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 little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor 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 atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 Ngati tikayidakila mihilu ya Chapanga tihotola kujova chakaka kuvya timmanyili Chapanga.
This is how 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.
One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t 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 God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:
6 mundu yoyoha mwaijova kuvya awungini na Chapanga, iganikiwa kutama ngati cheatamayi Yesu Kilisitu.
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
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.
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 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 is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away 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 even until now.
10 Mundu yoyoha mweakumgana mlongo waki avi mu lumuli, na kawaka chochoha mugati yaki chechihotola lepi kumkita mundu yungi kumbudila Chapanga.
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
11 Nambu mundu yoyoha mweakumvenga mlongo waki avili muchitita, igenda muchitita, na amanyili lepi kweihamba, muni chitita chimkoywili mihu.
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 Nikuvayandikila nyenye vana muni kubuda kwinu kulekekiswi kwa gala geakitili Kilisitu.
I write to you, little 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 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 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 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 Mkoto kuugana mulima, amala chochoha chechivili cha pamulima. Mundu mweakuugana mulima, kumgana Chapanga Dadi witu kuvi lepi mugati yaki.
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 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—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 Mulima pamonga na vindu vyaki vyoha vyevakuvigana vandu vihamba nambu mundu mweikita geigana Chapanga, yati itama magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōn g165)
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever. (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, 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 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 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 Nambu nyenye mpokili Mpungu Msopi kuhuma kwa Kilisitu, na ndi chakaka muumanyili.
You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.
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 you don’t know the truth, but because you know it, and because 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? This is the Antichrist, he 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 doesn’t have the Father. 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.
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.
25 Chila cheajovili Kilisitu kuvya yati akutipela ndi wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōnios g166)
This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Nivayandikili mambu aga ndava ya vala vevigana kuvayagisa nyenye.
These things I have written to you concerning those who would 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.
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 Nambu nyenye vana vangu, muyendelela kuwungana nayu, muni ligono leibwela mkoto kuyogopa amala kukola soni.
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed 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 you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
