1 Johani 2 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

2 ¹Vana vangu vanodiwa, ndinonyora izvi kuti murege kutadza. Asi kana munhu akatadza, tine mumiririri pamberi paBaba—Jesu Kristu, iye akarurama. ²Iye pachake ndiye chibayiro chinoyananisira zvivi zvedu, kwete zvedu chete asi zvenyika yose. ^a a v2 Jesu ndiye chibayiro chinofukidza chivi chedu uye chinodzinga kutongwa — kwete kuvatendi chete, asi chakapiwa nokuda kwenyika yose. ³Nokuda kweizvi tinoziva kuti takasvika pakumuziva: kana tikachengeta mirayiro yake. ⁴Ani naani anoti, “Ndinomuziva,” asi asingachengeti mirayiro yake, murevi wenhema—chokwadi hachizi maari. ⁵Asi ani naani anochengeta shoko rake, rudo rwaBaba vedu rwakakwana zvechokwadi maari. Izvi ndizvo zvatinoziva nazvo kuti tiri maari: ⁶Ani naani anoti anogara maari anofanira kufamba sezvaakafamba iye.

⁷Vadiwa, handinyori kwamuri murayiro mutsva, asi wekare, wamakava nawo kubva pakutanga—murayiro wekare ishoko ramakanzwa. ⁸Zvakare, ndinonyora kwamuri murayiro mutsva—wechokwadi maari nomamuri—nokuti rima riri kupfuura uye chiedza chechokwadi chatovhenekera. ⁹Ani naani anoti ari muchiedza asi achivenga hama yake ari murima kunyange zvino. ¹⁰Ani naani anoda hama yake anogara muchiedza, uye maari hamuna chinomugumbusa. ¹¹Asi ani naani anovenga hama yake ari murima, achifamba murima, asingazivi kwaanoenda—rima rakapofumadza meso ake.

¹²Ndinonyora kwamuri, vana vaduku, nokuti zvivi zvenyu zvakakanganwirwa nokuda kwezita rake.

¹³Ndinonyora kwamuri, imi madzibaba, nokuti munoziva Iye akavapo kubva pakutanga. Ndinonyora kwamuri, imi majaya, nokuti makakunda akaipa.

¹⁴Vana, ndinonyora nokuti munoziva Baba. Madzibaba, ndinonyora nokuti munoziva Iye akavapo kubva pakutanga. Majaya, ndinonyora nokuti makasimba, uye shoko raBaba vedu rinogara mamuri, uye makakunda akaipa.

Musada Nyika

¹⁵Musada nyika, kana chinhu chipi zvacho chiri munyika. Ani naani anoda nyika, rudo rwaBaba haruzi maari. ¹⁶Zvinhu zvose zviri munyika—kuchiva kwenyama, kuchiva kwameso, nokuzvikudza kwoupenyu—hazvibvi kuna Baba asi kunyika. ¹⁷Nyika nokuchiva kwayo zviri kupfuura, asi ani naani anoita kuda kwaBaba vedu anogara nokusingaperi.

Chenjererai Vaya Vanoramba Mwanakomana

¹⁸Vana, inguva yokupedzisira. Sezvamakanzwa kuti andikristu ari kuuya, saizvozvi andikristu vazhinji vasvika; nokuda kweizvi tinoziva kuti inguva yokupedzisira. ^b b v18 “Andikristu” zvinoreva “anopesana na-” kana kuti “anotsiva” Kristu. Johani anoutsanangura somunhu upi zvake anoramba kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu (2:22); “vazhinji” vatosvika, vachimutswa “nomweya waandikristu” (4:3). ¹⁹Vakabuda kwatiri, asi vakanga vasiri vedu; dai vakanga vari vedu, vangadai vakaramba vanesu. Asi vakabva, kuti zviratidze kuti hakuna kana mumwe wavo akanga ari wedu. ²⁰Asi imi mune kuzodzwa kunobva kuna Mutsvene, uye imi mose munoziva chokwadi. ²¹Handinyori kwamuri nokuti hamuzivi chokwadi, asi nokuti munochiziva—uye hakuna nhema inobva kuchokwadi. ²²Ndiani murevi wenhema, kana asiri uya anoramba kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu? Uyu ndiye andikristu, anoramba Baba noMwanakomana. ²³Hakuna anoramba Mwanakomana ane Baba. Ani naani anopupura Mwanakomana ane Baba vakare.

²⁴Imi—zvamakanzwa kubva pakutanga ngazvigare mamuri. Kana zvamakanzwa kubva pakutanga zvikagara mamuri, nemiwo muchagara muMwanakomana nomuna Baba. ²⁵Uye ichi ndicho chipikirwa chaakatipikira iye pachake—upenyu husingaperi.

²⁶Ndinonyora zvinhu izvi kwamuri pamusoro paavo vari kuedza kukutsausai. ²⁷Kana murimi, kuzodzwa kwamakagamuchira kwaari kunogara mamuri, uye hamutsvaki munhu angakudzidzisai. Asi sezvo kuzodzwa kwake kuchikudzidzisai pamusoro pezvinhu zvose—chokwadi, kwete nhema—garai maari, sezvakakudzidzisai.

²⁸Zvino, vana vaduku, garai maari, kuti paanozviratidza tive nechivimbo uye tirege kutya pamberi pake tichinyara pakuuya kwake. ²⁹Kana muchiziva kuti akarurama, munozivawo kuti vose vanoita zvakarurama vakaberekwa naye.
