< John 1 >

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Pa ri majibꞌal tzi kꞌo chi wi ri Tzij, ri Tzij kꞌo rukꞌ ri Dios, ri Tzij are Dios xuqujeꞌ.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Ri Tzij kꞌo wi loq rukꞌ ri Dios pa ri majibꞌal rech ronojel.
3 All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made.
Rumal rech Areꞌ xbꞌan ronojel ri jastaq, we ta mat rumal rech areꞌ mat xbꞌan ronojel ri jastaq ri kꞌolik.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Pa Areꞌ kꞌo wi loq ri kꞌaslemal, xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌaslemal are kitunal ri winaq.
5 And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Are waꞌ ri tunal ri katunan pa ri qꞌequꞌmal, man kwininaq taj ri qꞌequꞌmal chuchupisaxik.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Kꞌo jun achi ri xtaq loq rumal ri Dios, ubꞌiꞌnam Juan.
7 This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him.
Xtaq loq chuqꞌalajisaxik ri tunal, rech rumal re kekojon konojel ri winaq.
8 He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light.
Man are taj tunal ri Juan, xwi xpe che uqꞌalajisaxik ri Tunal.
9 That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.
Ri qas tzij tunal, ri kuꞌtunaj konojel winaq, xpe choch ri uwachulew.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Ri tunal kꞌo chi wi choch ri uwachulew, are xtikow ronojel ri uwachulew, ri winaq kꞌut aꞌjuwachulew man xkichꞌobꞌ taj uwach ri Tzij.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Xpe rukꞌ ri e rech, ri e rech man xkikꞌamawaꞌj taj.
12 But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name.
Are kꞌu ri xkikꞌamawaꞌj ri Tzij, ri xekojon che, xyaꞌtaj chike xuꞌx e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios.
13 Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
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.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.
Ri Tzij xux winaq, xkꞌojiꞌk chiqaxoꞌl. Xqil ri ujuluwem, are ujuluwem ri xa jun uKꞌojol ri Tataxel Dios, nojinaq che toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ qas tzij.
15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me, is preferred before me: because he was before me.
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.”
16 And of his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
Che ri uqꞌinomal qonojel uj xqakꞌamawaꞌj toqꞌobꞌ puꞌwiꞌ toqꞌobꞌ.
17 For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri taqanik che ri Moisés xya wi, are kꞌu ri toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri qas tzij are ri Jesucristo xyoꞌw chaqe.
18 No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
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.
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to him, to ask him: Who art thou?
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.
20 And he confessed, and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the Christ.
Man xrawaj taj uqꞌalajisaxik, xane xubꞌij: Man in taj in Cristo.
21 And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No.
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.
22 They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?
¿Jachin kꞌu ri at? xecha che. Choqꞌaqꞌ kaqetaꞌmaj rech keꞌqabꞌij chike ri xujtaqow loq.
23 He said: I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias.
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.”
24 And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees.
E kꞌo jujun winaq ri xetaq bꞌik kumal ri fariseos.
25 And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
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?
26 John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not.
Ri Juan xubꞌij: Ri in kinbꞌan qasanaꞌ rukꞌ jaꞌ. Kꞌo kꞌu jun ri kꞌo chi ixoꞌl ri man iwetaꞌm taj uwach.
27 The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.
Areꞌ teren loq chwij, man taqal taj chwe in kinkir ri jatꞌibꞌal rech ri uxajabꞌ.
28 These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Ronojel we jastaq riꞌ xkꞌulmataj pa ri tinimit Betania, chꞌaqaꞌp che ri nimaꞌ Jordán, jawjeꞌ tajin kubꞌan wi qasanaꞌ ri Juan.
29 The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.
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!
30 This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.
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.”
31 And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
Man wetaꞌm ta in uwach nabꞌe, xinbꞌan kꞌu kiqasanaꞌ ri winaq pa jaꞌ, rech jeriꞌ kukꞌut ribꞌ chikiwach.
32 And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.
Ri Juan xubꞌij: Ri in xinwilo ri Uxlabꞌixel jer xubꞌan jun palomax xqaj loq puꞌwiꞌ ri Areꞌ.
33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
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.”
34 And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.
Ri in wilom we riꞌ rumal riꞌ kinqꞌalajisaj chi areꞌ are uKꞌojol ri Dios.
35 The next day again John stood, and two of his disciples.
Che ri jun qꞌij chik ri Juan junmul chik kꞌo chilaꞌ, e rachiꞌl kebꞌ chike ri utijoxelabꞌ.
36 And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.
Are xrilo chi tajin kikꞌow bꞌik ri Jesús chilaꞌ, xubꞌij: ¡Chiwilampeꞌ! Chi riꞌ kꞌo wi we alaj uchij ri Dios ri kukuy makaj.
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Are xkita ri e kebꞌ utijoxelabꞌ ri Juan chi jeriꞌ xubꞌij, xeteriꞌ bꞌik chirij ri Jesús.
38 And Jesus turning, and seeing them following him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwellest thou?
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?
39 He saith to them: Come and see. They came, and saw where he abode, and they stayed with him that day: now it was about the tenth hour.
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.
40 And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard of John, and followed him.
Ri Andrés rachalal ri Simón Pedro, jun chike ri e kebꞌ tijoxelabꞌ, xuta ri xubꞌij ri Juan, rumal riꞌ xutereneꞌj bꞌik ri Jesús.
41 He findeth first his brother Simon, and saith to him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
Ri Andrés are xuriq ri rachalal, Simón xubꞌij che. Xqarik ri Mesías, (ri kel kubꞌij Cristo).
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter.
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).
43 On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him: Follow me.
Chukabꞌ qꞌij chik, ri Jesús xuchomaj keꞌ pa Galilea. Xuriq kꞌu ri Felipe, xubꞌij che: Chinatereneꞌj.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Ri Felipe aj Betsaida, je xuqujeꞌ ri Andrés rachiꞌl ri Pedro.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.
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.
46 And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see.
Ri Natanael xubꞌij: ¿Che aj Nazaret we achi riꞌ? ¿La kꞌo kꞌu jun utza winaq kel chilaꞌ? Ri Felipe xubꞌij che: Chatampe loq, jalawilaꞌ.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him: and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.
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.
48 Nathanael saith to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered, and said to him: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
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.
49 Nathanael answered him, and said: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.
Ri Natanael xubꞌij: Rabí, at at Ukꞌojol ri Dios, at nim taqanel pa ri tinimit Israel.
50 Jesus answered, and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt thou see.
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.
51 And he saith to him: Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi kiwil na kajaqataj ri kaj, xuqujeꞌ ri angelibꞌ kepaqiꞌk kexuliꞌk puꞌwiꞌ ri uKꞌojol ri Achi.
