tzij puꞌwiꞌ, are kꞌu ri man kakojon taj xqꞌat taj tzij riꞌ puꞌwiꞌ, rumal cher man xkojon taj che ri ubꞌiꞌ ri xa jun uKꞌojol ri Dios.
19 And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
Kaqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq rumal man xekojon taj che ri tunal ri xpe choch ri uwachulew, are utz xkil ri qꞌequꞌmal, jeriꞌ rumal itzel taq chak kakibꞌano.
20 For every one that doeth ill hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.
Ri winaq ri kubꞌan etzelal, riꞌ karetzelaj ri tunal, man kaqebꞌ taj rukꞌ rumal cher kuxiꞌj ribꞌ chi kaqꞌalajin ri uchak.
21 But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.
Are kꞌu ri winaq ri are karilij ubꞌanik ri chak rech ri tunal kaqebꞌ rukꞌ ri tunal rech jeriꞌ kaqꞌalajinik chi are ubꞌanom ri chak ri karaj ri Dios.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
Are xbꞌiꞌtaj we jastaq riꞌ, ri Jesús xeꞌ pa Judea, e rachiꞌl ri utijoxelabꞌ. Chilaꞌ xkꞌojiꞌ wi kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij xubꞌan kiqasanaꞌ ri winaq.
23 And John also was baptizing in AEnon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
Xuqujeꞌ ri Juan tajin kubꞌan qasanaꞌ pa ri tinimit Enón, ri kꞌo chuxukut ri tinimit Salín, rumal nim ri jaꞌ ri chilaꞌ. Rumal riꞌ xepe ri winaq, xulkiya kibꞌ rech kabꞌan kan kiqasanaꞌ.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
(Xkꞌulmataj we riꞌ are majaꞌ kok ri Juan pa cheꞌ.)
25 There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xchapleꞌtaj jun chꞌoꞌj pa tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri qꞌij rech chꞌajchꞌobꞌen ibꞌ, chikixoꞌl ri utijoxelabꞌ ri Juan rachiꞌl jun achi aj Israel.
26 And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
Ri utijoxelabꞌ ri Juan xeꞌkibꞌij che ri Juan: Ajtij, ri achi ri xopan awukꞌ che ri junmul chꞌaqaꞌp che ri Jordán, ri xaqꞌalajisaj chkiwach ri winaq, tajin kubꞌan qasanaꞌ, e kꞌi winaq tajin koꞌpan rukꞌ.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.
Ri Juan xubꞌij chike: Man kꞌo ta jun winaq kakwinik kubꞌan jun jastaq we man are ri Dios kayoꞌw kwinem che chubꞌanik.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.
Xita ri xinbꞌij: “Man in taj in Cristo, xane xaq xwi xintaq loq nabꞌe choch Areꞌ.”
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
Ri jiꞌatz are qas kꞌo rukꞌ ri alibꞌatz. Ri rech chꞌabꞌeꞌn ri jiꞌatz ri kꞌo chuxukut kakiꞌkotik are kuta ri uchꞌabꞌal ri jiꞌatz. Are waꞌ ri kiꞌkotemal ri kꞌo pa wanimaꞌ in.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Rajawaxik Areꞌ kakꞌiyik, are kꞌu ri in xa kakoꞌpij nukꞌiyem.
31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaketh: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
Ri jun ri kape na chilaꞌ chikaj are kꞌo pa kiwiꞌ kojonel, ri winaq ri ajuwachulew, ajuwachulew riꞌ, are karilij utzijoxik riꞌ ri jastaq rech uwachulew. Ri kape na chilaꞌ chikaj are kꞌo pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri winaq.
32 What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness.
Ri kape chilaꞌ chikaj kutzijoj ri rilom xuqujeꞌ utom, man kꞌo ta kꞌu jun katatabꞌen ri kubꞌij.
33 He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to [this], that God is true.
Ri winaq ri kutatabꞌej ri kubꞌij Areꞌ, kuqꞌalajisaj chi qas tzij ri kubꞌij ri Dios.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.
Ri utaqoꞌn ri Dios kuqꞌalajisaj ri tzij rech chilaꞌ chikaj rumal cher ri Dios man kuqꞌatej taj uyaꞌik ri Uxlabꞌixel che ri winaq riꞌ.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
Ri Tataxel Dios kuloqꞌaj ri Kꞌojolaxel rumal riꞌ ronojel ri jastaq uyaꞌom pa uqꞌabꞌ Areꞌ.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
Ri winaq ri kakojon che ri Kꞌojolaxel Dios, kꞌo ukꞌaslemal ri maj ukꞌisik, are kꞌu ri winaq ri karetzelaj ri Kꞌojolaxel Dios man kayaꞌtaj taj ukꞌaslemal xane kaqꞌat na tzij puꞌwiꞌ rumal ri Dios. (aiōnios g166)
