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.
Lutala phila luzolo lutuzodila Tata muingi tutedolo bana ba Nzambi. Ayi buawu bobo tuididi. Diawu nza yisi ku tuzaba ko mu diambu yisia kunzaba ko.
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;
Bakiluzolo, buabu tueka bana ba Nzambi. Phila tuela bela yimonikini ko. Muaki tuzebi ti mu thangu kela monika, tuela dedakana banga niandi bila tuela kummona boso bu kadidi.
3 and everyone who is having this hope on Him, purifies himself, even as He is pure.
Woso beki diana diodi mu niandi, buna wulembo kukivedisa banganiandi veka bu kadidi wuvedila.
4 Everyone who is doing sin, he also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,
Woso wumvanganga masumu buna muina kabundudi bila masumu mansundula: mbundudulu yi muina.
5 and you have known that He appeared that He may take away our sins, and sin is not in Him;
Muaki beno luzebi ti niandi wumonika muingi kabotula masumu metoayi kadi disumu disi ko mu niandi.
6 everyone who is remaining in Him does not sin; everyone who is sinning, has not seen Him, nor known Him.
Woso mutu widi mu niandi kavanganga masumu ko; woso wumvanganga masumu kasia kummona ko ayi kasia kunzaba ko.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous,
Bana, mutu kabika kuluzimbisa: woso wumvanganga busonga buna niandi widi wusonga banga niandi bu kadidi wusonga.
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;
Woso wumvanganga masumu niandi mutu wu satana bila tonavana thonono satana kisalu kiandi volanga masumu. Kiawu kiodi bila Muana Nzambi kamonikina mu diambu kabunga mavanga ma satana.
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.
Woso mutu wubutu kuidi Nzambi kavolanga masumu ko bila mambu ma Nzambi madi mu niandi; ayi kalendi vola masumu ko bila Nzambi wumbuta.
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,
Vawu vava vadi luviakunu lu bana ba Nzambi ayi bana ba satana: woso wunkambu vanganga busonga ayi woso wunkambu zolanga khombꞌandi kasi muana Nzambi ko.
11 because this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we may love one another,
Mawu mama mambu luwa tona vana thonono: bika tuzolasananga beto na beto;
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.
bika sia ti banga Kayini, wuba mutu wu pheve yimbimbi, wuvonda khombꞌandi. A bila mbi kamvondila e? Mu diambu mavanga mandi maba mambimbi vayi momo ma khombꞌandi maba masonga.
13 Do not wonder, my brothers, if the world hates you;
A zinkomba ziama, lubika simina enati nza yilulendidi.
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.
Beto, tuzebi ti tuvioka ku luzingu bu tuba ku lufua mu diambu tueti zola bakhomba. Woso wunkambu zolanga khombꞌandi buna widi mu lufua.
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)
Woso wunlendanga khombꞌandi buna niandi mvondi ayi luzebi kueno ti kadi mvondi wumosi kalendi tambula ko luzingu lu kalumani. (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;
Mu diadi tuzabila luzolo: niandi wuyekula luzingu luandi mu diambudieto. Ayi beto, tufueti yekula luzingu lueto mu diambu di bakhomba.
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?
Vayi woso beki bima bi nza yayi ayi mueni khombꞌandi widi nzala vayi kengi ntimꞌandi; buna buevi luzolo lu Nzambi luididi mu niandi e?
18 My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in work and in truth!
Bana, tubika monisina luzolo mu mambu matuba kaka voti va mbata ludimi vayi tumonisa luzolo mu mavanga ayi mu kiedika.
19 And in this we know that we are of the truth, and before Him we will assure our hearts,
Mu diambu diadi tuela zabila ti tuidi mu kiedika ayi tuela kindisila mintima mieto va ntualꞌandi:
20 because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He knows all things.
enati mintima mieto milembo kutubedisa vayi Nzambi lutidi mintima mieto mu bunneni ayi niandi zebi mambu moso.
21 Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,
Bakiluzolo, enati mintima mikadi kutubedisa buna tuidi bakindava ntuala Nzambi.
22 and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commands, and we do the things pleasing before Him,
Ayi kioso kuandi tunlomba, tuela kitambula kuidi niandi mu diambutunkebanga zithumunu ziandi ayi tumvanganga mambu makumonisanga khini.
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,
Lutumunu luandi luawu lualu: tuwilukila mu dizina di Muanꞌandi Yesu Klisto ayi tuzolasananga beto na beto banga niandi veka bu katuvanina lutumunu.
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.
Ayi woso wunkebanga zithumunu ziandi buna widi wukangama mu Nzambi ayi Nzambi widi mu mutu beni. Ayi mu diadi tuzabidi ti Nzambi widi mu beto: mu Pheve yi katuvana.
