< १ यूहन्ना 2 >
1 मेरा प्रिय बालकहरू हो, तिमीहरूले पाप नगर भनी म यी कुराहरू तिमीहरूलाई लेख्छु । तर यदि कसैले पाप गर्छ भने हाम्रो निम्ति पितासँग वकालत गर्ने एक जना अर्थात् धर्मी येशू ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ ।
My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
2 उहाँ हाम्रा पापहरूका निम्ति प्रायश्चित्त हुनुहुन्छ, र हाम्रो लागि मात्र होइन, तर सारा संसारको लागि पनि हो ।
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 यदि हामीले उहाँको आज्ञा पालन गर्छौं भने यसैद्वारा हामी जान्दछौँ कि हामी उहाँलाई चिन्छौँ ।
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4 जसले “म परमेश्वरलाई चिन्छु “भन्छ, तर उहाँको आज्ञा पालन गर्दैन भने त्यो झुटो हो, र त्यसमा सत्य हुँदैन ।
One who says, “I know him,” and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 तर जसले उहाँको वचन पालन गर्छ, साँच्चै त्यो व्यक्ति परमेश्वरको प्रेमले सिद्ध भएको हुन्छ । हामी उहाँमा छौँ भन्ने हामी यसैद्वारा थाहा पाउनेछौँ ।
But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:
6 परमेश्वरमा रहन्छु भन्ने व्यक्ति आफैँ पनि येशू ख्रीष्ट जिउनु भएझैँ जिउनुपर्छ ।
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
7 प्रिय हो, मैले तिमीहरूलाई नयाँ आज्ञा लेखिरहेको छैनँ, तर तिमीहरूसँग सुरुदेखि भएको पुरानो आज्ञा नै हो । तिमीहरूले सुनेको वचन पुरानो आज्ञा नै हो ।
Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.
8 तापनि म तिमीहरूलाई नयाँ आज्ञा लेखिरहेको छु, जुन ख्रीष्टमा र तिमीहरूमा सत्य छ, किनभने अन्धकार बितिरहेको छ, र साँचो ज्योति अगिदेखि नै चम्किरहेको छ ।
Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light already shines.
9 जसले ज्योतिमा छु भन्छ र आफ्नो भाइलाई घृणा गर्छ, त्यो अझ पनि अन्धकारमा नै छ ।
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.
10 जसले आफ्नो भाइलाई प्रेम गर्छ त्यो ज्योतिमा रहन्छ, र त्यसलाई ठेस लाग्ने कुनै अवसर हुँदैन ।
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
11 तर जसले आफ्नो भाइलाई घृणा गर्छ, त्यो अझै अन्धकारमा नै हुन्छ र अन्धकारमा हिँड्छ । त्यो कहाँ गइरहेको छ भनी त्यसलाई थाहा पाउँदैन, किनभने अन्धकारले त्यसको आँखा अन्धो तुल्याएको छ ।
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 मेरा प्रिय बालकहरू, म तिमीहरूलाई लेख्छु, किनभने तिमीहरूका पाप ख्रीष्टको नाउँको खातिर क्षमा गरिएका छन् ।
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 बुबाहरू हो, म तपाईंहरूलाई लेख्छु, किनभने सुरुदेखि नै हुनुहुनेलाई तपाईंहरू चिन्नुहुन्छ । जवानहरू हो, म तिमीहरूलाई लेख्छु, किनभने तिमीहरूले दुष्टलाई जितेका छौ । साना बालकहरू हो, मैले तिमीहरूलाई लेखेको छु, किनभने तिमीहरू पितालाई चिन्छौ ।
I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
14 बुबाहरू, मैले तपाईंहरूलाई लेखेको छु, किनभने तपाईंहरूले सुरुदेखि हुनुहुनेलाई चिन्नुहुन्छ । जवानहरू, मैले तिमीहरूलाई लेखेको छु, किनकि तिमीहरू बलिया छौ, र परमेश्वरको वचन तिमीहरूमा रहन्छ, र तिमीहरू दुष्टमाथि विजय भएका छौ ।
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 संसारलाई प्रेम नगर, न त संसारमा भएका थोकहरूलाई नै । कसैले संसारलाई प्रेम गर्छ भने पिताको प्रेम त्यसमा हुँदैन ।
Do not love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love is not in him.
16 किनभने संसारमा भएका सबै थोकहरू अर्थात् शरिरको अभिलाषा, आँखाको अभिलाषा र जीवनको शेखी पिताबाट आएका होइनन्, तर संसारबाट आएका हुन् ।
For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not the Father’s, but is the world’s.
17 संसार र यसका इच्छाहरू बितेर जाँदै छन् । तर जसले परमेश्वरको इच्छाअनुसार गर्छ, त्यो सदासर्वदा रहिरहन्छ । (aiōn )
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains for the age (aiōn ).
18 साना बालकहरू हो, यो आखिरी घडी हो । तिमीहरूले ख्रीष्ट विरोधी आइरहेको छ भनी सुन्दै छौ, अहिले पनि धेरै ख्रीष्ट विरोधीहरू आइसकेका छन् । यसद्वारा नै यो आखिरी घडी हो भन्ने हामी जान्दछौँ ।
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
19 तिनीहरू हामीबाट बाहिर गए, तर तिनीहरू हाम्रा थिएनन् । यदि तिनीहरू हाम्रा भएका भए तिनीहरू हामीहरूसँगै रहिरहने थिए, तर तिनीहरू हाम्रा होइनन् भन्ने देखाउन तिनीहरू गए ।
They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
20 तर तिमीहरूसँग पवित्र हुनुहुनेबाटको अभिषेक छ, र तिमीहरू सबैले सत्य जान्दछौ ।
You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.
21 तिमीहरूले सत्य जानेका छैनौ भनेर मैले लेखेको होइनँ, तर तिमीहरूले यो जानेका हुनाले र कुनै पनि झुट सत्य नहुने हुनाले हो ।
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 येशू नै ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ भनी इन्कार गर्नेबाहेक अर्को झुट को हुन्छ? यो व्यक्ति नै ख्रीष्ट विरोधी हो, किनभने त्यसले पिता र पुत्रलाई इन्कार गर्छ ।
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
23 पुत्रलाई इन्कार गर्ने कोहीसँग पनि पिता हुनुहुन्न; पुत्रलाई स्वीकार गर्नेसँग पिता पनि हुनुहुन्छ ।
Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 तिमीहरूका हकमा, तिमीहरूले सुरुदेखि सुनेका कुरा तिमीहरूमा रहोस् । तिमीहरूले सुरुदेखि सुनेका कुरा तिमीहरूमा रहन्छ भने तिमीहरू पनि पिता र पुत्रमा रहन्छौ ।
Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
25 उहाँले हामीलाई प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको कुरा अर्थात् अनन्त जीवन यही हो । (aiōnios )
This is the promise which he promised us, the consummate (aiōnios ) life.
26 तिमीहरूलाई बहकाउनेहरूको बारेमा मैले यी कुराहरू तिमीहरूलाई लेखिसकेको छु ।
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 तिमीहरूका हकमा, तिमीहरूले उहाँबाट पाएका अभिषेक तिमीहरूमा रहन्छ र तिमीहरूलाई सिकाउन कसैको आवश्यक पर्दैन । तर उहाँको अभिषेकले नै तिमीहरूलाई सबै थोकहरूबारे सिकाउनुहुन्छ, अनि त्यो सत्य हो, झुटो होइन । उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई सिकाउनुभएअनुसार, उहाँमा रहो ।
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.
28 अब मेरा प्रिय बालकहरू हो, उहाँमा रहो, ताकि उहाँ प्रकट हुनुहुँदा हामीमा साहस होस् र उहाँको आगमनमा उहाँको सामु लज्जित हुनु नपरोस् ।
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 यदि उहाँ धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्दछौ भने धार्मिक व्यवहार गर्ने हरेक उहाँबाट जन्मेको हो भन्ने तिमीहरूले जान्दछौ ।
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
