1My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1Mani bērniņi, šo es jums rakstu, lai jūs negrēkotu. Bet ja nu kāds grēkojis, tad mums taisnīgais Jēzus Kristus ir aizstāvis pie Tēva.
2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
2Viņš ir mūsu grēku izlīdzināšana: ne tikai mūsu vien, bet arī visas pasaules.
3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
3No tā mēs zinam, ka Viņu esam pazinuši, ja izpildam Viņa baušļus.
4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
4Ja kas saka, ka Viņu pazīst, bet nepilda Viņa baušļus, tas ir melis, un viņā nav patiesības.
5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
5Bet kas Viņa vārdu ievēro, tanī patiesi Dieva mīlestība ir pilnīga; un no tā mēs zinām, ka esam Viņā.
6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
6Kas saka, ka Viņā paliek, tam pienākas tā rīkoties, kā Viņš darījis.
7Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
7Mīļie, ne jaunu bausli es jums rakstu, bet veco bausli, kas bija jums no sākuma. Šis vecais bauslis ir tas vārds, ko dzirdējāt.
8Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
8Un es rakstu jums atkal jaunu bausli, kas patiess Viņā un jūsos, jo tumsība pagājusi un patiesā gaisma jau spīd.
9He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
9Kas saka, ka viņš ir gaismā, un ienīst savu brāli, tas vēl aizvien ir tumsībā.
10He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
10Kas savu brāli mīl, paliek gaismā, un viņā nav piedauzības.
11But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
11Bet kas savu brāli ienīst, tas atrodas tumsībā un staigā tumsībā, un nezina, kurp tas iet, jo tumsa darījusi aklas viņa acis.
12I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
12Es rakstu jums, bērniņi, jo grēki jums viņa vārda dēļ tiek piedoti.
13I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
13Es rakstu jums, tēvi, jo jūs pazināt Viņu, kas ir no sākuma. Es rakstu jums, jaunekļi, jo jūs uzvarējāt ļauno.
14I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
14Es rakstu jums, bērni, jo jūs pazināt Tēvu. Es rakstu jums, jaunieši, jo jūs esat stipri, un Dieva vārds paliek jūsos, un jūs ļauno uzvarējāt.
15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
15Nemīliet pasauli, nedz arī to, kas ir pasaulē! Ja kāds mīl pasauli, tad viņā nav Tēva mīlestības.
16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
16Jo viss, kas pasaulē, ir miesas kārība un acu kārība, un dzīves lepnība, kas nav no Tēva, bet no pasaules.
17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
17Un pasaule un viņas kārība pāriet, bet kas izpilda Dieva gribu, paliek mūžīgi.
18Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
18Bērniņi, ir pēdējā stunda! Un nāk, kā jūs dzirdējāt, antikrists; un tagad jau daudzi antikristi radušies; no tā mēs zinām, ka ir pēdējā stunda.
19They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
19No mums viņi izgājuši, bet viņi nebija mūsējie, jo, ja tie būtu mūsējie, tie paliktu ar mums. Viņi jāatklāj, ka tie visi nav mūsējie.
20But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
20Bet jums ir Svētā svaidīšana, un jūs zinat visu.
21I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
21Es nerakstīju jums kā patiesības nezinātājiem, bet kā tās pazinējiem, jo nekādi meli nav no patiesības.
22Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
22Kas gan ir melis, ja ne tas, kas noliedz, ka Jēzus ir Kristus? Tas ir antikrists, kas noliedz Tēvu un Dēlu.
23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
23Katram, kas noliedz Dēlu, nav Tēva. Kas apliecina Dēlu, tam ir arī Tēvs.
24Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
24Ko jūs dzirdējāt no sākuma, lai paliek jūsos. Ja jūsos paliks tas, ko dzirdējāt no sākuma, tad arī jūs paliksiet Dēlā un Tēvā.
25And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
25Šis ir tas apsolījums, ko Viņš mums solījis, mūžīgā dzīve.
26These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
26To es jums uzrakstīju par tiem, kas jūs maldina.
27But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
27Un jums lai paliek tas svaidījums, ko no Viņa saņēmāt. Un jums nevajag, lai jūs kāds mācītu; bet ka Viņa svaidījums māca jums visu, tas ir patiesi un nav meli. Un kā Viņš jūs mācījis, tā palieciet Viņā!
28And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
28Un tagad, bērniņi, palieciet Viņā, lai, kad Viņš parādīsies, mums būtu paļāvība un, Viņam atnākot, mēs netiktu no Viņa apkaunoti.
29If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
29Ja jūs ziniet, ka Viņš ir taisnīgs, tad zinat arī, ka ikviens, kas dara taisnību, no Viņa ir dzimis.
