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.
Echo chakazwa kumatalikilo - nchitwakamvwa, nchitwakabona amenso eesu, nchitwakalanga, alimwi maboko esu akachiguma - chilatala a Jwi lyabuumi.
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)
Alimwi, buumi bwakachitwa kuti buzibwe, alimwi twakabubona, tububeda bukamboni. Tulikumwambila buumi ibutamani, bwakali a Taata, alimwi bwakazibisigwa kuli ndiswe. (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.
Echo nchitwabona akumvwa aswebo tumwambila nchiicho, kuti anywebo mube abulidilano andiswe. Bulidilano bwesu buli a Taata alimwi aMwana wakwe Jesu Kkilisito.
4 We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
Alimwi tulikulemba zintu ezi kulindinywe kuchitila kuti lukondo lwesu luzulile. Amwi malembe eensiku echiGiliki abalika boobu, alimwi tulikumulembela zintu ezi kuchitila kuti lukondo lwenu luzulile.
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.
Aya ngemakani ngitwakamvwa kulinguwe ngitwamwambila: Leza mumuuni, alimwi mulinguwe tamukwe mudima abunini pe.
6 If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
Kuti katwamba kuti tulabulidilano anguwe pele katwenda mumudima, tulikubeja alimwi tatuchiti bwini pe.
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.
Pele kuti katwenda mumumuni mbuli mbwali mumumuni we, tulabulidilano umwi awumwi, alimwi bulowa bwa Jesu Mwana wakwe bulatusalazya kuzwa kuzibi zyoonse.
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Kuti twati tatukwe chibi, tulikulyeena lwesu, alimwi bwini tabumo pe mulindiswe.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Pele kuti twalyaamba zibi zyesu, ulisyomekede akululama kutulekelela zibi zyesu akutusalazya kuzwa kukutalulama koonse.
10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
Kuti twaati taakwe nitwakabisya, twamuchita mubeji, aboobo ijwi lyakwe talimo pe muli ndiswe.
