1 John 2
1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
Ezi ụmụntakịrị m, ana m edere unu ihe ndị a ka unu ghara imehie. Ma ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla emehie, anyị nwere onye na-ekwuchite ọnụ anyị nʼihu Nna ahụ. Ọ bụ Jisọs Kraịst, Onye ezi omume ahụ.
2 He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
Ọ bụ onye jiri onwe ya chụọ aja nʼihi ikpuchiri anyị mmehie anyị, ma ọ bụghị naanị nʼihi mmehie anyị, ọ bụkwa nʼihi mmehie ụwa niile.
3 By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
Otu a ka anyị si amata na anyị maara onye ọ bụ, ma ọ bụrụ na anyị erube isi nye iwu ya niile.
4 If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Onye ahụ na-ekwu sị, “Amaara m ya,” ma ọ dịghị eme ihe o nyere nʼiwu bụ onye okwu ụgha, eziokwu ahụ adịghịkwa nʼime ya.
5 But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:
Ma ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla na-erube isi nʼokwu ya, nʼezie, ịhụnanya Chineke bụ ihe emere ka o zuo oke nʼime ya. Ọ bụ otu a ka anyị si amata na anyị nọ nʼime ya.
6 Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.
Onye ọbụla na-ekwu na ya bi nʼime ya kwesiri ibi ndụ dịka ya.
7 Beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old one, which you have had from the beginning. This commandment is the message you have heard.
Ndị enyi m hụrụ nʼanya, anaghị m edere unu ihe gbasara iwu ọhụrụ, kama ọ bụ otu iwu ochie ahụ, nke na-adị site na mbụ. Iwu ochie a bụ nke e ziri unu ozi banyere ya.
8 Then again, I am also writing to you a new commandment, which is true in Him and also in you. For the darkness is fading and the true light is already shining.
Ma otu ọ dị, ana m edere unu iwu ọhụrụ, nke bụ eziokwu nʼime ya na nʼime unu. Nʼihi na ọchịchịrị na-agafe, ezi ìhè ebidola ịchawapụta.
9 If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.
Onye ọbụla na-asị na ya nọ nʼìhè ma na-akpọ nwanna ya asị, na-anọ nʼọchịchịrị ruo ugbu a.
10 Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him.
Onye ọbụla na-ahụ nwanna ya nʼanya na-ebi nʼime ihe ahụ ọ dịkwaghị ìhè dị nʼime onye dị otu a bụ nke ga-eme ya ka ọ sụọ ngọngọ.
11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Ma onye ọbụla na-akpọ nwanna ya asị nọ nʼọchịchịrị, na-ejegharịkwa nʼime ọchịchịrị; ọ maghị ebe ọ na-aga nʼihi na ọchịchịrị ahụ emeela ka o kpuo ìsì.
12 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.
Ana m edere unu ihe ndị a ụmụntakịrị m nʼihi na a gbagharala unu mmehie niile site nʼaha ya.
13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.
Ana m edere unu ndị bụ nna ihe ndị a, nʼihi na unu maara onye ahụ na-adị site na mbụ. Ana m edere unu ụmụ okorobịa, nʼihi na unu emeriela ajọ onye ahụ.
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 abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
Ana m edere unu ụmụntakịrị, nʼihi na unu maara nna ahụ. Ana m edere unu ndị nna, nʼihi na unu maara onye ahụ na-adị site na mbụ. Ana m edere unu ụmụ okorobịa, nʼihi na unu siri ike, okwu Chineke na-ebikwa nʼime unu, unu emeriekwala ajọ onye ahụ.
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Kwụsịnụ ịhụ ụwa nʼanya, ya na ihe niile dị nʼụwa. Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ahụ ụwa nʼanya ịhụnanya nke Nna adịghị nʼime ya.
16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.
Nʼihi na ihe niile dị nʼụwa, ihe ndị ahụ niile anụ ahụ anyị, na anya anyị na-achọ, ya na ịnya isi mmadụ banyere ihe ọ bụ na ihe o nwere, esiteghị nʼebe Nna nọ, kama ha sitere nʼụwa.
17 The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Ụwa na ọchịchọ ọjọọ ya niile na-agafe agafe, ma onye ahụ na-eme uche Chineke ga-adị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. (aiōn g165)
18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.
Ụmụ m, nke a bụ oge awa nke ikpeazụ. Dịka unu nụrụ na otu onye na-emegide Kraịst na-abịa, ọ bụladị ugbu a, ọtụtụ ndị na-emegide Kraịst abịala. Otu a ka anyị si amata na ọ bụ oge awa nke ikpeazụ.
19 They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us.
Ha si nʼetiti anyị pụọ, ma ha abụghị ndị nke anyị nʼezie. Nʼihi na a sị na anyị na ha bụ otu, ha gaara aga nʼihu soro anyị nọdụ. Ma ọpụpụ ha pụrụ na-egosi na ọ dịghị onye nʼime ha sonyere anyị.
20 You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
Ma unu nwere otite mmanụ sitere nʼOnye Nsọ ahụ, unu niile matakwara ihe niile.
21 I have not written to you because you lack knowledge of the truth, but because you have it, and because no lie comes from the truth.
Ya mere, anaghị m edegara unu akwụkwọ a dịka ndị na-amaghị eziokwu kama nʼihi na unu maara ya na nʼihi na ọ dịghị okwu ụgha ọbụla na-esi nʼeziokwu ahụ apụta.
22 Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
Onye bụ onye okwu ụgha? Ọ bụ onye ahụ na-asị na Jisọs abụghị Kraịst ahụ. Onye dị otu a bụ onye na-emegide Kraịst, nʼihi na ọ nabataghị Nna ahụ na Ọkpara ya.
23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
Onye ọbụla jụrụ Ọkpara ahụ enwekwaghị Nna ahụ; ma onye ọbụla nabatara Ọkpara ahụ nwekwara Nna ahụ.
24 As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.
Hụnụ na ihe unu nụrụ site na mmalite na-anọgide nʼime unu. Ọ bụrụ na ihe unu nụrụ na mbido ebiri nʼime unu, unu ga-anọgide nʼime Ọkpara ahụ na nʼime Nna ahụ.
Ihe o kwere anyị na nkwa bụ nke a, ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
26 I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
Ana m edere unu ihe ndị a banyere ndị ahụ na-agbalị iduhie unu.
27 And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.
Ma unu onwe unu, otite mmanụ ahụ unu natara nʼaka ya na-anọgide nʼime unu, nʼihi nke a, onye ozizi ọzọ adịghị unu mkpa. Dịka otite mmanụ ya na-ezi unu ihe banyere ihe niile, bụrụkwa eziokwu, ọ bụghị okwu ụgha. Ya mere, dịka o zikwara unu, na-anọgidenụ nʼime ya.
28 And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
Ugbu a ụmụntakịrị m, nọgidesienụ ike nʼime ya, ka ọ ga-abụ mgbe e mere ka ọ pụta ìhè, anyị ga-abụ ndị obi siri ike, ndị ihere na-agaghị eme, nʼihu ya mgbe ọ bịara.
29 If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.
Ọ bụrụ na unu matara na ọ bụ onye ezi omume, unu maara na onye ọbụla nke na-eme ihe ziri ezi bụ onye a mụrụ site na ya.
