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 little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,
2 sa cAsmAkaM pApAnAM prAyazcittaM kEvalamasmAkaM nahi kintu likhilasaMsArasya pApAnAM prAyazcittaM|
and he — he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world,
3 vayaM taM jAnIma iti tadIyAjnjApAlanEnAvagacchAmaH|
and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;
4 ahaM taM jAnAmIti vaditvA yastasyAjnjA na pAlayati sO 'nRtavAdI satyamatanjca tasyAntarE na vidyatE|
he who is saying, 'I have known him,' and his command is not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not;
5 yaH kazcit tasya vAkyaM pAlayati tasmin Izvarasya prEma satyarUpENa sidhyati vayaM tasmin varttAmahE tad EtEnAvagacchAmaH|
and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.
6 ahaM tasmin tiSThAmIti yO gadati tasyEdam ucitaM yat khrISTO yAdRg AcaritavAn sO 'pi tAdRg AcarEt|
He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.
7 hE priyatamAH, yuSmAn pratyahaM nUtanAmAjnjAM likhAmIti nahi kintvAditO yuSmAbhi rlabdhAM purAtanAmAjnjAM likhAmi| AditO yuSmAbhi ryad vAkyaM zrutaM sA purAtanAjnjA|
Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning — the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning;
8 punarapi yuSmAn prati nUtanAjnjA mayA likhyata Etadapi tasmin yuSmAsu ca satyaM, yatO 'ndhakArO vyatyEti satyA jyOtizcEdAnIM prakAzatE;
again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine;
9 ahaM jyOtiSi vartta iti gaditvA yaH svabhrAtaraM dvESTi sO 'dyApi tamisrE varttatE|
he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now;
10 svabhrAtari yaH prIyatE sa Eva jyOtiSi varttatE vighnajanakaM kimapi tasmin na vidyatE|
he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not;
11 kintu svabhrAtaraM yO dvESTi sa timirE varttatE timirE carati ca timirENa ca tasya nayanE 'ndhIkriyEtE tasmAt kka yAmIti sa jnjAtuM na zaknOti|
and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes.
12 hE zizavaH, yUyaM tasya nAmnA pApakSamAM prAptavantastasmAd ahaM yuSmAn prati likhAmi|
I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;
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 who [is] from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, 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 did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil.
15 yUyaM saMsArE saMsArasthaviSayESu ca mA prIyadhvaM yaH saMsArE prIyatE tasyAntarE pituH prEma na tiSThati|
Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth 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 desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life — is not of the Father, but of the world,
17 saMsArastadIyAbhilASazca vyatyEti kintu ya IzvarasyESTaM karOti sO 'nantakAlaM yAvat tiSThati| (aiōn g165)
and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain — to the age. (aiōn g165)
18 hE bAlakAH, zESakAlO'yaM, aparaM khrISTAriNOpasthAvyamiti yuSmAbhi ryathA zrutaM tathA bahavaH khrISTAraya upasthitAstasmAdayaM zESakAlO'stIti vayaM jAnImaH|
Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as ye heard that the antichrist doth come, even now antichrists have become many — 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|
out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but — that they might be manifested that they are not all of us.
20 yaH pavitrastasmAd yUyam abhiSEkaM prAptavantastEna sarvvANi jAnItha|
And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
21 yUyaM satyamataM na jAnItha tatkAraNAd ahaM yuSmAn prati likhitavAn tannahi kintu yUyaM tat jAnItha satyamatAcca kimapyanRtavAkyaM nOtpadyatE tatkAraNAdEva|
I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth, but because ye have known it, and because 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, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;
23 yaH kazcit putraM nAggIkarOti sa pitaramapi na dhArayati yazca putramaggIkarOti sa pitaramapi dhArayati|
every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, [he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.]
24 AditO yuSmAbhi ryat zrutaM tad yuSmAsu tiSThatu, AditaH zrutaM vAkyaM yadi yuSmAsu tiSThati, tarhi yUyamapi putrE pitari ca sthAsyatha|
Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain,
and this is the promise that He did promise us — the life the age-during. (aiōnios g166)
26 yE janA yuSmAn bhrAmayanti tAnadhyaham idaM likhitavAn|
These things I did write to you concerning those leading 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 you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain 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, little children, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in his presence;
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 ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten.
