1 Jọn 2
1 Ezi ụmụntakịrị m, ana m edere unu ihe ndị a ka unu ghara imehie. Ma ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla emehie, anyị nwere onye na-ekwuchite ọnụ anyị nʼihu Nna ahụ. Ọ bụ Jisọs Kraịst, Onye ezi omume ahụ.
My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Yeshua Meshikha, the righteous.
2 Ọ bụ onye jiri onwe ya chụọ aja nʼihi ikpuchiri anyị mmehie anyị, ma ọ bụghị naanị nʼihi mmehie anyị, ọ bụkwa nʼihi mmehie ụwa niile.
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 Otu a ka anyị si amata na anyị maara onye ọ bụ, ma ọ bụrụ na anyị erube isi nye iwu ya niile.
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4 Onye ahụ na-ekwu sị, “Amaara m ya,” ma ọ dịghị eme ihe o nyere nʼiwu bụ onye okwu ụgha, eziokwu ahụ adịghịkwa nʼime ya.
One who says, "I know him," and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 Ma ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla na-erube isi nʼokwu ya, nʼezie, ịhụnanya Chineke bụ ihe emere ka o zuo oke nʼime ya. Ọ bụ otu a ka anyị si amata na anyị nọ nʼime ya.
But whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
6 Onye ọbụla na-ekwu na ya bi nʼime ya kwesiri ibi ndụ dịka ya.
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
7 Ndị enyi m hụrụ nʼanya, anaghị m edere unu ihe gbasara iwu ọhụrụ, kama ọ bụ otu iwu ochie ahụ, nke na-adị site na mbụ. Iwu ochie a bụ nke e ziri unu ozi banyere ya.
Beloved, 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.
8 Ma otu ọ dị, ana m edere unu iwu ọhụrụ, nke bụ eziokwu nʼime ya na nʼime unu. Nʼihi na ọchịchịrị na-agafe, ezi ìhè ebidola ịchawapụta.
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.
9 Onye ọbụla na-asị na ya nọ nʼìhè ma na-akpọ nwanna ya asị, na-anọ nʼọchịchịrị ruo ugbu a.
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
10 Onye ọbụla na-ahụ nwanna ya nʼanya na-ebi nʼime ihe ahụ ọ dịkwaghị ìhè dị nʼime onye dị otu a bụ nke ga-eme ya ka ọ sụọ ngọngọ.
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
11 Ma onye ọbụla na-akpọ nwanna ya asị nọ nʼọchịchịrị, na-ejegharịkwa nʼime ọchịchịrị; ọ maghị ebe ọ na-aga nʼihi na ọchịchịrị ahụ emeela ka o kpuo ìsì.
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Ana m edere unu ihe ndị a ụmụntakịrị m nʼihi na a gbagharala unu mmehie niile site nʼaha ya.
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 Ana m edere unu ndị bụ nna ihe ndị a, nʼihi na unu maara onye ahụ na-adị site na mbụ. Ana m edere unu ụmụ okorobịa, nʼihi na unu emeriela ajọ onye ahụ.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
14 Ana m edere unu ụmụntakịrị, nʼihi na unu maara nna ahụ. Ana m edere unu ndị nna, nʼihi na unu maara onye ahụ na-adị site na mbụ. Ana m edere unu ụmụ okorobịa, nʼihi na unu siri ike, okwu Chineke na-ebikwa nʼime unu, unu emeriekwala ajọ onye ahụ.
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Kwụsịnụ ịhụ ụwa nʼanya, ya na ihe niile dị nʼụwa. Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ahụ ụwa nʼanya ịhụnanya nke Nna adịghị nʼime ya.
Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.
16 Nʼihi na ihe niile dị nʼụwa, ihe ndị ahụ niile anụ ahụ anyị, na anya anyị na-achọ, ya na ịnya isi mmadụ banyere ihe ọ bụ na ihe o nwere, esiteghị nʼebe Nna nọ, kama ha sitere nʼụwa.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
17 Ụwa na ọchịchọ ọjọọ ya niile na-agafe agafe, ma onye ahụ na-eme uche Chineke ga-adị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. (aiōn g165)
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
18 Ụmụ m, nke a bụ oge awa nke ikpeazụ. Dịka unu nụrụ na otu onye na-emegide Kraịst na-abịa, ọ bụladị ugbu a, ọtụtụ ndị na-emegide Kraịst abịala. Otu a ka anyị si amata na ọ bụ oge awa nke ikpeazụ.
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Anti-Meshikha is coming, even now many anti-Meshikha's have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
19 Ha si nʼetiti anyị pụọ, ma ha abụghị ndị nke anyị nʼezie. Nʼihi na a sị na anyị na ha bụ otu, ha gaara aga nʼihu soro anyị nọdụ. Ma ọpụpụ ha pụrụ na-egosi na ọ dịghị onye nʼime ha sonyere anyị.
They went out from us, but they did not 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.
20 Ma unu nwere otite mmanụ sitere nʼOnye Nsọ ahụ, unu niile matakwara ihe niile.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 Ya mere, anaghị m edegara unu akwụkwọ a dịka ndị na-amaghị eziokwu kama nʼihi na unu maara ya na nʼihi na ọ dịghị okwu ụgha ọbụla na-esi nʼeziokwu ahụ apụta.
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Onye bụ onye okwu ụgha? Ọ bụ onye ahụ na-asị na Jisọs abụghị Kraịst ahụ. Onye dị otu a bụ onye na-emegide Kraịst, nʼihi na ọ nabataghị Nna ahụ na Ọkpara ya.
Who is the liar but he who denies that Yeshua is the Meshikha? This is the Anti-Meshikha, he who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Onye ọbụla jụrụ Ọkpara ahụ enwekwaghị Nna ahụ; ma onye ọbụla nabatara Ọkpara ahụ nwekwara Nna ahụ.
Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 Hụnụ na ihe unu nụrụ site na mmalite na-anọgide nʼime unu. Ọ bụrụ na ihe unu nụrụ na mbido ebiri nʼime unu, unu ga-anọgide nʼime Ọkpara ahụ na nʼime Nna ahụ.
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.
This is the promise which he promised us, the everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Ana m edere unu ihe ndị a banyere ndị ahụ na-agbalị iduhie unu.
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 Ma unu onwe unu, otite mmanụ ahụ unu natara nʼaka ya na-anọgide nʼime unu, nʼihi nke a, onye ozizi ọzọ adịghị unu mkpa. Dịka otite mmanụ ya na-ezi unu ihe banyere ihe niile, bụrụkwa eziokwu, ọ bụghị okwu ụgha. Ya mere, dịka o zikwara unu, na-anọgidenụ nʼime ya.
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not 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 remain in him.
28 Ugbu a ụmụntakịrị m, nọgidesienụ ike nʼime ya, ka ọ ga-abụ mgbe e mere ka ọ pụta ìhè, anyị ga-abụ ndị obi siri ike, ndị ihere na-agaghị eme, nʼihu ya mgbe ọ bịara.
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 Ọ bụrụ na unu matara na ọ bụ onye ezi omume, unu maara na onye ọbụla nke na-eme ihe ziri ezi bụ onye a mụrụ site na ya.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
