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 children, I am writing this to you that you may not continue to sin; but if any one sin, we ever have a Comforter before the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.
2 Na Kristo no ankasa ne yɛn bɔne ho mpata na ɛnyɛ yɛn bɔne nko, na nnipa nyinaa bɔne.
And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
3 Sɛ yedi Onyankopɔn mmara so a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ yenim no.
This is how we may know that we have come to know Him, by always keeping 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 know Him," but does no continue obeying his commandments, is a liar,
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.
and the truth is not in him; bit if any man obey his word, in him truly is the love of God made perfect. By this we come to know that we are in him.
6 Na ɛsɛ sɛ nea ose ɔte ne mu no biara di Yesu Kristo anammɔn akyi.
By who says he "remains in him" ought to spend his life as he spent his.
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.
Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, nay, and old commandment, which you have had from the beginning. That old commandment is the message to which you have listened.
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.
Yet again it is a new commandment which I am writing to you, which is true in him and is you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
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 hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 Obiara a ɔdɔ ne nua no te hann mu, enti biribiara nni ne mu a ɛbɛma obi foforo ayɛ bɔne.
But he who loves his brother is abiding in the light, and in it there is no cause of stumbling.
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 is spending his life in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Me mma, merekyerɛw mo, efisɛ esiane Kristo din nti, wɔde mo bɔne akyɛ mo.
I am writing to you, little children, because you sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 Agyanom, merekyerɛw mo, efisɛ munim nea ɔte ase fi mfiase no. Mmabun, merekyerɛw mo, efisɛ moadi ɔbonsam so.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have fully overcome the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have learned to know the father.
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.
I have written to you, fathers, because you have learned to know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is abiding in you, and you have fully overcome the Evil 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 that are in the world. If any man 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 proud glory of life, is not from the Father, but from the world;
and the world and its lusts are passing away, but he who ever 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.
My children, this is the last hour, and as you have heard that an antichrist was coming, and now many antichrists are already risen, whence we may know that it is the last hour.
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 came forth from us, but they did not belong to us. If they had belonged to us they would certainly have remained with us, but they went out that they might be manifest that they all are not of us.
20 Mo de, Kristo ahwie Honhom Kronkron no agu mo so, enti mo nyinaa nim nokware no.
Now you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you 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 am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and know 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 the liar if not the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, even he who disowns 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, the same has not the Father; but he who confesses the Son has the Father also. As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you.
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.
If what you have heard from the beginning is abiding in you, you also will ever abide in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he has promised to us even life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Mekyerɛw mo fa wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔdaadaa mo no ho.
I have written this to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
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.
As to you, the unction you received from him remains ever in you, and you need no teaching from any one. But since his unction teaches you concerning all things and is true, and is no lie, abide continually in him, as it has taught you to do.
28 Me mma, montena ne mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a sɛ ɔba a, yebenya akokoduru na yɛmfa aniwu nkohintaw da a ɔbɛba no.
And now continue to abide in him, my children, so that when he shall appear we may have cheerful confidence and not be ashamed before 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 also that every one who habitually practises righteousness has been born of him.
