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;
Vana vangu vadiki, zvinhu izvi ndinokunyorerai, kuti musatadza. Uye kana umwe achitadza, tine Murevereri kuna Baba, Jesu Kristu wakarurama;
2 and he is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.
uye iye muripo wekuyananisa wezvivi zvedu; kwete wezvedu chetewo, asiwo wezvenyika yese.
3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
Uye mune izvi tinoziva kuti tinomuziva, kana tichichengeta mirairo yake.
4 He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
Uyo anoti: Ndinomuziva, asi asingachengeti mirairo yake, murevi wenhema, nemaari chokwadi hachimo;
5 but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
asi ani nani anochengeta shoko rake, zvirokwazvo rudo rwaMwari rwakaperedzerwa maari. Naizvozvi tinoziva kuti tiri maari.
6 He that says he abides in him ought, even as he walked, himself also [so] to walk.
Uyo anoti anogara maari iye anofanirawo kufamba saizvozvo sezvaakafamba iyewo.
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.
Hama, handinyori murairo mutsva kwamuri, asi murairo mutsaru, wamakange munawo kubva pakutanga; murairo mutsaru ishoko ramakanzwa kubva pakutanga.
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.
Ndinopamha kukunyorerai murairo mutsva, chiri chinhu chechokwadi maari nemamuri; nokuti rima rinopfuura, zvino chiedza chechokwadi chadovhenekera.
9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
Uyo anoti ari muchiedza, achivengawo hama yake, ari murima kusvikira zvino.
10 He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
Uyo anoda hama yake anogara muchiedza, uye hapana chigumbuso maari.
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.
Asi uyo anovenga hama yake ari murima, uye anofamba murima, haaziviwo kwaanoenda, nokuti rima rakapofumadza meso ake.
12 I write to you, children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
Ndinonyorera imwi, vana vadiki, nokuti zvivi makazvikanganwirwa nekuda kwezita rake.
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.
Ndinonyorera imwi, madzibaba, nokuti makamuziva uripo kubva pakutanga. Ndinonyorera imwi, vadiki, nokuti makakunda wakaipa. Ndinonyorera imwi, vanana, nokuti makaziva Baba.
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].
Ndanyorera imwi, madzibaba, nokuti makamuziva iye wakange aripo kubva pakutanga. Ndanyora kwamuri, vadiki, nokuti makasimba, uye shoko raMwari rinogara mamuri uye makakunda wakaipa.
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;
Musada nyika, kana zvinhu zviri munyika. Kana umwe achida nyika, rudo rwaBaba harwusi maari.
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.
Nokuti zvese zviri munyika, kuchiva kwenyama, nekuchiva kwameso, nekuzvikudza kweupenyu, hazvibvi kuna Baba, asi zvinobva panyika.
17 And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity. (aiōn g165)
Uye nyika inopfuura, nekuchiva kwayo; asi anoita kuda kwaMwari anogara kusvika rinhi narinhi. (aiōn g165)
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.
Vana vadiki, inguva yekupedzisira; uye sezvamakanzwa kuti mupikisi waKristu anouya, naikozvino vazhinji vava vapikisi vaKristu; ndizvo zvinotizivisa kuti yava nguva yekupedzisira.
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.
Vakabuda kwatiri, asi vakange vasiri vanobva kwedu, nokuti dai vaibva kwedu, vangadai vaigara nesu; asi vakabuda kuti varatidzwe kuti havasi vese vanobva kwedu.
20 And ye have [the] unction from the holy [one], and ye know all things.
Asi imwi mune kuzodzwa kunobva kune Mutsvene, uye munoziva zvinhu zvese.
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.
Handina kukunyorerai nokuti hamuzivi chokwadi, asi nokuti munochiziva, uye nokuti hakutongorina nhema dzingabva pachokwadi.
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.
Ndiani murevi wenhema, kunze kwaiye anoramba kuti Jesu ndiKristu? Iye mupikisi waKristu, anoramba Baba neMwanakomana.
23 Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Ani nani anoramba Mwanakomana haanawo Baba; anobvuma Mwanakomana ana Babawo.
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.
Zvino imwi zvamakanzwa kubva pakutanga ngazvigare mamuri. Kana zvamakanzwa kubva pakutanga zvichigara mamuri, imwiwo muchagara muMwanakomana nemuna Baba.
Uye ichi ndicho chivimbiso chaakativimbisa iye, upenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things have I written to you concerning those who lead you astray:
Zvinhu izvi ndakakunyorerai pamusoro pevanokutsausai.
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.
Asi imwi kuzodzwa kwamakagamuchira kwaari kunogara mamuri, uye hamutsvaki kuti umwe akudzidzisei; asi kuzodzwa ikoku sezvakunokudzidzisai pamusoro pezvinhu zvese, uye kuri chokwadi, dzisati dziri nhema, uye sezvakwakakudzidzisai, muchagara maari.
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.
Uye ikozvino, vana vadiki, garai maari, kuti kana achizoonekwa, tive nechivimbo, tiregewo kunyadziswa naye pakuuya kwake.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
Kana muchiziva kuti wakarurama, munoziva kuti umwe neumwe anoita zvakarurama wakaberekwa naye.
