1 Yohane 2
1 Inu Ana anga okondedwa, ndikukulemberani zimenezi kuti musachimwe. Koma wina akachimwa, tili nayo Nkhoswe yotinenera kwa Atate, Yesu Khristu, Wolungamayo.
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.
2 Iyeyo ndiye nsembe yopepesera machimo athu, ndipo osati athu okha, komanso machimo onse a dziko lapansi.
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 Ife timatsimikiza kuti tikumudziwa ngati tikusunga malamulo ake.
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4 Munthu akamanena kuti, “Ine ndimadziwa Mulungu,” koma samvera malamulo a Mulunguyo, ndi wabodza ameneyo ndipo mwa iye mulibe choonadi.
One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.
5 Koma munthu aliyense akamvera mawu ake, ndiye kuti chikondi cha Mulungu chafikadi penipeni mwa iyeyo. Pamenepo timatsimikizadi kuti tili mwa Iye.
But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:
6 Aliyense amene amati amakhala mwa Mulungu, ayenera kukhala moyo umene Yesu ankakhala.
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
7 Okondedwa, sindikukulemberani lamulo latsopano koma lakale lomwe lija, limene munali nalo kuyambira pachiyambi. Lamulo la kalelo ndi mawu amene munawamva kale.
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.
8 Komabe ndi lamulo latsopano limene ndikukulemberani. Choonadi chake chikuoneka mwa Yesu ndiponso mwa inu, chifukwa mdima ukutha ndipo kuwunika kwenikweni kwayamba kale kuwala.
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 Aliyense amene amati ali mʼkuwunika, koma nʼkumadana ndi mʼbale wake ali mu mdima.
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.
10 Aliyense amene amakonda mʼbale wake amakhalanso mʼkuwunika, ndipo mwa iye mulibe chokhumudwitsa.
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
11 Koma aliyense wodana ndi mʼbale wake ali mu mdima ndipo akuyenda mu mdima. Iyeyo sakudziwa kumene akupita, chifukwa mdima wamudetsa mʼmaso mwake.
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.
12 Inu ana okondedwa, ndikukulemberani popeza kuti machimo anu akhululukidwa chifukwa cha dzina la Yesu.
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 Inu abambo, ndikukulemberani popeza kuti munamudziwa Iye amene analipo kuyambira pachiyambi. Inu anyamata, ndikukulemberani popeza kuti munagonjetsa woyipayo.
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.
14 Ana okondedwa, ndikukulemberani chifukwa mumawadziwa Atate. Abambo, ndikukulemberani chifukwa munamudziwa Iye amene analipo kuyambira pachiyambi. Inu anyamata, ndikukulemberani chifukwa ndinu amphamvu. Mawu a Mulungu amakhala mwa inu ndipo mumamugonjetsa woyipayo.
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.
15 Musamakonde dziko lapansi kapena chilichonse cha dziko lapansi. Ngati munthu wina aliyense akonda dziko lapansi, mwa iyeyo mulibe chikondi chokonda Atate.
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.
16 Pakuti zonse za mʼdziko lapansi, zilakolako za thupi, zinthu zimene maso amakhumbira ndiponso kuyandikira zinthu za moyo uno, zonsezi sizichokera kwa Atate, koma ku dziko lapansi.
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.
17 Dziko lapansi likupita pamodzi ndi zilakolako zake, koma amene amachita chifuniro cha Mulungu amakhalapo mpaka muyaya. (aiōn g165)
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
18 Ana anga, ino ndi nthawi yotsiriza, ndipo monga munamva kale kuti anthu okana Khristu akubwera, ngakhale tsopano okana Khristu ambiri afika kale. Zimenezi zikutisonyeza kuti ino ndi nthawi yotsiriza.
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.
19 Anthu amenewa anachoka pakati pathu, komatu sanali a mʼgulu lathu. Pakuti akanakhala a mʼgulu lathu, akanakhalabe nafe, koma kuchoka kwawo kunatisonyeza kuti sanali a mʼgulu lathu.
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.
20 Koma inu muli ndi kudzoza kochokera kwa Woyerayo, ndipo nonsenu mukudziwa choonadi.
You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.
21 Sindikukulemberani chifukwa choti simudziwa choonadi ayi, koma chifukwa choti mumadziwa choonadicho, ndipo mukudziwanso kuti bodza silichokera pa choonadi.
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.
22 Wabodzayo ndani? Ndi munthu aliyense amene amanena kuti Yesu si Mpulumutsi. Munthu woteroyo ndi wokana Khristu, ndiponso amakana Atate, ndi Mwana.
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.
23 Aliyense wokana Mwana alibenso Atate. Wovomereza Mwana alinso ndi Atate.
Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 Onetsetsani kuti zimene munazimva kuyambira pachiyambi zikhalebe mwa inu. Ngati zikhala mwa inu, inunso mudzakhala mwa Mwana ndiponso mwa Atate.
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.
This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Ine ndikukulemberani zimenezi kuti ndikuwuzeni za amene akufuna kukusocheretsani.
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 Koma za inu, kudzoza kumene munalandira kwa Khristu kuli mwa inu, ndipo sipafunika wina aliyense kuti akuphunzitseni. Koma kudzozako kumakuphunzitsani zinthu zonse, ndipo popeza kudzoza kwakeko nʼkoona osati konama, monga munaphunzira, khalani mwa Iyeyo.
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.
28 Tsopano ana okondedwa, khalani mwa Yesu, kuti pamene adzaonekera, ife tidzakhale otsimikizika mu mtima ndi wopanda manyazi pamaso pake akamadzabwera.
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 Popeza mukudziwa kuti Khristu ndi wolungama, choncho mukudziwanso kuti aliyense amene amachita chilungamo ndi mwana wa Mulungu.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
