I Jana 5

1 Każdy, kto wierzy, że Jezus jest Chrystusem, narodził się z Boga, a każdy, kto miłuje tego, który zrodził, miłuje też tego, który się z niego narodził.

All those who believe that Jesus is the (Messiah/person God sent [to rescue us]) are ones who [have truly] become children of God. And everyone who loves [a man who is] someone’s father will [be expected to] love that man’s children as well. [Similarly, those who love God, who has caused them to become his children] [MET], [should love their fellow believers, whom God has also caused to become his children].

2 Po tym poznajemy, że miłujemy dzieci Boże, gdy miłujemy Boga i zachowujemy jego przykazania.

The way we can be sure that we [truly] love God’s children is this: We are loving them when we love God and do what he commands [us to do].

3 Na tym bowiem polega miłość Boga, że zachowujemy jego przykazania, a jego przykazania nie są ciężkie.

[I say this] because our obeying what God commands [us to do] is [the same as] loving him. And it is not burdensome/difficult for [us to do] what God commands [us to do].

4 Bo wszystko, co się narodziło z Boga, zwycięża świat. A tym zwycięstwem, które zwyciężyło świat, jest nasza wiara.

All of us whom God has caused to become his children have been able to successfully resist (doing what/conducting our lives like) the people [MTY] [who] oppose God do. It is [only] by our trusting [in Christ] that we are able to (resist doing what/conducting our lives like) people in the world who are opposed to God [MTY] do.

5 Kto zwycięża świat, jeśli nie ten, kto wierzy, że Jezus jest Synem Bożym?

([I will tell you] who are the ones who are able to resist doing what the people who are opposed to God do./Do you know who are the ones who are able to resist conducting their lives like the people who are opposed to God [MTY] do? [RHQ]) It is those who believe that Jesus is (God’s Son/the man who is also God).

6 To jest ten, który przyszedł przez wodę i krew, Jezus Chrystus, nie tylko w wodzie, ale w wodzie i we krwi; a Duch jest tym, który świadczy, bo Duch jest prawdą.

[Think about] Jesus Christ. He is the one who came [to earth from God]. [God showed that he had truly sent Jesus when Jesus was baptized] in water [MTY] and [when Jesus’] blood [flowed from his body when he died]. [God showed this] not only [when Jesus was baptized] [MTY], but also when Jesus’ blood flowed [from his body when he died]. And [God’s] Spirit declares [truthfully that Jesus Christ came from God]. The Spirit always [speaks what] is true.

7 Trzej bowiem świadczą w niebie: Ojciec, Słowo i Duch Święty, a ci trzej jedno są.

There are three [ways] by which we know [that Christ came from God].

8 A trzej świadczą na ziemi: Duch, woda i krew, a ci trzej są zgodni.

[Those three ways are: What God’s] Spirit [tells us, what God said when Jesus was baptized] [MTY] [in/with] water, and [Jesus’] blood [that flowed from his body when he died on the cross]. These three things all tell us the same thing, [that Jesus came from God].

9 Jeśli przyjmujemy świadectwo ludzi, to świadectwo Boga jest większe. To bowiem jest świadectwo Boga, które dał o swoim Synu.

We [usually] believe what [other] people say. But what God says is more [reliable/trustworthy than what people say]. So [we must believe] what God has said is true [about] (his Son/the one who is also God).

10 Kto wierzy w Syna Bożego, ma świadectwo w sobie. Kto nie wierzy Bogu, zrobił z niego kłamcę, bo nie uwierzył świadectwu, które Bóg dał o swoim Synu.

Those who trust in the Son of God know within their (inner beings/hearts) that [what God] says [about his Son is true. But] those who refuse to believe that [what] God says is true are saying that God is a liar, because they refuse to believe what God has said about (his Son/the one who is also God).

11 A [to] świadectwo jest takie, że Bóg dał nam życie wieczne, a to życie jest w jego Synu. (aiōnios g166)

This is what [God] says [to us]: “I have given you eternal life!” We will live forever if we have a close relationship with his Son. (aiōnios g166)

12 Kto ma Syna, ma życie, kto nie ma Syna Bożego, nie ma życia.

Those who have [a close relationship with God’s] Son (OR, who have accepted what God’s Son [has done for them]) have [already] begun to live [forever]. [But] those who do not have a relationship with (God’s Son/the one who is also God) (OR, who have not accepted what God’s Son has done for them) have not begun [to] live [forever].

13 To napisałem wam, którzy wierzycie w imię Syna Bożego, abyście wiedzieli, że macie życie wieczne i abyście wierzyli w imię Syna Bożego. (aiōnios g166)

I have written this [letter] to you who believe that Jesus is [MTY] (God’s Son/the one who is also God) in order that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

14 Taka zaś jest ufność, którą mamy do niego, że jeśli o coś prosimy zgodnie z jego wolą, wysłuchuje nas.

Because we have a close relationship with him, we are very confident that he hears us when we ask him [to do anything] that is in accordance with (his will/what he desires).

15 A jeśli wiemy, że nas wysłuchuje, o cokolwiek prosimy, [wtedy] wiemy, że otrzymujemy to, o co go prosiliśmy.

[And] since we know that he hears whenever we ask [him for something], we [also] know that [it is as though] he has [already] done what we requested him [to do].

16 Jeśli ktoś widzi swego brata, który popełnia grzech nie na śmierć, niech się [za niego] modli, a Bóg da mu życie, [to jest] tym, którzy popełniają grzech nie na śmierć. Jest grzech na śmierć. Nie mówię, aby [ktoś] modlił się za to.

Those who see one of their fellow believers sinning in a way that does not result in being eternally separated from God should ask [God to help that fellow believer]; and [as a result God] will help that fellow believer and enable him or her to live [eternally. But some people] sin [in a manner that causes them] to be separated from God eternally. I am not saying that [you should] ask [God to help] people who sin like that.

17 Wszelka niesprawiedliwość jest grzechem, jest jednak grzech nie na śmierć.

Everyone who does what is wrong is sinning, but there are some sins that do not cause a person to be separated from God.

18 Wiemy, że każdy, kto się narodził z Boga, nie grzeszy, ale kto się narodził z Boga, zachowuje samego siebie, a zły go nie dotyka.

We know that if a person has new life from God [MET], that person does not continue sinning. Instead, the (Son of/one who is also) God protects him so that [Satan], the evil one, does not harm him [spiritually].

19 Wiemy, że jesteśmy z Boga, a cały świat tkwi w niegodziwości.

We know that we belong to God, and [we know] that the evil one controls all [the evil people in] [MTY] the world.

20 A wiemy, że Syn Boży przyszedł i dał nam rozum, abyśmy poznali prawdziwego Boga, i jesteśmy w tym prawdziwym, [to jest] w jego Synu, Jezusie Chrystusie. On jest prawdziwym Bogiem i życiem wiecznym. (aiōnios g166)

We also know that (God’s Son/the one who is also God) has come [to us], and [we know] that he has enabled us to know God, the one who is really/truly God. So now we have a close relationship with [God because] we belong to Jesus Christ, the one who is the (Son of/man who is also) God. Jesus Christ is truly God, and [he is the one who enables us to have] eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

21 Dzieci, wystrzegajcie się bożków. Amen.

[I say to] you who are very dear to me, guard/keep yourselves from [worshipping] gods [that have no real power]!
