1 John 3
1 Behold what manner of charity the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called, and should be the sons of God. Therefore the world knoweth not us, because it knew not him.
हेर, पिताले हामीलाई कस्तो किसिमको प्रेम दिनुभएको छ, कि हामीलाई परमेश्वरको सन्तान भनियोस् र हामी यही हौँ । यसैकारण, संसारले हामीलाई चिन्दैन, किनकि संसारले उहाँलाई चिनेन ।
2 Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God; and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know, that, when he shall appear, we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is.
प्रिय हो, अब हामी परमेश्वरका सन्तानहरू हौँ, र हामी के हुनेछौँ भन्ने अझ पनि प्रकट गरिएको छैन । हामी जान्दछौँ, कि जब येशू देखा पर्नुहुनेछ, हामी उहाँजस्तै हुनेछौँ, किनकि उहाँजस्तो हुनुहुन्छ त्यस्तै हामी उहाँलाई देख्नेछौँ ।
3 And every one that hath this hope in him, sanctifieth himself, as he also is holy.
उहाँमा यो दृढता हुने हरेकले आफूलाई उहाँ जस्तो शुद्ध हुनुहुन्छ त्यस्तै शुद्ध पार्छ ।
4 Whosoever committeth sin committeth also iniquity; and sin is iniquity.
पाप गर्ने हरेकले व्यवस्था भङ्ग गर्छ, पाप व्यवस्था भङ्ग हो ।
5 And you know that he appeared to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin.
पापहरू हटाई लानलाई नै ख्रीष्ट प्रकट हुनुभयो भन्ने तिमीहरू जान्दछौ, र उहाँमा कुनै पाप छैन ।
6 Whosoever abideth in him, sinneth not; and whosoever sinneth, hath not seen him, nor known him.
उहाँमा रहनेले पाप गर्दैन । पाप गर्नेले न उहाँलाई देखेको छ न चिनेको नै हुन्छ ।
7 Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just.
प्रिय बालकहरू हो, तिमीहरूलाई कसैले नबहकाओस् । जस्तो ख्रीष्ट धर्मिक हुनुहुन्छ त्यस्तै धार्मिकता गर्ने नै धर्मी हो ।
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
जसले पाप गर्छ, त्यो शैतानको हो, किनभने शैतानले सुरुदेखि नै पाप गरेको छ । यसैकारण, परमेश्वरको पुत्र प्रकट हुनुभयो, ताकि उहाँले शैतानका कामहरू नष्ट गर्नुभएको होस् ।
9 Whosoever is born of God, committeth not sin: for his seed abideth in him, and he can not sin, because he is born of God.
जो परमेश्वरबाट जन्मेको छ त्यसले पाप गर्दैन, किनकि परमेश्वरको स्वभाव त्यसमा रहन्छ, र उसले पाप गर्न सक्दैन, किनकि त्यो परमेश्वरबाट जन्मेको हो ।
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever is not just, is not of God, nor he that loveth not his brother.
यसैमा परमेश्वरका सन्तानहरू र शैतानका सन्तानहरू प्रकट गरिन्छन् । जसले धार्मिकता गर्दैन त्यो परमेश्वरको होइन, न आफ्नो भाइलाई प्रेम नगर्ने नै हो ।
11 For this is the declaration, which you have heard from the beginning, that you should love one another.
तिमीले सुरुदेखि सुनेको सन्देश यही नै हो, हामीले एक अर्कालाई प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ ।
12 Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and killed his brother. And wherefore did he kill him? Because his own works were wicked: and his brother’s just.
कयिनजस्तो होइन जो दुष्टको थियो र त्यसले आफ्नो भाइलाई मार्यो । अनि उसले आफ्नो भाइको हत्या किन गर्यो? किनकि उसका कामहरू दुष्ट थिए र उसको भाइका काम धार्मिक थिए ।
13 Wonder not, brethren, if the world hate you.
मेरा भाइहरू, यदि संसारले तिमीहरूलाई घृणा गर्छ भने तिमीहरू अचम्म नमान ।
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not, abideth in death.
हामी जान्दछौँ, कि हामी मृत्यु पार गरेर जीवनमा सरेका छौँ, किनकि हामी दाजुभाइहरूलाई प्रेम गर्छौं । जसले प्रेम गर्दैन, त्यो मृत्युमा रहन्छ ।
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in himself. (aiōnios g166)
जसले आफ्नो भाइलाई घृणा गर्छ त्यो हत्यारा हो । अनि तिमीहरू जान्दछौ, कि कुनै पनि हत्यारासँग अनन्त जीवन हुँदैन । (aiōnios g166)
16 In this we have known the charity of God, because he hath laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
यसैद्वारा हामी प्रेम थाहा पाउँछौँ, किनकि ख्रीष्टले हाम्रो निम्ति आफ्नो जीवन दिनुभयो । हामीले पनि हाम्रा दाजुभाइहरूका निम्ति हाम्रो जीवन दिनुपर्छ ।
17 He that hath the substance of this world, and shall see his brother in need, and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him?
तर जससँग संसारका थोकहरू छन्, जसले आफनो भाइ खाँचोमा परेको देखेर पनि दयाको हृदय त्यसबाट बन्द गर्छ भने कसरी परमेश्वरको प्रेम त्यसमा रहन्छ?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in truth.
मेरा प्रिय बालकहरूल हो, हामी वचन र मुखले मात्र प्रेम नगरौँ, तर सत्यता र कामले प्रेम गरौँ ।
19 In this we know that we are of the truth: and in his sight shall persuade our hearts.
यसैद्वारा हामी सत्यका हौँ भन्ने जान्दछौँ र हाम्रो हृदयलाई उहाँको सामुन्ने निश्चय गर्छौं ।
20 For if our heart reprehend us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
किनकि यदि हाम्रो हृदयले हामीलाई दोष दिन्छ भने परमेश्वर हाम्रो हृदयभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँले सबै थोक जान्नुहुन्छ ।
21 Dearly beloved, if our heart do not reprehend us, we have confidence towards God:
प्रिय हो, यदि हाम्रो हृदयले हामीलाई दोष दिँदैन भने हामी परमेश्वरप्रति दृढ छौँ ।
22 And whatsoever we shall ask, we shall receive of him: because we keep his commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.
अनि हामीले जे माग्छौँ त्यो हामी उहाँबाट पाउँछौँ, किनकि हामीले उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्छौं र उहाँको दृष्टिमा असल हुने थोकहरू गर्छौं ।
23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ: and love one another, as he hath given commandment unto us.
अनि यो उहाँको आज्ञा हो, जस्तो उहाँले हामीलाई यो आज्ञा दिनुभयो, हामीले उहाँका पुत्र येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँमा विश्वास गर्नुपर्छ र एक अर्कोलाई प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ ।
24 And he that keepeth his commandments, abideth in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
जसले परमेश्वरका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्छ, त्यो उहाँमा रहन्छ र परमेश्वर त्यसमा रहनुहुन्छ । अनि यसैद्वारा हामी जान्दछौ, कि हामीलाई दिनुभएको पवित्र आत्माद्वारा उहाँ हामीमा रहनुहुन्छ ।
