1 John 2
1 My little children, these things I write to you that you may not sin: and if anyone may sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, [the] Righteous One,
ʻA ʻeku fānau ʻofeina, ʻoku ou tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, ke ʻoua naʻa mou angahala. Pea kapau ʻe angahala ha taha, ʻoku ai hotau fakalelei ki he Tamai, ko Sisu Kalaisi ko e māʻoniʻoni
2 and He is [the] propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the whole world,
Pea ko e feilaulau totongi ia ʻi heʻetau ngaahi angahala: pea ʻikai ʻatautolu pe, ka koeʻuhi ko māmani kotoa pē.
3 and in this we know that we have known Him, if we may keep His commands;
Pea ko eni ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ʻoku tau ʻilo ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku tau fai ʻene ngaahi fekau.
4 he who is saying, “I have known Him,” and is not keeping His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
Ko ia ʻoku ne pehē, ʻOku ou ʻilo ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai fai ʻene ngaahi fekau, ko e loi ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae moʻoni.
5 and whoever may keep His word, truly the love of God has been perfected in him; in this we know that we are in Him.
Ka ko ia ʻoku ne fai ki heʻene folofola, kuo fakahaohaoa moʻoni ʻiate ia ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua: ko eni ia ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ʻoku tau ʻiate ia.
6 He who is saying he remains in Him, himself ought to also walk according as He walked.
Ko ia ia ʻoku ne pehē, ʻoku nofo ia kiate ia, ʻoku totonu ke ne ʻeveʻeva foki ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻeveʻeva ʻaʻana.
7 Beloved, I do not write a new command to you, but an old command, that you had from the beginning—the old command is the word that you heard from the beginning;
ʻE kāinga, ʻoku ʻikai te u tohi ha fekau foʻou kiate kimoutolu, ka ko e fekau motuʻa, naʻa mou maʻu mei he kamataʻanga. Ko e fekau motuʻa ko e folofola ia, ʻaia kuo mou ongoʻi mei he kamataʻanga.
8 again, a new command I write to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shines;
Ko eni foki, ʻoku ou tohi ʻae fekau foʻou kiate kimoutolu, ʻae meʻa ko ia ʻoku moʻoni kiate ia mo kimoutolu: he kuo mole atu ʻae fakapoʻuli, pea ʻoku ulo ni ʻae maama moʻoni.
9 he who is saying he is in the light, and is hating his brother, he is in the darkness until now;
Ko ia ʻoku ne pehē, ʻoku ʻi he maama ia, ka ʻoku fehiʻa ki hono tokoua, ʻoku kei ʻi he poʻuli ia.
10 he who is loving his brother, he remains in the light, and there is not a stumbling-block in him;
Ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki hono tokoua, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he maama, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ha tūkiaʻanga.
11 but he who is hating his brother, he is in the darkness, and he walks in the darkness, and he has not known where he goes, because the darkness blinded his eyes.
Ka ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ki hono tokoua, ʻoku ʻi he poʻuli ia, pea ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he poʻuli, ʻo ʻikai ʻilo pe ʻoku ne ʻalu ki fē, he kuo fakakui hono mata ʻe he poʻuli.
12 I write to you, little children, because sins have been forgiven you through His Name;
ʻOku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae fānau ʻofeina, koeʻuhi kuo fakamolemolea hoʻomou angahala koeʻuhi ko hono huafa.
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 youths, because you have known the Father;
ʻOku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi kuo mou ʻiloʻi ia ʻoku mei he kamataʻanga. ʻOku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae kau talavou, koeʻuhi kuo mou ikuna ʻae tokotaha angakovi. ʻOku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae fānau siʻi, koeʻuhi kuo mou ʻiloʻi ʻae Tamai.
14 I wrote to you, fathers, because you have known Him who [is] from the beginning; I wrote to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil [one].
Kuo u tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi kuo mou ʻiloʻi ia ʻoku mei he kamataʻanga. Kuo u tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae kau talavou, koeʻuhi ʻoku mou mālohi, pea ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he folofola ʻae ʻOtua, pea kuo mou ikuʻi ʻae tokotaha angakovi.
15 Do not love the world, nor the things in the world; if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
ʻOua naʻa ʻofa ki māmani, pe ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi he māmani. Kapau ʻoku ʻofa ha taha ki māmani, ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae ʻofa ʻae Tamai.
16 because all that [is] in the world—the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of [one’s] life—is not of the Father, but of the world,
He ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he māmani, ko e holi ʻoe kakano, pea mo e holi ʻoe mata, mo e laukau ʻoe moʻui, ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe Tamai, ka ʻoku ʻoe māmani ia.
17 and the world is passing away, and the desire of it, but he who is doing the will of God, he remains—throughout the age. (aiōn g165)
Pea ʻoku mole ange ʻa māmani, pea mo e holi ʻo ia: ka ko ia ʻoku ne fai ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku nofomaʻu ia ʻo taʻengata. (aiōn g165)
18 Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as you heard that the antichrist comes, even now antichrists have become many—whereby we know that it is [the] last hour;
ʻAe fānau siʻi, ko e kuonga fakamui eni: pea hangē ko hoʻomou fanongo ʻe haʻu ʻae Fili ʻo Kalaisi, ʻoku ai ni ʻae ngaahi fili tokolahi ʻo Kalaisi: ko ia ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ko e kuonga fakamui eni,
19 they went forth out of us, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but [they went out] so that they might be revealed that they are not all of us.
Naʻa nau ʻalu atu meiate kitautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai ke nau ʻotautolu; he ka ne ʻotautolu ʻakinautolu, pehē, kuo nau nofomaʻu mo kitautolu: ka ko e meʻa ia, ke hā ai naʻe ʻikai ʻotautolu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
20 And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
Ka kuo mou maʻu ʻae pani mei he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.
21 I did not write to you because you have not known the truth, but because you have known it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Kuo ʻikai te u tohi kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻiloʻi ʻae moʻoni, ka koeʻuhi ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha loi ʻe tupu ʻi he moʻoni.
22 Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;
Ko hai ia ʻoku loi, ka ko ia ʻoku ne fakafisinga ʻoku ʻikai ko e Kalaisi ʻa Sisu? Ko e fili ʻo Kalaisi ia, ʻaia ʻoku ne fakafisinga ʻi he Tamai mo e ʻAlo.
23 everyone who is denying the Son, neither has the Father; he who is confessing the Son has the Father also.
Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne fakafisinga ʻi he ʻAlo ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae Tamai.
24 You, then, that which you heard from the beginning, let it remain in you; if that which you heard from the beginning may remain in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father,
Ko ia, tuku ke nofomaʻu ʻiate kimoutolu ʻaia kuo mou fanongo mei he kamataʻanga. Kapau ʻe nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he meʻa kuo mou ongoʻi mei he kamataʻanga, pehē ʻe nofomaʻu foki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻAlo, pea mo e Tamai.
Pea ko eni ʻae talaʻofa, ʻaia kuo ne talaʻofa ai kiate kitautolu, ko e moʻui taʻengata. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I wrote to you concerning those leading you astray;
Ko e ngaahi meʻa eni kuo u tohi kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu.
27 and you, the anointing that you received from Him, it remains in you, and you have no need that anyone may teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, you will remain in Him.
Ka ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he pani ʻoku mou maʻu meiate ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ke akonakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha taha: kae hangē ʻoku akonakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he pani ko ia ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻoku moʻoni ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e loi, ʻio, ʻo hangē ko ʻene akonekina ʻakimoutolu, ke mou nofo pehē kiate ia.
28 And now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He may have appeared, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before Him, at His coming;
Pea ko eni, ʻe fānau ʻofeina, mou nofo pe kiate ia; koeʻuhi, ʻoka hā mai ia, ketau maʻu ai ʻae mālohi, pea ʻikai mā ʻi hono ʻao, ʻi heʻene hāʻele mai.
29 if you know that He is righteous, know that everyone doing righteousness, has been begotten of Him.
Kapau ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia, ʻoku mou ʻilo foki, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne fai māʻoniʻoni, kuo fanauʻi ia ʻiate ia.
