1 John 3
1 See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called [the] children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
Dubi irin ƙaunar da Uba ya ƙaunace mu da ita mana, har ana ce da mu’ya’yan Allah! Haka kuwa muke! Dalilin da ya sa duniya ba tă san mu ba shi ne, don ba tă san shi ba.
2 Beloved, now are we children of God, and what we shall be has not yet been manifested; we know that if it is manifested we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
Abokaina ƙaunatattu, yanzu, mu’ya’yan Allah ne, kuma abin da za mu zama nan gaba ba a riga an bayyana ba. Sai dai mun san cewa sa’ad da Kiristi ya bayyana, za mu zama kamar sa, domin za mu gan shi kamar yadda yake.
3 And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Duk mai wannan bege a cikinsa yakan tsarkake kansa, kamar yadda shi Kiristi yake da tsabta.
4 Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
Duk mai yin zunubi yana karya doka ne; tabbatacce, zunubi, karya doka ne.
5 And ye know that he has been manifested that he might take away our sins; and in him sin is not.
Sai dai kun san cewa Kiristi ya bayyana ne domin yă ɗauke zunubanmu. A cikinsa kuwa babu zunubi.
6 Whoever abides in him, does not sin: whoever sins, has not seen him or known him.
Ba mai rayuwa a cikinsa da yake cin gaba da yin zunubi. Kowa da yake aikata zunubi, bai taɓa ganinsa ba, bai ma san shi ba.
7 Children, let no man lead you astray; he that practises righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
’Ya’yana ƙaunatattu, kada ku yarda wani yă ruɗe ku. Duk mai yin abin da yake daidai mai adalci ne, yadda Kiristi yake mai adalci.
8 He that practises sin is of the devil; for from [the] beginning the devil sins. To this end the Son of God has been manifested, that he might undo the works of the devil.
Duk mai aikata abin da yake zunubi shi na Iblis ne, domin Iblis mai aikata zunubi ne tun farko. Dalilin da ya sa Ɗan Allah ya bayyana kuwa shi ne don yă rushe aikin Iblis.
9 Whoever has been begotten of God does not practise sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.
Babu haifaffe na Allah da zai ci gaba da yin zunubi, domin iri na Allah yana a cikinsa; ba zai iya ci gaba da yin zunubi ba, domin haifaffe ne na Allah.
10 In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the devil. Whoever does not practise righteousness is not of God, and he who does not love his brother.
Ta haka muka san waɗanda suke’ya’yan Allah da kuma waɗanda suke’ya’yan Iblis. Duk wanda ba ya yin abin da yake daidai, ba ɗan Allah ba ne; haka ma wanda ba ya ƙaunar ɗan’uwansa.
11 For this is the message which ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:
Wannan shi ne saƙon da kuka ji tun farko. Ya kamata mu ƙaunaci juna.
12 not as Cain was of the wicked one, and slew his brother; and on account of what slew he him? because his works were wicked, and those of his brother righteous.
Kada ku zama kamar Kayinu, wanda ya zama na mugun nan, ya kuma kashe ɗan’uwansa. Me ya sa ya kashe shi? Domin ayyukansa mugaye ne, na ɗan’uwansa kuma na adalci ne.
13 Do not wonder, brethren, if the world hate you.
Kada ku yi mamaki’yan’uwana, in duniya ta ƙi ku.
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love [his] brother abides in death.
Mun san cewa mun riga mun ratsa daga mutuwa zuwa rai, domin muna ƙaunar’yan’uwanmu. Duk wanda ba ya ƙauna matacce ne har yanzu.
15 Every one that hates his brother is a murderer, and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
Duk mai ƙin ɗan’uwansa mai kisankai ne, kun kuma san cewa ba mai kisankan da yake da rai madawwami a cikinsa. (aiōnios g166)
16 Hereby we have known love, because he has laid down his life for us; and we ought for the brethren to lay down [our] lives.
Yadda muka san ƙauna ke nan, wato, Yesu Kiristi ya ba da ransa dominmu. Ya kamata mu ma mu ba da rayukanmu domin’yan’uwanmu.
17 But whoso may have the world's substance, and see his brother having need, and shut up his bowels from him, how abides the love of God in him?
In wani yana da arziki, ya kuma ga ɗan’uwansa cikin rashi, bai kuwa taimake shi ba, anya, ƙaunar Allah tana a cikinsa kuwa?
18 Children, let us not love with word, nor with tongue, but in deed and in truth.
’Ya’yana ƙaunatattu, kada mu yi ƙauna da fatar baki kawai, sai dai mu nuna ta ta wurin aikatawa da kuma gaskiya.
19 And hereby we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall persuade our hearts before him —
Ta haka muka san cewa mu na gaskiya ne, kuma za mu iya tsaya a gaban Allah ba tare da rawar jiki ba.
20 that if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
Idan zuciyarmu ta nuna mana muna da laifi, mun san cewa Allah ya fi zuciyarmu, ya kuma san dukan kome.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness towards God,
Abokaina ƙaunatattu, in zukatanmu ba su ba mu laifi ba, muna da ƙarfin halin tsayawa a gaban Allah ke nan.
22 and whatsoever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and practise the things which are pleasing in his sight.
Muna kuma samun dukan abin da muka roƙa daga gare shi, domin muna biyayya da umarnansa, muna kuma yin abin da ya gamshe shi.
23 And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and that we love one another, even as he has given us commandment.
Umarninsa kuwa shi ne, mu gaskata da sunan Ɗansa, Yesu Kiristi, mu kuma ƙaunaci juna kamar yadda ya umarce mu.
24 And he that keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given to us.
Waɗanda suke biyayya da umarnansa kuwa suna rayuwa a cikinsa, shi kuma a cikinsu. Ta haka muka san cewa yana raye a cikinmu. Mun san haka ta wurin Ruhun da ya ba mu.
