1 UJohane 2
1 Bantwabami abathandekayo, ngililobela incwadi le ukuze lingenzi izono. Kodwa nxa umuntu enze isono, silaye osimelayo kuBaba esivikela yena uJesu Khristu oLungileyo.
he priyabālakāḥ, yuṣmābhi ryat pāpaṁ na kriyeta tadarthaṁ yuṣmān pratyetāni mayā likhyante| yadi tu kenāpi pāpaṁ kriyate tarhi pituḥ samīpe 'smākaṁ ekaḥ sahāyo 'rthato dhārmmiko yīśuḥ khrīṣṭo vidyate|
2 Ungumhlatshelo wenhlawulo yezono zethu, kungasizono zethu kuphela kodwa lezono zomhlaba wonke.
sa cāsmākaṁ pāpānāṁ prāyaścittaṁ kevalamasmākaṁ nahi kintu likhilasaṁsārasya pāpānāṁ prāyaścittaṁ|
3 Siba leqiniso ukuthi siyamazi nxa silalela imilayo yakhe.
vayaṁ taṁ jānīma iti tadīyājñāpālanenāvagacchāmaḥ|
4 Umuntu othi, “Ngiyamazi,” kodwa angagcini imilayo yakhe uqamba amanga, leqiniso kalalo.
ahaṁ taṁ jānāmīti vaditvā yastasyājñā na pālayati so 'nṛtavādī satyamatañca tasyāntare na vidyate|
5 Kodwa nxa umuntu elalela ilizwi lakhe, uthando lukaNkulunkulu luyapheleliswa sibili kuye. Yikho esikwazi ngakho ukuthi sikuye:
yaḥ kaścit tasya vākyaṁ pālayati tasmin īśvarasya prema satyarūpeṇa sidhyati vayaṁ tasmin varttāmahe tad etenāvagacchāmaḥ|
6 Lowo othi uhlala kuye kumele aphile njengokwenziwa nguJesu.
ahaṁ tasmin tiṣṭhāmīti yo gadati tasyedam ucitaṁ yat khrīṣṭo yādṛg ācaritavān so 'pi tādṛg ācaret|
7 Bangane abathandekayo, kangililobeli umlayo omutsha, kodwa omdala, elalilawo kusukela ekuqaleni. Umlayo lo omdala uyilizwi elalizwayo.
he priyatamāḥ, yuṣmān pratyahaṁ nūtanāmājñāṁ likhāmīti nahi kintvādito yuṣmābhi rlabdhāṁ purātanāmājñāṁ likhāmi| ādito yuṣmābhi ryad vākyaṁ śrutaṁ sā purātanājñā|
8 Ikanti ngililobela umlayo omutsha; iqiniso lawo libonakala kuye lakini, ngoba ubumnyama buyedlula lokukhanya kweqiniso sekukhanya.
punarapi yuṣmān prati nūtanājñā mayā likhyata etadapi tasmin yuṣmāsu ca satyaṁ, yato 'ndhakāro vyatyeti satyā jyotiścedānīṁ prakāśate;
9 Lowo othi usekukhanyeni kodwa ezonda umzalwane wakhe ulokhu esebumnyameni.
ahaṁ jyotiṣi vartta iti gaditvā yaḥ svabhrātaraṁ dveṣṭi so 'dyāpi tamisre varttate|
10 Othanda umzalwane wakhe uhlala ekukhanyeni njalo akulalutho kuye olungamenza akhubeke.
svabhrātari yaḥ prīyate sa eva jyotiṣi varttate vighnajanakaṁ kimapi tasmin na vidyate|
11 Kodwa lowo ozonda umzalwane wakhe usebumnyameni njalo uyazula ebumnyameni. Kakwazi lapho aya khona ngoba ubumnyama sebumenze waba yisiphofu.
kintu svabhrātaraṁ yo dveṣṭi sa timire varttate timire carati ca timireṇa ca tasya nayane 'ndhīkriyete tasmāt kka yāmīti sa jñātuṁ na śaknoti|
12 Ngiyalilobela bantwana abathandekayo, ngoba izono zenu zithethelelwe ngenxa yebizo lakhe.
he śiśavaḥ, yūyaṁ tasya nāmnā pāpakṣamāṁ prāptavantastasmād ahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhāmi|
13 Ngiyalilobela bobaba, ngoba selimazi yena okhona kusukela ekuqaleni. Ngiyalilobela majaha, ngoba limnqobile omubi.
he pitaraḥ, ya ādito varttamānastaṁ yūyaṁ jānītha tasmād yuṣmān prati likhāmi| he yuvānaḥ yūyaṁ pāpatmānaṁ jitavantastasmād yuṣmān prati likhāmi| he bālakāḥ, yūyaṁ pitaraṁ jānītha tasmādahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhitavān|
14 Ngiyalilobela, bantwana abathandekayo, ngoba liyamazi uBaba. Ngiyalilobela bobaba, ngoba selimazi yena okhona kusukela ekuqaleni. Ngiyalilobela majaha, ngoba lilamandla lelizwi likaNkulunkulu lihlala kini, njalo limnqobile omubi.
he pitaraḥ, ādito yo varttamānastaṁ yūyaṁ jānītha tasmād yuṣmān prati likhitavān| he yuvānaḥ, yūyaṁ balavanta ādhve, īśvarasya vākyañca yuṣmadantare vartate pāpātmā ca yuṣmābhiḥ parājigye tasmād yuṣmān prati likhitavān|
15 Lingawuthandi umhlaba loba olunye ulutho olusemhlabeni. Nxa umuntu ethanda umhlaba, uthando lukaBaba kalukho kuye.
yūyaṁ saṁsāre saṁsārasthaviṣayeṣu ca mā prīyadhvaṁ yaḥ saṁsāre prīyate tasyāntare pituḥ prema na tiṣṭhati|
16 Ngoba izinto zonke ezisemhlabeni, izinkanuko zabantu abalezono, ukulangazela kwamehlo abo kanye lokuzigqaja ngempahla akuveli kuBaba, kodwa emhlabeni.
yataḥ saṁsāre yadyat sthitam arthataḥ śārīrikabhāvasyābhilāṣo darśanendriyasyābhilāṣo jīvanasya garvvaśca sarvvametat pitṛto na jāyate kintu saṁsāradeva|
17 Umhlaba lezinkanuko zawo kuyadlula, kodwa umuntu owenza intando kaNkulunkulu uphila kuze kube nininini. (aiōn g165)
saṁsārastadīyābhilāṣaśca vyatyeti kintu ya īśvarasyeṣṭaṁ karoti so 'nantakālaṁ yāvat tiṣṭhati| (aiōn g165)
18 Bantwana abathandekayo, lesi yisikhathi sokucina; njalo njengoba lizwile ukuthi umphikuKhristu uyeza, lakhathesi abanengi abaphika uKhristu sebekhona. Yikho esikwazi ngakho ukuthi lesi yisikhathi sokucina.
he bālakāḥ, śeṣakālo'yaṁ, aparaṁ khrīṣṭāriṇopasthāvyamiti yuṣmābhi ryathā śrutaṁ tathā bahavaḥ khrīṣṭāraya upasthitāstasmādayaṁ śeṣakālo'stīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
19 Baphuma besuka kithi, kodwa impela babengasibo bakithi. Ngoba aluba babengabakithi, babezahlala lathi; kodwa ukusuka kwabo kwatshengisa ukuthi kakho kubo owayengowakithi.
te 'smanmadhyān nirgatavantaḥ kintvasmadīyā nāsan yadyasmadīyā abhaviṣyan tarhyasmatsaṅge 'sthāsyan, kintu sarvve 'smadīyā na santyetasya prakāśa āvaśyaka āsīt|
20 Kodwa lina ligcotshwe ngoNgcwele, njalo lonke liyalazi iqiniso.
yaḥ pavitrastasmād yūyam abhiṣekaṁ prāptavantastena sarvvāṇi jānītha|
21 Kangililobeli ngoba iqiniso kalilazi, kodwa ngoba liyalazi langenxa yokuthi akulamanga aphuma eqinisweni.
yūyaṁ satyamataṁ na jānītha tatkāraṇād ahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhitavān tannahi kintu yūyaṁ tat jānītha satyamatācca kimapyanṛtavākyaṁ notpadyate tatkāraṇādeva|
22 Umqambi wamanga ngubani? Ngumuntu ophikayo ukuthi uJesu unguKhristu. Umuntu onjalo ngumphikuKhristu, uphika uYise leNdodana.
yīśurabhiṣiktastrāteti yo nāṅgīkaroti taṁ vinā ko 'paro 'nṛtavādī bhavet? sa eva khrīṣṭāri ryaḥ pitaraṁ putrañca nāṅgīkaroti|
23 Kakho ophika iNdodana oloYise; lowo owamukela iNdodana uloYise futhi.
yaḥ kaścit putraṁ nāṅgīkaroti sa pitaramapi na dhārayati yaśca putramaṅgīkaroti sa pitaramapi dhārayati|
24 Bonani ukuthi lokho elakuzwayo kusukela ekuqaleni kuyahlala kini. Nxa kuhlala, lani lizahlala likhona eNdodaneni lakuYise.
ādito yuṣmābhi ryat śrutaṁ tad yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhatu, āditaḥ śrutaṁ vākyaṁ yadi yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhati, tarhi yūyamapi putre pitari ca sthāsyatha|
sa ca pratijñayāsmabhyaṁ yat pratijñātavān tad anantajīvanaṁ| (aiōnios g166)
26 Ngililobela ngalezizinto mayelana lalabo abazama ukulidukisa.
ye janā yuṣmān bhrāmayanti tānadhyaham idaṁ likhitavān|
27 Ukugcotshwa kwenu elakwamukela kuye, kuhlezi kukini, njalo kalisweli muntu wokulifundisa. Kodwa njengoba ukugcoba kwakhe kulifundisa izinto zonke njalo njengoba ukugcoba lokho kuqotho, akusinkohliso njengoba kulifundisile, hlalani likuye.
aparaṁ yūyaṁ tasmād yam abhiṣekaṁ prāptavantaḥ sa yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhati tataḥ ko'pi yad yuṣmān śikṣayet tad anāvaśyakaṁ, sa cābhiṣeko yuṣmān sarvvāṇi śikṣayati satyaśca bhavati na cātathyaḥ, ataḥ sa yuṣmān yadvad aśikṣayat tadvat tatra sthāsyatha|
28 Ngakho-ke, bantwana abathandekayo, qhubekani likuye ukuze kuthi lapho esebonakala sibe lesibindi njalo singabi lenhloni phambi kwakhe ekufikeni kwakhe.
ataeva he priyabālakā yūyaṁ tatra tiṣṭhata, tathā sati sa yadā prakāśiṣyate tadā vayaṁ pratibhānvitā bhaviṣyāmaḥ, tasyāgamanasamaye ca tasya sākṣānna trapiṣyāmahe|
29 Nxa likwazi ukuthi ulungile, liyakwazi ukuthi umuntu wonke oyenza okulungileyo uzelwe ngaye.
sa dhārmmiko 'stīti yadi yūyaṁ jānītha tarhi yaḥ kaścid dharmmācāraṁ karoti sa tasmāt jāta ityapi jānīta|
