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 so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, 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.
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 Nu yoo ajaja isaa eegne, kanaan akka isa beekne ni beekna.
This is how we know that we 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.
One who says, "I know him," and does not keep 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 whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
6 namni ani isaanan jiraadha ofiin jedhu kam iyyuu akkuma Yesuus jiraate sanatti jiraachuu qaba.
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he 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 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.
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 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 Namni ani ifa keessa jira ofiin jechaa obboleessa isaa immoo jibbu kam iyyuu amma illee dukkana keessa jira.
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
10 Namni obboleessa isaa jaallatu hundinuu ifa keessa jiraata; wanni isa gufachiisu tokko iyyuu isa keessa hin jiru.
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for 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 he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and 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 write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
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 write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little 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 people, because you are strong, and the word of God remains 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, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love 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 lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
17 Addunyaa fi hawwiin ishee ni badu; namni fedhii Waaqaa raawwatu garuu bara baraan jiraata. (aiōn g165)
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will 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.
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 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 continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
20 Isin garuu Isa Qulqulluu sanaan dibamtaniirtu; isin hundis dhugaa ni beektu.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
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 do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because 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 the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he 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, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
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 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.
This is the promise which he promised us, the everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Ani waaʼee warra karaa irraa isin jalʼisuu yaalan sanaatiif waan kana isiniifin barreessa.
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
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.
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not 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 remain 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.
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed 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 know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
