Johane I 3

1 Bonang ka fa Rraarona wa legodimo a re ratang ka teng, gonne o re letla go bidiwa bana ba gagwe, akanyang ka gone, re bana ba gagwe tota! Mme ka batho ba le bantsi ba sa itse Modimo, ka tlholego ga ba tlhaloganye gore re bana ba One.

paśyata vayam īśvarasya santānā iti nāmnākhyāmahē, ētēna pitāsmabhyaṁ kīdr̥k mahāprēma pradattavān, kintu saṁsārastaṁ nājānāt tatkāraṇādasmān api na jānāti|

2 Ee, ditsala tse di rategang, re setse re le bana ba Modimo gone jaanong jaana, ebile ga re kake ra akanyetsa gore go tlaa nna jang kwa morago. Mme re itse se, gore fa a tla re tshwana nae, gonne re tlaa mmona fela jaaka a ntse.

hē priyatamāḥ, idānīṁ vayam īśvarasya santānā āsmahē paścāt kiṁ bhaviṣyāmastad adyāpyaprakāśitaṁ kintu prakāśaṁ gatē vayaṁ tasya sadr̥śā bhaviṣyāmi iti jānīmaḥ, yataḥ sa yādr̥śō 'sti tādr̥śō 'smābhirdarśiṣyatē|

3 Mme mongwe le mongwe yo o dumelang se, ka botlalo, o tlaa leka go nna phepa gonne Keresete o phepa.

tasmin ēṣā pratyāśā yasya kasyacid bhavati sa svaṁ tathā pavitraṁ karōti yathā sa pavitrō 'sti|

4 Mme ba ba tswelelang ka go leofa ba kgatlhanong le Modimo, gonne sebe sengwe le sengwe se dirwa kgatlhanong le keletso ya Modimo.

yaḥ kaścit pāpam ācarati sa vyavasthālaṅghanaṁ karōti yataḥ pāpamēva vyavasthālaṅghanaṁ|

5 Ebile lo itse gore o ne a nna motho gore a tle a tlose dibe tsa rona, le gore ga gona boleo mo go ene, thato ya Modimo ga e ke e tlhokafala mo go ene.

aparaṁ sō 'smākaṁ pāpānyapaharttuṁ prākāśataitad yūyaṁ jānītha, pāpañca tasmin na vidyatē|

6 Mme jalo fa re nna mo go ene re mo obamela, re tlaa bo re sa leofe ka tsela epe; mme kaga ba ba tswelelang ba leofa, ba tshwanetse go lemoga se: gore ba leofa ka ntlha ya gore ga ba ise ba ke ba bo ba mo itse kgotsa ba nne ba gagwe.

yaḥ kaścit tasmin tiṣṭhati sa pāpācāraṁ na karōti yaḥ kaścit pāpācāraṁ karōti sa taṁ na dr̥ṣṭavān na vāvagatavān|

7 Ao bana ba me ba ba rategang, se letleng ope go lo tsietsa kaga se: fa lo dira se se molemo ka malatsi otlhe, ke ka ntlha ya gore lo molemo, fela jaaka a ntse.

hē priyabālakāḥ, kaścid yuṣmākaṁ bhramaṁ na janayēt, yaḥ kaścid dharmmācāraṁ karōti sa tādr̥g dhārmmikō bhavati yādr̥k sa dhāmmikō 'sti|

8 Mme fa lo tswelela lo leofa, go supa gore lo ba ga Satane, yo o saleng e re a simolola go leofa a bo a nna fela mo boleong. Mme Morwa Modimo o tletse go senya tsone ditiro tse tsa ga diabolo.

yaḥ pāpācāraṁ karōti sa śayatānāt jātō yataḥ śayatāna āditaḥ pāpācārī śayatānasya karmmaṇāṁ lōpārthamēvēśvarasya putraḥ prākāśata|

9 Motho yo o tsaletsweng mo go ba ntlo ya Modimo ga a leofe, gonne jaanong botshelo jwa Modimo bo mo go ene: jalo ga a kake a nna a tswelela ka go leofa, gonne botshelo jo bosha bo tsetswe mo go ene ebile bo a mo laola, o tsetswe sesha.

yaḥ kaścid īśvarāt jātaḥ sa pāpācāraṁ na karōti yatastasya vīryyaṁ tasmin tiṣṭhati pāpācāraṁ karttuñca na śaknōti yataḥ sa īśvarāt jātaḥ|

10 Jaanong re ka bolela gore ngwana wa Modimo ke ofe le gore yo e leng wa ga Satane ke ofe. Le fa e le mang yo o tshelang botshelo jwa sebe ebile a sa rate mogagabo o supa gore ga se wa ba ntlo ya Modimo;

ityanēnēśvarasya santānāḥ śayatānasya ca santānā vyaktā bhavanti| yaḥ kaścid dharmmācāraṁ na karōti sa īśvarāt jātō nahi yaśca svabhrātari na prīyatē sō 'pīśvarāt jātō nahi|

11 gonne molaetsa o o tsileng mo go rona go tswa tshimologong wa re re ratane.

yatastasya ya ādēśa āditō yuṣmābhiḥ śrutaḥ sa ēṣa ēva yad asmābhiḥ parasparaṁ prēma karttavyaṁ|

12 Ga re a tshwanela go nna jaaka Kaene, yo a neng a nna wa ga Satane a bo a bolaya monnawe? O mmolaetse eng? Ke ka ntlha ya gore Kaene o ne a ntse a dira bosula ebile a itse sentle gore botshelo jwa ga monnawe bo botoka go na le jwa gagwe.

pāpātmatō jātō yaḥ kābil svabhrātaraṁ hatavān tatsadr̥śairasmābhi rna bhavitavyaṁ| sa kasmāt kāraṇāt taṁ hatavān? tasya karmmāṇi duṣṭāni tadbhrātuśca karmmāṇi dharmmāṇyāsan iti kāraṇāt|

13 Ke gone se hakgamaleng ditsala tse di rategang fa lefatshe le lo ila.

hē mama bhrātaraḥ, saṁsārō yadi yuṣmān dvēṣṭi tarhi tad āścaryyaṁ na manyadhvaṁ|

14 Fa re rata Bakeresete ba bangwe, go supa gore re golotswe mo moleteng re filwe botshelo ja bo sa khutleng. Mme motho yo o senang lorato mo go ba bangwe o emetswe ke loso lo lo kwa pele.

vayaṁ mr̥tyum uttīryya jīvanaṁ prāptavantastad bhrātr̥ṣu prēmakaraṇāt jānīmaḥ| bhrātari yō na prīyatē sa mr̥tyau tiṣṭhati|

15 Le fa e le mang yo o ilang Mokeresete ka ene ke mmolai tota mo pelong; mme lo itse gore ga go na mmolai ope yo botshelo ja bosakhutleng bo leng mo go ene. (aiōnios g166)

yaḥ kaścit svabhrātaraṁ dvēṣṭi saṁ naraghātī kiñcānantajīvanaṁ naraghātinaḥ kasyāpyantarē nāvatiṣṭhatē tad yūyaṁ jānītha| (aiōnios g166)

16 Re itse gore lorato lwa boammaaruri ke eng ka go tsaya malebela mo go re sweleng ga ga Keresete e le sesupo. Mme le rona re tshwanetse go ntshetsa ba ga rona ba Bakeresetse matshelo a rona setlhabelo.

asmākaṁ kr̥tē sa svaprāṇāṁstyaktavān ityanēna vayaṁ prēmnastattvam avagatāḥ, aparaṁ bhrātr̥ṇāṁ kr̥tē 'smābhirapi prāṇāstyaktavyāḥ|

17 Mme fa mongwe yo o tshwanetseng go bo e le Mokeresete tota a na le madi a a lekanyeng gore a mo tshedise sentle, go bo go diragala gore a bone mogagabo yo o tlhokang, mme a bo a sa mo thuse, lorato lwa Modimo lo ka nna jang mo go ene.

sāṁsārikajīvikāprāptō yō janaḥ svabhrātaraṁ dīnaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā tasmāt svīyadayāṁ ruṇaddhi tasyāntara īśvarasya prēma kathaṁ tiṣṭhēt?

18 Bananyana, re khutliseng go nna re bua puo ya molomo fela re re re rata batho; a re ba rateng ka boammaaruri, re bo re go supe ka ditiro tsa rona.

hē mama priyabālakāḥ, vākyēna jihvayā vāsmābhiḥ prēma na karttavyaṁ kintu kāryyēṇa satyatayā caiva|

19 Hong re tlaa itse tota ka ditiro tsa rona gore re ka fa lotlhakoreng lwa Modimo, le matswalo a rona a tlaa sedimosega, le fa re ema fa pele ga Morena.

ētēna vayaṁ yat satyamatasambandhīyāstat jānīmastasya sākṣāt svāntaḥkaraṇāni sāntvayituṁ śakṣyāmaśca|

20 Mme fa re na le matswalo a a sa siamang re bo re ikutlwa gore re dirile molato, Morena o tlaa ikutlwa fela jalo ka rona gonne o itse sengwe le sengwe se re se dirang.

yatō 'smadantaḥkaraṇaṁ yadyasmān dūṣayati tarhyasmadantaḥ karaṇād īśvarō mahān sarvvajñaśca|

21 Mme ditsala tse di rategang, fa matswalo a rona a siame, re ka tla kwa Moreneng ka go tlhomamisa le go ikanya,

hē priyatamāḥ, asmadantaḥkaraṇaṁ yadyasmān na dūṣayati tarhi vayam īśvarasya sākṣāt pratibhānvitā bhavāmaḥ|

22 gore re amogele sengwe le sengwe se re se lopang gonne re a mo obamela ebile re dira dilo tse di mo itumedisang.

yacca prārthayāmahē tat tasmāt prāpnumaḥ, yatō vayaṁ tasyājñāḥ pālayāmastasya sākṣāt tuṣṭijanakam ācāraṁ kurmmaśca|

23 Mme se ke sone se Modimo o reng re se dire: re dumele mo leineng la Morwaone Jesu Keresete, re bo re ratane.

aparaṁ tasyēyamājñā yad vayaṁ putrasya yīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmni viśvasimastasyājñānusārēṇa ca parasparaṁ prēma kurmmaḥ|

24 Ba ba dirang se Modimo o se buang, ba nna le Modimo mme le One o nna nabo, re itse gore se ke boammaaruri gonne Mowa O O Boitshepo o o o re neileng o re bolelela jalo.

yaśca tasyājñāḥ pālayati sa tasmin tiṣṭhati tasmin sō'pi tiṣṭhati; sa cāsmān yam ātmānaṁ dattavān tasmāt sō 'smāsu tiṣṭhatīti jānīmaḥ|
