1Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and [such] we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1Dikhen, sode sam drago le Dadeske! Leski dragostia kadia de baro lo kai shave Devleske akharen ame, ai chaches shave Devleske sam. Eta sostar e lumia chi zhanel ame, ke chi zhanel le Devles.
2Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.
2Murhe vortacha, ame sam akana shave Devleske, numa chi zhanas inker mishto so avasa mai angle. Numa zhanas ke kana avela O Kristo, ame avasa sar leste, ke ame dikhasa les sar lo.
3And every one that hath this hope [set] on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
3Ai kon godi si les kado pachamos ando Kristo vuzharelpe andral, vi sar si O Kristo vuzho.
4Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
4Savo godi manush kerel bezexa doshalo ke chi kerel so phenel o zakono le Devlesko; ke o bezex doshalo lo karing o zakono.
5And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.
5Ai tume zhanen ke O Jesus Kristo avilo te lel amare bezexa, ai ande leste nai chi iek bezex.
6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him.
6Kon godi beshel astardo ka Kristo chi mai kerel bezexa; numa kon godi inker mai kerel bezexa chi dikhlia le Kristos, ai chi zhanglia les.
7[My] little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous:
7Murhe shave, na meken te rimol tume khonik katar O Del! Ke kodo kai kerel so si vorta lo, sar O Jesus Kristo si vorta.
8he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
8O manush kai kerel bezexa, kodo manush si bengesko; ke o beng kerdia bezexa de anda gor. Ai O Shav le Devlesko avilo pe phuv, te pharhavel e buchi le bengeski.
9Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God.
9Kon godi si shav Devlesko nashti mai kerel bezexa sagda; ke e putiera le traioski kai avel katar O Del si ande leste; ai ke O Del si lesko Dat wo nashti mai kerel bezexa sagda.
10In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
10Eta sar prinzhardion mishto le shave le Devleske, ai le shave le bengeske, kon godi chi kerel so si vorta, vai nai leske drago lesko phral, kodo nai shav Devlesko.
11For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:
11Ke eta e lashi viasta kai ashundian de anda gor: te avas drazhi iek kavreske.
12not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
12Chi trobul te keras sar o Cain, ke wo le bengesko sas, ai mudardia peske phrales. Ai sostar mudardia les? Ke le dieli kai kerelas o Cain sas nasul, numa le dieli kai kerelas lesko phral vorta sas.
13Marvel not, brethren, if the world hateth you.
13Na chudin tume, murhe phral, ke san griatsa le manushenge kai si ande lumia.
14We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death.
14Ame zhanas ke nakhliam katar e martia ke traio, ke drago amenge amare phral. Numa kodo kai nai leske drago lesko phral inker ande martia.
15Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
15Ke savo godi manush nai leske drago lesko phral, wo si manush kai mudarel; ai tume zhanen ke manush kai mudarel nai ande leste o traio kai chi mai getolpe.
16Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
16Eta sar zhanas so si e dragostia, O Jesus Kristo dia pesko traio amenge. No vi ame, trobul te das amaro traio amare phralenge!
17But whoso hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?
17Te si ek manush kai si barvalo ai te dikhela ke trobul vari so leske phrales, numa te phandavela pesko ilo leske, sar sai mothol kodo manush ke drago leske le Devles peske ilesa?
18[My] Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.
18Murhe shave, chi trobul te drago amenge le vorbensa ai la shibasa, numa trobul te sikavas amari dragostia chachimasa ai ilesa.
19Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him:
19Anda kodia zhanasa ke ame sam shave le Devleske, ai kerela amaro ilo te haliarelape vorta angla Del.
20because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
20Ke te dosharela ame amaro ilo, ame zhanas ke O Del mai baro lo katar amaro ilo, ai zhanel swako fielo.
21Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God;
21Murhe vortacha, te na dosharela ame amaro ilo, ame sai mangas ame katar O Del bi darako.
22and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
22Ai so godi mangasa lestar, wo dela ame, ke ame las ame pala lesko zakono, ai keras so si leske drago.
23And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment.
23Ai so mangel amendar, wo mangel te pachas ame ando anav leske Shavesko o Jesus Kristo, ai te avas drazhi iek kavreske, sar manglia amendar O Kristo.
24And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
24Ai kodo kai kerel so mothol o zakono le Devlesko, wo ando Del lo ai O Del ande leste le. Ai ame zhanas ke O Del traiil ande amende pala Swunto Duxo kai dia ame.
