1 John 3
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
Nnole yatite kutunonyela Atati, mpaka tukuŵilanjikwa ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, noweji ni yatuli. Kwaligongo lyo ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pa ngaakutumanyilila, pakuŵa nganiŵamanyilila Akunnungu.
2 Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.
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.
3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.
Nipele, jwalijose jwakulolela kwawona Kilisito aliswejesye, mpela ila Kilisito nsyene yatite kuswejela.
4 Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.
Mundu jwalijose jwakutenda sambi ngakulikamulisya lilajisyo lya Akunnungu, pakuŵa kutenda sambi kuli kuleka kukamulisya lilajisyo.
5 But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.
Nkumanyilila kuti Kilisito ŵaiche kuti asityosye sambi syetu, nombewo nganakola sambi syasili syose.
6 No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.
Kwayele mundu jwalumbikene ni Kilisito ngakwendelechela kutendekanya sambi. Nambo jwakwendelechela kutendekanya sambi nganaŵe kwawona ŵelewo atamuno kwamanyilila.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.
Achiŵanangu, mundu jwalijose ngasanlyungasya. Mundu jwakutenda ipanganyo yambone, mundu jo akwanonyelesya Akunnungu mpela ila Kilisito yatite kwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.
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.
9 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
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.
10 By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
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.
11 This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
Pakuŵa ngani jimwajipikene chitandile kundanda ni aji: Tunonyelane jwine ni jwine.
12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did Cain slay him? Because his own deeds were evil, while those of his brother were righteous.
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.
13 So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
Achalongo achinjangu nkasimonga naga ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pa akunchima.
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.
Uweji tukwimanyilila yakuti tupitile kutyochela mu chiwa ni kwinjila mu umi, pakuŵa tukwanonyela achalongo achinjetu. Mundu jwanganakola unonyelo akutama mmachili ga chiwa.
15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer. (aiōnios g166)
Mundu jwalijose jwakunchima njakwe ali jwauulasi ni ŵanyamwe nkwimanyilila, jwauulasi nganakola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi munkati mwakwe. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
Yeleyi ni yatukuti pakuumanyilila unonyelo yauli, pakuŵa Kilisito ŵautyosisye umi wao kwa ligongo lyetu. Noweji tukuŵajilwa kuutyosya umi wetu kwaligongo lya kwakamuchisya achalongo achinjetu.
17 If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?
Nambo mundu akolaga chipanje cha pachilambo, ni kummona mpwakwe akwete yaikwasoŵa, nombejo ngakwakolela chanasa, ana mundu jo akukombola chinauli kusala akwanonyela Akunnungu?
18 Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.
Achiŵanangu, tuleche kwanonyela ŵandu kwa maloŵe pe, nambo twanonyele kwa kwalosya isambo.
19 And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence:
Yeleyi ni yatukuti pakumanyilila kuti uweji tuli ŵa usyene ni mitima jetu nganijikola lipamba paujo pa Akunnungu.
20 Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.
Pakuŵa atamuno mitima jetu ngajikutulamula kuti tuleŵile, tukwimanyilila kuti Akunnungu ali jwankulu kujipunda mitima jetu, nombeŵo akwimanyilila indu yose.
21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God,
Achambusanga ŵangu naga mitima jetu ngajikutulamula kuti tuleŵile, nipele nganitukola lipamba paujo pa Akunnungu.
22 and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.
Ni chilichose chatukuŵenda kukwao tukupochela, pakuŵa tukwitichisya malajisyo gao ni kuipanganya yaikwanonyelesya.
23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us.
Ni lilajisyo lyao lili lyeleli, tulikulupilile lina lya Che Yesu Kilisito, Mwanagwe ni kunonyelana jwine ni jwine mpela yatite pakutulajisya.
24 Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us.
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.
