Johane I 2
1 Bananyana ba me, ke lo bolelela selo se gore lo tle lo ikgaphe mo boleong. Mme fa lo leofa, go na le mongwe go lo rapelela mo go Rara. Leina la gagwe ke Jesu Keresete, ene yo e leng mosiami ebile a itumedisa Modimo ka botlalo.
My little children, these things write I unto you, that all of you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 Ke ene yo o rweleng bogale jwa Modimo ka ntlha ya dibe tsa rona go re golola mo bogaleng jwa Modimo, a bo a re lere mo bolekaneng le Modimo, ebile ke boitshwarelo jwa dibe tsa rona, le gale e seng tsa rona fela, ebong tsa lefatshe lotlhe.
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 Mme re ka tlhomamisa jang gore re ba gagwe? Re ka tlhomamisa ka go sekaseka bokafateng jwa rona ra re: a tota re leka go dira se a batlang re se dira?
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Mongwe o ka re, “Ke Mokeresete; ke mo tseleng ya me go ya legodimong; ke wa ga Keresete.” Mme fa a sa dire se Keresete a mo rayang a re a se dire, ke moaki.
He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 Mme ba ba dirang se Keresete a se ba rayang gore ba se dire, ba tlaa nna ba rata Modimo thata. Ke yone tsela ya go itse gore a o Mokeresete kgotsa nnyaa.
But whoso keeps his word, (logos) in him verily is the love (agape) of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 Le fa e le mang yo a reng ke Mokeresete a tshele fela jaaka Keresete a ne a tshela.
He that says he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 Bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, ga ke lo kwalele taolo e ncha gore lo e obamele, gonne ke taolo e kgologolo e lo ntseng lo na nayo ka malatsi otlhe go tswa tshimologong. Lotlhe lo sale lo e utlwile pele.
Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which all of you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word (logos) which all of you have heard from the beginning.
8 Le fa go ntse jalo e ncha ka malatsi otlhe ebile e lo direla fela jaaka e ne e direla Keresete; mme fa re obamela taolo e, ebong go ratana, lefifi le a nyelela mo matshelong a rona, mme mo go rona go pha-tsime lesedi le lesha la botshelo la ga Keresete.
Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shines.
9 Le fa e le mang yo o reng o tsamaya mo leseding la ga Keresete mme a ila Mokeresete ka ene o santse a le mo lefifing.
He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 Mme le fa e le mang yo o ratang Mokeresete ka ene o “tsamaya mo leseding” ebile o ka bona tsela ya gagwe a sa kgopiwe mo lefifing le mo boleong.
He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11 Gonne yo o ilang Mokeresete ka ene otsamaya mo lefifing la semowa ebile ga a itse kwa a yang teng, gonne lefifi le mo foufaditse gore a seka a bona tsela.
But he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Ke lo kwalela dilo tse lotlhe, bananyana ba me, gonne lo itshwaretswe dibe mo leineng la ga Jesu Mmoloki wa rona.
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 Ke lo kwalela dilo tse lona ba lo godileng gonne ruri lo itse Keresete, ene yo o ntseng a tshedile go tswa tshimologong. Mme lona makau, ke bua le lona gonne lo fentse ntwa ya ga Satane. Gape ke kwalela lona basimanyana le lona basetsanyana gonne le lona lo ithutile go itse Modimo Rraa-rona.
I write unto you, fathers, because all of you have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because all of you have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because all of you have known the Father.
14 Mme lona borrabana ba lo itseng Modimo wa bosakhutleng, le lona makawana a a nonofileng, ka Lefoko la Modimo mo dipelong tsa lona, ebile lo fentse ntwa ya ga Satane, ke lo raya ke re:
I have written unto you, fathers, because all of you have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because all of you are strong, and the word (logos) of God abides in you, and all of you have overcome the wicked one.
15 khutlisang go rata lefatshe leno le le bosula, le gotlhe mo le go lo neelang, gonne fa lo rata dilo tse, lo supa tota gore ammaaruri ga lo rate Modimo;
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love (agape) of the Father is not in him.
16 gonne dilo tse tsotlhe tsa lefatshe, dikeletso tse di bosula tse, dikeletso tsa boaka, kgatlhego ya go reka sengwe le sengwe se se gapang maikutlo a gago, le boikgodiso jo bo dirwang ke khumo le go tlotlega, dilo tse ga di tswe kwa Modimong. Ditswa mo lefatsheng leno le le bosula.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 Mme lefatshe leno le a fela, mme dilo tse di bosula tse di idiwang tse di tlaa fela le lone, mme le fa e le mang yo o tswelelang a dira go rata ga Modimo o tlaa tshelela ruri. (aiōn g165)
And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Bana ba me ba ba rategang, nako ya bofelo ya lefatshe leno e setse e tsile. Lo utlwile ka Moganetsa Keresete yo o tlang, ene yo o tlhabantshang Keresete, le gompieno batho ba le bantsi ba ba ntseng jaana ba setse ba tsile. Tiragalo e, e re dira gore re tlhomamise tota gore bokhutlo jwa lefatshe bo atametse.
Little children, it is the last time: and as all of you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 Batho ba ba tlhabantshang Keresete ba, e kile ya ne e le maloko a diphuthego tsa rona, mme tota e ne e se ba rona, gonne fa go ne go ntse jalo ba ka bo ba sa lomologa mo go rona. E rile ba lomologa mo go rona, ga supa sentle gore e ne e se ba rona gotlhelele.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 Mme lona ga lo a nna jalo, gonne Mowa O O Boitshepo o tsile mo go lona, ebile lo itse boammaaruri.
But all of you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know all things.
21 Jalo ga ke lo kwalele jaaka ekete ke kwalela batho ba ba tlhokang go itse boammaaruri, mme ke lo kgalemela lo le ba lo itseng go lemoga pharologanyo fa gare ga boammaaruri le mmaaka.
I have not written unto you because all of you know not the truth, but because all of you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Ana moaki yo mogolo ke mang? Ke yo o reng Jesu ga se Keresete. Motho yo o ntseng jalo ke moganetsa-Keresete, gonne ga a dumele mo go Modimo Rara le mo go Morwaone.
Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son.
23 Gonne motho yo o sa dumeleng mo go Keresete, Morwa Modimo, ga a kake a dumela le mo Modimong. Mme yo o nang le Keresete Morwa Modimo, o na le One Modimo Rara.
Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 Jalo nnang lo dumele se lo se rutilweng go tswa tshimologong. Fa lo dira jalo, lo tlaa aga lo le mo bolekaneng jo bo nitameng thata le Modimo Rara le Morwaone.
Let that therefore abide in you, which all of you have heard from the beginning. If that which all of you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, all of you also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Dilo tse ke di buang tse ka moganetsa-Keresete di raya fela ba ba tlaa ratang go lo dira difofu ba bo ba lo timetsa.
These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27 Mme lo amogetse Mowa O O Boitshepo ebile o nna mo go lona, mo dipelong tsa lona, gore lo seka lwa tlhokana le ope go lo ruta se se siameng. Gonne o lo ruta dilo tsotlhe, ebile o Boammaaruri, ga se moaki; mme fela jaaka a buile, lo tshwanetse go nna mo go Keresete, lo sa kgaogane nae.
But the anointing which all of you have received of him abides in you, and all of you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, all of you shall abide in him.
28 Mme jaanong bananyana ba me, nnang mo bolekaneng jwa boitumelo le Morena gore e re fa a tla lo bo lo tlhomamisa gore gotlhe go siame, mme ga re na go tlhajwa ke ditlhong re bo re boela kwa morago fa re tshwanetse go mo kgatlhantsha.
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 E re ka re itse gore Modimo o siame ka malatsi otlhe o bile o dira fela se se siameng, re ka tseela fela gore botlhe ba ba dirang tshiamo ke bana ba One.
If all of you know that he is righteous, all of you know that every one that does righteousness is born of him.
