1 Yochanan 2
1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counsellor with the Father, Yeshua the Messiah, the righteous.
Filioli mei, hæc scribo vobis, ut non peccetis. Sed et si quis peccaverit, advocatum habemus apud Patrem, Jesum Christum justum:
2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
et ipse est propitiatio pro peccatis nostris: non pro nostris autem tantum, sed etiam pro totius mundi.
3 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
Et in hoc scimus quoniam cognovimus eum, si mandata ejus observemus.
4 One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.
Qui dicit se nosse eum, et mandata ejus non custodit, mendax est, et in hoc veritas non est.
5 But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:
Qui autem servat verbum ejus, vere in hoc caritas Dei perfecta est: et in hoc scimus quoniam in ipso sumus.
6 he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
Qui dicit se in ipso manere, debet, sicut ille ambulavit, et ipse ambulare.
7 Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.
Carissimi, non mandatum novum scribo vobis, sed mandatum vetus, quod habuistis ab initio. Mandatum vetus est verbum, quod audistis.
8 Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light already shines.
Iterum mandatum novum scribo vobis, quod verum est et in ipso, et in vobis: quia tenebræ transierunt, et verum lumen jam lucet.
9 He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.
Qui dicit se in luce esse, et fratrem suum odit, in tenebris est usque adhuc.
10 He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
Qui diligit fratrem suum, in lumine manet, et scandalum in eo non est.
11 But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Qui autem odit fratrem suum, in tenebris est, et in tenebris ambulat, et nescit quo eat: quia tenebræ obcæcaverunt oculos ejus.
12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
Scribo vobis, filioli, quoniam remittuntur vobis peccata propter nomen ejus.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
Scribo vobis, patres, quoniam cognovistis eum, qui ab initio est. Scribo vobis, adolescentes, quoniam vicistis malignum.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
Scribo vobis, infantes, quoniam cognovistis patrem. Scribo vobis juvenes, quoniam fortes estis, et verbum Dei manet in vobis, et vicistis malignum.
15 Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.
Nolite diligere mundum, neque ea quæ in mundo sunt. Si quis diligit mundum, non est caritas Patris in eo:
16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.
quoniam omne quod est in mundo, concupiscentia carnis est, et concupiscentia oculorum, et superbia vitæ: quæ non est ex Patre, sed ex mundo est.
17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Et mundus transit, et concupiscentia ejus: qui autem facit voluntatem Dei manet in æternum. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Anti-messiah is coming, even now many anti-messiahs have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
Filioli, novissima hora est: et sicut audistis quia antichristus venit, et nunc antichristi multi facti sunt; unde scimus, quia novissima hora est.
19 They went out from us, but they didn’t belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
Ex nobis prodierunt, sed non erant ex nobis, nam, si fuissent ex nobis, permansissent utique nobiscum: sed ut manifesti sint quoniam non sunt omnes ex nobis.
20 You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.
Sed vos unctionem habetis a Sancto, et nostis omnia.
21 I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Non scripsi vobis quasi ignorantibus veritatem, sed quasi scientibus eam: et quoniam omne mendacium ex veritate non est.
22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Yeshua is the Messiah? This is the Anti-messiah, he who denies the Father and the Son.
Quis est mendax, nisi is qui negat quoniam Jesus est Christus? Hic est antichristus, qui negat Patrem, et Filium.
23 Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Omnis qui negat Filium, nec Patrem habet: qui confitetur Filium, et Patrem habet.
24 Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
Vos quod audistis ab initio, in vobis permaneat: si in vobis permanserit quod audistis ab initio, et vos in Filio et Patre manebitis.
Et hæc est repromissio, quam ipse pollicitus est nobis, vitam æternam. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
Hæc scripsi vobis de his, qui seducant vos.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.
Et vos unctionem, quam accepistis ab eo, maneat in vobis. Et non necesse habetis ut aliquis doceat vos: sed sicut unctio ejus docet vos de omnibus, et verum est, et non est mendacium. Et sicut docuit vos: manete in eo.
28 Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Et nunc, filioli, manete in eo: ut cum apparuerit, habeamus fiduciam, et non confundamur ab eo in adventu ejus.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
Si scitis quoniam justus est, scitote quoniam et omnis, qui facit justitiam, ex ipso natus est.
