3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Ri kꞌamal bꞌe che ri alaxik Gayo ri kinloqꞌaj pa ri qas tzij.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
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 testified about your truth, even 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 about my children walking in 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 do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
Loqꞌalaj wachalal, utz ri tajin kabꞌan chkilixik ri aꞌlaxik pune man awetaꞌm kiwach.
6 They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way 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 for the sake of the Name 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 ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
Rumal riꞌ choqꞌaqꞌ wi keꞌqatoꞌo, rech jeriꞌ kujtobꞌan kukꞌ chutzijoxik ri qas tzij.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
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 Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, he doesn’t receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.
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, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t 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 has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, 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 am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
Kꞌi jastaq kawaj kintzꞌibꞌaj bꞌi chawe, man kawaj ta kꞌut kintzꞌibꞌaj rukꞌ cheꞌ tzꞌibꞌabꞌal rachiꞌl tinta,
14 but I hope to see you soon. Then we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends 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.
