1 Yohani 2
1 Wana wangu yanuwafira, nuwalembera vitwatira avi su namtenda vidoda. Kumbiti muntu pakatenda vidoda, twanayu ulii yakatuteteya kwa Tati, Yesu Kristu yakamfiriziya Mlungu.
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 Yomberi ndo tambiku yayilaviwitwi kulekiziya vidoda vyetu, vidoda vyetu hera ndiri kumbiti na kulekiziya viraa vidoda vya wantu woseri wa pasipanu.
He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 Twenga twana unakaka kuwera tumumana Mlungu handa patugajimira malagaliru gakuwi.
By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
4 Muntu pakatakula kuwera kamumana Mlungu, uganu kagajimira ndiri malagaliru gakuwi, muntu ayu kawera na upayira na unakaka kwahera mngati mwakuwi,
If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 Kumbiti muntu yoseri yakashijimira shisoweru sha Mlungu, ufiru wa Mlungu uwera teratera nakamu mngati mwakuwi. Ayi ndo ntambu yatuvimana nakaka kuwera tuwera mngati mwakuwi.
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 Muntu yoseri yakatakula kuwera kalikolerana pamuhera na Mlungu, kafiruwa kulikala gambira Yesu Kristu ntambu yakalikaliti.
Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.
7 Waganja wangu, lilagaliru ali lyanuwalembera lyasyayi ndiri, kumbiti ndo lilagaliru liraa lilii ligona lyamuweriti nalu kwanjira kwanja. Lilagaliru ali ligona ndo ujumbi ulii wampikaniriti.
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 Pamuhera na hangu, nankuwalembera lilagaliru lyasyayi na unakaka wakuwi woneka kwa yomberi na mngati mwenu, toziya luwindu lyankupita na ulangala ulii wa nakaka wanja kala kulangala.
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 Muntu yoseri yakatakula kuwera kamuulangala, uganu kankumkalalira mlongu gwaku, muntu ayu kankali muluwindu.
If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.
10 Muntu yoseri yakamfira mlongu gwakuwi, kankulikala muulangala na kwahera shintu shoseri mngati mwakuwi shakumtenda muntu gwingi katendi vidoda.
Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him.
11 Kumbiti muntu yakamkalalira mlongu gwakuwi kankulikala na kankutyanga muluwindu na kavimana ndiri kwakagenda, toziya luwindu limtenda lwisi.
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 Nuwalembera mwenga wana, toziya vidoda vyenu vilekiziwa kwa litawu lya Kristu.
I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.
13 Nuwalembireni mwenga ashina tati, toziya mumumana Kristu yakaweriti kwanjira kwanja. Nuwalembera mwenga wantemba, toziya mumkanka Mkondola ulii.
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 Nuwalembera mwenga wana toziya mumumana Tati. Nuwalembera mwenga ashina tati toziya mumumana Kristu ndo yakaweriti kwanjira kwanja. Nuwalembera mwenga wantemba toziya muwera na makakala na shisoweru sha Mlungu shilikala mungati mwenu na mumkanka Mkondola ulii.
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 Namupafira pasipanu, ama shoseri shashiwera mupasipanu. Muntu yakapafira pasipanu, ufira wa Tati kwahera mngati mwakuwi.
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 Toziya kila shintu shashiwera mupasipanu, matamata zidoda zya nshimba, matamata zidoda zya masu, msindu gwagujegwa na ulunda, vyoseri avi vilawa ndiri kwa Tati, kumbiti vilawa mupasipanu.
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 Pasipanu pamuhera na matamata zoseri zyaziwera mngati mwakuwi vyankupita, kumbiti muntu yakatenda mafiliru ga Mlungu, yomberi kankulikala mashaka goseri. (aiōn g165)
The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever. (aiōn g165)
18 Wana wangu, ashi ndo shipindi sha upeleru. Ntambu yampikaniriti kuwera Mngondu gwa Kristu kankwiza, su wangondu wa Kristu wasoka kala. Toziya ayi twenga tuvimana kuwera shipindi sha upeleru shapakwegera.
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 Womberi walawiti kwa twenga, kumbiti waweriti ndiri nakaka watwenga. Toziya mewaweri watwenga mewalikali na twenga, kumbiti kulawa kwawu kulanguziyiti kuwera kwahera ata yumu gwawu yakaweriti gwa twenga.
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 Kumbiti mwenga muwanka Rohu Mnanagala kulawa kwa Kristu, na mwenga mwawoseri muwumana unakaka.
You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
21 Su nuwalembera ndiri toziya muwumana ndiri unakaka, kumbiti muwumana na mwenga muvimana kuwera kwahera upayira woseri yawulawiti muwunakaka.
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 Gaa yakawera mpayu? Mpayu ndo ulii yakalema kuwera Yesu ndo Kristu ndiri. Muntu gwa ntambu ayi kawera mngondu gwa Kristu, toziya kankumlema Tati na Mwana.
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 Toziya muntu yoseri yakamlema Mwana, kamlema Tati viraa na muntu yoseri yakamjimira Mwana, su kamjimira na Tati viraa.
Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
24 Muloli weri kuwera shilii shampikiniriti kwanjira kwanja na shilikali mumyoyu mwenu. Handa ujumbi awu yamuwupikaniriti kwanjira kwanja paukala mngati mwenu, su mulikala mashaka goseri mukulikolerana na Mwana na Tati.
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.
25 Na Kristu mweni katupananiti lagilu lyakatugambiriti twenga kuwera hakatupanani ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Nuwalembera vitwatira avi kuusu wantu walii yawajera kuwapotuziya.
I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
27 Kumbiti mwenga mumwankiti Rohu Mnanagala kulawa kwa Kristu, kalikala mngati mwenu. Na Rohu ayu ntambu yakalikala mngati mwenu, mufiriziwa ndiri kufundwa na muntu yoseri. Toziya Rohu gwakuwi kankuwafunda vitwatira vyoseri na mafundu gakuwi ndo ganakaka, gapayira ndiri. Su mugakoli mafundu ga Rohu ayu na musigali kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu.
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 Mwawana yanuwafira, mwendereyi kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu, su yomberi pakalawira twenga tuweri na ugangamala pota kuwera na toziya ya twenga kulififa kwa soni lishaka lya kwiza kwakuwi.
And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
29 Muvimana kuwera Kristu kamfiriziya nentu Mlungu, su mfiruwa kuvimana viraa kuwera kila muntu yakamfiriziya Mlungu, kawera mwana gwa Mlungu.
If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.
