< 1 Yohana 2 >
1 Achiŵanangu ŵakunonyelwa, ngunlembela maloŵe ga, kuti nkatenda sambi. Iŵaga jwalijose atesile sambi, tukwete nkamusi jwakutupopelela kwa Akunnungu Atati pamalo petu, jwele ali Che Yesu Kilisito, jwali jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may be without sin. And if any man is a sinner, we have a friend and helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, the upright one:
2 Kilisito nsyene ali mbopesi jajityochekwe kwa ligongo lya kulecheleswa sambi syetu, ni ngaŵa kwa sambi syetu pe, nambo iyoyo kwa ligongo lya sambi sya ŵandu wose ŵaali pachilambo.
He is the offering for our sins; and not for ours only, but for all the world.
3 Twajitichisyaga Malajisyo ga Akunnungu, pelepo, tukukombola kuimanyilila isyene kuti tukwamanyilila Akunnungu.
And by this we may be certain that we have knowledge of him, if we keep his laws.
4 Mundu jwakuti akwamanyilila Akunnungu, nambo ngakugajitichisya malajisyo gakwe, jwele mundu ali jwaunami ni usyene nganiupagwa munkati mwakwe.
The man who says, I have knowledge of him, and does not keep his laws, is false, and there is nothing true in him:
5 Nambo jwalijose jwakwitichisya Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, unonyelo wa Akunnungu umalilwe munkati mwakwe. Kwanti yele tukukombola kumanyilila isyene kuti tukulumbikana ni Akunnungu.
But in every man who keeps his word, the love of God is made complete. By this we may be certain that we are in him:
6 Mundu jwakusala kuti alumbikene ni Akunnungu, atameje mpela iŵatamaga Che Yesu nsyene.
He who says that he is living in him, will do as he did.
7 Achambusanga ŵangu ŵangunnonyela, lilajisyo lingunlembela li ngaŵa lilajisyo lya sambano, nambo lilajisyo lya kalakala, limwaliji nalyo kutyochela kundanda. Lilajisyo lya kalakala lyo, lili utenga umwaupikene.
My loved ones, I do not give you a new law, but an old law which you had from the first; this old law is the word which came to your ears.
8 Atamuno, ngunlembela lilajisyo lya sambano, liloŵe lya usyene lili munkati mwa Kilisito iyoyopeyo likuwoneka munkati mwenu. Pakuŵa chipi chimasile ni lilanguka lya usyene litandite kulanguchisya.
Again, I give you a new law, which is true in him and in you; for the night is near its end and the true light is even now shining out.
9 Mundu jwalijose jwakuti akutama mu lilanguka nambo akunchima nlongo njakwe, mundu jo akutama mu chipi mpaka lelo jino.
He who says that he is in the light, and has hate in his heart for his brother, is still in the dark.
10 Ni mundu jwalijose jwakunnonyela nlongo njakwe, jwelejo akutama mu lulanga, nombe munkati mwakwe ngapagwa chindu chachikwatendekasya ŵandu ŵane atende sambi.
He who has love for his brother is in the light, and there is no cause of error in him.
11 Nambo mundu jwalijose jwakunchima nlongo njakwe jwelejo akutama muchipi, ni akwenda muchipi, ngakukumanyilila kwakwaula, ligongo chipi chatuswile meeso gakwe.
But he who has hate for his brother is in the dark, walking in the dark with no knowledge of where he is going, unable to see because of the dark.
12 Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe ŵanache ligongo nnecheleswe sambi syenu kwa litala lya aila yaitesile Kilisito.
I am writing to you, my children, because you have forgiveness of sins through his name.
13 Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe achatati ligongo mummanyi Kilisito juŵaliji kutyochela kundanda. Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe achachanda ligongo mumpundile Shetani.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil One. I have sent a letter to you, children, because you have knowledge of the Father.
14 Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe ŵanache pakuŵa mummanyi Akunnungu Atati ŵetu. Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe achatati, pakuŵa mummanyi Kilisito juŵaliji kutyochela kundanda. Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe achachanda ligongo nkwete machili ni Liloŵe lya Akunnungu likutama nkati mwenu, ni ŵanyamwe mumpundile Jwangalumbana jula.
I have sent a letter to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I have sent a letter to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and because you have overcome the Evil One.
15 Nkachinonyela chilambo atamuno chachilichose chachili mu chilambo. Iŵaga mundu akuchinonyela chilambo ngaakombola kwanonyela Akunnungu Atati ŵetu.
Have no love for the world or for the things which are in the world. If any man has love for the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 Pakuŵa indu yose yaili pachilambo, mpela ila tama sya chiilu syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo ni tama ja indu yaikulolecheka kwa meeso, ni kulifunila ipanje inkwete, yele yose ngaikutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu nambo ikutyochela pachilambo.
Because everything in the world, the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world.
17 Chilambo ni indu yakuilajila ŵandu ikupita, nambo mundu jwakuipanganya yaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu, jwelejo chatame moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn )
And the world and its desires is coming to an end: but he who does God's pleasure is living for ever. (aiōn )
18 Achiŵanangu, aka kali katema kambesi. Mpela imwatite kupilikana kuti chaiche jwakunkanila Kilisito, ni sambano ŵakwakanila Kilisito aikangene achajinji. Ni kwayele tukuimanyilila kuti akano kali katema kambesi.
Little children, it is the last hour; and as you were given word that the Antichrist would come, so now a number of Antichrists have come to you; and by this we are certain that it is the last hour.
19 Ŵandu wo ŵatyochele pasikati jetu, nambo nganaŵa mu mpingo wetu pakuŵa akaliji mu mpingo wetu, akasigalile ni uweji. Nambo ŵatulesile, kuti ilolechele pangasisika kuti nganaŵa mu mpingo wetu.
They went out from us but they were not of us; if they had been of us they would still be with us: but they went out from us so that it might be made clear that they were not of us.
20 Nambo ŵanyamwe mumpochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni Kilisito ni wose nkuumanyilila usyene.
And you have the Spirit from the Holy One and you all have knowledge.
21 Ngunnembela ŵanyamwe ngaŵa pakuŵa ngankuumanyilila usyene, nambo ligongo nkuumanyilila ni sooni nkuimanyilila yakuti, unami wauli wose ngaukutyochela mu usyene.
I have not sent you this letter because you have no knowledge of what is true, but because you have knowledge, and because that which is false has nothing in common with that which is true.
22 Ana nduni jwaali jwaunami? Ŵandu ŵakukanila kuti Che Yesu nganaŵa Kilisito. Ŵandu mpela ŵelewo ali ŵammagongo ŵa Kilisito, pakuŵa akunkana Akunnungu Atati ŵetu pamo ni Mwana.
Who is false but he who says that Jesus is not the Christ? He is the Antichrist who has no belief in the Father or the Son.
23 Mundu jwakunkana Mwana iyoyo akunkana Atati nombe, ni mundu jwakunjitichisya Mwana iyoyo akunjitichisya Atati nombe.
He who has no belief in the Son has not the Father: he who makes clear his belief in the Son has the Father.
24 Nipele, utenga umwaupilikene chitandile kundanda utame mmitima jenu. Utenga wo watamaga mmitima jenu, nipele, ŵanyamwe chinlonjele nkulumbikana ni Mwana ni Atati.
But as for you, keep in your hearts the things which were made clear to you from the first. If you keep these things in your hearts you will be kept in the Father and the Son.
25 Achi ni chilanga chaatulanjile Kilisito, chaatupe umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios )
And this is the hope which he gave you, even eternal life. (aiōnios )
26 Nanlembele ŵanyamwe gelega nkati ŵandu ŵakusaka kunlyungasya ŵanyamwe.
I am writing these things to you about those whose purpose is that you may be turned out of the true way.
27 Nambo ŵanyamwe, mumpochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kutyochela kwa Kilisito. Nombejo akwendelechela kutama munkati mwenu, kwayele ngankulajila mundu anjiganye. Pakuŵa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akunjiganya indu yose, ni majiganyo gakwe gali ga usyene, ni nganigaŵa ga unami. Nipele ngakamulichisye majiganyo ga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni kulonjela nkulumbikana ni Kilisito.
As for you, the Spirit which he gave you is still in you, and you have no need of any teacher; but as his Spirit gives you teaching about all things, and is true and not false, so keep your hearts in him, through the teaching which he has given you.
28 Sambano achiŵanangu, nlonjele nkulumbikana nawo kuti katema kachauje ngatujogopa ni ngatukola soni paujo pao lyuŵa lyakwika kwakwe.
And now, my children, keep your hearts in him; so that at his revelation, we may have no fear or shame before him at his coming.
29 Nkumanyilila kuti Kilisito ali jwakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, iyoyo mmanyilile kuti ŵandu ŵakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵelewo ali ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu.
If you have knowledge that he is upright, it is clear to you that everyone who does righteousness is his offspring.
