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.
Mobana bame ndamulembelenga makani aya kwambeti mutakensa byaipa. Nsombi na umbi lepishi, tukute weshi kutunyamfwa kayi ukute kutwambililako ku Bata nendi uyo ni Yesu Klistu walulama.
2 He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
Yesu enshila bwipishi bwetu mobukte kulekelelwa, kutambowa eti bwipishi bwetu bonka nsombi ne bwa bantu nabambi bonse.
3 By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
Na tulakonkonga Milawo ya Lesa empotwela kwinshiba eti tumwishi.
4 If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Na muntu wambeti, “Ame ndimwinshi Lesa”, Kakuli nkakute kukonka Milawo mubuyumi bwakendi ekwinshibeti nimubepeshi kayi liya cakubinga.
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:
Nsombi na muntu lasungunga maswi a Lesa, luyand lwa Lesa luli muli endiye. Pakwinga encotukute kwinshibeti eti tuli muli endiye kayi nendiye uli nenjafwe.
6 Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.
Uyo lamabangeti bwikalo bwakame buli muli Lesa, welela kuba nebwikalo mbuli Yesu ncalekala.
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.
Omwasunika, nkandamulembelenga mulawo walino lino sobwe, nsombi niwepele usa ngomwalikwinshiba kufuma kumatatikilo. Mulawo uyu wakeendi emakani onka ngomwalanyumfwa.
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.
Necikabeco mulawo uyu ngondamulembelenga niwalino lino pakwinga cakubinga cawo cilabonekelenga patuba muli Yesu kayi ne muli njamwe. Lino mushinshe ulenga akupwa kayi mumuni wancine ncine ulatatiki kubala kendi.
9 If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.
Na muntu wambeti uli mumumuni nsombi nkali wapatana ne munendi, muntu wamushoboyu ucili mumushinshe.
10 Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him.
Uliyense usuni munendi uli mumumuni, Kayi muli endiye muliya cintu cela kulengesheti epishe.
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.
Muntu shikupana ne munendi ucili mumushinshe kayi ucenda mumushinshe pakwinga ulamupofolo mensu.
12 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.
Ndalembelenga njamwe mobana bame, pakwinga ukute kumulekelela bwipishi bwenu cebo ca Yesu Klistu.
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.
Ndalembelenga njamwe mobamashali bakame batuloba pakwinga mumwishi uyo walikubako kufuma kumatatikilo. Ndalembelenga njamwe batuloba batwanike pakwinga mulamukomo waipa.
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.
Ndalembelenga njamwe mobana bame pakwinga mumwinshi. Ndalembelenga njamwe mobashali bakame pakwinga mumwinshi uyo walikubako kufuma kumatatikilo. Ndalembelenga njamwe batuloba batwanike pakwinga mulamukomo waipa.
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.
Kamutasuna cishi capanshi ne bintu byonse bilimo. Pakwinga na muntu lasunu cishi capanshi, ekwambeti nkabasuni Bata.
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.
Pakwinga byonse bya pacishi capanshi, ekwambeti ibyo mubili mbyoula kumbwanga, ne byonse bantu mbyobala kumbwanga na balabibono ne byonse byeshikulengesha muntu kulisumpula nkabikute kufuma kuli Bata nsombi bikute kufuma mucishi.
17 The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Lino cishi nebintu bili mukati ibyo bantu mbyobakute kukumbwa bilapitinga, nsombi abo balenshinga luyando lwa Lesa nibakekale muyayayaya. (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.
Mobana bame kupwa kwa cishi kulipepi, mwalanyumfwa kwambeti mulwani wa Yesu Klistu nakese, nomba balwani ba Yesu Klistu balesa kendi bangi. Neco tucinshi kwambeti kupwa kwa cishi kulipepi.
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.
Aba bantu nkabali kuba likoto lyetu weco ncobalatushila, pakwinga nebali kuba ba likoto lyetu nebalekala nenjafwe. Nsombi balatushiya kwambeti cinshibiketi nkabalipo mukalikoto ketu.
20 You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
Nsombi amwe Yesu walamupa Mushimu Uswepa, neco mucinshi cakubinga.
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.
Nkandamulembelenga makani awa pacebo cakwambeti nkamucinshi cakubinga, nsombi amwe mucinshi kwambeti kuliyawa bundengamano bweshi kufuma mucakubinga.
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.
Nomba mubepeshi niyani? Ni uyo labulunga kusumineti Yesu ni Mupulushi. Bantu bamushoboyu ebalwani ba Yesu, pakwinga balakana Bata ne Mwana.
23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
Uliyense lakananga Mwana lakananga ne Bata. Lanyumfwilinga Mwana uli ne Bata.
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.
Nsombi amwe bintu ibyo mbyomwalanyumfwa pakuyamba bibe mumyoyo yenu. Na mulasungu mulumbe uyu numwikale muli Mwana ne Bata kwa muyayaya.
Neco ncalashomesha kupa nibuyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
26 I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
Ndamulembelenga makani awa pacebo ca abo balayandanga kumubepa.
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.
Nsombi amwe, Yesu Klistu walamupa Mushimu Uswepa ukute kwikala muli njamwe. Neco nkakulayandikinga shikwiyisha naumbi, pakwinga Mushimu Uswepa ngomwalatambula ukute kumwiyisha byonse, kayi mbyokute kumwiyisha nibyakubinga ntebyo bya bundengamano. Pacebo ico kamwikalilila muli Yesu kwelana mbuli ncalamwiyisha.
28 And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
Lino mobana bame kamwikalilila muli endiye kwamwambeti pabushiku mpoti akese, katutakanyumfwa buyowa ne nsoni.
29 If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.
Nomba pakwinga mucinshi kwambeti Yesu Klistu waswepa, kayi mwelela lino kwinshiba kwambeti uliyense lenshinga bintu byaina ni Mwana wa Lesa.
