< 1 John 1 >

1 That which was from the beginning, which wee haue heard, which wee haue seene with these our eyes, which wee haue looked vpon, and these handes of ours haue handled of that Word of life,
Echo chakazwa kumatalikilo - nchitwakamvwa, nchitwakabona amenso eesu, nchitwakalanga, alimwi maboko esu akachiguma - chilatala a Jwi lyabuumi.
2 (For that life was made manifest, and wee haue seene it, and beare witnes, and shewe vnto you that eternall life, which was with the Father, and was made manifest vnto vs) (aiōnios g166)
Alimwi, buumi bwakachitwa kuti buzibwe, alimwi twakabubona, tububeda bukamboni. Tulikumwambila buumi ibutamani, bwakali a Taata, alimwi bwakazibisigwa kuli ndiswe. (aiōnios g166)
3 That, I say, which wee haue seene and heard, declare wee vnto you, that yee may also haue fellowship with vs, and that our fellowship also may be with the Father, and with his Sonne Iesvs Christ.
Echo nchitwabona akumvwa aswebo tumwambila nchiicho, kuti anywebo mube abulidilano andiswe. Bulidilano bwesu buli a Taata alimwi aMwana wakwe Jesu Kkilisito.
4 And these thinges write we vnto you, that that your ioy may be full.
Alimwi tulikulemba zintu ezi kulindinywe kuchitila kuti lukondo lwesu luzulile. Amwi malembe eensiku echiGiliki abalika boobu, alimwi tulikumulembela zintu ezi kuchitila kuti lukondo lwenu luzulile.
5 This then is the message which wee haue heard of him, and declare vnto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkenes.
Aya ngemakani ngitwakamvwa kulinguwe ngitwamwambila: Leza mumuuni, alimwi mulinguwe tamukwe mudima abunini pe.
6 If wee say that wee haue fellowship with him, and walke in darkenesse, we lie, and doe not truely:
Kuti katwamba kuti tulabulidilano anguwe pele katwenda mumudima, tulikubeja alimwi tatuchiti bwini pe.
7 But if we walke in the light as he is in the light, we haue fellowship one with another, and the blood of Iesus Christ his Sonne clenseth vs from all sinne.
Pele kuti katwenda mumumuni mbuli mbwali mumumuni we, tulabulidilano umwi awumwi, alimwi bulowa bwa Jesu Mwana wakwe bulatusalazya kuzwa kuzibi zyoonse.
8 If we say that we haue no sinne, we deceiue our selues, and trueth is not in vs.
Kuti twati tatukwe chibi, tulikulyeena lwesu, alimwi bwini tabumo pe mulindiswe.
9 If we acknowledge our sinnes, he is faithfull and iust, to forgiue vs our sinnes, and to clense vs from all vnrighteousnes.
Pele kuti twalyaamba zibi zyesu, ulisyomekede akululama kutulekelela zibi zyesu akutusalazya kuzwa kukutalulama koonse.
10 If wee say we haue not sinned, wee make him a liar, and his word is not in vs.
Kuti twaati taakwe nitwakabisya, twamuchita mubeji, aboobo ijwi lyakwe talimo pe muli ndiswe.
