1 yōhanaḥ 2
1 hē priyabālakāḥ, yuṣmābhi ryat pāpaṁ na kriyēta tadarthaṁ yuṣmān pratyētāni mayā likhyantē| yadi tu kēnāpi pāpaṁ kriyatē tarhi pituḥ samīpē 'smākaṁ ēkaḥ sahāyō 'rthatō dhārmmikō yīśuḥ khrīṣṭō vidyatē|
My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
2 sa cāsmākaṁ pāpānāṁ prāyaścittaṁ kēvalamasmākaṁ nahi kintu likhilasaṁsārasya pāpānāṁ prāyaścittaṁ|
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 vayaṁ taṁ jānīma iti tadīyājñāpālanēnāvagacchāmaḥ|
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4 ahaṁ taṁ jānāmīti vaditvā yastasyājñā na pālayati sō 'nr̥tavādī satyamatañca tasyāntarē na vidyatē|
One who says, "I know him," and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 yaḥ kaścit tasya vākyaṁ pālayati tasmin īśvarasya prēma satyarūpēṇa sidhyati vayaṁ tasmin varttāmahē tad ētēnāvagacchāmaḥ|
But whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
6 ahaṁ tasmin tiṣṭhāmīti yō gadati tasyēdam ucitaṁ yat khrīṣṭō yādr̥g ācaritavān sō 'pi tādr̥g ācarēt|
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
7 hē priyatamāḥ, yuṣmān pratyahaṁ nūtanāmājñāṁ likhāmīti nahi kintvāditō yuṣmābhi rlabdhāṁ purātanāmājñāṁ likhāmi| āditō yuṣmābhi ryad vākyaṁ śrutaṁ sā purātanājñā|
Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard.
8 punarapi yuṣmān prati nūtanājñā mayā likhyata ētadapi tasmin yuṣmāsu ca satyaṁ, yatō 'ndhakārō vyatyēti satyā jyōtiścēdānīṁ prakāśatē;
Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
9 ahaṁ jyōtiṣi vartta iti gaditvā yaḥ svabhrātaraṁ dvēṣṭi sō 'dyāpi tamisrē varttatē|
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
10 svabhrātari yaḥ prīyatē sa ēva jyōtiṣi varttatē vighnajanakaṁ kimapi tasmin na vidyatē|
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
11 kintu svabhrātaraṁ yō dvēṣṭi sa timirē varttatē timirē carati ca timirēṇa ca tasya nayanē 'ndhīkriyētē tasmāt kka yāmīti sa jñātuṁ na śaknōti|
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 hē śiśavaḥ, yūyaṁ tasya nāmnā pāpakṣamāṁ prāptavantastasmād ahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhāmi|
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 hē pitaraḥ, ya āditō varttamānastaṁ yūyaṁ jānītha tasmād yuṣmān prati likhāmi| hē yuvānaḥ yūyaṁ pāpatmānaṁ jitavantastasmād yuṣmān prati likhāmi| hē bālakāḥ, yūyaṁ pitaraṁ jānītha tasmādahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhitavān|
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
14 hē pitaraḥ, āditō yō varttamānastaṁ yūyaṁ jānītha tasmād yuṣmān prati likhitavān| hē yuvānaḥ, yūyaṁ balavanta ādhvē, īśvarasya vākyañca yuṣmadantarē vartatē pāpātmā ca yuṣmābhiḥ parājigyē tasmād yuṣmān prati likhitavān|
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 yūyaṁ saṁsārē saṁsārasthaviṣayēṣu ca mā prīyadhvaṁ yaḥ saṁsārē prīyatē tasyāntarē pituḥ prēma na tiṣṭhati|
Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.
16 yataḥ saṁsārē yadyat sthitam arthataḥ śārīrikabhāvasyābhilāṣō darśanēndriyasyābhilāṣō jīvanasya garvvaśca sarvvamētat pitr̥tō na jāyatē kintu saṁsāradēva|
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
17 saṁsārastadīyābhilāṣaśca vyatyēti kintu ya īśvarasyēṣṭaṁ karōti sō 'nantakālaṁ yāvat tiṣṭhati| (aiōn g165)
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
18 hē bālakāḥ, śēṣakālō'yaṁ, aparaṁ khrīṣṭāriṇōpasthāvyamiti yuṣmābhi ryathā śrutaṁ tathā bahavaḥ khrīṣṭāraya upasthitāstasmādayaṁ śēṣakālō'stīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
19 tē 'smanmadhyān nirgatavantaḥ kintvasmadīyā nāsan yadyasmadīyā abhaviṣyan tarhyasmatsaṅgē 'sthāsyan, kintu sarvvē 'smadīyā na santyētasya prakāśa āvaśyaka āsīt|
They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
20 yaḥ pavitrastasmād yūyam abhiṣēkaṁ prāptavantastēna sarvvāṇi jānītha|
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 yūyaṁ satyamataṁ na jānītha tatkāraṇād ahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhitavān tannahi kintu yūyaṁ tat jānītha satyamatācca kimapyanr̥tavākyaṁ nōtpadyatē tatkāraṇādēva|
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 yīśurabhiṣiktastrātēti yō nāṅgīkarōti taṁ vinā kō 'parō 'nr̥tavādī bhavēt? sa ēva khrīṣṭāri ryaḥ pitaraṁ putrañca nāṅgīkarōti|
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
23 yaḥ kaścit putraṁ nāṅgīkarōti sa pitaramapi na dhārayati yaśca putramaṅgīkarōti sa pitaramapi dhārayati|
Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 āditō yuṣmābhi ryat śrutaṁ tad yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhatu, āditaḥ śrutaṁ vākyaṁ yadi yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhati, tarhi yūyamapi putrē pitari ca sthāsyatha|
As for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
This is the promise which he promised us, the everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
26 yē janā yuṣmān bhrāmayanti tānadhyaham idaṁ likhitavān|
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 aparaṁ yūyaṁ tasmād yam abhiṣēkaṁ prāptavantaḥ sa yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhati tataḥ kō'pi yad yuṣmān śikṣayēt tad anāvaśyakaṁ, sa cābhiṣēkō yuṣmān sarvvāṇi śikṣayati satyaśca bhavati na cātathyaḥ, ataḥ sa yuṣmān yadvad aśikṣayat tadvat tatra sthāsyatha|
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you remain in him.
28 ataēva hē priyabālakā yūyaṁ tatra tiṣṭhata, tathā sati sa yadā prakāśiṣyatē tadā vayaṁ pratibhānvitā bhaviṣyāmaḥ, tasyāgamanasamayē ca tasya sākṣānna trapiṣyāmahē|
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 sa dhārmmikō 'stīti yadi yūyaṁ jānītha tarhi yaḥ kaścid dharmmācāraṁ karōti sa tasmāt jāta ityapi jānīta|
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
