1 Yohana 2
1 Abhana bhani abhendwa, enibhandikila emisango jinu kwemwe koleleki mwasiga kukola chibhibhi. Mbe nawe alabha oumwi wemwe akakola echibhibhi, chili no mujuni unu ali amwi na Lata, Yesu Kristo -unu ali mulengelesi.
My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
2 Mwenene ni mugwatanya ku bhibhibhi bhyeswe, na atali kwe bhibhibhi bhyeswe-la bhyenyele, mbe nawe one mu Chalo chikobhe.
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 Ku linu echimenya ati echimumenya omwene, chikabhigwata ebhilagilo bhyaye.
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4 Omwene unu kaika, “Enimumenya Nyamuanga,” Mbe nawe atakubhigwata ebhilagilo bhyaye, ni mulimi, ne chimali chitamulimo.
One who says, "I know him," and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 Mbe nawe wona wona unu kagwata omusango gwaye, ni chimali ku munu ulya okwenda kwa Nyamuanga okukumisibhwa. Kulinu echimenya ati chili mu mwene.
But whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
6 Omwene unu kaika ati alamile mu Nyamuanga kumwiile omwenene one alibhatega lwa kutyo Yesu Kristo kutyo alibhatile.
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
7 Abhendwa, nitakubhandikila emwe chilagilo chiyaya, nawe chilagilo Cha kala chinu mwamalile okubha nacho kusoka bhusimuka. Echilagilo cha kala ni musango gunu mwonguywe.
Beloved, 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.
8 Nolwo kutyo enibhandikila emwe chilagilo chiyaya, chinu chili che chimali mu Kristo na kwemwe, ku nsonga echisute echilabhawo, no bhwelu bhwe chimali bhuli bhwangu obhumulika.
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.
9 Omwene unu kaika ali mu bhwelu kenu namusoka owabho mbe oyo ali mu chisute Kukinga wolyanu.
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
10 Omwene unu kamwenda owabho alamile mu bhwelu na gutaliwo musango gwona gwona gunu ogutula okumwikujusha.
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
11 Mbe nawe omwene unu namusoka owabho oyo ali mu chisute na kalibhatila mu chisute; Omwene atakumenya aki eyo kaja, ku nsonga echisute chamuofusishe ameso gaye.
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Enibhandikila emwe, abhana abhendwa, ku nsonga mwiswaliliywe ebhibhibhi bhyemwe kulwa ingulu ya lisina lyaye.
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 Enibhandikila emwe, bhalata, ku nsonga mumumenyele omwenene kusoka bhusimuka. Enibhandikila emwe, abhasigaji, ku nsonga nimusigega omubhibhi ulya. Enibhandikila emwe, abhana abhakola, ku nsonga omumumenya Lata.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
14 Enibhandikila emwe, Bhalata, ku nsonga mumumenyele mwene kusoka bhusimuka. Enibhandikila emwe, bhasigaji, ku nsonga mulumatene, no musango gwa Nyamuanga gubhekayemo, na mwamutamishe/mwamuigile omubhibhi ulya.
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Mwasiga kuchenda echalo nolwo masango ganu galimo muchalo. Nakabhee ulya akachenda echalo elyenda lyo kumwenda Lata litamulimo.
Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.
16 Kulwo kubha bhuli chinu chinu chilimo mu chalo-obhuligisi bhwo mubhili, okuligila kwa meso, ne chigundu cho bhuanga- bhitakusokana na Lata mbe nawe ebhisokana ne chalo.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
17 Echalo no bhuligisi bhwacho ebhilabhawo. Nawe mwenene unu kakola okwenda kwa Nyamuanga oyo niwe nagendelelala okulama kajanende. (aiōn g165)
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
18 Bhana bhatoto, ni mwanya gwa kubhutelo. Lwa kutyo mwonguywe ati unu kamulema Kristo kaja, nolwo wolyanu bhanu abhamulema Kristo bhejile, ku jinu echimenya ati hi mwanya gwa kubhutelo.
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
19 Bhajiye jebhwe nibhachisokamo, kulwo kubha bhaliga bhatali bheswe. Lwa kutyo bhakabhee kweswe bhakagendelee okubha amwi neswe. Mbe nawe mu mwanya gunu bhagendele jebhwe, echo chelesishe ati bhaliga bhatali bhe wasu.
They went out from us, but they did not 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.
20 Mbe nawe mwitiliywe amafuta noyo Omwelulo, emwe bhona muchimenyele echimali.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 Nitabhandikiye emwe ku nsonga mutakuchimenya echimali, nawe ku nsonga omuchimenya na ku nsonga lutalimo lulimi lwa echimali chilya.
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Omulimi niga nawe ni mwenene unu kalema ati Yesu ni Kristo? Omunu unu kamulema Kristo, nanu kalema Lata no Mwana.
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Atali unu kalema omwana nabha-la na Lata. Wona wona unu kamwikilisha omwana ali na Lata one.
Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 Alabha ni ingulu yemwe, chilya chinu mwonguywe kusoka kubhwambilo siga chigendelele okubhayana emwe. Lwa chiliya chinu mwonguywe kusoka mu bhwambilo echibhenyanjamo mwimwe, one mulinyanja mu mwana na Lata.
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.
This is the promise which he promised us, the everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Enibhandikila ganu emwe okulubhana na bhaliya bhanu bhakabhatangasishe emwe mu munjila.
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 Na ingulu yemwe, amafuta galya ganu mwalamiye okusoka kwaye gabhekayemo, na mutakukena munu wona wona kubheigisha. Mbe Nawe alabha amafuta gaye agabheigisha okulubhana ne misango jona na ni chimali na kutali lulimi, nolwo kutyo alabha abheigisishe, nimwikalega mu mwene.
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not 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 remain in him.
28 Na wolyanu, abhana abhendwa, nimwikalega mu mwene, koleleki mu mwanya gunu akabhonekane, chitule okubha no bhubhasi na chitakwiyungwa kubha na nswalo imbele hate mu kuja kwaye.
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 Alabha omumenya ati mwenene hi mulengelesi, na nimumenya ati bhuli umwi unu kakola ejo bhulengelesi abhuywe no mwene.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
