1 Ivanova 5
1 Tko god vjeruje: “Isus je Krist”, od Boga je rođen. I tko god ljubi roditelja, ljubi i rođenoga.
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and everyone who loves a parent loves his child.
2 Po ovom znamo da ljubimo djecu Božju: kad Boga ljubimo i zapovijedi njegove vršimo.
By this we know that we love God’s children – when we love God and carry out his commands.
3 Jer ljubav je Božja ovo: zapovijedi njegove čuvati. A zapovijedi njegove nisu teške.
For to love God is to do what he commands and his commands are not a burden,
4 Jer sve što je od Boga rođeno, pobjeđuje svijet. I ovo je pobjeda što pobijedi svijet: vjera naša.
for whatever is born of God overcomes the world. What is the victory by which the world is overcome? Our faith!
5 Ta tko to pobjeđuje svijet ako ne onaj tko vjeruje da je Isus Sin Božji?
Who can overcome the world but the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 On, Isus Krist, dođe kroz vodu i krv. Ne samo u vodi nego - u vodi i krvi. I Duh je koji svjedoči jer Duh je istina.
Jesus Christ, the one who came by water and blood – not by water only but by water and blood – and the Spirit testifies to this because the Spirit is truth.
7 Jer troje je što svjedoči:
Indeed three testify:
8 Duh, voda i krv; i to je troje jedno.
the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and these three agree.
9 Ako primamo svjedočanstvo ljudi, svjedočanstvo je Božje veće. Jer ovo je svjedočanstvo Božje, kojim je svjedočio za Sina svoga:
We accept human testimony, surely God’s testimony is even stronger! And God’s testimony is the testimony he has given about his Son.
10 Tko vjeruje u Sina Božjega, ima to svjedočanstvo Božje u sebi. Tko ne vjeruje Bogu, učinio ga je lašcem jer nije vjerovao u svjedočanstvo kojim je svjedočio Bog za Sina svoga.
The person who believes in the Son of God has that testimony within them. The person who does not believe God has made God a liar, by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son.
11 I ovo je svjedočanstvo: Bog nam je dao život vječni; i taj je život u Sinu njegovu. (aiōnios g166)
And this is that testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Tko ima Sina, ima život; tko nema Sina Božjega, nema života.
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever who doesn’t have God’s Son does not have life.
I have written these things to you who believe in the name of God’s Son, so that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
14 I ovo je pouzdanje koje imamo u njega: ako što ištemo po volji njegovoj, uslišava nas.
We can approach him with this confidence, that whenever we ask anything that is in accordance with his will, he listens to us.
15 I znamo li da nas uslišava u svemu što ištemo, znamo da već imamo što smo od njega iskali.
And if we know he hears us – whatever we ask – we know also that what we ask for is ours.
16 Vidi li tko brata svojega gdje čini grijeh koji nije na smrt, neka ište i dat će mu život - onima koji čine grijeh što nije na smrt. Ima grijeh što je na smrt; za nj ne velim da moli.
If anyone sees one of our people committing some sin that is not a sin leading to death, they should ask, and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that.
17 Svaka je nepravda grijeh. A postoji grijeh koji nije na smrt.
All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.
18 Znamo: tko god je rođen od Boga, ne griješi; nego Rođeni od Boga čuva ga i Zli ga se ne dotiče.
We know that those who have been born of God do not keep sinning. God protects his children and the evil one cannot get hold of them.
19 Znamo: od Boga smo, a sav je svijet pod Zlim.
We know that we are God’s children, though the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
20 Znamo: Sin je Božji došao i dao nam razum da poznamo Istinitoga. I mi smo u Istinitom, u Sinu njegovu, Isusu Kristu. On je Bog istiniti i Život vječni. (aiōnios g166)
We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true God – and we are in him who is true, by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Dječice, klonite se idola!
My children, guard yourselves against false ideas of God.
