1 John 3
1 Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
Redziet, kādu lielu mīlestību Tas Tēvs mums ir parādījis, ka mēs topam saukti Dieva bērni. Tāpēc pasaule mūs nepazīst, ka tā Viņu nepazīst.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Mīļie, tagad mēs esam Dieva bērni, un vēl nav atspīdējis, kas mēs būsim; bet mēs zinām, ka, kad Tas atspīdēs, mēs Viņam būsim līdzīgi, jo mēs Viņu redzēsim, kāds Viņš ir.
3 And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Un ikviens, kam šī cerība uz Viņu, šķīsta sevi pašu, tā kā Viņš ir šķīsts.
4 Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Ikviens, kas grēku dara, tas dara arī netaisnību, un grēks ir netaisnība.
5 And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Un jūs zināt, ka Viņš ir parādījies, lai Viņš mūsu grēkus atņemtu, un iekš Viņa nav grēka.
6 Whoever stays in him sins not: whoever sins has not seen him, neither known him.
Ikviens, kas iekš Viņa paliek, tas negrēko; ikviens, kas grēko, Viņu nav redzējis, nedz Viņu atzinis.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Bērniņi, lai neviens jūs nepieviļ: kas taisnību dara, tas ir taisns, tā kā Viņš ir taisns.
8 He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Kas grēku dara, tas ir no velna, jo velns grēko no iesākuma. Tādēļ Dieva Dēls ir atspīdējis, ka Viņš velna darbus izārdītu.
9 Whoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Ikviens, kas no Dieva piedzimis, tas nedara grēku, jo Viņa sēkla paliek iekš tā un tas nevar grēkot, jo tas no Dieva ir piedzimis.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother.
Pie tam top zināmi Dieva bērni un velna bērni. Ikkatrs, kas taisnību nedara, tas nav no Dieva, un kas nemīl savu brāli.
11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Jo šī ir tā sludināšana, ko jūs no iesākuma esat dzirdējuši, lai mēs cits citu mīlējam;
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And why slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
Ne tā kā Kains, kas bija no tā ļaunā un savu brāli nokāva. Un kādēļ viņš to nokāva? Tāpēc ka viņa darbi bija ļauni, bet viņa brāļa darbi taisni.
13 Marvel not, my brothers, if the world hate you.
Nebrīnāties, mani brāļi, ja pasaule jūs ienīst.
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brothers. He that loves not his brother stays in death.
Mēs zinām, ka esam pārcelti no nāves uz dzīvību, tāpēc ka mēs tos brāļus mīlējam; kas nemīl, tas paliek nāvē.
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
Ikviens, kas savu brāli ienīst, tas ir slepkava, un jūs zināt, ka nevienam slepkavam mūžīga dzīvība nav paliekama iekš viņa. (aiōnios g166)
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
Pie tam mēs esam atzinuši mīlestību, ka Viņš Savu dzīvību par mums ir nodevis, un mums arīdzan pienākas dzīvību nodot par tiem brāļiem.
17 But whoever has this world’s good, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God in him?
Bet ja kādam ir šās pasaules manta, un tas redz savu brāli trūkumu ciešam un aizslēdz savu sirdi priekš viņa, kā Dieva mīlestība paliek iekš tāda?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Mani bērniņi, lai mēs nemīlējam ar vārdiem, nedz ar mēli, bet ar darbiem un ar patiesību.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
Un pie tam mēs atzīstam, ka esam no patiesības, un savas sirdis Viņa priekšā varam klusināt,
20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Ka, ja mūsu sirds mūs pazudina, Dievs ir lielāks nekā mūsu sirds un zin visas lietas.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
Mīļie, ja mūsu sirds mūs nepazudina, tad mums ir drošība pie Dieva.
22 And whatever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
Un ko vien mēs lūdzam, to no Viņa dabūjam, jo mēs turam Viņa baušļus un darām, kas Viņa priekšā ir patīkams.
23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
Un šis ir Viņa bauslis, lai mēs ticam Viņa Dēla Jēzus Kristus Vārdam un lai cits citu mīlējam, tā kā Viņš mums bausli ir devis.
24 And he that keeps his commandments dwells in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he stays in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.
Un kas Viņa baušļus tur, tas paliek iekš Viņa un Viņš iekš tā. Un pie tam atzīstam, ka Viņš iekš mums paliek, no Tā Gara, ko Viņš mums devis.
