1 John 2
1 My children, these things I write to you, that ye sin not. But if any one should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus the Messiah, the righteous.
Ezi ụmụntakịrị m, ana m edere unu ihe ndị a ka unu ghara imehie. Ma ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla emehie, anyị nwere onye na-ekwuchite ọnụ anyị nʼihu Nna ahụ. Ọ bụ Jisọs Kraịst, Onye ezi omume ahụ.
2 For he is himself the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for all the world.
Ọ bụ onye jiri onwe ya chụọ aja nʼihi ikpuchiri anyị mmehie anyị, ma ọ bụghị naanị nʼihi mmehie anyị, ọ bụkwa nʼihi mmehie ụwa niile.
3 And by this we shall be sensible that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
Otu a ka anyị si amata na anyị maara onye ọ bụ, ma ọ bụrụ na anyị erube isi nye iwu ya niile.
4 For he that saith, I know him, and doth not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Onye ahụ na-ekwu sị, “Amaara m ya,” ma ọ dịghị eme ihe o nyere nʼiwu bụ onye okwu ụgha, eziokwu ahụ adịghịkwa nʼime ya.
5 But he that keepeth his word, in him is the love of God truly completed: for by this we know that we are in him.
Ma ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla na-erube isi nʼokwu ya, nʼezie, ịhụnanya Chineke bụ ihe emere ka o zuo oke nʼime ya. Ọ bụ otu a ka anyị si amata na anyị nọ nʼime ya.
6 He that saith, I am in him, is bound to walk according to his walkings.
Onye ọbụla na-ekwu na ya bi nʼime ya kwesiri ibi ndụ dịka ya.
7 My beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but the old commandment which ye had from the beginning; and the old commandment is the word, which ye have heard.
Ndị enyi m hụrụ nʼanya, anaghị m edere unu ihe gbasara iwu ọhụrụ, kama ọ bụ otu iwu ochie ahụ, nke na-adị site na mbụ. Iwu ochie a bụ nke e ziri unu ozi banyere ya.
8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness hath passed away, and the true light beginneth to appear.
Ma otu ọ dị, ana m edere unu iwu ọhụrụ, nke bụ eziokwu nʼime ya na nʼime unu. Nʼihi na ọchịchịrị na-agafe, ezi ìhè ebidola ịchawapụta.
9 Whoever therefore shall say that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now.
Onye ọbụla na-asị na ya nọ nʼìhè ma na-akpọ nwanna ya asị, na-anọ nʼọchịchịrị ruo ugbu a.
10 He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and in him is no stumbling.
Onye ọbụla na-ahụ nwanna ya nʼanya na-ebi nʼime ihe ahụ ọ dịkwaghị ìhè dị nʼime onye dị otu a bụ nke ga-eme ya ka ọ sụọ ngọngọ.
11 But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness; and he knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
Ma onye ọbụla na-akpọ nwanna ya asị nọ nʼọchịchịrị, na-ejegharịkwa nʼime ọchịchịrị; ọ maghị ebe ọ na-aga nʼihi na ọchịchịrị ahụ emeela ka o kpuo ìsì.
12 I write to you, ye children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
Ana m edere unu ihe ndị a ụmụntakịrị m nʼihi na a gbagharala unu mmehie niile site nʼaha ya.
13 I write to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who existed from the beginning. I write to you, ye young men, because ye have vanquished the evil one.
Ana m edere unu ndị bụ nna ihe ndị a, nʼihi na unu maara onye ahụ na-adị site na mbụ. Ana m edere unu ụmụ okorobịa, nʼihi na unu emeriela ajọ onye ahụ.
14 I have written to you, ye little ones, because ye have known the Father. I have written to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who was from the beginning, I have written to you, ye young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God dwelleth in you, and ye have vanquished the evil one.
Ana m edere unu ụmụntakịrị, nʼihi na unu maara nna ahụ. Ana m edere unu ndị nna, nʼihi na unu maara onye ahụ na-adị site na mbụ. Ana m edere unu ụmụ okorobịa, nʼihi na unu siri ike, okwu Chineke na-ebikwa nʼime unu, unu emeriekwala ajọ onye ahụ.
15 Love not the world, nor any thing in it; for whoever loveth the world, hath not the love of the Father in him.
Kwụsịnụ ịhụ ụwa nʼanya, ya na ihe niile dị nʼụwa. Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ahụ ụwa nʼanya ịhụnanya nke Nna adịghị nʼime ya.
16 For all that is in the world, is, the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world; which are not from the Father, but from the world itself.
Nʼihi na ihe niile dị nʼụwa, ihe ndị ahụ niile anụ ahụ anyị, na anya anyị na-achọ, ya na ịnya isi mmadụ banyere ihe ọ bụ na ihe o nwere, esiteghị nʼebe Nna nọ, kama ha sitere nʼụwa.
17 And the world is passing away, both it and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the pleasure of God, abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
Ụwa na ọchịchọ ọjọọ ya niile na-agafe agafe, ma onye ahụ na-eme uche Chineke ga-adị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. (aiōn g165)
18 My children, it is the latter time; and as ye have heard that a false Messiah was to arise, so there are now many false Messiahs; and from this we know that it is the latter time.
Ụmụ m, nke a bụ oge awa nke ikpeazụ. Dịka unu nụrụ na otu onye na-emegide Kraịst na-abịa, ọ bụladị ugbu a, ọtụtụ ndị na-emegide Kraịst abịala. Otu a ka anyị si amata na ọ bụ oge awa nke ikpeazụ.
19 From us they went out, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out from us, that so it might be known, that they were not of us.
Ha si nʼetiti anyị pụọ, ma ha abụghị ndị nke anyị nʼezie. Nʼihi na a sị na anyị na ha bụ otu, ha gaara aga nʼihu soro anyị nọdụ. Ma ọpụpụ ha pụrụ na-egosi na ọ dịghị onye nʼime ha sonyere anyị.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One; and ye discriminate every person.
Ma unu nwere otite mmanụ sitere nʼOnye Nsọ ahụ, unu niile matakwara ihe niile.
21 I have not written to you, because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no falsehood is of the truth.
Ya mere, anaghị m edegara unu akwụkwọ a dịka ndị na-amaghị eziokwu kama nʼihi na unu maara ya na nʼihi na ọ dịghị okwu ụgha ọbụla na-esi nʼeziokwu ahụ apụta.
22 Who is false, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? And that person is a false Messiah. He that denieth the Father, denieth also the Son.
Onye bụ onye okwu ụgha? Ọ bụ onye ahụ na-asị na Jisọs abụghị Kraịst ahụ. Onye dị otu a bụ onye na-emegide Kraịst, nʼihi na ọ nabataghị Nna ahụ na Ọkpara ya.
23 And he that denieth the Son, also believeth not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, confesseth also the Father.
Onye ọbụla jụrụ Ọkpara ahụ enwekwaghị Nna ahụ; ma onye ọbụla nabatara Ọkpara ahụ nwekwara Nna ahụ.
24 And what ye heard from the first, let that remain with you. For if that, which ye heard from the first, remaineth with you, ye also will remain in the Father and in the Son.
Hụnụ na ihe unu nụrụ site na mmalite na-anọgide nʼime unu. Ọ bụrụ na ihe unu nụrụ na mbido ebiri nʼime unu, unu ga-anọgide nʼime Ọkpara ahụ na nʼime Nna ahụ.
Ihe o kwere anyị na nkwa bụ nke a, ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
26 And these things I have written to you, on account of those who seduce you.
Ana m edere unu ihe ndị a banyere ndị ahụ na-agbalị iduhie unu.
27 And ye also, if the unction which ye have received from him remaineth in you, need not that any one should teach you; but as that unction is from God, it teacheth you all things; and it is true, and no falsehood is in it. And as it hath taught you, remain ye in him.
Ma unu onwe unu, otite mmanụ ahụ unu natara nʼaka ya na-anọgide nʼime unu, nʼihi nke a, onye ozizi ọzọ adịghị unu mkpa. Dịka otite mmanụ ya na-ezi unu ihe banyere ihe niile, bụrụkwa eziokwu, ọ bụghị okwu ụgha. Ya mere, dịka o zikwara unu, na-anọgidenụ nʼime ya.
28 And now, my children, remain ye in him; that so, when he shall be manifested, we may not be ashamed before him, but may have an open countenance at his coming.
Ugbu a ụmụntakịrị m, nọgidesienụ ike nʼime ya, ka ọ ga-abụ mgbe e mere ka ọ pụta ìhè, anyị ga-abụ ndị obi siri ike, ndị ihere na-agaghị eme, nʼihu ya mgbe ọ bịara.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye also know, that whoever doeth righteousness, is from him.
Ọ bụrụ na unu matara na ọ bụ onye ezi omume, unu maara na onye ọbụla nke na-eme ihe ziri ezi bụ onye a mụrụ site na ya.
