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 heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have contemplated, and our hands have handled, concerning the living Word--
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 seen it, and bear witness, and declare to you that life which is 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, we declare to you; that you also may have fellowship with us: and our fellowship truly is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 Tukunlembela ŵanyamwe indu yi kuti lukondwa lwenu ni lwetu lumalilwe.
And these things we write to 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.
Moreover, this is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
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 fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and obey 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 in the light; we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ the Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 Twajilaga nganitukola sambi, tukulilambusya twachinsyene, ni usyene nganiuŵa mwetuwe.
If we say 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, he is faithful and just to forgive 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.
