< 1 John 2 >
1 My children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ [the] righteous;
Achiŵanangu ŵakunonyelwa, ngunlembela maloŵe ga, kuti nkatenda sambi. Iŵaga jwalijose atesile sambi, tukwete nkamusi jwakutupopelela kwa Akunnungu Atati pamalo petu, jwele ali Che Yesu Kilisito, jwali jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
2 and he is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.
Kilisito nsyene ali mbopesi jajityochekwe kwa ligongo lya kulecheleswa sambi syetu, ni ngaŵa kwa sambi syetu pe, nambo iyoyo kwa ligongo lya sambi sya ŵandu wose ŵaali pachilambo.
3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
Twajitichisyaga Malajisyo ga Akunnungu, pelepo, tukukombola kuimanyilila isyene kuti tukwamanyilila Akunnungu.
4 He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
Mundu jwakuti akwamanyilila Akunnungu, nambo ngakugajitichisya malajisyo gakwe, jwele mundu ali jwaunami ni usyene nganiupagwa munkati mwakwe.
5 but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
Nambo jwalijose jwakwitichisya Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, unonyelo wa Akunnungu umalilwe munkati mwakwe. Kwanti yele tukukombola kumanyilila isyene kuti tukulumbikana ni Akunnungu.
6 He that says he abides in him ought, even as he walked, himself also [so] to walk.
Mundu jwakusala kuti alumbikene ni Akunnungu, atameje mpela iŵatamaga Che Yesu nsyene.
7 Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard.
Achambusanga ŵangu ŵangunnonyela, lilajisyo lingunlembela li ngaŵa lilajisyo lya sambano, nambo lilajisyo lya kalakala, limwaliji nalyo kutyochela kundanda. Lilajisyo lya kalakala lyo, lili utenga umwaupikene.
8 Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines.
Atamuno, ngunlembela lilajisyo lya sambano, liloŵe lya usyene lili munkati mwa Kilisito iyoyopeyo likuwoneka munkati mwenu. Pakuŵa chipi chimasile ni lilanguka lya usyene litandite kulanguchisya.
9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
Mundu jwalijose jwakuti akutama mu lilanguka nambo akunchima nlongo njakwe, mundu jo akutama mu chipi mpaka lelo jino.
10 He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
Ni mundu jwalijose jwakunnonyela nlongo njakwe, jwelejo akutama mu lulanga, nombe munkati mwakwe ngapagwa chindu chachikwatendekasya ŵandu ŵane atende sambi.
11 But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Nambo mundu jwalijose jwakunchima nlongo njakwe jwelejo akutama muchipi, ni akwenda muchipi, ngakukumanyilila kwakwaula, ligongo chipi chatuswile meeso gakwe.
12 I write to you, children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe ŵanache ligongo nnecheleswe sambi syenu kwa litala lya aila yaitesile Kilisito.
13 I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked [one]. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe achatati ligongo mummanyi Kilisito juŵaliji kutyochela kundanda. Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe achachanda ligongo mumpundile Shetani.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked [one].
Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe ŵanache pakuŵa mummanyi Akunnungu Atati ŵetu. Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe achatati, pakuŵa mummanyi Kilisito juŵaliji kutyochela kundanda. Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe achachanda ligongo nkwete machili ni Liloŵe lya Akunnungu likutama nkati mwenu, ni ŵanyamwe mumpundile Jwangalumbana jula.
15 Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him;
Nkachinonyela chilambo atamuno chachilichose chachili mu chilambo. Iŵaga mundu akuchinonyela chilambo ngaakombola kwanonyela Akunnungu Atati ŵetu.
16 because all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Pakuŵa indu yose yaili pachilambo, mpela ila tama sya chiilu syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo ni tama ja indu yaikulolecheka kwa meeso, ni kulifunila ipanje inkwete, yele yose ngaikutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu nambo ikutyochela pachilambo.
17 And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity. (aiōn )
Chilambo ni indu yakuilajila ŵandu ikupita, nambo mundu jwakuipanganya yaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu, jwelejo chatame moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn )
18 Little children, it is [the] last hour, and, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, whence we know that it is [the] last hour.
Achiŵanangu, aka kali katema kambesi. Mpela imwatite kupilikana kuti chaiche jwakunkanila Kilisito, ni sambano ŵakwakanila Kilisito aikangene achajinji. Ni kwayele tukuimanyilila kuti akano kali katema kambesi.
19 They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none are of us.
Ŵandu wo ŵatyochele pasikati jetu, nambo nganaŵa mu mpingo wetu pakuŵa akaliji mu mpingo wetu, akasigalile ni uweji. Nambo ŵatulesile, kuti ilolechele pangasisika kuti nganaŵa mu mpingo wetu.
20 And ye have [the] unction from the holy [one], and ye know all things.
Nambo ŵanyamwe mumpochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni Kilisito ni wose nkuumanyilila usyene.
21 I have not written to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
Ngunnembela ŵanyamwe ngaŵa pakuŵa ngankuumanyilila usyene, nambo ligongo nkuumanyilila ni sooni nkuimanyilila yakuti, unami wauli wose ngaukutyochela mu usyene.
22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
Ana nduni jwaali jwaunami? Ŵandu ŵakukanila kuti Che Yesu nganaŵa Kilisito. Ŵandu mpela ŵelewo ali ŵammagongo ŵa Kilisito, pakuŵa akunkana Akunnungu Atati ŵetu pamo ni Mwana.
23 Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Mundu jwakunkana Mwana iyoyo akunkana Atati nombe, ni mundu jwakunjitichisya Mwana iyoyo akunjitichisya Atati nombe.
24 As for you let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
Nipele, utenga umwaupilikene chitandile kundanda utame mmitima jenu. Utenga wo watamaga mmitima jenu, nipele, ŵanyamwe chinlonjele nkulumbikana ni Mwana ni Atati.
25 And this is the promise which he has promised us, life eternal. (aiōnios )
Achi ni chilanga chaatulanjile Kilisito, chaatupe umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios )
26 These things have I written to you concerning those who lead you astray:
Nanlembele ŵanyamwe gelega nkati ŵandu ŵakusaka kunlyungasya ŵanyamwe.
27 and yourselves, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Nambo ŵanyamwe, mumpochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kutyochela kwa Kilisito. Nombejo akwendelechela kutama munkati mwenu, kwayele ngankulajila mundu anjiganye. Pakuŵa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akunjiganya indu yose, ni majiganyo gakwe gali ga usyene, ni nganigaŵa ga unami. Nipele ngakamulichisye majiganyo ga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni kulonjela nkulumbikana ni Kilisito.
28 And now, children, abide in him, that if he be manifested we may have boldness, and not be put to shame from before him at his coming.
Sambano achiŵanangu, nlonjele nkulumbikana nawo kuti katema kachauje ngatujogopa ni ngatukola soni paujo pao lyuŵa lyakwika kwakwe.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
Nkumanyilila kuti Kilisito ali jwakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, iyoyo mmanyilile kuti ŵandu ŵakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵelewo ali ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu.
