1 Juan 3
1 Kitaenyo no ania a kita ti panagayat ti impaay kadatayo ti Ama, nga uray la naawagantayo iti annak ti Dios, ken daytoy ti kinasiasinotayo! Gapu iti daytoy, saannatayo nga am-ammo ti lubong, gapu ta saan isuna nga am-ammo ti lubong.
See how great a sincere love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God! Because the world didn’t know Him, it doesn’t know us.
2 Ay-ayatek, ita ket annaknatayon ti Dios, ken saanpay a naiparangarang no anianto ti pagbalinantayo. Ammotayo nga inton agparang ni Cristo, agbalintayonto a kas kenkuana, ta makitatayonto isuna iti kinasiasinona.
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it hasn’t yet appeared what we will be. We know that when He appears we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
3 Ken amin nga addaan iti kastoy a kinatalged kenkuana maipanggep iti masakbayan ket paspasin-awenna ti bagina a kas met kenkuana a nasin-aw.
Everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
4 Amin nga agtultuloy iti panagbasol ket agar-aramid iti aramid nga awanan-linteg. Ta ti basol ket kinaawan-linteg.
Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
5 Ammoyo a ni Cristo ket naipakaammo tapno mangikkat kadagiti basbasol. Ket kenkuana, awan ti basol.
You know that He appeared to take away sins. There is no sin in Him.
6 Awan ti agtalinaed kenkuana nga agtultuloy iti panagbasol. Awan ti siasinoman nga agtultuloy nga agbasbasol a nakakita kenkuana wenno nakaam-amo kenkuana.
No one who lives in Him sins. No one who sins has seen Him or knows Him.
7 Patpatgek nga annak, saanyo nga itulok nga adda mangiyaw-awan kadakayo. Isuna nga agar-aramid iti kinalinteg ket nalinteg, a kas kenni Cristo a nalinteg.
Little children, don’t let anybody deceive you. The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
8 Isuna nga agar-aramid iti basol ket kukua ti diablo, ta ti diablo ket nagbasol manipud idi punganay. Daytoy ti makagapu a naiparangarang ti Anak ti Dios, tapno dadaelenna dagiti trabaho ti diablo.
The one who practices sin is the Devil’s, because the Devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, that He might destroy the works of the Devil.
9 Siasinoman a naipasngay iti Dios ket saan nga agbasol, gapu ta agtaltalinaed kenkuana ti bukel ti Dios. Saan isuna a makapagtultuloy nga agbasol, gapu ta naipasngay isuna iti Dios.
No one who is born of God practices sin, because God’s seed lives in him. He can’t continue to sin, because he is born of God.
10 Iti daytoy, dagiti annak ti Dios ken dagiti annak ti diablo ket naiparangarang. Siasinoman a saan a mangaramid iti nalinteg ket saan a naggapu iti Dios, uray ti saan a mangay-ayat iti kabsatna.
By this the children of God and the children of the Devil are obvious: anyone who doesn’t practice righteousness is not God’s, and neither is anyone who doesn’t sincerely love his brother or sister.
11 Ta daytoy ti mensahe a nangngeganyo manipud idi punganay, a masapul nga agiinnayattayo,
For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should sincerely love one another.
12 saan a kas kenni Cain a kukua ti diablo ken nangpatay iti kabsatna a lalaki. Ken apay a pinatayna isuna? Gapu ta dagiti aramidna ket dakes, ket dagiti aramid ti kabsatna a lalaki ket nalinteg.
Don’t be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because Cain’s deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.
13 Saankayo nga agsiddaaw, kakabsatko, no kaguradakayo ti lubong.
Don’t be surprised, brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.
14 Ammotayo a nakalasattayon manipud iti patay ket addatayon iti biag, gapu ta ay-ayatentayo dagiti kakabsat. Siasinoman a saan nga agayat ket agtalinaed iti patay.
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we sincerely love our brothers and sisters. Whoever doesn’t sincerely love lives in death.
15 Siasinoman a manggura iti kabsatna ket mammapatay. Ket ammoyo a ti agnanayon a biag ket saan nga agtalinaed iti mammapatay. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever hates his brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life living in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 Babaen iti daytoy nga ammotayo ti ayat, gapu ta inted ni Cristo ti biagna gapu kadatayo. Rebbengtayo met ngarud nga ipaay dagiti biagtayo para kadagiti kakabsat.
By this we know God’s sincere love, because He laid down His life for us. So we also ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
17 Ngem kasano a maibaga nga adda ti ayat ti Dios iti siasinoman nga addaan kadagiti banbanag iti lubong a makakita iti kabsatna nga agkasapulan, ngem iserrana met ti manangngaasi a pusona iti agkasapulan iti tulongna?
If someone has this world’s goods, and sees a brother in need, and closes up his heart of compassion from him, how does God’s sincere love live in him?
18 Patpatgek nga annak, saantayo nga agayat iti sao laeng wenno iti dila, ngem iti aramid ken kinapudno.
My little children, let’s not sincerely love just in words or in language, but in deed and in truth.
19 Babaen iti daytoy nga ammotayo nga addatayo iti kinapudno ken patalgedentayo ti pusotayo iti sanggoananna.
This is how we will know that we belong to the truth, and how we will assure our hearts before Him
20 Gapu ta no akusarannatayo ti pusotayo, dakdakkel ti Dios ngem ti pusotayo, ken ammona ti amin a banag.
whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.
21 Ay-ayatek, no saannatayo nga akusaran dagiti pusotayo, addaantayo iti kinatalged iti Dios.
Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have confidence before God;
22 Ken aniaman a dawatentayo ket awatentayo manipud kenkuana, gapu ta tungtungpalentayo dagiti bilinna ken ar-aramidentayo dagiti banbanag a makaay-ayo iti imatangna.
and we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do the things that please Him.
23 Ken daytoy ti bilinna, a masapul a mamatitayo iti nagan ti Anakna a ni Jesu-Cristo ken agiinnayattayo - gapu ta intedna kadatayo daytoy a bilin.
This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and that we sincerely love one another, just as He commanded us.
24 Isuna a mangtungtungpal kadagiti bilbilin ti Dios ket agtalinaed kenkuana, ken agtaltalinaed ti Dios kenkuana. Ken babaen iti daytoy nga ammotayo nga agtaltalinaed isuna kadatayo, babaen iti Espiritu nga intedna kadatayo.
Whoever keeps His commandments lives in Him, and He lives in that person. This is how we know that He lives in us: by the Spirit He has given us.
