1 John 2
1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counsellor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
Bana bama, ndilusonikini mambu mama muingi lubika sumuka; ayi enati mutu wuvola masumu buna tubeki phovi yikutuvovilanga kuidi Tata: Yesu Klisto, mutu wusonga.
2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
Niandi wukiyekula banga dikaba mu diambu di masumu meto ayi bika sia ti mu diambu di masumu meto kaka vayi ayi mu diambu di momo ma nza yimvimba.
3 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
Mu diambu diadi tuzabidi ti beto tunzebi: enati beto tunkebanga zithumunu ziandi.
4 One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.
Woso mutu wuntuba: “minu ndinzebi” mu kambu keba zithumunu ziandi; buna widi nkua luvunu ayi kiedika kisi ko mu niandi.
5 But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:
Vayi woso mutu wunkebanga mambu mandi buna bukiedika luzolo lu Nzambi luidi lufuana mu mutu wowo; Mu diambu diodi tuzabidi ti tuidi mu niandi.
6 he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
Woso mutu wuntuba ti widi mu niandi buna mamvandi kafueti diatilaboso niandi veka kadiatila.
7 Brothers, 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 from the beginning.
Bakiluzolo, bika sia ti lutumunu lumona ndilusonikina vayi lutumunu beni lu thama kuandi, lolo lutambula tona vana thonono. Lutumunulu thama beni luawu lualu mambu ma Nzambi momo luwa.
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.
Buela diaka, lutumunu lumona ndilusonikini: luidi lukiedika mu niandiayi mu beno bila tombi kilembo lalakana ayi kiezila ki kiedika kilembo kienzuka.
9 He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.
Woso mutu wuntuba ti widi mu kiezila vayi wunlenda khombꞌandibuna nate buabu wukidi kuandi mu tombi.
10 He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
Woso mutu weti zola khombꞌandi buna widi mu kiezila ayi diluaku di buila dilendi monika mu niandi ko.
11 But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Vayi woso mutu wunlenda khombꞌandi buna widi mu tombi ayi wundiatilangamu tombi, kasi zaba ko kuevi kalembo yendi bila tombi kivondidi meso mandi.
12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
Ndikulusonikina, beno bana, mu diambu di masumu meno malemvokolo mu dizina di Yesu.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
Ndikulusonikina beno madise, mu diambu di luzebi mutu wowo widitona vana thonono. Ndikulusonikina, beno baleki mu diambu di lunungini pheveyimbimbi. Ndikulusonikina, beno bana, mu diambu di beno luzebi Tata.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
Ndikulusonikina, beno madise, mu diambu di beno luzebi mutu widi tonavana thonono. Ndikulusonikina, beno baleki mu diambu di beno ngolo luidi ayi mu diambu di mambu ma Nzambi madi mu beno ayi mu diambu di beno lunungini pheve yimbimbi.
15 Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.
Lubika zola nza ayi bima bidi va nza. Enati mutu weti zola nza buna luzolo lu Tata luisi ko mu niandi
16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.
bila bibio bidi va nza: zinzinunu zi nsuni, zinzinunu zi mesoayi luniemo lu luzingu bisi bi Tata ko vayi bi nza.
17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Muaki nza yilembo vioki ayi zinzinunu ziandi; vayi woso mutu wumvanganga luzolo lu Nzambi widi moyo mu zithangu zioso. (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.
Bana bama, yawu yayi thangu yi tsuka. Banga kuandi bu luwati antiklisto wulembo yizi, ayi, buabu bantiklisto beka bawombo. Mu diambu diodi tuzabidi ti yawu yayi thangu yi tsuka.
19 They went out from us, but they didn’t 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.
Bawu batotukila mu beto vayi basia ba batu beto ko; Bila enati baba batu beto, nganu badi yeto. Vayi bayenda mu diambu bamonika ti kadi wumosi mu bawu kasia ba weto ko.
20 You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.
Beno lutambula pheve Yinlongo kuidi mutu wunlongo ayi beno boso luzebi kiedika.
21 I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Ndikadi kulusonikina, bika sia ti mu diambu lusia zaba kiedika ko, vayi mu diambu luzebi kiawu ayi kiedika kilendi totula ko kadi luvunu.
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.
Nani nkua luvunu e? A keti woso mutu wuntunukanga ti Yesu kasi Klisto ko. Niandi antiklisto bila niandi weti tunuka Tata ayi muana.
23 Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Woso mutu wuntunukanga muana kasi zaba Tata ko; woso mutu wunkikininanga Muana buna zebi Tata.
24 Therefore, 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.
Mu diambu dieno, bika momo luwa tona vana thonono maba mu beno. Enati momo luwa tona vana thonono madi mu beno buna beno mamveno luidimu Muana ayi mu Tata.
Tala yawu yayi tsila yikatuvana: luzingu lu kalumani. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
Ndilusonikini mambu mama mu diambu di batu bobo bantomba kuluzimbisa.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t 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 will remain in him.
Vayi mu diambu dieno, Pheve yinlongo yoyi ludukudulu banga mafuta, mu beno. Luisi kadi mfunu ko ti mutu kalulonga. Vayi bu didi ti Pheve beni Yinlongo yawu yeti ku lulonga mu diambu di mambu moso ayi yawu yidi yi kiedika, yisi yi luvunu ko; buna bika luba mu kithuadi ayi Klisto boso bu yi lulongila mawu.
28 Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Ayi buabu beno bana, bika luba mu niandi mu diambu mu thangu kela monika, tuba bakinda ayi tubika fua tsoni va ntualꞌandi bu kela kuiza.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
Enati luzebi ti Klisto widi wusonga buna bika luzaba ti woso mutu wunsadilanga busonga buna niandi wubutu kuidi Klisto.
