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.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
Ukilisite ujuo ghwe litekelo lino likutupeleleela kupyanilivua uvuhosi, vwiitu na u Nguluve, nakwekuuti vuhosi vwiitu vweene, looli nuvuhosi vwa vaanhu vooni.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
Natuvingilila indaghilo sa Nguluve, apuo kyang'haani tuva tun'kagwile umwene
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Umunhu juno iiti, “Ankagwile u Nguluve,” neke navivingilila indaghilo sake, ujuo n'desi, navuvwakyang'ani na mwevule mun'kate mwamwene.
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:
Looli umuunhu ghweni juno ivingilila ilisiio, lya mwene u Nguluve, ujuo ghwejuno amughanile u Nguluve kyang'haani. Ikiinu kino kikutupelelela kukagula kuuti tuli mwah Nguluve kye iiki.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Umunhu juno iiti alimwa Nguluve avisaghe nuluvelo lunono ndavule u Yesu Kilisite alivuo.
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.
Vaghanike vango, nanikuvalembela ululaghilo ulupia, looli lwelula ulukulu luno mulyale nalwo kuhuma ye mukwitika. Ululaghilo ulu jemola jila jino mulyapulike.
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.
Neke ulubale lunge ululaghilo ulu luno nikuvalembela lupia, luno uvwakyang'haani vwake vuvoneka mwakilisite na mun'kate mulyumue, ulwakuva ing'iisi jivuka, ulumuli lwa kyang'haani lumulika.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Umuunhu juno iiti alimulumuli neke namughanile unyalukolo ghwa mwene ujuo ajighe mung'iisi.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Neke umuunhu juno ikumughana unyalukolo ghwa mwene ujuo alimulumuli mun'kate mwamwene namwekile nambe kimonga ikyakum'pelela kuhoka.
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.
Loooli umuunhu juno namughanile unyalukolo ghwa mwene alimung'iisi ighenda mung'iisi; Umwene naikagwile kuno iluta, ulwakuva ing'iisi jikupikiile.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Nikuvalembela umue, mwevaana vaghane, ulwakuva mupyanilue uvuhosi vwiinu mulitavua lya mwene Yesu Kilisite.
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.
Nikuvalembela umue, mwe va Nhata, ulwakuva mukagwile u Yesu Kilisite juno kwealyale kuhuma kuvutengulilo. Nikuvalembela umue, vasoleka, ulwakuva mumulemilemumulemile umhosi u setano. Nivalembile umue, mwevaana vadebe, ulwakuva mun'kagwile u Nhata.
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.
Nivalembile umue, va Nhaata, ulwakuvaulwakuva mun'kagwile umwene juno alyale kuhuma kuvutengulilo. Nivalembile umue, vasoleka, ulwakuva muliningufu, mugadilile ilisiio lya Nguluve, kange mumuleme umhosi u setano.
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.
Lino mulekaghe kukujighana iisi nambenambe kukusighana isa mu iisi. Nave umuunhu ikujighana iisi, ulughano ulwakumughana u Nhaata nakwelule mu mwojo ghwake.
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.
Ulwakuva isa mu iisi se isi- uvunoghelua vwa m'bili, uvunoghelua uvwa kuuva nafyo fyooni fino ghukufyagha nu lughinio vwimila ikyuma sooni isio nasihuma kwa Nguluve u Nhaata looli sihuma mu iisi muno.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
Lisi palikimo nu vunoghelua vwake fikila. Looli umuunhu juno ivomba sino ikeela u Nguluve ujuo alivwumi uvwa kuvusila kusila. (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.
Vanango, ifigho ifya vusililo fifikile. Mukapulike Kati umulugu ghwa Kilisite ikwisa, nambe lino avalugu viinga va Kilisite pwevale, mumu uluo tukagula kuuti ifighono ifya vusililo fifikile.
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.
Avalugu avuo vahumile mufipugha fiitu, ifya vitiki neke navakele nu vumo uvwa kyang'haani nusue, ulwakuvaulwakuva vale vaave nu vumo uvwa kyang'haanikyang'haani nusue, ngalivajighe palikimo nusue neke vwimila kuvuka avaanhu avuo luvonike pavuvalafu kuuti navakale vumo nusue.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Neke umue u Nguluve avapelile u Mhepo u Mwimike, lino mukaguile uvwa kyang'haani.
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.
Nanilyavalembile umue, nakwekuuti namukaguile uvwa kyang'haani, loolilooli ulwakuva munkagwile kange munkagwile kuuti nakwevule uvudesi vuno vuhuma mu vwakyang'ani.
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.
Umuunhu un'desi ghwe veeni umuunhu n'desi ghwe juno iiti u Yesu naghwe Kilisite? Ujuo ghwe mulugu ghwa Kilisite ikunkana u Nguluve u Nhaata nu mwanake.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Nakwale juno ikun'kanaikun'kana umwana ave nu Nhata. Gheghwoni juno ikumwitika u mwana kange ali nu Nhaata.
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.
Ndavule mu vwimila vwiinu, kila kino muulyapulike kuhua kuvutengulilo mukileke kiive mun'kate mulyumue, ndavu kila kino mupulike kuhuma kuvutengulilo kikukala mun'kate mulyumue, kange, mukukala mun'kate mwa mwanaake nu Nhaata.
Mu uluo tuva nu vwumi uvwa kuvusila kusila vuno u Kilisite alyatulaghile kukutupeela. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Nivalembile umue imola ija vwimila avaanhu vano vilonda kukuvasofia.
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.
Umue u Nguluve avapelile u Mhepo u Mwimike u Mhepo ujuo ikukala n'kate mulyumue, ghwejuno ikuvavulanisia sooni ulwakuva imbulaniso sake nasavudesi looli sa kyang'haani lino namulondua kuvavulanisivua nu junge ulwene muvingililaghe imbulanisio sa Mhepo u Mwimike mujighaghe mwa Kilisite.
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.
Lino, vanango mukale mun'kate mwa mwene, kuuti unsiki ghuno alava igomoka, tulekeghe kukwoghopa name kuvona sooni pa maso ghake.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Nambe mukagwile kuuti umwene ghwe mugholofu, mukagwile kuuti umuunhu ghweni juno ivomba isa vughofu ujuo aholilue numwene.
