1 Yohane 2
1 Me mma, merekyerɛw eyi abrɛ mo na moanyɛ bɔne; na sɛ obi yɛ bɔne a, yɛwɔ Yesu Kristo ɔtreneeni no a ɔsrɛ wɔ Agya no hɔ ma yɛn.
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 Na Kristo no ankasa ne yɛn bɔne ho mpata na ɛnyɛ yɛn bɔne nko, na nnipa nyinaa bɔne.
And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 Sɛ yedi Onyankopɔn mmara so a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ yenim no.
And by this, we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Sɛ obi ka se, “Minim no,” nanso onni ne mmara so a, saa onipa no yɛ ɔtorofo a nokware nni ne mu.
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 Na sɛ obi tie nʼasɛm a, na nokware dɔ a ɔde dɔ Onyankopɔn no wie pɛyɛ wɔ ne mu. Eyi na ɛma yehu sɛ yɛte ne mu.
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 Na ɛsɛ sɛ nea ose ɔte ne mu no biara di Yesu Kristo anammɔn akyi.
He who says he abides in him, ought, himself, also, so to walk even as he walked.
7 Anuanom, saa mmara a merekyerɛw abrɛ mo yi nyɛ asɛm foforo. Ɛyɛ mmara dedaw a moate fi mfiase pɛɛ no. Mmara dedaw no yɛ ade a moate ho asɛm dedaw.
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 Nanso mmara a merekyerɛw abrɛ mo yi yɛ foforo na mu nokware no da adi wɔ Kristo ne mo mu. Sum no retwa mu na hann papa no gu so rehyerɛn.
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 Obiara a ɔka se ɔwɔ hann no mu, nanso ɔtan ne nua no wɔ sum mu besi saa dɔnhwerew yi mu.
He who says he is in the light and yet hates his brother, is in the darkness till now.
10 Obiara a ɔdɔ ne nua no te hann mu, enti biribiara nni ne mu a ɛbɛma obi foforo ayɛ bɔne.
He who loves his brother, abides in the light, and there is no stumbling block to him.
11 Nanso obiara a ɔtan ne nua no te sum mu. Ɔnam mu a onnim faako a ɔrekɔ, efisɛ sum no afura nʼani.
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 Me mma, merekyerɛw mo, efisɛ esiane Kristo din nti, wɔde mo bɔne akyɛ mo.
Little children, I write to you, because your sins are forgiven you, on account of his name.
13 Agyanom, merekyerɛw mo, efisɛ munim nea ɔte ase fi mfiase no. Mmabun, merekyerɛw mo, efisɛ moadi ɔbonsam so.
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 Mma, merekyerɛw mo, efisɛ munim Agya no. Agyanom, merekyerɛw mo, efisɛ munim nea ɔte ase fi mfiase no. Mmabun, merekyerɛw mo, efisɛ mowɔ ahoɔden. Onyankopɔn asɛm no te mo mu na moadi ɔbonsam so.
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 Monnnɔ wiase anaasɛ biribiara a ɛyɛ wiase de. Sɛ modɔ wiase a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ monnnɔ Agya a ɔwɔ mo mu no.
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 Biribiara a ɛyɛ wiase de; ɔhonam akɔnnɔ, nea nnipa hu na wɔn kɔn dɔ, biribiara a ɛwɔ wiase a nnipa hoahoa wɔn ho wɔ ho no, mu biara mfi Agya no. Ne nyinaa fi wiase.
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.
Now the world passes away, and the lust of it; be he who does the will of God, abides forever. (aiōn g165)
18 Me mma, awiei no abɛn. Wɔka kyerɛɛ mo se Kristo Tamfo no bɛba, nanso mprempren, Kristo atamfo bebree ada wɔn ho adi, enti yɛahu sɛ ampa awiei no abɛn.
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 Nokware, na saa nnipa yi nka yɛn ho na ɛno nti na wogyaw yɛn hɔ no. Na sɛ wɔka yɛn ho a, anka wɔne yɛn tenae. Nanso wogyaw yɛn hɔ, sɛnea wubehu no pefee sɛ wɔnka yɛn ho.
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 Mo de, Kristo ahwie Honhom Kronkron no agu mo so, enti mo nyinaa nim nokware no.
But you have an unction from the Holy One, and know all things.
21 Ɛnyɛ sɛ munnim nokware no nti na makyerɛw saa krataa yi, na mmom munim na munim nso sɛ, atoro biara mfi nokware mu mma.
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 Afei hena ne ɔtorofo? Ɛyɛ obi a ɔka se Yesu nyɛ Kristo no. Oyi ne Kristo tamfo. Ɔpo Agya no ne Ɔba no nyinaa.
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 Obiara nni hɔ a ɔpo Ɔba no na ɔwɔ Agya no; nea ogye Ɔba no to mu biara wɔ Agya no nso.
Whoever denies the Son, does not acknowledge the Father.
24 Mommɔ mmɔden mfa asɛm a motee mfiase no nsie mo koma mu. Sɛ mode asɛm a motee mfiase no sie a, mo ne Ɔba no ne Agya no benya ayɔnkofa.
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 Mekyerɛw mo fa wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔdaadaa mo no ho.
These things I have written to you, concerning them who deceive you;
27 Na mo de, Kristo ahwie ne Honhom Kronkron no agu mo so. Mmere dodow a ne Honhom no te mo mu no, ɛho nhia sɛ obi foforo bɛkyerɛkyerɛ mo. Efisɛ ne Honhom no kyerɛkyerɛ mo biribiara. Na nea ɔkyerɛ no nso yɛ nokware; ɛnyɛ atoro. Muntie Kristo nkyerɛkyerɛ no na montena ne mu.
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 Me mma, montena ne mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a sɛ ɔba a, yebenya akokoduru na yɛmfa aniwu nkohintaw da a ɔbɛba no.
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 Munim sɛ Kristo yɛ ɔtreneeni. Na ɛsɛ sɛ muhu sɛ obiara a ɔyɛ ade trenee no yɛ Onyankopɔn ba.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who works righteousness, has been begotten by him.
