1 Johani 2
1 Vahwile, ni mi ñolela izi zintu kwenu nji kuti kanji mu chiti chivi. Kono heva zumwi na chita zivi, twina mu zimanini ni Tayo, Jesu Kirisite, yenke yo lukite.
My little children, these things I write to you that you may not sin: and if anyone may sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, [the] Righteous One,
2 Mu sunguli wa zivi zetu, mi isiñi zetu bulyo, kono ze nkanda yonse.
and He is [the] propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the whole world,
3 Kechi twizi kuti tu mwizi: heva ni tu vika intaelo zakwe.
and in this we know that we have known Him, if we may keep His commands;
4 Zuna yo wamba,” Ni izi Ireza,” kono ka viki milao yakwe, u chenga, mi initi kaina mwali.
he who is saying, “I have known Him,” and is not keeping His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
5 Kono yense yo vika inzwi lya kwe, cha vuniti vwi zwile, nji mo zuna muntu kuti i lato lya Ireza li va chitwa tota. Kechi twizi kuti twina mwali.
and whoever may keep His word, truly the love of God has been perfected in him; in this we know that we are in Him.
6 Iye yo wamba kuti u shala mwa Ireza u swanela naye ku yenda uvu Jesu Krisite mwa vayendeli.
He who is saying he remains in Him, himself ought to also walk according as He walked.
7 Basakiwa, Kani ñoli mulao muhya kwenu, kono wa kale mulao umu vena nao ku matangilo. I ntaelo ya kale i nzwi i muva zuwi.
Beloved, I do not write a new command to you, but an old command, that you had from the beginning—the old command is the word that you heard from the beginning;
8 Imi ni ñola mulao muhya kwenu, ili initi mwa Kiresite ni mwenu, kakuti chinzime cha mana, mi iseli lye niti chili venyete kale.
again, a new command I write to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shines;
9 Iye yo wamba kuti wina mwi seli mi kasaki mwakwe wina mu chi nzime ku sikila hanu.
he who is saying he is in the light, and is hating his brother, he is in the darkness until now;
10 Iye yo saka mwakwe u shala mwi seli mi kakwina chi mwi mwali chiwola kumu letela chunchula.
he who is loving his brother, he remains in the light, and there is not a stumbling-block in him;
11 Kono Iye ya sasaki mwakwe wina mu chinzime mi uyenda mu chinzime; kezi kwa kaya, kakuti chinzime cha mu cita vuhofu ha menso akwe.
but he who is hating his brother, he is in the darkness, and he walks in the darkness, and he has not known where he goes, because the darkness blinded his eyes.
12 Ni mi ñolela, bahwile ba sakahala, kakuti zivi zenu zi kwatilwe che vaka lyezina lyakwe.
I write to you, little children, because sins have been forgiven you through His Name;
13 Ni ñola kwenu va zazi, kakuti mwizi iye ku zwa kuma tangilo. Ni ñola kwenu, mi lombwana, kakuti mu va komi mu vilala. Ni vami ñoleli va hwile va nini, kakuti mwizi Itayo. Ni va mi ñoleli va zazi, kakuti mwizi iye yo zwa kuma tangilo.
I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who [is] from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil [one]; I write to you, little youths, because you have known the Father;
14 Ni va ñoli kwenu mu va lombwana, ka kuti mukolete, mi inzwi lya Ireza li shala mwenu, mi muva komi muvilala.
I wrote to you, fathers, because you have known Him who [is] from the beginning; I wrote to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil [one].
15 Kanji mu saki inkanda kamba zintu zina mwi inkanda, heva kwina yo saka inkanda, i lato lya Itayo kalina mwali.
Do not love the world, nor the things in the world; if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
16 Linu zonse zina mwi inkanda -ku lakamina kwe nyama, ku la kamina kwa menso, ni ku li tundumwina vuhalo- ka ku zwi kwa Itayo kono kuzwa mwi inkanda.
because all that [is] in the world—the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of [one’s] life—is not of the Father, but of the world,
17 Inkanda ni ntakazo yateni zi hita. Kono yense yo chita ku suna kwa Ireza mwaveko kuya ukoo. (aiōn g165)
and the world is passing away, and the desire of it, but he who is doing the will of God, he remains—throughout the age. (aiōn g165)
18 Bahwile vanini, inako ya mamani mani. Sina mu mu va zuwili kuti vu kani vwa Kirisite u kezite, hanu vangi vakana Kerisite vavezi. Kechi twizi kuti cheli inako ya ma mani mani.
Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as you heard that the antichrist comes, even now antichrists have become many—whereby we know that it is [the] last hour;
19 Vava yendi kuzwa kwetu, kono kena vavali kuzwa kwetu. Mukuti kambe vavali kuzwa kwetu ni vava shali naswe. Kono hava yenda kuzwa, ku va tondezi kena vavali kuzwa kwetu.
they went forth out of us, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but [they went out] so that they might be revealed that they are not all of us.
20 Kono wina i ntozo ku zwa kuyo Jolola, mi mwense mwizi vuniti.
And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
21 Kena na ñola kwenu ka kuti ka mwizi vuniti, kono kakuti mu vwizi mi kakuti ka kwina mapa azwa mu vuniti.
I did not write to you because you have not known the truth, but because you have known it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Muchengi njeni kwande yo zuna yo sampula kuti Jesu nji ye Kirisite? Zuna muntu njo lwisa Kirisite, kakuti u sampula Itayo ni mwana.
Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;
23 Kakwina yo sampula mwana wina Itayo. Iye mwine ulemuha mwana naye wina Itayo.
everyone who is denying the Son, neither has the Father; he who is confessing the Son has the Father also.
24 Kuya chenu, musiye zi muva zuwi ku ma tangilo zi shale mwenu. Heva zimuva zuwi ku matangilo zi shala mwenu, ka mu shale nanwe mu Mwana ni mwe Tayo.
You, then, that which you heard from the beginning, let it remain in you; if that which you heard from the beginning may remain in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father,
and this is the promise that He promised us—the continuous life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Nami ñolela izi zintu cha kuya chavo vete ni vavami zwisi mwi nzila.
These things I wrote to you concerning those leading you astray;
27 Kuya chenu, i ntozo i muva tambuli kuzwa kwali i shala mwenu, mi kamu saki umwi ku mi luta. Kono sina intozo yakwe imi luta zintu zonse mi initi mi kahena kuchenga, mi sina ka mumu va ilutilwa, mushale mwali.
and you, the anointing that you received from Him, it remains in you, and you have no need that anyone may teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, you will remain in Him.
28 Mi linu, va hwile va sakahala, mu shale mwali, nji kuta kuti chavoneka, mutuve ni vundume mi kete tu swave havusu vwa kwiza kwakwe.
And now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He may have appeared, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before Him, at His coming;
29 Heva mwizi kuti ulukite, mwizi kuti zumwi ni zumwi yo panga chi lukite ava zalwa kwali.
if you know that He is righteous, know that everyone doing righteousness, has been begotten of Him.
