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.
paśyata vayam īśvarasya santānā iti nāmnākhyāmahe, etena pitāsmabhyaṁ kīdṛk mahāprema pradattavān, kintu saṁsārastaṁ nājānāt tatkāraṇādasmān api na jānāti|
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.
he priyatamāḥ, idānīṁ vayam īśvarasya santānā āsmahe paścāt kiṁ bhaviṣyāmastad adyāpyaprakāśitaṁ kintu prakāśaṁ gate vayaṁ tasya sadṛśā bhaviṣyāmi iti jānīmaḥ, yataḥ sa yādṛśo 'sti tādṛśo 'smābhirdarśiṣyate|
3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
tasmin eṣā pratyāśā yasya kasyacid bhavati sa svaṁ tathā pavitraṁ karoti yathā sa pavitro 'sti|
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
yaḥ kaścit pāpam ācarati sa vyavasthālaṅghanaṁ karoti yataḥ pāpameva vyavasthālaṅghanaṁ|
5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
aparaṁ so 'smākaṁ pāpānyapaharttuṁ prākāśataitad yūyaṁ jānītha, pāpañca tasmin na vidyate|
6 Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.
yaḥ kaścit tasmin tiṣṭhati sa pāpācāraṁ na karoti yaḥ kaścit pāpācāraṁ karoti sa taṁ na dṛṣṭavān na vāvagatavān|
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
he priyabālakāḥ, kaścid yuṣmākaṁ bhramaṁ na janayet, yaḥ kaścid dharmmācāraṁ karoti sa tādṛg dhārmmiko bhavati yādṛk sa dhāmmiko 'sti|
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.
yaḥ pāpācāraṁ karoti sa śayatānāt jāto yataḥ śayatāna āditaḥ pāpācārī śayatānasya karmmaṇāṁ lopārthameveśvarasya putraḥ prākāśata|
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.
yaḥ kaścid īśvarāt jātaḥ sa pāpācāraṁ na karoti yatastasya vīryyaṁ tasmin tiṣṭhati pāpācāraṁ karttuñca na śaknoti yataḥ sa īśvarāt jātaḥ|
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.
ityaneneśvarasya santānāḥ śayatānasya ca santānā vyaktā bhavanti| yaḥ kaścid dharmmācāraṁ na karoti sa īśvarāt jāto nahi yaśca svabhrātari na prīyate so 'pīśvarāt jāto nahi|
11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
yatastasya ya ādeśa ādito yuṣmābhiḥ śrutaḥ sa eṣa eva yad asmābhiḥ parasparaṁ prema karttavyaṁ|
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.
pāpātmato jāto yaḥ kābil svabhrātaraṁ hatavān tatsadṛśairasmābhi rna bhavitavyaṁ| sa kasmāt kāraṇāt taṁ hatavān? tasya karmmāṇi duṣṭāni tadbhrātuśca karmmāṇi dharmmāṇyāsan iti kāraṇāt|
13 Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
he mama bhrātaraḥ, saṁsāro yadi yuṣmān dveṣṭi tarhi tad āścaryyaṁ na manyadhvaṁ|
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.
vayaṁ mṛtyum uttīryya jīvanaṁ prāptavantastad bhrātṛṣu premakaraṇāt jānīmaḥ| bhrātari yo na prīyate sa mṛtyau tiṣṭhati|
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
yaḥ kaścit svabhrātaraṁ dveṣṭi saṁ naraghātī kiñcānantajīvanaṁ naraghātinaḥ kasyāpyantare nāvatiṣṭhate tad yūyaṁ jānītha| (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.
asmākaṁ kṛte sa svaprāṇāṁstyaktavān ityanena vayaṁ premnastattvam avagatāḥ, aparaṁ bhrātṛṇāṁ kṛte 'smābhirapi prāṇāstyaktavyāḥ|
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?
sāṁsārikajīvikāprāpto yo janaḥ svabhrātaraṁ dīnaṁ dṛṣṭvā tasmāt svīyadayāṁ ruṇaddhi tasyāntara īśvarasya prema kathaṁ tiṣṭhet?
18 My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
he mama priyabālakāḥ, vākyena jihvayā vāsmābhiḥ prema na karttavyaṁ kintu kāryyeṇa satyatayā caiva|
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
etena vayaṁ yat satyamatasambandhīyāstat jānīmastasya sākṣāt svāntaḥkaraṇāni sāntvayituṁ śakṣyāmaśca|
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
yato 'smadantaḥkaraṇaṁ yadyasmān dūṣayati tarhyasmadantaḥ karaṇād īśvaro mahān sarvvajñaśca|
21 Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
he priyatamāḥ, asmadantaḥkaraṇaṁ yadyasmān na dūṣayati tarhi vayam īśvarasya sākṣāt pratibhānvitā bhavāmaḥ|
22 so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
yacca prārthayāmahe tat tasmāt prāpnumaḥ, yato vayaṁ tasyājñāḥ pālayāmastasya sākṣāt tuṣṭijanakam ācāraṁ kurmmaśca|
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.
aparaṁ tasyeyamājñā yad vayaṁ putrasya yīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmni viśvasimastasyājñānusāreṇa ca parasparaṁ prema kurmmaḥ|
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.
yaśca tasyājñāḥ pālayati sa tasmin tiṣṭhati tasmin so'pi tiṣṭhati; sa cāsmān yam ātmānaṁ dattavān tasmāt so 'smāsu tiṣṭhatīti jānīmaḥ|
