1 yōhanaḥ 5
1 yīśurabhiṣiktastrātēti yaḥ kaścid viśvāsiti sa īśvarāt jātaḥ; aparaṁ yaḥ kaścit janayitari prīyatē sa tasmāt jātē janē 'pi prīyatē|
Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ hath been born of God; and every one that loveth him that begat, loveth also him that hath been begotten of him.
2 vayam īśvarasya santānēṣu prīyāmahē tad anēna jānīmō yad īśvarē prīyāmahē tasyājñāḥ pālayāmaśca|
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do his commandments.
3 yata īśvarē yat prēma tat tadīyājñāpālanēnāsmābhiḥ prakāśayitavyaṁ, tasyājñāśca kaṭhōrā na bhavanti|
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not burdensome,
4 yatō yaḥ kaścid īśvarāt jātaḥ sa saṁsāraṁ jayati kiñcāsmākaṁ yō viśvāsaḥ sa ēvāsmākaṁ saṁsārajayijayaḥ|
because whatever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith.
5 yīśurīśvarasya putra iti yō viśvasiti taṁ vinā kō'paraḥ saṁsāraṁ jayati?
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 sō'bhiṣiktastrātā yīśustōyarudhirābhyām āgataḥ kēvalaṁ tōyēna nahi kintu tōyarudhirābhyām, ātmā ca sākṣī bhavati yata ātmā satyatāsvarūpaḥ|
This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood; and the Spirit is that which beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 yatō hētōḥ svargē pitā vādaḥ pavitra ātmā ca traya imē sākṣiṇaḥ santi, traya imē caikō bhavanti|
8 tathā pr̥thivyām ātmā tōyaṁ rudhirañca trīṇyētāni sākṣyaṁ dadāti tēṣāṁ trayāṇām ēkatvaṁ bhavati ca|
For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one.
9 mānavānāṁ sākṣyaṁ yadyasmābhi rgr̥hyatē tarhīśvarasya sākṣyaṁ tasmādapi śrēṣṭhaṁ yataḥ svaputramadhīśvarēṇa dattaṁ sākṣyamidaṁ|
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son.
10 īśvarasya putrē yō viśvāsiti sa nijāntarē tat sākṣyaṁ dhārayati; īśvarē yō na viśvasiti sa tam anr̥tavādinaṁ karōti yata īśvaraḥ svaputramadhi yat sākṣyaṁ dattavān tasmin sa na viśvasiti|
He that believeth in the Son of God hath the witness within him; he that believeth not God hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed in the witness which God hath borne concerning his Son.
11 tacca sākṣyamidaṁ yad īśvarō 'smabhyam anantajīvanaṁ dattavān tacca jīvanaṁ tasya putrē vidyatē| (aiōnios g166)
And this is the witness, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 yaḥ putraṁ dhārayati sa jīvanaṁ dhāriyati, īśvarasya putraṁ yō na dhārayati sa jīvanaṁ na dhārayati|
He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.
13 īśvaraputrasya nāmni yuṣmān pratyētāni mayā likhitāni tasyābhiprāyō 'yaṁ yad yūyam anantajīvanaprāptā iti jānīyāta tasyēśvaraputrasya nāmni viśvasēta ca| (aiōnios g166)
These things have I written to you, that ye may know that ye who believe in the name of the Son of God have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
14 tasyāntikē 'smākaṁ yā pratibhā bhavati tasyāḥ kāraṇamidaṁ yad vayaṁ yadi tasyābhimataṁ kimapi taṁ yācāmahē tarhi sō 'smākaṁ vākyaṁ śr̥ṇōti|
And this is the confidence which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us;
15 sa cāsmākaṁ yat kiñcana yācanaṁ śr̥ṇōtīti yadi jānīmastarhi tasmād yācitā varā asmābhiḥ prāpyantē tadapi jānīmaḥ|
and if we know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked of him.
16 kaścid yadi svabhrātaram amr̥tyujanakaṁ pāpaṁ kurvvantaṁ paśyati tarhi sa prārthanāṁ karōtu tēnēśvarastasmai jīvanaṁ dāsyati, arthatō mr̥tyujanakaṁ pāpaṁ yēna nākāritasmai| kintu mr̥tyujanakam ēkaṁ pāpam āstē tadadhi tēna prārthanā kriyatāmityahaṁ na vadāmi|
If any one see his brother sin a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and shall give him life, —to those who sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death; for that I do not say that he shall pray.
17 sarvva ēvādharmmaḥ pāpaṁ kintu sarvvapāṁpa mr̥tyujanakaṁ nahi|
All unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not unto death.
18 ya īśvarāt jātaḥ sa pāpācāraṁ na karōti kintvīśvarāt jātō janaḥ svaṁ rakṣati tasmāt sa pāpātmā taṁ na spr̥śatīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
We know that whoever hath been born of God sinneth not; but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the Evil One toucheth him not.
19 vayam īśvarāt jātāḥ kintu kr̥tsnaḥ saṁsāraḥ pāpātmanō vaśaṁ gatō 'stīti jānīmaḥ|
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth under the dominion of the Evil One.
20 aparam īśvarasya putra āgatavān vayañca yayā tasya satyamayasya jñānaṁ prāpnuyāmastādr̥śīṁ dhiyam asmabhyaṁ dattavān iti jānīmastasmin satyamayē 'rthatastasya putrē yīśukhrīṣṭē tiṣṭhāmaśca; sa ēva satyamaya īśvarō 'nantajīvanasvarūpaścāsti| (aiōnios g166)
And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know the True One; and we are in the True One, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
21 hē priyabālakāḥ, yūyaṁ dēvamūrttibhyaḥ svān rakṣata| āmēn|
My children, keep yourselves from idols.
