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.
Djeèice moja! ovo vam pišem da ne griješite; i ako ko sagriješi, imamo zastupnika kod oca, Isusa Hrista pravednika,
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
I on oèišæa grijehe naše, i ne samo naše nego i svega svijeta.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
I po tom razumijemo da ga poznasmo, ako zapovijesti njegove držimo.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Koji govori: poznajem ga, a zapovijesti njegovijeh ne drži, laža je, i u njemu istine nema;
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:
A koji drži rijeè njegovu, u njemu je zaista ljubav Božija savršena; po tom poznajemo da smo u njemu.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Koji govori da u njemu stoji, i taj treba tako da hodi kao što je on hodio.
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.
Ljubazni! ne pišem vam nove zapovijesti, nego zapovijest staru koju imaste ispoèetka. Zapovijest stara jest rijeè koju èuste ispoèetka.
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.
Opet vam pišem novu zapovijest, koja je zaista u njemu i u vama; jer tama prolazi, i vidjelo pravo veæ svijetli.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Koji govori da je u vidjelu, a mrzi na svojega brata, još je u tami.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Koji ljubi brata svojega, u vidjelu živi, i sablazni u njemu nema.
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.
A koji mrzi na svojega brata, u tami je, i u tami hodi, i ne zna kuda ide, jer mu tama zaslijepi oèi.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Pišem vam, djeèice, da vam se opraštaju grijesi imena njegova radi.
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.
Pišem vam, oci, jer poznaste onoga koji nema poèetka. Pišem vam, mladiæi, jer nadvladaste neèastivoga. Pišem vam, djeco, jer poznaste oca.
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.
Pisah vam, oci, jer poznaste onoga koji je od poèetka. Pisah vam, mladiæi, jer ste jaki, i rijeè Božija u vama stoji, i nadvladaste neèastivoga.
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.
Ne ljubite svijeta ni što je na svijetu. Ako ko ljubi svijet, nema ljubavi oèine u njemu.
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.
Jer sve što je na svijetu, tjelesna želja, i želja oèiju, i ponos života, nije od oca, nego je od ovoga svijeta.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
I svijet prolazi i želja njegova; a koji tvori volju Božiju ostaje dovijeka. (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.
Djeco! pošljednje je vrijeme, i kao što èuste da æe doæi antihrist, i sad mnogi antihristi postaše; po tom poznajemo da je pošljednji èas.
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.
Od nas iziðoše, ali ne biše od nas: kad bi bili od nas onda bi ostali s nama; ali da se jave da nijesu svi od nas.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
I vi imate pomazanje od svetoga, i znate sve.
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.
Ne pisah vam kao da ne znate istine, nego što je znate, i znate da nikakva laž nije od istine.
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.
Ko je lažljivac osim onoga koji odrièe da Isus nije Hristos? Ovo je antihrist, koji se odrièe oca i sina.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Koji se god odrièe sina ni oca nema; a koji priznaje sina, i oca ima.
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.
Vi dakle što èuste ispoèetka u vama neka stoji; ako u vama ostane što èuste ispoèetka, i vi æete ostati u sinu i u ocu.
I ovo je obeæanje koje nam on obeæa, život vjeèni. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Ovo vam pisah za one koji vas varaju.
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.
I vi pomazanje što primiste od njega, u vama stoji, i ne trebujete da vas ko uèi; nego kako vas to samo pomazanje uèi u svemu, i istinito je, i nije laž, i kao što vas nauèi ostanite u njemu.
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.
I sad, djeèice, ostanite u njemu da imamo slobodu kad se javi, i da se ne osramotimo pred njim o njegovu dolasku.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Ako znate da je pravednik, poznajte da je svaki koji tvori pravdu od njega roðen.
