< 1 John 2 >
1 My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
Nobana, ndikumulembela zintu ezi kuchitila kuti mutabisyi. Pele naa kuti umwi wabisya, tulaawe sikutwiminina kuli Taata, Jesu Kkilisito, oyo ululeme.
2 and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
Ngonguwe muliiyo wezibi zyesu, kutaamba zyeesu luzutu pele kuti azyenyika yoonse mbiizulwa.
3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
Mulicheechi tulizi kuti twasika aakumuziba: naa twabamba milawu yakwe.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
Oyo uwamba kuti, “Leza ndimwizi,” pesi katabambi milawu yakwe mubeji, alimwi bwini tabumo mulinguwe.
5 but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:
Pele oyo woonse uubamba ijwi lyakwe, mulinguwe nchobeni luyando lwa Leza lwakakwanisigwa. Acheechi tulizi kuti tuli mulinguwe.
6 he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
Kufumbwa uuwamba kuti ukalilide muli Leza welede kweenda mbuli Jesu Kkilisito mbwakeenda.
7 Beloved, no new commandment write I unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye heard.
Nomuyandwa, teensi ndikumulembela mulawu mupya pe, pele mulawu wachiindi ngumwakali aawo kuzwa kumatalikilo. Mulawu wachiindi ndijwi ndimwakamvwa.
8 Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth.
Nikuba boobo ndimulembela mulawu mupya, oyo uuli nkikasimpe muli Kkilisito amulindinywe, nkambo mudima ulimukwiinda, alimwi mumuuni wabwini ulimukumweka kale.
9 He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
Oyo uwamba kuti uli mumumuni kasulide munyiina uchili mumudima alino.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
Oyo uyanda munyina ukkalilide mumumuni alimwi takwe mweenya wakudadalika mulinguwe.
11 But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
Pele oyo uusula munyina uli mumudima alimwi weenda mumudima; tazi nkwayobuya nkambo mudima woofwazya menso aakwe.
12 I write unto you, [my] little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
Ndikulemba kulindinywe, nobana, nkambo izibi zyenu zilalekelelwa nkambo kezina lyakwe.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father.
Ndikumulembela, nomandende, nkambo muli mwizi ooyo uzwa kumatalikilo. Ndilikumulembela, nobalumi banini, nkambo mwakamuzunda mubi. Ndamulembela nobana, nkambo muli mwizi Taata.
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one.
Ndamulembela nomandende, nkambo mulimwizi ooyo uzwa kumatalikilo. Ndamulembela nobalumi banini, nkambo mulanguuzu, alimwi ijwi lya Leza lilikalilide mulindinywe, alimwi mwamuzunda mubi.
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Mutayandi inyika niziba zintu zili munyika. Kuti kakuli umwi uyanda nyika, luyando lwa Taata talumo mulinguwe.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Nkambo zyoonse zili munyika - menso menso azyanyama, nikuba chitumpya menso, akalutiluti kabuumi - tazizwi kuli Taata pele zizwa kunyika.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn )
Alimwi nyika anzyiyanda ziliinda. Pele kufumbwa uuchita luyando lwa Leza uyokkalilila akutamani. (aiōn )
18 Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.
Nobana banini, lyaba hoola lyamamanino. Mbuuli mbumwakamvwa kuti sikukkazya Kkilisito ulasika, lino bamukazya Kkilisito mbiingi basika. Akambo kazeezi kuti nihoola lyamamanino.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.
Bakazwa mulindiswe, pele teensi bakali mulindiswe. Nkambo nikwali kuti balikuzwa muli ndiswe nibakakkalilila aswebo. Pele nibakazwa, zyakatondezya kuti teensi bakazwa muli ndiswe.
20 And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
Pele mula kunanikwa kuzwa ku Musalali, alimwi mulikezi kasimpe.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Teensi ndakamulembela akaambo kakuti tamwizi bwini pe, pele nkambo mulibwizi alimwi taakwe kubeja kuzwa mubwini.
22 Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, [even] he that denieth the Father and the Son.
Ngwani mubeji pele oyo ukazya kuti Jesu ngo Kkilisito? Ooyo muntu ngonguwe sikukazya Kkilisito, mbuuli kuti wakaka Taata a Mwana.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also.
Tawo pe uukkaka Mwana uula Taata. Kufumbwa uuzumina Mwana a Taata ulaawe.
24 As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
Ino inywe, ezyo nzimwakamvwa kumatalikilo amuzileke zikkalilile mulindinywe. Kuti nzimwakamvwa kuzwa kumatalikilo zyakkalilila mulindinywe, muyokkalilila mu Mwana amuli Taata.
25 And this is the promise which he promised us, [even] the life eternal. (aiōnios )
Eechi nchechisyomezyo nchaakapa kuli ndiswe - buumi ibutamani. (aiōnios )
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that would lead you astray.
Ndalemba izintu eezi kuli ndinywe atala abaabo banga balamusowa.
27 And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him.
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.
28 And now, [my] little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Alimwi lino, nobana, amukkalilile muli nguwe, kuchitila kuti nayoopamuka tukabe abusichaamba peepe kuyofwa insoni kunembo lyakwe akusika kwakwe.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him.
Na kamwizi kuti uliluleme, mulizi kuti woonse uuchita bubotu wakazyalwa anguwe.
