1 John 3
1 See what love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God; because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
Amubone luyando Taata ndwakatupa, kuti tuteegwa tulibana baLeza, ino mbombubo mbotubede. Akaambo aka nyika titwiizi, nkambo teyakamuziba pe. Zimwi zyensiku zipati zililembedwe muchiGiliki zilasiya eezi, ezi nzizyo nzituli nzizyo.
2 Beloved, now, we are children of God, and it was not yet revealed what we will be. We have known that if He may have appeared, we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is;
Nomuyandwa, lino twaba bana ba Leza, alimwi tazina yubununwa nzituyooba nzizyo. Tulizi kuti Kkilisito apamuka, tuyooba mbuli nguwe, nkambo tuyomubona mbubonya mbuli mbwabede.
3 and everyone who is having this hope on Him, purifies himself, even as He is pure.
Woonse ujisi bulangizi obu mulinguwe ulalisalazya mbubonya mbuuli mbwasalala we lwakwe.
4 Everyone who is doing sin, he also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,
Woonse uubisya ulimukuchita nchito zitali mumulawu, nkambo chibi nkutaba mumulawu.
5 and you have known that He appeared that He may take away our sins, and sin is not in Him;
Mulizi kuti Kkilisito wakayubununwa kuchitila kuti agwisye zibi, alimwi mulinguwe tamukwe chibi pe.
6 everyone who is remaining in Him does not sin; everyone who is sinning, has not seen Him, nor known Him.
Taakwe ukkalilila mulinguwe uyoyinkilila kunembo kabisya. Tawope wakamubona akumuziba uyinkilila kunembo akubisya.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous,
Nobana, mutalekeli muntu naba omwe kuti amuzulwide mukusweeka. Ooyo uuchita bululami uliluleme, mbubonya Kkilisito mbwaluleme.
8 he who is doing sin, he is of the Devil, because the Devil sins from the beginning; for this [reason] the Son of God appeared, that He may undo the works of the Devil;
Oyo uchita chibi uzwa kuli dyabulosi, nkambo dyabulosi wakabisya kuzwa kumatalikilo. Akambo aka Mwana wa Leza wakayubununwa, kuchitila kuti anyoonyone milimu yadyabulosi.
9 everyone who has been begotten of God, he does not sin, because His seed remains in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been begotten of God.
Ooyo iwakazyalwa kuzwa kwa Leza tayinkilili kunembo kabisya pe, nkambo imbuto ya Leza ikkalilide mulinguwe. Takonzyi kwinkililila kunembo kabisya nkambo wakazyalwa a Leza.
10 In this are revealed the children of God, and the children of the Devil; everyone who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,
Muleezi bana ba Leza abana ba dyabulosi balayubununwa. Kufumbwa uutachiti ziluleme tazwi kwa-Leza, nikuba ooyo utayandi munyina.
11 because this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we may love one another,
Aaya ngimakani ngimwakamvwa kuzwa kumatalikilo: Tweelede kuyandana umwi awumwi,
12 not as Cain—he was of the evil one, and he slew his brother. And for [what] reason did he slay him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother [were] righteous.
tatwelede kuba mbuli Kkayini, wakazwide kumubi alimwi wakajaya munyina. Ino wakamujilaanzi? Nkambo milimu yakwe yakali mibi ino yamunyiina kiluleme.
13 Do not wonder, my brothers, if the world hates you;
Mutagambi, nobakwesu, na inyika yamusula.
14 we have known that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers; he who is not loving [his] brother remains in death.
Tulizi kuti twakiinda kuzwa mulufu akunjila mubuumi, nkambo tulabayanda bakwesu, oyo utakonzyi kuyanda ukkalilide mulufu.
15 Everyone who is hating his brother is a manslayer, and you have known that no manslayer has continuous life remaining in him; (aiōnios g166)
Kufumbwa uusula munyina mujayi. Mulizi kuti taakwe mujayi ulaabuumi butamani pe bukkede mulinguwe. (aiōnios g166)
16 in this we have known love, because He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brothers;
Aazezi mbutulwizi luyando, nkambo Kkilisito wakatulazikila buumi bwakwe aansi. Aswebo twelede kulazikila babunyina buumi bwesu aansi.
17 and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his yearnings from him—how does the love of God remain in him?
Pele kufumbwa uujisi zintu zyenyika, nabona munyina uubulide, wamujalila moyo waluzyalo, ino luyando lwa Leza lukkalilila byeni muli nguwe?
18 My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in work and in truth!
Bana bangu, luyando lwenu lutabi lwamajwi biyo na kuti alulimi biyo, pele munchiito amubwini.
19 And in this we know that we are of the truth, and before Him we will assure our hearts,
Mukuchita boobu nitutazibe kuti tuzwa kubwini, alimwi tusimya myoyo yesu kunembo lyakwe.
20 because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He knows all things.
Na kuti myoyo yesu kitusowa, Leza mupati kwinda myoyo yesu, alimwi ulizi zintu zyoonse.
21 Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,
Nomuyandwa, kuti myoyo yesu kitatusowi, tulabulangizi kuli Leza.
22 and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commands, and we do the things pleasing before Him,
Kufumbwa nzitukumbila tulazitambula kuzwa kuli nguwe, nkambo tuliibamba milawu yakwe akuchita zintu zimubotelezya.
23 and this is His command, that we may believe in the Name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He gave command to us,
Oyu ngomulawu wakwe: kuti tusyome muzina lya Mwana wakwe Jesu Kkilisito alimwi tuyandane umwi awumwi, mbubonya mbuli mbwakapa mulawu oyu.
24 and he who is keeping His commands, remains in Him, and He in him; and in this we know that He remains in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.
Ooyo uubamba milawu ya Leza wakkalilila muli nguwe. Nkaambo kazeezi tulizi kuti ulakkalilila muli ndiswe, kwinda mu Muuya ngwakatupa swebo.
