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 write these things to you, in order that you may not sin. And if any one may sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 Inni aarsaa cubbuu keenyaaf araara buusuu dha; cubbuu addunyaa hundaatiifis malee cubbuu keenya qofaaf miti.
he is the expiator for our sins: and not ours only, but indeed for the whole world.
3 Nu yoo ajaja isaa eegne, kanaan akka isa beekne ni beekna.
And in this we know that we have known him, if we are keeping his commandments.
4 Namni, “Ani isa nan beeka” jedhu kan garuu ajaja isaa hin eegne kam iyyuu sobduu dha; dhugaanis isa keessa hin jiru.
The one saying, I have known him, and keeping not his commandments, 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 whosoever shall keep his word, truly the divine love of God has been made perfect in him. In this we know that we are in him.
6 namni ani isaanan jiraadha ofiin jedhu kam iyyuu akkuma Yesuus jiraate sanatti jiraachuu qaba.
The one saying that he abides in him ought himself so to walk about, as he also did walk about.
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 write no new commandment to you, but the old one which you had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which 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.
Again I do write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you: because the darkness is passing away, 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.
The one saying that he is in the light, and hating his brother, is in the darkness until now.
10 Namni obboleessa isaa jaallatu hundinuu ifa keessa jiraata; wanni isa gufachiisu tokko iyyuu isa keessa hin jiru.
The one loving his brother with divine love abides in the light, and there is no 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 the one hating his brother is in darkness, and walks about in darkness, and does not know whither 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 write unto you, little children, because your sins are 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 write unto you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have conquered the wicked one. I have written unto you, little children, because you have known 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 unto you, fathers, because you have known him from the beginning. I have written unto 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.
Love not the world, nor the things that are in the world. If any one 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.
because this is all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 Addunyaa fi hawwiin ishee ni badu; namni fedhii Waaqaa raawwatu garuu bara baraan jiraata. (aiōn g165)
The world and its lust are indeed passing away; but the one doing the will of God abides 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.
Little children, it is the last hour: and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, from which we know that 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 came out from us, but they were not of us; for if they were of us, they would have remained with us: but in order that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us.
20 Isin garuu Isa Qulqulluu sanaan dibamtaniirtu; isin hundis dhugaa ni beektu.
You have an unction from the Holy One, and you all know.
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 unto you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and that no lie is of 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 a liar except the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son.
23 Namni Ilma ganu kam iyyuu Abbaa illee hin qabu; namni waaʼee Ilmaa dhugaa baʼu hundinuu Abbaas qaba.
No one denying the Son has the Father: the one confessing the Son has also the Father.
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.
Let that which you heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which you heard from the beginning may abide in you, you also are abiding in the Son, and in the Father.
This is the message which he proclaimed unto you, eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Ani waaʼee warra karaa irraa isin jalʼisuu yaalan sanaatiif waan kana isiniifin barreessa.
I have written these things unto you concerning those deceiving 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 the unction which you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that any one may teach you: but as his unction teaches you concerning all things, and it is true, and it is no lie, and as he has taught you, abide in him.
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, abide in him; in order that, if he may appear, we may have boldness, and not shrink with embarrassment from him in his presence.
29 Isin yoo akka inni qajeelaa taʼe beektan, akka namni waan qajeelaa hojjetu hundinuu isa irraa dhalate ni beektu.
If you may know that he is righteous, know that every one doing righteousness has been born of him.
