1 John 5
1 All those who believe that Jesus is the (Messiah/person God sent [to rescue us]) are ones who [have truly] become children of God. And everyone who loves [a man who is] someone’s father will [be expected to] love that man’s children as well. [Similarly, those who love God, who has caused them to become his children] [MET], [should love their fellow believers, whom God has also caused to become his children].
Setiap orang yang percaya, bahwa Yesus adalah Kristus, lahir dari Allah; dan setiap orang yang mengasihi Dia yang melahirkan, mengasihi juga Dia yang lahir dari pada-Nya.
2 The way we can be sure that we [truly] love God’s children is this: We are loving them when we love God and do what he commands [us to do].
Inilah tandanya, bahwa kita mengasihi anak-anak Allah, yaitu apabila kita mengasihi Allah serta melakukan perintah-perintah-Nya.
3 [I say this] because our obeying what God commands [us to do] is [the same as] loving him. And it is not burdensome/difficult for [us to do] what God commands [us to do].
Sebab inilah kasih kepada Allah, yaitu, bahwa kita menuruti perintah-perintah-Nya. Perintah-perintah-Nya itu tidak berat,
4 All of us whom God has caused to become his children have been able to successfully resist (doing what/conducting our lives like) the people [MTY] [who] oppose God do. It is [only] by our trusting [in Christ] that we are able to (resist doing what/conducting our lives like) people in the world who are opposed to God [MTY] do.
sebab semua yang lahir dari Allah, mengalahkan dunia. Dan inilah kemenangan yang mengalahkan dunia: iman kita.
5 ([I will tell you] who are the ones who are able to resist doing what the people who are opposed to God do./Do you know who are the ones who are able to resist conducting their lives like the people who are opposed to God [MTY] do? [RHQ]) It is those who believe that Jesus is (God’s Son/the man who is also God).
Siapakah yang mengalahkan dunia, selain dari pada dia yang percaya, bahwa Yesus adalah Anak Allah?
6 [Think about] Jesus Christ. He is the one who came [to earth from God]. [God showed that he had truly sent Jesus when Jesus was baptized] in water [MTY] and [when Jesus’] blood [flowed from his body when he died]. [God showed this] not only [when Jesus was baptized] [MTY], but also when Jesus’ blood flowed [from his body when he died]. And [God’s] Spirit declares [truthfully that Jesus Christ came from God]. The Spirit always [speaks what] is true.
Inilah Dia yang telah datang dengan air dan darah, yaitu Yesus Kristus, bukan saja dengan air, tetapi dengan air dan dengan darah. Dan Rohlah yang memberi kesaksian, karena Roh adalah kebenaran.
7 There are three [ways] by which we know [that Christ came from God].
Sebab ada tiga yang memberi kesaksian (di dalam sorga: Bapa, Firman dan Roh Kudus; dan ketiganya adalah satu.
8 [Those three ways are: What God’s] Spirit [tells us, what God said when Jesus was baptized] [MTY] [in/with] water, and [Jesus’] blood [that flowed from his body when he died on the cross]. These three things all tell us the same thing, [that Jesus came from God].
Dan ada tiga yang memberi kesaksian di bumi): Roh dan air dan darah dan ketiganya adalah satu.
9 We [usually] believe what [other] people say. But what God says is more [reliable/trustworthy than what people say]. So [we must believe] what God has said is true [about] (his Son/the one who is also God).
Kita menerima kesaksian manusia, tetapi kesaksian Allah lebih kuat. Sebab demikianlah kesaksian yang diberikan Allah tentang Anak-Nya.
10 Those who trust in the Son of God know within their (inner beings/hearts) that [what God] says [about his Son is true. But] those who refuse to believe that [what] God says is true are saying that God is a liar, because they refuse to believe what God has said about (his Son/the one who is also God).
Barangsiapa percaya kepada Anak Allah, ia mempunyai kesaksian itu di dalam dirinya; barangsiapa tidak percaya kepada Allah, ia membuat Dia menjadi pendusta, karena ia tidak percaya akan kesaksian yang diberikan Allah tentang Anak-Nya.
11 This is what [God] says [to us]: “I have given you eternal life!” We will live forever if we have a close relationship with his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Dan inilah kesaksian itu: Allah telah mengaruniakan hidup yang kekal kepada kita dan hidup itu ada di dalam Anak-Nya. (aiōnios g166)
12 Those who have [a close relationship with God’s] Son (OR, who have accepted what God’s Son [has done for them]) have [already] begun to live [forever]. [But] those who do not have a relationship with (God’s Son/the one who is also God) (OR, who have not accepted what God’s Son has done for them) have not begun [to] live [forever].
Barangsiapa memiliki Anak, ia memiliki hidup; barangsiapa tidak memiliki Anak, ia tidak memiliki hidup.
13 I have written this [letter] to you who believe that Jesus is [MTY] (God’s Son/the one who is also God) in order that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Semuanya itu kutuliskan kepada kamu, supaya kamu yang percaya kepada nama Anak Allah, tahu, bahwa kamu memiliki hidup yang kekal. (aiōnios g166)
14 Because we have a close relationship with him, we are very confident that he hears us when we ask him [to do anything] that is in accordance with (his will/what he desires).
Dan inilah keberanian percaya kita kepada-Nya, yaitu bahwa Ia mengabulkan doa kita, jikalau kita meminta sesuatu kepada-Nya menurut kehendak-Nya.
15 [And] since we know that he hears whenever we ask [him for something], we [also] know that [it is as though] he has [already] done what we requested him [to do].
Dan jikalau kita tahu, bahwa Ia mengabulkan apa saja yang kita minta, maka kita juga tahu, bahwa kita telah memperoleh segala sesuatu yang telah kita minta kepada-Nya.
16 Those who see one of their fellow believers sinning in a way that does not result in being eternally separated from God should ask [God to help that fellow believer]; and [as a result God] will help that fellow believer and enable him or her to live [eternally. But some people] sin [in a manner that causes them] to be separated from God eternally. I am not saying that [you should] ask [God to help] people who sin like that.
Kalau ada seorang melihat saudaranya berbuat dosa, yaitu dosa yang tidak mendatangkan maut, hendaklah ia berdoa kepada Allah dan Dia akan memberikan hidup kepadanya, yaitu mereka, yang berbuat dosa yang tidak mendatangkan maut. Ada dosa yang mendatangkan maut: tentang itu tidak kukatakan, bahwa ia harus berdoa.
17 Everyone who does what is wrong is sinning, but there are some sins that do not cause a person to be separated from God.
Semua kejahatan adalah dosa, tetapi ada dosa yang tidak mendatangkan maut.
18 We know that if a person has new life from God [MET], that person does not continue sinning. Instead, the (Son of/one who is also) God protects him so that [Satan], the evil one, does not harm him [spiritually].
Kita tahu, bahwa setiap orang yang lahir dari Allah, tidak berbuat dosa; tetapi Dia yang lahir dari Allah melindunginya, dan si jahat tidak dapat menjamahnya.
19 We know that we belong to God, and [we know] that the evil one controls all [the evil people in] [MTY] the world.
Kita tahu, bahwa kita berasal dari Allah dan seluruh dunia berada di bawah kuasa si jahat.
20 We also know that (God’s Son/the one who is also God) has come [to us], and [we know] that he has enabled us to know God, the one who is really/truly God. So now we have a close relationship with [God because] we belong to Jesus Christ, the one who is the (Son of/man who is also) God. Jesus Christ is truly God, and [he is the one who enables us to have] eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Akan tetapi kita tahu, bahwa Anak Allah telah datang dan telah mengaruniakan pengertian kepada kita, supaya kita mengenal Yang Benar; dan kita ada di dalam Yang Benar, di dalam Anak-Nya Yesus Kristus. Dia adalah Allah yang benar dan hidup yang kekal. (aiōnios g166)
21 [I say to] you who are very dear to me, guard/keep yourselves from [worshipping] gods [that have no real power]!
Anak-anakku, waspadalah terhadap segala berhala.
