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.
Shi ahanaa am acicinca, imum igeme sa ma nyertike shi ni barki kati iwuzi imum iburi. Ingi uye ma wuza imum iburi tizin unu nu ubenki ahira uvanah asere unu zatu madini.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
Me mani maa nya nice ni meme barki akpici madini maru, d aki maru cas ba, barki mu une vat.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
Barki ani me, ti rusa me, ingi ti inso tize ti meme.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Desa ma guna, “In rusa Asere,” ingi inki mada inso me tize time me, una macico mani. Kadure ka zome anyimo me ba.
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:
Vat desa ma canti tize ta Asere, kadure me mani ma tarsa Asere. Utarsa ukadure ane ani tidi rusi ti raa anyimo ameme.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Koda vi desa ma guna ma ciki anyimo Asere, me inni ce nimeme ca ma cukuno gussi Asere me.
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.
Shi nihenu daki imum isoo ini ma nyertike shi ni ba, imum igino ini sa isa russa dati, tize ta Asere sa yamu kunna.
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.
Har kani tize tiso tigino me tini izini nyetike ushi nin, tize me kadure kani ahira Asere nan ahira shi, barki maree mazinu agiza, masaa manzinu bara ahira.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Desa maguna ma raa anyimo masaa ma game uhenu umeme ma daza anyimo amareu a'ana me.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Desa ma nyara uhenu, ma ciki anyimo a masaa, i mum ipilko i zome ahira ame ba.
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.
Unu game uhenu, ma raa ama ree, a nyimo amree mani ma haka ni, ma taa me ahira sa ma patala, barki maree ma wuna me irubo.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Ma nyertike shi ni ahana iriba im, barki a kpico madini mashi me anyimo aniza nimeme.
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.
Shi ananu ma nyertike shi nin barki sa irusa me, desa mazi datti utuba, shi masoo ma nyertike shi ni barki ya re nikara ninu uburi. Ma nyertike shi nin ahana acinci, barki irusa aco me. Ma nyertike shi nin ananu, barki irusa me desa marani datti unu tuba.
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.
M a nyertike shi nin masoo barki sa izin ini kara tize ta Asere ti ciki anyimo ashi me. Ya re nikara ninu uburi.
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.
Kati i tarsi une ba, nani imum me sa sa ira anyimo une vat desa ma tarsa une daki ma hem in Asere ba.
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.
Barki vat imum me sa ira anyimo kasi katuma kani pum, mei maje, ubezi ubari, daa katuma Asere kani ba ku une kani.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
Une udi mari nan timum me vat. Desa ma tarsa tize ta Asere madi vengize sarki ibinani. (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.
Shi ahana am uganiya umara une wa aye, kasi ya kunna unu ishina Asere ma eze, ana me anu ishina ya Asere wamu, barki ane ani ta tinka tiye ti maraa une tini.
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.
Wa suro anyimo aru, datti daki aru wani wazi tida zo me nigome nan we, wa suro barki wa bezi une wa zo me anyimo aru ba.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Shi vat, unu lau ma kpico shi, vat ushi irusa kadure me.
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.
Ma nyertike shi sa ida tashi kadure kani ba, ko cin barki ikuri irusa kadure, i da zome macico ba.
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.
Aveni una macico, nani desa ma game yesu vana Ugomo Asere? Unu ugino me mani unu zati madini uhem in Yesu, me mani unu game aco wan vana ume. Desa ma hem in vana me makem aco me.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Vat desa ma game vana me, ma game aco me cangi, desa ma hem in vana me, ma hem in kaco me.
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.
Kasi shi, ca imum me sa ya kunna datti, i cukuno anyimo ashi.
Ingi imum me sa ya kunna datti ya cukuno anyimo ashi idi cukuno anyimo a vana me wan ka co me. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Ma inko tize ti ge me barki an desa wa nyara uranga ushi.
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.
Shi, uvisa ugeme sa ya kem ahira ameme ura anyimo ashi me, ida kuri i nyari uye sa madi dungurka shi ba. Kasi uvisa ugino me une uni udungura shi ko nyani, kadure kani daki macico ba, gusi sa a dungurka shi, cukuno nin anyimo udungura me.
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.
A'ana me, shi ahana am, cukuno nin anyimo ameme, barki ingi ma aye ma kem duru in nikara kati i cukuno imu i aje ameme ingi ma aye.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
I rusa me unu zatu uma dini mani, d esa ma wuza imum iriri ayo me anyimo Asere ani.
