Juan 3
1 Kꞌo jun chike ri fariseos ubꞌiꞌ Nicodemo, jun kꞌamal bꞌe kech ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
And there was a man of the Pharisees there, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 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.
And he came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher sent from God; for no one can work those signs which thou workest, unless God be with him.
3 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.
Jesus replied, and said to him: Verily, verily, I say to thee, That, unless a man be born anew, he cannot behold the kingdom of God.
4 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?
Nicodemus said to him: How can an old man be born? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?
5 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.
Jesus replied, and said to him Verily, verily, I say to thee, That, unless a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 Ri kakꞌiy chike winaq, winaq riꞌ, are kꞌu ri kakꞌiy che ri Uxlabꞌal rech ri Dios, uxlabꞌal riꞌ.
That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
7 Mat mayijanik che le xinbꞌij chawe: “Rajawaxik wi kixalax chik junmul.”
Be not surprised that I said to thee, Ye must be born anew.
8 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.
The wind bloweth where it chooseth; and thou hearest its sound, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one, that is born of the Spirit.
9 Ri Nicodemo xubꞌij che ri Jesús: ¿Jas che jewaꞌ kakꞌulmatajik?
Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be?
10 Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: ¿At ajtij kech ri winaq aꞌj Israel, man kachꞌobꞌ taj we jastaq riꞌ?
Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Qas tzij kinbꞌij chawe, ri uj are kaqabꞌij ri qetaꞌm, xuqujeꞌ kaqaqꞌalajisaj ri qas qilom, ri ix kꞌut man kikoj taj ri kaqaqꞌalajisaj.
Verily, verily, I say to thee: We speak, what we know; and we testify to what we have seen; but ye receive not our testimony.
12 We man kikoj ri jastaq rech uwachulew ri nubꞌim chiꞌwe ¿la are ta kꞌu kikoj ri jastaq rech chikaj?
If I have spoken to you of things on earth, and ye believe not; how will ye believe, if I speak of things in heaven?
13 Maj jun paqalinaq pa ri kaj, xaq xwi ri in uKꞌojol ri Achi ri xqaj loq choch ri uwachulew.
And no one hath ascended to heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
14 Jetaq ri xubꞌan ri Moisés xuxekebꞌa ri kumatz pa ri katzꞌinow ulew, je xuqujeꞌ kabꞌan na che uxekebꞌaxik ri uKꞌojol ri Achi.
And as Moses elevated the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
that every one who believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
16 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)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him, should not perish, but should have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 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.
For God sent not his Son into the world, to condemn the world; but that the world might live by means of him.
18 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.
He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not, is already condemned; because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 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.
And this is the ground of condemnation, that light hath come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, for their deeds have been evil.
20 Ri winaq ri kubꞌan etzelal, riꞌ karetzelaj ri tunal, man kaqebꞌ taj rukꞌ rumal cher kuxiꞌj ribꞌ chi kaqꞌalajin ri uchak.
For every one that doeth abominable things, hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 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.
But he that doeth right, cometh to the light, that his works may be known to be done in God.
22 Are xbꞌiꞌtaj we jastaq riꞌ, ri Jesús xeꞌ pa Judea, e rachiꞌl ri utijoxelabꞌ. Chilaꞌ xkꞌojiꞌ wi kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij xubꞌan kiqasanaꞌ ri winaq.
After these things, came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he abode with them, and baptized.
23 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.
And John also was baptizing in 'non, which is near to Salim, because there were many waters there: and the people came, and were baptized.
24 (Xkꞌulmataj we riꞌ are majaꞌ kok ri Juan pa cheꞌ.)
For John had not yet fallen into prison.
25 Kꞌa te riꞌ xchapleꞌtaj jun chꞌoꞌj pa tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri qꞌij rech chꞌajchꞌobꞌen ibꞌ, chikixoꞌl ri utijoxelabꞌ ri Juan rachiꞌl jun achi aj Israel.
And one of John's disciples and a certain Jew had disputed respecting purification.
26 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.
And they came to John, and said to him: Our Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond Jordan, and of whom thou gavest testimony, lo, he also baptizeth; and many go after him.
27 Ri Juan xubꞌij chike: Man kꞌo ta jun winaq kakwinik kubꞌan jun jastaq we man are ri Dios kayoꞌw kwinem che chubꞌanik.
John answered, and said to them: A man cannot take any thing by his own choice, unless it be given him from heaven.
28 Xita ri xinbꞌij: “Man in taj in Cristo, xane xaq xwi xintaq loq nabꞌe choch Areꞌ.”
Ye are witnesses for me, that I said: I am not the Messiah, but am sent to go before him.
29 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.
He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: and the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and listeneth to him, rejoiceth with great joy on account of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy, therefore, lo, it is full.
30 Rajawaxik Areꞌ kakꞌiyik, are kꞌu ri in xa kakoꞌpij nukꞌiyem.
To him must be increase, and to me decrease.
31 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.
For he that cometh from above, is above all; and he that is from the earth, is of the earth, and talketh of the earth. He that cometh from heaven, is above all;
32 Ri kape chilaꞌ chikaj kutzijoj ri rilom xuqujeꞌ utom, man kꞌo ta kꞌu jun katatabꞌen ri kubꞌij.
and what he hath seen and heard, he testifieth; and his testimony, no one receiveth.
33 Ri winaq ri kutatabꞌej ri kubꞌij Areꞌ, kuqꞌalajisaj chi qas tzij ri kubꞌij ri Dios.
But he that receiveth his testimony, hath set his seal, that God is true.
34 Ri utaqoꞌn ri Dios kuqꞌalajisaj ri tzij rech chilaꞌ chikaj rumal cher ri Dios man kuqꞌatej taj uyaꞌik ri Uxlabꞌixel che ri winaq riꞌ.
For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God; for God hath not given the Spirit by measure to him.
35 Ri Tataxel Dios kuloqꞌaj ri Kꞌojolaxel rumal riꞌ ronojel ri jastaq uyaꞌom pa uqꞌabꞌ Areꞌ.
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given every thing into his hands.
36 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)
He that believeth on the Son, hath life eternal; but he who obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life. but the wrath of God will abide upon him. (aiōnios g166)
