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].
Кожен, хто вірує, що Ісус єсть Христос, той від Бога родив ся; і кожен, хто любить Родившого, любить і рожденого від Нього.
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].
По сьому пізнаємо, що любимо дітей Божих, коли Бога любимо, і заповіді Його хоронимо.
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].
Се бо любов Божа, щоб ми хоронили заповіді Його; а заповіді Його не тяжкі.
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.
Все бо рождене від Бога сьвіт побіждає; і ся побіда, побідивша сьвіт, віра наша.
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).
Хто се, що побіждає сьвіт, як не той, хто вірує, що Ісус Син Божий?
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.
Се Той, що прийшов з водою і кровю, Ісус Христос; та й не з водою тільки, а з водою і кровю; а Дух сьвідкує, бо Дух є правда.
7 There are three [ways] by which we know [that Christ came from God].
Бо три їх, що сьвідкують на небі: Отець, Слово і сьвятий Дух, і сї три - одно.
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].
І троє їх, що сьвідкують на землї: дух і вода і кров; і сї троє - одно.
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).
Коли сьвідченнє людей приймаємо, то сьвідченнє Боже більше, бо се сьвідченнє Боже, котрим сьвідчив про Сина свого.
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).
Хто вірує в Сина Божого, має сьвідченнє в собі; хто не вірує Богу, ложником зробив Його, бо не увірував у сьвідченнє, котрим сьвідкував Бог про Сина свого.
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)
А се сьвідченнє єсть, що життє вічне дав нам Бог, а се життє у Синї Його. (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].
Хто має Сина, має життє; хто не має Сина Божого, життя не має.
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)
Се написав я вам, віруючим в імя Сина Божого, щоб ви знали, що маєте життє вічне, і щоб вірували в імя Сина Божого. (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).
І се одвага, котру маємо до Него, що, коли чого просимо по волї Його, Він слухає нас;
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].
і коли знаємо, що Він слухає нас, чого б ми не просили, то знаємо, що одержуємо прощення від Него.
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.
Коли хто бачить брата свого, що грішить гріхом не на смерть, нехай молить ся, і (Бог) дасть Йому життє, тим що грішить не на смерть. Єсть гріх на смерть, не за сей кажу, щоб молив ся.
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.
Всяка неправда гріх, та єсть гріх не на смерть.
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].
Знаємо, що кожний, хто родив ся від Бога, не грішить; тільки рождений від Бога, хоронить себе, а лихий не дотикаєть ся його.
19 We know that we belong to God, and [we know] that the evil one controls all [the evil people in] [MTY] the world.
Знаємо, що ми від Бога, і ввесь сьвіт у лихому лежить.
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)
Знаємо ж, що Син Божий прийшов, і дав нам розум, щоб пізнавали Бога правдивого; і ми в правдивому, в Синї Його Ісусї Христї. (aiōnios g166)
21 [I say to] you who are very dear to me, guard/keep yourselves from [worshipping] gods [that have no real power]!
Сей правдивий Бог, і життє вічне. Дїточки, хоронїть себе від ідолів. Амінь.
