1 John 2
1 My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,
Vana vangu vadiki, zvinhu izvi ndinokunyorerai, kuti musatadza. Uye kana umwe achitadza, tine Murevereri kuna Baba, Jesu Kristu wakarurama;
2 and he — he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world,
uye iye muripo wekuyananisa wezvivi zvedu; kwete wezvedu chetewo, asiwo wezvenyika yese.
3 and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;
Uye mune izvi tinoziva kuti tinomuziva, kana tichichengeta mirairo yake.
4 he who is saying, 'I have known him,' and his command is not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not;
Uyo anoti: Ndinomuziva, asi asingachengeti mirairo yake, murevi wenhema, nemaari chokwadi hachimo;
5 and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.
asi ani nani anochengeta shoko rake, zvirokwazvo rudo rwaMwari rwakaperedzerwa maari. Naizvozvi tinoziva kuti tiri maari.
6 He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.
Uyo anoti anogara maari iye anofanirawo kufamba saizvozvo sezvaakafamba iyewo.
7 Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning — the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning;
Hama, handinyori murairo mutsva kwamuri, asi murairo mutsaru, wamakange munawo kubva pakutanga; murairo mutsaru ishoko ramakanzwa kubva pakutanga.
8 again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine;
Ndinopamha kukunyorerai murairo mutsva, chiri chinhu chechokwadi maari nemamuri; nokuti rima rinopfuura, zvino chiedza chechokwadi chadovhenekera.
9 he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now;
Uyo anoti ari muchiedza, achivengawo hama yake, ari murima kusvikira zvino.
10 he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not;
Uyo anoda hama yake anogara muchiedza, uye hapana chigumbuso maari.
11 and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes.
Asi uyo anovenga hama yake ari murima, uye anofamba murima, haaziviwo kwaanoenda, nokuti rima rakapofumadza meso ake.
12 I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;
Ndinonyorera imwi, vana vadiki, nokuti zvivi makazvikanganwirwa nekuda kwezita rake.
13 I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye have known the Father:
Ndinonyorera imwi, madzibaba, nokuti makamuziva uripo kubva pakutanga. Ndinonyorera imwi, vadiki, nokuti makakunda wakaipa. Ndinonyorera imwi, vanana, nokuti makaziva Baba.
14 I did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil.
Ndanyorera imwi, madzibaba, nokuti makamuziva iye wakange aripo kubva pakutanga. Ndanyora kwamuri, vadiki, nokuti makasimba, uye shoko raMwari rinogara mamuri uye makakunda wakaipa.
15 Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love 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 desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life — is not of the Father, but of the world,
Nokuti zvese zviri munyika, kuchiva kwenyama, nekuchiva kwameso, nekuzvikudza kweupenyu, hazvibvi kuna Baba, asi zvinobva panyika.
17 and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain — to the age. (aiōn g165)
Uye nyika inopfuura, nekuchiva kwayo; asi anoita kuda kwaMwari anogara kusvika rinhi narinhi. (aiōn g165)
18 Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as ye heard that the antichrist doth come, even now antichrists have become many — whence we know 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 out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but — that they might be manifested that they are not all 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, and have known all things;
Asi imwi mune kuzodzwa kunobva kune Mutsvene, uye munoziva zvinhu zvese.
21 I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth, but because ye have known it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Handina kukunyorerai nokuti hamuzivi chokwadi, asi nokuti munochiziva, uye nokuti hakutongorina nhema dzingabva pachokwadi.
22 Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;
Ndiani murevi wenhema, kunze kwaiye anoramba kuti Jesu ndiKristu? Iye mupikisi waKristu, anoramba Baba neMwanakomana.
23 every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, [he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.]
Ani nani anoramba Mwanakomana haanawo Baba; anobvuma Mwanakomana ana Babawo.
24 Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain,
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 I did write to you concerning those leading you astray;
Zvinhu izvi ndakakunyorerai pamusoro pevanokutsausai.
27 and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain 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, little children, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in 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, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten.
Kana muchiziva kuti wakarurama, munoziva kuti umwe neumwe anoita zvakarurama wakaberekwa naye.
