1 John 2
1 My children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ [the] righteous;
Vana vangu vandinoda, ndinonyora izvi kwamuri kuti murege kutadza. Asi kana munhu akatadza, tine murevereri kuna Baba, Jesu Kristu, Iye Akarurama.
2 and he is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.
Ndiye chibayiro chinoyananisira zvivi zvedu, uye kwete zvivi zvedu bedzi, asi wezvivi zvenyika yose.
3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
Tinoziva kuti isu tinomuziva kana tichiteerera mirayiro yake.
4 He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
Munhu anoti, “Ndinomuziva,” asi asingaiti zvaanorayira, iyeye murevi wenhema, uye chokwadi hachizi maari.
5 but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
Asi kana munhu achiteerera shoko rake, zvirokwazvo rudo rwaMwari runokwaniswa maari. Izvi ndizvo zvatinoziva nazvo kuti tiri maari:
6 He that says he abides in him ought, even as he walked, himself also [so] to walk.
Ani naani anozviti anogara maari anofanira kufamba sokufamba kwakaita Jesu.
7 Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard.
Vadikani, handisi kukunyorerai murayiro mutsva asi wakare, wamakanzwa kubva pakutanga. Iwoyu murayiro wekare ndiyo mharidzo yamakanzwa.
8 Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines.
Asi ndiri kukunyorerai murayiro mutsva; chokwadi chawo chinoonekwa maari uye nomamuri, nokuti rima riri kupfuura uye chiedza chechokwadi chava kutovhenekera.
9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
Ani naani anoti ari muchiedza asi achivenga hama yake achiri murima.
10 He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
Ani naani anoda hama yake anogara muchiedza, uye maari hamuna chinhu chingamugumbusa.
11 But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Asi ani naani anovenga hama yake ndiye ari murima uye anofamba murima; haazivi kwaanoenda, nokuti rima rakamupofumadza.
12 I write to you, children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
Ndinokunyorerai, vana vangu vandinoda, nokuti zvivi zvenyu zvakaregererwa nokuda kwezita rake.
13 I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked [one]. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
Ndinokunyorerai, madzibaba, nokuti makamuziva iye akanga aripo kubva pakutanga. Ndinokunyorerai, imi majaya, nokuti makakunda iye akaipa. Ndinokunyorerai, vana vanodikanwa, nokuti makaziva Baba.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked [one].
Ndinokunyorerai, madzibaba, nokuti makamuziva iye akanga aripo kubva pakutanga. Ndinokunyorerai, imi majaya, nokuti mune simba, shoko raMwari rinogara mamuri, uye makakunda iye akaipa.
15 Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him;
Musada nyika kana zvinhu zviri mairi. Kana munhu achida nyika, rudo rwaBaba haruzi maari.
16 because 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.
Nokuti zvinhu zvose zviri munyika zvinoti kuchiva kwemunhu, kuchiva kwameso uye kuzvikudza kwemunhu nokuda kwezvaanazvo nezvaanoita, hazvibvi kuna Baba asi zvinobva kunyika.
17 And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity. (aiōn g165)
Nyika nokuchiva kwayo inopfuura, asi munhu anoita kuda kwaMwari anorarama nokusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, it is [the] last hour, and, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, whence we know that it is [the] last hour.
Vana vanodikanwa, ino ndiyo nguva yokupedzisira; uye sezvamakanzwa kuti andikristu ari kuuya, kunyange izvozvi vanaandikristu vazhinji vakatouya. Ndizvo zvatinoziva nazvo kuti ava mazuva okupedzisira.
19 They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none are of us.
Vakabva kwatiri, asi vakanga vasiri vedu chaivo. Nokuti dai vakanga vari vedu chaivo, vangadai vakagara nesu; asi kuenda kwavo kwakaratidza kuti hapana mumwe wavo akanga ari wedu.
20 And ye have [the] unction from the holy [one], and ye know all things.
Asi imi muno kuzodzwa kunobva kuna Iye Mutsvene, uye imi mose munoziva chokwadi.
21 I have not written to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
Handina kukunyorerai nokuda kwokuti hamuzivi chokwadi, asi nokuda kwokuti munochiziva uye nokuti hakuna nhema dzinobva muchokwadi.
22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
Ndianiko murevi wenhema? Ndiye munhu anoramba kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu. Munhu akadaro ndiye andikristu, anoramba Baba noMwanakomana.
23 Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Hakuna munhu anoramba Mwanakomana angava naBaba; ani naani anopupura Mwanakomana ndiye ana Babawo.
24 As for you let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
Onai kuti zvamakanzwa kubva pakutanga zvagara mamuri. Kana zvikadaro, nemiwo muchagara muMwanakomana nomuna Baba.
Uye izvi ndizvo zvaakativimbisa, ihwo upenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things have I written to you concerning those who lead you astray:
Ndiri kunyora zvinhu izvi kwamuri pamusoro pavaya vanoedza kukutsausai.
27 and yourselves, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Kana murimi, kuzodzwa kwamakagamuchira kubva kwaari kunogara mamuri, uye hamutsvaki mumwe munhu kuti akudzidzisei. Asi sezvo kuzodza kwake kuchikudzidzisai pamusoro pezvinhu zvose uye sezvo kuzodza ikoko kuri kwechokwadi, kwete kwenhema, sezvakwakakudzidzisai, garai maari.
28 And now, children, abide in him, that if he be manifested we may have boldness, and not be put to shame from before him at his coming.
Uye zvino, vana vanodiwa, rambai muri maari, kuitira kuti paanoonekwa tive nokushinga uye tisinganyadziswi pamberi pake pakuuya kwake.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
Kana muchiziva kuti iye akarurama, munoziva kuti mumwe nomumwe anoita zvakarurama akaberekwa naye.
