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

1. మనం దేవుని సంతానంగా పరిగణింపబడాలని తండ్రి మనపై ఎంత ప్రేమను కురిపించాడో చూడండి. అవును, మనం దేవుని సంతానమే. ప్రపంచం ఆయన్ని తెలుసుకోలేదు కనుక మనల్ని కూడా తెలుసుకోవటం లేదు.

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. ప్రియ మిత్రులారా! మనం ప్రస్తుతానికి దేవుని సంతానం. ఇకముందు ఏ విధంగా ఉంటామో దేవుడు మనకింకా తెలియబరచలేదు. కాని యేసు తిరిగి వచ్చినప్పుడు ఆయనెలా ఉంటాడో చూస్తాము. కనుక మనం కూడా ఆయనలాగే ఉంటామని మనకు తెలుసు.

3. അവനില് ഈ പ്രത്യാശയുള്ളവന് എല്ലാം അവന് നിര്മ്മലനായിരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ തന്നെത്തന്നേ നിര്മ്മലീകരിക്കുന്നു.

3. ఇలాంటి ఆశాభావాన్ని ఉంచుకొన్న ప్రతి ఒక్కడూ ఆయనలా పవిత్రమౌతాడు.

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

4. పాపాలు చేసిన ప్రతి ఒక్కడూ నీతిని ఉల్లంఘించిన వాడౌతాడు. నిజానికి, పాపమంటేనే ఆజ్ఞను ఉల్లంఘించటం.

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

5. కాని, యేసు పాప పరిహారం చెయ్యటానికి వచ్చాడని మీకు తెలుసు. ఆయనలో పాపమనేది లేదు.

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

6. ఆయనలో జీవించేవాడెవ్వడూ పాపం చెయ్యడు. ఆయన్ని చూడనివాడు, ఆయనెవరో తెలియనివాడు మాత్రమే పాపం చేస్తూ ఉంటాడు.

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

7. బిడ్డలారా! మిమ్మల్నెవరూ మోసం చెయ్యకుండా జాగ్రత్త పడండి. యేసు నీతిమంతుడు. ఆయనలా నీతిని పాలించే ప్రతివ్యక్తి నీతిమంతుడు.

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

8. ఆదినుండి సైతాను పాపాలు చేస్తూ ఉన్నాడు. అందువల్ల పాపం చేసే ప్రతివ్యక్తి సైతానుకు చెందుతాడు. సైతాను చేస్తున్న పనుల్ని నాశనం చెయ్యటానికే దేవుని కుమారుడు వచ్చాడు.

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

9. దైవేచ్ఛవల్ల జన్మించిన వానిలో దేవుని బీజం ఉంటుంది. కనుక పాపం చెయ్యడు. అతడు దేవుని వల్ల జన్మించాడు కనుక పాపం చెయ్యలేడు.

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

10. అదే విధంగా తన సోదరుణ్ణి ప్రేమించనివాడు దేవుని సంతానం కాదు. నీతిని పాటించనివాడు దేవుని సంతానం కాదు. దీన్నిబట్టి దేవుని సంతానమెవరో, సైతాను సంతానమెవరో మనం స్పష్టంగా తెలుసుకోగలుగుతాం.

11. നിങ്ങള് ആദിമുതല് കേട്ട ദൂതുനാം അന്യോന്യം സ്നേഹിക്കേണം എന്നല്ലോ ആകുന്നു.

11. “పరస్పరం ప్రేమతో ఉండాలి” అనే సందేశాన్ని మీరు మొదటినుండి విన్నారు.

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

12. సైతాను సంబంధియైన కయీను తన సోదరుణ్ణి హత్య చేసాడు. మీరు అతనిలా ఉండకూడదు. కయీను తన సోదరుణ్ణి ఎందుకు హత్య చేసాడు? కయీను దుర్మార్గుడు. అతని సోదరుడు సన్మార్గుడు.

13. സഹോദരന്മാരേ, ലോകം നിങ്ങളെ പകെക്കുന്നു എങ്കില് ആശ്ചര്യ്യപ്പെടരുതു.

13. ప్రపంచం మిమ్మల్ని ద్వేషిస్తే ఆశ్చర్యపడకండి.

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

14. మనం మన సోదరుల్ని ప్రేమిస్తున్నాము కనుక మరణం నుండి బ్రతికింపబడ్డాము. ఈ విషయం మనకు తెలుసు. ప్రేమించనివాడు మరణంలోనే ఉండిపోతాడు.

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

15. సోదరుణ్ణి ద్వేషించేవాడు హంతకునితో సమానము. అలాంటివానికి నిత్య జీవం లభించదని మీకు తెలుసు.

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

16. యేసు క్రీస్తు మనకోసం తన ప్రాణాలర్పించాడు. మనం మన సోదరుల కోసం ప్రాణాల్ని ధారపోయాలి. అప్పుడే ‘ప్రేమ’ అంటే ఏమిటో మనం తెలుసుకోగలము.

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

17. ఒకని దగ్గర అన్ని సౌకర్యాలు ఉన్నాయనుకోండి. కాని, అతడు తన సోదరునికి అవసరాలు ఉన్నాయని తెలిసి కూడా దయ చూపకుండా ఉంటే అతని పట్ల దేవుని దయ ఎందుకు ఉంటుంది?

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

18. బిడ్డలారా! మనం మాటలతో కాక క్రియా రూపంగా, సత్యంతో మన ప్రేమను వెల్లడి చేద్దాం.

19. നാം സത്യത്തിന്റെ പക്ഷത്തു നിലക്കുന്നവര് എന്നു ഇതിനാല് അറിയും;

19.

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

20.

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

21. ప్రియ మిత్రులారా! మన హృదయాలు మన మీద నిందారోపణ చేయలేనిచో మనకు ఆయన సమక్షంలో ధైర్యం ఉంటుంది.

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

22. దేవుని ఆజ్ఞల్ని పాటిస్తూ ఆయనకు ఆనందం కలిగే విధంగా నడుచుకొంటే మనం అడిగింది మనకు లభిస్తుంది.

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

23. ఆయన ఆజ్ఞ యిది: దేవుని కుమారుడైన యేసు క్రీస్తు నామమందు విశ్వాసముంచండి. ఆయనాజ్ఞాపించిన విధంగా పరస్పరం ప్రేమతో ఉండండి.

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

24. దేవుని ఆజ్ఞల్ని పాటించిన వాళ్ళు ఆయనలో జీవిస్తారు. ఆయన వాళ్ళలో జీవిస్తాడు. ఆయన మనకు ఇచ్చిన ఆత్మద్వారా ఆయన మనలో జీవిస్తున్నాడని తెలుసుకోగలుగుతాం.
