1 John 3
1 See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him;
Gade ki grand amou Papa a te bay nou ke nou ta vin rele ti moun yo a Bondye! Konsa, se sa nou ye. Pou rezon sa lemonn pa rekonèt nou, paske li pa t rekonèt Li.
2 beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;
Alò, chè zanmi yo, nou se ti moun a Bondye, epi li poko fin devwale ki sa n ap ye. Nou konnen ke lè Li parèt nou va tankou Li, paske nou va wè Li menm jan ke Li ye.
3 and every one who is having this hope on him, doth purify himself, even as he is pure.
Epi tout moun ki gen espwa sa sou Li, vin pi li menm, menm jan ak Li.
4 Every one who is doing the sin, the lawlessness also he doth do, and the sin is the lawlessness,
Epi tout moun ki pratike peche, transgrese lalwa. Peche a se transgresyon lalwa.
5 and ye have known that he was manifested that our sins he may take away, and sin is not in him;
Nou konnen ke Li te parèt pou Li ta kapab retire peche yo, epi nan Li pa gen peche.
6 every one who is remaining in him doth not sin; every one who is sinning, hath not seen him, nor known him.
Okenn moun ki rete nan Li pa peche, men okenn ki viv nan peche pa t wè Li, ni yo pa konnen Li.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing the righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous,
Ti moun yo, pa kite pèsòn twonpe nou. Sila ki pratike ladwati a se jis, menm jan ke Li jis.
8 he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil;
Men sila ki pratike peche se a dyab la, paske dyab la te peche depi kòmansman a. Fis a Bondye te parèt pou rezon sila, ke Li ta kapab detwi zèv a dyab yo.
9 every one who hath been begotten of God, sin he doth not, because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to sin, because of God he hath been begotten.
Nanpwen pèsòn ki ne de Bondye ki pratike peche paske jèm Li tou rete nan li, epi li pa kapab peche, paske li ne a Bondye.
10 In this manifest are the children of God, and the children of the devil; every one who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,
Selon sa pitit a Bondye yo, ak pitit a dyab yo se byen klè. Nenpòt ki pa pratike ladwati a pa de Bondye, ni sila ki pa renmen frè li.
11 because this is the message that ye did hear from the beginning, that we may love one another,
Paske sa se mesaj la ke nou te tande depi kòmansman a ke nou dwe renmen yon lòt.
12 not as Cain — of the evil one he was, and he did slay his brother, and wherefore did he slay him? because his works were evil, and those of his brother righteous.
Pa kon Caïn, ki te apatyen a mechan a, epi te asasinen frè l. Men poukisa li te asasinen li? Paske zèv li te mal, epi sa yo a frè l te jis.
13 Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world doth hate you;
Pa etonnen, frè yo, si lemonn rayi nou.
14 we — we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death.
Nou konnen ke nou kite lanmò, epi antre nan lavi akoz ke nou renmen frè nou yo. Sila ki pa renmen, rete nan lanmò.
15 Every one who is hating his brother — a man-killer he is, and ye have known that no man-killer hath life age-during in him remaining, (aiōnios g166)
Nenpòt ki rayi frè l se yon asasen. Epi nou konnen ke nanpwen asasen ki gen lavi etènèl a anndan li. (aiōnios g166)
16 in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;
Men konsa nou rekonèt lamou; ke Li te bay vi Li pou nou. Epi konsa, nou ta dwe bay vi nou yo pou frè nou yo.
17 and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him — how doth the love of God remain in him?
Men nenpòt ki gen byen a lemonn sa, pou l wè frè l nan bezwen, epi sere kè l kontre li, ki jan lamou Bondye kapab rete nan li?
18 My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!
Ti moun yo, pa kite nou renmen avèk pawòl, ni avèk lang, men nan zèv ak nan verite.
19 and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,
Nou va rekonèt konsa ke nou nan laverite, epi va gen asirans nan kè nou devan Li:
20 because if our heart may condemn — because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things.
si kè nou kondannen nou, Bondye se bokou pi gran ke kè nou, epi Li konnen tout bagay.
21 Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,
Byeneme yo, si kè nou pa kondannen nou, nou gen konfyans devan Bondye.
22 and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do,
Pou sa a, nenpòt ke nou mande, nou va resevwa de Li, paske nou kenbe kòmandman Li yo, epi fè bagay yo ki fè plezi devan zye Li yo.
23 and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us,
Men sa se kòmandman Li, ke nou kwè nan non a Fis Li a, Jésus Kri, epi renmen yon lòt, kon Li te kòmande nou.
24 and he who is keeping His commands, in Him he doth remain, and He in him; and in this we know that He doth remain in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.
Sila a ki kenbe kòmandman Li yo, rete nan Li, epi Li rete nan li menm. Nou konnen konsa ke Li rete nan nou, akoz Li te bay nou Lespri Li.
