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.
Anaka, izany zavatra izany no soratako ny aminareo mba tsy hanotanareo. Ary raha misy manota, dia manana Solovava ao amin’ ny Ray isika, dia Jesosy Kristy, Ilay Marina;
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
ary Izy no avotra noho ny fahotantsika, ary tsy noho ny antsika ihany, fa noho ny an’ izao tontolo izao koa.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
Ary izao no ahafantarantsika fa mahalala Azy isika, dia ny fitandremana ny didiny.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Izay manao hoe: Fantatro Izy, nefa tsy mitandrina ny didiny, dia mpandainga, ary ny marina tsy ao anatiny.
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:
Fa na iza na iza mitandrina ny teniny, dia tanteraka ao aminy marina tokoa ny fitiavana an’ Andriamanitra izany no ahafantarantsika fa ao aminy isika.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Izay milaza fa mitoetra ao aminy izy, dia tsy maintsy mandeha toy izay nandehanany koa.
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.
Ry malala, tsy didy vaovao no soratako aminareo, fa didy ela, izay nanananareo hatramin’ ny voalohany. Ny didy ela dia izay teny efa renareo.
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.
Ary koa, didy vaovao no soratako aminareo, dia zavatra marina eo aminy sy eo aminareo, satria miala ny maizina, ary ny mazava marina no mahazava ankehitriny.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Izay milaza fa ao amin’ ny mazava izy, kanefa mankahala ny rahalahiny, dia mbola ao amin’ ny maizina ihany.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Izay tia ny rahalahiny no mitoetra ao amin’ ny mazava, ka tsy misy fahatafintohinana ao aminy.
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.
Fa izay mankahala ny rahalahiny dia ao amin’ ny maizina ary mandeha ao amin’ ny maizina ka tsy mahalala izay alehany, satria ny maizina no efa nahajamba ny masony.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Manoratra aminareo zanaka aho, satria voavela ny helokareo noho ny anarany.
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.
Manoratra aminareo ray aho, satria efa mahalala Ilay hatramin’ ny voalohany ianareo. Manoratra aminareo zatovo aho, satria efa naharesy ilay ratsy ianareo. Nanoratra taminareo ankizy madinika aho satria efa mahalala ny Ray ianareo.
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.
Nanoratra taminareo ray aho, satria efa nahalala Ilay hatramin’ ny voalohany ianareo. Nanoratra taminareo zatovo aho, satria mahery ianareo, ary mitoetra ao anatinareo ny tenin’ Andriamanitra, sady efa naharesy ilay ratsy ianareo.
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.
Aza tia izao tontolo izao, na izay zavatra eo amin’ izao tontolo izao. Raha misy olona tia izao tontolo izao dia tsy ao anatiny ny fitiavana ny Ray.
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.
Fa ny zavatra rehetra eo amin’ izao tontolo izao, dia ny filan’ ny nofo sy ny filan’ ny maso ary ny rehaka momba izao fiainana izao, dia tsy avy amin’ ny Ray, fa avy amin’ izao tontolo izao ihany.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
Ary mandalo izao fiainana izao sy ny filany; fa izay manao ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra no maharitra mandrakizay. (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.
Rankizy, izao no ora farany, ary tahaka ny efa renareo fa ho avy ny antikristy, sady maro no antikristy efa tonga sahady; koa izany no ahafantarantsika fa izao no ora farany.
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.
Avy tamintsika ihany no niala ireo, nefa tsy mba namantsika izy; fa raha tàhiny namantsika izy, dia ho nitoetra tamintsika ihany; fa efa niala izy, mba haseho fa tsy isantsika izy rehetra.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Fa ianareo kosa manana hosotra avy amin’ ilay Masìna ka mahalala ny zavatra rehetra.
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.
Tsy noho ny tsy ahafantaranareo ny marina no nanoratako taminareo, fa noho ny ahafantaranareo izany sy noho ny tsi-fisiana lainga avy amin’ ny marina.
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.
Iza no mpandainga, afa-tsy ilay mandà an’ i Jesosy tsy ho Kristy? Izy no antikristy, dia izay mandà ny Ray sy ny Zanaka.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Izay rehetra mandà ny Zanaka no tsy manana ny Ray koa; izay manaiky ny Zanaka no manana ny Ray koa.
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.
Ary ny aminareo, dia izay efa renareo hatramin’ ny voalohany no aoka hitoetra ao anatinareo. Raha mitoetra ao anatinareo izay efa renareo hatramin’ ny voalohany, dia hitoetra ao amin’ ny Zanaka sy ny Ray kosa ianareo.
Ary izao no teny fikasana izay nataony tamintsika, dia ny fiainana mandrakizay. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Izany zavatra izany no voasoratro taminareo ny amin’ ny mamitaka anareo.
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.
Ary ny aminareo, dia ilay hosotra noraisinareo taminy no mitoetra ao aminareo, ka tsy mila hampianarin’ olona ianareo; fa satria ny hosotra avy aminy no mampianatra anareo ny zavatra rehetra, sady marina, fa tsy lainga izany, dia tomoera ao aminy ianareo, araka ny nampianarany anareo.
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.
Ary ankehitriny, anaka, tomoera ao aminy, mba hananantsika fahasahiana, raha hiseho Izy, ka tsy ho menatra eo anatrehany amin’ ny fihaviany.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Raha fantatrareo fa marina Izy, dia fantaro fa izay rehetra manao ny marina no zanany naterany.
