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;
Ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi ọ̀wọ́n, mo kọ ìwé nǹkan wọ̀nyí sí yín, kí ẹ̀yin má bà á dẹ́ṣẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá sì dẹ́ṣẹ̀, àwa ni alágbàwí lọ́dọ̀ Baba: Jesu Kristi, olódodo nìkan.
2 And, he, is, a propitiation, concerning our sins, —and, not concerning our own only, but, also concerning those of the whole world.
Òun sì ní ètùtù fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa, kì í tilẹ̀ ṣe fún tiwa nìkan ṣùgbọ́n fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ gbogbo aráyé.
3 And, hereby, perceive we, that we understand him, —if, his commandments, we are keeping.
Àwa mọ̀ pé àwa ti wá mọ̀ ọ́n, bí àwa bá ń pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́.
4 He that saith—I understand him! And, his commandments, is not keeping, is false, and, in him, the truth is not!
Ẹni tí ó bá wí pé, “Èmi mọ̀ ọ́n,” tí kò sì pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́, èké ni, òtítọ́ kò sì ṣí nínú rẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́, lára rẹ̀ ni a gbé mú ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run pé nítòótọ́. Nípa èyí ni àwa mọ̀ pé àwa ń wà nínú rẹ̀.
6 He that saith, that, in him, he abideth, ought, just as He walked, himself also, to be walking.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wí pé òun ń gbé inú rẹ̀, òun náà pẹ̀lú sì yẹ láti máa rìn gẹ́gẹ́ bí Jesu ti rìn.
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.
Ẹ̀yin olùfẹ́ ọ̀wọ́n, kì í ṣe òfin tuntun ni mo ń kọ̀wé rẹ̀ sí yín ṣùgbọ́n òfin àtijọ́, èyí tí ẹ̀yin tí gbọ́ ní àtètèkọ́ṣe. Òfin àtijọ́ ni ọ̀rọ̀ náà tí ẹ̀yin tí gbọ́.
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.
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, òfin tuntun ni mo ń kọ̀wé rẹ̀ sí yín; èyí tí í ṣe òtítọ́ nínú rẹ̀ àti nínú yin, nítorí òkùnkùn ń kọjá lọ, ìmọ́lẹ̀ òtítọ́ sì tí ń tàn.
9 He that saith he is, in the light, and hateth, his brother, is, in the darkness, until even now!
Ẹni tí ó bá sì wí pé òun ń wà nínú ìmọ́lẹ̀, tí ó sì kórìíra arákùnrin rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ nínú òkùnkùn.
10 He that loveth his brother, is abiding, in the light, and, cause of stumbling, in him, is there none.
Ẹni tí ó ba fẹ́ràn arákùnrin rẹ̀, ó ń gbé inú ìmọ́lẹ̀, kò sì ṣí ohun ìkọ̀sẹ̀ kan nínú rẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí o bá kórìíra arákùnrin rẹ̀ ń gbé nínú òkùnkùn, ó sì ń rìn nínú òkùnkùn; kò sì mọ ibi tí òun ń lọ, nítorí tí òkùnkùn tí fọ́ ọ lójú.
12 I write unto you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven you, for the sake of his name:
Èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín, ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi ọ̀wọ́n, nítorí tí a darí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín jì yín nítorí orúkọ rẹ̀.
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:
Èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín, ẹ̀yin baba, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin tí mọ ẹni tí ó wà ní àtètèkọ́ṣe, Èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín, ẹ̀yin ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin ti ṣẹ́gun ẹni ibi náà.
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.
Èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín, ẹ̀yin ọmọdé mi ọ̀wọ́n, nítorí ẹ̀yin ti mọ Baba. Èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín, ẹ̀yin baba, nítorí ti ẹ̀yin tí mọ ẹni tí o wà ni àtètèkọ́ṣe. Èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín, ẹ̀yin ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin ni agbára, tí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run sì ń gbé nínú yín, tí ẹ sì ṣẹ́gun ẹni ibi náà.
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.
Ẹ má ṣe fẹ́ràn ayé tàbí ohunkóhun tí ń bẹ nínú ayé. Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fẹ́ràn ayé, ìfẹ́ tí Baba kò sí nínú rẹ̀.
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;
Nítorí ohun gbogbo tí ń bẹ nínú ayé: ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ti ara, ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ti ojú, àti ìgbéraga ti ohun ti ó ní àti ohun tí ó ṣe kò wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba bí kò ṣe láti ọwọ́ ayé.
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)
Ayé sì ń kọjá lọ àti ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó ba ń ṣe ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run ni yóò wà títí láéláé. (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:
Ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi ọ̀wọ́n, ìgbà ìkẹyìn ni èyí; bí ẹ̀yin sì tí gbọ́ pé aṣòdì sí Kristi ń bọ̀ wá, àní nísinsin yìí, púpọ̀ aṣòdì sí Kristi ló ń bẹ. Nípa èyí ni àwa fi mọ́ pé ìgbà ìkẹyìn ni èyí.
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.
Wọ́n ti ọ̀dọ̀ wá jáde, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kì í ṣe ara wa. Nítorí bí wọ́n bá jẹ́ ara wa, wọn ìbá bá wa dúró, ṣùgbọ́n jíjáde lọ wọn fihàn pé gbogbo wọn kì í ṣe ara wa.
20 And, ye, have, an anointing, from the Holy One, —Ye all, know:
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ní ìfòróróyàn láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ wá, gbogbo yín sì mọ òtítọ́.
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.
Èmi kò kọ̀wé sí yín nítorí pé ẹ̀yin kò mọ òtítọ́, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí tí ẹ̀yin mọ̀ ọ́n, àti pé kò sí èké nínú òtítọ́.
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.
Ta ni èké? Ẹni tí ó sẹ́ pé Jesu kì í ṣe Kristi. Eléyìí ni Aṣòdì sí Kristi, ẹni tí ó sẹ́ Baba àti Ọmọ.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, neither hath he, the Father: He that confesseth the Son, hath, the Father also.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí o ba sẹ́ Ọmọ, kò gba Baba; ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó ba jẹ́wọ́ Ọmọ, ó gba Baba pẹ̀lú.
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.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí èyí tí ẹ tí gbọ́ ni àtètèkọ́ṣe máa gbé inú yín. Bí èyí tí ẹ̀yin tí gbọ́ ní àtètèkọ́ṣe bá ń gbé inú yín, ẹ̀yin ó sì dúró nínú Ọmọ àti nínú Baba.
Èyí sì ni ìlérí náà tí ó tí ṣe fún wa, àní ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things, have I written unto you, concerning them who would lead you astray.
Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni mo kọ̀wé sí yín ní ti àwọn tí wọ́n fẹ́ ẹ mú yín ṣìnà.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti ìfòróróyàn tí ẹ̀yín gba lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ ṣì ń gbé inú yín, ẹ̀yin kò tún nílò pé kí ẹnìkan kọ yín. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìfòróróyàn náà ti ń kọ́ yín ní ohun gbogbo tí ó jẹ́ òtítọ́, tí kì í sì í ṣe èké, àní gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó sì ti kọ́ yín, ẹ máa gbé inú rẹ̀.
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.
Àti nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi ọ̀wọ́n, ẹ máa gbé inú rẹ̀, pé nígbà tí òun ó bá farahàn, kí a lè ni ìgboyà níwájú rẹ̀, kí ojú má sì tì wá níwájú rẹ̀ ni ìgbà wíwá rẹ̀.
29 If ye know that he is, righteous, ye perceive that—whosoever doeth righteousness, of him, hath been born.
Bí ẹ̀yin ba mọ̀ pé olódodo ni òun, ẹ mọ̀ pé a bí olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ń ṣe òdodo nípa rẹ̀.
