1That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life
1Nintz'îbac êriq'uin chirix li Dios C'ajolbej li cuan chalen chak sa' xticlajic li ruchich'och'. Lâo quikil riq'uin xnak' ku ut coâtinac riq'uin. Quikil ru a'an chi tz'akal ut xkach'e' riq'uin kuk'. A'an a'in li Âtin naq'uehoc yu'am.
2(and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);
2Quic'utbesîc chiku li naq'uehoc yu'am. Quikil ru a'an. Jo'can nak nakach'olob xyâlal chêru chirix a'an, li naq'uehoc yu'am chi junelic. A'an li cuan chak riq'uin li Acuabej Dios. A'an quixc'utbesi rib chiku.
3that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
3Nakach'olob xyâlal chêru chirix li c'a'ru quikil ut li c'a'ru quikabi re nak tocuânk chi sum âtin chi kibil kib. Ut tocuânk ajcui' chi sum âtin riq'uin li Acuabej Dios ut riq'uin li Jesucristo, li Ralal.
4And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.
4Sa' li hu a'in nakatakla xyebal êre re nak chitz'aklok ru lix sahil êch'ôl chêjunilex, jo' ajcui' lix sahil kach'ôl lâo.
5This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
5A'an a'in li âtin quikabi riq'uin li Jesucristo. Ut a'an li nakach'olob xyâlal chêru. Li Dios, a'an li cutan saken. Riq'uin li Dios mâc'a' k'ojyîn. Tîc ban xch'ôl li Dios. Relic chi yâl nak mâc'a' mâusilal riq'uin.
6If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth.
6Cui nakaye nak cuanco chi sum âtin riq'uin li Dios ut cui toj nakabânu li inc'a' us, yôco chi tic'ti'ic. Ut inc'a' nakatzol kib chixbânunquil li yâl.
7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
7Ut cui nakabânu li c'a'ru naraj li Dios, jo' naxc'utbesi chiku li Cristo, cuanco chic chi sum âtin chi kibil kib. Ut lix quiq'uel li Jesucristo li Ralal li Dios naxch'ajobresi li kâm ut narisi chixjunil li kamâc.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
8Cui nakaye nak mâc'a' kamâc, nakabalak'i kib ut moco yâl ta li yôco chixyebal.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
9Cui nakaxôto li kamâc chiru li Dios, relic chi yâl nak a'an tîc xch'ôl chixcuybal chixsachbal li kamâc, ut târisi chixjunil li kamâusilal.Cui ut nakaye nak inc'a' xomâcob nakaq'ue li Dios chok' aj tic'ti'. Ut inc'a' nakapâb li râtin.
10If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
10Cui ut nakaye nak inc'a' xomâcob nakaq'ue li Dios chok' aj tic'ti'. Ut inc'a' nakapâb li râtin.
