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.
Chelo chakibile tangu mwanzo-chelo chatukiyowine, chelo tukibweni kwa minyo yitu, chelo chatukilolekeya, na maboko yitu iyomwike-kuhusu neno lya ukoto.
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)
Na wolo ukoto upangite kutangika wazi, na tuubweni, na kuushuhudia, na kubatangulizia ukoto wa milele, ambao ubile kwa Tate na upangika kuyowanika kwitu. (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.
Chelo chatukibweni na kukipekania twakitangaza kwinu kae, ili panga muweze kwembana pamope natwee, na ushirika witu pamope na Tate na mwana wake Yesu Kristo.
4 We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
Na twabaandikia makowe aga ili panga puraha yitu ibe timilifu.
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.
Awoo nga ujumbe twatiupekania boka kwake na kubatangazia: Nnongo ni bweya na nkati yake ntopo libendo hata nchunu.
6 If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
Mana twabaya panga tubile na ushirika niywembe na twatyanga mulibendo, twalongela ubocho na twapanga kwaa ukweli.
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.
Lakini twatyanga katika bweya mana ibile katika bweya, twashirikiana twenga kwa twenga, na myai ya Yesu Kristo, mwana wake yatitutakasa boka sambi yote.
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Mana twabaya ntopo sambi, twaibocholea twabene, na kweli ibile kwaa nkati yitu.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Lakini tukizitubu sambi zetu, ywembe ni mwaminifu na haki kutusamiya sambi yitu na kututakasa na ubou woti.
10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
Tukibaya panga twapanga kwaa sambi, twampanga ywembe kuwa mbocho, na neno lyake libile kwaa nkati yake.
