1 Yoane 2
1 Bana na ngai, nazali kokomela bino makambo oyo mpo ete bosala masumu te. Kasi soki esali ete moko kati na bino akweyi na lisumu, tozali na Molobeli moko epai ya Tata: Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo-Na-Bosembo.
MY dear children, these things I write to you, that ye should not sin. And if any of us sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 Amikabaki lokola mbeka mpo na bolimbisi masumu na biso; mpo na masumu na biso kaka te, kasi mpe mpo na masumu ya mokili mobimba.
and he himself is the propitiatory victim for our sins: and indeed not for ours only, but for the whole world.
3 Tala ndenge nini tososolaka ete toyebi Nzambe: ezali mpo ete totosaka mibeko na Ye.
And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Moto nyonso oyo alobaka: « Nayebi Nzambe, » kasi atosaka te mibeko ya Nzambe azali mokosi mpe solo ezali kati na ye te.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and in him the truth is not.
5 Moto oyo atosaka Liloba na Nzambe azalaka penza na bolingo ya kokoka mpo na Nzambe kati na ye. Ezali ndenge wana nde tososolaka ete tozali moko na Ye.
But whosoever keepeth his word, verily in him is the love of God perfected: by this we know that we are in him.
6 Moto nyonso oyo alobaka ete azali kati na Nzambe asengeli mpe kotambola ndenge Yesu atambolaki.
He who saith that he abideth in him, ought as he walked, even so himself to walk.
7 Balingami na ngai, nazali kokomela bino mobeko ya sika te, kasi mobeko ya kala kaka, mobeko oyo bozwaki wuta na ebandeli. Mobeko yango ya kala ezali liloba oyo boyokaki.
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 Nzokande, nazali mpe kokomela bino mobeko ya sika, mpe sika na yango emonani kati na Yesu mpe kati na bino, pamba te molili ezali kolimwa mpe pole ya solo esili kobanda kongenga.
Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which is a true thing in him, and in you, because the darkness is past, and the true light is now shining.
9 Moto nyonso oyo alobaka ete azali kati na pole kasi ayinaka ndeko na ye, azali nanu kati na molili.
He who saith, that he is in the light, yet hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 Moto nyonso oyo alingaka ndeko na ye azali kati na pole; mpe ezali na eloko moko te kati na ye, oyo ekoki kobetisa ye libaku.
He that loveth his brother is in the light, and occasion of stumbling in him there is none.
11 Kasi moto oyo ayinaka ndeko na ye azali kati na molili mpe azali kotambola kati na molili; ayebi te epai azali kokende, pamba te molili esila koboma ye miso.
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he is departing, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 Bana, nazali kokomela bino, pamba te masumu na bino elimbisamaki mpo na Kombo na Yesu-Klisto.
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 Batata, nazali kokomela bino, pamba te boyebi Ye oyo azala wuta na ebandeli. Bilenge, nazali kokomela bino, pamba te bolongaki Satana.
I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14 Bana, nakomeli bino mpo ete boyebi Tata. Batata, nakomeli bino mpo ete boyebi Ye oyo azala wuta na ebandeli. Bilenge, nakomeli bino mpo ete bozali makasi, Liloba na Nzambe ezali kowumela kati na bino, mpe bolongaki Satana.
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him, who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
15 Bolingaka mokili te; bolingaka mpe te nyonso oyo ezali kati na mokili. Moto oyo alingaka mokili azalaka na bolingo ya Tata te kati na ye,
Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 pamba te nyonso oyo ezali kati na mokili, lokola baposa mabe ya nzoto, posa makasi ya konduka biloko oyo miso ezali kolula, mpe lofundu mpo na biloko; ewuti na Tata te, kasi ewuti na mokili.
For every thing which is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pomp of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 Mokili mpe baposa na yango ezali koleka, kasi moto oyo asalaka mokano ya Nzambe awumelaka tango nyonso. (aiōn g165)
And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof, but he who doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Bana, tokomi na tango ya suka; ndenge kaka boyokaki ete monguna ya Klisto azali koya, nzokande banguna ya Klisto basili koya sik’oyo ebele, ndenge wana mpe tosengeli koyeba ete tokomi na tango ya suka.
My dear children, it is the last hour; and as ye have heard that antichrist is coming, even now there are many antichrists: by which we know it is the last hour.
19 Banguna yango babimelaki kati na biso, kasi bazalaki penza bato na biso te. Pamba te soki bazalaki bato na biso, balingaki kotikala na biso; kasi batikaki biso mpo ete emonana polele ete bango nyonso bazali bato na biso te.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they departed, that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us:
20 Nzokande bino, bozali na epakolami kowuta na Molimo Mosantu, mpe bino nyonso bozali na boyebi ya nyonso.
though ye have an unction from the Holy One, and know all things.
21 Ngai nakomeli bino mpo ete boyebi yango mpe mpo ete lokuta moko te ewutaka na solo; kasi ezali te mpo boyebi yango te.
I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Boye nani mokosi? Mokosi azali moto oyo awangani ete Yesu azali Klisto. Mpe moto ya ndenge wana azali monguna ya Klisto: awanganaka Tata mpe Mwana.
Who is the liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? This man is the antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Moto nyonso oyo awangani Yesu azali mpe na Tata te. Moto oyo atatoli Yesu azali mpe na Tata.
Every one that denieth the Son, neither doth he hold the Father; but he that acknowledgeth the Son, holdeth the Father also.
24 Kasi bino, bosimba makasi makambo oyo boyokaki wuta na ebandeli. Soki ezali penza kowumela kati na bino, bokowumela mpe kati na Mwana mpe kati na Tata.
Let that abide in you therefore which ye have heard from the beginning. If that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he hath promised to us, even life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Nazali kokomela bino makambo oyo na tina na bato oyo bazali komeka kopengwisa bino.
These things have I written unto you concerning those who are leading you astray.
27 Kasi mpo na bino, epakolami ya Molimo oyo bozwaki kowuta na Klisto ezali kowumela kati na bino. Boye, bozali lisusu na posa te ete bapesa bino malakisi. Kasi lokola Molimo ya Klisto apesaka bino malakisi na tina na makambo nyonso, lokola mpe apesaka malakisi ya solo kasi ya lokuta te, bowumela kati na malakisi yango ndenge kaka bapesaki bino yango.
But the unction which ye have received from him abideth in you; and ye need not that any person should instruct you. But as the same unction teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie; and as it hath taught you, abide in him.
28 Sik’oyo, bana na ngai, bowumela ya kokangama na Klisto mpo ete, na ngonga nyonso oyo akomimonisa, tozala na elikya mpe toyoka soni te na liboso na Ye tango akoya.
And now, my dear children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be put to shame by him at his coming.
29 Boyebi malamu ete Klisto azali sembo; boye bosengeli mpe koyeba ete moto nyonso oyo asalaka makambo ya sembo azali mwana na Nzambe.
If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is born of him.
