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;

Kia kite koutou i te tikanga o te aroha i homai nei e te Matua ki a tatou, ara kia huaina tatou he tamariki na te Atua! he pera hoki tatou, koia te ao te matau ai ki a tatou, kahore hoki i matau ki a ia.

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;

E nga hoa aroha, he tamariki tatou na te Atua inaianei; a kahore ano i kitea noatia he aha ranei tatou a mua: ia, ka rite tatou ki a ia; ka kite hoki tatou i a ia, i tona ahua ake ano.

3 and every one who is having this hope on him, doth purify himself, even as he is pure.

Na ki te mea kei tetahi tenei tumanako ki a ia, ka tahia atu e ia ona he, kia rite ai ki a ia kahore nei he he.

4 Every one who is doing the sin, the lawlessness also he doth do, and the sin is the lawlessness,

Ko te tangata e mea ana i te hara, he takahi tana i te ture: he takahi hoki te hara i te ture.

5 and ye have known that he was manifested that our sins he may take away, and sin is not in him;

E matau ana ano koutou i whakakitea mai ia hei waha atu i o tatou hara; kahore ano hoki he hara i roto i a ia.

6 every one who is remaining in him doth not sin; every one who is sinning, hath not seen him, nor known him.

Ko te tangata e mau ana i roto i a ia e kore e hara: ko te tangata e hara ana, kahore i kite i a ia, kahore ano i matau ki a ia.

7 Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing the righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous,

E aku tamariki nonohi, kei whakapohehetia koutou e etahi: ko te tangata e mea ana i te tika, he tika ano ia, pera hoki me tera e tika ana.

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;

Ko te tangata e mea ana i te hara, no te rewera ia; he hara hoki to te rewera no te timatanga ra ano. Mo konei te Tama a te Atua i whakakitea mai ai, kia whakakahoretia ai e ia nga mahi a te rewera.

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.

Ko te tangata kua whanau i te Atua e kore e mea i te hara; no te mea e mau ana tana purapura i roto i a ia; e kore hoki e ahei i a ia te hara, no te mea kua whanau ia i te Atua.

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,

Ma konei ka kitea ai nga tamariki a te Atua me nga tamariki a te rewera: ko te tangata e kore e mahi i te tika, ehara ia i te Atua, me ia ano hoki e kore e aroha ki tona teina.

11 because this is the message that ye did hear from the beginning, that we may love one another,

Ko te korero hoki tenei i rongo ai koutou no te timatanga, kia aroha tatou tetahi ki tetahi.

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.

Kaua ra e pera me Kaina; no te wairua kino nei ia, a kohurutia ana e ia tona teina. Na te aha hoki ia i kohuru ai i a ia? No te mea he kino ana mahi, ko a tona teina ia he tika.

13 Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world doth hate you;

Kaua e miharo, e oku teina, ki te kino te ao ki a koutou.

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.

E matau ana tatou kua whiti tatou i te mate ki te ora, no te mea e aroha ana tatou ki nga teina. Ko te tangata kahore e aroha ki te teina, e noho ana ia i roto i te mate.

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)

Ko te tangata e mauahara ana ki tona teina, he kaipatu tangata ia: ka matau hoki koutou, ko te kaipatu tangata kahore he ora tonu e mau ana i roto i a ia. (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;

Na konei tatou i matau ai ki te aroha, i tuku atu hoki ia i a ia kia mate mo tatou: he tika ano kia tukua tatou e tatou ano ki te mate mo nga teina.

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?

Ko te tangata ia ia ia nei nga oranga o tenei ao, a ka kite e matea ana tetahi mea e tona teina, na ka tutakina iho e ia tona ngakau aroha ki a ia, e mau pehea ana te aroha o te Atua i roto i a ia?

18 My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!

E aku tamariki nonohi, kaua e waiho ma te kupu, ma te arero te aroha; engari ma te mahi, ma te pono.

19 and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,

Ma konei hoki tatou ka matau ai no te pono tatou, ka whakau ai hoki i o tatou ngakau i tona aroaro.

20 because if our heart may condemn — because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things.

Ki te mea ka whakahe mai o tatou ngakau i a tatou, nui atu te Atua i o tatou ngakau; e matau ana ano ia ki nga mea katoa.

21 Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,

E nga hoa aroha, ki te kore o tatou ngakau e whakahe i a tatou, ka maia tatou ki te Atua;

22 and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do,

A, ko te mea e inoia ana e tatou, ka homai e ia ki a tatou, no te mea e pupuri ana tatou i ana ture, e mea ana hoki i nga mea e ahuareka ana ki tana titiro.

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,

Ko tana ture ano tenei, kia whakapono tatou ki te ingoa o tana Tama, o Ihu Karaiti, kia aroha ano tetahi ki tetahi, kia rite ano ki te ture i homai e ia ki a tatou.

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.

Na, ko te tangata e pupuri ana i ana ture, e mau ana i roto i a ia me ia ano i roto i a ia. na konei ano tatou i matau ai e mau ana ia i roto i a tatou, na te Wairua kua homai nei e ia ki a tatou.
