< 1 John 2 >

1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
Bhana bhane bhi gane lyane, embasimbila enongwa ezi aje umuntu asabhombe embombo embibhi. Lelo nkashele umoabhombile embibhi, ahweli yatilabhi yaki pandwemo nu Daada, uYesu Kristu yasali ne mbibhi.
2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
Umwene yukundanyi hu mbibhi zyetu, se huje ne mbibhi zyetu zyene, lelo nensi yonti.
3 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
Hwezi tamanya aje timenye umwene, nkashele tazibhesha endajizyo zyakwe.
4 One who says, “I know him,” and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Umuntu yaiga, “Emenye Ungulubhi,” lelo siga azikhata endajizyo zyakwe, anilenga, nezye lyoli nazimo mumwoyo gwakwe.
5 But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:
Umuntu yakhata izu lyakwe, lyoli umuntu uyo uluhano lwa Ngulubhi lukha la mwuyo. Eshi timenye aje tilimuhati yakwe.
6 he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
Umuntu yaiga edela mwa Ngulubhe ahwanziwa yuyo ahwendelele neshi u Yesu Kristi sha hendeleye.
7 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.
Bhayaa sembasimbila amweendajizyo enkuulu yamwali nayo ahwande hali, endajizyo eyehali lizu lyamwalyumvwizye.
8 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.
Lelo eshi embasimbila endajizyo empya, eyelyoli hwa Yesu na hulimwe, maana enkisi eshila, nolukhozyo lwa lyoli lukhozya.
9 He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.
Umuntu yaiga endi mulukhozyo lelo ahuvitwa uholo wakwe uyo ali muhisi paka eshi.
10 He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
Umuntu yahugana uholo wakwe uyo adeela mulukhozyo nantele nalimo lyali bhajiye ahuvisye.
11 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.
Lelo ula yahuvitwa uholo wakwe uyo alimuhisi nawtele ajenda muhisi; nawtele samenye hwabhaka, maana ehisi egojile amaso salola.
12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
Embasimbila amwe, mubhana bhigane, maana msajiilwe embibhi zyenyu hunongwa yi tawalyakwe.
13 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.
Embasimbila amwe, mwa daada, amwe mumenye yali hale embasimbila amwe mwasahalana lendu, mumenile ula ubhibhi emasimbiye amwe mubhanamwa dodo, mumenye udaada.
14 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.
Embasimbiye amwe mwasuhala na lendu, muli ni khone ne izu elyaNgulubhi likhala hulimwe nantele mumenile ula ubhibhi.
15 Do not love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love is not in him.
Msaigane ensi nagaala gafiali munsi. Ula yaigana ensi, ulugano lwa Ngulubhi nalumo mumwoyo gwakwe.
16 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.
Shila hantu hahali munsi- zyazizilisya ubele, zyazizilisya amaso na mabado age womi sezifuma hwa daada vifuma munsi.
17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains for the age (aiōn g165).
Ensi eshila nenzilisyo zyakwe zyonti. Lelo uyabhomba enzaNgulubhi akhala wila na wila. (aiōn g165)
18 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.
Mubhana mubhadoda ensiku ezi zyahumalishilo. Nenshi shamwahumvwizye huju yahukhana uYesu ahwenza, neshi bhabhahukhana uYesu bhenzele, eshi timanyaje huje nsiku zya humalishilo.
19 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.
Bhasoguye hulite, ebho seebhali bhahulite, bhagali bhahulite handa bhakheye natete, lelo bhasogoye hulite aje bhabhoneshe huje se bhonti bhabhali bhahulite.
20 You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.
Lelo mupahiye amafuta nuulaufinjile namwe mzimenye enzyelyoli.
21 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.
Siga embasimbiye huje se muzimenye ezyelyolie embasimbiye aja muzimenye nantele nalimo ilenga lya lyonti umwo.
22 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.
Wenu uwilenga yayula yahukhana u Yesu, aje uYesu yu Kiristi? Uyahukhana uYesu yayula yaiga numo udaada nu mwana.
23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Numo umuntu yahukhawa Umwana aiga ane endi nu Dada. Yayonti yahumwe teha Umwana ali nu Daada.
24 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.
Nkahali kwa ajili yenyu, hala hamwahumvizye afume hali heshi hakhalaje hwa hulimwe. Weshi haala hamwahumvwizye ahwande hele habhakale wila mulimwe namwe mubhakhale muhanji mwa Mwana nu Daada.
25 This is the promise which he promised us, the consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
Olu lulagano lwatipiye ate: nu uwomi wa wia na wila. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
Embandishiye ezi aje mubhamanye bhala bhabhahanzaga abhalongozye humbibhi.
27 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 will remain in him.
Na hushauli yenyu gaala amafuta gamwagambeleye afume hwa mwene gakhala muhati mulimwe, na semuhwanza umuntu aje abhamanyizye. Amafuta gakwe gabhamanyizya zyoti ne zye lyoli na bila lilenga lyalyonti nkashele gabhamanyizizye khalaji muhati yakwe.
28 Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Amwe bhaana bhihane khali muhati yakwe nkashele naihwenza tahabhe na madandi na siyo aihumve ensoni nayenza umwene.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
Nkamumenye huje umwene lyoli, mumenye lyoli huje kila muntu abhewe lyoli na huje umuntu apepwe nu mwene.
