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, 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,
2 We nĩwe igongona rĩa kũhoroheria mehia maitũ, na to mehia maitũ moiki, no nĩ mehia ma andũ othe a thĩ.
and he — he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world,
3 Na ithuĩ nĩtũmenyaga atĩ nĩtũmũũĩ, angĩkorwo nĩtwathĩkagĩra maathani make.
and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;
4 Mũndũ ũrĩa uugaga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩmũũĩ,” no ndekaga ũrĩa aathanaga-rĩ, ũcio nĩ wa maheeni, na ũhoro wa ma ndũrĩ thĩinĩ wake.
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;
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:
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.
6 Ũrĩa wothe uugaga atĩ nĩatũire thĩinĩ wake-rĩ, no nginya athiĩ na mĩthiĩre ta ĩrĩa Jesũ aarĩ nayo.
He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.
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, 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;
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.
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;
9 Mũndũ ũrĩa uugaga atĩ arĩ ũtheri-inĩ no nĩathũire mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa ithe-rĩ, ũcio arĩ o nduma-inĩ.
he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now;
10 Ũrĩa wothe wendete mũrũ na mwarĩ wa ithe atũũraga ũtheri-inĩ, na thĩinĩ wake gũtirĩ ũndũ ũngĩtũma ahĩngwo.
he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not;
11 No ũrĩa wothe ũthũire mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa ithe, arĩ nduma-inĩ na athiiaga na nduma; ndamenyaga kũrĩa arathiĩ, tondũ nduma nĩĩmũtuĩte mũtumumu.
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.
12 Ndĩramwandĩkĩra, inyuĩ twana twakwa nyendete, tondũ nĩmũrekeirwo mehia manyu nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake.
I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;
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 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:
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 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.
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 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,
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.
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,
17 Thĩ na merirĩria mayo nĩithiraga, no mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga ũrĩa Ngai endaga atũũraga nginya tene. (aiōn g165)
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)
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 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;
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.
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.
20 No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũrĩ ahake maguta nĩ Ũrĩa Mũtheru, na inyuĩ inyuothe nĩmũũĩ ũhoro wa ma.
And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
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 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.
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 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;
23 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaanaga Mũriũ ũkĩrĩ na Ithe witũ; ũrĩa wothe uumbũraga Mũriũ arĩ na Ithe o nake.
every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, [he who is confessing the Son hath 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.
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,
and this is the promise that He did promise us — the life the age-during. (aiōnios g166)
26 Ndĩramwandĩkĩra maũndũ maya makoniĩ ũhoro wa andũ arĩa marageria kũmũhĩtithia.
These things I did write to you concerning those leading you astray;
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.
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.
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, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in his presence;
29 Angĩkorwo nĩmũũĩ atĩ we nĩ mũthingu, kĩmenyei atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire nĩaciarĩtwo nĩwe.
if ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten.
