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.
China chivena kuma tangilo-chi tu vazuwi, chi tuva voni ni menso etu, chi tuva loli hateni, mi etu mayanza ava kwati- kuya kache nzwi lya vuhalo.
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)
Hape, vuhalo vuve zi vankaniswa, mi tuva vu voni, mi twina vupaki vwaza teni. Twi zi vahaza kwenu za vuhalo vu ya kule, vu vena ni Tayo, mi vu ve zibahazwa kwe tu. (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.
China chitu va voni ni ku zuwa tu chi wamba kwenu nanwe, nji kuti nanwe muve ni chilikani na swe. Chi likani chetu china ni Tayo ni mwana kwe, Jesu Kirisite.
4 We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
Hape, tu miñolela izi zintu kwenu nji kuti kusanga kwetu ku izuzilizwe.
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.
Uwu nji mulaezo utu va zuwi kwali mi wi ziviswa kwenu: Ireza i seli, mi mwali kakwina nanta chi nzime.
6 If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
Heva ni tu wamba kuti twina chilikani na ye mi ni tu yenda mwi chi nzime, tu chenga mi ka tu likanyisi bu niti.
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.
Kono haiva ni tu yenda mwi seli sina iye hena mwi seli, twina chilikani ni zumwi ni zumwi, mi malaha a Jesu Mwana kwe a tu joloza ku chivi chonse.
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Heva tuwamba kuti katwina chivi, tu li chenga tuvene, mi vu niti ka vwina mwetu.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Kono ha tuli wamba zivi zetu, u sepahala ni kuluka kuku tu wondela zivi zetu mi ni ku tu joloza mu ku sa luka kwetu konse.
10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
Heva nitu ta kuti ka twini ku chita chivi, tu mu panga kuti ave muchengi, mi inzwi lyakwe ka lina mwetu.
