1 John 3
1 Behold, what manner of love, the Father hath bestowed upon us—that, children of God, we should be called, —and such we are! Therefore, the world understandeth us not, because it understood not him.
Endrey! manao ahoana ny fitiavana nasehon’ ny Ray ho antsika, dia ny niantsoana antsika hoe zanak’ Andriamanitra, sady izany tokoa isika! Koa noho izany dia tsy mahalala antsika izao tontolo izao, satria tsy nahalala Ary izy.
2 Beloved! now, are we, children of God; and, not yet, hath it been made manifest, what we shall be, —We know that, if it should be made manifest, like unto him, shall we be, because we shall see him, just as he is.
Ry malala, ankehitriny aza dia zanak’ Andriamanitra isika, nefa tsy mbola naseho izay ho toetsika rahatrizay. Fantatsika fa raha hiseho Izy, dia ho tahaka Azy isika, fa ho hitantsika Izy, dia izay tena endriny tokoa.
3 And, whosoever hath this hope on him, is purifying himself, just as, He, is pure.
Ary izay rehetra manana izany fanantenana miorina aminy izany dia manadio ny tenany mba hadio tahaka Azy.
4 Whosoever is committing sin, lawlessness also, is committing, and, sin, is, lawlessness;
Izay rehetra manota no mandika ny lalàna; fa ny ota no fandikana ny lalàna.
5 And ye know, that, He, was made manifest—in order that, our sins, he should take away, and, sin, in him, is there none.
Ary fantatrareo fa Izy no naseho hanaisotra ny ota; ary tsy mba misy ota ao aminy.
6 Whosoever, in him, doth abide, is not sinning: whosoever is sinning, hath not seen him, and doth not understand him.
Izay rehetra mitoetra ao aminy dia tsy manota; izay rehetra manota dia tsy nahita na nahalala Azy.
7 Dear children! Let, no one, lead you astray! He that is doing righteousness, is, righteous, just as, He, is righteous:
Anaka, aza avela hisy hamitaka anareo: izay manao ny marina no marina; eny, marina tahaka Azy.
8 He that is committing sin, is, of the adversary, because, from the beginning, the adversary is sinning. To this end, was the Son of God made manifest, in order that he might undo the works of the adversary.
Izay manota dia avy amin’ ny devoly, satria ny devoly manota hatramin’ ny voalohany. Izao no nisehoan’ ny Zanak’ Andriamanitra, dia ny handrava ny asan’ ny devoly.
9 Whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing, sin, because, a seed of him, within him, abideth; and he cannot be committing sin, because, of God, hath he been born.
Izay rehetra naterak’ Andriamanitra no tsy manota, satria ny voany mitoetra ao anatiny, ary tsy mahay manota izy, satria naretak’ Andriamanitra.
10 Herein, are, manifest, the children of God, and the children of the adversary: Whoever is not doing righteousness, is not of God, nor yet he that is not loving his brother.
Izany no mampiseho miharihary izay Zanak’ Andriamanitra sy izay zanaky ny devoly. Tsy mba avy amin’ Andriamanitra izay rehetra tsy manao ny marina sy izay tsy tia ny rahalahiny.
11 Because, this, is the message which ye have heard from the beginning—that we should be loving one another, —
Fa izao no teny nampitondraina izay efa renareo hatramin’ ny voalohany: tsy maintsy mifankatia isika, ―
12 Not just as, Cain, was, of the wicked one, and slew his brother! And, for what cause, slew he him? Because, his works, were, wicked, whereas, those of his brother, were, righteous.
tsy mba tahaka an’ i Kaina, izay avy tamin’ ilay ratsy ka namono ny rahalahiny. Ary nahoana no namono azy izy? Satria ratsy ny asany, fa marina ny an’ ny rahalahiny.
13 Be not marveling, brethren, if, the world, is hating you:
Aza gaga, ry rahalahy, raha halan’ izao tontolo izao ianareo.
14 We, know, that we have passed over out of death into life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not, abideth in death.
Fantatsika fa efa tafafindra niala tamin’ ny fahafatesana ho amin’ ny fiainana isika satria tia ny rahalahy. Izay tsy tia dia mitoetra ao amin’ ny fahafatesana ihany.
15 Whosoever is hating his brother, is, a murderer; and ye know that, no murderer, hath life age-during, within him abiding. (aiōnios g166)
Izay rehetra mankahala ny rahalahiny dia mpamono olona; ary fantatrareo fa tsy mba misy mpamono olona manana fiainana mandrakizay mitoetra ao anatiny. (aiōnios g166)
16 Hereby, have we come to understand love: in that, He, for us, his life laid down; and, we, ought, for the brethren, our lives to lay down.
Izao no ahafantarantsika ny fitiavana, satria Izy no nanolotra ny ainy hamonjy antsika; ary isika kosa mba tokony hanolotra ny aintsika hamonjy ny rahalahy.
17 But, whoso hath this world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother having, need, and shutteth up his tender affections from him, how, is, the love of God, abiding in him?
Ary izay rehetra manam-pananana amin’ izao fiainana izao, ary mahita ny fahantran’ ny rahalahiny ka mihirim-belona aminy, ahoana no itoeran’ ny fitiavana an’ Andriamanitra ao anatiny?
18 Dear children! Let us not be loving in word, nor yet with the tongue, but in deed and truth.
Anaka, aoka tsy ho tia amin’ ny teny na amin’ ny lela isika, fa amin’ ny asa sy amin’ ny marina.
19 Hereby, shall we get to know, that, of the truth, we are, and, before him, shall persuade our heart;
Izany no hahafantarantsika fa avy amin’ ny marina isika sy hampahatokiantsika ny fontsika eo anatrehany,
20 Because, if our own heart condemn us, greater, is God, than our heart, and perceiveth all things.
na amin’ inona na amin’ inona no anamelohan’ ny fontsika antsika, satria Andriamanitra lehibe noho ny fontsika ka mahalala ny zavatra rehetra.
21 Beloved! if our heart be not condemning us, boldness, have we, towards God;
Ry malala, raha tsy mba manameloka antsika ny fontsika, dia manana fahasahiana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra isika.
22 And, whatsoever we are asking, we are receiving from him, because, his commandments, are we keeping, and, the things that are pleasing before him, are we doing.
Ary na inona na inona no angatahintsika dia raisintsika aminy, satria mitandrina ny didiny sy manao izay ankasitrahana eo imasony isika.
23 And, this, is his commandment, —that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and be loving one another—just as he gave a commandment unto us.
Ary izao no didiny, dia ny hinoantsika ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy Zanany sy ny hifankatiavantsika araka ny didy nomeny antsika.
24 And, he that keepeth his commandments, in him, abideth, and, he, in him. And, hereby, perceive we, that he abideth in us, by reason of the Spirit which, unto us, he hath given.
Ary izay mitandrina ny didiny no mitoetra ao aminy, ary Izy kosa ao aminy. Ary izao no ahafantarantsika fa mitoetra ao amintsika Izy, dia ny Fanahy Izay nomeny antsika.
