1 John 3
1 Behold what manner of charity the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called, and should be the sons of God. Therefore the world knoweth not us, because it knew not him.
Mbe nimulole ni lyenda lya kutiki linu Lata achiyaye, ati chibhilikilwe bhana bha Nyamuanga, na nikwo kutyo chili. Ku nsonga inu Echalo chitakuchimenya kulwo kubha chitamumenyele omwene.
2 Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God; and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know, that, when he shall appear, we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is.
Abhendwa eswe wolyanu chili bhana bha Nyamuanga, na jichali kumenyekana lwa kutyo jakabhe. Echimenya ati olwo Kristo alibhonekana, chilisusana nage, kulwo kubha chilimulola lwa kutyo ali.
3 And every one that hath this hope in him, sanctifieth himself, as he also is holy.
Na bhuli umwi unu ali no bhubhasi bhunu kwo okulubhana no mwanya gunu oguja gunu gwelesibhwe ku mwene, abhelesha abhene lwa kutyo mwenene ali mwelu
4 Whosoever committeth sin committeth also iniquity; and sin is iniquity.
Bhuli munu unu kagendelela okukola ebhibhibhi kanyamula ebhilagilo. Ku nsonga echibhibhi ni bhunyamusi bhwe bhilagilo.
5 And you know that he appeared to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin.
mumenyele ati Kristo abhulisibhwe koleleki asoshewo echibhibhi chimwi. Na mu mwene chitalimo chibhibhi.
6 Whosoever abideth in him, sinneth not; and whosoever sinneth, hath not seen him, nor known him.
Ataliwo nolwo umwi unu katula okulama mu mwene no kugendelela okukola ebhibhibhi. Ataliwo munu nolwo umwi unu katula okulama mu bhibhibhi akabha amubhwene amwi amumenyele mwenene.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just.
Abhana abhendwa, munu wona wona asiga kubhayabhya. Unu kakola ejo bhulengelesi ni mulengelesi, lwa kutyo Kristo one ni mulengelesi.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Unu kakola ebhibhibhi ni wa Shetani, ku nsonga Shetani ni mukosi we bhibhibhi kusoka bhusimuka. Ku nsonga inu omwana wa Nyamuanga abhulisibhwe koleleki atule okujinyamula emilimu ja Shetani.
9 Whosoever is born of God, committeth not sin: for his seed abideth in him, and he can not sin, because he is born of God.
Wona wona unu ebhuywe na Nyamuanga atakutula kukola chibhibhi, Ku nsonga injuma ya Nyamuanga imulimo. Atakutula kugendelela kukola chibhibhi Ku nsonga ebhuywe na Nyamuanga.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever is not just, is not of God, nor he that loveth not his brother.
Mulinu bhana bha Nyamuanga na bhana bha Shetani abhamenyekana. Wona wona unu atakukola chinu chili cho bhulengelesi, atali wa Nyamuanga, nolwo ulya unu atakutula okumwenda owabho.
11 For this is the declaration, which you have heard from the beginning, that you should love one another.
Gunu Nigwo omusango gunu mwonguywe okusoka bhusimuka, ati kuchiile okwenda eswe abhene kwa bhene,
12 Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and killed his brother. And wherefore did he kill him? Because his own works were wicked: and his brother’s just.
atali lwa kutyo Kaini aliga ali mubhibhi no kumwita owabho. Na ni kulwa-ki amwitile? Ku nsonga ye bhikolwa bhyaye bhyaliga bhibhibhi, ne bhyo wabho bhyaliga bhyo bhulengelesi.
13 Wonder not, brethren, if the world hate you.
Bhana bhasu, mwasiga kulugula, nolwo echalo chikabhabhililillwa.
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not, abideth in death.
Echimenya ati chasokele mu lufu no kwingila mu bhuanga, ku nsonga echibhenda abhaili bhasu. Wona wona unu atali na lyenda kakomela mu kufwa.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in himself. (aiōnios g166)
Omunu wona wona unu kamubhiilililwa owabho ni mwiti. Na mumenyele ati obhuanga bhwa kajanende bhutakwinyanja munda yo mwiti. (aiōnios g166)
16 In this we have known the charity of God, because he hath laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Mu linu echilimenya elyenda, ku nsonga Kristo esosishe obhuanga bhekaye ingulu yeswe. Neswe one kuchiile okubhusosha obhulame bheswe ingulu ya bhasu.
17 He that hath the substance of this world, and shall see his brother in need, and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him?
Mbe nawe wona wona unu ali ne bhinu, mbe namulola owabho ali mukene, mbe nawe naguganya omwoyo gwaye ogwe chigongo ingulu yaye; Angu, okwenda kwa Nyamuanga kubhekayemo kutiki?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in truth.
Abhana bhani abhendwa, chasiga kwenda kwe minwa-la nolwo kwe misango jinu chitalimo chinu nawe mu bhikolwa ne chimali.
19 In this we know that we are of the truth: and in his sight shall persuade our hearts.
Mu linu echimenya ati eswe chili mu chimali, ne mioyo jeswe ejikomelesha mu mwene.
20 For if our heart reprehend us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Nolwo kutyo emioyo jeswe ejichilamula, Nyamuanga ni mukulu kukila emioyo jeswe, no mwene kamenya misango jona.
21 Dearly beloved, if our heart do not reprehend us, we have confidence towards God:
Abhendwa, alabha emioyo jeswe jitakuchilamula, mbe chili no bhubhasi ku Nyamuanga.
22 And whatsoever we shall ask, we shall receive of him: because we keep his commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.
Na chona chona chinu echisabhwa echichilamila okusoka kwaye, ku nsonga chigawtile ebhilagilo bhyaye no kukola emisango jinu ejo kukondelesha imbele yaye.
23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ: and love one another, as he hath given commandment unto us.
Mbe chinu nicho echilagilo chaye ati kuchiile okulikilisha lisina lyo mwana ways Yesu Kristo no mwendanega eswe abhene kwa bhene -lwa kutyo achiyaye echilagilo chaye,
24 And he that keepeth his commandments, abideth in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
unu kabhyolobhela ebhilagilo bhyaye kakomela mu mwene, na Nyamuanga kabhekalamo abhene. Na ku nsonga inu echimenya ati kachiikaya eswe, ku Mwoyo unu achiyaye.
