1 John 3
1 Behold what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God. Because of this the world does not know you, because it did not know him.
Mulole ni pendo lya namna gani lyatupeile Tate, panga tukemelwa bana ba Nnongo, na yelo nga tubile. Kwa mana yee ulimwengu ututangite kwaa mana umtangite kwaa ywembe,
2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet made known what we will be. But we know that whenever he is made known we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.
Apendwa twenga nambeambe ni bana ba Nnongo, na yaridhika kwaa bado jinsi yatubile. Tutangite panga Kristo paabonekana, twalowa fanana naywembe, mana twambweni kati yaabile.
3 And every man who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as that man is pure.
Na kila yumo ambaye abile na ujasiri wolo kuhusu muda woisa wauelekezwa kwake, hujitakasa mwene kati ywembe yaabile mtakatifu.
4 Every man doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
Kila undu ywaendelea kupanga sambi kuitekwaniya saliya. Kwa sababu sambi ni kutekwania saliya.
5 And ye know that that man was made known so that he might take up our sins. And in him is no sin.
Mutangite Kristo atidhihirishwa ili kuziondoa sambi kabisa.
6 Every man abiding in him does not sin. Every man who is sinning has not seen him, nor has known him.
Ntopo hata yumo ywadumu nkati yake na kuendelea kupanga sambi, Ntopo mundu hata yumo ywadumu katika sambi mana itei amweni au kuntanga ywembe.
7 Little children, let no man lead you astray. He who is doing righteousness is righteous, just as that man is righteous.
Bana bapendwa, kana mkubali kupotoshwa na mundu yeyote. Ywapanga haki ni mwene haki, mana yelo Kristo ywembe abile mwenye haki.
8 He who is doing sin is of the devil, because the devil sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was made known for this, so that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Ywapanga sambi ni ba ibilisi, kwa sababu ibilisi ni mpanga sambi tangu mwanzo. Kwa mana yee Mwana wa Nnongo atidhihirishwa ili aweze kuziharibu ili aweze kuziharibu kazi za ibilisi.
9 Every man who has been begotten of God is not doing sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.
Yeyote ywabelekilwe na Nnongo apanga kwaa sambi, kwa sababu mbeyu ya Nnongo utama nkati yake. Aweza kwaa kuendelea kupanga sambi kwa sababu abelekilwe na Nnongo.
10 By this the children of God are visible, and the children of the devil. Every man not doing righteousness is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother.
Katika lee bana ba Nnongo na bana ba ibilisi abtangitwe Yeyote ywapanga kwaa chakibile cha haki, cha Nnongo kwaa, wala yolo ambaye aweza kwaa kumpenda nongowe.
11 Because this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love each other.
Mana wolo nga ujumbe muuyowine boka mwanzo, panga tupalikwa kupendana twenga kwa twenga,
12 Not as Cain. He was of the wicked, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were wrong, and his brother's right.
abile kwaa kati kaini ambaye abile wa nchela na atimbulaga nongowe. Na kwa mwanja namani atimbulaga? Kwa mana matendo gake gabile mabou, na yalo ya nongowe yabile ya haki.
13 Marvel not, my brothers, if the world hates you.
Alongo bango, kana mushangae, mana ulimwengu utabachukiya.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who is not loving the brother abides in death.
Tutangite tuyomwile boka mu'kiwo na kuyingya mu'ukoto, kwa mana twaapenda alongo. Yeyote ambaye abile kwaa na upendo utama katika kiwo.
15 Every man hating his brother is a man-killer. And ye know that no man-killer has eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
Mundu yeyote ywamchukia nongowe ni muuaji. Na mutangite kuwa ukoto wa milele utama kwaa nkati ya muuaji. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we know love, because that man laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
Katika lee tutangite lipendo, kwa sababu kristo atiutoa ukoto wake kwa ajili yitu. Twenga tupalikwa kuyatoa maisha yitu kwa ajili ya nongo.
17 But whoever has the world's living, and sees his brother having need, and closes his bowels from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
Lakini yeyote ywabile na ilebe, na ambona nongowe mwenye uhitaji, lakini huuzuia moyo wake wa huruma kwa ajili yake; je upendo wa Nnongo utama kinamani nkati yake?
18 My little children, we should not love in word, nor with the tongue, but in deed and in truth.
Bana bango bapenzi, tupende kwaa mikano wala kwa maneno matupu ila katika vitendo na kweli.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and will assure our hearts before him.
Katika lee tutangite panga twenga tubile katika kweli, na mioyo yitu inathibitika katika ywembe.
20 Because if our heart should condemn us, that God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
mana itei kati mioyo yitu yatuhukumu, Nnongo ni nkolo kuliko mioyo yitu, na ywembe utanga makowe yote.
21 Beloved, if our heart should not condemn us, we have confidence toward God,
Apenzi, mana yitu yatuhukumu, tubile na ujasiri kwa Nnongo.
22 and whatever we may ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do things pleasing in his sight.
Na chochote tukiloba twakipokya boka kwake, kwa sababu twazikamwa amri yake na tugapanga makowe yagampendeza nnongi yake.
23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love each other, just as he gave command.
Na yee nga amri yake-ya panga tupalika kuamini katika lina lya mwana wake Yesu Kristo ma kupendana twenga kwa twenga kati yatupatia amri yake.
24 And he who keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, from the Spirit that he gave us.
Ywaziheshimu amri zake utama nkati yake, na Nnongo utama nkati yake. Na kwa sababu yee tutangite panga utama nkati yitu. Kwa yolo Roho ywatupile.
