1 John 2
1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
Mu lapsed, ma kirjutan teile selleks, et te ei teeks pattu. Aga kui keegi patustab, on meil Isa juures õige eestkostja, Jeesus Kristus.
2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
Tema on lepitusohver meie pattude eest, ja mitte ainult meie, vaid kogu maailma pattude eest.
3 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
Ja sellest me tunneme ära, et oleme tema ära tundnud, kui me täidame tema käske.
4 One who says, “I know him,” and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Kes väidab, et ta tunneb teda, aga tema käske ei täida, see on valetaja ja tõde ei ole tema sees.
5 But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:
Aga kes kuuletub tema sõnale, selles on tõesti Jumala armastus saanud täielikuks. Sellest me teamegi, et kuulume talle.
6 he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
Kes väidab end püsivat temas, peab elama nii, nagu Kristus elas.
7 Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.
Armsad, ma ei saada teile uut käsku, vaid vana käsu, mis on olnud teil algusest peale. Vana käsk on see sõna, mida te olete kuulnud.
8 Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light already shines.
Samas on see ka uus käsk, mis on tõeks saanud Kristuses ja ka teis, sest pimedus kaob ja tõeline valgus juba paistab.
9 He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.
Kes väidab enese olevat valguses, kuid vihkab oma venda, on ikka veel pimeduses.
10 He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
Kes oma venda armastab, see püsib valguses ja ta ei pane kedagi komistama.
11 But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Aga kes oma venda vihkab, see on pimeduses. Ta kõnnib pimedas ega tea, kuhu läheb, sest ta silmad on löödud pimedusega.
12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
Ma kirjutan teile, lapsed, sest teie patud on teile andeks antud Jeesuse nime pärast.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
Ma kirjutan teile, isad, sest te tunnete teda, kes on olnud algusest peale. Ma kirjutan teile, noored mehed, sest te olete ära võitnud kurja.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
Ma olen kirjutanud teile, lapsed, sest te tunnete Isa. Ma olen kirjutanud teile, isad, sest te tunnete teda, kes on olnud algusest peale. Ma olen kirjutanud teile, noored mehed, sest te olete tugevad ja Jumala sõna elab teis ja te olete ära võitnud kurja.
15 Do not love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love is not in him.
Ärge armastage maailma ega midagi, mis on maailmas! Kes armastab maailma, selles ei ole armastust Isa vastu.
16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not the Father’s, but is the world’s.
Kõik see, mis on maailmas – lihahimu, silmahimu ja elukõrkus – ei pärine Isast, vaid on maailmast.
17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains for the age (aiōn g165).
Maailm kaob ja selle himud, aga kes täidab Jumala tahet, elab igavesti. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
Lapsed, käes on viimne tund! Te olete kuulnud, et antikristus tuleb. Nüüd ongi välja ilmunud palju antikristusi, ja sellest me tunneme ära, et käes on viimne tund.
19 They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
Nad on välja läinud meie seast, aga nad ei ole kuulunud meie hulka. Kui nad oleksid kuulunud meie hulka, siis nad oleksid jäänud meiega. Aga nende lahkumisega sai selgeks, et ükski neist ei kuulunud meie hulka.
20 You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.
Ent teil on ju võidmine sellelt, kes on Püha, ja te kõik teate tõde.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Ma ei kirjutanud teile mitte sellepärast, et te tõde ei tea, vaid et te teate seda, ja et ükski vale ei tule tõe seest.
22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
Kes veel on valetaja, kui mitte see, kes salgab, et Jeesus on Kristus? Antikristus on see, kes salgab Isa ja Poega.
23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Kes salgab Poja, sellel pole ka Isa; kes tunnistab Poega, sellel on ka Isa.
24 Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
Mida te olete algusest peale kuulnud, see püsigu teie sees! Kui teis püsib see, mida te olete algusest peale kuulnud, siis püsite teiegi Pojas ja Isas.
Ja see on tõotus, mis tema on meile tõotanud – igavene elu. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
Seda ma kirjutasin teile nendest, kes tahavad teid eksitada.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.
Aga teie olete saanud Kristuselt võidmise, mis püsib teis ning te ei vaja, et keegi teid õpetaks; sest tema võidmine õpetab teile kõike, mis on tõde ja mitte vale. Niisiis, püsige temas, nagu tema teid on õpetanud!
28 Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Ja nüüd, lapsed, jääge temasse, et kui tema saab avalikuks, oleksime tema tulemise päeval julged ega peaks häbenema tema ees.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
Kui te teate, et Jumal on õige, siis saate olla kindlad, et igaüks, kes teeb õigust, on Jumalast sündinud.
