< 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 ।
Behold, how great love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the children of God! For this reason, the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
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 are we the children of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 उहाँमा यो दृढता हुने हरेकले आफूलाई उहाँ जस्तो शुद्ध हुनुहुन्छ त्यस्तै शुद्ध पार्छ ।
And every one that has this hope in Him purifies himself, even as He is pure.
4 पाप गर्ने हरेकले व्यवस्था भङ्ग गर्छ, पाप व्यवस्था भङ्ग हो ।
Every one that works sin, works also transgression of law: and sin is transgression of law.
5 पापहरू हटाई लानलाई नै ख्रीष्ट प्रकट हुनुभयो भन्ने तिमीहरू जान्दछौ, र उहाँमा कुनै पाप छैन ।
And you know that he was manifested, that he might take away our sins; and in him there is no sin.
6 उहाँमा रहनेले पाप गर्दैन । पाप गर्नेले न उहाँलाई देखेको छ न चिनेको नै हुन्छ ।
Whoever abides in him, sins not. Whoever sins, has neither seen him nor known him.
7 प्रिय बालकहरू हो, तिमीहरूलाई कसैले नबहकाओस् । जस्तो ख्रीष्ट धर्मिक हुनुहुन्छ त्यस्तै धार्मिकता गर्ने नै धर्मी हो ।
Little children, let no one deceive you: he that works 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 that works sin is of the devil, for the devil sins from the beginning: for this purpose was the son of God manifested, 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 has been begotten of God does not work sin; because his seed remains in him: and he can not sin, because he has been begotten of God.
10 यसैमा परमेश्वरका सन्तानहरू र शैतानका सन्तानहरू प्रकट गरिन्छन् । जसले धार्मिकता गर्दैन त्यो परमेश्वरको होइन, न आफ्नो भाइलाई प्रेम नगर्ने नै हो ।
By this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whoever does not work righteousness is not of God; neither is he that loves not his brother.
11 तिमीले सुरुदेखि सुनेको सन्देश यही नै हो, हामीले एक अर्कालाई प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ ।
For this is the message that you have 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 ।
Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and slew his brother: and for what reason did he slay him? because his own works were evil, and his brother’s, righteous.
13 मेरा भाइहरू, यदि संसारले तिमीहरूलाई घृणा गर्छ भने तिमीहरू अचम्म नमान ।
Wonder not, my brethren, 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 from death to life, because we love the brethren: he that loves not his brother, abides in death.
15 जसले आफ्नो भाइलाई घृणा गर्छ त्यो हत्यारा हो । अनि तिमीहरू जान्दछौ, कि कुनै पनि हत्यारासँग अनन्त जीवन हुँदैन । (aiōnios )
Whoever hates his brother, is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios )
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 the love of Christ, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 तर जससँग संसारका थोकहरू छन्, जसले आफनो भाइ खाँचोमा परेको देखेर पनि दयाको हृदय त्यसबाट बन्द गर्छ भने कसरी परमेश्वरको प्रेम त्यसमा रहन्छ?
Whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother have need, and shuts his heart against him, how dwells the love of God in him?
18 मेरा प्रिय बालकहरूल हो, हामी वचन र मुखले मात्र प्रेम नगरौँ, तर सत्यता र कामले प्रेम गरौँ ।
My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in 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 we shall have our hearts at rest before him:
20 किनकि यदि हाम्रो हृदयले हामीलाई दोष दिन्छ भने परमेश्वर हाम्रो हृदयभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँले सबै थोक जान्नुहुन्छ ।
for if our heart condemn us, we know that 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 heart condemn us not, we have confidence toward God,
22 अनि हामीले जे माग्छौँ त्यो हामी उहाँबाट पाउँछौँ, किनकि हामीले उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्छौं र उहाँको दृष्टिमा असल हुने थोकहरू गर्छौं ।
and 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 ।
And this is his commandment: That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
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 ।
And he that keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.
