< 1 Ivanova 2 >
1 Dječice moja, ovo vam pišem da ne griješite. Ako tko i sagriješi, zagovornika imamo kod Oca - Isusa Krista, Pravednika.
My children, I am writing this to you that you may not continue to sin; but if any one sin, we ever have a Comforter before the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.
2 On je pomirnica za grijeha naše, i ne samo naše, nego i svega svijeta.
And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
3 I po ovom znamo da ga poznajemo: ako zapovijedi njegove čuvamo.
This is how we may know that we have come to know Him, by always keeping his commandments.
4 Tko veli: “Poznajem ga”, a zapovijedi njegovih ne čuva, lažac je, u njemu nema istine.
He who says, "I know Him," but does no continue obeying his commandments, is a liar,
5 A tko čuva riječ njegovu, u njemu je zaista savršena ljubav Božja. Po tom znamo da smo u njemu.
and the truth is not in him; bit if any man obey his word, in him truly is the love of God made perfect. By this we come to know that we are in him.
6 Tko veli da u njemu ostaje, valja mu ići putom kojim je on hodio.
By who says he "remains in him" ought to spend his life as he spent his.
7 Ljubljeni, pišem vam ne novu zapovijed, nego staru zapovijed, koju ste imali od početka. Ta stara zapovijed jest riječ koju ste čuli.
Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, nay, and old commandment, which you have had from the beginning. That old commandment is the message to which you have listened.
8 A opet, novu vam zapovijed pišem - obistinjuje se u njemu i vama - jer tama prolazi, svjetlost istinita već svijetli.
Yet again it is a new commandment which I am writing to you, which is true in him and is you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
9 Tko veli da je u svjetlosti, a mrzi brata svojega, u tami je sve do sada.
He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 Tko ljubi brata svojega, u svjetlosti ostaje i sablazni u njemu nema.
But he who loves his brother is abiding in the light, and in it there is no cause of stumbling.
11 A tko mrzi brata svojega, u tami je, u tami hodi i ne zna kamo ide jer mu tama zaslijepi oči.
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and is spending his life in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Pišem vama, dječice, jer su vam grijesi oprošteni po njegovu imenu.
I am writing to you, little children, because you sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 Pišem vama, oci, jer upoznaste onoga koji je od početka. Pišem vama, mladići, jer ste pobijedili Zloga.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have fully overcome the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have learned to know the father.
14 Napisah vama, djeco, jer upoznaste Oca. Napisah vama, oci, jer upoznaste onoga koji je od početka. Napisah vama, mladići, jer ste jaki i riječ Božja u vama ostaje i pobijedili ste Zloga.
I have written to you, fathers, because you have learned to know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is abiding in you, and you have fully overcome the Evil One.
15 Ne ljubite svijeta ni što je u svijetu. Ako tko ljubi svijet, nema u njemu ljubavi Očeve.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 Jer što je god svjetovno - požuda tijela, i požuda očiju, i oholost života - nije od Oca, nego od svijeta.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the proud glory of life, is not from the Father, but from the world;
17 Svijet prolazi i požuda njegova, a tko čini volju Božju, ostaje dovijeka. (aiōn )
and the world and its lusts are passing away, but he who ever does the will of God abides forever. (aiōn )
18 Djeco, posljednji je čas! I, kako ste čuli, dolazi Antikrist. I sad su se već mnogi antikristi pojavili. Odatle znamo da je posljednji čas.
My children, this is the last hour, and as you have heard that an antichrist was coming, and now many antichrists are already risen, whence we may know that it is the last hour.
19 Od nas iziđoše, ali ne bijahu od nas. Jer kad bi bili od nas, ostali bi s nama; ali neka se očituje da nisu od nas.
They came forth from us, but they did not belong to us. If they had belonged to us they would certainly have remained with us, but they went out that they might be manifest that they all are not of us.
20 A vi imate Pomazanje od Svetoga, i znanje svi imate.
Now you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 Ne pisah vam zato što ne biste znali istine, nego jer je znate i jer znate da nikakva laž nije od istine.
I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and know that no lie is of the truth.
22 Tko je lažac, ako ne onaj koji tvrdi da Isus nije Krist? Antikrist je onaj
Who is the liar if not the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, even he who disowns the Father and the Son.
23 tko niječe Oca i Sina. Svaki koji niječe Sina, nema ni Oca, a tko priznaje Sina, ima i Oca.
Whoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father; but he who confesses the Son has the Father also. As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you.
24 A vi - što čuste od početka, u vama nek ostane. Ako u vama ostane što čuste od početka, i vi ćete ostati u Sinu i Ocu.
If what you have heard from the beginning is abiding in you, you also will ever abide in the Son and in the Father.
25 A ovo je obećanje koje nam on obeća: život vječni. (aiōnios )
And this is the promise which he has promised to us even life eternal. (aiōnios )
26 Ovo vam napisah o onima koji vas zavode.
I have written this to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 A vi - Pomazanje koje primiste od njega u vama ostaje i ne treba da vas itko poučava. Nego njegovo vas Pomazanje uči o svemu, a istinito je i nije laž, pa kao što vas je ono naučilo, ostanite u Njemu.
As to you, the unction you received from him remains ever in you, and you need no teaching from any one. But since his unction teaches you concerning all things and is true, and is no lie, abide continually in him, as it has taught you to do.
28 I sada, dječice, ostanite u njemu da budemo puni pouzdanja kad se pojavi te se ne postidimo pred njim o njegovu dolasku.
And now continue to abide in him, my children, so that when he shall appear we may have cheerful confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 Ako znate da je on Pravednik, znate i da je svaki koji čini pravdu od njega rođen.
If you know that he is righteous you know also that every one who habitually practises righteousness has been born of him.
