1 John 2
1 My dear children! these things, am I writing unto you, in order that ye may not be committing sin. And, if anyone should commit sin, an Advocate, have we, 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, a propitiation, concerning our sins, —and, not concerning our own only, but, also concerning those of the whole world.
uye iye muripo wekuyananisa wezvivi zvedu; kwete wezvedu chetewo, asiwo wezvenyika yese.
3 And, hereby, perceive we, that we understand him, —if, his commandments, we are keeping.
Uye mune izvi tinoziva kuti tinomuziva, kana tichichengeta mirairo yake.
4 He that saith—I understand him! And, his commandments, is not keeping, is false, and, in him, the truth is not!
Uyo anoti: Ndinomuziva, asi asingachengeti mirairo yake, murevi wenhema, nemaari chokwadi hachimo;
5 But whosoever may be keeping his word, of a truth, in this man, the love of God hath been made perfect. Hereby, perceive we, that, in him, we are.
asi ani nani anochengeta shoko rake, zvirokwazvo rudo rwaMwari rwakaperedzerwa maari. Naizvozvi tinoziva kuti tiri maari.
6 He that saith, that, in him, he abideth, ought, just as He walked, himself also, to be walking.
Uyo anoti anogara maari iye anofanirawo kufamba saizvozvo sezvaakafamba iyewo.
7 Beloved! no new commandment, am I writing unto you; but an old commandment, which ye have been holding from the beginning: The old commandment is the word which ye have heard.
Hama, handinyori murairo mutsva kwamuri, asi murairo mutsaru, wamakange munawo kubva pakutanga; murairo mutsaru ishoko ramakanzwa kubva pakutanga.
8 Again, a new commandment, am I writing unto you, —which thing is true, in him and in you, because, the darkness, is passing away, and, the real light, already is shining.
Ndinopamha kukunyorerai murairo mutsva, chiri chinhu chechokwadi maari nemamuri; nokuti rima rinopfuura, zvino chiedza chechokwadi chadovhenekera.
9 He that saith he is, in the light, and hateth, his brother, is, in the darkness, until even now!
Uyo anoti ari muchiedza, achivengawo hama yake, ari murima kusvikira zvino.
10 He that loveth his brother, is abiding, in the light, and, cause of stumbling, in him, is there none.
Uyo anoda hama yake anogara muchiedza, uye hapana chigumbuso maari.
11 Whereas, he that hateth his brother, in the darkness, dwelleth, and in the darkness, walketh; and knoweth not whither he is drifting, because the, darkness, hath blinded his eyes.
Asi uyo anovenga hama yake ari murima, uye anofamba murima, haaziviwo kwaanoenda, nokuti rima rakapofumadza meso ake.
12 I write unto you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven you, for the sake of his name:
Ndinonyorera imwi, vana vadiki, nokuti zvivi makazvikanganwirwa nekuda kwezita rake.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye understand 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 unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I have written you, young men, because ye are, strong, and the word of God, within you, abideth, and ye have overcome the wicked 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 Be not loving the world, nor yet the things that are in the world: if anyone be loving the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Musada nyika, kana zvinhu zviri munyika. Kana umwe achida nyika, rudo rwaBaba harwusi maari.
16 Because, all that is in the world—the coveting of the flesh, the coveting of the eyes, and the vain grandeur of life—is not of the Father, but is, of the world;
Nokuti zvese zviri munyika, kuchiva kwenyama, nekuchiva kwameso, nekuzvikudza kweupenyu, hazvibvi kuna Baba, asi zvinobva panyika.
17 And, the world, passeth away, and the coveting [thereof], but, he that doeth the will of God, endureth unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
Uye nyika inopfuura, nekuchiva kwayo; asi anoita kuda kwaMwari anogara kusvika rinhi narinhi. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children! it is, the last hour; and, just as ye have heard that, an antichrist, is coming, even now, antichrists have become, many, whence we perceive that it is, the last hour:
Vana vadiki, inguva yekupedzisira; uye sezvamakanzwa kuti mupikisi waKristu anouya, naikozvino vazhinji vava vapikisi vaKristu; ndizvo zvinotizivisa kuti yava nguva yekupedzisira.
19 From among us, they went out, but they were not of us; for, if, of us, they had been, they would in that case have abode with us; but [it came to pass] in order that they might be made manifest, because, all, are not of 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 And, ye, have, an anointing, from the Holy One, —Ye all, know:
Asi imwi mune kuzodzwa kunobva kune Mutsvene, uye munoziva zvinhu zvese.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because, no falsehood, is, of the truth.
Handina kukunyorerai nokuti hamuzivi chokwadi, asi nokuti munochiziva, uye nokuti hakutongorina nhema dzingabva pachokwadi.
22 Who, is the False One; —save he that denieth that, Jesus, is the Christ? The same, is the Antichrist, —he that denieth the Father and the Son.
Ndiani murevi wenhema, kunze kwaiye anoramba kuti Jesu ndiKristu? Iye mupikisi waKristu, anoramba Baba neMwanakomana.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, neither hath he, the Father: He that confesseth the Son, hath, the Father also.
Ani nani anoramba Mwanakomana haanawo Baba; anobvuma Mwanakomana ana Babawo.
24 As for you, what ye have heard from the beginning, in you, let it abide. If, in you, shall abide, that which, from the beginning, ye have heard, ye also, in the Son, and [in] the Father, shall abide.
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, have I written unto you, concerning them who would lead you astray.
Zvinhu izvi ndakakunyorerai pamusoro pevanokutsausai.
27 And, as for you, the anointing which ye have received from him, abideth in you, and ye have, no need, that anyone be teaching you; but, as, his anointing, is teaching you, and is, true, and is no falsehood, even just as it hath taught you, abide ye 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 And, now, dear children, abide ye in him, in order that, if he be made manifest, we may have boldness, and not be shamed away from him by his presence.
Uye ikozvino, vana vadiki, garai maari, kuti kana achizoonekwa, tive nechivimbo, tiregewo kunyadziswa naye pakuuya kwake.
29 If ye know that he is, righteous, ye perceive that—whosoever doeth righteousness, of him, hath been born.
Kana muchiziva kuti wakarurama, munoziva kuti umwe neumwe anoita zvakarurama wakaberekwa naye.
