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 dear children! these things, am I writing unto you, in order that ye may not be committing sin. And, if anyone should commit sin, an Advocate, have we, with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous;
2 sa cāsmākaṁ pāpānāṁ prāyaścittaṁ kēvalamasmākaṁ nahi kintu likhilasaṁsārasya pāpānāṁ prāyaścittaṁ|
And, he, is, a propitiation, concerning our sins, —and, not concerning our own only, but, also concerning those of the whole world.
3 vayaṁ taṁ jānīma iti tadīyājñāpālanēnāvagacchāmaḥ|
And, hereby, perceive we, that we understand him, —if, his commandments, we are keeping.
4 ahaṁ taṁ jānāmīti vaditvā yastasyājñā na pālayati sō 'nr̥tavādī satyamatañca tasyāntarē na vidyatē|
He that saith—I understand him! And, his commandments, is not keeping, is false, and, in him, the truth is not!
5 yaḥ kaścit tasya vākyaṁ pālayati tasmin īśvarasya prēma satyarūpēṇa sidhyati vayaṁ tasmin varttāmahē tad ētēnāvagacchāmaḥ|
But whosoever may be keeping his word, of a truth, in this man, the love of God hath been made perfect. Hereby, perceive we, that, in him, we are.
6 ahaṁ tasmin tiṣṭhāmīti yō gadati tasyēdam ucitaṁ yat khrīṣṭō yādr̥g ācaritavān sō 'pi tādr̥g ācarēt|
He that saith, that, in him, he abideth, ought, just as He walked, himself also, to be walking.
7 hē priyatamāḥ, yuṣmān pratyahaṁ nūtanāmājñāṁ likhāmīti nahi kintvāditō yuṣmābhi rlabdhāṁ purātanāmājñāṁ likhāmi| āditō yuṣmābhi ryad vākyaṁ śrutaṁ sā purātanājñā|
Beloved! no new commandment, am I writing unto you; but an old commandment, which ye have been holding from the beginning: The old commandment is the word which ye have heard.
8 punarapi yuṣmān prati nūtanājñā mayā likhyata ētadapi tasmin yuṣmāsu ca satyaṁ, yatō 'ndhakārō vyatyēti satyā jyōtiścēdānīṁ prakāśatē;
Again, a new commandment, am I writing unto you, —which thing is true, in him and in you, because, the darkness, is passing away, and, the real light, already is shining.
9 ahaṁ jyōtiṣi vartta iti gaditvā yaḥ svabhrātaraṁ dvēṣṭi sō 'dyāpi tamisrē varttatē|
He that saith he is, in the light, and hateth, his brother, is, in the darkness, until even now!
10 svabhrātari yaḥ prīyatē sa ēva jyōtiṣi varttatē vighnajanakaṁ kimapi tasmin na vidyatē|
He that loveth his brother, is abiding, in the light, and, cause of stumbling, in him, is there none.
11 kintu svabhrātaraṁ yō dvēṣṭi sa timirē varttatē timirē carati ca timirēṇa ca tasya nayanē 'ndhīkriyētē tasmāt kka yāmīti sa jñātuṁ na śaknōti|
Whereas, he that hateth his brother, in the darkness, dwelleth, and in the darkness, walketh; and knoweth not whither he is drifting, because the, darkness, hath blinded his eyes.
12 hē śiśavaḥ, yūyaṁ tasya nāmnā pāpakṣamāṁ prāptavantastasmād ahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhāmi|
I write unto you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven you, for the sake of his name:
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 write unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye understand 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 unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I have written you, young men, because ye are, strong, and the word of God, within you, abideth, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
15 yūyaṁ saṁsārē saṁsārasthaviṣayēṣu ca mā prīyadhvaṁ yaḥ saṁsārē prīyatē tasyāntarē pituḥ prēma na tiṣṭhati|
Be not loving the world, nor yet the things that are in the world: if anyone be loving the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 yataḥ saṁsārē yadyat sthitam arthataḥ śārīrikabhāvasyābhilāṣō darśanēndriyasyābhilāṣō jīvanasya garvvaśca sarvvamētat pitr̥tō na jāyatē kintu saṁsāradēva|
Because, all that is in the world—the coveting of the flesh, the coveting of the eyes, and the vain grandeur of life—is not of the Father, but is, of the world;
17 saṁsārastadīyābhilāṣaśca vyatyēti kintu ya īśvarasyēṣṭaṁ karōti sō 'nantakālaṁ yāvat tiṣṭhati| (aiōn g165)
And, the world, passeth away, and the coveting [thereof], but, he that doeth the will of God, endureth unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
18 hē bālakāḥ, śēṣakālō'yaṁ, aparaṁ khrīṣṭāriṇōpasthāvyamiti yuṣmābhi ryathā śrutaṁ tathā bahavaḥ khrīṣṭāraya upasthitāstasmādayaṁ śēṣakālō'stīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
Little children! it is, the last hour; and, just as ye have heard that, an antichrist, is coming, even now, antichrists have become, many, whence we perceive that it is, the last hour:
19 tē 'smanmadhyān nirgatavantaḥ kintvasmadīyā nāsan yadyasmadīyā abhaviṣyan tarhyasmatsaṅgē 'sthāsyan, kintu sarvvē 'smadīyā na santyētasya prakāśa āvaśyaka āsīt|
From among us, they went out, but they were not of us; for, if, of us, they had been, they would in that case have abode with us; but [it came to pass] in order that they might be made manifest, because, all, are not of us.
20 yaḥ pavitrastasmād yūyam abhiṣēkaṁ prāptavantastēna sarvvāṇi jānītha|
And, ye, have, an anointing, from the Holy One, —Ye all, know:
21 yūyaṁ satyamataṁ na jānītha tatkāraṇād ahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhitavān tannahi kintu yūyaṁ tat jānītha satyamatācca kimapyanr̥tavākyaṁ nōtpadyatē tatkāraṇādēva|
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because, no falsehood, is, of the truth.
22 yīśurabhiṣiktastrātēti yō nāṅgīkarōti taṁ vinā kō 'parō 'nr̥tavādī bhavēt? sa ēva khrīṣṭāri ryaḥ pitaraṁ putrañca nāṅgīkarōti|
Who, is the False One; —save he that denieth that, Jesus, is the Christ? The same, is the Antichrist, —he that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 yaḥ kaścit putraṁ nāṅgīkarōti sa pitaramapi na dhārayati yaśca putramaṅgīkarōti sa pitaramapi dhārayati|
Whosoever denieth the Son, neither hath he, the Father: He that confesseth the Son, hath, 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, what ye have heard from the beginning, in you, let it abide. If, in you, shall abide, that which, from the beginning, ye have heard, ye also, in the Son, and [in] the Father, shall abide.
And, this, is the promise, which he hath promised unto us, —The age-abiding life. (aiōnios g166)
26 yē janā yuṣmān bhrāmayanti tānadhyaham idaṁ likhitavān|
These things, have I written unto you, concerning them 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|
And, as for you, the anointing which ye have received from him, abideth in you, and ye have, no need, that anyone be teaching you; but, as, his anointing, is teaching you, and is, true, and is no falsehood, even just as it hath taught you, abide ye in him.
28 ataēva hē priyabālakā yūyaṁ tatra tiṣṭhata, tathā sati sa yadā prakāśiṣyatē tadā vayaṁ pratibhānvitā bhaviṣyāmaḥ, tasyāgamanasamayē ca tasya sākṣānna trapiṣyāmahē|
And, now, dear children, abide ye in him, in order that, if he be made manifest, we may have boldness, and not be shamed away from him by his presence.
29 sa dhārmmikō 'stīti yadi yūyaṁ jānītha tarhi yaḥ kaścid dharmmācāraṁ karōti sa tasmāt jāta ityapi jānīta|
If ye know that he is, righteous, ye perceive that—whosoever doeth righteousness, of him, hath been born.
