1 John 2
1 My children, I am writing to you to keep you from sinning. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the righteous.
मेरा प्रिय बालकहरू हो, तिमीहरूले पाप नगर भनी म यी कुराहरू तिमीहरूलाई लेख्छु । तर यदि कसैले पाप गर्छ भने हाम्रो निम्ति पितासँग वकालत गर्ने एक जना अर्थात् धर्मी येशू ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ ।
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
उहाँ हाम्रा पापहरूका निम्ति प्रायश्चित्त हुनुहुन्छ, र हाम्रो लागि मात्र होइन, तर सारा संसारको लागि पनि हो ।
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
यदि हामीले उहाँको आज्ञा पालन गर्छौं भने यसैद्वारा हामी जान्दछौँ कि हामी उहाँलाई चिन्छौँ ।
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
जसले “म परमेश्वरलाई चिन्छु “भन्छ, तर उहाँको आज्ञा पालन गर्दैन भने त्यो झुटो हो, र त्यसमा सत्य हुँदैन ।
5 But the person who keeps God’s word, in them the love of God has indeed reached its perfection. This is how we can be sure we are in him:
तर जसले उहाँको वचन पालन गर्छ, साँच्चै त्यो व्यक्ति परमेश्वरको प्रेमले सिद्ध भएको हुन्छ । हामी उहाँमा छौँ भन्ने हामी यसैद्वारा थाहा पाउनेछौँ ।
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
परमेश्वरमा रहन्छु भन्ने व्यक्ति आफैँ पनि येशू ख्रीष्ट जिउनु भएझैँ जिउनुपर्छ ।
7 Dear friends, it is no new command that I am writing to you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. That old command is the message you have already heard.
प्रिय हो, मैले तिमीहरूलाई नयाँ आज्ञा लेखिरहेको छैनँ, तर तिमीहरूसँग सुरुदेखि भएको पुरानो आज्ञा नै हो । तिमीहरूले सुनेको वचन पुरानो आज्ञा नै हो ।
8 Yet, in a way, it is a new command that I am writing to you – which is shown true in Christ’s life and in yours – for the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
तापनि म तिमीहरूलाई नयाँ आज्ञा लेखिरहेको छु, जुन ख्रीष्टमा र तिमीहरूमा सत्य छ, किनभने अन्धकार बितिरहेको छ, र साँचो ज्योति अगिदेखि नै चम्किरहेको छ ।
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
जसले ज्योतिमा छु भन्छ र आफ्नो भाइलाई घृणा गर्छ, त्यो अझ पनि अन्धकारमा नै छ ।
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
जसले आफ्नो भाइलाई प्रेम गर्छ त्यो ज्योतिमा रहन्छ, र त्यसलाई ठेस लाग्ने कुनै अवसर हुँदैन ।
11 The person who hates is in the dark. They stumble along in the darkness; they do not know where they are going because the darkness blinds them.
तर जसले आफ्नो भाइलाई घृणा गर्छ, त्यो अझै अन्धकारमा नै हुन्छ र अन्धकारमा हिँड्छ । त्यो कहाँ गइरहेको छ भनी त्यसलाई थाहा पाउँदैन, किनभने अन्धकारले त्यसको आँखा अन्धो तुल्याएको छ ।
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
मेरा प्रिय बालकहरू, म तिमीहरूलाई लेख्छु, किनभने तिमीहरूका पाप ख्रीष्टको नाउँको खातिर क्षमा गरिएका छन् ।
13 Parents, I am writing to you because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I am writing to you because you have conquered the evil one. Children, I write to you because you have come to know the Father.
बुबाहरू हो, म तपाईंहरूलाई लेख्छु, किनभने सुरुदेखि नै हुनुहुनेलाई तपाईंहरू चिन्नुहुन्छ । जवानहरू हो, म तिमीहरूलाई लेख्छु, किनभने तिमीहरूले दुष्टलाई जितेका छौ । साना बालकहरू हो, मैले तिमीहरूलाई लेखेको छु, किनभने तिमीहरू पितालाई चिन्छौ ।
14 Parents, I write to you because you have learned to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I write to you because you are strong, and God’s message is always in your hearts, and you have conquered the evil one.
बुबाहरू, मैले तपाईंहरूलाई लेखेको छु, किनभने तपाईंहरूले सुरुदेखि हुनुहुनेलाई चिन्नुहुन्छ । जवानहरू, मैले तिमीहरूलाई लेखेको छु, किनकि तिमीहरू बलिया छौ, र परमेश्वरको वचन तिमीहरूमा रहन्छ, र तिमीहरू दुष्टमाथि विजय भएका छौ ।
15 Do not love the world or what the world can offer. When anyone loves the world, there is no love for the Father in them.
संसारलाई प्रेम नगर, न त संसारमा भएका थोकहरूलाई नै । कसैले संसारलाई प्रेम गर्छ भने पिताको प्रेम त्यसमा हुँदैन ।
16 For all that the world can offer – the desires for physical pleasure, the enticements to the eye, the arrogance of wealth – belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.
किनभने संसारमा भएका सबै थोकहरू अर्थात् शरिरको अभिलाषा, आँखाको अभिलाषा र जीवनको शेखी पिताबाट आएका होइनन्, तर संसारबाट आएका हुन् ।
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
संसार र यसका इच्छाहरू बितेर जाँदै छन् । तर जसले परमेश्वरको इच्छाअनुसार गर्छ, त्यो सदासर्वदा रहिरहन्छ । (aiōn g165)
18 My children, it is the last hour. You were told that an antichrist was coming; and many antichrists have already arisen. This is why we know that this is the last hour.
साना बालकहरू हो, यो आखिरी घडी हो । तिमीहरूले ख्रीष्ट विरोधी आइरहेको छ भनी सुन्दै छौ, अहिले पनि धेरै ख्रीष्ट विरोधीहरू आइसकेका छन् । यसद्वारा नै यो आखिरी घडी हो भन्ने हामी जान्दछौँ ।
19 These people come from our ranks, but they were never truly part of us – if they had been then they would have stayed with us. They left so it would be clear that none of them really belonged to us.
तिनीहरू हामीबाट बाहिर गए, तर तिनीहरू हाम्रा थिएनन् । यदि तिनीहरू हाम्रा भएका भए तिनीहरू हामीहरूसँगै रहिरहने थिए, तर तिनीहरू हाम्रा होइनन् भन्ने देखाउन तिनीहरू गए ।
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
तर तिमीहरूसँग पवित्र हुनुहुनेबाटको अभिषेक छ, र तिमीहरू सबैले सत्य जान्दछौ ।
21 I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie can come from the truth.
तिमीहरूले सत्य जानेका छैनौ भनेर मैले लेखेको होइनँ, तर तिमीहरूले यो जानेका हुनाले र कुनै पनि झुट सत्य नहुने हुनाले हो ।
22 Who is a liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? That person is the antichrist – one who rejects the Father and the Son.
येशू नै ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ भनी इन्कार गर्नेबाहेक अर्को झुट को हुन्छ? यो व्यक्ति नै ख्रीष्ट विरोधी हो, किनभने त्यसले पिता र पुत्रलाई इन्कार गर्छ ।
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
पुत्रलाई इन्कार गर्ने कोहीसँग पनि पिता हुनुहुन्न; पुत्रलाई स्वीकार गर्नेसँग पिता पनि हुनुहुन्छ ।
24 As for you, you must let what you have heard from the beginning continue to live in you. If what you heard from the beginning dwells in you, you will remain both in the Son and the Father.
तिमीहरूका हकमा, तिमीहरूले सुरुदेखि सुनेका कुरा तिमीहरूमा रहोस् । तिमीहरूले सुरुदेखि सुनेका कुरा तिमीहरूमा रहन्छ भने तिमीहरू पनि पिता र पुत्रमा रहन्छौ ।
उहाँले हामीलाई प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको कुरा अर्थात् अनन्त जीवन यही हो । (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
तिमीहरूलाई बहकाउनेहरूको बारेमा मैले यी कुराहरू तिमीहरूलाई लेखिसकेको छु ।
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains with you. You do not need anyone to teach you. His anointing teaches you about everything. What it teaches you is true, it is not a lie. Do what it has taught you: abide in him.
तिमीहरूका हकमा, तिमीहरूले उहाँबाट पाएका अभिषेक तिमीहरूमा रहन्छ र तिमीहरूलाई सिकाउन कसैको आवश्यक पर्दैन । तर उहाँको अभिषेकले नै तिमीहरूलाई सबै थोकहरूबारे सिकाउनुहुन्छ, अनि त्यो सत्य हो, झुटो होइन । उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई सिकाउनुभएअनुसार, उहाँमा रहो ।
28 Yes, my children, remain in him, so that when he appears our confidence doesn’t fail us, and we are not ashamed to meet him at his coming.
अब मेरा प्रिय बालकहरू हो, उहाँमा रहो, ताकि उहाँ प्रकट हुनुहुँदा हामीमा साहस होस् र उहाँको आगमनमा उहाँको सामु लज्जित हुनु नपरोस् ।
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
यदि उहाँ धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्दछौ भने धार्मिक व्यवहार गर्ने हरेक उहाँबाट जन्मेको हो भन्ने तिमीहरूले जान्दछौ ।
