1 John 2
1 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.
he priyabaalakaa. h, yu. smaabhi ryat paapa. m na kriyeta tadartha. m yu. smaan pratyetaani mayaa likhyante| yadi tu kenaapi paapa. m kriyate tarhi pitu. h samiipe. asmaaka. m eka. h sahaayo. arthato dhaarmmiko yii"su. h khrii. s.to vidyate|
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
sa caasmaaka. m paapaanaa. m praaya"scitta. m kevalamasmaaka. m nahi kintu likhilasa. msaarasya paapaanaa. m praaya"scitta. m|
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
vaya. m ta. m jaaniima iti tadiiyaaj naapaalanenaavagacchaama. h|
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
aha. m ta. m jaanaamiiti vaditvaa yastasyaaj naa na paalayati so. an. rtavaadii satyamata nca tasyaantare na vidyate|
5 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:
ya. h ka"scit tasya vaakya. m paalayati tasmin ii"svarasya prema satyaruupe. na sidhyati vaya. m tasmin varttaamahe tad etenaavagacchaama. h|
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
aha. m tasmin ti. s.thaamiiti yo gadati tasyedam ucita. m yat khrii. s.to yaad. rg aacaritavaan so. api taad. rg aacaret|
7 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.
he priyatamaa. h, yu. smaan pratyaha. m nuutanaamaaj naa. m likhaamiiti nahi kintvaadito yu. smaabhi rlabdhaa. m puraatanaamaaj naa. m likhaami| aadito yu. smaabhi ryad vaakya. m "sruta. m saa puraatanaaj naa|
8 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.
punarapi yu. smaan prati nuutanaaj naa mayaa likhyata etadapi tasmin yu. smaasu ca satya. m, yato. andhakaaro vyatyeti satyaa jyoti"scedaanii. m prakaa"sate;
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
aha. m jyoti. si vartta iti gaditvaa ya. h svabhraatara. m dve. s.ti so. adyaapi tamisre varttate|
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
svabhraatari ya. h priiyate sa eva jyoti. si varttate vighnajanaka. m kimapi tasmin na vidyate|
11 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.
kintu svabhraatara. m yo dve. s.ti sa timire varttate timire carati ca timire. na ca tasya nayane. andhiikriyete tasmaat kka yaamiiti sa j naatu. m na "saknoti|
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
he "si"sava. h, yuuya. m tasya naamnaa paapak. samaa. m praaptavantastasmaad aha. m yu. smaan prati likhaami|
13 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.
he pitara. h, ya aadito varttamaanasta. m yuuya. m jaaniitha tasmaad yu. smaan prati likhaami| he yuvaana. h yuuya. m paapatmaana. m jitavantastasmaad yu. smaan prati likhaami| he baalakaa. h, yuuya. m pitara. m jaaniitha tasmaadaha. m yu. smaan prati likhitavaan|
14 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.
he pitara. h, aadito yo varttamaanasta. m yuuya. m jaaniitha tasmaad yu. smaan prati likhitavaan| he yuvaana. h, yuuya. m balavanta aadhve, ii"svarasya vaakya nca yu. smadantare vartate paapaatmaa ca yu. smaabhi. h paraajigye tasmaad yu. smaan prati likhitavaan|
15 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.
yuuya. m sa. msaare sa. msaarasthavi. saye. su ca maa priiyadhva. m ya. h sa. msaare priiyate tasyaantare pitu. h prema na ti. s.thati|
16 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.
yata. h sa. msaare yadyat sthitam arthata. h "saariirikabhaavasyaabhilaa. so dar"sanendriyasyaabhilaa. so jiivanasya garvva"sca sarvvametat pit. rto na jaayate kintu sa. msaaradeva|
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
sa. msaarastadiiyaabhilaa. sa"sca vyatyeti kintu ya ii"svarasye. s.ta. m karoti so. anantakaala. m yaavat ti. s.thati| (aiōn g165)
18 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.
he baalakaa. h, "se. sakaalo. aya. m, apara. m khrii. s.taari. nopasthaavyamiti yu. smaabhi ryathaa "sruta. m tathaa bahava. h khrii. s.taaraya upasthitaastasmaadaya. m "se. sakaalo. astiiti vaya. m jaaniima. h|
19 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.
te. asmanmadhyaan nirgatavanta. h kintvasmadiiyaa naasan yadyasmadiiyaa abhavi. syan tarhyasmatsa"nge. asthaasyan, kintu sarvve. asmadiiyaa na santyetasya prakaa"sa aava"syaka aasiit|
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
ya. h pavitrastasmaad yuuyam abhi. seka. m praaptavantastena sarvvaa. ni jaaniitha|
21 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.
yuuya. m satyamata. m na jaaniitha tatkaara. naad aha. m yu. smaan prati likhitavaan tannahi kintu yuuya. m tat jaaniitha satyamataacca kimapyan. rtavaakya. m notpadyate tatkaara. naadeva|
22 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.
yii"surabhi. siktastraateti yo naa"ngiikaroti ta. m vinaa ko. aparo. an. rtavaadii bhavet? sa eva khrii. s.taari rya. h pitara. m putra nca naa"ngiikaroti|
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
ya. h ka"scit putra. m naa"ngiikaroti sa pitaramapi na dhaarayati ya"sca putrama"ngiikaroti sa pitaramapi dhaarayati|
24 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.
aadito yu. smaabhi ryat "sruta. m tad yu. smaasu ti. s.thatu, aadita. h "sruta. m vaakya. m yadi yu. smaasu ti. s.thati, tarhi yuuyamapi putre pitari ca sthaasyatha|
sa ca pratij nayaasmabhya. m yat pratij naatavaan tad anantajiivana. m| (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
ye janaa yu. smaan bhraamayanti taanadhyaham ida. m likhitavaan|
27 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.
apara. m yuuya. m tasmaad yam abhi. seka. m praaptavanta. h sa yu. smaasu ti. s.thati tata. h ko. api yad yu. smaan "sik. sayet tad anaava"syaka. m, sa caabhi. seko yu. smaan sarvvaa. ni "sik. sayati satya"sca bhavati na caatathya. h, ata. h sa yu. smaan yadvad a"sik. sayat tadvat tatra sthaasyatha|
28 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.
ataeva he priyabaalakaa yuuya. m tatra ti. s.thata, tathaa sati sa yadaa prakaa"si. syate tadaa vaya. m pratibhaanvitaa bhavi. syaama. h, tasyaagamanasamaye ca tasya saak. saanna trapi. syaamahe|
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
sa dhaarmmiko. astiiti yadi yuuya. m jaaniitha tarhi ya. h ka"scid dharmmaacaara. m karoti sa tasmaat jaata ityapi jaaniita|
