1 John 2
1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
Vahwile, ni mi ñolela izi zintu kwenu nji kuti kanji mu chiti chivi. Kono heva zumwi na chita zivi, twina mu zimanini ni Tayo, Jesu Kirisite, yenke yo lukite.
2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
Mu sunguli wa zivi zetu, mi isiñi zetu bulyo, kono ze nkanda yonse.
3 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
Kechi twizi kuti tu mwizi: heva ni tu vika intaelo zakwe.
4 One who says, "I know him," and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Zuna yo wamba,” Ni izi Ireza,” kono ka viki milao yakwe, u chenga, mi initi kaina mwali.
5 But whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
Kono yense yo vika inzwi lya kwe, cha vuniti vwi zwile, nji mo zuna muntu kuti i lato lya Ireza li va chitwa tota. Kechi twizi kuti twina mwali.
6 he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
Iye yo wamba kuti u shala mwa Ireza u swanela naye ku yenda uvu Jesu Krisite mwa vayendeli.
7 Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard.
Basakiwa, Kani ñoli mulao muhya kwenu, kono wa kale mulao umu vena nao ku matangilo. I ntaelo ya kale i nzwi i muva zuwi.
8 Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
Imi ni ñola mulao muhya kwenu, ili initi mwa Kiresite ni mwenu, kakuti chinzime cha mana, mi iseli lye niti chili venyete kale.
9 He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
Iye yo wamba kuti wina mwi seli mi kasaki mwakwe wina mu chi nzime ku sikila hanu.
10 He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
Iye yo saka mwakwe u shala mwi seli mi kakwina chi mwi mwali chiwola kumu letela chunchula.
11 But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Kono Iye ya sasaki mwakwe wina mu chinzime mi uyenda mu chinzime; kezi kwa kaya, kakuti chinzime cha mu cita vuhofu ha menso akwe.
12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
Ni mi ñolela, bahwile ba sakahala, kakuti zivi zenu zi kwatilwe che vaka lyezina lyakwe.
13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
Ni ñola kwenu va zazi, kakuti mwizi iye ku zwa kuma tangilo. Ni ñola kwenu, mi lombwana, kakuti mu va komi mu vilala. Ni vami ñoleli va hwile va nini, kakuti mwizi Itayo. Ni va mi ñoleli va zazi, kakuti mwizi iye yo zwa kuma tangilo.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
Ni va ñoli kwenu mu va lombwana, ka kuti mukolete, mi inzwi lya Ireza li shala mwenu, mi muva komi muvilala.
15 Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.
Kanji mu saki inkanda kamba zintu zina mwi inkanda, heva kwina yo saka inkanda, i lato lya Itayo kalina mwali.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
Linu zonse zina mwi inkanda -ku lakamina kwe nyama, ku la kamina kwa menso, ni ku li tundumwina vuhalo- ka ku zwi kwa Itayo kono kuzwa mwi inkanda.
17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Inkanda ni ntakazo yateni zi hita. Kono yense yo chita ku suna kwa Ireza mwaveko kuya ukoo. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
Bahwile vanini, inako ya mamani mani. Sina mu mu va zuwili kuti vu kani vwa Kirisite u kezite, hanu vangi vakana Kerisite vavezi. Kechi twizi kuti cheli inako ya ma mani mani.
19 They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
Vava yendi kuzwa kwetu, kono kena vavali kuzwa kwetu. Mukuti kambe vavali kuzwa kwetu ni vava shali naswe. Kono hava yenda kuzwa, ku va tondezi kena vavali kuzwa kwetu.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
Kono wina i ntozo ku zwa kuyo Jolola, mi mwense mwizi vuniti.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Kena na ñola kwenu ka kuti ka mwizi vuniti, kono kakuti mu vwizi mi kakuti ka kwina mapa azwa mu vuniti.
22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
Muchengi njeni kwande yo zuna yo sampula kuti Jesu nji ye Kirisite? Zuna muntu njo lwisa Kirisite, kakuti u sampula Itayo ni mwana.
23 Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Kakwina yo sampula mwana wina Itayo. Iye mwine ulemuha mwana naye wina Itayo.
24 As for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
Kuya chenu, musiye zi muva zuwi ku ma tangilo zi shale mwenu. Heva zimuva zuwi ku matangilo zi shala mwenu, ka mu shale nanwe mu Mwana ni mwe Tayo.
Mi iyi insepiso ya va hi kwetu: vuhalo vusa mani. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
Nami ñolela izi zintu cha kuya chavo vete ni vavami zwisi mwi nzila.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you remain in him.
Kuya chenu, i ntozo i muva tambuli kuzwa kwali i shala mwenu, mi kamu saki umwi ku mi luta. Kono sina intozo yakwe imi luta zintu zonse mi initi mi kahena kuchenga, mi sina ka mumu va ilutilwa, mushale mwali.
28 Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Mi linu, va hwile va sakahala, mu shale mwali, nji kuta kuti chavoneka, mutuve ni vundume mi kete tu swave havusu vwa kwiza kwakwe.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
Heva mwizi kuti ulukite, mwizi kuti zumwi ni zumwi yo panga chi lukite ava zalwa kwali.
