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.
Ana susue ngga re! Au suraꞌ fo ufadꞌe basa ia ra, naa fo ama misodꞌa sudꞌi boe tao salaꞌ fai. Te mete ma hambu mana tao salaꞌ, dei fo hambu mana masalaꞌe hita sia Amaꞌ Lamatualain matan. Eni, Yesus Kristus, Atahori Meumareꞌ fo Lamatualain haitua nema sia raefafoꞌ ia.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
Ana mate dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee neu nggita, fo Lamatualain fee ambon neu sala-kilu tara. Nda fee neu akaꞌ a hita sa, te fee neu basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
Hita bubꞌuluꞌ tae, hita tahine Lamatuaꞌ no malole, mete ma hita tungga Eni parenda nara.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Atahori bisa olaꞌ rae, “Au uhine Lamatualain.” Te mete ma eni nda tao tungga Lamatuaꞌ parendan sa, na, eni mana peko-lelekoꞌ mana olaꞌ laen te tao laen.
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:
Te atahori mana tao tungga Lamatua parendan, naa dadꞌi bukti oi, eni sue tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Lamatuaꞌ ena. No taꞌo naa, hita bubꞌuluꞌ tae, hita ia ra, Lamatuaꞌ atahorin.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Dadꞌi mete ma atahori sa olaꞌ nae, “Au usodꞌa uꞌubꞌue o Lamatualain,” na, eni masodꞌan musi onaꞌ Yesus Kristus.
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.
Ana susue ngga re! Parendaꞌ fo au suraꞌ ia, nda dala feuꞌ soaꞌ neu nggi sa. Huu parendaꞌ ia memaꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ Hara-liin fo hei rena mia lele uluꞌ a.
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.
Mae taꞌo naa o, te hambu dala feuꞌ fo au ae suraꞌ soꞌal Lamatuaꞌ parendan ia. Parendaꞌ ia laoꞌ no matetuꞌ sia Yesus masodꞌan ena. Ma parendaꞌ ia laoꞌ sia hei ena, huu hatuꞌ mana sia rala mara mopo hendi ena, ma manggarelo matetuꞌ a naronda sia masodꞌa mara ena.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Atahori sa bisa olaꞌ nae, “Au usodꞌa sia manggareloꞌ a.” Te mete ma eni mburu-oeꞌ no toronoon, na, naa dadꞌi tanda oi, eni feꞌe nasodꞌa sia maꞌahatuꞌ a.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Huu atahori mana nasodꞌa sia manggareloꞌ a, ana musi sue toronoo nara, ma nda hambu deꞌulaka saa sa boe sia ralan fo naꞌatutudꞌaꞌ e.
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.
Naa de, mete ma hambu atahori mburu-oeꞌ no toronoon, naa dadꞌi tanda oi, eni nasodꞌa sia maꞌahatuꞌ a. Eni laoꞌ hama-hama, huu maꞌahatuꞌ a tao matan poke ena.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Ana ngga re! Au suraꞌ susura ia fee neu nggi, huu Kristus mate soaꞌ neu nggi ena, ma Lamatualain fee ambon neu sala-kilu mara ena.
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.
Ina-ama lasiꞌ re! Au suraꞌ susura ia fee neu nggi, huu hei mihine Yesus Kristus, mana sia eniꞌ a lele uluꞌ a. Ana feto-monetenaꞌ re! Au suraꞌ susura ia fee neu nggi, huu hei mitati labꞌan deꞌulaka manaseliꞌ a, losa hei misenggiꞌ e.
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.
Ana ngga re! Au suraꞌ susura ia fee neu nggi, huu hei mihine Amaꞌ Lamatualain. Ina-ama lasiꞌ re! Au suraꞌ susura ia fee neu nggi, huu hei mihine Yesus Kristus, mana sia eniꞌ a leleꞌ uluꞌ a. Ana feto-monetenaꞌ re! Au suraꞌ susura ia fee neu nggi, huu hei mbedaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ Hara-liin sia rala mara ena, losa hei dadꞌi maꞌadꞌereꞌ, ma mitati labꞌan deꞌulaka manaseliꞌ a, losa misenggiꞌ e.
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.
Hei afiꞌ sue raefafoꞌ hihii-nanaun, ma raefafoꞌ sudꞌiꞌ a saa nara. Te atahori mana sue raefafoꞌ a, nda bisa sue Amaꞌ Lamatualain sa.
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.
Saa mana sia raefafoꞌ ia nda naꞌena huu-pataꞌ no Lamatualain sa. Conto onaꞌ, atahori mana nasodꞌa tao namahoꞌoꞌ a aon; atahori mana bare-naꞌo; ma atahori mana koaoꞌ huu hata-heton. Dalaꞌ naa ra nda raꞌoka sia Amaꞌ Lamatualain sa. Te raꞌoka siaꞌ a raefafoꞌ a.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
Tao-tao te, dei fo raefafoꞌ ia mopo hendi e, belaꞌ no basa dalaꞌ fo atahori hiiꞌ a sanggaꞌ ra. Te atahori mana hiiꞌ a tao tungga Lamatualain hihii-nanaun, ana nda mopo sa, te dei fo nasodꞌa nakandoo. (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.
Ana ngga re! Fai-fai mateteꞌen deka-deka ena. Hei rena ena oi, atahori mana labꞌan Kristus dei fo sou nema. Tao-tao te ara sia memaꞌ ena. Te hambu mana labꞌan Kristus sia bee-bꞌee ena. Naa dadꞌi tanda oi, fai-fai mateteꞌen deka-deka ena.
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.
Mana labꞌan ra laoꞌ mia hita taladꞌan. Tao-tao te, sira nda hita atahori nara sa. Te mete ma sira tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ hita atahori nara, naa, tantu ara nda lao hela nggita sa. Te raꞌatataaꞌ rakandoo ro nggita. Te ara fela lao ena. Dadꞌi naa manggareloꞌ ena, Sira, nda hita atahori nara sa, to?
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Te hei nda onaꞌ se sa. Huu hei simbo mala Lamatuaꞌ Atahori Meumaren Dula-dalen ena. Ma Ana o tulu-fali nala nggi ena, fo basa nggi mihine dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a.
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.
Seꞌu te hei mae au suraꞌ susura ia, huu au ae neꞌo hei nda mihine dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a sa, do? Hokoꞌ! Huu hei mihine ena, na! Hei mihine bee ndoo-tetuꞌ a, ma bee pepeko-lelekoꞌ.
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.
Tao-tao te, hambu mana laka-heseꞌ ra lao-laoꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia. Taꞌo bee fo bisa tahine se? Sira, naeni atahori mana olaꞌ rae, Yesus naa, nda Kristus sa. Tungga sira, Yesus nda atahori Meumareꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ helu memaꞌ fo nae haitua nemaꞌ a. Atahori mana olaꞌ raꞌo naa, labꞌan Kristus, huu ara nda simbo Amaꞌ Lamatualain no Anan sa.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Atahori nda mana simbo Lamatualain Anan sa, na, ara o nda simbo Eni Aman sa boe. Te mete ma atahori rataa Lamatualain Anan, na, ara o dadꞌi Lamatualain ana nara ena boe.
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.
Dadꞌi hei musi toꞌu mikindoo saa fo rena mia lele uluꞌ a. No taꞌo naa, hei nenepaꞌaꞌ mikindoo mo Amaꞌ Lamatualain no Anan.
Ana o helu-fuli no nggita nae, dei fo hita tasodꞌa takandoo to E. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Au suraꞌ susura ia fo mihine soꞌal atahori rae eꞌedik nggi.
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.
Hei simbo Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren ena, ma hei o misodꞌa miꞌibꞌue mo E ena. Dadꞌi hei nda parlu atahori laen ranori nggi sa ena. Huu Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen dai ena, huu Ana bisa nanori basa dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra. Ana nda peko-lelekoꞌ, onaꞌ mana eꞌedik naa ra sa. Dadꞌi toꞌu mihereꞌ neu saa fo Ana nanoriꞌ a ena, fo hei misodꞌa ralaꞌ esa mikindoo mo Kristus.
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.
Taꞌo ia, ana ngga re! Hei musi misodꞌa miꞌibꞌue mikindoo mo Kristus. Naa fo Ana baliꞌ nema, na, hei nda mimitau ma mae-maeꞌ mimbiriꞌ sia matan sa.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Huu hei bubꞌuluꞌ mae, Ana soa taoꞌ a ndoo-tetuꞌ ra, naeni de hei o bisa bubꞌuluꞌ mae, basa atahori mana tao tungga ndoo-tetuꞌ ra, ara o dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ ana nara boe.
