1 yohanaḥ 2
1 he priyabālakāḥ, yuṣmābhi ryat pāpaṁ na kriyeta tadarthaṁ yuṣmān pratyetāni mayā likhyante| yadi tu kenāpi pāpaṁ kriyate tarhi pituḥ samīpe 'smākaṁ ekaḥ sahāyo 'rthato dhārmmiko yīśuḥ khrīṣṭo vidyate|
My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus (the) Messiah, the righteous.
2 sa cāsmākaṁ pāpānāṁ prāyaścittaṁ kevalamasmākaṁ nahi kintu likhilasaṁsārasya pāpānāṁ prāyaścittaṁ|
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 vayaṁ taṁ jānīma iti tadīyājñāpālanenāvagacchāmaḥ|
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4 ahaṁ taṁ jānāmīti vaditvā yastasyājñā na pālayati so 'nṛtavādī satyamatañca tasyāntare na vidyate|
One who says, "I know him," and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 yaḥ kaścit tasya vākyaṁ pālayati tasmin īśvarasya prema satyarūpeṇa sidhyati vayaṁ tasmin varttāmahe tad etenāvagacchāmaḥ|
But whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
6 ahaṁ tasmin tiṣṭhāmīti yo gadati tasyedam ucitaṁ yat khrīṣṭo yādṛg ācaritavān so 'pi tādṛg ācaret|
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
7 he priyatamāḥ, yuṣmān pratyahaṁ nūtanāmājñāṁ likhāmīti nahi kintvādito yuṣmābhi rlabdhāṁ purātanāmājñāṁ likhāmi| ādito yuṣmābhi ryad vākyaṁ śrutaṁ sā purātanājñā|
Beloved, 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.
8 punarapi yuṣmān prati nūtanājñā mayā likhyata etadapi tasmin yuṣmāsu ca satyaṁ, yato 'ndhakāro vyatyeti satyā jyotiścedānīṁ prakāśate;
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.
9 ahaṁ jyotiṣi vartta iti gaditvā yaḥ svabhrātaraṁ dveṣṭi so 'dyāpi tamisre varttate|
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
10 svabhrātari yaḥ prīyate sa eva jyotiṣi varttate vighnajanakaṁ kimapi tasmin na vidyate|
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
11 kintu svabhrātaraṁ yo dveṣṭi sa timire varttate timire carati ca timireṇa ca tasya nayane 'ndhīkriyete tasmāt kka yāmīti sa jñātuṁ na śaknoti|
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 he śiśavaḥ, yūyaṁ tasya nāmnā pāpakṣamāṁ prāptavantastasmād ahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhāmi|
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 he pitaraḥ, ya ādito varttamānastaṁ yūyaṁ jānītha tasmād yuṣmān prati likhāmi| he yuvānaḥ yūyaṁ pāpatmānaṁ jitavantastasmād yuṣmān prati likhāmi| he bālakāḥ, yūyaṁ pitaraṁ jānītha tasmādahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhitavān|
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
14 he pitaraḥ, ādito yo varttamānastaṁ yūyaṁ jānītha tasmād yuṣmān prati likhitavān| he yuvānaḥ, yūyaṁ balavanta ādhve, īśvarasya vākyañca yuṣmadantare vartate pāpātmā ca yuṣmābhiḥ parājigye tasmād yuṣmān prati likhitavān|
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 yūyaṁ saṁsāre saṁsārasthaviṣayeṣu ca mā prīyadhvaṁ yaḥ saṁsāre prīyate tasyāntare pituḥ prema na tiṣṭhati|
Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.
16 yataḥ saṁsāre yadyat sthitam arthataḥ śārīrikabhāvasyābhilāṣo darśanendriyasyābhilāṣo jīvanasya garvvaśca sarvvametat pitṛto na jāyate kintu saṁsāradeva|
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
17 saṁsārastadīyābhilāṣaśca vyatyeti kintu ya īśvarasyeṣṭaṁ karoti so 'nantakālaṁ yāvat tiṣṭhati| (aiōn g165)
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
18 he bālakāḥ, śeṣakālo'yaṁ, aparaṁ khrīṣṭāriṇopasthāvyamiti yuṣmābhi ryathā śrutaṁ tathā bahavaḥ khrīṣṭāraya upasthitāstasmādayaṁ śeṣakālo'stīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the antimessiah is coming, even now many antimessiahs have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
19 te 'smanmadhyān nirgatavantaḥ kintvasmadīyā nāsan yadyasmadīyā abhaviṣyan tarhyasmatsaṅge 'sthāsyan, kintu sarvve 'smadīyā na santyetasya prakāśa āvaśyaka āsīt|
They went out from us, but they did not 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.
20 yaḥ pavitrastasmād yūyam abhiṣekaṁ prāptavantastena sarvvāṇi jānītha|
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 yūyaṁ satyamataṁ na jānītha tatkāraṇād ahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhitavān tannahi kintu yūyaṁ tat jānītha satyamatācca kimapyanṛtavākyaṁ notpadyate tatkāraṇādeva|
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 yīśurabhiṣiktastrāteti yo nāṅgīkaroti taṁ vinā ko 'paro 'nṛtavādī bhavet? sa eva khrīṣṭāri ryaḥ pitaraṁ putrañca nāṅgīkaroti|
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Messiah? This is the antimessiah, he who denies the Father and the Son.
23 yaḥ kaścit putraṁ nāṅgīkaroti sa pitaramapi na dhārayati yaśca putramaṅgīkaroti sa pitaramapi dhārayati|
Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 ādito yuṣmābhi ryat śrutaṁ tad yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhatu, āditaḥ śrutaṁ vākyaṁ yadi yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhati, tarhi yūyamapi putre pitari ca sthāsyatha|
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.
This is the promise which he promised us, the everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
26 ye janā yuṣmān bhrāmayanti tānadhyaham idaṁ likhitavān|
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 aparaṁ yūyaṁ tasmād yam abhiṣekaṁ prāptavantaḥ sa yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhati tataḥ ko'pi yad yuṣmān śikṣayet tad anāvaśyakaṁ, sa cābhiṣeko yuṣmān sarvvāṇi śikṣayati satyaśca bhavati na cātathyaḥ, ataḥ sa yuṣmān yadvad aśikṣayat tadvat tatra sthāsyatha|
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not 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 remain in him.
28 ataeva he priyabālakā yūyaṁ tatra tiṣṭhata, tathā sati sa yadā prakāśiṣyate tadā vayaṁ pratibhānvitā bhaviṣyāmaḥ, tasyāgamanasamaye ca tasya sākṣānna trapiṣyāmahe|
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 sa dhārmmiko 'stīti yadi yūyaṁ jānītha tarhi yaḥ kaścid dharmmācāraṁ karoti sa tasmāt jāta ityapi jānīta|
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
