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.
Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God; and we are. And on this account the world does not know us, because it did not know him.
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 the children of God, and it is not yet manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he may be made manifest, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.
3 In vsak človek, ki ima to upanje vanj, se očiščuje, celó kakor je on čist.
Indeed every one having this hope on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
4 Kdorkoli zagreši greh, prestopa tudi postavo, kajti greh je prekršitev postave.
Every one doing sin does also a transgression of the law: and sin is the transgression of the law.
5 In vi veste, da je bil jasno pokazan, da odvzame naše grehe; in v njem ni greha.
And you know that he was manifested that he might take away sins; and in him there is no sin.
6 Kdorkoli ostaja v njem, ne greši. Kdorkoli pa greši, ga ni videl niti ga ni spoznal.
No one abiding in him is sinning: every one sinning does not see him, nor know him.
7 Majhni otroci, naj vas noben človek ne zavede. Kdor ravna pravično, je pravičen, celó kakor je pravičen on.
Little children, let no one deceive you. The one doing righteousness is righteous, 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.
The one doing sin is of the devil; because the devil sins from the beginning. Unto this the Son of God was made manifest, that he might destroy 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.
Every one having been born of God does not sin; because his seed remains in him: and he is not able to sin, because he has been born 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 the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: every one not doing righteousness is not of God, and the one not loving his brother with divine love.
11 Kajti to je sporočilo, ki ste ga slišali od začetka, da naj ljubimo drug drugega.
Because this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we must 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 evil one, and slew his brother; and on account of what did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and those of his brother righteous.
13 Ne čudite se, moji bratje, če vas svet sovraži.
And be not astonished, brother, if the world hates 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 out of the death into the life, because we love the brethren with divine love; the one loving not with divine love, abides in the 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 hating his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in himself. (aiōnios g166)
16 S tem zaznavamo Božjo ljubezen, ker je svoje življenje dal za nas, in mi moramo svoja življenja dati za brate.
In this we know the divine love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
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?
Whosoever may have the sustenance of the world, and see his brother having need, and shut up his sympathies from him, how dwells the divine love of God in him?
18 Moji majhni otroci, ne ljubimo z besedo niti z jezikom; temveč v dejanju in v resnici.
Little children, let us love with divine love not in word, nor in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19 In s tem vemo, da smo iz resnice in bomo svoja srca potrdili pred njim.
And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and we shall assure our hearts before him;
20 Kajti če nas naše srce obsoja, je Bog večji kakor naše srce in pozna vse stvari.
because if our heart may condemn us, it is because God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things.
21 Ljubljeni, če nas naše srce ne obsoja, potem imamo zaupanje do Boga.
Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward 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 may ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things pleasing before him.
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 may believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and we may love one another with divine love, as he has given to 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 the one keeping his commandments abides in him, and he in him; and in this we know that he abides in us, he has given us of his Spirit.
