1 Joni 2
1 Osi mofavre'nimota kumi osnazegu ama avona kre'neramue. Hianagi mago vahe'mo'ma kumi'ma haniana, tagrira amu'no netia Nerafa'ene mani'ne, ana nera fatgo ne' Jisas Kraisi'e.
My children, I am writing to you to keep you from sinning. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the righteous.
2 Agra'a kumitimofona nona huno apaserante'ne, tagri kumike sese huorante'neanki, maka mopafi vahe kumi'ene sese huzmante'ne.
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
3 Agri kase kema erizafa nehanuta, Agri vahe'mani'none huta keta antahita hugahune.
It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
4 Aza'o huno Anumzamofona antahi'na ke'na hu'noe nehuno, kasege'a amage ontesimo'a, havige vahe mani'neankino, e'inahu vahepina tamage kemo'a agu'afina omanegahie.
Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
5 Hianagi aza'o Agri kema amage antesimofona, tamage e'i ana vahepina Anumzamofo avesi'zamo fatgo huno megahie. E'inama hanigeta tagra antahita keta nehuta, Agripi manigahune.
But the person who keeps God’s word, in them the love of God has indeed reached its perfection. This is how we can be sure we are in him:
6 Mago'mo'ma Anumzane mani'noe hanimo'a, Jisasi'ma vano hu'nea kna huno vano hugahie.
whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
7 Rone'nimota kasefa kasege krenoramuanki, korapa'ma antahi'naza kasege neramasamue. Ana naneke pusante'ma antahi'naze. (Jon 13:34)
Dear friends, it is no new command that I am writing to you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. That old command is the message you have already heard.
8 Mago kazigama antahisazana, kasefa kasege kreneramue, tamage huno Jisasimpine tamagripinena megahie. Na'ankure hanimo'a hago enevigeno, tamage tavi'mo'a remsa hu'ne.
Yet, in a way, it is a new command that I am writing to you – which is shown true in Christ’s life and in yours – for the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
9 Mago'mo'ma masare mani'noe nehuno, Jisasinte amentinti nehia nefuma ha'ma rentesuno'a, hanizampi mani'ne.
The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
10 Mago'mo'ma amentinti nehia nefunku avesinentemo'a, masare mani'neankino mago'zamo'a azeri traka osugahie.
The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
11 Mago'mo'ma amentinti nehia nefunku antahi haviza huntesuno'a, hanizampi mani'neno, hanizampi kana nevuno, agra iga nevie ontahi'ne. Na'ankure hanizamo'a avuraga erisu hu'ne.
The person who hates is in the dark. They stumble along in the darkness; they do not know where they are going because the darkness blinds them.
12 Osi mofavrenimota ama avoma kre neramuana, Anumzamo'a Jisasi agifi kumitimima apaseramante'negu kreneramue. Na'ankure Agri Agire kumitimia apaseramante'ne.
Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
13 Nagra ama avona, tafahemota kre neramue, ko'ma ese agafare mani'nea nera, ko keta antahita hu'naze. Ama avona kasefa vahe'motma kre neramue, ko Satana agatere'naze.
Parents, I am writing to you because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I am writing to you because you have conquered the evil one. Children, I write to you because you have come to know the Father.
14 Nagra ama avona mofavre nagamotarega kre neramue, tamagra ko Nefana keta antahita hu'naze. Ra vahe'motarega ama avona kre neramue, ko'ma ese agafare'ma mani'nea Nera ko keta antahita hu'naze. Kahefa vahe'motarega ama avona kre neramue, tamagra ko hanavetizageno, Anumzamofo kemo'a tamagu'afina hanavetino megetma Satana agatere'naze.
Parents, I write to you because you have learned to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I write to you because you are strong, and God’s message is always in your hearts, and you have conquered the evil one.
15 Ama mopafi avu'ava zanku'ene, mopafi zanku tamesionteho. Mago vahe'mo'ma ama mopagu'ma avesintesuno'a, Nerafa avesi'zamo'a agripina omane'ne.
Do not love the world or what the world can offer. When anyone loves the world, there is no love for the Father in them.
16 Na'ankure maka mopafi me'neazana, avufamofo avesi'zane, kenunu hu'zane, agraguke antahi'zanena ama mopafizane. Nerafapintira nome-e, hianagi ama mopafinti fore hu'ne.
For all that the world can offer – the desires for physical pleasure, the enticements to the eye, the arrogance of wealth – belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.
17 Ama mopane, maka'a avesi'zamo'a vagaregahie. Hianagi iza'o Anumzamofo avesi'ma amage'antesimo'a, manivava hugahie. (aiōn g165)
And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Mofavre nagamote, hago vagare knafi one, ko'ma Kraisima huhaviza hunte havige anti Kraisi fore hugahie higetma antahi'naze. Menina Kraisima huhaviza hunte vahera havige enti Kraisi rama'a hago efore hu'naze. E'i anazama keta antahita nehuta, vagare knafi neone huta hugahune.
My children, it is the last hour. You were told that an antichrist was coming; and many antichrists have already arisen. This is why we know that this is the last hour.
19 Zamagra tagripinti tatre'za vu'naze, hianagi zamagra tagri naga tfana omani'naze. Na'ankure zamagrama tagri naga'ma mani'naresina, zamagra tagrane manizasine. Hu'neanagi zamagra atre'za tagripinti vu'naza zamo'a, taveri hiana, maka'mo'za tagri nagara omani'naze.
These people come from our ranks, but they were never truly part of us – if they had been then they would have stayed with us. They left so it would be clear that none of them really belonged to us.
20 Hianagi anage hu'na nehue, Ruotage'ma Hu'nemo, Anumzamo tamagrira huhampri ramantegeta, maka'motma ko antahi'naze.
You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
21 Tamage ke ontahi'naze hu'na avona kre noramue, hianagi tamagra ko antahi'nazankino, ana tamage kefina havigea omane'ne.
I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie can come from the truth.
22 Iza havige vahera mani'ne? Hianagi Jisasinku Kraisi'a omani'ne huno hufrakisimo'a, agra havige anti kraisi nemanino, Nefane Nemofone amefi huntenimo'a, Kraisi ha' vahe mani'ne.
Who is a liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? That person is the antichrist – one who rejects the Father and the Son.
23 Iza'o Nemofoma onke'noe huno hufrakisimo'a, Nefana ovare'ne. Aza'o nemofonku huama hanimo'a, Nefana avare'ne.
No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
24 Hagi tamagra, ko'ma ese'ma antahi'naza tamage kea atrenkeno tamagripina meno, tamagra ko'ma antahinaza mono kemo tamagripi me'nenigeta, anahu kna huta Nemofonte'ene Nefampina manigahaze.
As for you, you must let what you have heard from the beginning continue to live in you. If what you heard from the beginning dwells in you, you will remain both in the Son and the Father.
And this is what he himself promised us – eternal life! (aiōnios g166)
26 Ama ana zanku'ma kre neramuana, reramataga huku'ma nehaza vaheku hu'na kre neramue.
In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
27 Hagi menina tamagriku huno, huhampri ramante'neaza Avamura Agripinti eri'nazageno tamagu'afi mani'neanki mago vahe'mo'a huramagesa hu'zankura ontahigahaze. Hu'neanagi Agri Avamu'mo maka'zana rempi huramigahiankino havi kea osu tamage hugahie. Tamasmi'nea kante antetma Agripi manigahaze.
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains with you. You do not need anyone to teach you. His anointing teaches you about everything. What it teaches you is true, it is not a lie. Do what it has taught you: abide in him.
28 Hagi menina osi mofavre naganimote, Kraisimpi mani'nenkeno, Agrama efore'ma hanigetma oti hanavenetita, ete esigetma tamagazegura huta korera osugahaze.
Yes, my children, remain in him, so that when he appears our confidence doesn’t fail us, and we are not ashamed to meet him at his coming.
29 Tamagrama ketma antahita Kraisima hanazama fatgoma Agrama hu'nenigetma, tamagranena ko'ma antahi'nazane, iza'o hakare vahepinti'ma fatgo zamavu'zmava hanamokizmia nezmafa manigahie.
Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
