Juan 1
1 Pa ri majibꞌal tzi kꞌo chi wi ri Tzij, ri Tzij kꞌo rukꞌ ri Dios, ri Tzij are Dios xuqujeꞌ.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Ri Tzij kꞌo wi loq rukꞌ ri Dios pa ri majibꞌal rech ronojel.
This was in the beginning with God.
3 Rumal rech Areꞌ xbꞌan ronojel ri jastaq, we ta mat rumal rech areꞌ mat xbꞌan ronojel ri jastaq ri kꞌolik.
All things were made by him, and without him not a single creature was made.
4 Pa Areꞌ kꞌo wi loq ri kꞌaslemal, xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌaslemal are kitunal ri winaq.
In him was life, and the life was the light of man.
5 Are waꞌ ri tunal ri katunan pa ri qꞌequꞌmal, man kwininaq taj ri qꞌequꞌmal chuchupisaxik.
And the light shone in darkness, but the darkness received it not.
6 Kꞌo jun achi ri xtaq loq rumal ri Dios, ubꞌiꞌnam Juan.
A man named John, was sent from God.
7 Xtaq loq chuqꞌalajisaxik ri tunal, rech rumal re kekojon konojel ri winaq.
This man came as a witness, to testify concerning the light, that through him, all might believe.
8 Man are taj tunal ri Juan, xwi xpe che uqꞌalajisaxik ri Tunal.
He was not himself the light; but came to testify concerning the light.
9 Ri qas tzij tunal, ri kuꞌtunaj konojel winaq, xpe choch ri uwachulew.
The true light was he who, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
10 Ri tunal kꞌo chi wi choch ri uwachulew, are xtikow ronojel ri uwachulew, ri winaq kꞌut aꞌjuwachulew man xkichꞌobꞌ taj uwach ri Tzij.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him; yet the world knew him not.
11 Xpe rukꞌ ri e rech, ri e rech man xkikꞌamawaꞌj taj.
He came to his own land, and his own people did not receive him;
12 Are kꞌu ri xkikꞌamawaꞌj ri Tzij, ri xekojon che, xyaꞌtaj chike xuꞌx e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios.
but to as many as received him, believing in his name, he granted the privilege of being children of God;
13 We riꞌ man xkꞌiy ta loq che winaq xuqujeꞌ man xaq ta kꞌa teꞌ xkꞌiy loq, man urayibꞌal achi taj, xane che ri Dios xkꞌiy wi loq.
who derive their birth not from blood, nor from the desire of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from God.
14 Ri Tzij xux winaq, xkꞌojiꞌk chiqaxoꞌl. Xqil ri ujuluwem, are ujuluwem ri xa jun uKꞌojol ri Tataxel Dios, nojinaq che toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ qas tzij.
And the Word became incarnate, and sojourned amongst us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of favor and truth.
15 Ri Juan xuqꞌalajisaj rij ri uKꞌojol ri Dios are xubꞌij: Areꞌ wa ri nutzijom loq chiꞌwe, are xinbꞌij: “Ri teren loq chwij, sibꞌalaj nim na chinuwach in, rumal cher kꞌo wi loq nabꞌe chinuwach in.”
(It was concerning him John testified, when he cried, This is He of whom I said, He that comes after me, is preferred to me; for he was before me.)
16 Che ri uqꞌinomal qonojel uj xqakꞌamawaꞌj toqꞌobꞌ puꞌwiꞌ toqꞌobꞌ.
Of his fulness we all have received, even favor for favor's sake;
17 Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri taqanik che ri Moisés xya wi, are kꞌu ri toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri qas tzij are ri Jesucristo xyoꞌw chaqe.
for the law was given by Moses--the favor and the truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 Man kꞌo ta wi jun winaq ilowinaq uwach ri Dios. Xwi ri xa jun ukꞌojol ri Dios, ri kꞌo uriqoj ibꞌ rukꞌ ri Tataxel, Areꞌ xkꞌutuw ri Dios chiqawach.
No one ever saw God; it is the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, who has made him known.
19 Are waꞌ ri xubꞌij ri Juan chike ri e rijaꞌl ri Leví xuqujeꞌ ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ choch ri Dios ri xetaq bꞌik kumal ri winaq chutayik che jachin ri areꞌ.
Now this is the testimony of John. When the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who are you?
20 Man xrawaj taj uqꞌalajisaxik, xane xubꞌij: Man in taj in Cristo.
he acknowledged, and denied not, but acknowledged, saying, I am not the Messiah.
21 Ri winaq xkita che: ¿Jachin kꞌu ri at? ¿La at kꞌut at Elías? Man in taj, xchaꞌ. ¿La at kꞌut ri at qꞌalajisal tzij? Man in ta xuqujeꞌ, xchaꞌ.
And they asked him, Who, then? Are you Elijah? He said, I am not. Are you the prophet? He answered, No.
22 ¿Jachin kꞌu ri at? xecha che. Choqꞌaqꞌ kaqetaꞌmaj rech keꞌqabꞌij chike ri xujtaqow loq.
They said, Tell, then, who you are, that we may return an answer to them who sent us. What do you say of yourself?
23 Ri Juan xukoj ri utzij ri qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios Isaías, are xubꞌij: Uchꞌabꞌal jun winaq ri kuraq uchiꞌ pa ri katzꞌinow ulew, kubꞌij: “Chisukꞌumaj ri ubꞌe ri Ajawxel.”
He answered, I am he whose voice proclaims in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of the Lord," as said, the Prophet Isaiah.
24 E kꞌo jujun winaq ri xetaq bꞌik kumal ri fariseos.
Now they who were sent, were of the Pharisees.
25 Xkita che: ¿Jas kꞌu che kabꞌan qasanaꞌ we man at at Cristo, man at taj at Elías xuqujeꞌ man at taj ri at Qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios?
And they questioned him further, Why, then, do you immerse, if you be not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
26 Ri Juan xubꞌij: Ri in kinbꞌan qasanaꞌ rukꞌ jaꞌ. Kꞌo kꞌu jun ri kꞌo chi ixoꞌl ri man iwetaꞌm taj uwach.
John answered, I immerse in water, but there is one among you whom you know not.
27 Areꞌ teren loq chwij, man taqal taj chwe in kinkir ri jatꞌibꞌal rech ri uxajabꞌ.
It is he who comes after me, and was before me; whose shoe-string I am not worthy to loose.
28 Ronojel we jastaq riꞌ xkꞌulmataj pa ri tinimit Betania, chꞌaqaꞌp che ri nimaꞌ Jordán, jawjeꞌ tajin kubꞌan wi qasanaꞌ ri Juan.
This happened at Bethabara, upon the Jordan, where John was immersing.
29 Chukabꞌ qꞌij ri Juan xril ri Jesús are tajin kanaqajin loq che, xubꞌij: ¡Chiwilampeꞌ! ¡Are waꞌ ri alaj uchij ri Dios ri karesaj makaj choch ronojel ri uwachulew!
On the next day, John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world.
30 Are waꞌ ri xintzijoj are xinbꞌij chiꞌwe: “Teren loq jun achi ri chwij ri nim ubꞌanik chinuwach, jeriꞌ rumal tzi kꞌo wi loq Areꞌ, are kꞌa majaꞌ kinkꞌojiꞌ in.”
This is He, concerning whom I said, After me a man comes, who is preferred to me; for he was before me.
31 Man wetaꞌm ta in uwach nabꞌe, xinbꞌan kꞌu kiqasanaꞌ ri winaq pa jaꞌ, rech jeriꞌ kukꞌut ribꞌ chikiwach.
As for me, I knew him not; but, that he might be made manifest to Israel, I am come immersing in water.
32 Ri Juan xubꞌij: Ri in xinwilo ri Uxlabꞌixel jer xubꞌan jun palomax xqaj loq puꞌwiꞌ ri Areꞌ.
John testified further, saying, I saw the spirit descending from heaven, like a dove, and remaining upon him.
33 Man wetaꞌm ta in uwach nabꞌe, are kꞌu ri xintaqow loq chubꞌanik qasanaꞌ pa jaꞌ xubꞌij chwe: “Ri kawilo kaqaj ri Uxlabꞌixel puꞌwiꞌ are riꞌ ri kabꞌanow qasanaꞌ rukꞌ ri Uxlabꞌixel.”
For my part, I should not have known him, had not He, who sent me to immerse in water, told me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining, the same is He who immerses in the Holy Spirit.
34 Ri in wilom we riꞌ rumal riꞌ kinqꞌalajisaj chi areꞌ are uKꞌojol ri Dios.
Having, therefore, seen this, I testify that he is the Son of God.
35 Che ri jun qꞌij chik ri Juan junmul chik kꞌo chilaꞌ, e rachiꞌl kebꞌ chike ri utijoxelabꞌ.
The next day, John, being with two of his disciples,
36 Are xrilo chi tajin kikꞌow bꞌik ri Jesús chilaꞌ, xubꞌij: ¡Chiwilampeꞌ! Chi riꞌ kꞌo wi we alaj uchij ri Dios ri kukuy makaj.
observed Jesus passing, and said, Behold the Lamb of God.
37 Are xkita ri e kebꞌ utijoxelabꞌ ri Juan chi jeriꞌ xubꞌij, xeteriꞌ bꞌik chirij ri Jesús.
The two disciples hearing this, followed Jesus.
38 Xtzalqꞌomij ri Jesús, kꞌa te xeꞌrilo e teren ri kebꞌ tijoxelabꞌ chirij, xuta chike: ¿Jas kitzukuj? Areꞌ xkibꞌij: Ajtij, ¿jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi ri achoch la?
And Jesus turning about, saw them following, and said to them, What do you seek? They answered, Rabbi, (which signifies Teacher, ) where do you dwell?
39 Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Chixanloq jiliwilaꞌ. Ri tijoxelabꞌ xebꞌek, xeꞌkilaꞌ jawjeꞌ kel wi ri Jesús, kꞌa te riꞌ xekanaj kan jun aqꞌabꞌ chilaꞌ, rumal cher ukaj hora chik rech bꞌenaq qꞌij.
He replied, Come, and see. They went, and saw where he dwelt, and it being about the tenth hour, abode with him that day.
40 Ri Andrés rachalal ri Simón Pedro, jun chike ri e kebꞌ tijoxelabꞌ, xuta ri xubꞌij ri Juan, rumal riꞌ xutereneꞌj bꞌik ri Jesús.
One of the two, who, having heard John, followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
41 Ri Andrés are xuriq ri rachalal, Simón xubꞌij che. Xqarik ri Mesías, (ri kel kubꞌij Cristo).
The first he met, was his own brother, Simon; to whom he said, We have found the Messiah, (a name equivalent to Christ.)
42 Ri Andrés xukꞌam bꞌik ri rachalal rukꞌ ri Jesús, ri Jesús ko xukaꞌyej ri Simón, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij che: At Simón, ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Juan, kabꞌinaꞌj na Cefas, (ri kel kubꞌij Pedro).
And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus, looking upon him, said, You are Simon, the son of Jona; you shall be called Cephas, (which denotes the same as Peter.)
43 Chukabꞌ qꞌij chik, ri Jesús xuchomaj keꞌ pa Galilea. Xuriq kꞌu ri Felipe, xubꞌij che: Chinatereneꞌj.
The next day, he resolved to go to Galilee, and meeting Philip, said to him, Follow me.
44 Ri Felipe aj Betsaida, je xuqujeꞌ ri Andrés rachiꞌl ri Pedro.
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Ri Felipe xeꞌ chutzukuxik ri Natanael, are xuriqo xubꞌij che: Xqarik ri Jesús aj Nazaret, ukꞌojol ri José, are waꞌ ri xtzꞌibꞌax loq rij chupam ri wuj rech taqanik rech ri Moisés xuqujeꞌ chupam ri wuj kech ri e qꞌalajisal taq tzij rech ri Dios.
Philip meets Nathanael, and says to him, We have found the person described by Moses in the law, and by the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, of Nazareth.
46 Ri Natanael xubꞌij: ¿Che aj Nazaret we achi riꞌ? ¿La kꞌo kꞌu jun utza winaq kel chilaꞌ? Ri Felipe xubꞌij che: Chatampe loq, jalawilaꞌ.
Nathanael says to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip answered, Come and see.
47 Ri Jesús are xrilo chi tajin kaqebꞌ loq ri Natanael rukꞌ, xubꞌij: Waral kꞌo wi jun achi qas aj Israel, man kubꞌan taj bꞌanoj tzij.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said, concerning him, Behold an Israelite, indeed, in whom is no guile.
48 Ri Natanael xuta che ri Jesús: ¿Jawjeꞌ ilom wi la nuwach? Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Xatinwilo are majaꞌ katusikꞌij ri Felipe, at kꞌo chuxeꞌ ri ucheꞌal ri higuera.
Nathanael said to him, Whence do you know me? Jesus answered, I saw you when you were under the fig tree, before Philip called you.
49 Ri Natanael xubꞌij: Rabí, at at Ukꞌojol ri Dios, at nim taqanel pa ri tinimit Israel.
Nathanael replying, said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.
50 Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: ¿La rumal ri xinbꞌij chawe chi xatinwilo are at kꞌo chuxeꞌ ri ucheꞌal ri higuera rumal riꞌ kakojo chi in in Ukꞌojol ri Dios? Kawil na nimaq taq jastaq choch we riꞌ.
Jesus answered him, saying, Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe!
51 Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi kiwil na kajaqataj ri kaj, xuqujeꞌ ri angelibꞌ kepaqiꞌk kexuliꞌk puꞌwiꞌ ri uKꞌojol ri Achi.
He added, Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending from the Son of Man, and descending to him.
