1. കാണ്മിന് , നാം ദൈവമക്കള് എന്നു വിളിക്കപ്പെടുവാന് പിതാവു നമുക്കു എത്ര വലിയ സ്നേഹം നല്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു; അങ്ങനെ തന്നേ നാം ആകുന്നു. ലോകം അവനെ അറിഞ്ഞിട്ടില്ലായ്കകൊണ്ടു നമ്മെയും അറിയുന്നില്ല.

1. మనము దేవుని పిల్లలమని పిలువబడునట్లు తండ్రి మనకెట్టి ప్రేమ ననుగ్రహించెనొ చూడుడి; మనము దేవుని పిల్లలమే. ఈ హేతువుచేత లోకము మనలను ఎరుగదు, ఏలయనగా అది ఆయనను ఎరుగలేదు.

2. പ്രിയമുള്ളവരേ, നാം ഇപ്പോള് ദൈവമക്കള് ആകുന്നു. നാം ഇന്നതു ആകും എന്നു ഇതുവരെ പ്രത്യക്ഷമായില്ല. അവന് പ്രത്യക്ഷനാകുമ്പോള് നാം അവനെ താന് ഇരിക്കും പോലെ തന്നേ കാണുന്നതാകകൊണ്ടു അവനോടു സദൃശന്മാര് ആകും എന്നു നാം അറിയുന്നു.
ഇയ്യോബ് 19:25

2. ప్రియులారా, యిప్పుడు మనము దేవుని పిల్లలమై యున్నాము. మనమిక ఏమవుదుమో అది ఇంక ప్రత్యక్షపరచబడలేదు గాని ఆయన ప్రత్యక్షమైనప్పుడు ఆయన యున్నట్లుగానే ఆయనను చూతుము గనుక ఆయనను పోలియుందుమని యెరుగుదుము.

3. അവനില് ഈ പ്രത്യാശയുള്ളവന് എല്ലാം അവന് നിര്മ്മലനായിരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ തന്നെത്തന്നേ നിര്മ്മലീകരിക്കുന്നു.

3. ఆయనయందు ఈ నిరీక్షణ పెట్టుకొనిన ప్రతివాడును ఆయన పవిత్రుడైయున్నట్టుగా తన్ను పవిత్రునిగా చేసికొనును.

4. പാപം ചെയ്യുന്നവന് എല്ലാം അധര്മ്മവും ചെയ്യുന്നു; പാപം അധര്മ്മം തന്നേ.

4. పాపము చేయు ప్రతివాడును ఆజ్ఞను అతిక్రమించును; ఆజ్ఞాతిక్రమమే పాపము.

5. പാപങ്ങളെ നീക്കുവാന് അവന് പ്രത്യക്ഷനായി എന്നു നിങ്ങള് അറിയുന്നു; അവനില് പാപം ഇല്ല.
യെശയ്യാ 53:9

5. పాపములను తీసివేయుటకై ఆయన ప్రత్యక్షమాయెనని మీకు తెలియును; ఆయనయందు పాపమేమియు లేదు.

6. അവനില് വസിക്കുന്നവന് ആരും പാപം ചെയ്യുന്നില്ല. പാപം ചെയ്യുന്നവന് ആരും അവനെ കണ്ടിട്ടില്ല, അറിഞ്ഞിട്ടുമില്ല.

6. ఆయనయందు నిలిచియుండువాడెవడును పాపము చేయడు; పాపము చేయువాడెవడును ఆయనను చూడనులేదు ఎరుగనులేదు.

7. കുഞ്ഞുങ്ങളേ, ആരും നിങ്ങളെ തെറ്റിക്കരുതു; അവന് നീതിമാനായിരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ നീതി ചെയ്യുന്നവന് നീതിമാന് ആകുന്നു.

7. చిన్న పిల్లలారా, యెవనిని మిమ్మును మోసపరచనీయకుడి. ఆయన నీతిమంతుడైయున్నట్టు నీతిని జరిగించు ప్రతివాడును నీతిమంతుడు.

8. പാപം ചെയ്യുന്നവന് പിശാചിന്റെ മകന് ആകുന്നു. പിശാചു ആദിമുതല് പാപം ചെയ്യുന്നുവല്ലോ. പിശാചിന്റെ പ്രവൃത്തികളെ അഴിപ്പാന് തന്നേ ദൈവപുത്രന് പ്രത്യക്ഷനായി.

8. అపవాది మొదట నుండి పాపము చేయుచున్నాడు గనుక పాపము చేయువాడు అపవాది సంబంధి; అపవాది యొక్క క్రియలను లయపరచుటకే దేవుని కుమారుడు ప్రత్యక్షమాయెను.

9. ദൈവത്തില്നിന്നു ജനിച്ചവന് ആരും പാപം ചെയ്യുന്നില്ല; അവന്റെ വിത്തു അവനില് വസിക്കുന്നു; ദൈവത്തില്നിന്നു ജനിച്ചതിനാല് അവന്നു പാപം ചെയ്വാന് കഴികയുമില്ല.

9. దేవుని మూలముగా పుట్టిన ప్రతివానిలో ఆయన బీజము నిలుచును గనుక వాడు పాపముచేయడు; వాడు దేవుని మూలముగా పుట్టినవాడు గనుక పాపము చేయజాలడు.

10. ദൈവത്തിന്റെ മക്കള് ആരെന്നും പിശാചിന്റെ മക്കള് ആരെന്നും ഇതിനാല് തെളിയുന്നു; നീതി പ്രവര്ത്തിക്കാത്തവന് ആരും സഹോദരനെ സ്നേഹിക്കാത്തവനും ദൈവത്തില്നിന്നുള്ളവനല്ല.

10. దీనినిబట్టి దేవుని పిల్లలెవరో అపవాది పిల్లలెవరో తేటపడును. నీతిని జరిగించని ప్రతివాడును, తన సహోదరుని ప్రేమింపని ప్రతివాడును దేవుని సంబంధులు కారు.

11. നിങ്ങള് ആദിമുതല് കേട്ട ദൂതുനാം അന്യോന്യം സ്നേഹിക്കേണം എന്നല്ലോ ആകുന്നു.

11. మనమొకని నొకడు ప్రేమింపవలెననునది మొదటనుండి మీరు వినిన వర్తమానమే గదా

12. കയീന് ദുഷ്ടനില്നിന്നുള്ളവനായി സഹോദരനെ കൊന്നതുപോലെ അല്ല; അവനെ കൊല്ലുവാന് സംഗതി എന്തു? തന്റെ പ്രവൃത്തി ദോഷവും സഹോദരന്റേതു നീതിയുമുള്ളതാകകൊണ്ടത്രേ.
ഉല്പത്തി 4:8

12. మనము కయీను వంటివారమై యుండరాదు. వాడు దుష్టుని సంబంధియై తన సహోదరుని చంపెను; వాడతనిని ఎందుకు చంపెను? తన క్రియలు చెడ్డవియు తన సహోదరుని క్రియలు నీతి గలవియునై యుండెను గనుకనే గదా?

13. സഹോദരന്മാരേ, ലോകം നിങ്ങളെ പകെക്കുന്നു എങ്കില് ആശ്ചര്യ്യപ്പെടരുതു.

13. సహోదరులారా, లోకము మిమ్మును ద్వేషించిన యెడల ఆశ్చర్యపడకుడి.

14. നാം മരണം വിട്ടു ജീവനില് കടന്നിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു സഹോദരന്മാരെ സ്നേഹിക്കുന്നതിനാല് നമുക്കു അറിയാം. സ്നേഹിക്കാത്തവന് മരണത്തില് വസിക്കുന്നു.

14. మనము సహోదరులను ప్రేమించుచున్నాము గనుక మరణములోనుండి జీవములోనికి దాటియున్నామని యెరుగుదుము. ప్రేమ లేనివాడు మరణమందు నిలిచియున్నాడు.

15. സഹോദരനെ പകെക്കുന്നവന് എല്ലാം കുലപാതകന് ആകുന്നു. യാതൊരു കുലപാതകന്നും നിത്യജീവന് ഉള്ളില് വസിച്ചിരിപ്പില്ല എന്നു നിങ്ങള് അറിയുന്നു.

15. తన సహోదరుని ద్వేషించువాడు నరహంతకుడు; ఏ నరహంతకునియందును నిత్యజీవముండదని మీరెరుగుదురు.

16. അവന് നമുക്കു വേണ്ടി തന്റെ പ്രാണനെ വെച്ചുകൊടുത്തതിനാല് നാം സ്നേഹം എന്തു എന്നു അറിഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു; നാമും സഹോദരന്മാര്ക്കും വേണ്ടി പ്രാണനെ വെച്ചുകൊടുക്കേണ്ടതാകുന്നു.

16. ఆయన మన నిమిత్తము తన ప్రాణముపెట్టెను గనుక దీనివలన ప్రేమ యెట్టిదని తెలిసికొనుచున్నాము. మనముకూడ సహోదరులనిమిత్తము మన ప్రాణములను పెట్ట బద్ధులమైయున్నాము.

17. എന്നാല് ഈ ലോകത്തിലെ വസ്തുവകയുള്ളവന് ആരെങ്കിലും തന്റെ സഹോദരന്നു മുട്ടുള്ളതു കണ്ടിട്ടു അവനോടു മനസ്സലിവു കാണിക്കാഞ്ഞാല് ദൈവത്തിന്റെ സ്നേഹം അവനില് എങ്ങനെ വസിക്കും?
ആവർത്തനം 15:7-8

17. ఈ లోకపు జీవనోపాధిగలవాడైయుండి, తన సహోదరునికి లేమి కలుగుట చూచియు, అతనియెడల ఎంతమాత్రమును కనికరము చూపనివానియందు దేవుని ప్రేమ యేలాగు నిలుచును?

18. കുഞ്ഞുങ്ങളേ, നാം വാക്കിനാലും നാവിനാലും അല്ല, പ്രവൃത്തിയിലും സത്യത്തിലും തന്നേ സ്നേഹിക്കുക.

18. చిన్న పిల్లలారా, మాటతోను నాలుకతోను కాక క్రియతోను సత్యముతోను ప్రేమింతము.

19. നാം സത്യത്തിന്റെ പക്ഷത്തു നിലക്കുന്നവര് എന്നു ഇതിനാല് അറിയും;

19. ఇందు వలన మనము సత్యసంబంధులమని యెరుగుదుము. దేవుడు మన హృదయముకంటె అధికుడై, సమస్తమును ఎరిగియున్నాడు గనుక మన హృదయము ఏ యే విషయములలో మనయందు దోషారోపణ చేయునో ఆ యా విషయములలో ఆయన యెదుట మన హృదయములను సమ్మతి పరచుకొందము.

20. ഹൃദയം നമ്മെ കുറ്റം വിധിക്കുന്നു എങ്കില് ദൈവം നമ്മുടെ ഹൃദയത്തെക്കാള് വലിയവനും എല്ലാം അറിയുന്നവനും എന്നു നമ്മുടെ ഹൃദയത്തെ അവന്റെ സന്നിധിയില് ഉറപ്പിക്കാം.

20. ప్రియులారా, మన హృదయము మనయందు దోషారోపణ చేయనియెడల దేవుని యెదుట ధైర్యముగలవారమగుదుము.

21. പ്രിയമുള്ളവരേ, ഹൃദയം നമ്മെ കുററം വിധിക്കുന്നില്ലെങ്കില് നമുക്കു ദൈവത്തോടു പ്രാഗത്ഭ്യം ഉണ്ടു.

21. మరియు మనమాయన ఆజ్ఞలను గైకొనుచు ఆయన దృష్టికి ఇష్టమైనవి చేయుచున్నాము గనుక, మనమేమి అడిగినను అది ఆయనవలన మనకు దొరుకును.

22. അവന്റെ കല്പനകളെ നാം പ്രമാണിച്ചു അവന്നു പ്രസാദമുള്ളതു ചെയ്യുന്നതുകൊണ്ടു എന്തു യാചിച്ചാലും അവങ്കല്നിന്നു ലഭിക്കും.

22. ఆయన ఆజ్ఞ యేదనగా ఆయన కుమారుడైన యేసుక్రీస్తు నామమును నమ్ముకొని, ఆయన మనకు ఆజ్ఞనిచ్చిన ప్రకారముగా ఒకనినొకడు ప్రేమింప వలెననునదియే.

23. അവന്റെ കല്പനയോ, അവന്റെ പുത്രനായ യേശുക്രിസ്തുവിന്റെ നാമത്തില് നാം വിശ്വസിക്കയും അവന് നമുക്കു കല്പന തന്നതുപോലെ അന്യോന്യം സ്നേഹിക്കയും വേണം എന്നുള്ളതു തന്നേ.

23. ఆయన ఆజ్ఞలను గైకొనువాడు ఆయన యందు నిలిచియుండును, ఆయన వానియందు నిలిచి యుండును; ఆయన మనయందు నిలిచియున్నాడని

24. അവന്റെ കല്പനകളെ പ്രമാണിക്കുന്നവന് അവനിലും അവന് ഇവനിലും വസിക്കുന്നു. അവന് നമ്മില് വസിക്കുന്നു എന്നു അവന് നമുക്കു തന്ന ആത്മാവിനാല് നാം അറിയുന്നു.

24. ఆయన మనకనుగ్రహించిన ఆత్మమూలముగా తెలిసికొను చున్నాము.
