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.
Moji mali otroci, te stvari vam pišem, da ne grešite. Če pa katerikoli človek greši, imamo pri Očetu zagovornika, Jezusa Kristusa, pravičnega.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
In on je spravna daritev za naše grehe, pa ne samo za naše, ampak tudi za grehe celotnega sveta.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
In s tem spoznamo, da ga poznamo, če se ravnamo po njegovih zapovedih.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Kdor pravi: »Poznam ga, « pa se ne drži njegovih zapovedi, je lažnivec in v njem ni resnice.
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:
Toda kdorkoli se drži njegove besede, je v njem Božja ljubezen resnično izpopolnjena; s tem spoznamo, da smo v njem.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Kdor pravi, [da] ostaja v njem, mora tudi sam tako živeti, kakor je živel on.
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.
Bratje, ne pišem vam nobene nove zapovedi, temveč staro zapoved, ki ste jo imeli od začetka. Stara zapoved je beseda, ki ste jo slišali od začetka.
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.
Ponovno vam pišem novo zapoved, katere beseda je resnična v njem in v vas; zato ker je tema minila in sedaj sije resnična svetloba.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Kdor pravi, [da] je v svetlobi, pa sovraži svojega brata, je v temi celó do sedaj.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Kdor ljubi svojega brata, ostaja v svetlobi in v njem ni nobene priložnosti za spotiko.
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.
Toda kdor sovraži svojega brata, je v temi in hodi po temi in ne ve, kam gre, zato ker mu je ta tema zaslepila njegove oči.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Pišem vam, otročički, ker so vam zaradi njegovega imena odpuščeni vaši grehi.
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, očetje, ker ste spoznali njega, ki je od začetka. Pišem vam, mladeniči, ker ste premagali zlobnega. Pišem vam, majhni otroci, ker ste spoznali Očeta.
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.
Pisal sem vam, očetje, ker ste spoznali njega, ki je od začetka. Pisal sem vam, mladeniči, ker ste močni in Božja beseda ostaja v vas in ste premagali zlobnega.
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 sveta niti stvari, ki so v svetu. Če katerikoli človek ljubi svet, v njem ni Očetove ljubezni.
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.
Kajti vse, kar je v svetu, poželenje mesa, poželenje oči in napuh življenja, ni od Očeta, temveč od sveta.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
In svet mineva in njegovo poželenje; kdor pa izpolnjuje Božjo voljo, ostaja na veke. (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.
Majhni otroci, poslednji čas je in kakor ste slišali, da bo prišel antikrist, je celó sedaj tam mnogo antikristov; po čemer vemo, da je poslednji čas.
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.
Izšli so od nas, toda niso bili od nas; kajti če bi bili od nas, bi brez dvoma ostali z nami, toda odšli so ven, da bi bili lahko jasno prikazani, da niso bili vsi od nas.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Toda vi imate maziljenje od Svetega in poznate vse stvari.
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.
Nisem vam pisal, ker ne poznate resnice, temveč ker jo poznate in da nobena laž ni iz resnice.
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.
Kdo je lažnivec razen, kdor zanika, da Jezus je Kristus? Ta je antikrist, ki zanika Očeta in Sina.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Kdorkoli zanika Sina, ta isti nima Očeta; [toda] kdor priznava Sina, ima tudi Očeta.
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.
Naj torej v vas ostaja to, kar ste slišali od začetka. Če bo to, kar ste slišali od začetka, ostalo v vas, boste tudi vi ostali v Sinu in v Očetu.
In to je obljuba, ki nam jo je obljubil, celó večno življenje. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Te stvari sem vam napisal glede teh, ki vas zapeljujejo.
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.
Toda maziljenje, ki ste ga prejeli od njega, ostaja v vas in ne potrebujete, da vas katerikoli človek uči. Toda kakor vas isto maziljenje uči o vseh stvareh in je resnično in ni laž in celo tako kakor vas je poučilo, boste ostali v njem.
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.
In sedaj, majhni otroci, ostanite v njem, da ko se bo prikazal, bomo lahko imeli zaupanje in ob njegovem prihodu ne bomo osramočeni pred njim.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Če veste, da je pravičen, spoznavate, da je vsak, kdor ravna pravično, rojen iz njega.
