1 John 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 does not know us, because it did not know him.
Redziet, kādu lielu mīlestību Tas Tēvs mums ir parādījis, ka mēs topam saukti Dieva bērni. Tāpēc pasaule mūs nepazīst, ka tā Viņu nepazīst.
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.
Mīļie, tagad mēs esam Dieva bērni, un vēl nav atspīdējis, kas mēs būsim; bet mēs zinām, ka, kad Tas atspīdēs, mēs Viņam būsim līdzīgi, jo mēs Viņu redzēsim, kāds Viņš ir.
3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Un ikviens, kam šī cerība uz Viņu, šķīsta sevi pašu, tā kā Viņš ir šķīsts.
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
Ikviens, kas grēku dara, tas dara arī netaisnību, un grēks ir netaisnība.
5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
Un jūs zināt, ka Viņš ir parādījies, lai Viņš mūsu grēkus atņemtu, un iekš Viņa nav grēka.
6 Whoever remains in him does not sin. Whoever sins has not seen him and does not know him.
Ikviens, kas iekš Viņa paliek, tas negrēko; ikviens, kas grēko, Viņu nav redzējis, nedz Viņu atzinis.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Bērniņi, lai neviens jūs nepieviļ: kas taisnību dara, tas ir taisns, tā kā Viņš ir taisns.
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.
Kas grēku dara, tas ir no velna, jo velns grēko no iesākuma. Tādēļ Dieva Dēls ir atspīdējis, ka Viņš velna darbus izārdītu.
9 Whoever is born of God does not commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Ikviens, kas no Dieva piedzimis, tas nedara grēku, jo Viņa sēkla paliek iekš tā un tas nevar grēkot, jo tas no Dieva ir piedzimis.
10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever does not do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who does not love his brother.
Pie tam top zināmi Dieva bērni un velna bērni. Ikkatrs, kas taisnību nedara, tas nav no Dieva, un kas nemīl savu brāli.
11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
Jo šī ir tā sludināšana, ko jūs no iesākuma esat dzirdējuši, lai mēs cits citu mīlējam;
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.
Ne tā kā Kains, kas bija no tā ļaunā un savu brāli nokāva. Un kādēļ viņš to nokāva? Tāpēc ka viņa darbi bija ļauni, bet viņa brāļa darbi taisni.
13 Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
Nebrīnāties, mani brāļi, ja pasaule jūs ienīst.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love his brother remains in death.
Mēs zinām, ka esam pārcelti no nāves uz dzīvību, tāpēc ka mēs tos brāļus mīlējam; kas nemīl, tas paliek nāvē.
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has consummate (aiōnios g166) life remaining in him.
Ikviens, kas savu brāli ienīst, tas ir slepkava, un jūs zināt, ka nevienam slepkavam mūžīga dzīvība nav paliekama iekš viņa. (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.
Pie tam mēs esam atzinuši mīlestību, ka Viņš Savu dzīvību par mums ir nodevis, un mums arīdzan pienākas dzīvību nodot par tiem brāļiem.
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?
Bet ja kādam ir šās pasaules manta, un tas redz savu brāli trūkumu ciešam un aizslēdz savu sirdi priekš viņa, kā Dieva mīlestība paliek iekš tāda?
18 My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
Mani bērniņi, lai mēs nemīlējam ar vārdiem, nedz ar mēli, bet ar darbiem un ar patiesību.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
Un pie tam mēs atzīstam, ka esam no patiesības, un savas sirdis Viņa priekšā varam klusināt,
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Ka, ja mūsu sirds mūs pazudina, Dievs ir lielāks nekā mūsu sirds un zin visas lietas.
21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
Mīļie, ja mūsu sirds mūs nepazudina, tad mums ir drošība pie Dieva.
22 so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
Un ko vien mēs lūdzam, to no Viņa dabūjam, jo mēs turam Viņa baušļus un darām, kas Viņa priekšā ir patīkams.
23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.
Un šis ir Viņa bauslis, lai mēs ticam Viņa Dēla Jēzus Kristus Vārdam un lai cits citu mīlējam, tā kā Viņš mums bausli ir devis.
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.
Un kas Viņa baušļus tur, tas paliek iekš Viņa un Viņš iekš tā. Un pie tam atzīstam, ka Viņš iekš mums paliek, no Tā Gara, ko Viņš mums devis.
