१ यूहन्ना 3
1 हेर, पिताले हामीलाई कस्तो किसिमको प्रेम दिनुभएको छ, कि हामीलाई परमेश्वरको सन्तान भनियोस् र हामी यही हौँ । यसैकारण, संसारले हामीलाई चिन्दैन, किनकि संसारले उहाँलाई चिनेन ।
See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world does not know us, because it did not know him.
2 प्रिय हो, अब हामी परमेश्वरका सन्तानहरू हौँ, र हामी के हुनेछौँ भन्ने अझ पनि प्रकट गरिएको छैन । हामी जान्दछौँ, कि जब येशू देखा पर्नुहुनेछ, हामी उहाँजस्तै हुनेछौँ, किनकि उहाँजस्तो हुनुहुन्छ त्यस्तै हामी उहाँलाई देख्नेछौँ ।
Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.
3 उहाँमा यो दृढता हुने हरेकले आफूलाई उहाँ जस्तो शुद्ध हुनुहुन्छ त्यस्तै शुद्ध पार्छ ।
Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
4 पाप गर्ने हरेकले व्यवस्था भङ्ग गर्छ, पाप व्यवस्था भङ्ग हो ।
Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
5 पापहरू हटाई लानलाई नै ख्रीष्ट प्रकट हुनुभयो भन्ने तिमीहरू जान्दछौ, र उहाँमा कुनै पाप छैन ।
You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
6 उहाँमा रहनेले पाप गर्दैन । पाप गर्नेले न उहाँलाई देखेको छ न चिनेको नै हुन्छ ।
Whoever remains in him does not sin. Whoever sins has not seen him and does not know him.
7 प्रिय बालकहरू हो, तिमीहरूलाई कसैले नबहकाओस् । जस्तो ख्रीष्ट धर्मिक हुनुहुन्छ त्यस्तै धार्मिकता गर्ने नै धर्मी हो ।
Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 जसले पाप गर्छ, त्यो शैतानको हो, किनभने शैतानले सुरुदेखि नै पाप गरेको छ । यसैकारण, परमेश्वरको पुत्र प्रकट हुनुभयो, ताकि उहाँले शैतानका कामहरू नष्ट गर्नुभएको होस् ।
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 जो परमेश्वरबाट जन्मेको छ त्यसले पाप गर्दैन, किनकि परमेश्वरको स्वभाव त्यसमा रहन्छ, र उसले पाप गर्न सक्दैन, किनकि त्यो परमेश्वरबाट जन्मेको हो ।
Whoever is born of God does not commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 यसैमा परमेश्वरका सन्तानहरू र शैतानका सन्तानहरू प्रकट गरिन्छन् । जसले धार्मिकता गर्दैन त्यो परमेश्वरको होइन, न आफ्नो भाइलाई प्रेम नगर्ने नै हो ।
In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever does not do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who does not love his brother.
11 तिमीले सुरुदेखि सुनेको सन्देश यही नै हो, हामीले एक अर्कालाई प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ ।
For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
12 कयिनजस्तो होइन जो दुष्टको थियो र त्यसले आफ्नो भाइलाई मार्यो । अनि उसले आफ्नो भाइको हत्या किन गर्यो? किनकि उसका कामहरू दुष्ट थिए र उसको भाइका काम धार्मिक थिए ।
unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
13 मेरा भाइहरू, यदि संसारले तिमीहरूलाई घृणा गर्छ भने तिमीहरू अचम्म नमान ।
Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
14 हामी जान्दछौँ, कि हामी मृत्यु पार गरेर जीवनमा सरेका छौँ, किनकि हामी दाजुभाइहरूलाई प्रेम गर्छौं । जसले प्रेम गर्दैन, त्यो मृत्युमा रहन्छ ।
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love his brother remains in death.
15 जसले आफ्नो भाइलाई घृणा गर्छ त्यो हत्यारा हो । अनि तिमीहरू जान्दछौ, कि कुनै पनि हत्यारासँग अनन्त जीवन हुँदैन । (aiōnios g166)
Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has consummate (aiōnios g166) life remaining in him.
16 यसैद्वारा हामी प्रेम थाहा पाउँछौँ, किनकि ख्रीष्टले हाम्रो निम्ति आफ्नो जीवन दिनुभयो । हामीले पनि हाम्रा दाजुभाइहरूका निम्ति हाम्रो जीवन दिनुपर्छ ।
By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
17 तर जससँग संसारका थोकहरू छन्, जसले आफनो भाइ खाँचोमा परेको देखेर पनि दयाको हृदय त्यसबाट बन्द गर्छ भने कसरी परमेश्वरको प्रेम त्यसमा रहन्छ?
But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?
18 मेरा प्रिय बालकहरूल हो, हामी वचन र मुखले मात्र प्रेम नगरौँ, तर सत्यता र कामले प्रेम गरौँ ।
My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
19 यसैद्वारा हामी सत्यका हौँ भन्ने जान्दछौँ र हाम्रो हृदयलाई उहाँको सामुन्ने निश्चय गर्छौं ।
And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
20 किनकि यदि हाम्रो हृदयले हामीलाई दोष दिन्छ भने परमेश्वर हाम्रो हृदयभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँले सबै थोक जान्नुहुन्छ ।
because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
21 प्रिय हो, यदि हाम्रो हृदयले हामीलाई दोष दिँदैन भने हामी परमेश्वरप्रति दृढ छौँ ।
Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
22 अनि हामीले जे माग्छौँ त्यो हामी उहाँबाट पाउँछौँ, किनकि हामीले उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्छौं र उहाँको दृष्टिमा असल हुने थोकहरू गर्छौं ।
so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 अनि यो उहाँको आज्ञा हो, जस्तो उहाँले हामीलाई यो आज्ञा दिनुभयो, हामीले उहाँका पुत्र येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँमा विश्वास गर्नुपर्छ र एक अर्कोलाई प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ ।
This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.
24 जसले परमेश्वरका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्छ, त्यो उहाँमा रहन्छ र परमेश्वर त्यसमा रहनुहुन्छ । अनि यसैद्वारा हामी जान्दछौ, कि हामीलाई दिनुभएको पवित्र आत्माद्वारा उहाँ हामीमा रहनुहुन्छ ।
He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
