1 Hoani 2
1 E aku tamariki nonohi, ka tuhituhi atu nei ahau i enei mea ki a koutou, kia kaua ai koutou e hara. A ki te hara tetahi, he kaikorero mo tatou kei te Matua, ko Ihu Karaiti, ko te tika:
My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counsellor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
2 Ko ia ano te whakamarie mo o tatou hara: ehara i te mea mo o tatou anake, engari mo o te ao katoa.
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 Ma konei hoki tatou ka matau ai kua matau tatou ki a ia, ki te puritia e tatou ana ture.
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4 Ki te mea tetahi, Kua matau ahau ki a ia, a kahore e pupuri i ana ture, he tangata teka ia, kahore hoki te pono i roto i a ia.
One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.
5 Ko te tangata e pupuri ana i tana kupu, kua tino rite pu i a ia te aroha o te Atua: ma konei tatou ka matau ai kei roto tatou i a ia:
But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:
6 Ko te tangata e mea ana e noho ana ia i roto i a ia, ko te tikanga tenei mana, kia rite tana haere ki ta tera.
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
7 E oku teina, ehara i te ture hou taku e tuhituhi atu nei ki a koutou, engari he ture tawhito, ko tera i a koutou o te timatanga iho ra ano: ko te ture tawhito ko te kupu kua rongo ra koutou.
Brothers, 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 from the beginning.
8 Na, he ture hou taku e tuhituhi atu nei, he mea pono i a ia, i a koutou hoki, e mahea atu ana hoki te pouri, a kua whiti ke mai te marama pono.
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 Ko te tangata e mea ana kei te marama ia, a e mauahara ana ki tona teina, kei roto ia i te pouri a tae noa mai nei.
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.
10 Ko te tangata e aroha ana ki tona teina, e noho ana ia i roto i te marama, kahore hoki he tutukitanga waewae i roto i a ia.
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
11 Ko te tangata ia e mauahara ana ki tona teina, kei te pouri ia, e haere ana ia i roto i te pouri, kahore hoki ona matauranga e haere ana ia ki hea, no te mea kua matapotia ona kanohi e te pouri.
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Ka tuhituhi atu nei ahau ki a koutou, e nga tamariki nonohi, no te mea kua murua o koutou hara, he whakaaro hoki ki tona ingoa.
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 Ka tuhituhi atu nei ahau ki a koutou, e nga matua, no te mea kua matau koutou ki a ia, ara ki to te timatanga. Ka tuhituhi atu ahau ki a koutou, e nga taitamariki, no te mea kua hinga i a koutou te wairua kino. Ka tuhituhi atu ahau ki a koutou, e nga tamariki nohinohi, no te mea kua matau koutou ki te Matua.
I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
14 I tuhituhi atu ai ahau ki a koutou, e nga matua, no te mea kua matau koutou ki a ia, ara ki to te timatanga. I tuhituhi atu ai ahau ki a koutou, e nga taitamariki, no te mea he kaha koutou, e mau ana hoki te kupu a te Atua i roto i a koutou, a k ua hinga i a koutou te wairua kino.
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Kaua e aroha ki te ao, kaua ano hoki ki nga mea o te ao. Ki te aroha tetahi ki te ao, kahore te aroha o te Matua i roto i a ia.
Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.
16 Ko nga mea katoa hoki i te ao, te hiahia o te kikokiko, te hiahia o nga kanohi, me te whakapehapeha ki o te ao mea, ehara i te Matua, engari no te ao.
For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.
17 E pahemo atu ana hoki te ao, me tona hiahia: tena ko te tangata e mea ana i ta te Atua e pai ai, e noho tonu ana ia a ake ake. (aiōn g165)
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
18 E nga tamariki nonohi, ko te haora whakamutunga tenei: ka rite hoki ki ta koutou i rongo ai, e haere mai ana te anatikaraiti; na, kua tokomaha nei nga anatikaraiti; ma konei tatou ka matau ai ko te haora whakamutunga tenei.
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
19 I haere atu ratou i roto i a tatou, ehara ia i te mea no tatou ratou; mehemea hoki no tatou ratou, kua noho tonu ki a tatou: otiia kua haere atu ratou kia whakakitea ai ehara ratou katoa i a tatou.
They went out from us, but they didn’t 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 Na he whakawahinga ano to koutou na te Mea Tapu; e matau ana ano hoki koutou ki nga mea katoa.
You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.
21 Ehara i te mea i tuhituhi atu ai ahau ki a koutou no te mea kahore koutou e matau ki te pono, engari no te mea e matau ana koutou, no te mea hoki kahore he teka i puta ake i te pono.
I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Ko wai koia te tangata teka? he teka ianei ko te tangata e mea ana, Ehara a Ihu i te Karaiti? Ko te anatikaraiti tenei, ko te tangata e whakakahore ana ki te Matua, ki te Tama.
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Ko nga tangata katoa e whakakahore ana ki te Tama, kahore te Matua i a ratou: ko te tangata e whakaae ana ki te Tama, kei a ia ano hoki te Matua.
Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 Na, kia mau ki roto ki a koutou ta koutou i rongo ai no te timatanga ra ano. Ki te mea ka mau i roto i a koutou ta koutou i rongo ai no te timatanga ra ano, e mau ano koutou i roto i te Tama, i roto ano hoki i te Matua.
Therefore, 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 eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 I tuhituhia atu e ahau enei mea ki a koutou, mo te hunga e mea ana ki te whakapohehe i a koutou.
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 Otiia e mau ana ano i roto i a koutou tana whakawahinga kua riro na i a koutou: kahore hoki o koutou mea e whakaakona ai koutou e tetahi: ko tana whakawahinga ia e whakaako na i a koutou ki nga mea katoa, he pono tonu, kahore hoki he teka, kia r ite ra ki tana i whakaako ai i a koutou to koutou mau ki roto ki a ia.
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t 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 will remain in him.
28 Na inaianei, e nga tamariki nohinohi, kia mau ki roto ki a ia; kia whai maiatanga ai tatou ina puta mai ia, kei whakama hoki ki a ia ina tae mai ia.
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 Ki te matau koutou he tika ia, ka matau koutou he mea whanau nana nga tangata katoa e mea ana i te tika.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
