1 John 3
1 Look at the amazing kind of love the Father has for us! This is why we can be called God's children—for that's who we are! The reason why the people of this world don't recognize us as God's children is because they don't recognize him.
Mulangai ni luganu lya namna gani atupelili tata, kuj'ha twikutibhwa bhana bha K'yara, na naha ndo kyataj'hele. Kwa ndabha Obho bhulimwengu bhutumanyilepi kwa kuj'ha ghwammnyidumu muene.
2 My friends, we are already God's children; however what we shall become hasn't been revealed just yet. But we do know that when he appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is.
Bhaganwa tete henu ndo bhana bha K'yara na j'hidhihiri kilepi bado jinsi kyatubetakuj'ha. Tumanyili kuj'ha kristu paibeta kubhonekana tukufuatana na numuene, kwani twibetakumbona kama kyaaj'hele.
3 All those who have this hope in them make sure they are pure, just as he is pure.
Na kilammonga ambaj'he aj'he ni bhubisisya obho kuhusu bhwakati bhwa bhwihida bhwabhaij'he lakisibhu kwa muene, ikwij'hosya muene kama muene kya api'hele n'takatifu.
4 All those who sin are lawless, because sin is lawlessness.
Kila munu j'haij'hendelela kubhomba sambi ibomola Sheria. Kwa ndabha sambi ndo bhubomolaji bhwa Sheria.
5 But of course you know that Jesus came to take away sins, and that there is no sin in him.
Mmanyili Kristu adhalilishibhu ili kusibhosya sambi kabisa. Na mugati mwake kuj'helepi ni sambi.
6 All those who live in him don't go on sinning; all those who keep on sinning haven't seen him and haven't known him.
Aj'helepi hata mmonga j'haidumu mugati mwake ni kuj'hendelela kubhomba sambi. Aj'helepi munu ata mmonga j'haidumu mu sambi ikaj'helayi ambwene au kummanya muene.
7 Dear friends, don't let anyone fool you: those who do what is right are right, in the same way as Jesus is right.
Bhana bhaghanwa, mkata kuj'hendekela kupotosibhwa ni munu j'hoj'hioha j'hela. J'ha ibhomba haki ndo n'kolo haki, Kama vile Kristu muene kyaaj'hele ni haki.
8 Those who sin are of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. That's the reason why the Son of God came—to destroy what the devil has done.
J'haibhomba sambi ndo ghwaibilisi, kwandabha ibilisi ndo mmbomba sambi kuh'omela kubhwandelu. Kwa ndabha ej'he mwana ghwa K'yara adhalilishibhu ili abhwesiagha kusyonanga mbombo sya ibilisi.
9 All those who are born of God don't keep on sinning, for God's nature lives in them. They can't keep on sinning because they are born of God.
j'hoj'hioha j'hola j'haahogoliki ni K'yara ibhombalepi sambi, kwandabha mbegu j'ha K'yara j'hi tama mugati mwake. Ibhwesyalepi kuj'hendelela kubhomba sambi kwandabha ahogoliki nu K'yara.
10 This is how God's children and the devil's children can be distinguished: all those who don't do what's right don't belong to God, nor do those who don't love their fellow Christians.
Katika e'le bhana bha K'yara ni bhana bha ibilisi bhimanyikana. j'hoj'hioha j'haibhomba kyakij'hele Kya haki, ghwa K'yara lepi, bhwala j'hola ambaj'he ibhwesyalepi kun'gana ndogo munu.
11 The message you've heard from the beginning is simply this: we should love one another.
Kwani obho ndo bhujumbe ambagho mughup'heliki kuh'omela kubhwandu, kuj'ha twilondeka kuganana yoti kwa yoti,
12 We cannot be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one, and murdered his brother. Why did he murder him? Because Cain did what was evil, while his brother did what was right.
sio kama kaini ambaj'he aj'hele mwovu na an'komili ndongo munu. Na kwandabha j'hakiki an'komili? Kwandabha matendo ghake ghaj'hele maovu, ni gha ndogomunu ghaj'hele gha haki.
13 So don't be surprised, my friends, if this world hates you!
Bhalongo bhangu, Mkatakusyangala, kama bhulimwengu ubekubhadadila.
14 The reason we know that we have changed from death to life is because we love our Christian brothers and sisters. Anyone who doesn't love remains dead.
Tumanyili tumalili kuhoma mu mauti ni kuj'hingila mu bhusima, kwandabha tubhaganili bhalongo. J'hoj'hioha ambaj'he aduli luganu idumu mu mauti.
15 All those who hate their Christian brothers and sisters are murderers, and you know that no murderers have eternal life within them! (aiōnios g166)
Munu j'hej'hioha j'haikan'dadila ndogomunu ndo nkomi. Na mmanyili kuj'ha bhusima bhwa milele bhwitama lepi mugati mwa nkomi. (aiōnios g166)
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our Christian brothers and sisters.
Mu e'le tulimanyili luganu, kwa ndabha Kristu ahomisye bhuhai bhwake kwa ndabha j'hitu.
17 If one of you is living well in this world and you see your Christian brother or sister in need, but you don't show compassion—how can God's love be living in you?
Natu twilondeka kughabhosya maisha ghitu kwa ndabha j'ha bhukamu. Lakini j'hoj'hioha j'ha aj'hele ni fenu, na akambona ndongo munu j'ha aj'he ni bhuhitaji, lakini akabhubesya n'tama ghwake bhwa huruma kwandabha j'hiake: je, luganu lwa K'yara bhwitama bhuli mugati mwa muene?
18 Dear friends, let's not just say we love with words, but show our love in what we do and how we demonstrate the truth.
Bhana bhangu bhaganwa, tusigani kwa milomo bhwala kwa malobhi mat'opu bali mu fitendo ni bhukweli.
19 This is how we will know that we belong to the truth, and how we will set our minds at rest before God
Mu e'le tumanyili kuj'ha tete tuj'hele mu bhukweli, ni miteema ghitu j'hithibitika kwa muene.
20 whenever we think we're in the wrong. God is greater than how we think, and he knows everything.
Ikajhiayi Kama mi'teema ghitu j'hikatuhukumu, K'yara ndo m'baha kuliko miteema ghitu, ni muene imanya mambo ghoha.
21 Dear friends, if we're reassured we're not in the wrong, we can have confidence before God.
Bhapenzi, Kama mi'teema ghitu ghibelepikuhukumu tuj'hele ni bhusisya kwa K'yara.
22 We'll receive from him whatever we ask him for, because we follow his commands and do what pleases him.
Na kyokyoha kyatwis'oma tubelakukij'hamb'elela kuh'omela kwa muene kwa ndabha tukasikamula amri syake na twibhomba mambo ghaghipendasya pamihu pake.
23 This is what he commands: we should trust in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us to do.
Na e'j'he ndo amri j'hiake j'ha kuj'ha twilondeka kukyera mu lihina lya mwanabha Yesu Kristu ni kuganana tete kwa tete Kama Kya atupelili amri syake.
24 Those who keep his commands continue to live in him, and he lives in them. We know that he lives in us by the Spirit he has given us.
j'ha ikasitii kya amri syake idumu mugati mwake, ni K'yara itama mugati mwake. Na kwandabha ej'he tumanyili kuj'ha itama mugati mwitu, kwa j'hola Roho j'haatupelili.
