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.
Ngoogv umvuu vdwv, ngoogv sum lvkdung dunv si, ngo nonua rimur moku mare vla; vbvrijvka yvvdw rimur ridubolo, ngonu lvgabv Abua minji jinv akin go ngonu gvlo doodu— vv Jisu Kristo, darwkchongjornv angv.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
Okv Kristo atubogv vbvrinam vv ninyi ngonugv rimur am mvngnga jinam lvgabv, okv ngonugv rimur mvngchik um twkma, vbvritola mvnwng gv rimur mvnwng aka mvngnga jiduku.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
Ngonu Pwknvyarnv gv gamki nama tvvdu bolo, vbvribolo vv ngonu ninyia jvjvklvbv chinrungdu
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Ngonu ninyia chirungdunv vla mindula vbvritola ninyigv gamki kolo tvvmabv ribolo, ngonu mvvnvrunv gobv ridukunv okv oogv jvjv ngv ngonugv arwng lo dooma dunv.
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:
Vbvritola ninyigv gamchar am tvvdu bolo, vv Pwknvyarnvnyi paknamv jvjvklvbv rvbwngchingnv akobv rirungdunv. Ngonu Pwknvyarnvnyi akingobv ridunv vnam sum vbv ngonu alvbv ngonu chinsu lareku:
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Ngonu Pwknvyarnv gvlo akingobv ribvdoobv doonv vla mindunv, ngonu Jisu Kristo gv rinam aingchingbv rirungdubv ridu.
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.
Ngoogv aya minsunam ajin vdwv, soogv nonua lvkdungnam gamki si anwnv gaam ma; si kvvlogv nonugv akunv gamki go, akunv gamki si klu lokv nonugvlo dooto. Nonugv tvvrokunam doin angv hv akunv gamki ngv.
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.
Vbvrijvka, ngoogv vjakgv gamkinam lvknam si anwnv, ogulvgavbolo soogv jvjvnam sum Kristo gvlo kaapado okv nonugv ara loka sum kaapado. Vkvlvgavbolo kanv ngv nyeto kula okv jvjvrungnv loung ngv ungtoku.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Ngonu mindu ngonu loung lo ridunv vdula, vjvlodvbv kvvbia kaanwng madubolo vv vjakka kanvparam lo ngonu doobv dvdv dunv.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Ngonu kvvbia pakdu bolo, ngonu loung lo ridunv, okv vbvrinamv ngonu yvvnyika oguguka rimur dubv mvlwk lamare.
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.
Vbvritola ngonu kvvbia kaanwng mabv ribolo, vv ngonu kanv lo doodunv; ngonu hogv aralo vngdula okv ngonu ogolo vngdung dunvdw um ngonu chimadu, ogulvgavbolo kanv ngv ngonua nyikching mola ridu.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Ngoogv umvuu vdwv, Kristo gv amin bv nonugv rimur am mvngnga jitoku vkvlvgabv ngo so nonua lvkdunv.
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.
Abu vdwa, ngo nonua lvkdunv, ogulvgavbolo kvvlo lokv doodungnv yvvdw, um nonu chindu. Ngo nonua lvkdunv, nyipayapa vdwa, ogulvgavbolo nonu Alvmanv Anga rigum yatoku.
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.
Ngoogv umvuu vdwa, ngo nonua lvkdunv ogulagavbolo, nonu Abunyi chindu. Abu vdwa, ngo nonua lvkdunv, ogulvgavbolo ninyia kvvlo lokv doodung nvngv vla nonu chindu. Nyipayapa vdwa, ngo nonua lvkdunv, ogulvgavbolo nonu gwlwknvbv riduku; Pwknvyarnv gv gamcharv nonu gvlo doolwkdu okv nonu Alvmanv Anga rigum yatoku.
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.
Nonuno nyiamooku sum, vmajeka nyiamooku soogv ogumvnwng nga pakyoka. Nonu nyiamooku sum pakdu bolo, Abunyi paknamv nonu gvlo kaama.
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.
Ogumvngmwng ngv nyiamooku gvbv ridunv—ogugo atubogv lvgabv mvngmurla mvngdudw, ogugo nyiv kaadudw okv mvngbiu dudw okv nyi vdwgv kai mvngsunam ogumvnwng si nyiamooku sokv gvbv ridunv—si Abu lokv aama dunv; Soogv ogumvnwng si nyiamooku so lokv aadunv.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
Nyiamooku vla okv soogv ogumvnwng ngv nyi vdwgv mvngbiu namv nyedukunv; vbvritola yvvdw Pwknvyarnv gv mvnglwk lo ridunv vv doobwngre. (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.
Ngoogv umvuu vdwv, ataranya aluv nvchi duku! Nonu vbv mindu Kristo gv nyimak vv aarikv vbvto; okv vjak Kristo gv nyimak vv achialvbv aalwk pvku, okv vbvrinamv ataranya aluv nvchi dukunyi vla ngonu chinduku.
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.
Soogv nyi vdwsi jvjvklvbv ngonugv ribam akin mago, okv vkvlvgavbolo bunu vdwv ngonua kayutoku; bunu ngonu gvbv rila ribam nvgobv ribolo, bunu ngonugv lvkobv doobamla ripv nvpv. Vbvrijvka bunugv kayu pikula kilin kunamv bunua jvjvklvbv ngonu gvbv rima dukunv vla mimbwkvrwk nvdu kubv riduku.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Vbvritola nonu vdwgvlo Darwknv Dow am Jisu Kristo gv lokv pwlwkto, okv vkvlvgabv nonu mvnwng ngv jvjv nama chindu kunv.
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.
Vbvrikunamv, ngoogv nonua lvknam si nonu jvjvnga chima vla lvkma; Vbvmabvya, nonugv sum chinam lvgabv, okv nonuka sum chinsudu, mvvnam si vdwloka jvjv lokv lima dunv.
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.
Vbvkubolo, mvvnv ngv yvvkudw? So si Jisunyi Messiah makv vnv vdwv. Vkvnv vbv mindunv nyiv Kristo gv nyimak bv ridunv—bunu Abu okv Kuunyilo am anyi baabwng nga tulatua du.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Holvgabv yvvdw Kuunyilo am tulatua dudw vv Abu nyika tulatua dunv; yvvdw Kuunyilo am turwksidunv vv Abu nyika turwksidu.
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.
Vbvrikunamv, rirap lokv nonugv doin tvvnam am nonu haapok lo rvbwng alvbv kaaching pvvtoka. Nonu hogv doin am kaaching pvbolo, vbvribolo Kuunyilo gvlola okv Abu gvlo akin gobv doobvre.
Okv si Kristo ninyigv ngonua turbwng nama jinvpv vla milvpvvnamv. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Ngoogv nonua lvknam si yvvbunudw nonua kupdubv gwngdudw ho lvkwngbv si lvkdunv.
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.
Vbvrijvka nonugv lvgabv, Kristo ninyigv Darwknv dow am nonugv aolo pwlwk jito. Vdwlo gobv ninyigv darwknv dowv nonu gvlo dubv ridw, yvvka nonua tamsar dubv rinam kaamare. Ogulvgavbolo ninyigv darwknv dowv nonua ogumvnwng nga tamsarla rire, okv ogugo hv tamsar pvdw vv jvjvngv, vv mvvnam kaama. Dow gv tamsarnam um tvvlaka, okv Kristo gvlo vngdwng la akingobv ribv tvlaka.
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.
Okv ngoogv ayanam umvuu vdwv, ninyi gvlo akingobv doobv tvlaka, vkvlvgabv vdwlo hv atubonga kaatam la riyikudw ngonu achialvbv pwktvpwkru riku okv hvkvgv aadw lo ngonu ninyia hinyinghirula toosila rikurgo kaaku mare.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Nonu chinsudu Kristo Darwk nvgo vla; Vbvrikunamv, yvvdw tarwkbak namv ogudw um ridunv vv Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu bv ridunv vla nonu chirung tvlaka.
