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.
Bana na ngai, nazali kokomela bino makambo oyo mpo ete bosala masumu te. Kasi soki esali ete moko kati na bino akweyi na lisumu, tozali na Molobeli moko epai ya Tata: Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo-Na-Bosembo.
2 He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
Amikabaki lokola mbeka mpo na bolimbisi masumu na biso; mpo na masumu na biso kaka te, kasi mpe mpo na masumu ya mokili mobimba.
3 By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
Tala ndenge nini tososolaka ete toyebi Nzambe: ezali mpo ete totosaka mibeko na Ye.
4 If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Moto nyonso oyo alobaka: « Nayebi Nzambe, » kasi atosaka te mibeko ya Nzambe azali mokosi mpe solo ezali kati na ye te.
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:
Moto oyo atosaka Liloba na Nzambe azalaka penza na bolingo ya kokoka mpo na Nzambe kati na ye. Ezali ndenge wana nde tososolaka ete tozali moko na Ye.
6 Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.
Moto nyonso oyo alobaka ete azali kati na Nzambe asengeli mpe kotambola ndenge Yesu atambolaki.
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.
Balingami na ngai, nazali kokomela bino mobeko ya sika te, kasi mobeko ya kala kaka, mobeko oyo bozwaki wuta na ebandeli. Mobeko yango ya kala ezali liloba oyo boyokaki.
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.
Nzokande, nazali mpe kokomela bino mobeko ya sika, mpe sika na yango emonani kati na Yesu mpe kati na bino, pamba te molili ezali kolimwa mpe pole ya solo esili kobanda kongenga.
9 If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.
Moto nyonso oyo alobaka ete azali kati na pole kasi ayinaka ndeko na ye, azali nanu kati na molili.
10 Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him.
Moto nyonso oyo alingaka ndeko na ye azali kati na pole; mpe ezali na eloko moko te kati na ye, oyo ekoki kobetisa ye libaku.
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.
Kasi moto oyo ayinaka ndeko na ye azali kati na molili mpe azali kotambola kati na molili; ayebi te epai azali kokende, pamba te molili esila koboma ye miso.
12 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.
Bana, nazali kokomela bino, pamba te masumu na bino elimbisamaki mpo na Kombo na Yesu-Klisto.
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.
Batata, nazali kokomela bino, pamba te boyebi Ye oyo azala wuta na ebandeli. Bilenge, nazali kokomela bino, pamba te bolongaki Satana.
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.
Bana, nakomeli bino mpo ete boyebi Tata. Batata, nakomeli bino mpo ete boyebi Ye oyo azala wuta na ebandeli. Bilenge, nakomeli bino mpo ete bozali makasi, Liloba na Nzambe ezali kowumela kati na bino, mpe bolongaki Satana.
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.
Bolingaka mokili te; bolingaka mpe te nyonso oyo ezali kati na mokili. Moto oyo alingaka mokili azalaka na bolingo ya Tata te kati na ye,
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.
pamba te nyonso oyo ezali kati na mokili, lokola baposa mabe ya nzoto, posa makasi ya konduka biloko oyo miso ezali kolula, mpe lofundu mpo na biloko; ewuti na Tata te, kasi ewuti na mokili.
17 The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Mokili mpe baposa na yango ezali koleka, kasi moto oyo asalaka mokano ya Nzambe awumelaka tango nyonso. (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.
Bana, tokomi na tango ya suka; ndenge kaka boyokaki ete monguna ya Klisto azali koya, nzokande banguna ya Klisto basili koya sik’oyo ebele, ndenge wana mpe tosengeli koyeba ete tokomi na tango ya suka.
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.
Banguna yango babimelaki kati na biso, kasi bazalaki penza bato na biso te. Pamba te soki bazalaki bato na biso, balingaki kotikala na biso; kasi batikaki biso mpo ete emonana polele ete bango nyonso bazali bato na biso te.
20 You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
Nzokande bino, bozali na epakolami kowuta na Molimo Mosantu, mpe bino nyonso bozali na boyebi ya nyonso.
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.
Ngai nakomeli bino mpo ete boyebi yango mpe mpo ete lokuta moko te ewutaka na solo; kasi ezali te mpo boyebi yango te.
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.
Boye nani mokosi? Mokosi azali moto oyo awangani ete Yesu azali Klisto. Mpe moto ya ndenge wana azali monguna ya Klisto: awanganaka Tata mpe Mwana.
23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
Moto nyonso oyo awangani Yesu azali mpe na Tata te. Moto oyo atatoli Yesu azali mpe na Tata.
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.
Kasi bino, bosimba makasi makambo oyo boyokaki wuta na ebandeli. Soki ezali penza kowumela kati na bino, bokowumela mpe kati na Mwana mpe kati na Tata.
Mpe tala elaka oyo apesaki biso: bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
26 I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
Nazali kokomela bino makambo oyo na tina na bato oyo bazali komeka kopengwisa bino.
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.
Kasi mpo na bino, epakolami ya Molimo oyo bozwaki kowuta na Klisto ezali kowumela kati na bino. Boye, bozali lisusu na posa te ete bapesa bino malakisi. Kasi lokola Molimo ya Klisto apesaka bino malakisi na tina na makambo nyonso, lokola mpe apesaka malakisi ya solo kasi ya lokuta te, bowumela kati na malakisi yango ndenge kaka bapesaki bino yango.
28 And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
Sik’oyo, bana na ngai, bowumela ya kokangama na Klisto mpo ete, na ngonga nyonso oyo akomimonisa, tozala na elikya mpe toyoka soni te na liboso na Ye tango akoya.
29 If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.
Boyebi malamu ete Klisto azali sembo; boye bosengeli mpe koyeba ete moto nyonso oyo asalaka makambo ya sembo azali mwana na Nzambe.
