1 John 3
1 [Think about] how much our [heavenly] Father loves us! He allows us to (say that we are/be called) his children! [And it is indeed true that] we are [his children. But people in] the world [MTY] [who are unbelievers] have not understood [who] God [is]. So they do not understand [who we are], that we [belong to God].
Görün Ata bizə necə məhəbbət göstərib ki, biz Allahın övladları adlanırıq! Doğrudan da, beləyik! Dünya Onu tanımadığına görə bizi də tanımır.
2 Dear friends, even though (at present/now) we are God’s children, [he] has not yet (made clear/revealed) [to us] what we will be like [in the future]. However, we know that when [Christ] comes back again, we will be like him, because we will see what he is [really] like.
Ey sevimlilər, indi biz Allahın övladlarıyıq, amma nə olacağımız hələ üzə çıxmayıb. Lakin bilirik ki, Məsih zühur edəndə biz Ona bənzəyəcəyik, çünki Onu olduğu kimi görəcəyik.
3 [So], all those who confidently expect [to see Christ as he actually is/what Christ is like when he returns] must keep themselves pure in every way, just like Christ, who is pure in every way.
Ona bu cür ümid bağlayan hər kəs O pak olduğu kimi özünü pak edir.
4 But everyone who continues sinning is refusing to obey [God’s] laws, because that is what sin is, refusing to obey [God’s] laws.
Günah edən hər kəs Qanunu da pozar, çünki günah Qanunu pozmaqdır.
5 You know that Christ came in order to completely remove [the guilt of] our sins. You know also that he never sinned.
Siz bilirsiniz ki, Məsih günahları aradan qaldırmaq üçün zühur etdi. Onda günah yoxdur.
6 Those who continue [doing what] Christ wants them to, do not continue sinning repeatedly. But those who repeatedly sin have not understood [who Christ is], nor have they had a close relationship with him.
Onda qalan hər kəs günahını davam etdirməz. Günahını davam etdirən hər kəs nə Onu görüb, nə də Onu tanıyır.
7 [So I urge you, ] who are all very dear to me, do not let anyone deceive you [by telling you that it is all right to sin]. If you continue doing what is right, you are righteous, just like Christ is righteous.
Ey övladlar, heç kəs sizi aldatmasın; saleh iş görən şəxs Məsihin saleh olduğu kimi salehdir.
8 [But] if anyone continues sinning, he is like the devil, because the devil has always been sinning. [And] the reason why God’s Son became a human being was to destroy what the devil has done.
Günahını davam etdirən şəxs iblisdəndir, çünki iblis başlanğıcdan bəri günah edir. Allahın Oğlu buna görə zühur etdi ki, iblisin əməllərini puça çıxarsın.
9 People do not continue sinning repeatedly if they have become children of God. Instead, [they] continue [to conduct their lives according to the character/nature that God produced in them] [MET]. They cannot continually sin because God has caused them to become his children.
Allahdan doğulan hər kəs günahını davam etdirməz, çünki Allahın toxumu onda qalır. O, günahını davam etdirə bilməz, çünki Allahdan doğulub.
10 Those who are God’s children are clearly different from those who are (the devil’s/Satan’s) children. [The way that we can know who are Satan’s children is this]: Those who do not do what is right are not God’s children. [Specifically], those who do not love their fellow believers are not [God’s children Instead, they are Satan’s children].
Kimin Allahın övladı, kiminsə iblisin övladı olması bundan aydın olur: saleh iş görməyən, həmçinin qardaşını sevməyən hər kəs Allahdan deyil.
11 The message that you heard when you first [MTY] [believed in Christ] is that we should love each other.
Əvvəldən bəri eşitdiyiniz xəbər budur: bir-birimizi sevək.
12 [We should] not [hate others] as did [Adam’s son], Cain, who belonged to [Satan], the evil one. [Because Cain hated his younger brother], he murdered him. (I will tell you about why he murdered his brother./Do you know why he murdered his brother [RHQ]?) It was because Cain habitually conducted his life in an evil way, and [he hated his younger brother] because his [younger] brother [conducted his life] righteously.
Şərdən olub qardaşını öldürən Qabil kimi olmayaq. O, qardaşını niyə öldürdü? Ona görə ki öz əməlləri şər, qardaşının əməlləri isə saleh idi.
13 You should not be amazed/surprised, my fellow believers, when [unbelievers] [MTY] hate you.
Beləliklə, qardaşlar, dünya sizə nifrət edirsə, heyrətlənməyin.
14 We know that we have been changed from [being spiritually] dead [MET] to [being spiritually] alive. We know this because we love our fellow believers. [Those who] do not love [their fellow believers] are still [spiritually] [MET] dead.
Qardaşlarımızı sevdiyimizə görə biz bilirik ki, ölümdən həyata keçmişik. Sevməyənsə ölümdə qalır.
15 Those who hate [any of] their fellow believers, [God considers] [MET] them [to be] murderers. And you know that no murderer has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Qardaşına nifrət edən hər kəs qatildir. Bildiyiniz kimi, heç bir qatil özündə qalan əbədi həyata malik deyil. (aiōnios g166)
16 The way that we now know [how to truly] love [our fellow believers is by remembering] that Christ (voluntarily died/gave his life) for us. So, [when our fellow believers need something, we should be willing to help them. We should even be willing to] die for them.
Məhəbbətin nə olduğunu bundan anladıq ki, Məsih Öz canını bizim üçün fəda etdi. Biz də öz canımızı qardaşlarımız üçün fəda etməliyik.
17 Many [of us] have the things that are necessary for us to live in this world. If we become aware that any of our fellow believers do not have what they need and [if we] refuse to ([provide for them/give to them what they need]), it is clear that we do not love God [as we claim/say that we do].
Əgər kimsə dünya malına sahib olarkən qardaşını ehtiyac içində görüb ona rəhmi gəlmirsə, Allah məhəbbəti onda necə qala bilər?
18 [I say to] all of you whom I love dearly, let us not merely say [MTY] that [we love our fellow believers!] Let us genuinely/really love them by doing things [to help them]!
Ey övladlar, sözdə və dildə deyil, əməldə və həqiqətdə sevək.
19 When we [truly love our fellow believers], we can be sure that we are [conducting our lives according to] the true message. [As a result], we will not feel guilty/ashamed [when we talk] [MTY] to God.
Bununla həqiqətdən olduğumuzu biləcəyik və ürəyimiz bizi məhkum edirsə, ürəyimizi Allahın önündə sakitləşdirəcəyik. Çünki Allah bizim ürəyimizdən üstündür və hər şeyi bilir.
20 [We can pray confidently], because [although] we might feel guilty/ashamed [about our sins], God is (greater/more worthy to be trusted) than what we feel. He knows everything [about us].
21 Dear friends, when we do not feel guilty [because of our sins], we can pray to God confidently.
Ey sevimlilər, əgər ürəyimiz bizi məhkum etmirsə, demək, Allahın hüzurunda cəsarətlə danışa bilərik
22 And, when we confidently pray to him and request [something from him], we receive it because we do what he commands [us to do], and because we do what pleases him.
və Ondan nə diləyiriksə, alırıq. Ona görə ki Onun əmrlərinə riayət edirik və önündə Ona məqbul olan işlər görürük.
23 [I will tell you] what he commands [us to do]: [We must] believe that Jesus Christ is (his Son/the one who is also God). [We must] also love each other, just like he commanded [us to do].
Onun əmri də budur ki, biz Onun Oğlu İsa Məsihin adına iman edək və Onun bizə əmr etdiyi kimi bir-birimizi sevək.
24 Those who do what God commands are ones who have a close relationship with God, and God has a close relationship with them. [I will tell you how] we can be sure that God has a close relationship with us: It is because [we have] his Spirit, whom he gave to us, that we can be sure that God has a close relationship with us.
Onun əmrlərinə riayət edən şəxs Allahda, Allah da onda qalır. Onun bizdə qaldığını bu yolla, bizə verdiyi Ruh vasitəsilə bilirik.
