1 John 5

1 EVERY one who believeth that Jesus is the Messiah, is born of God; and every one who loveth him that begat, loveth him also who is begotten by him.

Kdorkoli veruje, da Jezus je Kristus, je rojen iz Boga; in vsak, kdor ljubi tistega, ki je zaplodil, ljubi tudi tistega, ki je zaplojen od njega.

2 Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

Da ljubimo Božje otroke, spoznamo s tem, ko ljubimo Boga in se ravnamo po njegovih zapovedih.

3 For this is the love of God, that we should keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome.

Kajti to je Božja ljubezen, da se ravnamo po njegovih zapovedih; in njegove zapovedi niso mučne.

4 Because every one that is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith.

Kajti karkoli je rojeno iz Boga, premaga svet; in to je zmaga, ki premaga svet, celó naša vera.

5 Who is he that overcometh the world, except he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Kdo je tisti, ki premaga svet, če ne tisti, ki veruje, da je Jezus Božji Sin?

6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus the Messiah; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood: and the Spirit is the witnessing person, because the Spirit is the truth.

To je on, ki je prišel z vodo in krvjo, celó Jezus Kristus; ne samo z vodo, temveč z vodo in krvjo. In to je Duh, ki prinaša pričevanje, ker Duh je resnica.

7 For they are three who bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these, even the three, are one.

Kajti trije so, ki pričujejo na nebu: Oče, Beseda in Sveti Duh; in ti trije so eno.

8 And there are three which bear witness upon earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are for the same one object.

In trije so, ki pričujejo na zemlji: Duh in voda in kri; in ti trije se strinjajo v enem.

9 If we receive the testimony of man, the testimony of God is stronger: for this is the testimony of God which he testified concerning his Son.

Če smo sprejeli pričevanje od ljudi, je pričevanje od Boga večje, kajti to je pričevanje Boga, ki je pričeval o svojem Sinu.

10 He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed on the testimony which God testified of his Son.

Kdor veruje v Božjega Sina, ima pričevanje v sebi. Kdor pa ne veruje Bogu, ga je storil za lažnivca, ker ne veruje zapisu, ki ga je Bog dal o svojem Sinu.

11 And this is the testimony, that God hath given life eternal to us; and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)

In to je zapis, da nam je Bog dal večno življenje in to življenje je v njegovem Sinu. (aiōnios g166)

12 He that hath the Son, hath this life; and he that hath not the Son of God, hath not this life.

Kdor ima Sina, ima življenje; kdor pa nima Božjega Sina, nima življenja.

13 These things have I written to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have life eternal, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)

Te besede sem napisal vam, ki verujete v ime Božjega Sina; da boste lahko vedeli, da imate večno življenje in da lahko verujete v ime Božjega Sina. (aiōnios g166)

14 And this is the confidence that we have towards him, that whatsoever we ask according to his will, he heareth us.

In to je zaupanje, ki ga imamo v njem, da če prosimo katerokoli stvar, glede na njegovo voljo, nas on usliši.

15 And if we know that he heareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we receive the petitions, which we have requested, from him.

In če vemo, da nas sliši, karkoli prosimo, vemo, da imamo prošnje, ki smo jih želeli od njega.

16 If any person see his brother committing a sin not unto death, he shall request, and God will grant him life for those that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I say not that he should request for that.

Če katerikoli človek vidi svojega brata grešiti [z] grehom, ki ni za smrt, bo prosil in on mu bo dal življenje, za tiste, ki ne grešijo za smrt. Obstaja greh za smrt; ne pravim, da naj prosi zanj.

17 All unrighteousness is sin; and there is sin not unto death.

Vsa nepravičnost je greh; obstaja pa greh, ki ni za smrt.

18 We know that every one who is born of God sinneth not; but he that is born of God preserveth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not.

Vemo, da kdorkoli je rojen iz Boga, ne greši; temveč kdor je rojen iz Boga, sebe varuje in ta zlobni se ga ne dotika.

19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world is under the power of that wicked one.

In mi vemo, da smo od Boga, celoten svet pa leži v zlobnosti.

20 But we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given to us understanding, that we might know the true God; and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. HE is the true God, and the life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

In mi vemo, da je Božji Sin prišel ter nam dal razumevanje, da bi lahko spoznali tistega, ki je resničen in mi smo v njem, ki je resničen, celó v njegovem Sinu Jezusu Kristusu. Ta je resničen Bog in večno življenje. (aiōnios g166)

21 My dear children, guard yourselves against idols. Amen.

Majhni otroci, varujte se pred maliki. Amen.
