1 John 2
1 My children, I am writing to you to keep you from sinning. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the righteous.
Ta nayto, nagara hintte oothonna mela taani hayssa hinttew xaafays. Shin oonikka nagara oothiko Aawa matan nuus gaannatiya Xilloy, Yesuus Kiristtoosi, de7ees.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
Nu nagaray Kiristtoosa baggara atto geetettees. I nu nagaraa xalaalas gidonnashin, asa ubbaa nagaraas yarshshettis.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
Nuuni Xoossaa kiitaa naagikko, sidhey baynnashin, tuma nu iya eroos.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Oonikka, “Taani iya erays” yaagishe, iya kiitaa naagonna ixxiko he uray worddanchcho; tumatethi iyan baawa.
5 But the person who keeps God’s word, in them the love of God has indeed reached its perfection. This is how we can be sure we are in him:
Shin iya qaalas nu kiitettiyabaa gidikko he uray Xoossaa siiqiya siiqoy polo gidees. Nuuni Xoossan de7eyssas hessi baw tuma markka.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Taani, “Xoossan de7ays” giya oonikka Kiristtoosi de7idayssada daanaw bessees.
7 Dear friends, it is no new command that I am writing to you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. That old command is the message you have already heard.
Ta siiqo ishato, taani hinttew koyroppe de7iya gal77a kiitaa xaafaysippe attin ooratha kiita xaafikke. Ikka hintte si7ida he gal77a kiitaa.
8 Yet, in a way, it is a new command that I am writing to you – which is shown true in Christ’s life and in yours – for the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
Gidikkoka, Kiristtoosaninne hinttenan tuma gididi de7iya, ooratha kiitaa xaafays. Dhumay kichchin, ha77i tuma poo7oy poo7ees.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
“Poo7on de7ays” gishe ba ishaa ixxiya oonikka, ha77ika dhuman de7ees.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Ba ishaa dosiya oonikka poo7on de7ees. He uran hara asi dhubbiyabay baawa.
11 The person who hates is in the dark. They stumble along in the darkness; they do not know where they are going because the darkness blinds them.
Shin ba ishaa ixxiya oonikka dhuman de7ees; dhuman hamuttees. Dhumay iya ayfiyaa qooqisida gisho aw biyakko erenna.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Ta nayto, Kiristtoosa sunthaa baggara hintte nagaray atto geetettida gisho taani hinttew xaafays.
13 Parents, I am writing to you because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I am writing to you because you have conquered the evil one. Children, I write to you because you have come to know the Father.
Aawato, koyroppe de7iya, iya hintte erida gisho hinttew xaafays. Yalagato, Xalahiya hintte xoonida gisho hinttew xaafays.
14 Parents, I write to you because you have learned to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I write to you because you are strong, and God’s message is always in your hearts, and you have conquered the evil one.
Guutha nayto, Xoossaa hintte erida gisho hinttew xaafays. Aawato, koyroppe de7iya iya hintte erida gisho hinttew xaafays. Yalagato, hintte mino gidiya gisho, Xoossaa qaalay hinttenan de7iya gishonne Xalahiya hintte xoonida gisho hinttew xaafays.
15 Do not love the world or what the world can offer. When anyone loves the world, there is no love for the Father in them.
Alame woykko alamen de7iyabaa dosoppite. Alamiya dosiya oonikka Xoossaa dosenna.
16 For all that the world can offer – the desires for physical pleasure, the enticements to the eye, the arrogance of wealth – belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.
Alamen de7iya ubbabay, asho amotethi, ayfen be7idi amottiyabaynne miishen ceeqetethi alamebaappe attin Xoossaafe gidenna.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
Alameynne alamen asi amottiya ubbay aadhdhana, shin Xoossaa sheniya poliya oonikka merinaw daana. (aiōn g165)
18 My children, it is the last hour. You were told that an antichrist was coming; and many antichrists have already arisen. This is why we know that this is the last hour.
Ta nayto, wodiya wurssethay matattis. Kiristtoosa morkkey sinthafe yaanayssa hintte si7idayssada hari attoshin, ha77ika iya morkketi daroti denddidosona. Hessa gisho, wodiya wurssethay matattidayssa nuuni hessan eroos.
19 These people come from our ranks, but they were never truly part of us – if they had been then they would have stayed with us. They left so it would be clear that none of them really belonged to us.
He morkketi nu bagga gidonna gisho nu giddofe keyidosona. Entti nu bagga gidiyakko nu giddon de7ana, shin enttafe oonikka nu bagga gidonnayssi erettana mela nu giddofe keyidosona.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Shin Kiristtoosi hintte bolla Geeshsha Ayyaana gussis; qassi hintte ubbay tumaa ereeta.
21 I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie can come from the truth.
Tumaa hintte eriya gishonne tuman aybi worddoy baynnayssa hintte eriya gisho, taani hinttew xaafaysippe attin tumaa hintte eronna gisho gidenna.
22 Who is a liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? That person is the antichrist – one who rejects the Father and the Son.
Yesuusi, Xoossay dooridayssa gidenna gidi kaddiya asappe hari worddanchchoy oonee? Hessa mela asi Kiristtoosa morkke. I na7aa kaddiko Aawakka kaddees.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Na7aa kaddiya oodeskka Aaway baawa; qassi Na7aas markkattiya oodeskka Aaway de7ees.
24 As for you, you must let what you have heard from the beginning continue to live in you. If what you heard from the beginning dwells in you, you will remain both in the Son and the Father.
Hessa gisho, koyro hintte si7ida qaala hintte wozanan minthidi naagite. Koyro si7idayssa hintte naagikko hinttew Na7aaranne Aawara issifetethi daana.
Na7ay nuus merinaa de7uwa immana gidi qaala gelis. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Hinttena balethiya asaa gisho taani hayssa hinttew xaafas.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains with you. You do not need anyone to teach you. His anointing teaches you about everything. What it teaches you is true, it is not a lie. Do what it has taught you: abide in him.
Shin Kiristtoosi hintte bolla ba Geeshsha Ayyaana gussis. Geeshsha Ayyaanay hinttenan de7iya gisho oonikka hinttena tamaarsso koshshenna. Iya Geeshsha Ayyaanay hinttena tumaa tamaarsseesippe attin worddo gidenna. Geeshsha Ayyaanay hinttena tamaarssidayssada Kiristtoosan de7ite.
28 Yes, my children, remain in him, so that when he appears our confidence doesn’t fail us, and we are not ashamed to meet him at his coming.
Hiza, ta nayto, I qoncciya wode nuuni yashshi baynnanne iya yuussaa gallas iya sinthan nu yeellan qosettona mela iyan de7ite.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Kiristtoosi xillo gideyssa hintte erikko xillo oothiya ubbay Xoossaa na7a gideyssa erite.
