1 Yochanan 3

1 See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

ᎬᏂᏳᏉ ᏄᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ ᎠᏓᎨᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᎢᎩᏁᎸ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏧᏪᏥ ᎦᏰᎪᏎᏗ ᏥᎩ. ᎡᎶᎯ ᎠᏴ ᏂᎩᎦᏔᎲᎾ ᏥᎩ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᎦᏔᎲᎾ ᏥᎨᏒᎩ.

2 Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.

ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ, ᎿᎭᏉ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏧᏪᏥ ᎠᏴ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎠᏏ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏱᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ ᎢᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᏗᎦᏔᎭ ᎾᎯᏳ ᎦᎾᏄᎪᏨᎭ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᏂᎦᏍᏕᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏓᏰᏗᎪᎢ.

3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

ᎩᎶᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏄᏍᏙ ᎤᏚᎩ ᏧᏩᏐ [ ᏥᏌ ], ᎤᏩᏒ ᎠᏓᏅᎦᎵᏍᎪᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ [ ᏥᏌ ] ᏄᏅᎦᎸᎾ ᏥᎩ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏓᏛᏁᎰᎢ.

4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

ᎩᎶ ᏣᏍᎦᏅᎪ ᎠᏲᏍᏗᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ, ᎠᏍᎦᏂᏰᏃ ᎠᏲᏍᏗᏍᎩ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ.

5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.

ᎠᎴ ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎾᎬᏁᎸ ᎢᎩᎲᎡᏗᏱ ᎢᎩᏍᎦᏅᏨᎢ; ᎤᏩᏒᏍᎩᏂ ᎥᏝ ᏳᏪᎭ ᎠᏍᎦᏂ.

6 Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.

ᎩᎶ ᏣᏯᎣ [ ᎦᎶᏁᏛᏱ ] ᎥᏝ ᏯᏍᎦᏅᎪᎢ; ᎩᎶ ᏣᏍᎦᏅᎪᎢ ᎥᏝ ᎤᎪᎲᎯ ᏱᎨᏐᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎦᏙᎥᏒᎯ ᏱᎨᏐᎢ.

7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

ᏗᏥᏲᎵ ᏞᏍᏗ ᎩᎶ ᏱᏥᎶᏄᎮᎴᏍᏗ; ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᏧᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᎦᏅᎾ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ [ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ] ᎾᏍᎦᏅᎾ ᏥᎩ.

8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.

ᎠᏍᎦᏂ ᏧᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ, ᎠᏍᎩᎾ ᏅᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᎨᏐᎢ, ᏗᏓᎴᏂᏍᎬᏰᏃ ᏅᏓᎬᏩᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎠᏍᎩᎾ ᎠᏍᎦᏅᎪᎢ. ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏪᏥ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎾᎬᏁᎸᎩ, ᎤᏲᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎠᏍᎩᎾ ᏚᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎸᎢ.

9 Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.

ᎩᎶ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏕᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎨᏐ ᎥᏝ ᎠᏍᎦᏂ ᏱᏚᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎰᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ ᎤᎦᏔ ᎤᏪᎰᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᏰᎵ ᎬᏩᏍᎦᏅᎢᏍᏗ ᏱᎨᏐᎢ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎪ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏕᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ.

10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.

ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᎿᎭᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏧᏪᏥ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎾᎾᎵᏍᏗᎭ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏍᎩᎾ ᏧᏪᏥ; ᎩᎶ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᏧᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎨᏐᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏅᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᏱᎨᏐᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᏗᎾᏓᏅᏟ ᎤᎨᏳᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎨᏐᎢ.

11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—

ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏥᏣᏛᎩᎭ ᏗᏓᎴᏂᏍᎬ ᏂᎨᏣᏛᎩᏍᎪᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᎦᏓᎨᏳᎯ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ.

12 unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.

ᎥᏝ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎨᎾ ᏄᏛᏁᎸᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎫᏥᏛ ᏅᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᏥᎨᏎᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏅᏟ ᏧᎴ. ᎦᏙᏃ ᎢᎤᎴᎢ? ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏩᏒ ᏚᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲ ᎤᏲᎢᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎤᏅᏟᏃ ᏚᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ.

13 Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

ᏞᏍᏗ ᏱᏥᏍᏆᏂᎪᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎢᏓᏓᏅᏟ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎢᎩᏍᎦᎩᏳ ᎢᎨᏎᏍᏗ.

14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death.

ᎢᏗᎦᏔᎭ ᎠᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎩᎶᏒᎢ ᎬᏂᏛᏃ ᏫᎩᎾᏄᎪᏨᎢ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᏗᏗᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏓᏓᏅᏟ. ᎩᎶ ᎤᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏱᎩ ᏗᎾᏓᏅᏟ, ᎠᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎡᎭ.

15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)

ᎩᎶ ᏗᎾᏓᏅᏟ ᎠᏍᎦᎩ ᏱᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏴᏫ ᎠᎯᎯ; ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎭᏃ ᏴᏫ ᎠᎯᎯ ᎬᏂᏛ ᏄᏪᎲᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ. (aiōnios g166)

16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

ᎠᏂ ᎢᏗᎪ ᏩᏘᎭ ᎤᏓᎨᏳᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎬᏅ ᎡᎳᏗ ᎢᎩᏁᎸᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏴ ᏕᏛᏅ ᎡᎳᏗ ᏱᏗᏗᏁᎭ ᎢᏓᏓᏅᏟ.

17 But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?

ᎩᎶᏍᎩᏂ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎡᎯ ᎠᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏧᏪᎰᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏣᎪᏩᏘᏍᎪ ᏗᎾᏓᏅᏟ ᎤᏂᎬᎬᎢ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏣᏍᏚᏁᎰᏉ ᎤᎾᏫ, ᎦᏙ ᏱᎦᎵᏍᏙᏓ ᏳᏪᎭ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎨᏳᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ?

18 My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.

ᏗᏥᏲᎵ ᏗᏇᏥ, ᏞᏍᏗ ᎢᏗᏁᎬᏉ ᎠᎴ ᏗᏗᏃᎪᎢᏉ ᏱᏗᏛᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏱᎦᏓᎨᏳᏎᏍᏗ, ᏕᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᏒᎢ.

19 And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,

ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᎢᏓᏙᎴᎰᎯᏍᏗᎭ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᏅᏓᎦᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᏙᎯᏱᏃ ᏂᏙᏓᏛᏁᎵ ᏗᎩᎾᏫ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎦᏔᎲᎢ.

20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᏗᎩᎾᏫ ᎢᎩᏍᎦᏅᏨ ᏱᏗᎫᎪᏗᎭ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏟ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᏗᎩᎾᏫ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎦᏔᎯᏳ ᏂᎦᎥᎢ.

21 Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;

ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᏗᎩᎾᏫ ᏂᏗᎫᎪᏓᏁᎲᎾ ᏱᎩ, ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗᏳ ᎢᎦᏓᏅᏔ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎡᏓᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬᎢ;

22 so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎢᏗᏔᏲᎭ ᎢᎩᏁᎰᎢ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎪ ᎢᎩᏍᏆᏂᎪᏛ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᏕᎩᎸᏫᏓᏁᎲ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎤᏰᎸᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏕᎩᎧᏅᎢ.

23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah, and love one another, even as he commanded.

ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏗ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ, ᎢᎪᎯᏳᏗᏱ ᏕᎤᏙᎥ ᎤᏪᏥ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᎦᏓᎨᏳᎯ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᎩᏁᏤᎸᎢ.

24 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.

ᎩᎶᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎠᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏯᎣᎢ [ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏱ ], ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏯᎣᎢ [ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ]. ᎠᎴ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎢᎩᏁᎸᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏓᏙᎴᎰᎯᏍᏗᎭ ᎠᏴ ᎢᎩᏯᎥᎢ.
