1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of Life—
Chelo chakibile tangu mwanzo-chelo chatukiyowine, chelo tukibweni kwa minyo yitu, chelo chatukilolekeya, na maboko yitu iyomwike-kuhusu neno lya ukoto.
2 and the Life appeared, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the continuous Life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us— (aiōnios g166)
Na wolo ukoto upangite kutangika wazi, na tuubweni, na kuushuhudia, na kubatangulizia ukoto wa milele, ambao ubile kwa Tate na upangika kuyowanika kwitu. (aiōnios g166)
3 we declare to you that which we have seen and heard, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ;
Chelo chatukibweni na kukipekania twakitangaza kwinu kae, ili panga muweze kwembana pamope natwee, na ushirika witu pamope na Tate na mwana wake Yesu Kristo.
4 and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.
Na twabaandikia makowe aga ili panga puraha yitu ibe timilifu.
5 And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness is not in Him at all;
Awoo nga ujumbe twatiupekania boka kwake na kubatangazia: Nnongo ni bweya na nkati yake ntopo libendo hata nchunu.
6 if we may say, “We have fellowship with Him,” and may walk in the darkness—we lie, and do not [speak] the truth;
Mana twabaya panga tubile na ushirika niywembe na twatyanga mulibendo, twalongela ubocho na twapanga kwaa ukweli.
7 and if we may walk in the light, as He is in the light—we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of His Son Jesus Christ cleanses us from every sin;
Lakini twatyanga katika bweya mana ibile katika bweya, twashirikiana twenga kwa twenga, na myai ya Yesu Kristo, mwana wake yatitutakasa boka sambi yote.
8 if we may say, “We have no sin,” we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us;
Mana twabaya ntopo sambi, twaibocholea twabene, na kweli ibile kwaa nkati yitu.
9 if we may confess our sins, He is steadfast and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;
Lakini tukizitubu sambi zetu, ywembe ni mwaminifu na haki kutusamiya sambi yitu na kututakasa na ubou woti.
10 if we may say, “We have not sinned,” we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
Tukibaya panga twapanga kwaa sambi, twampanga ywembe kuwa mbocho, na neno lyake libile kwaa nkati yake.
