1 John 3
1 Behold, what manner of love, the Father hath bestowed upon us—that, children of God, we should be called, —and such we are! Therefore, the world understandeth us not, because it understood not him.
¡Chiwilampeꞌ! Sibꞌalaj nim ri loqꞌanik ri xuya ri qatat Dios chaqe, rumal riꞌ kubꞌij chi uj ralkꞌwaꞌl, qas uj ralkꞌwaꞌl kꞌu wi, ri winaq ri man e kojonelabꞌ taj man ketaꞌm taj uj jachin uj, jeriꞌ rumal cher man ketaꞌm taj uwach ri Cristo.
2 Beloved! now, are we, children of God; and, not yet, hath it been made manifest, what we shall be, —We know that, if it should be made manifest, like unto him, shall we be, because we shall see him, just as he is.
Loqꞌalaj taq qachalal, uj ralkꞌwaꞌl chi ri Dios kamik, majaꞌ kꞌu kaqꞌalajinik jas qas kujux na. Xwi qetaꞌm chi are kape ri Cristo kujjunumataj na rukꞌ Areꞌ, jeriꞌ rumal kaqil na uwach.
3 And, whosoever hath this hope on him, is purifying himself, just as, He, is pure.
Xapachin ri jeqel ukꞌuꞌx pa Cristo man kamakun ta riꞌ jacha ri Cristo man kamakun taj.
4 Whosoever is committing sin, lawlessness also, is committing, and, sin, is, lawlessness;
Ri winaq ri kubꞌan mak kuqꞌipij ri taqanik; xuqujeꞌ man nimanel taj che.
5 And ye know, that, He, was made manifest—in order that, our sins, he should take away, and, sin, in him, is there none.
Iwetaꞌm kꞌut chi ri Cristo xpetik chuchupik ri qamak. Xuqujeꞌ Areꞌ man kꞌo ta umak.
6 Whosoever, in him, doth abide, is not sinning: whosoever is sinning, hath not seen him, and doth not understand him.
Ri winaq ri kꞌo pa Cristo man are ta karilij ubꞌanik ri mak. Ri winaq ri are karilij ubꞌanik mak man rilom taj xuqujeꞌ man retaꞌmam ta uwach ri Cristo.
7 Dear children! Let, no one, lead you astray! He that is doing righteousness, is, righteous, just as, He, is righteous:
Loqꞌalaj taq walkꞌwaꞌl, kꞌo mixsubꞌuwik. Ri winaq ri kubꞌan ri sukꞌal, sukꞌ winaq riꞌ, jetaq ri Cristo.
8 He that is committing sin, is, of the adversary, because, from the beginning, the adversary is sinning. To this end, was the Son of God made manifest, in order that he might undo the works of the adversary.
Ri winaq ri are karilij ubꞌanik mak rech ri Itzel riꞌ, jeriꞌ rumal ri Itzel xaq are wi rilim loq ubꞌanik ri mak pa ri majibꞌal rech ronojel. Rumal riꞌ ri Cristo xtaq loq chutukixik ri uchak ri Itzel.
9 Whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing, sin, because, a seed of him, within him, abideth; and he cannot be committing sin, because, of God, hath he been born.
Ri xalax chi junmul pa Cristo man are ta karilij ubꞌanik riꞌ ri mak, jeriꞌ rumal xya jun ijaꞌ rech ri Dios pa ri ukꞌaslemal rech man are ta karilij ubꞌanik ri mak.
10 Herein, are, manifest, the children of God, and the children of the adversary: Whoever is not doing righteousness, is not of God, nor yet he that is not loving his brother.
Jeriꞌ kaqꞌalajinik jachin ri ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios xuqujeꞌ jachin ri ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Itzel. Ri man kubꞌan ta ri sukꞌal xuqujeꞌ man kuloqꞌaj taj ri rachalal man ralkꞌwaꞌl ta ri Dios riꞌ.
11 Because, this, is the message which ye have heard from the beginning—that we should be loving one another, —
Ri utz laj tzij ri itatabꞌem loq pa ri majibꞌal rech ronojel, are chi kaqaloqꞌaj qibꞌ chqajujunal.
12 Not just as, Cain, was, of the wicked one, and slew his brother! And, for what cause, slew he him? Because, his works, were, wicked, whereas, those of his brother, were, righteous.
Man kaqesaj taj uwach ri Caín, are waꞌ ri xuya bꞌe xok ri Itzel che rumal riꞌ xukamisaj ri rachalal Abel. ¿Jas che jewaꞌ xubꞌano? Jeriꞌ xubꞌano rumal are xrilij ubꞌanik itzel taq chak, are kꞌu ri uchak ri rachalal sibꞌalaj utz.
13 Be not marveling, brethren, if, the world, is hating you:
Wachalal, man kixmayjan taj we kixketzelaj ri winaq ri man e kojonelabꞌ taj.
14 We, know, that we have passed over out of death into life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not, abideth in death.
Qetaꞌm uj chi uj kaminaq kan nabꞌe xa kꞌu xya chi na qakꞌaslemal rumal riꞌ keꞌqaloqꞌaj ri e qachalal. Ri winaq ri man kaloqꞌan taj rech ri kamikal riꞌ.
15 Whosoever is hating his brother, is, a murderer; and ye know that, no murderer, hath life age-during, within him abiding. (aiōnios g166)
Ri karetzelaj ri rachalal jun kamisanel riꞌ, iwetaꞌm kꞌut chi maj jun kamisanel kakwinik kok pa ri jun alik kꞌaslemal. (aiōnios g166)
16 Hereby, have we come to understand love: in that, He, for us, his life laid down; and, we, ought, for the brethren, our lives to lay down.
Ri uj qetaꞌm jas ubꞌanik ri loqꞌanik are chi ri Jesucristo xuya ri ukꞌaslemal rumal qe. Je xuqujeꞌ rajawaxik kaqabꞌan uj, rajawaxik kaqaya ri qakꞌaslemal pa kiwiꞌ ri e qachalal.
17 But, whoso hath this world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother having, need, and shutteth up his tender affections from him, how, is, the love of God, abiding in him?
We kꞌo jun chiꞌwe sibꞌalaj qꞌinom karil kꞌu ri rachalal chi kajawataj ujastaq man kel ta kꞌu ukꞌuꞌx che, man kakwin ta riꞌ kubꞌij chi kꞌo ri loqꞌanik rech ri Dios pa ranimaꞌ.
18 Dear children! Let us not be loving in word, nor yet with the tongue, but in deed and truth.
Loqꞌalaj taq walkꞌwaꞌl, man xaq xwi ta kaqabꞌij rukꞌ ri qachiꞌ chi ku qas qakꞌutu rukꞌ ri kaqabꞌano.
19 Hereby, shall we get to know, that, of the truth, we are, and, before him, shall persuade our heart;
Rukꞌ waꞌ qas kaqetaꞌmaj chi uj kꞌo pa ri qas tzij xuqujeꞌ kaqanaꞌo chi utz qaꞌnik cho ri Dios.
20 Because, if our own heart condemn us, greater, is God, than our heart, and perceiveth all things.
Pune ri qanimaꞌ man kuqꞌat ta tzij pa qawiꞌ, ri Dios retaꞌm ronojel, areꞌ nim choch ri qanimaꞌ.
21 Beloved! if our heart be not condemning us, boldness, have we, towards God;
Loqꞌalaj taq qachalal, we kaqanaꞌo chi ri qanimaꞌ man kuqꞌat ta tzij pa qawiꞌ rumal ri xqabꞌano, kꞌo ukuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx riꞌ che ri Dios.
22 And, whatsoever we are asking, we are receiving from him, because, his commandments, are we keeping, and, the things that are pleasing before him, are we doing.
Xuqujeꞌ kaqakꞌamawaꞌj na ronojel ri kaqata che ri Dios, jeriꞌ rumal kaqanimaj ri utaqanik xuqujeꞌ kaqabꞌan ri taqalik choch ri Dios.
23 And, this, is his commandment, —that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and be loving one another—just as he gave a commandment unto us.
Ri utaqanik ri Dios are chi kujkojon che ri Jesucristo, ri ukꞌojol, xuqujeꞌ kaqaloqꞌaj qibꞌ chiqajujunal, rumal jeriꞌ karaj kaqabꞌano.
24 And, he that keepeth his commandments, in him, abideth, and, he, in him. And, hereby, perceive we, that he abideth in us, by reason of the Spirit which, unto us, he hath given.
Ri kunimaj ri uꞌtaqanik ri Dios, qas kꞌo riꞌ pa Dios, xuqujeꞌ ri Dios kꞌo pa ranimaꞌ ri winaq riꞌ. Are ri Uxlabꞌixel ri xuya chaqe kujtoꞌwik chi retaꞌmaxik chi qas kꞌo ri Dios pa qanimaꞌ.
