1 Yohana 3
1 Nnole yatite kutunonyela Atati, mpaka tukuŵilanjikwa ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, noweji ni yatuli. Kwaligongo lyo ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pa ngaakutumanyilila, pakuŵa nganiŵamanyilila Akunnungu.
Behold, what manner of love, the Father hath bestowed upon us—that, children of God, we should be called, —and such we are! Therefore, the world understandeth us not, because it understood not him.
2 Achambusanga ŵangu, sambano uweji tuli ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, nambo nginiŵe kumanyika chituŵe ŵanti uli. Nambo tukwimanyilila yakuti pachachiika Kilisito, chitulandane nawo pakuŵa chitwawone uŵele waali nawo.
Beloved! now, are we, children of God; and, not yet, hath it been made manifest, what we shall be, —We know that, if it should be made manifest, like unto him, shall we be, because we shall see him, just as he is.
3 Nipele, jwalijose jwakulolela kwawona Kilisito aliswejesye, mpela ila Kilisito nsyene yatite kuswejela.
And, whosoever hath this hope on him, is purifying himself, just as, He, is pure.
4 Mundu jwalijose jwakutenda sambi ngakulikamulisya lilajisyo lya Akunnungu, pakuŵa kutenda sambi kuli kuleka kukamulisya lilajisyo.
Whosoever is committing sin, lawlessness also, is committing, and, sin, is, lawlessness;
5 Nkumanyilila kuti Kilisito ŵaiche kuti asityosye sambi syetu, nombewo nganakola sambi syasili syose.
And ye know, that, He, was made manifest—in order that, our sins, he should take away, and, sin, in him, is there none.
6 Kwayele mundu jwalumbikene ni Kilisito ngakwendelechela kutendekanya sambi. Nambo jwakwendelechela kutendekanya sambi nganaŵe kwawona ŵelewo atamuno kwamanyilila.
Whosoever, in him, doth abide, is not sinning: whosoever is sinning, hath not seen him, and doth not understand him.
7 Achiŵanangu, mundu jwalijose ngasanlyungasya. Mundu jwakutenda ipanganyo yambone, mundu jo akwanonyelesya Akunnungu mpela ila Kilisito yatite kwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
Dear children! Let, no one, lead you astray! He that is doing righteousness, is, righteous, just as, He, is righteous:
8 Mundu jwalijose jwakwendelechela kutendekanya sambi jwelejo ali jwa Shetani, pakuŵa Shetani atesile sambi chitandile kundanda. Kwa ligongo li, Mwana jwa Akunnungu ŵaiche pachilambo kukugajonanga masengo ga Shetani.
He that is committing sin, is, of the adversary, because, from the beginning, the adversary is sinning. To this end, was the Son of God made manifest, in order that he might undo the works of the adversary.
9 Mundu jwalijose jwaali mwanache jwa Akunnungu ngakwendelechela kutendekanya sambi, pakuŵa umi wa Akunnungu ukutama munkati mwakwe, kwapele ngaakukombola kuendelechela kutendekanya sambi ligongo Akunnungu ali Atati ŵao.
Whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing, sin, because, a seed of him, within him, abideth; and he cannot be committing sin, because, of God, hath he been born.
10 Mundu jwalijose jwangakupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, pane jwangakunnonyela nlongo njakwe, jwelejo nganaŵa mwanache jwa Akunnungu. Yele ni yakuti pakumanyika ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu ni ŵanache ŵa Shetani.
Herein, are, manifest, the children of God, and the children of the adversary: Whoever is not doing righteousness, is not of God, nor yet he that is not loving his brother.
11 Pakuŵa ngani jimwajipikene chitandile kundanda ni aji: Tunonyelane jwine ni jwine.
Because, this, is the message which ye have heard from the beginning—that we should be loving one another, —
12 Tukaŵa mpela che Kaini juŵalongweswe ni Shetani ni kumbulaga che Abeli mpwakwe. Kwa chichi ŵammuleje? Ligongo ipanganyo yao yaliji yangalumbana ni mpwakwe ŵaliji ni ipanganyo yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
Not just as, Cain, was, of the wicked one, and slew his brother! And, for what cause, slew he him? Because, his works, were, wicked, whereas, those of his brother, were, righteous.
13 Achalongo achinjangu nkasimonga naga ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pa akunchima.
Be not marveling, brethren, if, the world, is hating you:
14 Uweji tukwimanyilila yakuti tupitile kutyochela mu chiwa ni kwinjila mu umi, pakuŵa tukwanonyela achalongo achinjetu. Mundu jwanganakola unonyelo akutama mmachili ga chiwa.
We, know, that we have passed over out of death into life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not, abideth in death.
15 Mundu jwalijose jwakunchima njakwe ali jwauulasi ni ŵanyamwe nkwimanyilila, jwauulasi nganakola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi munkati mwakwe. (aiōnios g166)
Whosoever is hating his brother, is, a murderer; and ye know that, no murderer, hath life age-during, within him abiding. (aiōnios g166)
16 Yeleyi ni yatukuti pakuumanyilila unonyelo yauli, pakuŵa Kilisito ŵautyosisye umi wao kwa ligongo lyetu. Noweji tukuŵajilwa kuutyosya umi wetu kwaligongo lya kwakamuchisya achalongo achinjetu.
Hereby, have we come to understand love: in that, He, for us, his life laid down; and, we, ought, for the brethren, our lives to lay down.
17 Nambo mundu akolaga chipanje cha pachilambo, ni kummona mpwakwe akwete yaikwasoŵa, nombejo ngakwakolela chanasa, ana mundu jo akukombola chinauli kusala akwanonyela Akunnungu?
But, whoso hath this world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother having, need, and shutteth up his tender affections from him, how, is, the love of God, abiding in him?
18 Achiŵanangu, tuleche kwanonyela ŵandu kwa maloŵe pe, nambo twanonyele kwa kwalosya isambo.
Dear children! Let us not be loving in word, nor yet with the tongue, but in deed and truth.
19 Yeleyi ni yatukuti pakumanyilila kuti uweji tuli ŵa usyene ni mitima jetu nganijikola lipamba paujo pa Akunnungu.
Hereby, shall we get to know, that, of the truth, we are, and, before him, shall persuade our heart;
20 Pakuŵa atamuno mitima jetu ngajikutulamula kuti tuleŵile, tukwimanyilila kuti Akunnungu ali jwankulu kujipunda mitima jetu, nombeŵo akwimanyilila indu yose.
Because, if our own heart condemn us, greater, is God, than our heart, and perceiveth all things.
21 Achambusanga ŵangu naga mitima jetu ngajikutulamula kuti tuleŵile, nipele nganitukola lipamba paujo pa Akunnungu.
Beloved! if our heart be not condemning us, boldness, have we, towards God;
22 Ni chilichose chatukuŵenda kukwao tukupochela, pakuŵa tukwitichisya malajisyo gao ni kuipanganya yaikwanonyelesya.
And, whatsoever we are asking, we are receiving from him, because, his commandments, are we keeping, and, the things that are pleasing before him, are we doing.
23 Ni lilajisyo lyao lili lyeleli, tulikulupilile lina lya Che Yesu Kilisito, Mwanagwe ni kunonyelana jwine ni jwine mpela yatite pakutulajisya.
And, this, is his commandment, —that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and be loving one another—just as he gave a commandment unto us.
24 Ŵandu wose ŵakwitichisya malajisyo ga Akunnungu, akutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu ni Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni ŵandu wo. Tukumanyilila yeleyo kuti Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni uwe kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwatupele.
And, he that keepeth his commandments, in him, abideth, and, he, in him. And, hereby, perceive we, that he abideth in us, by reason of the Spirit which, unto us, he hath given.
