1 hE priyabAlakAH, yuSmAbhi ryat pApaM na kriyEta tadarthaM yuSmAn pratyEtAni mayA likhyantE| yadi tu kEnApi pApaM kriyatE tarhi pituH samIpE 'smAkaM EkaH sahAyO 'rthatO dhArmmikO yIzuH khrISTO vidyatE|
My children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ [the] righteous;
2 sa cAsmAkaM pApAnAM prAyazcittaM kEvalamasmAkaM nahi kintu likhilasaMsArasya pApAnAM prAyazcittaM|
and he is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.
3 vayaM taM jAnIma iti tadIyAjnjApAlanEnAvagacchAmaH|
And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 ahaM taM jAnAmIti vaditvA yastasyAjnjA na pAlayati sO 'nRtavAdI satyamatanjca tasyAntarE na vidyatE|
He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
5 yaH kazcit tasya vAkyaM pAlayati tasmin Izvarasya prEma satyarUpENa sidhyati vayaM tasmin varttAmahE tad EtEnAvagacchAmaH|
but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
6 ahaM tasmin tiSThAmIti yO gadati tasyEdam ucitaM yat khrISTO yAdRg AcaritavAn sO 'pi tAdRg AcarEt|
He that says he abides in him ought, even as he walked, himself also [so] to walk.
7 hE priyatamAH, yuSmAn pratyahaM nUtanAmAjnjAM likhAmIti nahi kintvAditO yuSmAbhi rlabdhAM purAtanAmAjnjAM likhAmi| AditO yuSmAbhi ryad vAkyaM zrutaM sA purAtanAjnjA|
Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard.
8 punarapi yuSmAn prati nUtanAjnjA mayA likhyata Etadapi tasmin yuSmAsu ca satyaM, yatO 'ndhakArO vyatyEti satyA jyOtizcEdAnIM prakAzatE;
Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines.
9 ahaM jyOtiSi vartta iti gaditvA yaH svabhrAtaraM dvESTi sO 'dyApi tamisrE varttatE|
He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
10 svabhrAtari yaH prIyatE sa Eva jyOtiSi varttatE vighnajanakaM kimapi tasmin na vidyatE|
He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
11 kintu svabhrAtaraM yO dvESTi sa timirE varttatE timirE carati ca timirENa ca tasya nayanE 'ndhIkriyEtE tasmAt kka yAmIti sa jnjAtuM na zaknOti|
But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 hE zizavaH, yUyaM tasya nAmnA pApakSamAM prAptavantastasmAd ahaM yuSmAn prati likhAmi|
I write to you, children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 hE pitaraH, ya AditO varttamAnastaM yUyaM jAnItha tasmAd yuSmAn prati likhAmi| hE yuvAnaH yUyaM pApatmAnaM jitavantastasmAd yuSmAn prati likhAmi| hE bAlakAH, yUyaM pitaraM jAnItha tasmAdahaM yuSmAn prati likhitavAn|
I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked [one]. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14 hE pitaraH, AditO yO varttamAnastaM yUyaM jAnItha tasmAd yuSmAn prati likhitavAn| hE yuvAnaH, yUyaM balavanta AdhvE, Izvarasya vAkyanjca yuSmadantarE vartatE pApAtmA ca yuSmAbhiH parAjigyE tasmAd yuSmAn prati likhitavAn|
I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked [one].
15 yUyaM saMsArE saMsArasthaviSayESu ca mA prIyadhvaM yaH saMsArE prIyatE tasyAntarE pituH prEma na tiSThati|
Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him;
16 yataH saMsArE yadyat sthitam arthataH zArIrikabhAvasyAbhilASO darzanEndriyasyAbhilASO jIvanasya garvvazca sarvvamEtat pitRtO na jAyatE kintu saMsAradEva|
because all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 saMsArastadIyAbhilASazca vyatyEti kintu ya IzvarasyESTaM karOti sO 'nantakAlaM yAvat tiSThati| (aiōn g165)
And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity. (aiōn g165)
18 hE bAlakAH, zESakAlO'yaM, aparaM khrISTAriNOpasthAvyamiti yuSmAbhi ryathA zrutaM tathA bahavaH khrISTAraya upasthitAstasmAdayaM zESakAlO'stIti vayaM jAnImaH|
Little children, it is [the] last hour, and, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, whence we know that it is [the] last hour.
19 tE 'smanmadhyAn nirgatavantaH kintvasmadIyA nAsan yadyasmadIyA abhaviSyan tarhyasmatsaggE 'sthAsyan, kintu sarvvE 'smadIyA na santyEtasya prakAza Avazyaka AsIt|
They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none are of us.
20 yaH pavitrastasmAd yUyam abhiSEkaM prAptavantastEna sarvvANi jAnItha|
And ye have [the] unction from the holy [one], and ye know all things.
21 yUyaM satyamataM na jAnItha tatkAraNAd ahaM yuSmAn prati likhitavAn tannahi kintu yUyaM tat jAnItha satyamatAcca kimapyanRtavAkyaM nOtpadyatE tatkAraNAdEva|
I have not written to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 yIzurabhiSiktastrAtEti yO nAggIkarOti taM vinA kO 'parO 'nRtavAdI bhavEt? sa Eva khrISTAri ryaH pitaraM putranjca nAggIkarOti|
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
23 yaH kazcit putraM nAggIkarOti sa pitaramapi na dhArayati yazca putramaggIkarOti sa pitaramapi dhArayati|
Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 AditO yuSmAbhi ryat zrutaM tad yuSmAsu tiSThatu, AditaH zrutaM vAkyaM yadi yuSmAsu tiSThati, tarhi yUyamapi putrE pitari ca sthAsyatha|
As for you let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he has promised us, life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 yE janA yuSmAn bhrAmayanti tAnadhyaham idaM likhitavAn|
These things have I written to you concerning those who lead you astray:
27 aparaM yUyaM tasmAd yam abhiSEkaM prAptavantaH sa yuSmAsu tiSThati tataH kO'pi yad yuSmAn zikSayEt tad anAvazyakaM, sa cAbhiSEkO yuSmAn sarvvANi zikSayati satyazca bhavati na cAtathyaH, ataH sa yuSmAn yadvad azikSayat tadvat tatra sthAsyatha|
and yourselves, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28 ataEva hE priyabAlakA yUyaM tatra tiSThata, tathA sati sa yadA prakAziSyatE tadA vayaM pratibhAnvitA bhaviSyAmaH, tasyAgamanasamayE ca tasya sAkSAnna trapiSyAmahE|
And now, children, abide in him, that if he be manifested we may have boldness, and not be put to shame from before him at his coming.
29 sa dhArmmikO 'stIti yadi yUyaM jAnItha tarhi yaH kazcid dharmmAcAraM karOti sa tasmAt jAta ityapi jAnIta|
If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
