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.
SAMA ko, mepukat i inting wong komail, pwe komail de wia dip, a ma amen wia dip, sauasa patail mia ren Sam, Iesus Kristus, me pung.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
Iei me tom en dip atail, a kaidin atail ta, pwe pil en toun sappa karos.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
I me kitail dedeki, me kitail asaer i, ma kitail kapwaiada kusoned akan.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Me inda: I asa i, ap sota kapwaiada a kusoned akan, i me likam amen, melel sota mi re a.
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:
A me kapwaiada a masan, i me limpok en Kot unsokelar re a, i me kitail asaki, me kitail udan sapwilim a.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Me kin inda: I potopot re a, mak eta, i en weweid wei dueta a kotin weweidier.
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.
Kompok kan, kaidin kusoned kap eu, me i inting wong komail, a kusoned en mas o, me mi re omail sang ni tapi o. Kusoned en mas, iei masan o, me komail ronger.
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.
Pil eu kusoned kap, me i inting wong komail, me melel re a o re omail, pwe rotorot mur tikitikla, a marain melel ap dakadar.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Me inda, me a mi ni marain, ap kailong kin ri a, nan a mimieta ni rotorot lel met.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Me kin pok ong ri a, pan mimieta ni marain, ap solar men kamakar mi re a.
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.
A me kin tataki ri a, mier ni rotorot, o weweid ni rotorot, ap kin sasa, wasa a kin ko ong ia, pwe rotorot karotongala mas a kan.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
I inting wong komail, sama ko, pwe dip omail lapwadar ki mar a.
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.
I inting wong komail, sam akan, pwe komail asa i, me kotikot eta sang ni tapi o. I inting wong komail manakap akan, pwe komail kaloedier me sued o. I inting wong komail er, sama ko, pwe komail asaer Sam.
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.
I inting wong komail er, sam akan, pwe komail asa i, me kotikot sang ni tapi o. I inting wong komail er, manakap akan, pwe komail me kelail, o masan en Kot en mimieta re omail, o komail kaloedier me sued o.
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.
Der pok ong sappa, de dipisou mimi sappa. Ma amen pok ong sappa, limpok en Sam me sota mi re a.
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.
Pwe meakaros mi sappa, inong en ni uduk, o inong en ni mas oko, o lingan mal en maur, a sota tapida sang ren Sam, a sang ni sappa.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
A sappa pan sorola o a me sued akan, a me wia kupur en Kot, pan mimieta kokolata. (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.
Sama ko, metet imwin auer o, o duen omail ronger, me kristus likam pan pwarado, nan ansau wet kristus likam me toto, me pwaradar, i me kitail asaki, met imwin auer leler.
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.
Irail me kola sang kitail, a kaidin kis atail, pwe ma irail kis atail, re pan mimieta re atail. A irail kola sang kitail, pwen sansal, me kaidin irail karos kis atail.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
A komail keidier ren me saraui, o komail asaer meakaros.
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.
I sota inting wong komail er, dene sota asa duen melel, a pwe komail asa, o likam so tapida sang ni melel.
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.
Is me likam amen? Kaidin i, me kamamada me Iesus udan Kristus. I me kristus likam, me kamama kida Sam o Na.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Amen amen, me kamam kida Na, nan Sam pil sota mi re a, a me ponasa Na, i me pil sapwilim en Sam.
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.
Me komail ronger sang ni tapi o, en potopoteta re omail. Ma a pan mimi re omail, me komail ronger sang ni tapi o, komail ap pil pan potopot ren Na o Sam.
A iet inau o, me a kotin inauki ong kitail er: Maur soutuk. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Mepukat me i inting wong komail er duen irail, me kasapunge komail.
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.
A omail kei, me komail aleer re a, pan mimieta re omail. Komail ap solar mau ong, amen en padaki ong komail. A duen kei wet kin padaki ong komail meakaros, iduen me melel, a kaidin likam pot, o duen a padaki ong komail er, iduen komail en dadaurata.
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.
Ari sama ko, podidi ong i, pwe ni a pan kotin pwarado, kitail en aima, a so namenok mo a, ni a kotin pwarado.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Ma komail asa, me i me pung, komail en pil asa, meamen, me wia me pung, me ipwi sang i er.
