1 John 5
1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten by God; also, whoever loves the Begetter should love the one begotten by Him as well.
yīśurabhiṣiktastrāteti yaḥ kaścid viśvāsiti sa īśvarāt jātaḥ; aparaṁ yaḥ kaścit janayitari prīyate sa tasmāt jāte jane 'pi prīyate|
2 In this we know that we love the children of God, whenever we love God and keep His commandments.
vayam īśvarasya santāneṣu prīyāmahe tad anena jānīmo yad īśvare prīyāmahe tasyājñāḥ pālayāmaśca|
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; His commandments are not burdensome,
yata īśvare yat prema tat tadīyājñāpālanenāsmābhiḥ prakāśayitavyaṁ, tasyājñāśca kaṭhorā na bhavanti|
4 in that whatever has been begotten by God overcomes the world; this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
yato yaḥ kaścid īśvarāt jātaḥ sa saṁsāraṁ jayati kiñcāsmākaṁ yo viśvāsaḥ sa evāsmākaṁ saṁsārajayijayaḥ|
5 Who is he who overcomes the world if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
yīśurīśvarasya putra iti yo viśvasiti taṁ vinā ko'paraḥ saṁsāraṁ jayati?
6 This is He who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the Truth;
so'bhiṣiktastrātā yīśustoyarudhirābhyām āgataḥ kevalaṁ toyena nahi kintu toyarudhirābhyām, ātmā ca sākṣī bhavati yata ātmā satyatāsvarūpaḥ|
7 actually there are three who bear witness
yato hetoḥ svarge pitā vādaḥ pavitra ātmā ca traya ime sākṣiṇaḥ santi, traya ime caiko bhavanti|
8 —the Spirit, the water and the blood—and the three are to one effect.
tathā pṛthivyām ātmā toyaṁ rudhirañca trīṇyetāni sākṣyaṁ dadāti teṣāṁ trayāṇām ekatvaṁ bhavati ca|
9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is God's testimony which He has testified concerning His Son.
mānavānāṁ sākṣyaṁ yadyasmābhi rgṛhyate tarhīśvarasya sākṣyaṁ tasmādapi śreṣṭhaṁ yataḥ svaputramadhīśvareṇa dattaṁ sākṣyamidaṁ|
10 He who believes into the Son of God has the witness within himself; he who does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning His Son.
īśvarasya putre yo viśvāsiti sa nijāntare tat sākṣyaṁ dhārayati; īśvare yo na viśvasiti sa tam anṛtavādinaṁ karoti yata īśvaraḥ svaputramadhi yat sākṣyaṁ dattavān tasmin sa na viśvasiti|
11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. (aiōnios g166)
tacca sākṣyamidaṁ yad īśvaro 'smabhyam anantajīvanaṁ dattavān tacca jīvanaṁ tasya putre vidyate| (aiōnios g166)
12 He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
yaḥ putraṁ dhārayati sa jīvanaṁ dhāriyati, īśvarasya putraṁ yo na dhārayati sa jīvanaṁ na dhārayati|
13 I have written these things to you who believe into the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life, really believing into the name of God's Son. (aiōnios g166)
īśvaraputrasya nāmni yuṣmān pratyetāni mayā likhitāni tasyābhiprāyo 'yaṁ yad yūyam anantajīvanaprāptā iti jānīyāta tasyeśvaraputrasya nāmni viśvaseta ca| (aiōnios g166)
14 Now this is the confidence that we have toward Him: if we should ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
tasyāntike 'smākaṁ yā pratibhā bhavati tasyāḥ kāraṇamidaṁ yad vayaṁ yadi tasyābhimataṁ kimapi taṁ yācāmahe tarhi so 'smākaṁ vākyaṁ śṛṇoti|
15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we may ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him.
sa cāsmākaṁ yat kiñcana yācanaṁ śṛṇotīti yadi jānīmastarhi tasmād yācitā varā asmābhiḥ prāpyante tadapi jānīmaḥ|
16 If anyone should see his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, let him ask, and He will give him life for those who do not sin unto death. There is sin leading to death; I am not saying that he should make request about that.
kaścid yadi svabhrātaram amṛtyujanakaṁ pāpaṁ kurvvantaṁ paśyati tarhi sa prārthanāṁ karotu teneśvarastasmai jīvanaṁ dāsyati, arthato mṛtyujanakaṁ pāpaṁ yena nākāritasmai| kintu mṛtyujanakam ekaṁ pāpam āste tadadhi tena prārthanā kriyatāmityahaṁ na vadāmi|
17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
sarvva evādharmmaḥ pāpaṁ kintu sarvvapāṁpa mṛtyujanakaṁ nahi|
18 We know that whoever has been begotten by God does not sin; rather the one who was begotten by God preserves himself, and the evil one does not touch him.
ya īśvarāt jātaḥ sa pāpācāraṁ na karoti kintvīśvarāt jāto janaḥ svaṁ rakṣati tasmāt sa pāpātmā taṁ na spṛśatīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
vayam īśvarāt jātāḥ kintu kṛtsnaḥ saṁsāraḥ pāpātmano vaśaṁ gato 'stīti jānīmaḥ|
20 We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the genuine God, and the Life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
aparam īśvarasya putra āgatavān vayañca yayā tasya satyamayasya jñānaṁ prāpnuyāmastādṛśīṁ dhiyam asmabhyaṁ dattavān iti jānīmastasmin satyamaye 'rthatastasya putre yīśukhrīṣṭe tiṣṭhāmaśca; sa eva satyamaya īśvaro 'nantajīvanasvarūpaścāsti| (aiōnios g166)
21 Dear children, guard yourselves from idols. Amen.
he priyabālakāḥ, yūyaṁ devamūrttibhyaḥ svān rakṣata| āmen|
