1 यूहन्ना 2
1 हे मेरे बालकों, मैं ये बातें तुम्हें इसलिये लिखता हूं, कि तुम पाप न करो; और यदि कोई पाप करे, तो पिता के पास हमारा एक सहायक है, अर्थात धार्मिक यीशु मसीह।
2 और वही हमारे पापों का प्रायश्चित्त है: और केवल हमारे ही नहीं, वरन सारे जगत के पापों का भी।
3 यदि हम उस की आज्ञाओं को मानेंगे, तो इस से हम जान लेंगे कि हम उसे जान गए हैं।
4 जो कोई यह कहता है, कि मैं उसे जान गया हूं, और उस की आज्ञाओं को नहीं मानता, वह झूठा है; और उस में सत्य नहीं।
5 पर जो कोई उसके वचन पर चले, उस में सचमुच परमेश्वर का प्रेम सिद्ध हुआ है: हमें इसी से मालूम होता है, कि हम उस में हैं।
6 सो कोई यह कहता है, कि मैं उस में बना रहता हूं, उसे चाहिए कि आप भी वैसा ही चले जैसा वह चलता था।
7 हे प्रियों, मैं तुम्हें कोई नई आज्ञा नहीं लिखता, पर वही पुरानी आज्ञा जो आरम्भ से तुम्हें मिली है; यह पुरानी आज्ञा वह वचन है, जिसे तुम ने सुना है।
8 फिर मैं तुम्हें नई आज्ञा लिखता हूं; और यह तो उस में और तुम में सच्ची ठहरती है; क्योंकि अन्धकार मिटता जाता है और सत्य की ज्योति अभी चमकने लगी है।
9 जो कोई यह कहता है, कि मैं ज्योति में हूं; और अपने भाई से बैर रखता है, वह अब तक अन्धकार ही में है।
10 जो कोई अपने भाई से प्रेम रखता है, वह ज्योति में रहता है, और ठोकर नहीं खा सकता।
11 पर जो कोई अपने भाई से बैर रखता है, वह अन्धकार में है, और अन्धकार में चलता है; और नहीं जानता, कि कहां जाता है, क्योंकि अन्धकार ने उस की आंखे अन्धी कर दी हैं॥
12 हे बालकों, मैं तुम्हें इसलिये लिखता हूं, कि उसके नाम से तुम्हारे पाप क्षमा हुए।
13 हे पितरों, मैं तुम्हें इसलिये लिखता हूं, कि जो आदि से है, तुम उसे जानते हो: हे जवानों, मैं तुम्हें इसलिये लिखता हूं, कि तुम ने उस दुष्ट पर जय पाई है: हे लड़कों मैं ने तुम्हें इसलिये लिखा है, कि तुम पिता को जान गए हो।
14 हे पितरों, मैं ने तुम्हें इसलिये लिखा है, कि जो आदि से है तुम उसे जान गए हो: हे जवानो, मैं ने तुम्हें इसलिये लिखा है, कि तुम बलवन्त हो, और परमेश्वर का वचन तुम में बना रहता है, और तुम ने उस दुष्ट पर जय पाई है।
15 तुम न तो संसार से और न संसार में की वस्तुओं से प्रेम रखो: यदि कोई संसार से प्रेम रखता है, तो उस में पिता का प्रेम नहीं है।
16 क्योंकि जो कुछ संसार में है, अर्थात शरीर की अभिलाषा, और आंखों की अभिलाषा और जीविका का घमण्ड, वह पिता की ओर से नहीं, परन्तु संसार ही की ओर से है।
17 और संसार और उस की अभिलाषाएं दोनों मिटते जाते हैं, पर जो परमेश्वर की इच्छा पर चलता है, वह सर्वदा बना रहेगा॥
18 हे लड़कों, यह अन्तिम समय है, और जैसा तुम ने सुना है, कि मसीह का विरोधी आने वाला है, उसके अनुसार अब भी बहुत से मसीह के विरोधी उठे हैं; इस से हम जानते हैं, कि यह अन्तिम समय है।
19 वे निकले तो हम ही में से, पर हम में के थे नहीं; क्योंकि यदि हम में के होते, तो हमारे साथ रहते, पर निकल इसलिये गए कि यह प्रगट हो कि वे सब हम में के नहीं हैं।
20 और तुम्हारा तो उस पवित्र से अभिषेक हुआ है, और तुम सब कुछ जानते हो।
21 मैं ने तुम्हें इसलिये नहीं लिखा, कि तुम सत्य को नहीं जानते, पर इसलिये, कि उसे जानते हो, और इसलिये कि कोई झूठ, सत्य की ओर से नहीं।
22 झूठा कौन है? केवल वह, जो यीशु के मसीह होने का इन्कार करता है; और मसीह का विरोधी वही है, जो पिता का और पुत्र का इन्कार करता है।
23 जो कोई पुत्र का इन्कार करता है उसके पास पिता भी नहीं: जो पुत्र को मान लेता है, उसके पास पिता भी है।
24 जो कुछ तुम ने आरम्भ से सुना है वही तुम में बना रहे: जो तुम ने आरम्भ से सुना है, यदि वह तुम में बना रहे, तो तुम भी पुत्र में, और पिता में बने रहोगे।
25 और जिस की उस ने हम से प्रतिज्ञा की वह अनन्त जीवन है।
26 मैं ने ये बातें तुम्हें उन के विषय में लिखी हैं, जो तुम्हें भरमाते हैं।
27 और तुम्हारा वह अभिषेक, जो उस की ओर से किया गया, तुम में बना रहता है; और तुम्हें इस का प्रयोजन नही, कि कोई तुम्हें सिखाए, वरन जैसे वह अभिषेक जो उस की ओर से किया गया तुम्हें सब बातें सिखाता है, और यह सच्चा है, और झूठा नहीं: और जैसा उस ने तुम्हें सिखाया है वैसे ही तुम उस में बने रहते हो।
28 निदान, हे बालकों, उस में बने रहो; कि जब वह प्रगट हो, तो हमें हियाव हो, और हम उसके आने पर उसके साम्हने लज्ज़ित न हों।
29 यदि तुम जानते हो, कि वह धार्मिक है, तो यह भी जानते हो, कि जो कोई धर्म का काम करता है, वह उस से जन्मा है।
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
2 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly:
4 For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
5 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
6 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah?
8 And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
10 As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the Lord from my youth.
13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundred men of the Lord’s prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.
15 And Elijah said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table.
20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.
31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the Lord came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:
32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.
40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
41 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,
43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
46 And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
