1 Yohannis 2
1 Yaa ijoollee ko, ani akka isin cubbuu hin hojjenneef kana isiniifan barreessa. Garuu yoo namni kam iyyuu cubbuu hojjete nu Abbaa biraa abukaattoo qabna; innis Yesuus Kiristoos Isa Qajeelaa sana.
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
2 Inni aarsaa cubbuu keenyaaf araara buusuu dha; cubbuu addunyaa hundaatiifis malee cubbuu keenya qofaaf miti.
He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 Nu yoo ajaja isaa eegne, kanaan akka isa beekne ni beekna.
By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
4 Namni, “Ani isa nan beeka” jedhu kan garuu ajaja isaa hin eegne kam iyyuu sobduu dha; dhugaanis isa keessa hin jiru.
If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 Garuu yoo namni kam iyyuu dubbii isaatiif ajajame, jaalalli Waaqaa dhugumaan isa keessatti guutuu taʼa. Kanaanis nu akka isa keessa jirru ni beekna;
But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:
6 namni ani isaanan jiraadha ofiin jedhu kam iyyuu akkuma Yesuus jiraate sanatti jiraachuu qaba.
Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.
7 Yaa obboloota, ani ajaja moofaa isuma jalqabaa kaasee isin bira ture sana malee ajaja haaraa isinii hin barreessu. Ajajni moofaan kunis ergaadhuma isin dhageessan sana.
Beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old one, which you have had from the beginning. This commandment is the message you have heard.
8 Taʼus ani ajaja haaraa tokko isiniif nan barreessa; sababiin isaas dukkanichi darbaa, ifni dhugaa immoo waan amma iyyuu ifaa jiruuf dhugaan isaa isa keessattii fi isin keessatti ni mulʼata.
Then again, I am also writing to you a new commandment, which is true in Him and also in you. For the darkness is fading and the true light is already shining.
9 Namni ani ifa keessa jira ofiin jechaa obboleessa isaa immoo jibbu kam iyyuu amma illee dukkana keessa jira.
If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.
10 Namni obboleessa isaa jaallatu hundinuu ifa keessa jiraata; wanni isa gufachiisu tokko iyyuu isa keessa hin jiru.
Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him.
11 Namni obboleessa isaa jibbu garuu dukkana keessa jira; dukkanuma keessa jiraatas; inni waan dukkanni sun isa jaamseef gara itti adeemu hin beeku.
But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Yaa ijoolle, cubbuun keessan sababii maqaa isaatiif waan isinii dhiifameef ani isiniifin barreessa.
I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.
13 Yaa abbootii, isin waan isa jalqabumaa kaasee jiru sana beektaniif ani isiniifin barreessa. Yaa dargaggoota, isin waan isa hamaa sana moʼattaniif, ani isiniifin barreessa.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.
14 Yaa ijoolle, isin waan Abbaa beektaniif, ani isiniifin barreessa. Yaa abbootii, isin waan isa jalqabumaa kaasee jiru sana beektaniif, ani isiniifin barreessa. Yaa dargaggoota, isin waan jajjaboo taataniif, waan dubbiin Waaqaa isin keessa jiraatuuf, waan isa hamaa sanas moʼattaniif, ani isiniifin barreessa.
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 abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Addunyaa yookaan waan addunyaa keessa jiru tokko illee hin jaallatinaa. Eenyu iyyuu yoo addunyaa jaallate, jaalalli Abbaa isa keessa hin jiru.
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 Wanni addunyaa keessa jiru hundinuu jechuunis hawwiin foonii, hawwiin ijaa, akkasumas waan qabaniin kooruun kan addunyaati malee kan Abbaa miti.
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.
17 Addunyaa fi hawwiin ishee ni badu; namni fedhii Waaqaa raawwatu garuu bara baraan jiraata. (aiōn g165)
The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever. (aiōn g165)
18 Yaa ijoolle, saʼaatiin kun saʼaatii dhumaa ti; akka farri Kiristoos sun dhufu akkuma dhageessan sana ammuma iyyuu farroonni Kiristoos baayʼeen dhufaniiru. Kanaanis nu akka saʼaatiin kun saʼaatii dhumaa taʼe beekna.
Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.
19 Isaan nu keessaa baʼan malee dhugumaan kan keenya hin turre. Utuu kan keenya taʼanii silaa nu biratti hafu turan; nu biraa deemuun isaanii garuu akka tokkoon isaanii iyyuu keenya hin taʼin mulʼise.
They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us.
20 Isin garuu Isa Qulqulluu sanaan dibamtaniirtu; isin hundis dhugaa ni beektu.
You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
21 Sababiin ani isinii barreessuuf waan isin dhugaa beektanii fi akka sobni tokko iyyuu dhugaa keessa hin jirres beektaniif malee waan isin dhugaa hin beekneef miti.
I have not written to you because you lack knowledge of the truth, but because you have it, and because no lie comes from the truth.
22 Nama Yesuus kun Kiristoos miti jedhee ganu malee sobduun eenyu ree? Namni akkasii farra Kiristoos; inni Abbaa fi Ilma ni gana.
Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Namni Ilma ganu kam iyyuu Abbaa illee hin qabu; namni waaʼee Ilmaa dhugaa baʼu hundinuu Abbaas qaba.
Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
24 Wanni isin jalqabaa kaaftanii dhageessan sun isin keessa haa jiraatu. Yoo wanni jalqabaa kaaftanii dhageessan isin keessa jiraate, isinis Ilmaa fi Abbaadhaan ni jiraattu.
As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Ani waaʼee warra karaa irraa isin jalʼisuu yaalan sanaatiif waan kana isiniifin barreessa.
I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
27 Garuu dibanni isin isa irraa argattan sun waan isin keessa jiraatuuf namni tokko iyyuu isin barsiisuu hin barbaachisu; dibanni isaa sun garuu waan waaʼee hundumaa isin barsiisuuf, dibanni sun waan dhugaa malee soba hin taʼiniif akkuma inni isin barsiise sanatti isumaan jiraadhaa.
And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.
28 Ammas yaa ijoolle, akka yommuu inni mulʼatutti ija jabina qabaannuuf, akka nu guyyaa dhufaatii isaattis fuula isaa duratti hin qaanofneef isaan jiraadhaa.
And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
29 Isin yoo akka inni qajeelaa taʼe beektan, akka namni waan qajeelaa hojjetu hundinuu isa irraa dhalate ni beektu.
If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.
