1 Johana 2
1 Twana twakwa nyendete, ngũmwandĩkĩra maũndũ maya nĩgeetha mũtikehagie. No mũndũ o na ũ angĩĩhia-rĩ, nĩ tũrĩ na mũtũciirĩrĩri harĩ Ithe witũ, na nĩwe Jesũ Kristũ, Ũrĩa Mũthingu.
My little children, I write these things unto you, that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
2 We nĩwe igongona rĩa kũhoroheria mehia maitũ, na to mehia maitũ moiki, no nĩ mehia ma andũ othe a thĩ.
And He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 Na ithuĩ nĩtũmenyaga atĩ nĩtũmũũĩ, angĩkorwo nĩtwathĩkagĩra maathani make.
And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Mũndũ ũrĩa uugaga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩmũũĩ,” no ndekaga ũrĩa aathanaga-rĩ, ũcio nĩ wa maheeni, na ũhoro wa ma ndũrĩ thĩinĩ wake.
He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 No mũndũ o wothe angĩathĩkĩra kiugo gĩake-rĩ, ti-itherũ wendo wa Ngai nĩmũkinyanĩru kũna thĩinĩ wake. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũtũmaga tũmenye atĩ tũrĩ thĩinĩ wake:
But whosoever keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: and by this we know that we are in Him.
6 Ũrĩa wothe uugaga atĩ nĩatũire thĩinĩ wake-rĩ, no nginya athiĩ na mĩthiĩre ta ĩrĩa Jesũ aarĩ nayo.
He that saith, he abideth in Him, ought himself also so to walk even as He walked.
7 Arata akwa endwa, ti rĩathani rĩerũ ndĩramwandĩkĩra, no nĩ rĩathani rĩrĩa rĩa tene, o rĩrĩa mũtũire narĩo kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria. Rĩathani rĩĩrĩ rĩa tene nĩrĩo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa mũiguĩte.
Brethren, I write not a new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning:
8 No rĩu nĩ rĩathani rĩerũ ndĩramwandĩkĩra; naguo ũhoro wa ma warĩo wonekaga thĩinĩ wake na thĩinĩ wanyu, tondũ nduma no ĩrathira, naguo ũtheri ũrĩa wa ma nĩũrĩkĩtie kwara.
though I write it again as a new commandment, which is truth in Him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9 Mũndũ ũrĩa uugaga atĩ arĩ ũtheri-inĩ no nĩathũire mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa ithe-rĩ, ũcio arĩ o nduma-inĩ.
Now he that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is still in darkness:
10 Ũrĩa wothe wendete mũrũ na mwarĩ wa ithe atũũraga ũtheri-inĩ, na thĩinĩ wake gũtirĩ ũndũ ũngĩtũma ahĩngwo.
whereas, he that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and is in no danger of stumbling.
11 No ũrĩa wothe ũthũire mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa ithe, arĩ nduma-inĩ na athiiaga na nduma; ndamenyaga kũrĩa arathiĩ, tondũ nduma nĩĩmũtuĩte mũtumumu.
But he, that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not where he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 Ndĩramwandĩkĩra, inyuĩ twana twakwa nyendete, tondũ nĩmũrekeirwo mehia manyu nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake.
I write unto you, little children, because for his sake your sins are forgiven you:
13 Ndĩramwandĩkĩra, inyuĩ maithe, tondũ nĩmũmenyete ũrĩa warĩ kuo kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria. Ndĩramwandĩkĩra, inyuĩ andũ ethĩ, tondũ nĩmũtooretie ũrĩa mũũru. Ndĩramwandĩkĩra, inyuĩ twana twakwa nyendete, tondũ nĩmũmenyete Ithe witũ.
I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him that is from the beginning: and I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. Yea I have written to you, little children, because ye have known the Father:
14 Ndĩramwandĩkĩra, inyuĩ maithe, tondũ nĩmũmenyete ũrĩa warĩ kuo kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria. Ndĩramwandĩkĩra, inyuĩ andũ ethĩ, tondũ mũrĩ na hinya, nakĩo kiugo kĩa Ngai nĩgĩtũũraga thĩinĩ wanyu, na nĩmũtooretie ũrĩa mũũru.
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him that is from the beginning: and I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one---
15 Mũtikende thĩ kana kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wa thĩ. Mũndũ o na ũ angĩkorwo nĩendete thĩ-rĩ, wendo wa Ithe witũ ndũrĩ thĩinĩ wake.
Love not the world, nor the things that are in the world; for if any one love the world to excess, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 Nĩgũkorwo ũndũ o wothe ũrĩ gũkũ thĩ, na nĩmo merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, na merirĩria ma maitho make, na mwĩraho wa kĩrĩa arĩ nakĩo na ũrĩa ekaga: maũndũ macio matiumanĩte na Ithe witũ, no moimanĩte na thĩ.
For all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but of the world.
17 Thĩ na merirĩria mayo nĩithiraga, no mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga ũrĩa Ngai endaga atũũraga nginya tene. (aiōn g165)
And the world passeth away, and the desire of it: but he, that doth the will of God, abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Twana twakwa nyendete, rĩĩrĩ nĩ ithaa rĩa kũrigĩrĩria; na o ta ũrĩa mũiguĩte atĩ mũmena-Kristũ nĩarooka, o na rĩu amena-Kristũ aingĩ nĩmokĩte. Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩtũmenyete atĩ rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo ithaa rĩa kũrigĩrĩria.
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that an antichrist will come, there are even now many antichrists, whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 Kuuma nĩmoimire kũrĩ ithuĩ, no matiarĩ aitũ. Nĩgũkorwo mangĩarĩ aitũ-rĩ, nĩmangĩaikarire hamwe na ithuĩ; no gũthiĩ kwao kuonanirie atĩ gũtiarĩ o na ũmwe wao warĩ witũ.
They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been indeed of us, they would have continued with us; but this was done that they might be made manifest, because all, that are with us, are not indeed of us.
20 No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũrĩ ahake maguta nĩ Ũrĩa Mũtheru, na inyuĩ inyuothe nĩmũũĩ ũhoro wa ma.
And ye have an unction from the holy One, and know all.
21 Ndĩramwandĩkĩra tondũ mũtiũĩ ũhoro wa ma, no ngũmwandĩkĩra tondũ nĩmũũĩ ũhoro wa ma, na tondũ gũtirĩ ũhoro wa maheeni uumanaga na ũhoro wa ma.
I have not therefore written to you, because ye know not the truth; but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Nũũ ũkĩrĩ mũheenania? Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkaanaga atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ. Mũndũ ta ũcio nĩwe mũmena-Kristũ: mũndũ ũcio nĩakaanaga Ithe o na Mũriũ.
Who is a liar, if not he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, that denieth the Father as well as the Son;
23 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaanaga Mũriũ ũkĩrĩ na Ithe witũ; ũrĩa wothe uumbũraga Mũriũ arĩ na Ithe o nake.
for whosoever denieth the Son, hath not the Father: but he that confesseth the Son acknowledgeth the Father also.
24 Mwĩmenyererei nĩguo ũndũ ũrĩa mũrĩkĩtie kũigua kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria ũikarage thĩinĩ wanyu. Ũndũ ũcio ũngĩikara thĩinĩ wanyu-rĩ, o na inyuĩ mũrĩikaraga thĩinĩ wa Mũriũ, o na mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Ithe.
Let that therefore, which ye have heard from the beginning, abide in you: for if that, which ye heard from the beginning, remain in you, ye also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise which He hath promised us, even eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Ndĩramwandĩkĩra maũndũ maya makoniĩ ũhoro wa andũ arĩa marageria kũmũhĩtithia.
These things have I written unto you concerning those who would seduce you.
27 Na inyuĩ-rĩ, maguta marĩa mwahakirwo nĩwe-rĩ, megũtũũra thĩinĩ wanyu, na mũtibatairio nĩ mũndũ o na ũ wa kũmũruta ũhoro. No rĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa ihaka rĩake rĩa maguta rĩmũrutaga ũhoro wa maũndũ mothe, na o ta ũrĩa rĩrĩ rĩa ma, na ti rĩa maheeni: o ta ũrĩa rĩmũrutĩĩte-rĩ, tũũrai thĩinĩ wake.
But the unction, which ye have received from Him, abideth in you; and therefore ye have no need that any should teach you: since this very unction teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth and not falshood; even as that hath taught you, abide in Him.
28 Na rĩu, inyuĩ twana twakwa nyendete, kĩrĩrĩriai gũikara thĩinĩ wake nĩgeetha rĩrĩa akoonithanio tũgaakorwo tũrĩ na ũũmĩrĩru na tũtegũconoka mbere yake hĩndĩ ĩrĩa agooka.
And now, little children, abide, I say, in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and may not be ashamed before Him at his coming.
29 Angĩkorwo nĩmũũĩ atĩ we nĩ mũthingu, kĩmenyei atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire nĩaciarĩtwo nĩwe.
If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one, who practiseth righteousness, is born of Him.
