< 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.
Ashibhanangu bhungumpinganga, ngunakunnjandishilanga gene malobhe gano nkupinga nnatendanje yambi. Ibhaga mundu atendaga yambi, tukwete bhakutubheleketela kwa a Tati, na bhene bhakutubheleketelabho, ni a Yeshu Kilishitu bhakwete aki.
2 He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
Bhenebho ni mbepei jishoshiywe kwa ligongo lya leshelelwa yambi yetu, wala nngabha kwa ligongo lya yambi yetu pe, ikabheje kwa ligongo lya yambi ya bhandu bhowe.
3 By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
Uwe tumumanyi kuti twaamanyi a Nnungu, ibhaga tukunduga amuli yabho.
4 If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Mundu aitembaga kuti, abhamanyi a Nnungu akuno akaakunda amuli yabho, jwenejo ni nnami, na jwangali kweli mmunda jakwe.
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:
Ikabheje jwene akunda lilobhe lya a Nnungu, analangula shakuti kwaapinga a Nnungu mmunda jakwe. Kwa lyeneli, tumumanyi kuti tunaalundana na a Nnungu.
6 Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.
Mundu jojowe abheleketa kuti analundana na a Nnungu, anapinjikwa kutama malinga shibhaatemi a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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.
Bhakilishitu ajangunji ngakunnjandishilanga amuli ja ambi, ikabheje ja bhukala jinnjimanyinji kuumila kundandubho. Na jene amuli ja bhukala, ni lilobhe limpilikenenje lila.
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.
Nkali nneyo ngunakunnjandishilanga amuli ja ambi, yani lilobhe lili lya kweli nkati jabho a Kilishitu na nkati jetu, pabha lubhindu lunapita na shilangaya sha kweli tayali shinalangaya.
9 If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.
Mundu abheleketa kuti mwali nshilangaya akuno alikumpata nkilishitu nnjakwe, jwenejo launo mwali nnubhindu.
10 Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him.
Jwene akumpinga nkilishitu njakwe, anatama nshilangaya na nkati jakwe shakwapi sha kummulaya kutenda yambi.
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.
Ikabheje akumpata nkilishitu njakwe, anatama na owa nnubhindu na akakukumanya kwa kwenda, pabha lubhindu lushikunng'ibhila meyo.
12 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.
Ngunakunnjandishilanga mmanganya ashibhanangu, pabha nshileshelelwanga yambi yenunji kwa lina lya a Kilishitu.
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.
Ngunakunnjandishilanga mmanganyanji bhanangulungwa, pabha mwaamanyinji Bhene bhaapali kuumila kundandubho ja indu yowe, ngunakunnjandishilanga mmanganya mmashanda, pabha nshikunkombolanga Lishetani jula.
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.
Ngunakunnjandishilanga mmanganyanji ashibhanangu, pabha mwaamanyinji a Tati. Ngunakunjandishilanga mmanganyanji bhanangulungwa, pabha mwaamanyinji bhaaliji kundandubho ja indu yowe. Ngunakunnjandishilanga mmanganyanji mmashanda, pabha nshikolanga mashili na lilobhe lya a Nnungu linatama nkati jenunji, na munkombwelenje Lishetani.
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.
Nnashipinganje shilambolyo, wala indu itama nshilambolyo. Mundu ashipingaga shilambolyo akakombola kwaapinga a Tati a Nnungu.
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.
Pabha kila shindu shili pa Shilambolyo, malinga kukongolela ilokoli ya pa shiilu, ilokoli ya meyo, na kuipuna kwa nndamo, yene yowei ikaakoposhela kwa a Tati, ikabheje kuikopoka ku shilambolyo.
17 The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Shilambolyo na ilokoli yakwe inapita, ikabheje mundu atenda ibhaapinga a Nnungu shatame pitipiti. (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.
Ashibhanangu, gegano ni malanga ga kumpelo. Mwapilikenenje kuti akakwaakunda a Kilishitu shaaishe, ikabheje nkali nnaino bhakwaataukanga a Kilishitu bhabhagwinji bhaikengenenje. Kwa nneyo tumumanyi kuti gegano ni malanga ga kumpelo.
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.
Bhene bhandunjibha, mubhakoposhelenje munkumbi gwetu, ikabheje bhakalinginjiji bhetu, na kwa lyene ligongolyo bhatuleshilenje. Kaliji bhakalinginji na uwe, bhakatemingene na uwe. Ikabheje bhashikutulekanga kupinga imanyishe kuti bhakalinginjiji bha munkumbi gwetu.
20 You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
Ikabheje nshigumbaywanga naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, na mmowenji nnjimanyinji kweli.
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.
Bhai, nangannjandishilanga pabha nkakujimanyanga kweli, ikabheje pabha nnjimanyinji kweli na kabhili pabha gwakwa unami gogowe ukoposhela nkweli.
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.
Gani ali nnami? Ni jwene atauka kuti a Yeshu nngabha a Kilishitu. Jweneju ni akakwaakunda a Kilishitu, pabha anakwaakana a Tati naka Mwana gwabho.
23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
Jwene akumposhela Mwana, akakwaaposhela na a Tati nneila peila, ikabheje akumposhela Mwana, anakwaaposhela a Tati nneila peila.
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.
Kwa nneyo nkamulanje mmitima jenunji majiganyo gumpilikenenje kuumila ku ndandubho. Ibhaga nkagulilangaga majiganyo gumpilikenenje kuumila ku ndandubho, shintamangananje nkati jika Mwana na a Tati
25 And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Na a Kilishitu bhayene bhatupele miadi ja gumi gwa pitipiti. (aiōnios g166)
26 I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
Njikunnjandishilanga gene malobhega kwa ligongo lya bhandu bhaapinganga kumpuganyanga.
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.
Ikabheje a Kilishitu bhashikutupa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo. Na pabha Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo anatama nkati jetu, nkapinjikwanga kujiganywa naka mundu jojowe, pabha Mbumu jwabho anakunnjiganyanga indu yowe. Jwene Mbumujo anakunjiganyanga ya kweli na wala akabheleketa unami. Bhai malinga Mbumu shakuti kunjiganyanga, ntamangane nkati ja a Kilishitu.
28 And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
Na nnaino ashibhanangu, ntamangananje nkati jabho a Kilishitu, nkupinga tubhe na ngulupai ja kweli malanga gubhapinga koposhela, na tunakole oni lyubha lishibhabhuje.
29 If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.
Mmumanyinji kuti a Kilishitu ni bhakwete aki, kwa nneyo nnapinjikwanga nneila peila kumumanya kuti kila mundu atenda aki, ni mwana jwa a Nnungu.
