1 Yokaana 2
1 Baana bange abaagalwa, ebintu bino mbibawandiikidde mulemenga okukola ekibi. Naye omuntu yenna bw’akolanga ekibi tulina omuwolereza eri Kitaffe, ye Yesu Kristo Omutuukirivu.
My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. Yet if any one has sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Just One.
2 Ye, ye mutango olw’ebibi byaffe, naye si lwa bibi byaffe byokka, wabula ne ku lw’ebibi by’abantu bonna.
And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 Bwe tugondera ebiragiro bye, kye kikakasa nti tumutegeera.
And by this, we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Kyokka oyo agamba nti amutegeera n’atakuuma biragiro bye, aba mulimba, era si wa mazima.
He who says, I have known him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this man.
5 Naye buli agondera ekigambo kye, ddala ng’okwagala kwa Katonda kutuukiridde mu muntu oyo. Era ekyo kye kitukakasisa nti tuli mu ye.
But whoever keeps his word, truly in this man the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in him.
6 Oyo agamba nti ali mu ye, asaana okutambula nga Mukama waffe yennyini bwe yatambula.
He who says he abides in him, ought, himself, also, so to walk even as he walked.
7 Abaagalwa, sibawandiikira kiragiro kiggya, naye mbawandiikira ekiragiro ekyabaawo edda, kye kyo kye mwawuliranga okuva ku lubereberye.
Brethren, I do not write a new commandment to you; but an old commandment, which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word, which you have heard from the beginning.
8 Kyokka nno ekiragiro kino kye mbawandiikira kiggya era kikakasirizibwa mu ye ne mu mmwe. Kubanga ekizikiza kigenda kiggwaawo era omusana ogw’amazima kaakano gwaka.
On the other hand, I write to you a new commandment, which is true concerning him and concerning you. For the darkness is passing away, and the light, which is true, now shines.
9 Omuntu agamba nti atambulira mu musana, kyokka ate n’akyawa owooluganda, aba akyali mu kizikiza.
He who says he is in the light and yet hates his brother, is in the darkness till now.
10 Naye ayagala owooluganda aba ali mu musana, era talinaawo kimwesittaza.
He who loves his brother, abides in the light, and there is no stumbling block to him.
11 Kyokka oyo akyawa owooluganda, aba akyali mu kizikiza, era mu kizikiza ekyo mw’atambulira, nga tategeera gy’alaga, kubanga ekizikiza kimuzibye amaaso.
But he who hates his brother, is in the darkness, and walks in that darkness, and does not know whither he goes; because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Baana bange abaagalwa, mbawandiikidde kubanga musonyiyiddwa ebibi byammwe olw’erinnya lye.
Little children, I write to you, because your sins are forgiven you, on account of his name.
13 Era nammwe abakulu, mbawandiikidde kubanga mwamutegeera okuva ku lubereberye. Nammwe abavubuka, mbawandiikidde kubanga muwangudde omubi. Mmwe abaana abaagalwa bawandiikidde, kubanga mutegedde Kitaffe.
Fathers, I write to you, because you have known him from the beginning. Young men, I write to you, because you have overcome the wicked one.
14 Mbawandiikidde mmwe abakulu kubanga mutegedde oyo eyabaawo okuva ku lubereberye. Mbawandiikidde mmwe abavubuka kubanga muli ba maanyi era n’ekigambo kya Katonda kibeera mu mmwe, era muwangudde omubi.
Fathers, I have written to you, because you have known him from the beginning. Young men, I have written to you, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
15 Temwagalanga nsi, wadde eby’ensi. Kubanga omuntu yenna ayagala ensi taliimu kwagala kwa Kitaffe.
Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 Kubanga buli eky’ensi: okwegomba kw’omubiri, n’okwegomba kw’amaaso, n’okwekuluntaza okw’obulamu, si bya Kitaffe, naye bya nsi.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 Ensi n’okwegomba kwayo byonna biggwaawo, naye buli akola Katonda by’ayagala abeerera emirembe gyonna. (aiōn g165)
Now the world passes away, and the lust of it; be he who does the will of God, abides forever. (aiōn g165)
18 Baana bange, ekiseera ekisembayo kituuse. Mwategeezebwa ng’Omulabe wa Kristo bw’agenda okujja, era ne kaakano waliwo abalabe ba Kristo bangi, era kwe tutegeerera ng’ekiseera ekisembayo kituuse.
Young children, it is the last period. And as you have heard that the antichrist comes, so, now, there are many antichrists; whence you know that it is the last period.
19 Abantu abo tebaali baffe ddala, era kyebaava batwawukanako, kubanga singa baali baffe ddala bandisigalidde ddala mu ffe. Naye baatuvaako kiryoke kitegeerekekere ddala nga bonna si b’ewaffe.
They went away from us, but they were not of us. For, if they had been of us, they would have abode with us; but they went away, that they might be made manifest that they were not of us.
20 Kyokka mmwe mwafukibwako amafuta okuva eri Omutukuvu, era mumanyi byonna.
But you have an unction from the Holy One, and know all things.
21 Kyenva mbawandiikira, si lwa kubanga temumanyi mazima, naye lwa kubanga mugategeera era mumanyi okwawula eby’obulimba n’eby’amazima.
I have not written to you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Omulimba y’ani, wabula oyo agamba nti Yesu si ye Kristo. Omuntu oyo yennyini ye Mulabe wa Kristo, era oyo takkiririza Kitaffe wadde Omwana.
Who is a liar, if not he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Kubanga buli atakkiriza Mwana era ne Kitaffe tamukkiriza. Buli ayatula Omwana aba alina ne Kitaffe.
Whoever denies the Son, does not acknowledge the Father.
24 Ekituufu kye mwawulira okuva ku lubereberye kibeerenga mu mmwe. Bwe munaakuumanga ekyo kye mwawulira okuva ku lubereberye, Omwana awamu ne Kitaffe banaabeeranga wamu nammwe.
Therefore, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you have heard from the beginning, abide in you; you also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father:
and this is the promise which he has promised to us, even eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Mbawandiikidde bino olw’okubanga waliwo abo ababalimbalimba.
These things I have written to you, concerning them who deceive you;
27 Kyokka okufukibwako amafuta kwe mwafuna okuva gy’ali kwali mu mmwe, noolwekyo temwetaaga muntu kubayigiriza. Wabula Mwoyo Mutukuvu y’abayigiriza buli kimu, era w’amazima si wa bulimba, kale mubeerenga mu ye nga bwe yabayigiriza.
but the unction which you have received from him abides in you; and you have no need that any one should teach you, unless the same unction teaches you concerning all things, and is truth, and is no lie: and as it has taught you, you will abide in him.
28 Kaakano, abaana abaagalwa, munywerere mu Kristo, bw’alirabika tulyoke tube bagumu abatalikwatibwa nsonyi ku lunaku lw’aliddirako.
And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and may not be put to shame by him, at his coming.
29 Nga bwe mumanyi nti Mukama mutuukirivu, kirungi mutegeere nti oyo akola eby’obutuukirivu ye mwana we.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who works righteousness, has been begotten by him.
