< 1 Yochanan 3 >

1 See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.
¡Chiwilampeꞌ! Sibꞌalaj nim ri loqꞌanik ri xuya ri qatat Dios chaqe, rumal riꞌ kubꞌij chi uj ralkꞌwaꞌl, qas uj ralkꞌwaꞌl kꞌu wi, ri winaq ri man e kojonelabꞌ taj man ketaꞌm taj uj jachin uj, jeriꞌ rumal cher man ketaꞌm taj uwach ri Cristo.
2 Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.
Loqꞌalaj taq qachalal, uj ralkꞌwaꞌl chi ri Dios kamik, majaꞌ kꞌu kaqꞌalajinik jas qas kujux na. Xwi qetaꞌm chi are kape ri Cristo kujjunumataj na rukꞌ Areꞌ, jeriꞌ rumal kaqil na uwach.
3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Xapachin ri jeqel ukꞌuꞌx pa Cristo man kamakun ta riꞌ jacha ri Cristo man kamakun taj.
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
Ri winaq ri kubꞌan mak kuqꞌipij ri taqanik; xuqujeꞌ man nimanel taj che.
5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
Iwetaꞌm kꞌut chi ri Cristo xpetik chuchupik ri qamak. Xuqujeꞌ Areꞌ man kꞌo ta umak.
6 Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.
Ri winaq ri kꞌo pa Cristo man are ta karilij ubꞌanik ri mak. Ri winaq ri are karilij ubꞌanik mak man rilom taj xuqujeꞌ man retaꞌmam ta uwach ri Cristo.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Loqꞌalaj taq walkꞌwaꞌl, kꞌo mixsubꞌuwik. Ri winaq ri kubꞌan ri sukꞌal, sukꞌ winaq riꞌ, jetaq ri Cristo.
8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Ri winaq ri are karilij ubꞌanik mak rech ri Itzel riꞌ, jeriꞌ rumal ri Itzel xaq are wi rilim loq ubꞌanik ri mak pa ri majibꞌal rech ronojel. Rumal riꞌ ri Cristo xtaq loq chutukixik ri uchak ri Itzel.
9 Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.
Ri xalax chi junmul pa Cristo man are ta karilij ubꞌanik riꞌ ri mak, jeriꞌ rumal xya jun ijaꞌ rech ri Dios pa ri ukꞌaslemal rech man are ta karilij ubꞌanik ri mak.
10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.
Jeriꞌ kaqꞌalajinik jachin ri ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Dios xuqujeꞌ jachin ri ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Itzel. Ri man kubꞌan ta ri sukꞌal xuqujeꞌ man kuloqꞌaj taj ri rachalal man ralkꞌwaꞌl ta ri Dios riꞌ.
11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
Ri utz laj tzij ri itatabꞌem loq pa ri majibꞌal rech ronojel, are chi kaqaloqꞌaj qibꞌ chqajujunal.
12 unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
Man kaqesaj taj uwach ri Caín, are waꞌ ri xuya bꞌe xok ri Itzel che rumal riꞌ xukamisaj ri rachalal Abel. ¿Jas che jewaꞌ xubꞌano? Jeriꞌ xubꞌano rumal are xrilij ubꞌanik itzel taq chak, are kꞌu ri uchak ri rachalal sibꞌalaj utz.
13 Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
Wachalal, man kixmayjan taj we kixketzelaj ri winaq ri man e kojonelabꞌ taj.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death.
Qetaꞌm uj chi uj kaminaq kan nabꞌe xa kꞌu xya chi na qakꞌaslemal rumal riꞌ keꞌqaloqꞌaj ri e qachalal. Ri winaq ri man kaloqꞌan taj rech ri kamikal riꞌ.
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
Ri karetzelaj ri rachalal jun kamisanel riꞌ, iwetaꞌm kꞌut chi maj jun kamisanel kakwinik kok pa ri jun alik kꞌaslemal. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
Ri uj qetaꞌm jas ubꞌanik ri loqꞌanik are chi ri Jesucristo xuya ri ukꞌaslemal rumal qe. Je xuqujeꞌ rajawaxik kaqabꞌan uj, rajawaxik kaqaya ri qakꞌaslemal pa kiwiꞌ ri e qachalal.
17 But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?
We kꞌo jun chiꞌwe sibꞌalaj qꞌinom karil kꞌu ri rachalal chi kajawataj ujastaq man kel ta kꞌu ukꞌuꞌx che, man kakwin ta riꞌ kubꞌij chi kꞌo ri loqꞌanik rech ri Dios pa ranimaꞌ.
18 My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
Loqꞌalaj taq walkꞌwaꞌl, man xaq xwi ta kaqabꞌij rukꞌ ri qachiꞌ chi ku qas qakꞌutu rukꞌ ri kaqabꞌano.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
Rukꞌ waꞌ qas kaqetaꞌmaj chi uj kꞌo pa ri qas tzij xuqujeꞌ kaqanaꞌo chi utz qaꞌnik cho ri Dios.
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Pune ri qanimaꞌ man kuqꞌat ta tzij pa qawiꞌ, ri Dios retaꞌm ronojel, areꞌ nim choch ri qanimaꞌ.
21 Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
Loqꞌalaj taq qachalal, we kaqanaꞌo chi ri qanimaꞌ man kuqꞌat ta tzij pa qawiꞌ rumal ri xqabꞌano, kꞌo ukuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx riꞌ che ri Dios.
22 so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
Xuqujeꞌ kaqakꞌamawaꞌj na ronojel ri kaqata che ri Dios, jeriꞌ rumal kaqanimaj ri utaqanik xuqujeꞌ kaqabꞌan ri taqalik choch ri Dios.
23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah, and love one another, even as he commanded.
Ri utaqanik ri Dios are chi kujkojon che ri Jesucristo, ri ukꞌojol, xuqujeꞌ kaqaloqꞌaj qibꞌ chiqajujunal, rumal jeriꞌ karaj kaqabꞌano.
24 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
Ri kunimaj ri uꞌtaqanik ri Dios, qas kꞌo riꞌ pa Dios, xuqujeꞌ ri Dios kꞌo pa ranimaꞌ ri winaq riꞌ. Are ri Uxlabꞌixel ri xuya chaqe kujtoꞌwik chi retaꞌmaxik chi qas kꞌo ri Dios pa qanimaꞌ.
