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].
जसले येशू नै ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ भनी विश्वास गर्छ, त्यो परमेश्वरबाट जन्मेको हुन्छ । र जसले पितालाई प्रेम गर्छ, त्यसले उहाँबाट जन्मनुहुनेलाई पनि प्रेम गर्छ ।
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].
जब हामी परमेश्वरलाई प्रेम गर्छौं र उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्छौं, यसैद्वारा हामी परमेश्वरका सन्तानहरूलाई प्रेम गर्छौं भनी जान्दछौँ ।
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].
किनकि उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्नु नै परमेश्वरको निम्ति प्रेम हो । अनि उहाँका आज्ञाहरू बोझिला छैनन् ।
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.
किनकि परमेश्वरबाट जन्मेको हरेकले संसारलाई जित्छ । अनि संसारलाई जित्ने विजय हाम्रो विश्वास हो ।
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).
येशू नै परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ भनी विश्वास गर्नेबाहेक संसारमाथि विजय हासिल गर्ने को हो?
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.
उहाँ यही हुनुहुन्छ जो पानी र रगतद्वारा आउनुभयो । येशू ख्रीष्ट पनि पानीद्वारा मात्र होइन, तर पानी र रगतद्वारा आउनुभयो ।
7 There are three [ways] by which we know [that Christ came from God].
किनकि गवाही दिनेहरू तिन छन्,
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].
आत्मा, पानी र रगत अनि यी तिनै सहमत हुन्छन् ।
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).
हामीले मानिसहरूको गवाही स्वीकार गर्छौं भने परमेश्वरको गवाही त झनै महान् हुन्छ । किनकि परमेश्वरको गवाही यही हो, कि उहाँले आफ्ना पुत्रको बारेमा गवाही दिनुभएको छ ।
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).
जसले परमेश्वरका पुत्रमा विश्वास गर्छ त्यो आफैँसँग गवाही हुन्छ । जसले परमेश्वरलाई विश्वास गर्दैन, त्यसले उहाँलाई झुटो बनाएको छ, किनभने परमेश्वरले उहाँका पुत्रको विषयमा दिनुभएको गवाहीलाई त्यसले विश्वास गरेको छैन ।
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)
अनि गवाही यही हो, कि परमेश्वरले हामीलाई अनन्त जीवन दिनुभयो, र यो जीवन उहाँका पुत्रमा छ । (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].
जससँग पुत्र छ, त्यससँग जीवन छ; जससँग परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्न, त्यससँग जीवन हुँदैन ।
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)
मैले यी कुराहरू परमेश्वरका पुत्रको नाउँमा विश्वास गर्ने अर्थात् तिमीहरूलाई लेखेको छु, ताकि तिमीहरूसित अनन्त जीवन छ भन्ने तिमीहरूले जान्न सक । (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).
अनि यदि हामीले उहाँको इच्छाअनुसार कुनै पनि कुरा माग्यौँ भने, उहाँले हाम्रो बिन्ती सुन्नुहुन्छ । उहाँको सामुन्ने हामीसँग भएको दृढता यही हो ।
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].
अनि यदि हामीले उहाँसँग जे मागे पनि उहाँले हाम्रो बिन्ती सुनुहुन्छ भनी हामी जान्दछौँ भने हामीले उहाँसँग मागेका नम्र-निवेदनहरू हामीसँग छन् भनेर पनि हामी जान्दछौँ ।
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.
यदि कसैले त्यसको भाइले मृत्युमा नपुर्याउने पाप गरिरहेको देख्छ भने त्यसले प्रार्थना गर्नुपर्छ, र मृत्युमा नपुर्याउने पाप गर्ने त्यसलाई परमेश्वरले क्षमा दिनुहुनेछ । मृत्युमा पुर्याउने पाप छ । त्यसले त्यसबारे बिन्ती चढाउनुपर्छ भनी म भन्दिनँ ।
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.
सबै अधार्मिकता पाप हो, तर मृत्युमा नपुर्याउने पाप पनि छ ।
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].
हामी जान्दछौँ, कि जो परमेश्वरबाट जन्मेको छ त्यसले पाप गर्दैन; तर जो परमेश्वरबाट जन्मेको छ, परमेश्वरले त्यसलाई सुरक्षित राख्नुहुन्छ, र दुष्टले त्यसलाई छुँदैन ।
19 We know that we belong to God, and [we know] that the evil one controls all [the evil people in] [MTY] the world.
हामी जान्दछौँ, कि हामी परमेश्वरका हौँ, र सारा संसार दुष्टको नियन्त्रणमा परेको छ ।
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)
तर हामी जान्दछौँ, कि परमेश्वरका पुत्र आउनुभएको छ र हामीलाई समझशक्ति दिनुभएको छ, कि जो सत्य हुनुहुन्छ हामी उहाँलाई चिनौँ, र जो सत्य हुनुहुन्छ हामी उहाँमा र उहाँका पुत्र येशू ख्रीष्टमा पनि छौँ । उहाँ साँचो परमेश्वर र अनन्त जीवन हुनुहन्छ । (aiōnios g166)
21 [I say to] you who are very dear to me, guard/keep yourselves from [worshipping] gods [that have no real power]!
प्रिय बालकहरू हो, तिमीहरू आफैँलाई मूर्तिहरूबाट अलग राख ।
