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.
Su muloli Tati ntambu yakatufiriti nentu ata tushemwa wana wa Mlungu. Nakaka ndo ntambu yatuwera. Mana wantu wa pasipanu watumana ndiri twenga, toziya womberi wamumaniti ndiri Mlungu.
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.
Waganja wangu, vinu twenga tuwera wana wa Mlungu, kumbiti hayeniwoneki paweru ntambu hatuweri. Kumbiti tuvimana kuwera Kristu pakalawira, hatulifani nayomberi toziya hatumwoni ntambu yakawera.
3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.
Kila muntu yakawera na matumbiru aga mu Kristu, su kalipungi mweni gambira Kristu ntambu yakawera mnanagala.
4 Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.
Kila muntu yakatenda vidoda kalilema Lilagaliru lya Mlungu, toziya kutenda vidoda ndo kuhalibisiya Malagaliru ga Mlungu.
5 But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.
Mwenga muvimana kuwera Kristu kiziti su kawusiyi vidoda na kwahera vidoda mngati mwakuwi.
6 No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.
Su kila yakalikolerana pamuhera na Kristu, hapeni kendereyi kutenda vidoda, kumbiti kila muntu yakendereya kutenda vidoda hakenipati ng'o kumwona ama kumumana Kristu.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.
Su wana wangu, namumjimira muntu yoseri kawapayili! Muntu yakatenda matendu yagamfiriziya Mlungu, yomberi kafiriziwa na Mlungu gambira Kristu ntambu yakafiriziwa na Mlungu.
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.
Muntu yakendereya kutenda vidoda kawera gwa Mkondola, toziya Mkondola katenditi vidoda kwanjira kwanja. Kumbiti Mwana gwa Mlungu kiziti pasipanu kugahalabisiya mahengu ga Mkondola.
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.
Kila muntu yakawera mwana gwa Mlungu hapeni kendereyi kutendi vidoda, toziya ukomu wa Mlungu ulikala mngati mwakuwi, yomberi hapeni kendereyi kutenda vidoda toziya kawera mwana gwa Mlungu.
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.
Kwantambu ayi tuweza kuwamana wana wa Mlungu na viraa kuwamana wana wa Mkondola. Muntu yoseri yakamfiriziya ndiri Mlungu na muntu yakamfira ndiri mlongu gwakuwi, womberi wawera ndiri wana wa Mlungu.
11 This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
Na ujumbi yamuwupikaniriti kwanjira kwanja ndo awu, tulifiri twaweni kwa twaweni.
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.
Natuwera gambira Kaini yakaweriti gwa Mkondola ulii, yakamlagiti mupusi gwakuwi. Kwa ntambu gaa kamlagiti? Toziya matendu gakuwi gaweriti makondola, kumbiti matendu galii ga mlongu gwakuwi gaweriti ga kumfiriziya Mlungu.
13 So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
Walongu wangu, namulikangasha handa wantu wa pasipanu pawakalalira mwenga.
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.
Twenga tuvimana kuwera tupita kala mukuhowa na twingira muwukomu, toziya twankuwafira walongu wetu. Kila muntu yakahera ufiru kankusigala mukuhowa.
15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer. (aiōnios g166)
Kila muntu yakamkalalira mlongu gwakuwi kawera mlaga na mwenga muvimana kuwera mlaga yoseri ulii kahera ukomu wa mashaka goseri mngati mwakuwi. (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.
Kwa ntambu ayi twenga tuvimana ufiru wa Mlungu, toziya Yesu Kristu kagalaviyiti makaliru gakuwi kwajili yatwenga. Na twenga viraa vilii tufiruwa kugalaviya makaliru getu kwajili ya walongu wetu.
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?
Su muntu pakawera na lunda zya pasipanu, shakapanu pakamwona mlongu gwakuwi kamuhushu, kumbiti kamwonera ndiri lusungu, muntu ayu kaweza hashi kulonga kuwera kana ufiru wa Mlungu mngati mwakuwi?
18 Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.
Wana wangu, natufira kwa visoweru hera kumbiti tufiri kwa matendu na muwunakaka.
19 And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence:
Hangu ndo ntambu yatuweza kuvimana kuwera twenga tuwera wantu wanakaka, su hapeni tutili kulongolu kwa Mlungu.
20 Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.
Ata myoyu yetu payitutoza, tuvimana kuwera Mlungu ndo mkulu kuliku myoyu yetu, na kamana kila shintu.
21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God,
Walongu wangu, handa myoyu yetu payitutoza ndiri, su twenga hapeni tutili kulongolu kwa Mlungu,
22 and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.
na kwanka shoseri shatuluwa, toziya tugajimira malagaliru gakuwi na kutenda galii yagamfiriziya.
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.
Na lilagaliru lyakuwi ndo ali, kumjimira Mwana gwakuwi Yesu Kristu na kulifira twenga kwa twenga gambira mweni ntambu yakatulagaliriti.
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.
Muntu yakagajimira malagaliru ga Mlungu, yomberi kankulikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na Mlungu na Mlungu kankulikala mukulikolerana pamuhera nayomberi. Twenga tuvimana kuwera Mlungu kankulikala mukulikolerana pamuhera natwenga kupitira Rohu Mnanagala yakatupananiti.
