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, that ye sin not. But if any one should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus the Messiah, 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.
For he is himself the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for all the world.
3 Ngati tikayidakila mihilu ya Chapanga tihotola kujova chakaka kuvya timmanyili Chapanga.
And by this we shall be sensible 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.
For he that saith, I know him, and doth 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 he that keepeth his word, in him is the love of God truly completed: for by this we know that we are in him.
6 mundu yoyoha mwaijova kuvya awungini na Chapanga, iganikiwa kutama ngati cheatamayi Yesu Kilisitu.
He that saith, I am in him, is bound to walk according to his walkings.
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.
My beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but the old commandment which ye had from the beginning; and the old commandment is the word, which ye have 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, a new commandment I write to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness hath passed away, and the true light beginneth to appear.
9 Mundu yoyoha mweijova kuvya avili mu lumuli, nambu akumyomela mlongo waki, mundu mwenuyo akona muchitita mbaka hinu.
Whoever therefore shall say that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in 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 loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and in him is no stumbling.
11 Nambu mundu yoyoha mweakumvenga mlongo waki avili muchitita, igenda muchitita, na amanyili lepi kweihamba, muni chitita chimkoywili mihu.
But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness; and he knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 Nikuvayandikila nyenye vana muni kubuda kwinu kulekekiswi kwa gala geakitili Kilisitu.
I write to you, ye 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, ye fathers, because ye have known him who existed from the beginning. I write to you, ye young men, because ye have vanquished the evil one.
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, ye little ones, because ye have known the Father. I have written to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who was from the beginning, I have written to you, ye young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God dwelleth in you, and ye have vanquished the evil 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 any thing in it; for whoever loveth the world, hath not the love of the Father 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.
For all that is in the world, is, the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world; which are not from the Father, but from the world itself.
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 away, both it and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the pleasure of God, abideth for ever. (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.
My children, it is the latter time; and as ye have heard that a false Messiah was to arise, so there are now many false Messiahs; and from this we know that it is the latter time.
19 Vandu avo vahumalili kwitu nambu vavi lepi vakwitu, ngavivya vakwitu ngavasigalili kwitu. Nambu vawukili vakahamba, ndava yimanyikana kuvya chakaka vavi lepi vakwitu.
From us they went out, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out from us, that so it might be known, that they were not of us.
20 Nambu nyenye mpokili Mpungu Msopi kuhuma kwa Kilisitu, na ndi chakaka muumanyili.
But ye have an unction from the Holy One; and ye discriminate every person.
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 know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no falsehood 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 false, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? And that person is a false Messiah. He that denieth the Father, denieth also the Son.
23 Muni mundu yoyoha mweakumubela Mwana, akumbela na Dadi mewa, na yoyoha mweakumuyidakila Mwana, akumuyidakila Dadi mewa.
And he that denieth the Son, also believeth not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, confesseth also the Father.
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.
And what ye heard from the first, let that remain with you. For if that, which ye heard from the first, remaineth with you, ye also will remain in the Father and in the Son.
25 Chila cheajovili Kilisitu kuvya yati akutipela ndi wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the promise, which he hath promised us, even life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Nivayandikili mambu aga ndava ya vala vevigana kuvayagisa nyenye.
And these things I have written to you, on account of those who seduce you.
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 ye also, if the unction which ye have received from him remaineth in you, need not that any one should teach you; but as that unction is from God, it teacheth you all things; and it is true, and no falsehood is in it. And as it hath taught you, remain ye in him.
28 Nambu nyenye vana vangu, muyendelela kuwungana nayu, muni ligono leibwela mkoto kuyogopa amala kukola soni.
And now, my children, remain ye in him; that so, when he shall be manifested, we may not be ashamed before him, but may have an open countenance 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, ye also know, that whoever doeth righteousness, is from him.
