1 John 1
1 This letter is about the Word of Life which existed from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our very own eyes and gazed upon, and which our hands have touched.
Chilya chinu chaliga chiliwo okusoka bhusimuka-chilya chinu chonguywe, chilya chinu chalolele kwa meso geswe, chilya chinu chabhwene, na chinu amabhoko geswe gachigwatile-okulubhana no musango gwo bhuanga.
2 This Life was revealed to us; we saw it and give evidence about it. We are telling you about the one who is Eternal Life, who was with the Father, and who was revealed to us. (aiōnios g166)
No bhuanga bhulya bhwakolelwe kwo kumenyekana abhwelu, na nichibhulola, no kubhubhambalila, no kubhalasisha obhuanga bhwa kajanende, bhunu bhwaliga ku Lata na nibhukolwa kumenyekana kweswe. (aiōnios g166)
3 What we have seen and heard we are now explaining to you, so that you may also share in this friendship together with us—this friendship that is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Chilya chinu chalolele no kuchungwa echichikumusha kwemwe one, koleleki ati mutule okubhanyasha amwi neswe, no bhulangi bhweswe amwi na Lata no mwana waye Yesu Kristo.
4 We're writing to tell you about this in order to make our happiness complete.
Na echibhandikila emisango jinu emwe koleleki ati obhulosi bhweswe bhukumile.
5 This is the message we received from him and that we declare to you: God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in him at all.
Gunu Nigwo omusango gunu chonguywe okusoka kwaye no kubhalasisha: Nyamuanga ni bhwelu na munda yaye chitalimo chisute na katyali.
6 If we claim to share this friendship with him and yet go on living in darkness, we're lying, and not living in the truth.
Alabha chikaika ati chili no bhusangi nage kenu nichilibhatila mu chisute, chaliga na chitakukola je chimali.
7 But if we are living in the light, as he is in the light, then we share in this friendship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, makes us clean from every sin.
Mbe nawe chikalibhatila mu bhwelu lwa kutyo ali mu bhwelu, echisangila eswe abhene kwa bhene, na insagama ya Yesu Kristo, eyo mwana waye eichesha okusoka mu bhibhibhi bhyona.
8 If we claim to be sinless we only fool ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Alabha chikaika ati chitana bhibhibhi, echijiga-jiga weswe abhene, ne chimali chitachilimo eswe.
9 But if we confess our sins, he is trustworthy and right so that he can forgive us our sins and make us clean from all that is not right in us.
Mbe nawe chikata ebhibhibhi bhyeswe, mwenene ni mwiikanyibhwa na mulengelesi okuchiswalilila ebhibhibhi bhyeswe no kuchesha na mabhibhi gona.
10 If we claim we haven't sinned, we turn him into a liar, and his word is not in us.
Chikaika ati chichali kukola bhibhibhi, echimukola mwenene kubha mulimi, no musango gwaye gutachilimo kweswe.
