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.
Vana vangu vadiki, zvinhu izvi ndinokunyorerai, kuti musatadza. Uye kana umwe achitadza, tine Murevereri kuna Baba, Jesu Kristu wakarurama;
2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
uye iye muripo wekuyananisa wezvivi zvedu; kwete wezvedu chetewo, asiwo wezvenyika yese.
3 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
Uye mune izvi tinoziva kuti tinomuziva, kana tichichengeta mirairo yake.
4 One who 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, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how 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 who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
Uyo anoti anogara maari iye anofanirawo kufamba saizvozvo sezvaakafamba iyewo.
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.
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 is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, 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 even until now.
Uyo anoti ari muchiedza, achivengawo hama yake, ari murima kusvikira zvino.
10 He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
Uyo anoda hama yake anogara muchiedza, uye hapana chigumbuso maari.
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.
Asi uyo anovenga hama yake ari murima, uye anofamba murima, haaziviwo kwaanoenda, nokuti rima rakapofumadza meso ake.
12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
Ndinonyorera imwi, vana vadiki, nokuti zvivi makazvikanganwirwa nekuda kwezita rake.
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.
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 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.
Ndanyorera imwi, madzibaba, nokuti makamuziva iye wakange aripo kubva pakutanga. Ndanyora kwamuri, vadiki, nokuti makasimba, uye shoko raMwari rinogara mamuri uye makakunda wakaipa.
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.
Musada nyika, kana zvinhu zviri munyika. Kana umwe achida nyika, rudo rwaBaba harwusi maari.
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.
Nokuti zvese zviri munyika, kuchiva kwenyama, nekuchiva kwameso, nekuzvikudza kweupenyu, hazvibvi kuna Baba, asi zvinobva panyika.
17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Uye nyika inopfuura, nekuchiva kwayo; asi anoita kuda kwaMwari anogara kusvika rinhi narinhi. (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.
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 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.
Vakabuda kwatiri, asi vakange vasiri vanobva kwedu, nokuti dai vaibva kwedu, vangadai vaigara nesu; asi vakabuda kuti varatidzwe kuti havasi vese vanobva kwedu.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
Asi imwi mune kuzodzwa kunobva kune Mutsvene, uye munoziva zvinhu zvese.
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.
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? This is the antichrist, he 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, the same does not have the Father. 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 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.
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 I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
Zvinhu izvi ndakakunyorerai pamusoro pevanokutsausai.
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.
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 Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Uye ikozvino, vana vadiki, garai maari, kuti kana achizoonekwa, tive nechivimbo, tiregewo kunyadziswa naye pakuuya kwake.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
Kana muchiziva kuti wakarurama, munoziva kuti umwe neumwe anoita zvakarurama wakaberekwa naye.
