1 John 3
1 Behold, what loue the Father hath giuen to vs, that we should be called the sonnes of God: for this cause this world knoweth you not, because it knoweth not him.
Vidite kakvu nam je ljubav dao otac, da se djeca Božija nazovemo i budemo; zato svijet ne poznaje nas, jer njega ne pozna.
2 Dearely beloued, nowe are we the sonnes of God, but yet it is not made manifest what we shall be: and we know that when he shalbe made manifest, we shalbe like him: for we shall see him as he is.
Ljubazni! sad smo djeca Božija, i još se ne pokaza šta æemo biti; nego znamo da kad se pokaže, biæemo kao i on, jer æemo ga vidjeti kao što jest.
3 And euery man that hath this hope in him, purgeth himselfe, euen as he is pure.
I svaki koji ovaj nad ima na njega, èisti se, kao i on što je èist.
4 Whosoeuer committeth sinne, transgresseth also the Law: for sinne is the transgression of the Lawe.
Svaki koji èini grijeh i bezakonje èini: i grijeh je bezakonje.
5 And ye knowe that hee was made manifest, that he might take away our sinnes, and in him is no sinne.
I znate da se on javi da grijehe naše uzme; i grijeha u njemu nema.
6 Whosoeuer abideth in him, sinneth not: whosoeuer sinneth, hath not seene him, neither hath knowen him.
Koji god u njemu stoji ne griješi; koji god griješi ne vidje ga niti ga pozna.
7 Litle children, let no man deceiue you: he that doeth righteousnes, is righteous, as hee is righteous.
Djeèice! niko da vas ne vara: koji pravdu tvori pravednik je, kao što je on pravedan;
8 He that comitteth sinne, is of the deuil: for the deuill sinneth from the beginning: for this purpose was made manifest that Sonne of God, that he might loose the workes of the deuil.
Koji tvori grijeh od ðavola je, jer ðavo griješi od poèetka. Zato se javi sin Božij da raskopa djela ðavolja.
9 Whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: for his seede remaineth in him, neither can hee sinne, because he is borne of God.
Koji je god roðen od Boga ne èini grijeha, jer njegovo sjeme stoji u njemu, i ne može griješiti, jer je roðen od Boga.
10 In this are the children of God knowen, and the children of the deuil: whosoeuer doeth not righteousnesse, is not of God, neither he that loueth not his brother.
Po tom se poznaju djeca Božija i djeca ðavolja: koji god ne tvori pravde, nije od Boga, i koji ne ljubi brata svojega.
11 For this is the message, that ye heard from the beginning, that we should loue one another,
Jer je ovo zapovijest, koju èuste ispoèetka, da ljubimo jedan drugoga.
12 Not as Cain which was of that wicked one, and slewe his brother: and wherefore slewe he him? because his owne workes were euill, and his brothers good.
Ne kao što Kain bješe od neèastivoga i zakla brata svojega. I za koji ga uzrok zakla? Jer djela njegova bijahu zla, a brata mu pravedna.
13 Marueile not, my brethren, though this world hate you.
Ne èudite se, braæo moja, ako svijet mrzi na vas.
14 We know that we are translated from death vnto life, because we loue the brethren: he that loueth not his brother, abideth in death.
Mi znamo da prijeðosmo iz smrti u život, jer ljubimo braæu; jer ko ne ljubi brata ostaje u smrti.
15 Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a manslayer: and ye know that no manslayer hath eternall life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
Svaki koji mrzi na brata svojega krvnik je ljudski; i znate da nijedan krvnik ljudski nema u sebi vjeènoga života. (aiōnios g166)
16 Hereby haue we perceiued loue, that he layde downe his life for vs: therefore we ought also to lay downe our liues for the brethren.
Po tom poznasmo ljubav što on za nas dušu svoju položi: mi smo dužni polagati duše za braæu.
17 And whosoeuer hath this worlds good, and seeth his brother haue neede, and shutteth vp his compassion from him, howe dwelleth the loue of God in him?
Koji dakle ima bogatstvo ovoga svijeta, i vidi brata svojega u nevolji i zatvori srce svoje od njega, kako ljubav Božija stoji u njemu?
18 My litle children, let vs not loue in worde, neither in tongue onely, but in deede and in trueth.
Djeèice moja! da se ne ljubimo rijeèju ni jezikom, nego djelom i istinom.
19 For thereby we know that we are of the trueth, and shall before him assure our hearts.
I po tom doznajemo da smo od istine, i pred njim tješimo srca svoja.
20 For if our heart condemne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things.
Jer ako nam zazire srce naše, Bog je veæi od srca našega i zna sve.
21 Beloued, if our heart condemne vs not, then haue we boldnes toward God.
Ljubazni! ako nam srce naše ne zazre, slobodu imamo pred Bogom;
22 And whatsoeuer we aske we receiue of him, because we keepe his commandements, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.
I što god zaištemo, primiæemo od njega, jer zapovijesti njegove držimo i èinimo što je njemu ugodno.
23 This is then his commandement, That we beleeue in the Name of his Sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another as hee gaue commandement.
I ovo je zapovijest njegova da vjerujemo u ime sina njegova Isusa Hrista, i da ljubimo jedan drugoga kao što nam je dao zapovijest.
24 For hee that keepeth his commandements, dwelleth in him, and he in him: and hereby we knowe that hee abideth in vs, euen by that Spirit which he hath giuen vs.
I koji drži zapovijesti njegove u njemu stoji, i on u njemu. I po tom poznajemo da stoji u nama, po Duhu koga nam je dao.
