1 Yanisa 2
1 Ta nayto ta intes hayssa xafizay inte nagara oothonta malako gido attin oonikka nagara oothiko Aawa achan nus xabaqay dees. izika xiilloza Yesuss Kirstossako.
My children, I am writing to you to keep you from sinning; but if any one should sin, we have one who can plead for us with the Father — Jesus Christ, the Righteous —
2 Izi nu nagaray atto geetetena mala oge gigisizade. Hesikka nuna xalala gidontta kumetha alame asasara attin nuus xalla gidena.
and he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but for those of the whole world besides.
3 Nu iza azazota polliko nu iza eridaysa hessan amanetos.
And by this we know that we have learned to know him — by our laying his commands to heart.
4 “Ta iza erays” Gishe iza azazo polontade gidiko he uray wordo asa attiin tumay he uran dena.
The man who says ‘I know Jesus,’ but does not lay his commands to heart, is a liar, and the Truth has no place in him;
5 Qase oonikka iza qaala nagiko tumu Xoossa siqqoy he 7uran polletides. Nuni izan dizaysa erizay hessankko.
but, whenever a man lays his Message to heart, in that man the love of God has indeed reached its perfection. By this we know that we are in union with God —
6 Ta izan days giza uray oonikka Yesuss simeretida mala simeristanas beeses.
He who professes to maintain union with God is himself bound to live as Christ lived.
7 Ta siqoto! ta intes xahaaththaizaysi kasse intes dizaro intekon gam77ida azazoyo attin hara ooratha azazo gidena. Gam77ida azazoya kasse inte siyda qaalako.
Dear friends, it is no new command that I am writing to you, but an old command, which you have had from the first. That old command is the Message to which you listened.
8 Hara bagara ta intes xahaaththaizay dhumay adhi bishin tumu poo7on gish iza achanka inte achan tumu gidida ooratha azazoko.
Yet, again, it is a new Command that I am writing to you — manifest in Christ’s life and in your own — for the Darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.
9 Poo7on daysi gishe ba isha ixiizadey ha7ikka dhuma gidon dees.
He who says that he is in the Light, and yet hates his Brother, is in the Darkness even now.
10 Be isha siqqizadey poo7on dees; he uras dhuphe gidiza mishi denna.
He who loves his Brother is always in the Light, and there is nothing within him to cause him to stumble;
11 Gido attin ba isha ixxizadey gidiko dhuma gidon dees; dhuman simeretes. Dhumay iza qoqisida gish izi awa biizakkone ba bizaso erena.
while he who hates his Brother is in the Darkness, and is living in the Darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the Darkness prevents his seeing.
12 Ta nayto inte nagaray Yesus kiristoosape denddidayssan atto geetetida gish ta intes xafays.
I am writing, Children, to you, because your sins have been forgiven you for Christ’s sake.
13 Aawato! kasse koyrope dizaysa iza inte eriza gish ta intes xafays; Natethato inte iitta uraa Xala7e xoonida gish ta intes xahaaththaays.
I am writing, Fathers, to you, because you have learned to know him who has been from the Beginning. I am writing, Young Men, to you, because you have conquered the Evil One. I write, Children, to you, because you have learned to know the Father.
14 Natetha nayto! inte Aawa erida gish ta intes xafays. Aawato! koyrope dizaysa iza inte erida gish ta intes xafays. Natethato! inte miinota gidida gishinne Xoossa qaalay intenan diza gish inte iitta ura Xala7e xoonida gish ta intes xafays.
I write, Fathers, to you, because you have learned to know him who has been from the Beginning. I write, Young Men, to you, because you are strong, and God’s Message is always in your hearts, and you have conquered the Evil One.
15 Haysa alameza woykko ha alamezan diza ay mishekka dosopite; Oonika ha alameza dosiiko Aawa siqoy izade achchan deena.
Do not love the world or what the world can offer. When any one loves the world, there is no love for the Father in him;
16 Gasoykka ha alamezan dizay wuri asho amoteth ayfes loo7one dusan ceqeteth hayti alamepe attin Xoossa Aawape yizayta gidetenna.
for all that the world can offer — the gratification of the earthly nature, the gratification of the eye, the pretentious life — belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.
17 Alameynne alamen diza amotethi adhana shin Xoossa shene pollizayti gidikko medhinaas daana. (aiōn g165)
And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but he who does God’s will remains for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Nayto haysi wurisetha sate. Inte siyda mala Kirstosa eqetizadey yaana. Ha7ikka Kirstosara eqetiza daroti yida. Haysi wurisetha sate gididaysa nu hayssan eros.
My Children, these are the last days. You were told that an Anti-Christ was coming; and many Anti-Christs have already arisen. By that we know that these are the last days.
19 Isti nu gidofe kezida. Gido attin isti kasseka bagga gidettena. Istti nu bagga gididakko nunara miinni eqqanakoshin; Gido attin istti wuri nu bagga gidontaysi eretana mala nuupe shaaketida
From us, it is true, they went out, but they had never belonged to us; for, if they had belonged to us, they would have remained among us. They left us that it might be made clear that they do not, any of them, belong to us.
20 Intena qasse Kirstossay xiillo ayanan tiyides; Hessa gish inte wurikka tuma ereista.
You, however, have received consecration from the Holy One.
21 Ta intes xafizay inte tuma eronta gish gidena. Gido attin inte tuma eriza gishinne tuma garisafe ayko wordoyka betonttaysa inte eriza gishasa.
You all know — But I am not writing to you because you do not know the Truth, but because you do know it, and because nothing false can come from the Truth.
22 Yesussa izi Kirstossa gidena gi kadizadefe hara wordanchay oone? He uray Aawanne naaza kadiiza Kirstossara eqetizadeko.
Who is a liar, if not the man who rejects the truth that Jesus is the Christ? He is the Anti-Christ — The man who rejects the Father and the Son.
23 Naaza kadizades oonasika Aaway deena; Naaza ekizades wurisos izas Aawayka dees.
No one who rejects the Son has found the Father; he who acknowledges the Son has found the Father also.
24 Inte koyro siyda qalaya intenan du; inte koyro siydara intenan diko intekka nazanne aawan daana.
As for you, let what you were told at the first be always in your thoughts. If, then, what you were told at the first is always in your thoughts, you yourselves will maintain your union both with the Son and with the Father.
And this is what he himself promised us — The Immortal Life! (aiōnios g166)
26 Intena balethiza asata gish hayssa intes xafadis.
In writing thus to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
27 Inte qase izape ekida xiillo ayanay intenan diza gish haray oonikka intena tamarisanas bessena. Izi intena tamarisanays tumu attin worido gidena; Hessa gish xiillo ayanay intena tamarisida mala kirstoosana deyite.
But you — you still retain in your hearts that consecration which you received from the Christ, and are not in need of any one to teach you; but, since his consecration of you teaches you about everything, and since it is a real consecration, and no lie, then, as it has taught you, maintain your union with him.
28 Hesa gish nayto izi qonciza wode nusu xalatethi danamala izi yiza wodeka nu iza sinthan yeletonta mala inte izan deyte.
Yes, my Children, maintain your union with Christ, so that, whenever he appears, our confidence may not fail us, and we may not be ashamed to meet him at his coming.
29 Izi xiillo gididaysa inte eriza gidiko xiillo oothizay wuri izape yelletidaysa inte ereta.
Knowing him to be righteous, you realise that every one who lives righteously has received the new Life from him.
