< 1 John 3 >

1 Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God l For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Sobꞌa hei dudꞌuꞌa Amaꞌ sia sorga susuen neu nggita! Huu susuen naa manaseliꞌ, losa Ana soꞌu nggita dadꞌi Eni ana nara. Naa tebꞌe! Te atahori mana rasodꞌa tungga raefafoꞌ ia hihii-nanaun, nda rahine hita ia seka sa boe, huu nda rahine Lamatualain sa.
2 Beloved, now are we children of God, and it hath not yet been manifested what we shall be. We know that, when it shall be manifested, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.
Ana susue ngga re! Hita dadꞌi Lamatualain ana nara ena, te nda feꞌe bubꞌuluꞌ dei fo hita dadꞌi taꞌo bee sa boe. Akaꞌ na hita bubꞌuluꞌ, taꞌo ia: mete ma Kristus baliꞌ nema, hita dadꞌi onaꞌ E boe, huu tita E relo-relo.
3 And every one that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.
Basa atahori mana rahani Kristus neneman, tantu ara tao ramemeu masodꞌa nara, fo rasodꞌa meumareꞌ onaꞌ Kristus boe.
4 Whoever committeth sin transgresseth thereby the law; for sin is a transgression of the law.
Basa sala-kiluꞌ ra ralena-langga Lamatuaꞌ parendan. Naa de basa atahori mana tao salaꞌ ra ralena-langga Lamatualain parendan ena, ma labꞌan Lamatuaꞌ boe.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.
Hei bubꞌuluꞌ mae, Kristus dadꞌi atahori fo fee ambon neu sala-kiluꞌ ra. Ana bisa tao taꞌo naa, huu Eni nda mana tao salaꞌ sa.
6 Whoever abideth in him sinneth not; whoever sinneth hath not seen him, nor known him.
Dadꞌi atahori fo masodꞌan naꞌabꞌue nakandoo no E, nasodꞌa nda tao salaꞌ sa ena. Te mete ma atahori sa nasodꞌa taoꞌ a salaꞌ nakandooꞌ a, eni sosoan nae, ana nda nahine ma nda naꞌabꞌue no Kristus sa.
7 My children, let no one deceive you; he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Ana susue ngga re! Afiꞌ losa hei neneꞌediꞌ nalaꞌ. Te atahori mana nasodꞌa tungga saa fo ndoo-tetuꞌ a, naa eni, atahori rala ndoos, onaꞌ Kristus boe.
8 He that committeth sin is of the Devil; for the Devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil.
Te atahori mana nasodꞌa tao salaꞌ, eni naꞌoka sia nitu deꞌulakaꞌ ra malanggan. Huu eni mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ mia fefeun. Naa de Lamatuaꞌ Anan nema tao nalutu nitu a tatao-nonoꞌi deꞌulakan naa.
9 Whoever hath been born of God doth not commit sin, because his seed abideth in him; and he cannot sin, because he hath been born of God.
Atahori mana dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ anan, nda tao salaꞌ sa ena, huu Lamatuaꞌ leo sia aon rala. Ana nda bisa tao salaꞌ nakandooꞌ a sa, huu eni naꞌoka sia Lamatuaꞌ.
10 In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the Devil. Whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, and he that loveth not his brother.
No taꞌo naa, hita bisa bubꞌuluꞌ seka naꞌoka sia Lamatualain, ma seka naꞌoka sia nitu ra malanggan. Huu atahori nda mana tao tungga ndoo-tetuꞌ a sa, ma atahori nda mana sue nahine toronoon sa, naa dadꞌi bukti oi, eni nda naꞌoka sia Lamatualain sa.
11 For this is the message that ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;
Mia lele uluꞌ a, hei rena memaꞌ hehelu-fufuliꞌ ia, mana oi, “Esa sue-lai esa!”
12 not as Cain was of the Evil One, and slew his brother. And wherefore did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
Feꞌe misinedꞌa Kaen no Habel dudꞌuit na, to? Naa, afiꞌ tao tungga Kaen, te ana naꞌoka sia deꞌulaka manaseliꞌ a, sambe tao nisa odꞌin Habel. Saa de ana tao taꞌo naa? Naa, huu eni tao dala deꞌulakaꞌ ra, te odin tao dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a.
13 Wonder not, brethren, if the world hateth you.
Toronoo ngga re! Afiꞌ heran mete ma atahori mana tungga raefafoꞌ ia hihii-nanaun ra, mburu-oeꞌ ro nggi.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren; he that loveth not abideth in death.
Hai bubꞌuluꞌ ena oi, mete ma atahori mana tao salaꞌ ra mate, na, ara saranggaa mia Lamatualain. Te huu hita sue toronoo tara, naa dadꞌi bukti oi, mete ma hita mate, na, hita tasodꞌa takandoo to Lamatuaꞌ. Te mete ma basa atahori nda mana raꞌena susueꞌ sa mate, na, ara saranggaa mia Lamatuaꞌ.
15 Whoever hateth his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer hath everlasting life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
Huu atahori mana mburu-oeꞌ ro toronoon, eni onaꞌ atahori mana tao nisa atahori. Naa, hei bubꞌuluꞌ ena mae, atahori mataꞌ naa nda hambu nasodꞌa nakandoo no Lamatualain sa. (aiōnios g166)
16 Herein we know love, in that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Hita bisa tahine susue matetuꞌ mia Kristus conto na. Huu Ana sue nggita, losa Ana fee Aon de mate, fo nggati hita ena. Huu naa, hita o musi sadꞌia fee ao tara neu toronoo tara boe.
17 But whoever hath this world's goods, and seeth his brother having need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
Mete ma hambu atahori sa masodꞌan hambu-dai, basa ma nita toronoon esa sia sususaꞌ rala, te ralan nda naꞌena susueꞌ mbei sa boe, fo tulu-fali e sa, taꞌo bee fo atahori naa bisa olaꞌ nae, “Au sue Lamatualain!” Nda bisa sa!
18 My children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
Ana susue ngga re! Afiꞌ sue noꞌ a dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ maloleꞌ ra, te tao dala maloleꞌ boe, fo mitudꞌu susue mara no matetuꞌ.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him;
Te mete ma hita tatudꞌu susueꞌ ma tao dala maloleꞌ taꞌo naa, hita bisa bubꞌuluꞌ tae, hita hambu tasodꞌa tungga ndoo-tetuꞌ a. No taꞌo naa, hita nda parlu tamatau sa, ma bisa botiꞌ mata tara leleꞌ tandaa to Lamatualain.
20 because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Itaꞌ mae rala tara feꞌe fua salaꞌ neu nggita soꞌal dala nda maloleꞌ fo tao titaꞌ ra, na, afiꞌ tamatau. Huu Lamatualain naꞌena kasian lenaꞌ seli mia hita. Ma Ana o bubꞌuluꞌ basa-bꞌasaꞌ e.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have confidence toward God;
Ana susue ngga re! Mete ma rala tara oi hita nda sala sa, na, ata bisa tamahere ao tara ma nda mae sa leleꞌ ata hule-oꞌe mbali Lamatualain.
22 and whatever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
Huu hita tao tungga parenda nara, ma tao ralan namahoꞌo, naa de hita bisa simbo basa saa fo toꞌe mia E.
23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and should love one another, as he gave commandment.
Parendan nae taꞌo ia: tamahere takandoo neu Anan Yesus Kristus, fo Ana haitua nemaꞌ a. Ma esa sue esa nekendooꞌ a, onaꞌ Yesus parendan.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him; and hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit, which he gave us.
Atahori mana tao tungga Lamatualain parenda nara, eni nasodꞌa neꞌebꞌue no Lamatualain ena. Ma Lamatuaꞌ o neꞌebꞌue no eni boe. Hita bubꞌuluꞌ Eni sia rala tara, huu Dula-dalen nasodꞌa sia naa.
