1 Yochanan 3
1 Look at how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world does not know us, because it did not know him.
Glejte, kakšno vrsto ljubezni nam je podelil Oče, da naj bi bili imenovani Božji sinovi; zato nas svet ne spoznava, ker ni spoznal njega.
2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. We know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.
Ljubljeni, sedaj smo Božji sinovi, ni pa se še pokazalo, kaj bomo; toda vemo, da ko se bo prikazal, bomo podobni njemu, kajti videli ga bomo, kakršen je.
3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
In vsak človek, ki ima to upanje vanj, se očiščuje, celó kakor je on čist.
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
Kdorkoli zagreši greh, prestopa tudi postavo, kajti greh je prekršitev postave.
5 You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and in him is no sin.
In vi veste, da je bil jasno pokazan, da odvzame naše grehe; in v njem ni greha.
6 Whoever remains in him does not sin. Whoever sins hasn't seen him, neither knows him.
Kdorkoli ostaja v njem, ne greši. Kdorkoli pa greši, ga ni videl niti ga ni spoznal.
7 Children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Majhni otroci, naj vas noben človek ne zavede. Kdor ravna pravično, je pravičen, celó kakor je pravičen on.
8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.
Kdor zagreši greh, je od hudiča, kajti hudič greši od začetka. Zaradi tega namena je bil jasno pokazan Božji Sin, da bi lahko uničil hudičeva dela.
9 Whoever is born of God does not commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Kdorkoli je rojen iz Boga, ne stori greha, kajti njegovo seme ostaja v njem; in ne more grešiti, ker je rojen iz Boga.
10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever does not do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who does not love his brother.
V tem so prikazani Božji otroci in hudičevi otroci: kdorkoli ne dela pravičnosti, ni od Boga niti kdor ne ljubi svojega brata.
11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;
Kajti to je sporočilo, ki ste ga slišali od začetka, da naj ljubimo drug drugega.
12 unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
Ne kakor Kajn, ki je bil od tega zlobnega in je usmrtil svojega brata. In zakaj ga je usmrtil? Ker so bila njegova lastna dela hudobna, njegovega brata pa pravična.
13 Therefore do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
Ne čudite se, moji bratje, če vas svet sovraži.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love remains in death.
Mi vemo, da smo iz smrti prešli v življenje, ker ljubimo brate. Kdor svojega brata ne ljubi, ostaja v smrti.
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has everlasting life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
Kdorkoli sovraži svojega brata, je morilec; in veste, da noben morilec nima večnega življenja, ki [bi] ostajalo v njem. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
S tem zaznavamo Božjo ljubezen, ker je svoje življenje dal za nas, in mi moramo svoja življenja dati za brate.
17 But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him?
Toda kdorkoli ima dobrine tega sveta in vidi svojega brata v potrebi in pred njim zapre svoja čustva sočutja, kako v njem prebiva Božja ljubezen?
18 Little children, let us not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
Moji majhni otroci, ne ljubimo z besedo niti z jezikom; temveč v dejanju in v resnici.
19 And by this we will know that we are of the truth, and persuade our heart before him,
In s tem vemo, da smo iz resnice in bomo svoja srca potrdili pred njim.
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Kajti če nas naše srce obsoja, je Bog večji kakor naše srce in pozna vse stvari.
21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;
Ljubljeni, če nas naše srce ne obsoja, potem imamo zaupanje do Boga.
22 and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
In karkoli prosimo, od njega prejmemo, ker se ravnamo po njegovih zapovedih in delamo te stvari, ki so všečne v njegovih očeh.
23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah, and love one another, even as he commanded us.
In to je njegova zapoved: »Da naj verujemo v ime njegovega Sina Jezusa Kristusa in ljubimo drug drugega, « kakor nam je dal zapoved.
24 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Ruach which he gave us.
In kdor se ravna po njegovih zapovedih, prebiva v njem in on v njem. In zaradi tega vemo, da on ostaja v nas, po Duhu, ki nam ga je dal.
