< 1 Janez 2 >
1 Otročiči moji, to vam pišem, da ne grešite, in če kdo greši, imamo odvetnika pri očetu, Jezusa Kristusa pravičnega;
MY dear children, these things I write to you, that ye should not sin. And if any of us sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 In on je sprava za grehe naše; ne pa samo za naše, nego tudi za ves svet.
and he himself is the propitiatory victim for our sins: and indeed not for ours only, but for the whole world.
3 In v tem spoznavamo, da smo ga spoznali, ako držimo zapovedi njegove.
And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Kdor pravi: "Spoznal sem ga, in ne drži zapovedi njegovih, lažnik je in v njem ni resnice;
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and in him the truth is not.
5 Kdor pa drži besedo njegovo, v njem se je resnično popolnila ljubezen Božja. V tem spoznavamo, da smo v njem.
But whosoever keepeth his word, verily in him is the love of God perfected: by this we know that we are in him.
6 Kdor pravi, da v njem ostaja, mora, kakor je on živel, tudi tako živeti.
He who saith that he abideth in him, ought as he walked, even so himself to walk.
7 Bratje, ne pišem vam nove zapovedi, nego zapoved staro, katero ste imeli od začetka; zapoved stara je beseda, katero ste slišali od začetka.
Brethren, I write not a new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
8 Zopet vam pišem novo zapoved, kar je resnično v njem in v vas; ker tema izgine in luč resnična že sveti.
Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which is a true thing in him, and in you, because the darkness is past, and the true light is now shining.
9 Kdor pravi, da je v luči, in sovraži brata svojega, v temi je do sedaj.
He who saith, that he is in the light, yet hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 Kdor ljubi brata svojega, ostaja v luči in pohujšanja ni v njem.
He that loveth his brother is in the light, and occasion of stumbling in him there is none.
11 Kdor pa sovraži brata svojega, v temi je, in po temi hodi in ne vé, kam gré, ker tema je oslepila oči njegove.
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he is departing, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 Pišem vam, otročiči, ker so vam grehi odpuščeni po imenu njegovem.
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 Pišem vam, očetje, ker ste spoznali njega, ki je od začetka. Pišem vam, mladeniči, ker ste premagali hudobnega. Pišem vam, otročiči, ker ste spoznali očeta.
I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14 Pisal sem vam, očetje, ker ste spoznali njega, ki je od začetka. Pisal sem vam, mladeniči, ker ste krepki, in beseda Božja ostaja v vas, in premagali ste hudobnega.
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him, who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
15 Ne ljubite sveta, ne kar je na svetu. Če kdo ljubi svet, ni ljubezni očetove v njem;
Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 Ker vse, kar je na svetu, poželenje mesa, in poželenje očî, in življenja napuh, ni iz očeta, nego iz sveta je.
For every thing which is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pomp of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 In svet izgine in poželenje njegovo; kdor pa dela voljo Božjo, ostane vekomaj. (aiōn )
And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof, but he who doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn )
18 Otročiči, skrajna ura je, in kakor ste slišali, da protikrist se bliža, vstali so sedaj mnogi protikristi;
My dear children, it is the last hour; and as ye have heard that antichrist is coming, even now there are many antichrists: by which we know it is the last hour.
19 Odtod spoznavamo, da je skrajna ura. Iz nas so izšli, ali niso bili iz nas; kajti ako bi bili iz nas, ostali bi bili z nami; ali izkazati se je moralo, da niso vsi iz nas.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they departed, that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us:
20 In vi imate mazilo od svetega, in veste vse.
though ye have an unction from the Holy One, and know all things.
21 Nisem vam pisal, ker ne znate resnice, nego ker jo znate, in da ni nobena laž iz resnice.
I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Kdo je lažnik, če ne kdor tají, da Jezus je Kristus? Ta je protikrist, kateri tají očeta in sina.
Who is the liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? This man is the antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Vsak, kateri tají sina, tudi očeta nima.
Every one that denieth the Son, neither doth he hold the Father; but he that acknowledgeth the Son, holdeth the Father also.
24 Vi torej, kar ste slišali od začetka, ostane naj v vas. Če ostane v vas, kar ste slišali od začetka, ostali bodete tudi vi v sinu in v očetu.
Let that abide in you therefore which ye have heard from the beginning. If that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
25 In ta je obljuba, katero nam je on obljubil, večno življenje. (aiōnios )
And this is the promise which he hath promised to us, even life eternal. (aiōnios )
26 To sem vam pisal za tiste, ki vas slepé.
These things have I written unto you concerning those who are leading you astray.
27 In vi, mazilo, katero ste prejeli od njega, ostane v vas, in treba ni, da bi vas kdo učil; nego kakor vas isto mazilo uči vsega, in je resnično, in ni laž; in kakor vas je učilo, ostanete v njem.
But the unction which ye have received from him abideth in you; and ye need not that any person should instruct you. But as the same unction teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie; and as it hath taught you, abide in him.
28 In sedaj, otročiči, ostanite v njem, da, kader se prikaže, imamo zaupanje, in se ne osramotimo pred njim o prihodu njegovem.
And now, my dear children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be put to shame by him at his coming.
29 Ako veste, da je pravičen, spoznajte, da je vsak, kateri dela pravico, iz njega rojen.
If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is born of him.
