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.
Wana wangu yanuwafira, nuwalembera vitwatira avi su namtenda vidoda. Kumbiti muntu pakatenda vidoda, twanayu ulii yakatuteteya kwa Tati, Yesu Kristu yakamfiriziya Mlungu.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
Yomberi ndo tambiku yayilaviwitwi kulekiziya vidoda vyetu, vidoda vyetu hera ndiri kumbiti na kulekiziya viraa vidoda vya wantu woseri wa pasipanu.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
Twenga twana unakaka kuwera tumumana Mlungu handa patugajimira malagaliru gakuwi.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Muntu pakatakula kuwera kamumana Mlungu, uganu kagajimira ndiri malagaliru gakuwi, muntu ayu kawera na upayira na unakaka kwahera mngati mwakuwi,
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:
Kumbiti muntu yoseri yakashijimira shisoweru sha Mlungu, ufiru wa Mlungu uwera teratera nakamu mngati mwakuwi. Ayi ndo ntambu yatuvimana nakaka kuwera tuwera mngati mwakuwi.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Muntu yoseri yakatakula kuwera kalikolerana pamuhera na Mlungu, kafiruwa kulikala gambira Yesu Kristu ntambu yakalikaliti.
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.
Waganja wangu, lilagaliru ali lyanuwalembera lyasyayi ndiri, kumbiti ndo lilagaliru liraa lilii ligona lyamuweriti nalu kwanjira kwanja. Lilagaliru ali ligona ndo ujumbi ulii wampikaniriti.
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.
Pamuhera na hangu, nankuwalembera lilagaliru lyasyayi na unakaka wakuwi woneka kwa yomberi na mngati mwenu, toziya luwindu lyankupita na ulangala ulii wa nakaka wanja kala kulangala.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Muntu yoseri yakatakula kuwera kamuulangala, uganu kankumkalalira mlongu gwaku, muntu ayu kankali muluwindu.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Muntu yoseri yakamfira mlongu gwakuwi, kankulikala muulangala na kwahera shintu shoseri mngati mwakuwi shakumtenda muntu gwingi katendi vidoda.
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.
Kumbiti muntu yakamkalalira mlongu gwakuwi kankulikala na kankutyanga muluwindu na kavimana ndiri kwakagenda, toziya luwindu limtenda lwisi.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Nuwalembera mwenga wana, toziya vidoda vyenu vilekiziwa kwa litawu lya Kristu.
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.
Nuwalembireni mwenga ashina tati, toziya mumumana Kristu yakaweriti kwanjira kwanja. Nuwalembera mwenga wantemba, toziya mumkanka Mkondola ulii.
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.
Nuwalembera mwenga wana toziya mumumana Tati. Nuwalembera mwenga ashina tati toziya mumumana Kristu ndo yakaweriti kwanjira kwanja. Nuwalembera mwenga wantemba toziya muwera na makakala na shisoweru sha Mlungu shilikala mungati mwenu na mumkanka Mkondola ulii.
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.
Namupafira pasipanu, ama shoseri shashiwera mupasipanu. Muntu yakapafira pasipanu, ufira wa Tati kwahera mngati mwakuwi.
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.
Toziya kila shintu shashiwera mupasipanu, matamata zidoda zya nshimba, matamata zidoda zya masu, msindu gwagujegwa na ulunda, vyoseri avi vilawa ndiri kwa Tati, kumbiti vilawa mupasipanu.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
Pasipanu pamuhera na matamata zoseri zyaziwera mngati mwakuwi vyankupita, kumbiti muntu yakatenda mafiliru ga Mlungu, yomberi kankulikala mashaka goseri. (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.
Wana wangu, ashi ndo shipindi sha upeleru. Ntambu yampikaniriti kuwera Mngondu gwa Kristu kankwiza, su wangondu wa Kristu wasoka kala. Toziya ayi twenga tuvimana kuwera shipindi sha upeleru shapakwegera.
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.
Womberi walawiti kwa twenga, kumbiti waweriti ndiri nakaka watwenga. Toziya mewaweri watwenga mewalikali na twenga, kumbiti kulawa kwawu kulanguziyiti kuwera kwahera ata yumu gwawu yakaweriti gwa twenga.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Kumbiti mwenga muwanka Rohu Mnanagala kulawa kwa Kristu, na mwenga mwawoseri muwumana unakaka.
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.
Su nuwalembera ndiri toziya muwumana ndiri unakaka, kumbiti muwumana na mwenga muvimana kuwera kwahera upayira woseri yawulawiti muwunakaka.
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.
Gaa yakawera mpayu? Mpayu ndo ulii yakalema kuwera Yesu ndo Kristu ndiri. Muntu gwa ntambu ayi kawera mngondu gwa Kristu, toziya kankumlema Tati na Mwana.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Toziya muntu yoseri yakamlema Mwana, kamlema Tati viraa na muntu yoseri yakamjimira Mwana, su kamjimira na Tati viraa.
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.
Muloli weri kuwera shilii shampikiniriti kwanjira kwanja na shilikali mumyoyu mwenu. Handa ujumbi awu yamuwupikaniriti kwanjira kwanja paukala mngati mwenu, su mulikala mashaka goseri mukulikolerana na Mwana na Tati.
Na Kristu mweni katupananiti lagilu lyakatugambiriti twenga kuwera hakatupanani ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Nuwalembera vitwatira avi kuusu wantu walii yawajera kuwapotuziya.
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.
Kumbiti mwenga mumwankiti Rohu Mnanagala kulawa kwa Kristu, kalikala mngati mwenu. Na Rohu ayu ntambu yakalikala mngati mwenu, mufiriziwa ndiri kufundwa na muntu yoseri. Toziya Rohu gwakuwi kankuwafunda vitwatira vyoseri na mafundu gakuwi ndo ganakaka, gapayira ndiri. Su mugakoli mafundu ga Rohu ayu na musigali kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu.
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.
Mwawana yanuwafira, mwendereyi kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu, su yomberi pakalawira twenga tuweri na ugangamala pota kuwera na toziya ya twenga kulififa kwa soni lishaka lya kwiza kwakuwi.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Muvimana kuwera Kristu kamfiriziya nentu Mlungu, su mfiruwa kuvimana viraa kuwera kila muntu yakamfiriziya Mlungu, kawera mwana gwa Mlungu.
