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.
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 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.
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 every one that hath this hope in him, sanctifieth himself, as he also is holy.
Kila muntu yakawera na matumbiru aga mu Kristu, su kalipungi mweni gambira Kristu ntambu yakawera mnanagala.
4 Whosoever committeth sin committeth also iniquity; and sin is iniquity.
Kila muntu yakatenda vidoda kalilema Lilagaliru lya Mlungu, toziya kutenda vidoda ndo kuhalibisiya Malagaliru ga Mlungu.
5 And you know that he appeared to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin.
Mwenga muvimana kuwera Kristu kiziti su kawusiyi vidoda na kwahera vidoda mngati mwakuwi.
6 Whosoever abideth in him, sinneth not; and whosoever sinneth, hath not seen him, nor 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 man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just.
Su wana wangu, namumjimira muntu yoseri kawapayili! Muntu yakatenda matendu yagamfiriziya Mlungu, yomberi kafiriziwa na Mlungu gambira Kristu ntambu yakafiriziwa na Mlungu.
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.
Muntu yakendereya kutenda vidoda kawera gwa Mkondola, toziya Mkondola katenditi vidoda kwanjira kwanja. Kumbiti Mwana gwa Mlungu kiziti pasipanu kugahalabisiya mahengu ga Mkondola.
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.
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 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.
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 For this is the declaration, which you have heard from the beginning, that you should love one another.
Na ujumbi yamuwupikaniriti kwanjira kwanja ndo awu, tulifiri twaweni kwa twaweni.
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.
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 Wonder not, brethren, if the world hate you.
Walongu wangu, namulikangasha handa wantu wa pasipanu pawakalalira mwenga.
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not, abideth in death.
Twenga tuvimana kuwera tupita kala mukuhowa na twingira muwukomu, toziya twankuwafira walongu wetu. Kila muntu yakahera ufiru kankusigala mukuhowa.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in himself. (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 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.
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 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?
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 My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in truth.
Wana wangu, natufira kwa visoweru hera kumbiti tufiri kwa matendu na muwunakaka.
19 In this we know that we are of the truth: and in his sight shall persuade our hearts.
Hangu ndo ntambu yatuweza kuvimana kuwera twenga tuwera wantu wanakaka, su hapeni tutili kulongolu kwa Mlungu.
20 For if our heart reprehend us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Ata myoyu yetu payitutoza, tuvimana kuwera Mlungu ndo mkulu kuliku myoyu yetu, na kamana kila shintu.
21 Dearly beloved, if our heart do not reprehend us, we have confidence towards God:
Walongu wangu, handa myoyu yetu payitutoza ndiri, su twenga hapeni tutili kulongolu kwa Mlungu,
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 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 love one another, as he hath given commandment unto us.
Na lilagaliru lyakuwi ndo ali, kumjimira Mwana gwakuwi Yesu Kristu na kulifira twenga kwa twenga gambira mweni ntambu yakatulagaliriti.
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.
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.
