1 Janez 3
1 Glejte, kakšno vrsto ljubezni nam je podelil Oče, da naj bi bili imenovani Božji sinovi; zato nas svet ne spoznava, ker ni spoznal njega.
See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called [the] children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
2 Ljubljeni, sedaj smo Božji sinovi, ni pa se še pokazalo, kaj bomo; toda vemo, da ko se bo prikazal, bomo podobni njemu, kajti videli ga bomo, kakršen je.
Beloved, now are we children of God, and what we shall be has not yet been manifested; we know that if it is manifested we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
3 In vsak človek, ki ima to upanje vanj, se očiščuje, celó kakor je on čist.
And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
4 Kdorkoli zagreši greh, prestopa tudi postavo, kajti greh je prekršitev postave.
Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
5 In vi veste, da je bil jasno pokazan, da odvzame naše grehe; in v njem ni greha.
And ye know that he has been manifested that he might take away our sins; and in him sin is not.
6 Kdorkoli ostaja v njem, ne greši. Kdorkoli pa greši, ga ni videl niti ga ni spoznal.
Whoever abides in him, does not sin: whoever sins, has not seen him or known him.
7 Majhni otroci, naj vas noben človek ne zavede. Kdor ravna pravično, je pravičen, celó kakor je pravičen on.
Children, let no man lead you astray; he that practises righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 Kdor zagreši greh, je od hudiča, kajti hudič greši od začetka. Zaradi tega namena je bil jasno pokazan Božji Sin, da bi lahko uničil hudičeva dela.
He that practises sin is of the devil; for from [the] beginning the devil sins. To this end the Son of God has been manifested, that he might undo the works of the devil.
9 Kdorkoli je rojen iz Boga, ne stori greha, kajti njegovo seme ostaja v njem; in ne more grešiti, ker je rojen iz Boga.
Whoever has been begotten of God does not practise sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.
10 V tem so prikazani Božji otroci in hudičevi otroci: kdorkoli ne dela pravičnosti, ni od Boga niti kdor ne ljubi svojega brata.
In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the devil. Whoever does not practise righteousness is not of God, and he who does not love his brother.
11 Kajti to je sporočilo, ki ste ga slišali od začetka, da naj ljubimo drug drugega.
For this is the message which ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:
12 Ne kakor Kajn, ki je bil od tega zlobnega in je usmrtil svojega brata. In zakaj ga je usmrtil? Ker so bila njegova lastna dela hudobna, njegovega brata pa pravična.
not as Cain was of the wicked one, and slew his brother; and on account of what slew he him? because his works were wicked, and those of his brother righteous.
13 Ne čudite se, moji bratje, če vas svet sovraži.
Do not wonder, brethren, if the world hate you.
14 Mi vemo, da smo iz smrti prešli v življenje, ker ljubimo brate. Kdor svojega brata ne ljubi, ostaja v smrti.
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love [his] brother abides in death.
15 Kdorkoli sovraži svojega brata, je morilec; in veste, da noben morilec nima večnega življenja, ki [bi] ostajalo v njem. (aiōnios g166)
Every one that hates his brother is a murderer, and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 S tem zaznavamo Božjo ljubezen, ker je svoje življenje dal za nas, in mi moramo svoja življenja dati za brate.
Hereby we have known love, because he has laid down his life for us; and we ought for the brethren to lay down [our] lives.
17 Toda kdorkoli ima dobrine tega sveta in vidi svojega brata v potrebi in pred njim zapre svoja čustva sočutja, kako v njem prebiva Božja ljubezen?
But whoso may have the world's substance, and see his brother having need, and shut up his bowels from him, how abides the love of God in him?
18 Moji majhni otroci, ne ljubimo z besedo niti z jezikom; temveč v dejanju in v resnici.
Children, let us not love with word, nor with tongue, but in deed and in truth.
19 In s tem vemo, da smo iz resnice in bomo svoja srca potrdili pred njim.
And hereby we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall persuade our hearts before him —
20 Kajti če nas naše srce obsoja, je Bog večji kakor naše srce in pozna vse stvari.
that if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
21 Ljubljeni, če nas naše srce ne obsoja, potem imamo zaupanje do Boga.
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness towards God,
22 In karkoli prosimo, od njega prejmemo, ker se ravnamo po njegovih zapovedih in delamo te stvari, ki so všečne v njegovih očeh.
and whatsoever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and practise the things which are pleasing in his sight.
23 In to je njegova zapoved: »Da naj verujemo v ime njegovega Sina Jezusa Kristusa in ljubimo drug drugega, « kakor nam je dal zapoved.
And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and that we love one another, even as he has given us commandment.
24 In kdor se ravna po njegovih zapovedih, prebiva v njem in on v njem. In zaradi tega vemo, da on ostaja v nas, po Duhu, ki nam ga je dal.
And he that keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given to us.
