III.
1 Raugat, cik lelu mīlesteibu Tāvs mums ir parōdejis: Myusus sauc par Dīva bārnim un taidi mes arī asam. Un pasauļs myusu napazeist — tōpēc, ka Jō nav pazinis. 2 Nūmīļōtī, tagad mes asom Dīva bārni, un kas vēļ mes byusim, tys veļ nav atklōts. Tūmār mes zynom: Kad tys byus atklōts, tad mes byusim Jam leidzeigi, jo tad mes Jū redzēsim taidu, kaids Jys ir. 3 Un ikvīns, kas ikš Jō cer, lai tōp svāts, kai Jys ir svāts. 4 Ikvīns, kas grākoj, dora nalykumeibu, jo grāks ir nalykumeiba. 5 Jyus gon zynot, ka Jys atnōce, pats byudams bez grāka, lai nūcaltu myusu grākus. 6 Un kas Jymā palīk, tys nagrākoj; kas grākoj, tys Jō nava redzējis, ni arī Jō pazinis. 7 Bērneņi, lai nivīns jyusu ramaldynoj. Kas taisneigi dora, tys ir taisneigs kai Jys pats ir taisneigs. 8 Bet kas grākoj, tys paīt nu valna, jo valns grākōja nu poša sōkuma. Un Dīva Dāls atgōja, lai valna dorbus iznycynōtu.
9 Kas nu Dīva ir dzimis, tys nagrākoj, jo tymā palīk Jō sākla. Un jys arī navar grākōt, jo nu Dīva ir pīdzimis. 10 Tai var pazeit valna bārnus un Dīva bārnus. Nivīns, kas taisneigi nadora, nava nu Dīva ta pat, kai nivīns, kas sova brōļa namīļoj. 11 Un tai skaņ sludynōjums, kuru jyus nu sōkuma asot dzērdējuši: Mums vīnam ūtru jōmīļoj. 12 Un na tai kai Kains, kas beja nu ļaunō, nūsyta sovu brōli, un kōpēc? Tōpēc, ka ļauni beja jō dorbi, bet jō brōļa beja taisneigi.
13 Nasabreinojit, brōli, ka jyusus pasauļs īneist. 14 Mes labi zynom, ka mes nu nōves asom pōrgōjuši uz dzeivi, jo mes mīļojam brōļus. Bet kas namīļoj, tys palīk nōvē.
15 Kas sovu brōli īneist, tys ir slapkova, un jyus zynot, ka nivīnam slapkovai nav sevī palīkūšōs myužeigōs dzeives. 16 (Dīva) mīlesteibu mes pazeistam tamā, ka Jys par mums atdeve sovu dzeiveibu. Tai arī mums jōuzupurej dzeiveiba par brōlim.
17 Kam šite ir pasauļa monts, un jys redz sovu brōli tryukumā, bet sovu sirdi tam aizdora, kai tad jymā var byut Dīva mīlesteiba? 18 Bērneni, lai mes mīļojam na ar vōrdim un na ar mēli, bet gon ar dorbim un ar patīseibu. 19 Caur tū mes pazeisim, ka asam nu patīseibas un Jō prīškā nūmīrynōsim sovu sirdi. 20 Un jo myusu sirds myusus apvaiņoj, tad tūmār Dīvs ir lelōks par myusu sirdi, un Jys zyna vysu.
21 Nūmīļōtī, jo sirds myusu naapvaiņoj, tad mums ir cereiba uz Dīva. 22 Un kō vīn lyugsim nu Jō, mes sajimsim, jo tik mes izpiļdeisim bausleibas un dareisim tū, kas Jam pateik. 23 Un Jō bausleiba ir, lai mes tycātu Jō Dāla Kunga Jezus Kristus vōrdam, lai mes cyts cytu mīļōtu, kai Jys mums ir pavēlējis. 24 Kas pylda Jō bausleibas, tys ir Jymā un Jys tymā. Tū, ka jys palīk myusūs, mes pazeistam nu Gora, kuru Jys mums ir īdevis.
1 Think how much the Father loves us. He loves us so much that he lets us be called his children, as we truly are. But since the people of this world did not know who Christ is, they don't know who we are. 2 My dear friends, we are already God's children, though what we will be hasn't yet been seen. But we do know when Christ returns, we will be like him, because we will see him as he truly is. 3 This hope makes us keep ourselves holy, just as Christ is holy.
4 Everyone who sins breaks God's law, because sin is the same as breaking God's law. 5 You know Christ came to take away our sins. He isn't sinful, 6 and people who stay one in their hearts with him won't keep on sinning. If they do keep on sinning, they don't know Christ, and they have never seen him.
7 Children, don't be fooled. Anyone who does right is good, just like Christ himself. 8 Anyone who keeps on sinning belongs to the devil. He has sinned from the beginning, but the Son of God came to destroy all that he has done. 9 God's children cannot keep on being sinful. His life-giving power lives in them and makes them his children, so they cannot keep on sinning. 10 You can tell God's children from the devil's children, because those who belong to the devil refuse to do right or to love each other.
Love Each Other
11 From the beginning you were told we must love each other. 12 Don't be like Cain, who belonged to the devil and murdered his own brother. Why did he murder him? He did it because his brother was good, and he was evil. 13 My friends, don't be surprised if the people of this world hate you. 14 Our love for each other proves we have gone from death to life. But if you don't love each other, you are still under the power of death.
15 If you hate each other, you are murderers, and we know murderers do not have eternal life. 16 We know what love is because Jesus gave his life for us. This is why we must give our lives for each other. 17 If we have all we need and see one of our own people in need, we must have pity on that person, or else we cannot say we love God. 18 Children, you show love for others by truly helping them, and not merely by talking about it.
19 When we love others, we know we belong to the truth, and we feel at ease in the presence of God. 20 But even if we don't feel at ease, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends, if we feel at ease in the presence of God, we will have the courage to come near him. 22 He will give us whatever we ask, because we obey him and do what pleases him. 23 God wants us to have faith in his Son Jesus Christ and to love each other. This is also what Jesus taught us to do. 24 If we obey God's commandments, we will stay one in our hearts with him, and he will stay one with us. The Spirit he has given us is proof that we are one with him.
