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].

تەماشا بکەن باوک چ خۆشەویستییەکی پێداوین، تاکو پێمان بگوترێت ڕۆڵەی خودا! ئێمە ئەوەین! بۆیە جیهان نامانناسێت، چونکە ئەوی نەناسیوە.

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.

خۆشەویستان، ئێستا ڕۆڵەی خوداین و هێشتا دەرنەکەوتووە دەبینە چی. بەڵام دەزانین کاتێک ئەو دەردەکەوێت ئێمە وەک ئەو دەبین، چونکە وەک خۆی دەیبینین.

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.

هەرکەسێک ئەم هیوایەی بەو هەبێت، خۆی پاک دەکاتەوە، هەروەک چۆن ئەو پاکە.

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.

هەرکەسێک گوناه بکات سەرپێچی دەکات، چونکە گوناه سەرپێچییە.

5 You know that Christ came in order to completely remove [the guilt of] our sins. You know also that he never sinned.

دەزانن ئەو دەرکەوت تاکو گوناهەکان لاببات. ئەو خۆی بێ گوناهە.

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.

هەرکەسێک بە یەکبوون لەگەڵ مەسیح بژیێت، لە گوناهکردن بەردەوام نابێت. هەرکەسێک بە بەردەوامی گوناه بکات، نە ئەوی بینیوە و نە ئەویشی ناسیوە.

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.

ڕۆڵە خۆشەویستەکان، با کەس چەواشەتان نەکات. ئەوەی ڕاستودروستی پەیڕەو بکات ڕاستودروستە، وەک چۆن ئەویش ڕاستودروستە.

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.

ئەوەی گوناه بکات لە ئیبلیسە، چونکە ئیبلیس هەر لە سەرەتاوە گوناهی کردووە. کوڕی خودا بۆ ئەمە دەرکەوت، تاکو کارەکانی ئیبلیس تێکبدات.

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.

هەرکەسێک لە خوداوە لەدایک بووبێت بەردەوام نابێت لە گوناهکردن، چونکە تۆوی خودای تێدا دەچەسپێت. ناتوانێت بەردەوام‏ بێت لە گوناهکردن، لەبەر ئەوەی لە خوداوە لەدایک بووە.

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].

ڕۆڵەی خودا و ڕۆڵەی ئیبلیس بەمە دەردەکەون: هەرکەسێک ڕاستودروستی پەیڕەو نەکات لە خوداوە نییە، هەروەک ئەوەی خوشکی یان برای خۆی خۆشنەوێت،

11 The message that you heard when you first [MTY] [believed in Christ] is that we should love each other.

چونکە ئەمە ئەم پەیامەیە کە لە سەرەتادا بیستتان، کە یەکترمان خۆشبوێ.

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.

وەک قایین مەبن، کە سەر بە شەیتان بوو و هابیلی برای خۆی کوشت. بۆچی کوشتی؟ چونکە کارەکانی ئەو خراپ بوون و هی براکەی ڕاستودروست.

13 You should not be amazed/surprised, my fellow believers, when [unbelievers] [MTY] hate you.

خوشکان، برایان، لاتان سەیر نەبێت ئەگەر جیهان ڕقی لێتان بێتەوە.

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.

دەزانین لە مردنەوە بۆ ژیان گواستراینەوە، چونکە برایانمان خۆشدەوێت. ئەوەی خۆشەویستی نەبێت لە مردندا دەمێنێتەوە.

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)

هەرکەسێک ڕقی لە خوشکی یان براکەی ببێتەوە، بکوژە و ئێوە دەزانن هیچ بکوژێک نابێتە خاوەنی ژیانی هەتاهەتایی. (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.

بەمە خۆشەویستیمان زانی: عیسای مەسیح ژیانی خۆی بۆ ئێمە دانا. ئێمەش دەبێت ژیانی خۆمان بۆ خوشک و براکانمان دابنێین.

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].

ئەوەی ماڵی دنیای هەبێت و خوشکی یان براکەی خۆی بە نەداری بینی و دڵی لێی ڕەقکرد، چۆن خۆشەویستی خودای تێدا دەمێنێتەوە؟

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]!

ڕۆڵە خۆشەویستەکان، با تەنها بە وشە و زمان خۆشەویستی دەرنەبڕین، بەڵکو بە کردار و ڕاستی.

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.

بەمە دەزانین کە سەر بە ڕاستیین، هەروەها چۆن دڵمان ئاسوودە دەبێت لە ئامادەبوونی ئەو:

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].

کاتێک دڵمان سەرکۆنەمان دەکات، خودا لە دڵمان گەورەترە و هەموو شتێک دەزانێت.

21 Dear friends, when we do not feel guilty [because of our sins], we can pray to God confidently.

خۆشەویستان، ئەگەر دڵمان سەرکۆنەمان نەکات، ئەوا لەبەردەم خودا دڵنیا دەبین،

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.

هەرچییەکی لێ داوا بکەین لێی وەردەگرین، چونکە ڕاسپاردەکانی بەجێدەگەیەنین و ئەوە دەکەین کە بەدڵیەتی.

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].

ئەمەش ڕاسپاردەکەیەتی: باوەڕمان بە ناوی عیسای مەسیحی کوڕەکەی هەبێت و یەکتریمان خۆشبوێ، وەک ڕایسپاردووین.

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.

ئەگەر کەسێک ڕاسپاردەکانی خودا بەجێبگەیەنێت، ئەوا بە یەکبوون لەگەڵ خودا دەژیێت، هەروەها خوداش بە یەکبوون لەگەڵ ئەو کەسەدا دەژیێت. بەمەدا دەزانین خودا بە یەکبوون لەگەڵمان دەژیێت: بەو ڕۆحەی کە پێیداوین.
