1 Yohana 1
1 Tukunlembela ŵanyamwe utenga wa Ngani ja ajula jwakuŵilanjikwa Liloŵe jwakwikanawo umi, juŵapali chitandile kundanda. Uwe twampikene ni kumbona kwa meeso getu twachinsyene, twammweni ni kunkwaya kwa makono getu twachinsyene.
THAT which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled of the word of life;
2 Jwele jwakwikanawo umi wo paŵaiche, twammweni, noweji tukuŵalanga umboni ni kunlalichila ŵanyamwe nkati umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Jwelejo ŵaliji kwa Atati ni sambano atukopochele uweji. (aiōnios g166)
(for the life was manifested, and we have beheld it, and bear testimony, and declare unto you that life eternal, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us; ) (aiōnios g166)
3 Tukunlalichila nkati Che Yesu, jutwammweni ni kumpilikana, kuti nombe ŵanyamwe nlumbikane pamo noweji mu umo watukwete nkulumbikana kwetu ni Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito Mwanagwe.
that which we have seen and heard, declare we to you, that ye also may have communion with us: and indeed our communion is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Tukunlembela ŵanyamwe indu yi kuti lukondwa lwenu ni lwetu lumalilwe.
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be complete.
5 Ngani jitwajipikene kutyochela ku Che Yesu ni jitukunlalichila ŵanyamwe jili: Akunnungu ali lulanga, ni ngapagwa chipi munkati mwakwe.
And this is the promise which we have heard from him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and that darkness in him there is none.
6 Twasalaga tulumbikene ni Akunnungu, akuno tuli nkupanganya ya chigongomalo ili mpela tukutama muchipi, tukusala unami ni indu yatukuitendekanya ngaŵa ya usyene.
If we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and practise not the truth:
7 Nambo twatamaga mu lulanga, mpela Akunnungu nsyene yakuti kutama mu lulanga, tukulumbikana pamo jwine ni jwine, ni miasi ji Che Yesu jwaali Mwanagwao, jikutuswejesya sambi syose.
but if we walk in the light, as he is himself in the light, we have communion with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 Twajilaga nganitukola sambi, tukulilambusya twachinsyene, ni usyene nganiuŵa mwetuwe.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Nambo twajitichisyaga ni kusala kwa Akunnungu kuti tukwete sambi, ŵelewo ali ŵakulupilichika ni ali ŵambone moŵa gose, nombejo chatulechelesye sambi syetu ni kutuswejesya ni yakunyakasya yose.
If we confess our sins, faithful is he and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Twajilaga nganitukola sambi tukuntenda Akunnungu ali jwaunani, ni liloŵe lyao nganilipagwa mwetuwe.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
