¹Mu lapsed, seda ma kirjutan teile, et te ei teeks pattu. Aga kui keegi patustab, siis on meil eestkostja Isa juures, Jeesus Kristus, kes on õige,

¹My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor Greek Parakleton: Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, and Comforter. with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.

²ning tema on lepitusohver meie pattude eest, kuid mitte üksnes meie, vaid ka terve maailma pattude eest.

²And he is the atoning sacrifice “atoning sacrifice” is from the Greek “hilasmos,” an appeasing, propitiating, or the means of appeasement or propitiation—the sacrifice that turns away God’s wrath because of our sin. for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

³Ja sellest me tunneme ära, et oleme teda mõistnud, kui me peame tema käske.

³This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

⁴Kes ütleb: 'Mina tunnen teda', aga ei pea tema käske, see on valetaja ja temas ei ole tõde.

⁴One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

⁵Kuid kes peab tema sõna, selles on tõesti Jumala armastus saanud täiuslikuks. Sellest me tunneme ära, et oleme temas.

⁵But whoever keeps his word, God’s love has most certainly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:

⁶Kes ütleb enese püsivat temas, see on ka ise kohustatud käima nõnda, nagu tema on käinud.

⁶he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

⁷Armsad, käsk, millest ma teile kirjutan, ei ole uus, vaid on vana käsk, mis on teil olnud algusest peale. See vana käsk on sõna, mida te olete kuulnud.

⁷Brothers, 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 from the beginning.

⁸Kuid taas - käsk, millest ma teile kirjutan, on uus ning on õige tema sees ja teie sees, sest pimedus möödub ja tõeline valgus paistab juba.

⁸Again, 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.

⁹Kes ütleb enese olevat valguses, ja vihkab oma venda, on siiani pimeduses.

⁹He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.

¹⁰Kes armastab oma venda, see püsib valguses ja ta ei ole pahanduseks.

¹⁰He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

¹¹Kes aga vihkab oma venda, see on pimeduses ja kõnnib pimeduses ega tea, kuhu ta läheb, sest pimedus on sõgestanud tema silmad.

¹¹But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

¹²Ma kirjutan teile, lapsed, sest patud on teile andeks antud tema nime pärast.

¹²I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.

¹³Ma kirjutan teile, isad, sest teie olete mõistnud teda, kes on olnud algusest. Ma kirjutan teile, noored, sest te olete ära võitnud kurja.

¹³I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.

¹⁴Ma olen kirjutanud teile, lapsed, sest teie olete ära tundnud Isa. Ma olen kirjutanud teile, isad, sest teie olete mõistnud teda, kes on olnud algusest. Ma olen kirjutanud teile, noored, sest te olete tugevad ja Jumala sõna püsib teis ning te olete ära võitnud kurja.

¹⁴I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

¹⁵Ärge armastage maailma ega seda, mis on maailmas! Kui keegi armastab maailma, siis ei ole temas Isa armastust.

¹⁵Don’t love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.

¹⁶Sest kõik, mis on maailmas - lihahimu ja silmahimu ja elukõrkus -, ei ole Isast, vaid maailmast.

¹⁶For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.

¹⁷Ja maailm kaob ja tema himu, aga kes teeb Jumala tahtmist, püsib igavesti.

¹⁷The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever.

¹⁸Lapsed, käes on viimne aeg! Nagu te olete kuulnud, et antikristus tuleb, nii ongi nüüd tulnud palju antikristusi. Sellest me tunneme ära, et käes on viimne aeg.

¹⁸Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.

¹⁹Nad on küll välja läinud meie seast, kuid nad pole olnud meie hulgast. Kui nad oleksid olnud meie hulgast, siis nad oleksid jäänud meie sekka. Kuid nad läksid ära, et teha avalikuks: ükski neist ei olnud meie hulgast.

¹⁹They went out from us, but they didn’t 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.

²⁰Teil on ju võidmine sellelt, kes on Püha, ja teil kõigil on teadmine!

²⁰You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. Or, “know what is true.” Or, “know all things.”

²¹Ma ei kirjutanud teile sellepärast, et te tõde ei tea, vaid et te teate seda ning et ühtegi valet ei tule tõe seest.

²¹I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

²²Kes on valetaja? Eks ju see, kes salgab, et Jeesus on Kristus. Antikristus on see, kes salgab Isa ja Poega.

²²Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

²³Kes iganes salgab Poja, sellel pole ka Isa; kes tunnistab Poega, sellel on ka Isa.

²³Whoever denies the Son, the same doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

²⁴Mida te algusest peale olete kuulnud, see püsigu teis. Kui teis püsib see, mida te algusest peale olete kuulnud, siis püsite teiegi Pojas ja Isas.

²⁴Therefore, 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.

²⁵Ja see ongi tõotus, mille tema meile on tõotanud - igavene elu.

²⁵This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.

²⁶Ma kirjutasin seda teile nendest, kes püüavad teid eksitada.

²⁶These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.

²⁷Aga võidmine, mille te olete saanud temalt, püsib ju teis ning teil pole vaja, et keegi teid õpetaks; vaid nii nagu tema võidmine teid kõiges õpetab - see on tõde, mitte vale - ja nii nagu tema teid on õpetanud, nõnda püsige Kristuses.

²⁷As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t 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 will remain in him.

²⁸Ja nüüd, lapsed, püsige Kristuses, et kui tema saab avalikuks, oleks meil tema tulemisel julgus ja mitte häbi tema ees.

²⁸Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

²⁹Kui teie teate, et tema on õige, siis te mõistate, et igaüks, kes teeb õigust, on temast sündinud.

²⁹If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of him.
