3 John 1
1 The elder to beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
Ri kꞌamal bꞌe che ri alaxik Gayo ri kinloqꞌaj pa ri qas tzij.
2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be healthy, just as it is well with your soul.
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 brothers came and bore witness to your truth, just as you walk in 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 this, to hear that my children walk in the 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, you practice faithfulness whenever you work for the brothers and for strangers
Loqꞌalaj wachalal, utz ri tajin kabꞌan chkilixik ri aꞌlaxik pune man awetaꞌm kiwach.
6 who have borne witness of your love in the presence of the church. You do well to send them off on their journey in a manner worthy of God,
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 it was for the sake of the name that they went out, taking nothing from 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 should welcome such as these, so that we will be fellow workers for the truth.
Rumal riꞌ choqꞌaqꞌ wi keꞌqatoꞌo, rech jeriꞌ kujtobꞌan kukꞌ chutzijoxik ri qas tzij.
9 I wrote something to the congregation, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not receive us.
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 So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. Not satisfied with that, he not only refused to welcome the brothers himself, but he also stops those who want to welcome them and puts 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, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has 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 is borne witness to by all and by the truth itself. We also bear witness, and you know that our testimony 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 to you, but I do not wish to write them to you with pen and ink.
Kꞌi jastaq kawaj kintzꞌibꞌaj bꞌi chawe, man kawaj ta kꞌut kintzꞌibꞌaj rukꞌ cheꞌ tzꞌibꞌabꞌal rachiꞌl tinta,
14 But I expect to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. May peace be with you. The friends greet you. Greet our friends there 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.
