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.
Mlola, uganu wa Dadi cheuvi ukulu weukita tikemelewa tavana va Chapanga! Na chakaka ndi chativili, ndi muni vandu va pamulima vatimanyili lepi tete ndava muni vammanyili lepi Chapanga.
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.
Mwava nkozi, hinu tavana va Chapanga, nambu yakona yangamanyikana hotohoto chetivyayi. Nambu timayili kuvya penapo Kilisitu peibwela yati tiwanangana nayu ndava yati tikumlola ngati cheavili.
3 All those who have this hope in them make sure they are pure, just as he is pure.
Na kila mundu mweavi na huvalila yeniyo ndi akujinyambisa, ngati Kilisitu cheanyambiswi.
4 All those who sin are lawless, because sin is lawlessness.
Kila mundu mweikita gahakau akugabela malagizu ga Chapanga, ndava kumbudila Chapanga ndi kuyibela malagizu ga Chapanga.
5 But of course you know that Jesus came to take away sins, and that there is no sin in him.
Kilisitu abwelili ndava ya kuwusa kumbudila kwitu Chapanga, na mwene ambudili lepi Chapanga.
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.
Kila mundu mweitama mukuwungana na Kilisitu iyendelela lepi kumbudila Chapanga. Yoyoha mweiyendelela kumbudila Chapanga, amuwene lepi amala ammanyili lepi.
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.
Vana vangu, mundu akotoka kuvakonga! Mweikita gabwina kwa Chapanga akumganisa Chapanga muni Kilisitu mmbwina neju palongolo ya Chapanga.
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.
Mweikita gahakau ndi wa Setani, ndava Muhakau ndi ambudili Chapanga kuhumila utumbula. Ndava yeniyo Mwana wa Chapanga abwelili pamulima muni ahalabisa lihengu loha la Mhakau.
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.
Kila mundu mweavili Mwana wa Chapanga akumbudila lepi Chapanga ndava muni wumi wa Chapanga utama mugati yaki ihotola lepi kumbudila Chapanga muni Chapanga ndi Dadi wavi.
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.
Kwa njila yeniyi tihotola kuvamanya vevavili vana va Chapanga na vevavili vana va Setani. Mundu yoyoha mwangakita gegavi gabwina palongolo yaki amala mundu mwanga mgana mlongo waki mwenuyo mwana lepi wa Chapanga.
11 The message you've heard from the beginning is simply this: we should love one another.
Wenuwu ndi ujumbi wemwayuwini kuhumila kadeni kuvya: Tigananayi tete kwa tete.
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.
Mkoto kuvya ngati Kaini mweavili mundu wa yula Muhakau akamukoma mlongo waki Abeli. Ndava ya kiki amkomili? Ndava matendu gaki gavi gahakau, na mlongo waki akitayi gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
13 So don't be surprised, my friends, if this world hates you!
Valongo vangu, mkoto kukangasa, ngati vandu va mulima vavavengii nyenye.
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.
Tete timanyi kuvya tihumi mulifwa tiyingi mukulama, ndava tivaganili valongo. Mwene mweangali uganu mwenuyo itama mumakakala ga lifwa.
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)
Kila mweakumuvenga mlongo waki ndi mkomaji, na nyenye mumanyi kuvya mundu mkomaji avi lepi na wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (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.
Ndava ya lenili tiumanyi uganu chauvi, ndi muni Kilisitu awusili wumi waki ndava ya tete, na tete mewa tiwusa wumi witu ndava ya kuvatangatila valongo vitu.
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?
Nambu mundu avi na vindu vya pamulima, na akumlola mlongo waki igana, akabela kumuhengela lipyana, wu, ihotola wuli kujova akumgana Chapanga?
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.
Vana vangu tileka kuvagana vandu kwa kujova ndu nambu tivagana chakaka kwa kulangisa matendu.
19 This is how we will know that we belong to the truth, and how we will set our minds at rest before God
Ndi chetihotola kuvya tavandu vetivili na uchakaka, na tivili lepi na wogoyi mumitima yitu palongolo ya Chapanga.
20 whenever we think we're in the wrong. God is greater than how we think, and he knows everything.
Ngati mitima yitu ikutikumbusa lepi kuvya tikumbudila Chapanga, timanyi kuvya Chapanga muvaha kuliku mitima hitu na mwene amanyili goha.
21 Dear friends, if we're reassured we're not in the wrong, we can have confidence before God.
Vankozi vangu, mitima yitu ngati yikutikumbusa lepi kuvya tikumbudila Chapanga hinu tivya lepi na wogoyi palongolo ya Chapanga.
22 We'll receive from him whatever we ask him for, because we follow his commands and do what pleases him.
Na chochoha chetikumuyupa, tichipata kwaki. Tiyuwanila mihilu yaki kukita gala gegakumganisa Chapanga.
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.
Mihilu yaki ndi iyi, kumsadika Yesu Kilisitu mweavili Mwana waki, na kuganana tavete ngati cheatilagizili.
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.
Vandu voha veviyidakila mihilu ya Chapanga vitama mukuwungana nayu. Vene vitama mugati ya Chapanga na Chapanga itama mugati yavi. Tete tigamanyili ago kwa njila ya Mpungu Msopi mweatipelili.
