1 John 3
1 See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world does not know us, because it did not know him.
Inao, ty hara’elahim-pikokoañe nitoloran-dRae, t’ie atao anak’ Andrianañahare! Toe izay ty foto’ tsy ahafohina’ ty voatse toy an-tika, amy t’ie tsy nahafohiñ’ aze.
2 Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.
Ry rañetse, anan’ Añahare tika henaneo, fe mbe tsy nabentatse t’ie ho inoñe. Fe fohin-tika t’ie misodehañ’ eo, le ho hambañe ama’e tika, ie ho onin-tika ami’ty vinta’e.
3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Aa ndra ia ia ty mitamañe zay, le mañalio vatañe, hambañe amy te ie ro malio.
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
Ndra ia ia mitolom-pandilatse ro mañota Hake; toe tahiñe ty fandilarañe Hake.
5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
Fa fohi’ areo t’ie niboake hañaha o hakeon-tikañeo; ie tsy aman-tahiñe.
6 Whoever remains in him does not sin. Whoever sins has not seen him and does not know him.
Tsy mitolon-kakeo ze mimoneñe ama’e ao. Tsy mitolom-pandilatse ze nahaisak’ aze naho mahafohiñ’aze.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
O keleiakoo, asoao tsy ho fañahie’ ondaty. Vantañe ty mpitolon-kavantañañe, hambañe amy te Ie ro vantañe.
8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Mpiamy mpañìnjey ze mandilatse avao, amy te mpandilatse boak’ am-baloha’e i mpañìnjey. Niboake i Anan’ Añaharey handrotsake o sata’ i mpañijeio.
9 Whoever is born of God does not commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Tsy mitolon-kakeo ty nasaman’ Añahare, amy te mimoneñe ama’e ao i doria’ey, vaho tsy hai’e ty mandilatse, amy t’ie nasaman’ Añahare.
10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever does not do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who does not love his brother.
Zao ty mampalange o anan’ Añahareo naho o ana’ i mpañìnjeio: tsy anan’ Añahare ty tsy mpanao havantañañe naho ty tsy mikoko rahalahy.
11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
Inao i entañe jinanji’ areo am-baloha’ey: t’ie hifampikoko,
12 unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
tsy manahak’ i Kaina nimpiamy ratiy, ie namono an-drahalahi’e. Aa ino ty talim-pamonoa’e aze? Ie niraty sata, vaho nivantañe o an-drahalahi’eo.
13 Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
Ko latsa, ry longo, naho malaiñe anahareo ty voatse toy.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love his brother remains in death.
Fohin-tika te, nienga i havilasiy homb’ an-kaveloñe ao tika mpikoko longo. Mimoneñe an-kavilasy ao ty tsy mikoko.
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has consummate (aiōnios g166) life remaining in him.
Ndra ia ia malain-dongo ro mpamono ondaty, le fohi’ areo te tsy imoneñan-kaveloñe nainai’e ty mpañoho-doza. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
Inao ty aharendrehan-tika fikokoañe: toe ie namoe-ay ho an-tika. Aa le hamoe-ay ho an-drolongo ka tika.
17 But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?
Ze manañe ty vara’ ty voatse toy, ie mahaoniñe ty paia’ i longo’ey, naho mampigaben-troke, aia te ho ama’e ty fikokoan’ Añahare.
18 My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
Ry keleiakoo, asoao tsy hikoko an-tsaontsy ndra am-pameleke avao, fa an-tsata naho hatò.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
Inao ty aharendrehan-tika te mpiama’ ty hatò, hampazava troke añatrefa’e eo,
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
ie sisien-troke, jabajaba te amo arofon-tikañeo t’i Andrianañahare, kila arofoana’e.
21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
Ry rañetse, naho tsy mamàtse antika o tron-tikañeo, le mirearea mahafañatreke an’ Andrianañahare,
22 so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
le ndra inoñ’ inoñe ihalalian-tika, ho rambeseñe, amy t’ie mpañambeñe o lili’eo vaho manao ze mahafale am-pivazohoa’e.
23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.
Inao ty lili’e: te atokisan-tika i tahinan’ Ana’e, Iesoà Norizañey, naho hifampikoko, hambañe amy nandilia’ey.
24 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
Mimoneñe ama’e ao ze mpañambeñe o lili’eo, naho ie ro ama’e ao. Le ty ahafohinan-tika te imoneña’e, i Arofo’e natolo’e aman-tikañey.
