1 Yochanan 2
1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counsellor with the Father, Yeshua the Messiah, the righteous.
Pitit mwen yo, m'ap ekri nou lèt sa a pou nou pa fè peche. Men, si yon moun rive fè peche, nou gen yon avoka k'ap plede pou nou bò kot Papa a: Se Jezikri, moun ki te mache dwat devan Bondye a.
2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
Paske, Jezikri te ofri tèt li tankou bèt yo ofri bay Bondye, pou Bondye te ka padonnen peche nou yo, pa peche pa nou yo ase, men peche tout moun tou.
3 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
Si nou fè sa Bondye mande nou fè, lè sa a nou mèt sèten nou konnen li.
4 One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.
Lè yon moun di: mwen menm, mwen konn Bondye, epi pou anmenmtan an li pa fè sa Bondye mande l' fè a, moun sa a se yon mantò. Verite a pa nan li.
5 But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:
Men, moun ki obeyi pawòl Bondye a, se moun sa a ki konmanse renmen Bondye tout bon vre. Men ki jan nou ka konnen nou fè yonn ak Bondye:
6 he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
Lè yon moun di li fè yonn ak Bondye, se pou l' viv tankou Jezi te viv la.
7 Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.
Mezanmi, se pa yon kòmandman tou nèf m'ap ban nou nan lèt sa a. Se menm ansyen kòmandman yo te ban nou depi nan konmansman an. Ansyen kòmandman sa a, se menm pawòl nou te tande deja a.
8 Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light already shines.
Men, nan yon sans, se yon kòmandman tou nèf m'ap ban nou la a. Nou wè kòmandman sa a se yon bagay k'ap aji tout bon nan lavi Kris la ak nan lavi pa nou tou, paske fènwa a ap pase, limyè tout bon an gen tan ap klere.
9 He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.
Moun ki di yo nan limyè epi pou anmenmtan yo rayi frè yo, moun konsa nan fènwa toujou.
10 He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
Se moun ki renmen frè yo ki nan limyè a. Konsa, pa gen anyen nan yo ki ka fè yon lòt tonbe nan peche.
11 But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Men, moun ki rayi frè yo, yo nan fènwa toujou. Y'ap mache nan fènwa, yo pa konnen kote yo prale, paske fènwa a rann yo avèg.
12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
Timoun mwen yo, m'ap ekri nou paske Bondye padonnen peche nou yo poutèt Jezikri.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
M'ap ekri nou, nou menm granmoun, paske nou konnen moun ki la depi nan konmansman an. M'ap ekri nou, nou menm jennmoun, paske nou kraze dyab la. M'ap ekri nou, nou menm timoun, paske nou konn Papa a.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
M'ap ekri nou, nou menm granmoun, paske nou konnen moun ki la depi nan konmansman an. M'ap ekri nou, nou menm jennmoun, paske nou gen anpil fòs: nou kenbe pawòl Bondye a nan kè nou, nou kraze dyab la.
15 Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.
Pa renmen lemonn, ni anyen ki soti nan lemonn. Si yon moun renmen lemonn, li pa gen renmen pou Papa a nan kè li.
16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.
Bagay ki soti nan lemonn se egzijans lachè, se gwo tanta, se lògèy k'ap vire tèt moun lè yo gen anpil byen sou latè. Tou sa pa soti nan Papa a. Se nan lemonn sa soti.
17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Se pase lemonn ap pase, ansanm ak tou sa moun jwenn ladan l' yo ta vle genyen. Men, moun ki fè sa Bondye vle, y'ap viv pou tout tan. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Anti-messiah is coming, even now many anti-messiahs have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
Pitit mwen yo, dènye jou a pa lwen rive. Nou tande yo te di nou moun k'ap goumen ak Kris la gen pou vini. Men koulye a, se yon bann moun ki kanpe pou konbat Kris la. Se sa ki fè nou konnen dènye jou a pa lwen rive ankò.
19 They went out from us, but they didn’t belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
Moun sa yo pa t' avèk nou tout bon, se poutèt sa yo kite nou. Si yo te avèk nou tout bon, yo ta toujou rete la avèk nou. Men, yo kite nou pou tout moun ka wè aklè yo yonn pa t' avèk nou tout bon.
20 You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.
Pou nou menm, nou te resevwa Sentespri Kris la te voye sou nou an, konsa nou tout nou konn verite a.
21 I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Si m'ap ekri nou lèt sa a, se pa paske nou pa konn verite a non. Men, okontrè, se paske nou konnen li. Paske nou konnen pa gen manti ki ka soti nan verite a.
22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Yeshua is the Messiah? This is the Anti-messiah, he who denies the Father and the Son.
Kilès k'ap bay manti la a? Se moun ki di Jezi pa Kris la. Moun sa a, se goumen l'ap goumen ak Kris la. Li voye ni Papa a ni Pitit la jete.
23 Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Moun ki voye Pitit la jete, li voye Papa a jete tou. Moun ki rekonèt Pitit la, li rekonèt Papa a tou.
24 Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
Se poutèt sa, pawòl nou te tande depi nan konmansman an, kenbe li nan kè nou. Si nou kenbe sa nou te tande depi nan konmansman an nan kè nou, n'ap toujou fè yonn ak Papa a ansanm ak Pitit la.
Men sa Jezikri te pwomèt l'ap ban nou an: se lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
M'ap ekri nou tou sa poutèt moun k'ap chache twonpe nou yo.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.
Pou nou menm, Kris la te voye Sentespri a sou nou. Toutotan Sentespri a nan kè nou, nou pa bezwen pesonn moutre nou anyen, paske Sentespri a ap moutre nou tout bagay. Sa l'ap moutre nou an se verite, se pa manti. Se poutèt sa, ann fè sa Sentespri a ap moutre nou, ann toujou fè yonn ak Kris la.
28 Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Wi, pitit mwen yo, ann toujou fè yonn ak Kris la. Konsa, lè Kris la va parèt, n'a gen konfyans. Wi, jou la vini an, nou p'ap wont devan l', yo p'ap kapab voye nou jete byen lwen li.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
Nou konnen Kris la se yon moun ki te mache dwat devan Bondye. Se pou nou konnen tou, tout moun ki fè sa ki dwat devan Bondye se pitit Bondye yo ye.
