1 John 2
1 Ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi ọ̀wọ́n, mo kọ ìwé nǹkan wọ̀nyí sí yín, kí ẹ̀yin má bà á dẹ́ṣẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá sì dẹ́ṣẹ̀, àwa ni alágbàwí lọ́dọ̀ Baba: Jesu Kristi, olódodo nìkan.
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 Òun sì ní ètùtù fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa, kì í tilẹ̀ ṣe fún tiwa nìkan ṣùgbọ́n fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ gbogbo aráyé.
and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 Àwa mọ̀ pé àwa ti wá mọ̀ ọ́n, bí àwa bá ń pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́.
And hereby know we that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Ẹni tí ó bá wí pé, “Èmi mọ̀ ọ́n,” tí kò sì pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́, èké ni, òtítọ́ kò sì ṣí nínú rẹ̀.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him:
5 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́, lára rẹ̀ ni a gbé mú ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run pé nítòótọ́. Nípa èyí ni àwa mọ̀ pé àwa ń wà nínú rẹ̀.
but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby know we that we are in him:
6 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wí pé òun ń gbé inú rẹ̀, òun náà pẹ̀lú sì yẹ láti máa rìn gẹ́gẹ́ bí Jesu ti rìn.
he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
7 Ẹ̀yin olùfẹ́ ọ̀wọ́n, kì í ṣe òfin tuntun ni mo ń kọ̀wé rẹ̀ sí yín ṣùgbọ́n òfin àtijọ́, èyí tí ẹ̀yin tí gbọ́ ní àtètèkọ́ṣe. Òfin àtijọ́ ni ọ̀rọ̀ náà tí ẹ̀yin tí gbọ́.
Beloved, no new commandment write I unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye heard.
8 Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, òfin tuntun ni mo ń kọ̀wé rẹ̀ sí yín; èyí tí í ṣe òtítọ́ nínú rẹ̀ àti nínú yin, nítorí òkùnkùn ń kọjá lọ, ìmọ́lẹ̀ òtítọ́ sì tí ń tàn.
Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth.
9 Ẹni tí ó bá sì wí pé òun ń wà nínú ìmọ́lẹ̀, tí ó sì kórìíra arákùnrin rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ nínú òkùnkùn.
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
10 Ẹni tí ó ba fẹ́ràn arákùnrin rẹ̀, ó ń gbé inú ìmọ́lẹ̀, kò sì ṣí ohun ìkọ̀sẹ̀ kan nínú rẹ̀.
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí o bá kórìíra arákùnrin rẹ̀ ń gbé nínú òkùnkùn, ó sì ń rìn nínú òkùnkùn; kò sì mọ ibi tí òun ń lọ, nítorí tí òkùnkùn tí fọ́ ọ lójú.
But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 Èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín, ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi ọ̀wọ́n, nítorí tí a darí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín jì yín nítorí orúkọ rẹ̀.
I write unto you, [my] little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 Èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín, ẹ̀yin baba, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin tí mọ ẹni tí ó wà ní àtètèkọ́ṣe, Èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín, ẹ̀yin ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin ti ṣẹ́gun ẹni ibi náà.
I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him which is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father.
14 Èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín, ẹ̀yin ọmọdé mi ọ̀wọ́n, nítorí ẹ̀yin ti mọ Baba. Èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín, ẹ̀yin baba, nítorí ti ẹ̀yin tí mọ ẹni tí o wà ni àtètèkọ́ṣe. Èmi ń kọ̀wé sí yín, ẹ̀yin ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin ni agbára, tí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run sì ń gbé nínú yín, tí ẹ sì ṣẹ́gun ẹni ibi náà.
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye know him which is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one.
15 Ẹ má ṣe fẹ́ràn ayé tàbí ohunkóhun tí ń bẹ nínú ayé. Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fẹ́ràn ayé, ìfẹ́ tí Baba kò sí nínú rẹ̀.
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 Nítorí ohun gbogbo tí ń bẹ nínú ayé: ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ti ara, ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ti ojú, àti ìgbéraga ti ohun ti ó ní àti ohun tí ó ṣe kò wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba bí kò ṣe láti ọwọ́ ayé.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 Ayé sì ń kọjá lọ àti ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó ba ń ṣe ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run ni yóò wà títí láéláé. (aiōn g165)
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi ọ̀wọ́n, ìgbà ìkẹyìn ni èyí; bí ẹ̀yin sì tí gbọ́ pé aṣòdì sí Kristi ń bọ̀ wá, àní nísinsin yìí, púpọ̀ aṣòdì sí Kristi ló ń bẹ. Nípa èyí ni àwa fi mọ́ pé ìgbà ìkẹyìn ni èyí.
Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.
19 Wọ́n ti ọ̀dọ̀ wá jáde, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kì í ṣe ara wa. Nítorí bí wọ́n bá jẹ́ ara wa, wọn ìbá bá wa dúró, ṣùgbọ́n jíjáde lọ wọn fihàn pé gbogbo wọn kì í ṣe ara wa.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest how that they all are not of us.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ní ìfòróróyàn láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ wá, gbogbo yín sì mọ òtítọ́.
And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 Èmi kò kọ̀wé sí yín nítorí pé ẹ̀yin kò mọ òtítọ́, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí tí ẹ̀yin mọ̀ ọ́n, àti pé kò sí èké nínú òtítọ́.
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Ta ni èké? Ẹni tí ó sẹ́ pé Jesu kì í ṣe Kristi. Eléyìí ni Aṣòdì sí Kristi, ẹni tí ó sẹ́ Baba àti Ọmọ.
Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, [even] he that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí o ba sẹ́ Ọmọ, kò gba Baba; ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó ba jẹ́wọ́ Ọmọ, ó gba Baba pẹ̀lú.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Ẹ jẹ́ kí èyí tí ẹ tí gbọ́ ni àtètèkọ́ṣe máa gbé inú yín. Bí èyí tí ẹ̀yin tí gbọ́ ní àtètèkọ́ṣe bá ń gbé inú yín, ẹ̀yin ó sì dúró nínú Ọmọ àti nínú Baba.
As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he promised us, [even] the life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni mo kọ̀wé sí yín ní ti àwọn tí wọ́n fẹ́ ẹ mú yín ṣìnà.
These things have I written unto you concerning them that would lead you astray.
27 Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti ìfòróróyàn tí ẹ̀yín gba lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ ṣì ń gbé inú yín, ẹ̀yin kò tún nílò pé kí ẹnìkan kọ yín. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìfòróróyàn náà ti ń kọ́ yín ní ohun gbogbo tí ó jẹ́ òtítọ́, tí kì í sì í ṣe èké, àní gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó sì ti kọ́ yín, ẹ máa gbé inú rẹ̀.
And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him.
28 Àti nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi ọ̀wọ́n, ẹ máa gbé inú rẹ̀, pé nígbà tí òun ó bá farahàn, kí a lè ni ìgboyà níwájú rẹ̀, kí ojú má sì tì wá níwájú rẹ̀ ni ìgbà wíwá rẹ̀.
And now, [my] little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 Bí ẹ̀yin ba mọ̀ pé olódodo ni òun, ẹ mọ̀ pé a bí olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ń ṣe òdodo nípa rẹ̀.
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him.
