< 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.
Me mma, meretwerɛ yei abrɛ mo na moanyɛ bɔne; na sɛ obi yɛ bɔne a, yɛwɔ Yesu Kristo ɔteneneeni no a ɔsrɛ wɔ Agya no hɔ ma yɛn.
2 Ungumhlatshelo wenhlawulo yezono zethu, kungasizono zethu kuphela kodwa lezono zomhlaba wonke.
Na Kristo no ankasa ne yɛn bɔne ho mpata na ɛnyɛ yɛn bɔne nko, na nnipa nyinaa bɔne.
3 Siba leqiniso ukuthi siyamazi nxa silalela imilayo yakhe.
Sɛ yɛdi Onyankopɔn mmara so a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ yɛnim no.
4 Umuntu othi, “Ngiyamazi,” kodwa angagcini imilayo yakhe uqamba amanga, leqiniso kalalo.
Sɛ obi ka sɛ, “Menim no”, nanso ɔnni ne mmara so a, saa onipa no yɛ ɔtorofoɔ a nokorɛ nni ne mu.
5 Kodwa nxa umuntu elalela ilizwi lakhe, uthando lukaNkulunkulu luyapheleliswa sibili kuye. Yikho esikwazi ngakho ukuthi sikuye:
Na obiara a ɔtie nʼAsɛm no yɛ obi a nokorɛm, ne dɔ a ɔde dɔ Onyankopɔn no wie pɛ yɛ. Yei na ɛma yɛgye to mu sɛ yɛte ne mu.
6 Lowo othi uhlala kuye kumele aphile njengokwenziwa nguJesu.
Na sɛ yɛte ne mu deɛ a, na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛdi Yesu Kristo anammɔn akyi.
7 Bangane abathandekayo, kangililobeli umlayo omutsha, kodwa omdala, elalilawo kusukela ekuqaleni. Umlayo lo omdala uyilizwi elalizwayo.
Anuanom, saa mmara a meretwerɛ abrɛ mo yi nyɛ asɛm foforɔ. Ɛyɛ mmara dada a moate firi ahyɛaseɛ pɛɛ no. Mmara dada no yɛ adeɛ a moate ho asɛm dada.
8 Ikanti ngililobela umlayo omutsha; iqiniso lawo libonakala kuye lakini, ngoba ubumnyama buyedlula lokukhanya kweqiniso sekukhanya.
Nanso, mmara a meretwerɛ abrɛ mo yi yɛ foforɔ na emu nokorɛ no da adi wɔ Kristo ne mo mu. Esum no retwam na hann papa no gu so rehyerɛn.
9 Lowo othi usekukhanyeni kodwa ezonda umzalwane wakhe ulokhu esebumnyameni.
Obiara a ɔka sɛ ɔwɔ hann no mu, nanso ɔtane ne nua no wɔ sum mu bɛsi saa dɔnhwereɛ yi mu.
10 Othanda umzalwane wakhe uhlala ekukhanyeni njalo akulalutho kuye olungamenza akhubeke.
Obiara a ɔdɔ ne nua no te hann mu, enti biribiara nni ne mu a ɛbɛma obi foforɔ ayɛ bɔne.
11 Kodwa lowo ozonda umzalwane wakhe usebumnyameni njalo uyazula ebumnyameni. Kakwazi lapho aya khona ngoba ubumnyama sebumenze waba yisiphofu.
Nanso, obiara a ɔtane ne nua no te sum mu. Ɔnam mu a ɔnnim faako a ɔrekɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, esum no afira nʼani.
12 Ngiyalilobela bantwana abathandekayo, ngoba izono zenu zithethelelwe ngenxa yebizo lakhe.
Me mma, meretwerɛ mo, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsiane Kristo din enti, wɔde mo bɔne akyɛ mo.
13 Ngiyalilobela bobaba, ngoba selimazi yena okhona kusukela ekuqaleni. Ngiyalilobela majaha, ngoba limnqobile omubi.
Agyanom, meretwerɛ mo, ɛfiri sɛ, monim deɛ ɔte ase firi ahyɛaseɛ no. Mmabunu, meretwerɛ mo, ɛfiri sɛ, moadi ɔbonsam so.
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.
Mma, meretwerɛ mo, ɛfiri sɛ, monim Agya no. Agyanom, meretwerɛ mo, ɛfiri sɛ, monim deɛ ɔte ase firi ahyɛaseɛ no. Mmabunu, meretwerɛ mo, ɛfiri sɛ, mowɔ ahoɔden, na Onyankopɔn asɛm no te mo mu, na moadi ɔbonsam so.
15 Lingawuthandi umhlaba loba olunye ulutho olusemhlabeni. Nxa umuntu ethanda umhlaba, uthando lukaBaba kalukho kuye.
Monnnɔ ewiase anaasɛ biribiara a ɛyɛ ewiase dea. Sɛ modɔ ewiase a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ monnnɔ Agya a ɔwɔ mo mu no.
16 Ngoba izinto zonke ezisemhlabeni, izinkanuko zabantu abalezono, ukulangazela kwamehlo abo kanye lokuzigqaja ngempahla akuveli kuBaba, kodwa emhlabeni.
Biribiara a ɛyɛ ewiase dea, honam akɔnnɔ, deɛ nnipa hunu na wɔn kɔn dɔ, biribiara a ɛwɔ ewiase a nnipa hoahoa wɔn ho wɔ ho no, emu biara mfiri Agya no. Ne nyinaa firi ewiase.
17 Umhlaba lezinkanuko zawo kuyadlula, kodwa umuntu owenza intando kaNkulunkulu uphila kuze kube nininini. (aiōn g165)
Ewiase ne mu akɔnnɔdeɛ retwam, nanso deɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn apɛdeɛ no tena hɔ daa. (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.
Me mma, awieeɛ no abɛn. Wɔka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ Kristo Tamfoɔ no bɛba, nanso seesei, Kristo atamfoɔ bebree ada wɔn ho adi, enti yɛahunu sɛ ampa awieeɛ no abɛn.
19 Baphuma besuka kithi, kodwa impela babengasibo bakithi. Ngoba aluba babengabakithi, babezahlala lathi; kodwa ukusuka kwabo kwatshengisa ukuthi kakho kubo owayengowakithi.
Nokorɛm, na saa nnipa yi nka yɛn ho na ɛno enti na wɔgyaa yɛn hɔ no. Na sɛ wɔka yɛn ho a, anka wɔne yɛn tenaeɛ. Nanso, wɔgyaa yɛn hɔ, sɛdeɛ wobɛhunu no pefee sɛ wɔnka yɛn ho.
20 Kodwa lina ligcotshwe ngoNgcwele, njalo lonke liyalazi iqiniso.
Mo deɛ, Kristo ahwie Honhom Kronkron no agu mo so, enti mo nyinaa nim nokorɛ no.
21 Kangililobeli ngoba iqiniso kalilazi, kodwa ngoba liyalazi langenxa yokuthi akulamanga aphuma eqinisweni.
Ɛnyɛ sɛ monnim nokorɛ no enti na matwerɛ saa krataa yi, na mmom, monim na monim nso sɛ, atorɔ biara mfiri nokorɛ mu mma.
22 Umqambi wamanga ngubani? Ngumuntu ophikayo ukuthi uJesu unguKhristu. Umuntu onjalo ngumphikuKhristu, uphika uYise leNdodana.
Afei, hwan ne ɔtorofoɔ? Ɛyɛ obi a ɔka sɛ Yesu nyɛ Kristo no. Yei ne Kristo ɔtamfoɔ. Ɔpo Agya no ne Ɔba no nyinaa.
23 Kakho ophika iNdodana oloYise; lowo owamukela iNdodana uloYise futhi.
Na deɛ ɔpo Ɔba no po Agya no; deɛ ɔgye Ɔba no gye Agya no nso.
24 Bonani ukuthi lokho elakuzwayo kusukela ekuqaleni kuyahlala kini. Nxa kuhlala, lani lizahlala likhona eNdodaneni lakuYise.
Mommɔ mmɔden mfa asɛm a motee ahyɛaseɛ no nsie mo akoma mu. Sɛ mode asɛm a motee ahyɛaseɛ no sie a, mo ne Ɔba no ne Agya no bɛnya ayɔnkofa.
25 Njalo nanku asithembisa khona, ukuphila okulaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
Na yei na Kristo no ankasa ahyɛ yɛn ho bɔ no, nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ no. (aiōnios g166)
26 Ngililobela ngalezizinto mayelana lalabo abazama ukulidukisa.
Metwerɛ mo fa wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔdaadaa mo ho.
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.
Na mo deɛ, Kristo ahwie ne Honhom Kronkron no agu mo so. Mmerɛ dodoɔ a ne Honhom no te mo mu no, ɛho nhia sɛ obi foforɔ bɛkyerɛkyerɛ mo. Ɛfiri sɛ, ne Honhom no kyerɛkyerɛ mo biribiara. Na deɛ ɔkyerɛ no nso yɛ nokorɛ; ɛnyɛ atorɔ. Montie Kristo nkyerɛkyerɛ no na montena ne mu.
28 Ngakho-ke, bantwana abathandekayo, qhubekani likuye ukuze kuthi lapho esebonakala sibe lesibindi njalo singabi lenhloni phambi kwakhe ekufikeni kwakhe.
Me mma, montena ne mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ ɔba a, yɛbɛnya akokoɔduru na yɛmfa aniwuo nkɔ hinta da a ɔbɛba no.
29 Nxa likwazi ukuthi ulungile, liyakwazi ukuthi umuntu wonke oyenza okulungileyo uzelwe ngaye.
Monim sɛ Kristo yɛ ɔteneneeni. Na ɛsɛ sɛ mohunu sɛ obiara a ɔyɛ ade tenenee no yɛ Onyankopɔn ba.
