1 John 2
1 My little children, these things write I vnto you, that ye sinne not: and if any man sinne, wee haue an Aduocate with the Father, Iesus Christ, the Iust.
我的孩子們，我給你們寫這些事，是為叫你們不犯罪；但是，誰若犯了罪，我們在父那裏有正義的耶穌基督作護慰者。
2 And he is the reconciliation for our sinnes: and not for ours onely, but also for the sinnes of the whole world.
他自己就是贖罪祭，贖我們的罪過，不但贖我們的，而且也贖全世界的罪過。
3 And hereby we are sure that we knowe him, if we keepe his commandements.
如果我們遵守他的命令，由此便知道我們認識他。
4 Hee that saith, I knowe him, and keepeth not his commandements, is a liar, and the trueth is not in him.
那說「我認識他，」而不遵守他命令的，是撒謊的人，在他內沒有真理。
5 But hee that keepeth his worde, in him is the loue of God perfect in deede: hereby wee knowe that ye are in him.
但是，誰若遵守他的話，天主的愛在他內纔得以圓滿；由此我們也知道，我們是在他內。
6 He that saith he remaineth in him, ought euen so to walke, as he hath walked.
那說自己住在他內的，就應當照那一位所行的去行。
7 Brethren, I write no newe commandement vnto you: but an olde commandement, which ye haue had from the beginning: this olde commandement is that worde, which yee haue heard from the beginning.
可愛的諸位，我給你們寫的，不是一條新命令，而是你們從起初領受的舊命令：這舊命令就是你們所聽的道理。
8 Againe, a new comandement I write vnto you, that which is true in him, and also in you: for the darkenes is past, and that true light now shineth.
另一方面說，我給你們寫的也是一條新命令－－就是在他和你們身上成為事實的－－因為黑暗正在消逝，真光已在照耀。
9 He that saith that hee is in that light, and hateth his brother, is in darkenes, vntill this time.
誰說自己在光中，而惱恨自己的弟兄，他至今仍是在黑暗中。
10 Hee that loueth his brother, abideth in that light, and there is none occasion of euil in him.
凡愛自己弟兄的，就是存留在光中，對於他就沒有任何絆腳石；
11 But he that hateth his brother, is in darkenesse, and walketh in darkenesse, and knoweth not whither hee goeth, because that darkenesse hath blinded his eyes.
但是惱恨自己弟兄的，就是在黑暗中，且在黑暗中行走，不知道自己往那裏去，因為黑暗弄瞎了他的眼睛。
12 Litle children, I write vnto you, because your sinnes are forgiuen you for his Names sake.
孩子們，我給你們寫說：因他的名字，你們的罪已獲得赦免。
13 I write vnto you, fathers, because yee haue knowen him that is from the beginning. I write vnto you, yong men, because ye haue ouercome that wicked one. I write vnto you, litle children, because ye haue knowen ye Father.
父老們，我給你們寫說：你們已認識了從起初就有的那一位。青年們，我給你們寫說：你們已得勝了那惡者。
14 I haue written vnto you, fathers, because ye haue knowen him, that is from the beginning. I haue written vnto you, yong men, because ye are strong, and the worde of God abideth in you, and ye haue ouercome that wicked one.
小孩子們，我給你們寫過：你們已認識了父。父老們，我給你們寫過：你們已認識了從起初就有的那一位。青年們，我給你們寫過：你們是強壯的，天主的話存留在你們內，你們也得勝了那惡者。
15 Loue not this world, neither the things that are in this world. If any man loue this world, the loue of the Father is not in him.
你們不要愛世界，也不要愛世界上的事；誰若愛世界，天父的愛就不在他內。
16 For all that is in this world (as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life) is not of the Father, but is of this world.
原來世界上的一切：肉身的貪慾，眼目的貪慾，以及人生的驕奢，都不是出於父，而是出於世界。
17 And this world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that fulfilleth the will of God, abideth euer. (aiōn g165)
這世界和它的貪慾都要過去；但那履行天主旨意的，卻永遠存在。 (aiōn g165)
18 Litle children, it is the last time, and as ye haue heard that Antichrist shall come, euen now are there many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last time.
小孩子們，現在是最末的時期了！就如你們聽說過假基督要來，如今已經出了許多假基督，由此我們就知道現在是最末的時期了。
19 They went out from vs, but they were not of vs: for if they had bene of vs, they should haue continued with vs. But this cometh to passe, that it might appeare, that they are not all of vs.
他們是出於我們中的，但不是屬於我們的，因為，如果是屬於我們的，必存留在我們中；但這是為顯示他們都不是屬於我們。
20 But ye haue an ointment from that Holy one, and know all things.
至於你們，你們由聖者領受了傅油，並且你們都曉得。
21 I haue not written vnto you, because ye knowe not the trueth: but because ye knowe it, and that no lie is of the trueth.
我給你們寫信，不是你們不明白真理，而是因為你們明白真理，並明白各種謊言不是出於真理。
22 Who is a liar, but he that denyeth that Iesus is that Christ? the same is that Antichrist that denyeth the Father and the Sonne.
誰是撒謊的呢？豈不是那否認耶穌為默西亞的嗎？那否認父和子的，這人便是假基督。
23 Whosoeuer denyeth the Sonne, the same hath not the Father.
凡否認子的，也否認父；那明認子的，也有父。
24 Let therefore abide in you that same which ye haue heard from the beginning. If that which ye haue heard from the beginning, shall remaine in you, ye also shall continue in the Sonne, and in the Father.
至於你們，應把從起初所聽見的，存留在你們內；如果你們從起初所聽見的，存留在你們內，你們必存留在子和父內。
這就是他給我們所預許的恩惠：即永遠的生命。 (aiōnios g166)
26 These things haue I written vnto you, concerning them that deceiue you.
這些就是我關於迷惑你們的人，給你們所寫的。
27 But that anointing which ye receiued of him, dwelleth in you: and ye neede not that any man teach you: but as the same Anoynting teacheth you of all things, and it is true, and is not lying, and as it taught you, ye shall abide in him.
至於你們，你們由他所領受的傅油，常存在你們內，你們就不需要誰教訓你們，而是有他的傅油教訓你們一切。這傅油是真實的，決不虛假，所以這傅油怎樣教訓你們，你們就怎樣存留在他內。
28 And nowe, litle children, abide in him, that when he shall appeare, we may be bolde, and not be ashamed before him at his comming.
現在，孩子們，你們常存在他內罷！為的是當他顯現時，我們可以放心大膽，在他來臨時，不至於在他面前蒙羞。
29 If ye know that he is righteous, know ye that he which doeth righteously, is borne of him.
你們然既然知道他是正義的，就該知道凡履行正義的，都是由他而生的。
