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 I write to you, that you may not sin. Yet if any one has sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Just One.
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 a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for 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 by this, we know that we have known 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 who says, I have known him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this man.
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 whoever keeps his word, truly in this man the love of God is perfected. By this we know 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 who 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 do not write a new commandment to you; but an old commandment, which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word, which 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.
On the other hand, I write to you a new commandment, which is true concerning him and concerning you. For the darkness is passing away, and the light, which is true, 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 who says he is in the light and yet hates his brother, is in the darkness till 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 who loves his brother, abides in the light, and there is no stumbling block to 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 who hates his brother, is in the darkness, and walks in that darkness, and does not know whither he goes; because the 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.
Little children, I write to you, because your sins are forgiven you, on account of his name.
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.
Fathers, I write to you, because you have known him from the beginning. Young men, I write to you, because you have overcome the wicked one.
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:
Fathers, I have written to you, because you have known him from the beginning. Young men, I have written to you, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and 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 which are in the world. If any one love the world, the love 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)
Now the world passes away, and the lust of it; be he who does the will of God, abides forever. (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.
Young children, it is the last period. And as you have heard that the antichrist comes, so, now, there are many antichrists; whence you know that it is the last period.
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 away from us, but they were not of us. For, if they had been of us, they would have abode with us; but they went away, that they might be made manifest that they were not 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 you have an unction from the Holy One, and 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 to you because you know not the truth, but because 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, if not he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who 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.
Whoever denies the Son, does not acknowledge the Father.
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.
Therefore, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you have heard from the beginning, abide in you; you also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father:
and this is the promise which he has promised to 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 I have written to you, concerning them who deceive 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 unction which you have received from him abides in you; and you have no need that any one should teach you, unless the same unction teaches you concerning all things, and is truth, and is no lie: and as it has taught you, you will 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 may not be put to shame by 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 you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who works righteousness, has been begotten by him.
