1 John 3
1 See what love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God; because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
Dubi irin ƙaunar da Uba ya ƙaunace mu da ita mana, har ana ce da mu’ya’yan Allah! Haka kuwa muke! Dalilin da ya sa duniya ba tă san mu ba shi ne, don ba tă san shi ba.
2 Beloved, now, we are children of God, and it was not yet revealed what we will be. We have known that if He may have appeared, we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is;
Abokaina ƙaunatattu, yanzu, mu’ya’yan Allah ne, kuma abin da za mu zama nan gaba ba a riga an bayyana ba. Sai dai mun san cewa sa’ad da Kiristi ya bayyana, za mu zama kamar sa, domin za mu gan shi kamar yadda yake.
3 and everyone who is having this hope on Him, purifies himself, even as He is pure.
Duk mai wannan bege a cikinsa yakan tsarkake kansa, kamar yadda shi Kiristi yake da tsabta.
4 Everyone who is doing sin, he also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,
Duk mai yin zunubi yana karya doka ne; tabbatacce, zunubi, karya doka ne.
5 and you have known that He appeared that He may take away our sins, and sin is not in Him;
Sai dai kun san cewa Kiristi ya bayyana ne domin yă ɗauke zunubanmu. A cikinsa kuwa babu zunubi.
6 everyone who is remaining in Him does not sin; everyone who is sinning, has not seen Him, nor known Him.
Ba mai rayuwa a cikinsa da yake cin gaba da yin zunubi. Kowa da yake aikata zunubi, bai taɓa ganinsa ba, bai ma san shi ba.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous,
’Ya’yana ƙaunatattu, kada ku yarda wani yă ruɗe ku. Duk mai yin abin da yake daidai mai adalci ne, yadda Kiristi yake mai adalci.
8 he who is doing sin, he is of the Devil, because the Devil sins from the beginning; for this [reason] the Son of God appeared, that He may undo the works of the Devil;
Duk mai aikata abin da yake zunubi shi na Iblis ne, domin Iblis mai aikata zunubi ne tun farko. Dalilin da ya sa Ɗan Allah ya bayyana kuwa shi ne don yă rushe aikin Iblis.
9 everyone who has been begotten of God, he does not sin, because His seed remains in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been begotten of God.
Babu haifaffe na Allah da zai ci gaba da yin zunubi, domin iri na Allah yana a cikinsa; ba zai iya ci gaba da yin zunubi ba, domin haifaffe ne na Allah.
10 In this are revealed the children of God, and the children of the Devil; everyone who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,
Ta haka muka san waɗanda suke’ya’yan Allah da kuma waɗanda suke’ya’yan Iblis. Duk wanda ba ya yin abin da yake daidai, ba ɗan Allah ba ne; haka ma wanda ba ya ƙaunar ɗan’uwansa.
11 because this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we may love one another,
Wannan shi ne saƙon da kuka ji tun farko. Ya kamata mu ƙaunaci juna.
12 not as Cain—he was of the evil one, and he slew his brother. And for [what] reason did he slay him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother [were] righteous.
Kada ku zama kamar Kayinu, wanda ya zama na mugun nan, ya kuma kashe ɗan’uwansa. Me ya sa ya kashe shi? Domin ayyukansa mugaye ne, na ɗan’uwansa kuma na adalci ne.
13 Do not wonder, my brothers, if the world hates you;
Kada ku yi mamaki’yan’uwana, in duniya ta ƙi ku.
14 we have known that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers; he who is not loving [his] brother remains in death.
Mun san cewa mun riga mun ratsa daga mutuwa zuwa rai, domin muna ƙaunar’yan’uwanmu. Duk wanda ba ya ƙauna matacce ne har yanzu.
15 Everyone who is hating his brother is a manslayer, and you have known that no manslayer has continuous life remaining in him; (aiōnios g166)
Duk mai ƙin ɗan’uwansa mai kisankai ne, kun kuma san cewa ba mai kisankan da yake da rai madawwami a cikinsa. (aiōnios g166)
16 in this we have known love, because He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brothers;
Yadda muka san ƙauna ke nan, wato, Yesu Kiristi ya ba da ransa dominmu. Ya kamata mu ma mu ba da rayukanmu domin’yan’uwanmu.
17 and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his yearnings from him—how does the love of God remain in him?
In wani yana da arziki, ya kuma ga ɗan’uwansa cikin rashi, bai kuwa taimake shi ba, anya, ƙaunar Allah tana a cikinsa kuwa?
18 My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in work and in truth!
’Ya’yana ƙaunatattu, kada mu yi ƙauna da fatar baki kawai, sai dai mu nuna ta ta wurin aikatawa da kuma gaskiya.
19 And in this we know that we are of the truth, and before Him we will assure our hearts,
Ta haka muka san cewa mu na gaskiya ne, kuma za mu iya tsaya a gaban Allah ba tare da rawar jiki ba.
20 because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He knows all things.
Idan zuciyarmu ta nuna mana muna da laifi, mun san cewa Allah ya fi zuciyarmu, ya kuma san dukan kome.
21 Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,
Abokaina ƙaunatattu, in zukatanmu ba su ba mu laifi ba, muna da ƙarfin halin tsayawa a gaban Allah ke nan.
22 and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commands, and we do the things pleasing before Him,
Muna kuma samun dukan abin da muka roƙa daga gare shi, domin muna biyayya da umarnansa, muna kuma yin abin da ya gamshe shi.
23 and this is His command, that we may believe in the Name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He gave command to us,
Umarninsa kuwa shi ne, mu gaskata da sunan Ɗansa, Yesu Kiristi, mu kuma ƙaunaci juna kamar yadda ya umarce mu.
24 and he who is keeping His commands, remains in Him, and He in him; and in this we know that He remains in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.
Waɗanda suke biyayya da umarnansa kuwa suna rayuwa a cikinsa, shi kuma a cikinsu. Ta haka muka san cewa yana raye a cikinmu. Mun san haka ta wurin Ruhun da ya ba mu.
