Jāņa 1. Vēstule 2
1 Mani bērniņi, to es jums rakstu, lai jūs negrēkojiet; un ja kas grēko, tad mums ir aizbildinātājs pie Tā Tēva, Jēzus Kristus, tas taisnais.
My children, I am writing to you to keep you from sinning. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the righteous.
2 Un Viņš ir tā salīdzināšana par mūsu grēkiem, un ne vien par mūsu, bet arī par visas pasaules grēkiem.
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
3 Un pie tam mēs nomanam, ka Viņu esam atzinuši, ja Viņa baušļus turam.
It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
4 Kas saka: es Viņu pazīstu, un netur Viņa baušļus, tas ir melkulis, un patiesības nav iekš tā.
Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
5 Bet ja kas Viņa vārdu tur, iekš tā patiesi Dieva mīlestība ir pilnīga; pie tam mēs atzīstam, ka esam iekš Viņa.
But the person who keeps God’s word, in them the love of God has indeed reached its perfection. This is how we can be sure we are in him:
6 Kas teicās iekš Viņa paliekot, tam pienākas pašam arīdzan tāpat staigāt, kā Viņš ir staigājis.
whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
7 Brāļi, es jums nerakstu jaunu bausli, bet vecu bausli, kas jums ir bijis no iesākuma. Šis vecais bauslis ir tas vārds, ko jūs no iesākuma esat dzirdējuši.
Dear friends, it is no new command that I am writing to you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. That old command is the message you have already heard.
8 Atkal jaunu bausli es jums rakstu, kas ir patiesība iekš Viņa un iekš jums: jo tumsība paiet un patiesā gaisma tagad spīd.
Yet, in a way, it is a new command that I am writing to you – which is shown true in Christ’s life and in yours – for the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
9 Kas teicās esot gaismā un ienīst savu brāli, tas vēl ir tumsībā.
The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
10 Kas savu brāli mīl, tas paliek gaismā, un iekš tā nav piedauzīšanās.
The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
11 Kas savu brāli ienīst, tas ir tumsībā un staigā tumsībā un nezina, kurp tas iet, jo tumsība viņa acis ir aptumšojusi.
The person who hates is in the dark. They stumble along in the darkness; they do not know where they are going because the darkness blinds them.
12 Es jums rakstu, bērniņi, jo grēki jums top piedoti Viņa Vārda dēļ.
Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
13 Es jums rakstu, tēvi, jo jūs To esat atzinuši, kas ir no iesākuma. Es jums rakstu, jaunekļi, jo jūs to ļauno esat uzvarējuši. Es jums esmu rakstījis, bērni, jo jūs To Tēvu esat atzinuši.
Parents, I am writing to you because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I am writing to you because you have conquered the evil one. Children, I write to you because you have come to know the Father.
14 Es jums esmu rakstījis, tēvi, jo jūs To esat atzinuši, kas ir no iesākuma. Es jums esmu rakstījis, jaunekļi, jo jūs esat spēcīgi, un Dieva vārds paliek iekš jums, un jūs to ļauno esat uzvarējuši.
Parents, I write to you because you have learned to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I write to you because you are strong, and God’s message is always in your hearts, and you have conquered the evil one.
15 Nemīlējiet pasauli nedz to, kas ir pasaulē; jo kas pasauli mīl, iekš tā nav Tā Tēva mīlestība.
Do not love the world or what the world can offer. When anyone loves the world, there is no love for the Father in them.
16 Jo viss, kas ir pasaulē: miesas kārība, acu kārība un dzīves lepnība - tas nav no Tā Tēva, bet no pasaules.
For all that the world can offer – the desires for physical pleasure, the enticements to the eye, the arrogance of wealth – belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.
And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Bērniņi, nu ir tā pēdīgā stunda; un tā, kā jūs esat dzirdējuši, ka tas pretī-kristus nāk, tā arī tagad daudz pretī-kristi cēlušies, no tā mēs zinām pēdējo stundu esam.
My children, it is the last hour. You were told that an antichrist was coming; and many antichrists have already arisen. This is why we know that this is the last hour.
19 Tie no mums ir izgājuši, bet tie nebija no mums; jo ja tie būtu bijuši no mums, tad tie būtu palikuši pie mums, bet tiem bija parādīties, ka tie nav visi no mums.
These people come from our ranks, but they were never truly part of us – if they had been then they would have stayed with us. They left so it would be clear that none of them really belonged to us.
20 Tomēr jums ir tā svaidīšana no Tā Svētā, un jūs visu zināt.
You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
21 Es jums neesmu rakstījis, tā kā jūs nezinātu patiesību, bet ka jūs to jau zināt, un ka no patiesības nenāk nekādi meli.
I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie can come from the truth.
22 Kas ir tas melkulis, ja ne tas, kas liedz, ka Jēzus ir Tas Kristus? Tas ir tas pretī-kristus, kas liedz To Tēvu un To Dēlu.
Who is a liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? That person is the antichrist – one who rejects the Father and the Son.
23 Ikvienam, kas To Dēlu liedz, tam arī nav Tā Tēva.
No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
24 Tad nu, ko jūs esat dzirdējuši no iesākuma, tas lai paliek iekš jums; ja iekš jums paliek, ko no iesākuma esat dzirdējuši, tad arī jūs paliksiet iekš Tā Dēla un Tā Tēva.
As for you, you must let what you have heard from the beginning continue to live in you. If what you heard from the beginning dwells in you, you will remain both in the Son and the Father.
And this is what he himself promised us – eternal life! (aiōnios g166)
26 To es jums esmu rakstījis par tiem, kas jūs pieviļ.
In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
27 Un tā svaidīšana, ko jūs no Viņa esat dabūjuši, paliek iekš jums, un jums nevajag, ka kāds jūs māca; bet tā kā šī pati svaidīšana jūs māca visās lietās, tā viņa arīdzan ir patiesīga un nav meli. Un, kā tā jūs ir mācījusi, tā paliekat iekš Viņa.
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains with you. You do not need anyone to teach you. His anointing teaches you about everything. What it teaches you is true, it is not a lie. Do what it has taught you: abide in him.
28 Un nu, bērniņi, paliekat iekš Viņa; lai, kad Viņš parādīsies, mums ir drošība un mēs no Viņa netopam kaunā likti Viņa atnākšanā.
Yes, my children, remain in him, so that when he appears our confidence doesn’t fail us, and we are not ashamed to meet him at his coming.
29 Ja jūs zināt, ka Viņš ir taisns, tad zināt, ka ikviens, kas taisnību dara, no Viņa ir piedzimis.
Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
