1 John 2
1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you won’t sin. If anyone sins, we have an Intercessor with the Father, the righteous Jesus Christ.
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 for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
Yesu enshila bwipishi bwetu mobukte kulekelelwa, kutambowa eti bwipishi bwetu bonka nsombi ne bwa bantu nabambi bonse.
3 This is how we know that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
Na tulakonkonga Milawo ya Lesa empotwela kwinshiba eti tumwishi.
4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and doesn’t keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.
Na muntu wambeti, “Ame ndimwinshi Lesa”, Kakuli nkakute kukonka Milawo mubuyumi bwakendi ekwinshibeti nimubepeshi kayi liya cakubinga.
5 But whoever keeps His word has the sincere love of God 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 live in Jesus ought to walk in the same way He walked.
Uyo lamabangeti bwikalo bwakame buli muli Lesa, welela kuba nebwikalo mbuli Yesu ncalekala.
7 Brothers and sisters, I’m not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard.
Omwasunika, nkandamulembelenga mulawo walino lino sobwe, nsombi niwepele usa ngomwalikwinshiba kufuma kumatatikilo. Mulawo uyu wakeendi emakani onka ngomwalanyumfwa.
8 Yet, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, 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 Whoever claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister, is still in darkness.
Na muntu wambeti uli mumumuni nsombi nkali wapatana ne munendi, muntu wamushoboyu ucili mumushinshe.
10 Whoever sincerely loves his brothers and sisters lives in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
Uliyense usuni munendi uli mumumuni, Kayi muli endiye muliya cintu cela kulengesheti epishe.
11 But whoever hates a brother or sister is in darkness and walks in darkness, and doesn’t 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 write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for His name’s sake.
Ndalembelenga njamwe mobana bame, pakwinga ukute kumulekelela bwipishi bwenu cebo ca Yesu Klistu.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you have known 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 have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the wicked 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 Don’t sincerely love the world or the things in the world. If anyone sincerely loves the world, the sincere love of the Father isn’t in him.
Kamutasuna cishi capanshi ne bintu byonse bilimo. Pakwinga na muntu lasunu cishi capanshi, ekwambeti nkabasuni Bata.
16 For everything that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life - isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.
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 and its lusts are passing away, but whoever does the will of God stays forever. (aiōn g165)
Lino cishi nebintu bili mukati ibyo bantu mbyobakute kukumbwa bilapitinga, nsombi abo balenshinga luyando lwa Lesa nibakekale muyayayaya. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, we are in the end times. As you have heard the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. By this we know that we are in the end times.
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 didn’t belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. Instead, they went out so that it might be revealed 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 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know the truth.
Nsombi amwe Yesu walamupa Mushimu Uswepa, neco mucinshi cakubinga.
21 I write to you, not because you don’t know the truth, but because you do know it, and because you know that no lie belongs to the truth.
Nkandamulembelenga makani awa pacebo cakwambeti nkamucinshi cakubinga, nsombi amwe mucinshi kwambeti kuliyawa bundengamano bweshi kufuma mucakubinga.
22 Who is a liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist.
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 doesn’t have the Father either. Whoever acknowledges the Son also has the Father.
Uliyense lakananga Mwana lakananga ne Bata. Lanyumfwilinga Mwana uli ne Bata.
24 Therefore, let that which you heard from the beginning live in you. If what you heard from the beginning lives in you, you also will live 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 As for you, the anointing that you received from Him lives in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. Yet as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and not a lie; just as it has taught you, you live in Him.
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 Now, little children, live in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame 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, then know that everyone who also practices righteousness is born of Him.
Nomba pakwinga mucinshi kwambeti Yesu Klistu waswepa, kayi mwelela lino kwinshiba kwambeti uliyense lenshinga bintu byaina ni Mwana wa Lesa.
