1 Joan 3
1 Ikussaçue nolaco charitatea guri eman draucun Aitac, baita, Iaincoaren haur deitha gaitecen: halacotz munduac ezgaitu eçagutzen, ceren ezpaitu hura eçagutzen.
Behold then what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God: though for this reason the world knoweth us not, because it knew not Him.
2 Maiteác, orain Iaincoaren haour gara, baina oraino ezta aguertu içanen garena: badaquigu ordea ecen hura aguer dadinean, hura irudico dugula: ecen den beçala ikussiren duquegu hura.
Beloved, we are now the children of God, but it doth not yet appear what we shall be: we know however, that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.
3 Eta norc-ere sperança haur baitu hura baithan, purificatzen du bere buruä, hura-ere pur den beçala.
And every one, that hath this hope in Him, purifieth himself, even as He is pure.
4 Norc-ere bekatu eguiten baitu, Leguearen contra-ere eguiten du: eta bekatua da Leguearen contra dena.
Every one that committeth sin, transgresseth the law; for sin is the violation of the law.
5 Eta badaquiçue ecen hura aguertu içan dela gure bekatuac ken litzançát, eta bekaturic hura baithan eztela.
And ye know that He was manifested, to take away our sins: and in Him there is no sin.
6 Hura baithan egoiten denec eztu bekaturic eguiten: norc-ere bekatu eguiten baitu, eztu ikussi hura, eta eztu eçagutu hura.
Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, nor known Him.
7 Haourtoác, nehorc seduci etzaitzatela: iustitia eguiten duena, iusto da, hura iusto den beçala.
Little children, let no one deceive you: he that practiseth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous:
8 Bekatu eguiten duena, deabruaganic da: ecen hatseandanic deabruac bekatu eguiten du: hunetacotz aguertu içan da Iaincoaren Semea, deseguin litzançát deabruaren obrác.
he, that makes a practise of sin, is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. And for this the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Nor-ere iayo içan baita Iaincoaganic, harc bekaturic eztu eguiten: ecen haren hacia haina baithan dago, eta ecin daidi bekaturic, ceren Iaincoaganic iayo içan baita.
Whosoever is born of God doth not practise sin, because his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 Hunetan agueri dirade Iaincoaren haourrac eta deabruaren haourrac: norc-ere iustitia ezpaitu eguiten, eta ezpaitu bere anayea onhesten hura ezta Iaincoaganic.
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doth not practise righteousness, and he who loveth not his brother, is not of God:
11 Ecen haur da hatseandanic ençun vkan duçuen mandatalgoá, Elkarri on eritzi dieçogun.
for this is the injunction which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another: not as Cain who was of the evil one, and slew his brother;
12 Ez Cainec beçala, cein baitzén Gaichtoaganic, eta ceinec hil baitzuen bere anayea. Eta cergatic hil vkan çuen? ceren haren obrác gaichto baitziraden, eta haren anayearenac iusto.
and why did he slay him? because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
13 Ene anayeác, ezteçaçuela mirets baldin çuey gaitz badaritzue munduac.
Wonder not then, my brethren, if the world hate you:
14 Guc badaquigu ecen iragan garela heriotic vicitzera, ecen on dariztegu anayey: anayeari on eztaritzana, herioan dago.
since we know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren: he, that loveth not his brother, remaineth in death.
15 Norc-ere gaitz baitaritza bere anayeri hura guicerhaile da: eta badaquiçue guicerhailec batec-ere eztuela vicitze eternal bere baithan dagoena. (aiōnios g166)
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 Hunetan eçagutu vkan dugu charitatea, ceren harc bere vicia guregatic eçarri vkan baitu, guc-ere beraz gure viciac anayeacgatic eçarri behar ditugu.
In this we know his love, that He laid down his life for us: and we should be ready to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 Bada norc vkanen baituque munduco onetaric, eta ikussiren baituque haren anayeac necessitate duqueela eta ertsiren baitrautza bere halsarrac, nolatan Iaincoaren charitatea egoiten da hura baithan?
But if any one, who hath the good things of the world, seeth his brother in want, and shutteth up his bowels from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 Ene haourtoác, ezteçagula on eritzi hitzez ezeta mihiz, baina obraz eta eguiaz:
My little children, let us not love in word, or in tongue only, but in deed and in truth.
19 Eta hunetan eçagutzen dugu ecen eguiatic garela, eta haren aitzinean seguraturen ditugu gure bihotzac.
And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.
20 Ecen baldin condemna baguitza gure bihotzac, handiago da Iaincoa gure bihotza baino, eta eçagutzen ditu gauça guciac.
For, if our heart condemn us, God is still greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Maiteác, baldin gure bihotzac condemnatzen ezpagaitu, segurança dugu Iaincoa baithan.
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence towards God:
22 Eta ceren-ere esca bagaitez, recebitzen dugu harenganic: ecen haren manamenduac beguiratzen ditugu, eta haren aitzinean placént diraden gauçác eguiten ditugu.
and whatsoever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 Eta haur da haren manamendua, Sinhets deçagun Iesus Christ haren Semearen icenean, eta elkarri on daritzogun, manamendu eman dracun beçala.
And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He hath given us a charge to do.
24 Eta haren manamenduac beguiratzen dituena, hura baithan egoiten da, eta hura haina baithan: eta huneçaz eçagutzen dugu ecen hura egoiten dela gutan, da iaquiteco, eman vkan draucun Spirituaz.
And he, that keepeth his commandments, abideth in Him, and He in him: and hereby we know that He abideth in us, even by the Spirit which He hath given us.
