1 Joni 2
1 Nobana, ndikumulembela zintu ezi kuchitila kuti mutabisyi. Pele naa kuti umwi wabisya, tulaawe sikutwiminina kuli Taata, Jesu Kkilisito, oyo ululeme.
Bantwanyana bami, ngilibhalela lezizinto, ukuze lingoni. Njalo loba ngubani nxa esona, siloMmeli kuYise, uJesu Kristu olungileyo;
2 Ngonguwe muliiyo wezibi zyesu, kutaamba zyeesu luzutu pele kuti azyenyika yoonse mbiizulwa.
njalo yena uyinhlawulo yokuthula yezono zethu; futhi kungeyisizo ezethu zodwa, kodwa lezomhlaba wonke.
3 Mulicheechi tulizi kuti twasika aakumuziba: naa twabamba milawu yakwe.
Langalokho siyakwazi ukuthi siyamazi, uba sigcina imilayo yakhe.
4 Oyo uwamba kuti, “Leza ndimwizi,” pesi katabambi milawu yakwe mubeji, alimwi bwini tabumo mulinguwe.
Lowo othi: Ngiyamazi, futhi engagcini imilayo yakhe, ungumqambimanga, leqiniso kalikho kuye;
5 Pele oyo woonse uubamba ijwi lyakwe, mulinguwe nchobeni luyando lwa Leza lwakakwanisigwa. Acheechi tulizi kuti tuli mulinguwe.
kodwa lowo ogcina ilizwi lakhe, ngeqiniso uthando lukaNkulunkulu luphelelisiwe kuye. Ngalokho siyazi ukuthi sikuye.
6 Kufumbwa uuwamba kuti ukalilide muli Leza welede kweenda mbuli Jesu Kkilisito mbwakeenda.
Lowo othi uhlala kuye ufanele laye uqobo ahambe kanje, njengoba laye wahamba.
7 Nomuyandwa, teensi ndikumulembela mulawu mupya pe, pele mulawu wachiindi ngumwakali aawo kuzwa kumatalikilo. Mulawu wachiindi ndijwi ndimwakamvwa.
Bazalwane, kangilibhaleli umlayo omutsha, kodwa umlayo omdala, elalilawo kusukela ekuqaleni; umlayo omdala uyilizwi elalizwayo kusukela ekuqaleni.
8 Nikuba boobo ndimulembela mulawu mupya, oyo uuli nkikasimpe muli Kkilisito amulindinywe, nkambo mudima ulimukwiinda, alimwi mumuuni wabwini ulimukumweka kale.
Ngiphinda ngilibhalele umlayo omutsha, into eliqiniso kuye, lakini; ngoba ubumnyama buyadlula, lokukhanya kweqiniso sekukhanya.
9 Oyo uwamba kuti uli mumumuni kasulide munyiina uchili mumudima alino.
Lowo othi usekukhanyeni, futhi ezonda umzalwane wakhe, usemnyameni kuze kube lakhathesi.
10 Oyo uyanda munyina ukkalilide mumumuni alimwi takwe mweenya wakudadalika mulinguwe.
Othanda umzalwane wakhe, uhlala ekukhanyeni, njalo kakulasikhubo kuye.
11 Pele oyo uusula munyina uli mumudima alimwi weenda mumudima; tazi nkwayobuya nkambo mudima woofwazya menso aakwe.
Kodwa ozonda umzalwane wakhe usebumnyameni, njalo uhamba ebumnyameni, futhi kakwazi lapho aya khona, ngoba ubumnyama buwaphumputhekisile amehlo akhe.
12 Ndikulemba kulindinywe, nobana, nkambo izibi zyenu zilalekelelwa nkambo kezina lyakwe.
Ngiyalibhalela, bantwanyana, ngoba izono zenu lizithethelelwe ngenxa yebizo lakhe.
13 Ndikumulembela, nomandende, nkambo muli mwizi ooyo uzwa kumatalikilo. Ndilikumulembela, nobalumi banini, nkambo mwakamuzunda mubi. Ndamulembela nobana, nkambo muli mwizi Taata.
Ngiyalibhalela, bobaba, ngoba limazile yena okhona kusukela ekuqaleni. Ngiyalibhalela lina, majaha, ngoba limnqobile omubi. Ngiyalibhalela lina, bantwanyana, ngoba limazile uYise.
14 Ndamulembela nomandende, nkambo mulimwizi ooyo uzwa kumatalikilo. Ndamulembela nobalumi banini, nkambo mulanguuzu, alimwi ijwi lya Leza lilikalilide mulindinywe, alimwi mwamuzunda mubi.
Ngilibhalele, bobaba, ngoba limazile okhona kusukela ekuqaleni. Ngilibhalele, majaha, ngoba lilamandla lelizwi likaNkulunkulu lihlala kini njalo limnqobile omubi.
15 Mutayandi inyika niziba zintu zili munyika. Kuti kakuli umwi uyanda nyika, luyando lwa Taata talumo mulinguwe.
Lingawuthandi umhlaba loba izinto ezisemhlabeni. Uba umuntu ethanda umhlaba, uthando lukaYise kalukho kuye;
16 Nkambo zyoonse zili munyika - menso menso azyanyama, nikuba chitumpya menso, akalutiluti kabuumi - tazizwi kuli Taata pele zizwa kunyika.
ngoba konke okusemhlabeni, inkanuko yenyama, lenkanuko yamehlo, lokuzigqaja kwempilo, kakuveli kuYise kodwa kuvela emhlabeni.
17 Alimwi nyika anzyiyanda ziliinda. Pele kufumbwa uuchita luyando lwa Leza uyokkalilila akutamani. (aiōn g165)
Lomhlaba uyedlula, lenkanuko zawo; kodwa owenza intando kaNkulunkulu uhlala kuze kube nininini. (aiōn g165)
18 Nobana banini, lyaba hoola lyamamanino. Mbuuli mbumwakamvwa kuti sikukkazya Kkilisito ulasika, lino bamukazya Kkilisito mbiingi basika. Akambo kazeezi kuti nihoola lyamamanino.
Bantwanyana, kuyisikhathi sokucina; njalo njengalokhu lezwa ukuthi umphikuKristu uyeza, lakhathesi abanengi sebengabaphikuKristu; ngalokhu siyazi ukuthi kuyisikhathi sokucina.
19 Bakazwa mulindiswe, pele teensi bakali mulindiswe. Nkambo nikwali kuti balikuzwa muli ndiswe nibakakkalilila aswebo. Pele nibakazwa, zyakatondezya kuti teensi bakazwa muli ndiswe.
Baphuma kithi, kodwa babengesibo abakithi; ngoba uba babengabakithi, ngabe bahlala lathi; kodwa baphuma ukuze babonakalise ukuthi kabasibo bonke abakithi.
20 Pele mula kunanikwa kuzwa ku Musalali, alimwi mulikezi kasimpe.
Kodwa lina lilokugcotshwa okuvela koNgcwele, njalo liyazi izinto zonke.
21 Teensi ndakamulembela akaambo kakuti tamwizi bwini pe, pele nkambo mulibwizi alimwi taakwe kubeja kuzwa mubwini.
Kangilibhalelanga ngoba lingalazi iqiniso, kodwa ngoba liyalazi, njalo ngoba kakulamanga lakanye avela eqinisweni.
22 Ngwani mubeji pele oyo ukazya kuti Jesu ngo Kkilisito? Ooyo muntu ngonguwe sikukazya Kkilisito, mbuuli kuti wakaka Taata a Mwana.
Ngubani ongumqambimanga ngaphandle kwalowo ophikayo ukuthi uJesu unguKristu? Yena ungumphikuKristu, ophika uYise leNdodana.
23 Tawo pe uukkaka Mwana uula Taata. Kufumbwa uuzumina Mwana a Taata ulaawe.
Wonke ophika iNdodana laye kalaye uYise; ovuma iNdodana uloYise laye.
24 Ino inywe, ezyo nzimwakamvwa kumatalikilo amuzileke zikkalilile mulindinywe. Kuti nzimwakamvwa kuzwa kumatalikilo zyakkalilila mulindinywe, muyokkalilila mu Mwana amuli Taata.
Lina-ke elakuzwayo kusukela ekuqaleni kakuhlale kini. Uba kuhlala kini elakuzwayo kusukela ekuqaleni, lani lizahlala eNdodaneni lakuBaba.
Njalo yilesi isithembiso yena asithembisa sona, impilo elaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
26 Ndalemba izintu eezi kuli ndinywe atala abaabo banga balamusowa.
Lezizinto ngalibhalela ngalabo abalikhohlisayo.
27 Ino inywe, bunanike mbumwakatambula kuzwa kuli nguwe buli kkalilide muli ndinywe, alimwi tamuyanduuli sikumuyiisya pe. Pele kuti kunanika kwakwe kulakuyiisya zyoonse alimwi masimpe teensi nkubeja pe, mbuli mbukwakakuyiisya, kkalilila muli nguwe.
Lina-ke ukugcotshwa elakwemukela kuye kuhlala kini, njalo kalisweli ukuthi umuntu alifundise; kodwa njengoba lokhu ukugcotshwa kuyalifundisa ngakho konke, futhi kuqinisile, njalo kayisiwomanga, futhi njengoba kwalifundisa, lizahlala kuye.
28 Alimwi lino, nobana, amukkalilile muli nguwe, kuchitila kuti nayoopamuka tukabe abusichaamba peepe kuyofwa insoni kunembo lyakwe akusika kwakwe.
Khathesi-ke, bantwanyana, hlalani kuye; ukuze kuthi lapho ebonakala sibe lesibindi, singabi lenhloni phambi kwakhe ekufikeni kwakhe.
29 Na kamwizi kuti uliluleme, mulizi kuti woonse uuchita bubotu wakazyalwa anguwe.
Uba lisazi ukuthi ulungile, liyazi ukuthi wonke owenza ukulunga uzelwe nguye.
