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.
See what great love the Father has lavished upon us, that we should be called children of God! The reason the world does not know you is that it did not know 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 we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when he appears, we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.
3 Nipele, jwalijose jwakulolela kwawona Kilisito aliswejesye, mpela ila Kilisito nsyene yatite kuswejela.
Everyone who places this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.
4 Mundu jwalijose jwakutenda sambi ngakulikamulisya lilajisyo lya Akunnungu, pakuŵa kutenda sambi kuli kuleka kukamulisya lilajisyo.
Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
5 Nkumanyilila kuti Kilisito ŵaiche kuti asityosye sambi syetu, nombewo nganakola sambi syasili syose.
But you know that he appeared in order to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin.
6 Kwayele mundu jwalumbikene ni Kilisito ngakwendelechela kutendekanya sambi. Nambo jwakwendelechela kutendekanya sambi nganaŵe kwawona ŵelewo atamuno kwamanyilila.
No one who abides in him continues in sin; no one who continues in sin has either seen him or known him.
7 Achiŵanangu, mundu jwalijose ngasanlyungasya. Mundu jwakutenda ipanganyo yambone, mundu jo akwanonyelesya Akunnungu mpela ila Kilisito yatite kwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices 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.
Whoever practices sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.
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.
No one who has been born of God continues in sin, because God's seed abides in him; he cannot continue in sin, because he has been born of God.
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.
By this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
11 Pakuŵa ngani jimwajipikene chitandile kundanda ni aji: Tunonyelane jwine ni jwine.
For this is the message you have heard from the beginning, that we should love 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.
We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil, but the deeds of his brother were righteous.
13 Achalongo achinjangu nkasimonga naga ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pa akunchima.
Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates 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 from death to life because we love our brothers. Whoever does not love his brother abides in death.
15 Mundu jwalijose jwakunchima njakwe ali jwauulasi ni ŵanyamwe nkwimanyilila, jwauulasi nganakola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi munkati mwakwe. (aiōnios g166)
Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. (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.
By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
17 Nambo mundu akolaga chipanje cha pachilambo, ni kummona mpwakwe akwete yaikwasoŵa, nombejo ngakwakolela chanasa, ana mundu jo akukombola chinauli kusala akwanonyela Akunnungu?
If anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need but closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?
18 Achiŵanangu, tuleche kwanonyela ŵandu kwa maloŵe pe, nambo twanonyele kwa kwalosya isambo.
My little children, let us not love in word or speech, but in deed and truth.
19 Yeleyi ni yatukuti pakumanyilila kuti uweji tuli ŵa usyene ni mitima jetu nganijikola lipamba paujo pa Akunnungu.
By this we know that we are of the truth and can reassure our hearts before him:
20 Pakuŵa atamuno mitima jetu ngajikutulamula kuti tuleŵile, tukwimanyilila kuti Akunnungu ali jwankulu kujipunda mitima jetu, nombeŵo akwimanyilila indu yose.
If our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.
21 Achambusanga ŵangu naga mitima jetu ngajikutulamula kuti tuleŵile, nipele nganitukola lipamba paujo pa Akunnungu.
Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God
22 Ni chilichose chatukuŵenda kukwao tukupochela, pakuŵa tukwitichisya malajisyo gao ni kuipanganya yaikwanonyelesya.
and receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what is pleasing in his sight.
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 believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he commanded.
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.
Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God abides in him. And we know that he abides in us because of the Spirit he has given us.
