१ योहनः 2
1 हे प्रियबालकाः, युष्माभि र्यत् पापं न क्रियेत तदर्थं युष्मान् प्रत्येतानि मया लिख्यन्ते। यदि तु केनापि पापं क्रियते तर्हि पितुः समीपे ऽस्माकं एकः सहायो ऽर्थतो धार्म्मिको यीशुः ख्रीष्टो विद्यते।
My little children, these things I write to you, that ye sin not. And if any man sinneth, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 स चास्माकं पापानां प्रायश्चित्तं केवलमस्माकं नहि किन्तु लिखिलसंसारस्य पापानां प्रायश्चित्तं।
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.
3 वयं तं जानीम इति तदीयाज्ञापालनेनावगच्छामः।
And by this we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 अहं तं जानामीति वदित्वा यस्तस्याज्ञा न पालयति सो ऽनृतवादी सत्यमतञ्च तस्यान्तरे न विद्यते।
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 यः कश्चित् तस्य वाक्यं पालयति तस्मिन् ईश्वरस्य प्रेम सत्यरूपेण सिध्यति वयं तस्मिन् वर्त्तामहे तद् एतेनावगच्छामः।
But whoever keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: by this we know that we are in him.
6 अहं तस्मिन् तिष्ठामीति यो गदति तस्येदम् उचितं यत् ख्रीष्टो यादृग् आचरितवान् सो ऽपि तादृग् आचरेत्।
He that saith he abideth in him, ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 हे प्रियतमाः, युष्मान् प्रत्यहं नूतनामाज्ञां लिखामीति नहि किन्त्वादितो युष्माभि र्लब्धां पुरातनामाज्ञां लिखामि। आदितो युष्माभि र्यद् वाक्यं श्रुतं सा पुरातनाज्ञा।
Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
8 पुनरपि युष्मान् प्रति नूतनाज्ञा मया लिख्यत एतदपि तस्मिन् युष्मासु च सत्यं, यतो ऽन्धकारो व्यत्येति सत्या ज्योतिश्चेदानीं प्रकाशते;
Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9 अहं ज्योतिषि वर्त्त इति गदित्वा यः स्वभ्रातरं द्वेष्टि सो ऽद्यापि तमिस्रे वर्त्तते।
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 स्वभ्रातरि यः प्रीयते स एव ज्योतिषि वर्त्तते विघ्नजनकं किमपि तस्मिन् न विद्यते।
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
11 किन्तु स्वभ्रातरं यो द्वेष्टि स तिमिरे वर्त्तते तिमिरे चरति च तिमिरेण च तस्य नयने ऽन्धीक्रियेते तस्मात् क्क यामीति स ज्ञातुं न शक्नोति।
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 हे शिशवः, यूयं तस्य नाम्ना पापक्षमां प्राप्तवन्तस्तस्माद् अहं युष्मान् प्रति लिखामि।
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 हे पितरः, य आदितो वर्त्तमानस्तं यूयं जानीथ तस्माद् युष्मान् प्रति लिखामि। हे युवानः यूयं पापत्मानं जितवन्तस्तस्माद् युष्मान् प्रति लिखामि। हे बालकाः, यूयं पितरं जानीथ तस्मादहं युष्मान् प्रति लिखितवान्।
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 हे पितरः, आदितो यो वर्त्तमानस्तं यूयं जानीथ तस्माद् युष्मान् प्रति लिखितवान्। हे युवानः, यूयं बलवन्त आध्वे, ईश्वरस्य वाक्यञ्च युष्मदन्तरे वर्तते पापात्मा च युष्माभिः पराजिग्ये तस्माद् युष्मान् प्रति लिखितवान्।
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 abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
15 यूयं संसारे संसारस्थविषयेषु च मा प्रीयध्वं यः संसारे प्रीयते तस्यान्तरे पितुः प्रेम न तिष्ठति।
Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 यतः संसारे यद्यत् स्थितम् अर्थतः शारीरिकभावस्याभिलाषो दर्शनेन्द्रियस्याभिलाषो जीवनस्य गर्व्वश्च सर्व्वमेतत् पितृतो न जायते किन्तु संसारदेव।
For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
17 संसारस्तदीयाभिलाषश्च व्यत्येति किन्तु य ईश्वरस्येष्टं करोति सो ऽनन्तकालं यावत् तिष्ठति। (aiōn g165)
And the world passeth away, and the lust of it: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 हे बालकाः, शेषकालोऽयं, अपरं ख्रीष्टारिणोपस्थाव्यमिति युष्माभि र्यथा श्रुतं तथा बहवः ख्रीष्टारय उपस्थितास्तस्मादयं शेषकालोऽस्तीति वयं जानीमः।
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist cometh, even now are there many antichrists; by which we know that it is the last time.
19 ते ऽस्मन्मध्यान् निर्गतवन्तः किन्त्वस्मदीया नासन् यद्यस्मदीया अभविष्यन् तर्ह्यस्मत्सङ्गे ऽस्थास्यन्, किन्तु सर्व्वे ऽस्मदीया न सन्त्येतस्य प्रकाश आवश्यक आसीत्।
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would [no doubt] have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 यः पवित्रस्तस्माद् यूयम् अभिषेकं प्राप्तवन्तस्तेन सर्व्वाणि जानीथ।
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 यूयं सत्यमतं न जानीथ तत्कारणाद् अहं युष्मान् प्रति लिखितवान् तन्नहि किन्तु यूयं तत् जानीथ सत्यमताच्च किमप्यनृतवाक्यं नोत्पद्यते तत्कारणादेव।
I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 यीशुरभिषिक्तस्त्रातेति यो नाङ्गीकरोति तं विना को ऽपरो ऽनृतवादी भवेत्? स एव ख्रीष्टारि र्यः पितरं पुत्रञ्च नाङ्गीकरोति।
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 यः कश्चित् पुत्रं नाङ्गीकरोति स पितरमपि न धारयति यश्च पुत्रमङ्गीकरोति स पितरमपि धारयति।
Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 आदितो युष्माभि र्यत् श्रुतं तद् युष्मासु तिष्ठतु, आदितः श्रुतं वाक्यं यदि युष्मासु तिष्ठति, तर्हि यूयमपि पुत्रे पितरि च स्थास्यथ।
Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, [even] eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 ये जना युष्मान् भ्रामयन्ति तानध्यहम् इदं लिखितवान्।
These [things] have I written to you concerning them that seduce you.
27 अपरं यूयं तस्माद् यम् अभिषेकं प्राप्तवन्तः स युष्मासु तिष्ठति ततः कोऽपि यद् युष्मान् शिक्षयेत् तद् अनावश्यकं, स चाभिषेको युष्मान् सर्व्वाणि शिक्षयति सत्यश्च भवति न चातथ्यः, अतः स युष्मान् यद्वद् अशिक्षयत् तद्वत् तत्र स्थास्यथ।
But the anointing which ye have received from him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man should teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28 अतएव हे प्रियबालका यूयं तत्र तिष्ठत, तथा सति स यदा प्रकाशिष्यते तदा वयं प्रतिभान्विता भविष्यामः, तस्यागमनसमये च तस्य साक्षान्न त्रपिष्यामहे।
And now, little children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 स धार्म्मिको ऽस्तीति यदि यूयं जानीथ तर्हि यः कश्चिद् धर्म्माचारं करोति स तस्मात् जात इत्यपि जानीत।
If ye know that he is righteous ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
