1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
China chivena kuma tangilo-chi tu vazuwi, chi tuva voni ni menso etu, chi tuva loli hateni, mi etu mayanza ava kwati- kuya kache nzwi lya vuhalo.
2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us; ) (aiōnios g166)
Hape, vuhalo vuve zi vankaniswa, mi tuva vu voni, mi twina vupaki vwaza teni. Twi zi vahaza kwenu za vuhalo vu ya kule, vu vena ni Tayo, mi vu ve zibahazwa kwe tu. (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
China chitu va voni ni ku zuwa tu chi wamba kwenu nanwe, nji kuti nanwe muve ni chilikani na swe. Chi likani chetu china ni Tayo ni mwana kwe, Jesu Kirisite.
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
Hape, tu miñolela izi zintu kwenu nji kuti kusanga kwetu ku izuzilizwe.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Uwu nji mulaezo utu va zuwi kwali mi wi ziviswa kwenu: Ireza i seli, mi mwali kakwina nanta chi nzime.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
Heva ni tu wamba kuti twina chilikani na ye mi ni tu yenda mwi chi nzime, tu chenga mi ka tu likanyisi bu niti.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Kono haiva ni tu yenda mwi seli sina iye hena mwi seli, twina chilikani ni zumwi ni zumwi, mi malaha a Jesu Mwana kwe a tu joloza ku chivi chonse.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Heva tuwamba kuti katwina chivi, tu li chenga tuvene, mi vu niti ka vwina mwetu.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Kono ha tuli wamba zivi zetu, u sepahala ni kuluka kuku tu wondela zivi zetu mi ni ku tu joloza mu ku sa luka kwetu konse.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Heva nitu ta kuti ka twini ku chita chivi, tu mu panga kuti ave muchengi, mi inzwi lyakwe ka lina mwetu.
