1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life.
Tulamulembelenga sha liswi lyeshikupa buyumi. Pakutatika twalalinyumfwa ne kulibona ne menso etu. Nicakubinga twalalibona kayi twalalikata ne makasa etu.
2 And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us. (aiōnios g166)
Buyumi ubu mpobwalabonekela, twalabubona, weco tulamwinshibishinga ne kumusansulwila sha buyumi butapu bwalikuba ne Bata kayi bwalabonekela kulinjafwe. (aiōnios g166)
3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
Ico ncotwalabona nekunyumfwa encotulamukambaukilinga kwambeti nenjamwe mube kulubasu lwetu mbuli bana ba Lesa kayi ne mwanendi Yesu Klistu.
4 We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
Tulamulembelenga makani awa kwambeti kusangalala kwetu kube kwancine ncine.
5 And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
Lino mulumbe ngotwalanyumfwa kumwanendi ne kumukambaukila niwakwambeti Lesa emumuni kayi kuliyawa mushinshe muli endiye.
6 If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
Twambeti tuli ne Lesa nkakuli bwikalo bwetu nibwa mushinshe, ekwambeti tobandemi shibili mukwamba ne minshilo yetu.
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Lino na tulekalanga mu mumuni mbuli endiye ncali mu mumuni ekwambeti tuli pamo nendiye kayi ne milopa ya Yesu mwanendi ikute kutuswepesha kubwipishi.
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Lino na tulambangeti tuliya bwipishi, tulalibepenga tobene kayi tuliya cakubinga.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Nsombi natulambeti toba bwipishi, Lesa washomeka kayi walulama, ngautulekelela bwipishi bwetu ne kutufunya ku bwipishi bulibonse.
10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
Natulambeti tuliya bwipishi ekwambeti tulambangeti Lesa nimubepeshi kayi maswi akendi nkalipo mulinjafwe.
