< 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;
Wana wangu yanuwafira, nuwalembera vitwatira avi su namtenda vidoda. Kumbiti muntu pakatenda vidoda, twanayu ulii yakatuteteya kwa Tati, Yesu Kristu yakamfiriziya Mlungu.
2 and he is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.
Yomberi ndo tambiku yayilaviwitwi kulekiziya vidoda vyetu, vidoda vyetu hera ndiri kumbiti na kulekiziya viraa vidoda vya wantu woseri wa pasipanu.
3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
Twenga twana unakaka kuwera tumumana Mlungu handa patugajimira malagaliru gakuwi.
4 He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
Muntu pakatakula kuwera kamumana Mlungu, uganu kagajimira ndiri malagaliru gakuwi, muntu ayu kawera na upayira na unakaka kwahera mngati mwakuwi,
5 but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
Kumbiti muntu yoseri yakashijimira shisoweru sha Mlungu, ufiru wa Mlungu uwera teratera nakamu mngati mwakuwi. Ayi ndo ntambu yatuvimana nakaka kuwera tuwera mngati mwakuwi.
6 He that says he abides in him ought, even as he walked, himself also [so] to walk.
Muntu yoseri yakatakula kuwera kalikolerana pamuhera na Mlungu, kafiruwa kulikala gambira Yesu Kristu ntambu yakalikaliti.
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.
Waganja wangu, lilagaliru ali lyanuwalembera lyasyayi ndiri, kumbiti ndo lilagaliru liraa lilii ligona lyamuweriti nalu kwanjira kwanja. Lilagaliru ali ligona ndo ujumbi ulii wampikaniriti.
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.
Pamuhera na hangu, nankuwalembera lilagaliru lyasyayi na unakaka wakuwi woneka kwa yomberi na mngati mwenu, toziya luwindu lyankupita na ulangala ulii wa nakaka wanja kala kulangala.
9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
Muntu yoseri yakatakula kuwera kamuulangala, uganu kankumkalalira mlongu gwaku, muntu ayu kankali muluwindu.
10 He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
Muntu yoseri yakamfira mlongu gwakuwi, kankulikala muulangala na kwahera shintu shoseri mngati mwakuwi shakumtenda muntu gwingi katendi vidoda.
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.
Kumbiti muntu yakamkalalira mlongu gwakuwi kankulikala na kankutyanga muluwindu na kavimana ndiri kwakagenda, toziya luwindu limtenda lwisi.
12 I write to you, children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
Nuwalembera mwenga wana, toziya vidoda vyenu vilekiziwa kwa litawu lya Kristu.
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.
Nuwalembireni mwenga ashina tati, toziya mumumana Kristu yakaweriti kwanjira kwanja. Nuwalembera mwenga wantemba, toziya mumkanka Mkondola ulii.
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].
Nuwalembera mwenga wana toziya mumumana Tati. Nuwalembera mwenga ashina tati toziya mumumana Kristu ndo yakaweriti kwanjira kwanja. Nuwalembera mwenga wantemba toziya muwera na makakala na shisoweru sha Mlungu shilikala mungati mwenu na mumkanka Mkondola ulii.
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;
Namupafira pasipanu, ama shoseri shashiwera mupasipanu. Muntu yakapafira pasipanu, ufira wa Tati kwahera mngati mwakuwi.
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.
Toziya kila shintu shashiwera mupasipanu, matamata zidoda zya nshimba, matamata zidoda zya masu, msindu gwagujegwa na ulunda, vyoseri avi vilawa ndiri kwa Tati, kumbiti vilawa mupasipanu.
17 And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity. (aiōn )
Pasipanu pamuhera na matamata zoseri zyaziwera mngati mwakuwi vyankupita, kumbiti muntu yakatenda mafiliru ga Mlungu, yomberi kankulikala mashaka goseri. (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.
Wana wangu, ashi ndo shipindi sha upeleru. Ntambu yampikaniriti kuwera Mngondu gwa Kristu kankwiza, su wangondu wa Kristu wasoka kala. Toziya ayi twenga tuvimana kuwera shipindi sha upeleru shapakwegera.
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.
Womberi walawiti kwa twenga, kumbiti waweriti ndiri nakaka watwenga. Toziya mewaweri watwenga mewalikali na twenga, kumbiti kulawa kwawu kulanguziyiti kuwera kwahera ata yumu gwawu yakaweriti gwa twenga.
20 And ye have [the] unction from the holy [one], and ye know all things.
Kumbiti mwenga muwanka Rohu Mnanagala kulawa kwa Kristu, na mwenga mwawoseri muwumana unakaka.
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.
Su nuwalembera ndiri toziya muwumana ndiri unakaka, kumbiti muwumana na mwenga muvimana kuwera kwahera upayira woseri yawulawiti muwunakaka.
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.
Gaa yakawera mpayu? Mpayu ndo ulii yakalema kuwera Yesu ndo Kristu ndiri. Muntu gwa ntambu ayi kawera mngondu gwa Kristu, toziya kankumlema Tati na Mwana.
23 Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Toziya muntu yoseri yakamlema Mwana, kamlema Tati viraa na muntu yoseri yakamjimira Mwana, su kamjimira na Tati viraa.
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.
Muloli weri kuwera shilii shampikiniriti kwanjira kwanja na shilikali mumyoyu mwenu. Handa ujumbi awu yamuwupikaniriti kwanjira kwanja paukala mngati mwenu, su mulikala mashaka goseri mukulikolerana na Mwana na Tati.
25 And this is the promise which he has promised us, life eternal. (aiōnios )
Na Kristu mweni katupananiti lagilu lyakatugambiriti twenga kuwera hakatupanani ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (aiōnios )
26 These things have I written to you concerning those who lead you astray:
Nuwalembera vitwatira avi kuusu wantu walii yawajera kuwapotuziya.
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.
Kumbiti mwenga mumwankiti Rohu Mnanagala kulawa kwa Kristu, kalikala mngati mwenu. Na Rohu ayu ntambu yakalikala mngati mwenu, mufiriziwa ndiri kufundwa na muntu yoseri. Toziya Rohu gwakuwi kankuwafunda vitwatira vyoseri na mafundu gakuwi ndo ganakaka, gapayira ndiri. Su mugakoli mafundu ga Rohu ayu na musigali kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu.
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.
Mwawana yanuwafira, mwendereyi kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu, su yomberi pakalawira twenga tuweri na ugangamala pota kuwera na toziya ya twenga kulififa kwa soni lishaka lya kwiza kwakuwi.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
Muvimana kuwera Kristu kamfiriziya nentu Mlungu, su mfiruwa kuvimana viraa kuwera kila muntu yakamfiriziya Mlungu, kawera mwana gwa Mlungu.
