1 John 5
1 All those who believe that Jesus is the (Messiah/person God sent [to rescue us]) are ones who [have truly] become children of God. And everyone who loves [a man who is] someone’s father will [be expected to] love that man’s children as well. [Similarly, those who love God, who has caused them to become his children] [MET], [should love their fellow believers, whom God has also caused to become his children].
Quem acredita que Jesus é o Cristo nasceu de Deus. Quem ama o Pai, ama também o filho que nasce dele.
2 The way we can be sure that we [truly] love God’s children is this: We are loving them when we love God and do what he commands [us to do].
Por isso sabemos que amamos os filhos de Deus, quando amamos a Deus e guardamos seus mandamentos.
3 [I say this] because our obeying what God commands [us to do] is [the same as] loving him. And it is not burdensome/difficult for [us to do] what God commands [us to do].
Pois isto é amar a Deus, quando amamos a Deus e guardamos seus mandamentos. Seus mandamentos não são dolorosos.
4 All of us whom God has caused to become his children have been able to successfully resist (doing what/conducting our lives like) the people [MTY] [who] oppose God do. It is [only] by our trusting [in Christ] that we are able to (resist doing what/conducting our lives like) people in the world who are opposed to God [MTY] do.
Pois tudo o que nasce de Deus supera o mundo. Esta é a vitória que venceu o mundo: sua fé.
5 ([I will tell you] who are the ones who are able to resist doing what the people who are opposed to God do./Do you know who are the ones who are able to resist conducting their lives like the people who are opposed to God [MTY] do? [RHQ]) It is those who believe that Jesus is (God’s Son/the man who is also God).
Quem é aquele que vence o mundo, mas aquele que crê que Jesus é o Filho de Deus?
6 [Think about] Jesus Christ. He is the one who came [to earth from God]. [God showed that he had truly sent Jesus when Jesus was baptized] in water [MTY] and [when Jesus’] blood [flowed from his body when he died]. [God showed this] not only [when Jesus was baptized] [MTY], but also when Jesus’ blood flowed [from his body when he died]. And [God’s] Spirit declares [truthfully that Jesus Christ came from God]. The Spirit always [speaks what] is true.
Este é aquele que veio pela água e pelo sangue, Jesus Cristo; não somente com a água, mas com a água e o sangue. É o Espírito que testifica, porque o Espírito é a verdade.
7 There are three [ways] by which we know [that Christ came from God].
Pois são três os que testemunham:
8 [Those three ways are: What God’s] Spirit [tells us, what God said when Jesus was baptized] [MTY] [in/with] water, and [Jesus’] blood [that flowed from his body when he died on the cross]. These three things all tell us the same thing, [that Jesus came from God].
o Espírito, a água e o sangue; e os três concordam como um só.
9 We [usually] believe what [other] people say. But what God says is more [reliable/trustworthy than what people say]. So [we must believe] what God has said is true [about] (his Son/the one who is also God).
Se recebemos o testemunho dos homens, o testemunho de Deus é maior; pois este é o testemunho de Deus que ele testemunhou a respeito de seu Filho.
10 Those who trust in the Son of God know within their (inner beings/hearts) that [what God] says [about his Son is true. But] those who refuse to believe that [what] God says is true are saying that God is a liar, because they refuse to believe what God has said about (his Son/the one who is also God).
Aquele que acredita no Filho de Deus tem o testemunho em si mesmo. Aquele que não acredita que Deus fez dele um mentiroso, porque não acreditou no testemunho que Deus deu sobre seu Filho.
11 This is what [God] says [to us]: “I have given you eternal life!” We will live forever if we have a close relationship with his Son. (aiōnios g166)
O testemunho é o seguinte: que Deus nos deu a vida eterna, e esta vida está em seu Filho. (aiōnios g166)
12 Those who have [a close relationship with God’s] Son (OR, who have accepted what God’s Son [has done for them]) have [already] begun to live [forever]. [But] those who do not have a relationship with (God’s Son/the one who is also God) (OR, who have not accepted what God’s Son has done for them) have not begun [to] live [forever].
Aquele que tem o Filho, tem a vida. Aquele que não tem o Filho de Deus, não tem a vida.
13 I have written this [letter] to you who believe that Jesus is [MTY] (God’s Son/the one who is also God) in order that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Estas coisas escrevi a vocês que acreditam no nome do Filho de Deus, para que saibam que têm a vida eterna, e para que continuem a acreditar no nome do Filho de Deus. (aiōnios g166)
14 Because we have a close relationship with him, we are very confident that he hears us when we ask him [to do anything] that is in accordance with (his will/what he desires).
Esta é a ousadia que temos para com ele, que se pedirmos algo de acordo com sua vontade, ele nos escuta.
15 [And] since we know that he hears whenever we ask [him for something], we [also] know that [it is as though] he has [already] done what we requested him [to do].
E se sabemos que ele nos escuta, o que quer que peçamos, sabemos que temos as petições que lhe pedimos.
16 Those who see one of their fellow believers sinning in a way that does not result in being eternally separated from God should ask [God to help that fellow believer]; and [as a result God] will help that fellow believer and enable him or her to live [eternally. But some people] sin [in a manner that causes them] to be separated from God eternally. I am not saying that [you should] ask [God to help] people who sin like that.
Se alguém vir seu irmão pecar um pecado que não leva à morte, ele pedirá, e Deus lhe dará a vida por aqueles que não pecam e não levam à morte. Existe um pecado que leva à morte. Eu não digo que ele deva fazer um pedido a esse respeito.
17 Everyone who does what is wrong is sinning, but there are some sins that do not cause a person to be separated from God.
Toda injustiça é pecado, e há pecado que não leva à morte.
18 We know that if a person has new life from God [MET], that person does not continue sinning. Instead, the (Son of/one who is also) God protects him so that [Satan], the evil one, does not harm him [spiritually].
Sabemos que quem nasce de Deus não peca, mas aquele que nasceu de Deus se mantém, e o maligno não o toca.
19 We know that we belong to God, and [we know] that the evil one controls all [the evil people in] [MTY] the world.
Sabemos que somos de Deus, e o mundo inteiro está no poder do maligno.
20 We also know that (God’s Son/the one who is also God) has come [to us], and [we know] that he has enabled us to know God, the one who is really/truly God. So now we have a close relationship with [God because] we belong to Jesus Christ, the one who is the (Son of/man who is also) God. Jesus Christ is truly God, and [he is the one who enables us to have] eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Sabemos que o Filho de Deus veio e nos deu um entendimento, que conhecemos aquele que é verdadeiro; e estamos naquele que é verdadeiro, em seu Filho Jesus Cristo. Este é o verdadeiro Deus e a vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
21 [I say to] you who are very dear to me, guard/keep yourselves from [worshipping] gods [that have no real power]!
Crianças pequenas, mantenham-se longe dos ídolos.
