1 John 4
1 Dear friends, many people [who have a false message] are teaching it to people [MTY]. So do not trust every [message that someone claims/says that God’s] Spirit [MTY] [gave to him]. Instead, (test/think carefully about) the teachings that [you hear] in order to know whether they are from God or not.
Nejmilejší, ne každému duchu věřte, ale zkušujte duchů, jsou-li z Boha; nebo mnozí falešní proroci vyšli na svět.
2 [I will tell] you how to recognize [teachings that come from] the Spirit of God: Those who affirm/say that Jesus Christ came [from God] to become a human [like us] are [teaching a message] that is from God.
Po tomto znejte Ducha Božího: Všeliký duch, kterýž vyznává Jezukrista v těle přišlého, z Boha jest.
3 But those who do not affirm/say [that about] Jesus are not [teaching a message] from God. [They are teachers who] oppose Christ. You have heard that people like that are coming [to be among us]. Even now they are already here!
Ale všeliký duch, kterýž nevyznává Jezukrista v těle přišlého, není z Boha; nýbrž toť jest ten duch antikristův, o kterémž jste slýchali, že přijíti má, a jižť jest nyní na světě.
4 As for you who are very dear to me, you belong to God, and you have refused [the false messages] that those people [teach], because [God], who enables you [to do what he wants], is (greater/more powerful) than ([Satan/the devil]), who enables (godless people/people who conduct their lives in a way that displeases God) [MTY].
Vy pak z Boha jste, synáčkové, a zvítězili jste nad nimi; nebo většíť jest ten, kterýž jest v vás, nežli ten, kterýž jest v světě.
5 As for [those who are teaching what is false], they are (godless people/people whose lives are displeasing to God) [MTY]. Because of that, they teach what (godless people/people whose lives are displeasing to God) [MTY] want to hear. That is why the (godless people/people whose lives displease God) [MTY] listen to them.
Oni z světa jsou, a protož o světu mluví, a svět jich poslouchá.
6 As for us [(exc)], [because] we belong to God, whoever (knows/has a close relationship with) God listens to us. [But] those who do not belong to God do not listen to us. That is how we can know whether [the things that people are teaching] [MTY] are true or whether they are false, and deceiving [people].
My z Boha jsme. Kdo zná Boha, posloucháť nás; kdož pak není z Boha, neposloucháť nás. A po tomť poznáváme ducha pravdy a ducha bludu.
7 Dear friends, we must love each other, because God [enables us] to love [each other], and because those who love [their fellow believers] have become God’s children and (know/have a close relationship with) him.
Nejmilejší, milujmež jedni druhé; nebo láska z Boha jest, a každý, kdož miluje, z Boha se narodil, a znáť Boha.
8 God’s [nature] is to love [all people]. So those who do not love [their fellow believers] do not (know/have a relationship with) God.
Kdož nemiluje, nezná Boha; nebo Bůh láska jest.
9 I will tell you how God has shown us [that he] loves us: He sent (his only Son/the only one who was also God) [to live] on the earth to enable us to live [eternally] as a result of [our trusting in what] he [accomplished for us by dying for us].
V tomť zjevena jest láska Boží k nám, že Syna svého toho jednorozeného poslal Bůh na svět, abychom živi byli skrze něho.
10 [And God] has shown [us what it means to] love [another person]: [It does] not [mean] that we loved God, but [it means] that God loved us and sent (his Son/the one who was also God) to sacrifice [his life] in order that [our sins might be forgiven] {[he might forgive] our sins}.
V tomť jest láska, ne že bychom my Boha milovali, ale že on miloval nás, a poslal Syna svého obět slitování za hříchy naše.
11 Dear friends, since God loves us like that, we certainly ought to love each other!
Nejmilejší, poněvadž tak miloval nás Bůh, i myť máme jedni druhé milovati.
12 No one has ever seen God. [Nevertheless], if we love each other, [it is evident that] God lives within us and that we love others just like he [intends/wants us to do].
Boha žádný nikdy nespatřil, ale milujeme-liť jedni druhé, Bůh v nás přebývá, a láska jeho dokonalá jest v nás.
13 [I will tell you] how we can be sure that we have a close relationship with God and that God is within us: He has put his Spirit within us.
Po tomtoť poznáváme, že v něm přebýváme, a on v nás, že z Ducha svého dal nám.
14 We [apostles] have seen (God’s Son/the one who is also God), and [we tell people] that the Father sent him to save [the people in] the world [MTY] [from being punished for their sins].
A myť jsme viděli, a svědčíme, že Otec poslal Syna svého spasitele světa.
15 [So] those who affirm/say that Jesus is the (Son of/one who is also) God, God is within them, and they have a close relationship with God.
Kdož by koli vyznával, že Ježíš jest Syn Boží, Bůh v něm přebývá, a on v Bohu.
16 We have experienced how God loves us and we believe that he loves us. [As a result, we love others. Because] God’s [nature] is to love people, those who continue to love [others] have a close relationship with God, and God has a close relationship with them.
A myť jsme poznali, a uvěřili o lásce, kterouž Bůh má k nám. Bůh láska jest, a kdož v lásce přebývá, v Bohu přebývá, a Bůh v něm.
17 We [should] love others completely. And if we do that, when the time comes for [him to] judge us, we will be confident [that he will not condemn us] (OR, [that we have a close relationship with him]). [We will be confident of that] because of our [conducting our lives] in this world as Christ did.
V tomtoť jest k dokonání svému přišla láska Boží s námi, abychom bezpečné doufání měli v den soudný, kdyžto, jakýž jest on, takovíž i my jsme na tomto světě.
18 We will not be afraid [of God] if we [truly] love [him], because those who love [God] completely cannot possibly be afraid [of him]. [We would be] afraid only [if we thought that he would] punish us. So those who are afraid [of God certainly] are not loving [God] completely.
Bázněť není v lásce, ale láska dokonalá ven vyhání bázeň; nebo bázeň trápení má, kdož se pak bojí, není dokonalý v lásce.
19 We love [God and our fellow believers] because God loved us first.
My milujeme jej, nebo on prve miloval nás.
20 [So] those who say “I love God” but hate a fellow believer are lying. Those who do not love one of their fellow believers, whom they have seen, certainly cannot be loving God, whom they have not seen.
Řekl-li by kdo: Miluji Boha, a bratra svého nenáviděl by, lhář jest. Nebo kdož nemiluje bratra svého, kteréhož viděl, Boha, kteréhož neviděl, kterak může milovati?
21 Keep in mind that this is what God has commanded us: If we love him, we must also love our fellow believers.
A totoť přikázání máme od něho, aby ten, kdož miluje Boha, miloval i bratra svého.
