1 Yohani 2
1 Vana vangu nikuvayandikila mambu aga, muni mkoto kumbudila Chapanga. Nambu, akavya mundu ambudili Chapanga, tivii naku mmonga mweakutiyupila kwa Chapanga Dadi witu pahala pitu, mundu mwenuyo ndi Yesu Kilisitu mweavili mbwina neju.
My children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ [the] righteous;
2 Kilisitu ndi mweawusiwi luteta muni tilekekeswa kumbudila kwitu Chapanga, na lepi kubuda kwitu tete ndu, ndi kubuda kwa vandu va pamulima woha.
and he is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.
3 Ngati tikayidakila mihilu ya Chapanga tihotola kujova chakaka kuvya timmanyili Chapanga.
And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Mundu akajova ammanyi Chapanga, nambu nakugayidakila mihilu yaki, mundu mwenuyo ndi mdese, na uchakaka uvi lepi mugati yaki.
He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
5 Nambu mundu yoyoha mweilanda lilovi la Chapanga, mwenuyo ndi ana uganu wa chakaka wa Chapanga ukamiliki mugati yaki. Naha ndi tihotola kuvya na uchakaka kuvya tiwungini nayu,
but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
6 mundu yoyoha mwaijova kuvya awungini na Chapanga, iganikiwa kutama ngati cheatamayi Yesu Kilisitu.
He that says he abides in him ought, even as he walked, himself also [so] to walk.
7 Vankozi vangu, mihilu iyi yenikuvayandikila lepi mihilu ya mupya, ndi mihilu yilayila yemwavili nayu kutumbula kadeni. Mihilu iyi ya kadeni ndi ujumbi wula wemwayuwini.
Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard.
8 Hati naha mihilu iyi yenikuvayandikila ndi mihilu ya mupya, na uchakaka waki ulolekana mugati ya Kilisitu na mugati yinu mewa. Muni chitita chiwukili, na lumuli lwa chakaka lumalili kutumbula kulangasa.
Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines.
9 Mundu yoyoha mweijova kuvya avili mu lumuli, nambu akumyomela mlongo waki, mundu mwenuyo akona muchitita mbaka hinu.
He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
10 Mundu yoyoha mweakumgana mlongo waki avi mu lumuli, na kawaka chochoha mugati yaki chechihotola lepi kumkita mundu yungi kumbudila Chapanga.
He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
11 Nambu mundu yoyoha mweakumvenga mlongo waki avili muchitita, igenda muchitita, na amanyili lepi kweihamba, muni chitita chimkoywili mihu.
But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Nikuvayandikila nyenye vana muni kubuda kwinu kulekekiswi kwa gala geakitili Kilisitu.
I write to you, children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 Nikuvayandikila nyenye mwavadadi muni mummanyili mwene mweavili kutumbula pakutumbula. Nikuvayandikila nyenye vasongolo ndava muni mumuhotwili Muhakau yula.
I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked [one]. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14 Nikuvayandila nyenye vana ndava muni mummanyili Dadi witu. Nikuvayandikila nyenye mwavadadi muni mummanyili Kilisitu mweavili kuhuma pautumbula. Nikuvayandikila nyenye vasongolo muni muna makakala, lilovi la Chapanga livili mugati yinu na mumuhotwili Muhakau yula.
I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked [one].
15 Mkoto kuugana mulima, amala chochoha chechivili cha pamulima. Mundu mweakuugana mulima, kumgana Chapanga Dadi witu kuvi lepi mugati yaki.
Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him;
16 Ndava vindu vyoha vyavi pamulima, ndi, mnogo uhakau wetivelekiwi nawu na mnogo wa kila chindu chevakuchilola na kuvigana kumeka ndava ya vindu vyeuvili navyu pamonga na mambu geukita. Vyenivyo vyoha vihuma lepi kwa Chapanga Dadi witu, ndi vihuma kwa vamulima.
because 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 Mulima pamonga na vindu vyaki vyoha vyevakuvigana vandu vihamba nambu mundu mweikita geigana Chapanga, yati itama magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōn g165)
And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity. (aiōn g165)
18 Vana vangu, mwishu uvi papipi! Mwamali kuyuwana kuvya yula mweakumbela Kilisitu ibwela, na hinu vevakumbela Kilisitu vamahele vamali kubwela, na ndi timanyili mwishu uvili papipi.
Little children, it is [the] last hour, and, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, whence we know that it is [the] last hour.
19 Vandu avo vahumalili kwitu nambu vavi lepi vakwitu, ngavivya vakwitu ngavasigalili kwitu. Nambu vawukili vakahamba, ndava yimanyikana kuvya chakaka vavi lepi vakwitu.
They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none are of us.
20 Nambu nyenye mpokili Mpungu Msopi kuhuma kwa Kilisitu, na ndi chakaka muumanyili.
And ye have [the] unction from the holy [one], and ye know all things.
21 Nikuvayandikila nyenye lepi kwa ndava muumanyili lepi uchakaka, nambu muni muumanyili, mewawa mmanyili kuvya udese wowoha wihuma lepi muuchakaka.
I have not written to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Wu, mdese ndi yani? Ndi yula mweibela kuvya Yesu Kilisitu ndi Msangula lepi. Mundu ngati mwenuyo ndi likoko wa Kilisitu, vakuvabela voha Dadi na Mwana.
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Muni mundu yoyoha mweakumubela Mwana, akumbela na Dadi mewa, na yoyoha mweakumuyidakila Mwana, akumuyidakila Dadi mewa.
Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 Hinu, ujumbi wula wamwayuwini kuhuma pautumbula ndi utama mumitima yinu. Ngati ujumbi wenuwo ukatamayi mugati yinu hinu yati mwitama magono goha mukuwungana na Mwana na Dadi.
As for you let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
25 Chila cheajovili Kilisitu kuvya yati akutipela ndi wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the promise which he has promised us, life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Nivayandikili mambu aga ndava ya vala vevigana kuvayagisa nyenye.
These things have I written to you concerning those who lead you astray:
27 Nambu nyenye, mukumpokela Mpungu Msopi kuhuma kwa Kilisitu. Namwene akayendelela kutama mugati yinu nakuganikiwa kuwuliwa na mundu yoyoha. Muni Mpungu Msopi akuvawula kila chindu, na mawuliwu gaki ndi gachakaka, lepi gaudese. Hinu, mukamula mawuliwu ga Mpungu uyo na kusigalila mukuwungana na Kilisitu.
and yourselves, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28 Nambu nyenye vana vangu, muyendelela kuwungana nayu, muni ligono leibwela mkoto kuyogopa amala kukola soni.
And now, children, abide in him, that if he be manifested we may have boldness, and not be put to shame from before him at his coming.
29 Mmanyili kuvya Kilisitu ndi mbwina neju palongolo ya Chapanga, mewawa mmanyili kuvya kila mweihenga gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga mwenuyo ndi Mwana wa Chapanga.
If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
