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.
Tikuvayandikila nyenye kumvala mundu mmonga mweikemiwa Lilovi mweakuvapela vandu wumi wewavili kuhumila kadeni. Tete tamuyuwini na kumlola kwa mihu gitu tavete, tamlolili na kumukamula kwa mawoko gitu tavete.
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)
Na yula mweileta wumi peabwelili, tamuwene tavete na hinu tijova malovi gaki na tikuvakokosela na kuvajovela ndava ya wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu, mwene avili kwa Dadi na hinu atihumili tete. (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.
Chetachiweni na kuchiyuwana ndi chetikuvakokosela nyenye mewa, muni na nyenye muumonga wetivi nawu muni mukuwungana na Chapanga Dadi witu na Mwana waki Yesu Kilisitu.
4 We're writing to tell you about this in order to make our happiness complete.
Tikuvayandikila nyenye mambu aga muni nyenye na tete tivya na luheku lwelutimili.
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.
Hinu, ujumbi wetauyuwini kwaki Yesu na wetavakokosili ndi uwu: Chapanga ndi lumuli na kawaka chitita chochoha mugati yaki.
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.
Tikajova kuvya mukuwungana nayu, nambu titama muchitita ndi tijova udese, na matendu gitu ga chakaka lepi.
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.
Nambu ngati titama mu lumuli ngati mwene cheavili mu lumuli, tivya na umonga tete tavete pamonga na ngasi ya Yesu mweavi Mwana waki, yikutinyambisa kumbudila kwitu Chapanga kwoha.
8 If we claim to be sinless we only fool ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Tikajova kuvya tikumbudila lepi Chapanga, tikujikonga tavete, na uchakaka uvi lepi mugati yitu.
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.
Nambu tikayidakila na kujova kwa Chapanga kuvya tibudili, Chapanga ndi msadikika na yati ihenga gegiganikiwa, na mwene yati akutilekekesa mabudilu gitu na kutinyambisa uhakau woha.
10 If we claim we haven't sinned, we turn him into a liar, and his word is not in us.
Ngati tikajova tikiti lepi uhakau, tikumukita Chapanga ndi mdese na lilovi laki livili lepi mugati mwitu.
