1 Janez 3
1 Glejte, koliko ljubezen nam je dal oče, da se imenujemo otroci Božji. Zato nas svet ne spoznava, ker ni njega spoznal.
BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God! therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Ljubljeni, sedaj smo otroci Božji; in ni se še pokazalo, kaj bodemo; vemo pa, da, kader se pokaže, bodemo njemu enaki, ker ga bodemo videli, kakor je.
Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it is not yet evident what we shall be: but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.
3 In vsak, kdor ima upanje to v njega, posvečuje se, kakor je on svet.
And every one who hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Vsak, kdor dela greh, dela tudi krivico; in greh je krivica.
Every one who committeth sin, committeth also a transgression of the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 In veste, da se je on prikazal, da vzame grehe naše; in greha ni v njem.
And ye know that he was manifested, that he might take away our sins; and in him there is no sin.
6 Vsak, kdor v njem ostane, ne greši; vsak, kdor greši, ni ga videl, in ni ga spoznal.
Every one who abideth in him, doth not sin; every one who sinneth hath not seen him, nor known him.
7 Otročiči, nihče naj vas ne slepi; kdor dela pravico, je pravičen, kakor je on pravičen.
My dear children, let no man deceive you: he who doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous:
8 Kdor dela greh, je iz hudiča; ker hudič greši od začetka. Za to se je prikazal sin Božji, da razdene dela hudičeva.
he that practises sin is of the devil; for from the beginning the devil sinneth. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Vsak, kdor je rojen iz Boga, ne dela greha, ker seme njegovo ostaja v njem; in grešiti ne more, ker je rojen iz Boga.
Every one who is born of God, doth not practise sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 V tem so očitni otroci Božji in otroci hudičevi. Vsak, kdor ne dela pravice, ni iz Boga, in kdor ne ljubi brata svojega.
By this the children of God are manifestly seen, and the children of the devil. Every one that doth not practise righteousness, is not of God, and he that loveth not his brother.
11 Kajti to je oznanilo, katero ste slišali od začetka, da se ljubímo med seboj;
For this is the commandment which ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12 Ne kakor je bil Kajn iz hudobnega in je ubil brata svojega; in za kaj ga je ubil? Ker so bila hudobna dela njegova, dela pa brata njegovega pravična.
Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and slew his brother: and wherefore did he slay him? Because his own works were wicked, and those of his brother righteous.
13 Ne čudite se, bratje moji, če vas svet sovraži.
Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 Mi vemo, da smo prešli iz smrti v življenje, ker ljubimo brate; kdor ne ljubi brata, ostaja v smrti.
We know that we are passed out of a state of death into life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15 Vsak, kdor sovraži brata svojega, je ljudomorec; in veste, da noben ljudomorec nima večnega življenja, ki bi ostalo v njem. (aiōnios g166)
Every one who hateth his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer hath life eternal abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 V tem smo spoznali ljubezen, da je on dal dušo svojo za nas; tudi mi moramo dati duše za brate.
By this we have known the love of Christ, because for us he laid down his own life: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 Kdor pa ima živež sveta, in gleda brata svojega, ki ima potrebo, in zapre osrčje svoje pred njim, kako ostane ljubezen Božja v njem?
But whosoever hath worldly abundance, and seeth his brother under necessity, and shutteth his bowels of compassion against him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 Otročiči moji, ne ljubimo z besedo, ne z jezikom, nego v dejanji in resnici.
My dear children, let us not love in word and in tongue, but in deed and in truth;
19 In v tem spoznavamo, da smo iz resnice, in pred njim bodemo pregovorili srca svoja;
and hereby we know that we are of the truth, and in his presence have this persuasion in our hearts.
20 Kajti če nas srce obsoja, ker je Bog večji od srca našega, pozna tudi vse.
For should our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Ljubljeni, če nas srce naše ne obsoja, imamo zaupanje do Boga,
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have confidence towards God.
22 In karkoli prosimo, dobimo od njega, ker držimo zapovedi njegove, in delamo, kar mu je po volji.
And whatsoever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are pleasing in his sight.
23 In ta je zapoved njegova, da verujmo v ime sina njegovega, Jezusa Kristusa, in ljubimo se med seboj, kakor nam je dal zapoved.
And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 In kdor drži zapovedi njegove, ostane v njem, in on v njem. In v tem spoznavamo, da ostaja v nas, iz Duha, katerega nam je dal.
And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him; and by this we know that he abideth in us, from the Spirit which he hath given us.
