1 Yuhana 2
1 Nono kibinai nin, i yertine ile mone udu kiti mine bara iwa su kulapi. Bara nani andi umom suu kulapi, tidinin nan seru ulena adi nin Ncife, Yesu nKristi ulena adi lau kang.
Dear children, I write thus to you in order that you may not sin. If any one sins, we have an Advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ the righteous;
2 Amere yisin kitik bite kitene nalaapi bit, na alapi bit cas ba. ama tutung vat nanya inye.
and He is an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 Bara nanere tima yinu tiyiru ghe, andi ti dofuno tidokokime.
And by this we may know that we know Him--if we obey His commands.
4 Ame ulena woro, “Ayiru Kutelle,'' amini nari u dortu tidokokime, atah kinu, kigen di nanya me ba.
He who professes to know Him, and yet does not obey His commands, is a liar, and the truth has no place in his heart.
5 Bara nani ulena dofuno uliru me, Kidegenere nanya nitu une usu Kutelle mali ti likara kan, Nanyanenere tima yinu tidi nin ghe,
But whoever obeys His Message, in him love for God has in very deed reached perfection. By this we can know that we are in Him.
6 Ame ule na aworo adi nin Kutelle na chinu nafo naa Yesu Kristi na chinu.
The man who professes to be continuing in Him is himself also bound to live as He lived.
7 Anan kibinai nin, na din nyertu tidokoki ti pesariri ba, bara nanin tidokoki ti kuseri tona ina mali lazu nin fune. Tidokoki ti kuse tone tinere ti pipin too na ina malin lanzu.
My dearly-loved friends, it is no new command that I am now giving you, but an old command which you have had from the very beginning. By the old command I mean the teaching which you have already received.
8 Vat nanin indin nyertinu minu ti dokoki ti pese, to na kidegen ghari nanya Kristi nan ghinu, bara insirte din katizu nin nanin kidegen nkanan mali chizunu.
And yet I am giving you a new command, for such it really is, so far as both He and you are concerned: because the darkness is now passing away and the light, the true light, is already beginning to shine.
9 Ame ulena aworo adi nanya nkanan, amini nari gwana me aduu nanya sirti harnene.
Any one who professes to be in the light and yet hates his brother man is still in darkness.
10 Ame ulena adinin suu gwana me aduu nanya nkanan na imong ntiru di nanya me ba.
He who loves his brother man continues in the light, and his life puts no stumbling-block in the way of others.
11 Bara nani ame ulena anari gwaname aduu nanya nsirti nin chinu nanya nnsirti; na ayiru kika na ama duu ba, Bara nsirte mali tursu ghe iyizi me.
But he who hates his brother man is in darkness and is walking in darkness; and he does not know where he is going--because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Ina nyertin minu, nono suu nin, bara alapi mine ina shawa mun kite lisa me,
I am writing to you, dear children, because for His sake your sins are forgiven you.
13 Ina nyertin udu kiti mine, acif, bara iyiru ilena adi infune. Ina nyertin minu azamang, bara ina malin katu likara nmunge. Inmi nyertin minu nono nibebene, bara iyiru ucife.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.
14 ina nyertin minu acif, bara iyirughe tun uchizine. In nyertin minu angyana, bara indimin nakara, nin ti pipin Kutelle suo nanya mine inani mali katu likara nmunge une.
I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one.
15 Na iwasu ukauna iyeba sa nin nimong nanya inye. Andi umong dinisuu inye usu Kutelle chife di nanya me ba.
Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart for the Father.
16 Bara ilemong na idin nanya inye in nare, usu kidawo, ushaawa nizi, nin foo figiri kinan zan na inchifari ba in nanya inyeri.
For the things in the world--the cravings of the earthly nature, the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life--they all come, not from the Father, but from the world.
17 Uye nin nimong suu kibinai di katuzu. Bara nanin ule na adin suu unufi Kutelle ama suu sa ligang. (aiōn g165)
And the world, with its cravings, is passing away, but he who does God's will continues for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Nono ni bebene, kubi kun ni malin ghari. Nafo na imali lanzu unan nivira Kristi di cinu, nene ma anan nivira Kristi mali dak, bara nanere ti yino kubi kuni malin ghari.
Dear children, the last hour has come; and as you once heard that there was to be an anti-Christ, so even now many anti-Christs have appeared. By this we may know that the last hour has come.
19 Ina nuzzu kusaei bit, bara na idi nan gharik ba. Bara andi idi nanghari ima li bung nngharik. Bara bara kubi kona inuzu, nanin nuna nainin di nanghari ba.
They have gone forth from our midst, but they did not really belong to us; for had they belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us that it might be manifest that professed believers do not all belong to us.
20 Bara nani anin dini shapewe unuzu kiti le na adi Lau, inani yiru kidegen gye.
As for you, you have an anointing from the holy One and have perfect knowledge.
21 Nanyertin minu, bara na iyiru kidegen ba, bara iyiru barana kinu di degen gye ba.
I have written to you, not because you are ignorant of the truth, but because you know it, and you know that nothing false comes from the truth.
22 Ghari unan kinue amere ule na anari Yesu ku amere Kristi? Ule unitere unan ni vira nin Kristi, bara na anari Ucif.
Who is a liar compared with him who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He who disowns the Father and the Son is the anti-Christ.
23 Ulena anari Usaun na adinin Ncife ba. Vat ulena ayina nin Usaun adini Ucife tutung.
No one who disowns the Son has the Father. He who acknowledges the Son has also the Father.
24 Bara anughe, elemong na ina lanza nin cizine soo nanya mine, inani mayitu nanya in Saun ne nin Cife.
As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father.
And this is the promise which He Himself has given us--the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
26 Imalu nyertinu minu kitene nale na ima wultunu minu.
I have thus written to you concerning those who are leading you astray.
27 Bara anunghe, ushapewe na ina malin seru kiti me suu nanya mine, nin naanin idinin suu umong da dursuzo minu ba. Bara ushapi me ma dursu minu imong vat nin gidegen na kinu ba, nafo na amlin dursuzu minu uworu, suu nanya me.
And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things--and is true and is no falsehood--you are continuing in union with Him even as it has taught you to do.
28 Nin nene nono nayi nin, suu nanya me, bara kubi kona ada, tima yitu nin chin in daki me ba.
And now, dear children, continue in union with Him; so that, if He re-appears, we may have perfect confidence, and may not shrink away in shame from His presence at His Coming.
29 Andi iyirughe adi lau, iyiru vat ulena adi cin gigime ina marighe kiti mere.
Since you know that He is righteous, be assured also that the man who habitually acts righteously is a child of His.
