1 John 2
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
Bananyana ba me, ke lo bolelela selo se gore lo tle lo ikgaphe mo boleong. Mme fa lo leofa, go na le mongwe go lo rapelela mo go Rara. Leina la gagwe ke Jesu Keresete, ene yo e leng mosiami ebile a itumedisa Modimo ka botlalo.
2 and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
Ke ene yo o rweleng bogale jwa Modimo ka ntlha ya dibe tsa rona go re golola mo bogaleng jwa Modimo, a bo a re lere mo bolekaneng le Modimo, ebile ke boitshwarelo jwa dibe tsa rona, le gale e seng tsa rona fela, ebong tsa lefatshe lotlhe.
3 And hereby know we that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
Mme re ka tlhomamisa jang gore re ba gagwe? Re ka tlhomamisa ka go sekaseka bokafateng jwa rona ra re: a tota re leka go dira se a batlang re se dira?
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him:
Mongwe o ka re, “Ke Mokeresete; ke mo tseleng ya me go ya legodimong; ke wa ga Keresete.” Mme fa a sa dire se Keresete a mo rayang a re a se dire, ke moaki.
5 but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby know we that we are in him:
Mme ba ba dirang se Keresete a se ba rayang gore ba se dire, ba tlaa nna ba rata Modimo thata. Ke yone tsela ya go itse gore a o Mokeresete kgotsa nnyaa.
6 he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
Le fa e le mang yo a reng ke Mokeresete a tshele fela jaaka Keresete a ne a tshela.
7 Beloved, no new commandment write I unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye heard.
Bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, ga ke lo kwalele taolo e ncha gore lo e obamele, gonne ke taolo e kgologolo e lo ntseng lo na nayo ka malatsi otlhe go tswa tshimologong. Lotlhe lo sale lo e utlwile pele.
8 Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth.
Le fa go ntse jalo e ncha ka malatsi otlhe ebile e lo direla fela jaaka e ne e direla Keresete; mme fa re obamela taolo e, ebong go ratana, lefifi le a nyelela mo matshelong a rona, mme mo go rona go pha-tsime lesedi le lesha la botshelo la ga Keresete.
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
Le fa e le mang yo o reng o tsamaya mo leseding la ga Keresete mme a ila Mokeresete ka ene o santse a le mo lefifing.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
Mme le fa e le mang yo o ratang Mokeresete ka ene o “tsamaya mo leseding” ebile o ka bona tsela ya gagwe a sa kgopiwe mo lefifing le mo boleong.
11 But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
Gonne yo o ilang Mokeresete ka ene otsamaya mo lefifing la semowa ebile ga a itse kwa a yang teng, gonne lefifi le mo foufaditse gore a seka a bona tsela.
12 I write unto you, [my] little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
Ke lo kwalela dilo tse lotlhe, bananyana ba me, gonne lo itshwaretswe dibe mo leineng la ga Jesu Mmoloki wa rona.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him which is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father.
Ke lo kwalela dilo tse lona ba lo godileng gonne ruri lo itse Keresete, ene yo o ntseng a tshedile go tswa tshimologong. Mme lona makau, ke bua le lona gonne lo fentse ntwa ya ga Satane. Gape ke kwalela lona basimanyana le lona basetsanyana gonne le lona lo ithutile go itse Modimo Rraa-rona.
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye know him which is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one.
Mme lona borrabana ba lo itseng Modimo wa bosakhutleng, le lona makawana a a nonofileng, ka Lefoko la Modimo mo dipelong tsa lona, ebile lo fentse ntwa ya ga Satane, ke lo raya ke re:
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
khutlisang go rata lefatshe leno le le bosula, le gotlhe mo le go lo neelang, gonne fa lo rata dilo tse, lo supa tota gore ammaaruri ga lo rate Modimo;
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
gonne dilo tse tsotlhe tsa lefatshe, dikeletso tse di bosula tse, dikeletso tsa boaka, kgatlhego ya go reka sengwe le sengwe se se gapang maikutlo a gago, le boikgodiso jo bo dirwang ke khumo le go tlotlega, dilo tse ga di tswe kwa Modimong. Ditswa mo lefatsheng leno le le bosula.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
Mme lefatshe leno le a fela, mme dilo tse di bosula tse di idiwang tse di tlaa fela le lone, mme le fa e le mang yo o tswelelang a dira go rata ga Modimo o tlaa tshelela ruri. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.
Bana ba me ba ba rategang, nako ya bofelo ya lefatshe leno e setse e tsile. Lo utlwile ka Moganetsa Keresete yo o tlang, ene yo o tlhabantshang Keresete, le gompieno batho ba le bantsi ba ba ntseng jaana ba setse ba tsile. Tiragalo e, e re dira gore re tlhomamise tota gore bokhutlo jwa lefatshe bo atametse.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest how that they all are not of us.
Batho ba ba tlhabantshang Keresete ba, e kile ya ne e le maloko a diphuthego tsa rona, mme tota e ne e se ba rona, gonne fa go ne go ntse jalo ba ka bo ba sa lomologa mo go rona. E rile ba lomologa mo go rona, ga supa sentle gore e ne e se ba rona gotlhelele.
20 And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
Mme lona ga lo a nna jalo, gonne Mowa O O Boitshepo o tsile mo go lona, ebile lo itse boammaaruri.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Jalo ga ke lo kwalele jaaka ekete ke kwalela batho ba ba tlhokang go itse boammaaruri, mme ke lo kgalemela lo le ba lo itseng go lemoga pharologanyo fa gare ga boammaaruri le mmaaka.
22 Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, [even] he that denieth the Father and the Son.
Ana moaki yo mogolo ke mang? Ke yo o reng Jesu ga se Keresete. Motho yo o ntseng jalo ke moganetsa-Keresete, gonne ga a dumele mo go Modimo Rara le mo go Morwaone.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also.
Gonne motho yo o sa dumeleng mo go Keresete, Morwa Modimo, ga a kake a dumela le mo Modimong. Mme yo o nang le Keresete Morwa Modimo, o na le One Modimo Rara.
24 As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
Jalo nnang lo dumele se lo se rutilweng go tswa tshimologong. Fa lo dira jalo, lo tlaa aga lo le mo bolekaneng jo bo nitameng thata le Modimo Rara le Morwaone.
Mme ene ka sebele o re solofeditse se: botshelo ja bosakhutleng. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that would lead you astray.
Dilo tse ke di buang tse ka moganetsa-Keresete di raya fela ba ba tlaa ratang go lo dira difofu ba bo ba lo timetsa.
27 And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him.
Mme lo amogetse Mowa O O Boitshepo ebile o nna mo go lona, mo dipelong tsa lona, gore lo seka lwa tlhokana le ope go lo ruta se se siameng. Gonne o lo ruta dilo tsotlhe, ebile o Boammaaruri, ga se moaki; mme fela jaaka a buile, lo tshwanetse go nna mo go Keresete, lo sa kgaogane nae.
28 And now, [my] little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Mme jaanong bananyana ba me, nnang mo bolekaneng jwa boitumelo le Morena gore e re fa a tla lo bo lo tlhomamisa gore gotlhe go siame, mme ga re na go tlhajwa ke ditlhong re bo re boela kwa morago fa re tshwanetse go mo kgatlhantsha.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him.
E re ka re itse gore Modimo o siame ka malatsi otlhe o bile o dira fela se se siameng, re ka tseela fela gore botlhe ba ba dirang tshiamo ke bana ba One.
