1 John 3
1 Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God l For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Endrey! manao ahoana ny fitiavana nasehon’ ny Ray ho antsika, dia ny niantsoana antsika hoe zanak’ Andriamanitra, sady izany tokoa isika! Koa noho izany dia tsy mahalala antsika izao tontolo izao, satria tsy nahalala Ary izy.
2 Beloved, now are we children of God, and it hath not yet been manifested what we shall be. We know that, when it shall be manifested, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.
Ry malala, ankehitriny aza dia zanak’ Andriamanitra isika, nefa tsy mbola naseho izay ho toetsika rahatrizay. Fantatsika fa raha hiseho Izy, dia ho tahaka Azy isika, fa ho hitantsika Izy, dia izay tena endriny tokoa.
3 And every one that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.
Ary izay rehetra manana izany fanantenana miorina aminy izany dia manadio ny tenany mba hadio tahaka Azy.
4 Whoever committeth sin transgresseth thereby the law; for sin is a transgression of the law.
Izay rehetra manota no mandika ny lalàna; fa ny ota no fandikana ny lalàna.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.
Ary fantatrareo fa Izy no naseho hanaisotra ny ota; ary tsy mba misy ota ao aminy.
6 Whoever abideth in him sinneth not; whoever sinneth hath not seen him, nor known him.
Izay rehetra mitoetra ao aminy dia tsy manota; izay rehetra manota dia tsy nahita na nahalala Azy.
7 My children, let no one deceive you; he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Anaka, aza avela hisy hamitaka anareo: izay manao ny marina no marina; eny, marina tahaka Azy.
8 He that committeth sin is of the Devil; for the Devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil.
Izay manota dia avy amin’ ny devoly, satria ny devoly manota hatramin’ ny voalohany. Izao no nisehoan’ ny Zanak’ Andriamanitra, dia ny handrava ny asan’ ny devoly.
9 Whoever hath been born of God doth not commit sin, because his seed abideth in him; and he cannot sin, because he hath been born of God.
Izay rehetra naterak’ Andriamanitra no tsy manota, satria ny voany mitoetra ao anatiny, ary tsy mahay manota izy, satria naretak’ Andriamanitra.
10 In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the Devil. Whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, and he that loveth not his brother.
Izany no mampiseho miharihary izay Zanak’ Andriamanitra sy izay zanaky ny devoly. Tsy mba avy amin’ Andriamanitra izay rehetra tsy manao ny marina sy izay tsy tia ny rahalahiny.
11 For this is the message that ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;
Fa izao no teny nampitondraina izay efa renareo hatramin’ ny voalohany: tsy maintsy mifankatia isika, ―
12 not as Cain was of the Evil One, and slew his brother. And wherefore did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
tsy mba tahaka an’ i Kaina, izay avy tamin’ ilay ratsy ka namono ny rahalahiny. Ary nahoana no namono azy izy? Satria ratsy ny asany, fa marina ny an’ ny rahalahiny.
13 Wonder not, brethren, if the world hateth you.
Aza gaga, ry rahalahy, raha halan’ izao tontolo izao ianareo.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren; he that loveth not abideth in death.
Fantatsika fa efa tafafindra niala tamin’ ny fahafatesana ho amin’ ny fiainana isika satria tia ny rahalahy. Izay tsy tia dia mitoetra ao amin’ ny fahafatesana ihany.
15 Whoever hateth his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer hath everlasting life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
Izay rehetra mankahala ny rahalahiny dia mpamono olona; ary fantatrareo fa tsy mba misy mpamono olona manana fiainana mandrakizay mitoetra ao anatiny. (aiōnios g166)
16 Herein we know love, in that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Izao no ahafantarantsika ny fitiavana, satria Izy no nanolotra ny ainy hamonjy antsika; ary isika kosa mba tokony hanolotra ny aintsika hamonjy ny rahalahy.
17 But whoever hath this world's goods, and seeth his brother having need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
Ary izay rehetra manam-pananana amin’ izao fiainana izao, ary mahita ny fahantran’ ny rahalahiny ka mihirim-belona aminy, ahoana no itoeran’ ny fitiavana an’ Andriamanitra ao anatiny?
18 My children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
Anaka, aoka tsy ho tia amin’ ny teny na amin’ ny lela isika, fa amin’ ny asa sy amin’ ny marina.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him;
Izany no hahafantarantsika fa avy amin’ ny marina isika sy hampahatokiantsika ny fontsika eo anatrehany,
20 because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
na amin’ inona na amin’ inona no anamelohan’ ny fontsika antsika, satria Andriamanitra lehibe noho ny fontsika ka mahalala ny zavatra rehetra.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have confidence toward God;
Ry malala, raha tsy mba manameloka antsika ny fontsika, dia manana fahasahiana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra isika.
22 and whatever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
Ary na inona na inona no angatahintsika dia raisintsika aminy, satria mitandrina ny didiny sy manao izay ankasitrahana eo imasony isika.
23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and should love one another, as he gave commandment.
Ary izao no didiny, dia ny hinoantsika ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy Zanany sy ny hifankatiavantsika araka ny didy nomeny antsika.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him; and hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit, which he gave us.
Ary izay mitandrina ny didiny no mitoetra ao aminy, ary Izy kosa ao aminy. Ary izao no ahafantarantsika fa mitoetra ao amintsika Izy, dia ny Fanahy Izay nomeny antsika.
