1 John 3
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
Kitaenyo no ania a kita ti panagayat ti impaay kadatayo ti Ama, nga uray la naawagantayo iti annak ti Dios, ken daytoy ti kinasiasinotayo! Gapu iti daytoy, saannatayo nga am-ammo ti lubong, gapu ta saan isuna nga am-ammo ti lubong.
2 Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.
Ay-ayatek, ita ket annaknatayon ti Dios, ken saanpay a naiparangarang no anianto ti pagbalinantayo. Ammotayo nga inton agparang ni Cristo, agbalintayonto a kas kenkuana, ta makitatayonto isuna iti kinasiasinona.
3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.
Ken amin nga addaan iti kastoy a kinatalged kenkuana maipanggep iti masakbayan ket paspasin-awenna ti bagina a kas met kenkuana a nasin-aw.
4 Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.
Amin nga agtultuloy iti panagbasol ket agar-aramid iti aramid nga awanan-linteg. Ta ti basol ket kinaawan-linteg.
5 But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.
Ammoyo a ni Cristo ket naipakaammo tapno mangikkat kadagiti basbasol. Ket kenkuana, awan ti basol.
6 No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.
Awan ti agtalinaed kenkuana nga agtultuloy iti panagbasol. Awan ti siasinoman nga agtultuloy nga agbasbasol a nakakita kenkuana wenno nakaam-amo kenkuana.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.
Patpatgek nga annak, saanyo nga itulok nga adda mangiyaw-awan kadakayo. Isuna nga agar-aramid iti kinalinteg ket nalinteg, a kas kenni Cristo a nalinteg.
8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.
Isuna nga agar-aramid iti basol ket kukua ti diablo, ta ti diablo ket nagbasol manipud idi punganay. Daytoy ti makagapu a naiparangarang ti Anak ti Dios, tapno dadaelenna dagiti trabaho ti diablo.
9 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
Siasinoman a naipasngay iti Dios ket saan nga agbasol, gapu ta agtaltalinaed kenkuana ti bukel ti Dios. Saan isuna a makapagtultuloy nga agbasol, gapu ta naipasngay isuna iti Dios.
10 By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
Iti daytoy, dagiti annak ti Dios ken dagiti annak ti diablo ket naiparangarang. Siasinoman a saan a mangaramid iti nalinteg ket saan a naggapu iti Dios, uray ti saan a mangay-ayat iti kabsatna.
11 This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
Ta daytoy ti mensahe a nangngeganyo manipud idi punganay, a masapul nga agiinnayattayo,
12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did Cain slay him? Because his own deeds were evil, while those of his brother were righteous.
saan a kas kenni Cain a kukua ti diablo ken nangpatay iti kabsatna a lalaki. Ken apay a pinatayna isuna? Gapu ta dagiti aramidna ket dakes, ket dagiti aramid ti kabsatna a lalaki ket nalinteg.
13 So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
Saankayo nga agsiddaaw, kakabsatko, no kaguradakayo ti lubong.
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.
Ammotayo a nakalasattayon manipud iti patay ket addatayon iti biag, gapu ta ay-ayatentayo dagiti kakabsat. Siasinoman a saan nga agayat ket agtalinaed iti patay.
15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer. (aiōnios g166)
Siasinoman a manggura iti kabsatna ket mammapatay. Ket ammoyo a ti agnanayon a biag ket saan nga agtalinaed iti mammapatay. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
Babaen iti daytoy nga ammotayo ti ayat, gapu ta inted ni Cristo ti biagna gapu kadatayo. Rebbengtayo met ngarud nga ipaay dagiti biagtayo para kadagiti kakabsat.
17 If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?
Ngem kasano a maibaga nga adda ti ayat ti Dios iti siasinoman nga addaan kadagiti banbanag iti lubong a makakita iti kabsatna nga agkasapulan, ngem iserrana met ti manangngaasi a pusona iti agkasapulan iti tulongna?
18 Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.
Patpatgek nga annak, saantayo nga agayat iti sao laeng wenno iti dila, ngem iti aramid ken kinapudno.
19 And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence:
Babaen iti daytoy nga ammotayo nga addatayo iti kinapudno ken patalgedentayo ti pusotayo iti sanggoananna.
20 Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.
Gapu ta no akusarannatayo ti pusotayo, dakdakkel ti Dios ngem ti pusotayo, ken ammona ti amin a banag.
21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God,
Ay-ayatek, no saannatayo nga akusaran dagiti pusotayo, addaantayo iti kinatalged iti Dios.
22 and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.
Ken aniaman a dawatentayo ket awatentayo manipud kenkuana, gapu ta tungtungpalentayo dagiti bilinna ken ar-aramidentayo dagiti banbanag a makaay-ayo iti imatangna.
23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us.
Ken daytoy ti bilinna, a masapul a mamatitayo iti nagan ti Anakna a ni Jesu-Cristo ken agiinnayattayo - gapu ta intedna kadatayo daytoy a bilin.
24 Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us.
Isuna a mangtungtungpal kadagiti bilbilin ti Dios ket agtalinaed kenkuana, ken agtaltalinaed ti Dios kenkuana. Ken babaen iti daytoy nga ammotayo nga agtaltalinaed isuna kadatayo, babaen iti Espiritu nga intedna kadatayo.
