1 John 1
1 It is of what has existed from the beginning, of what we have listened to, of what we have seen with our own eyes, of what we have witnessed and touched with our own heads, it is concerning the Logos of Life that we are now writing.
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 And the Life was made visible, and we have seen it and are bearing witness, and are bringing you word of that Eternal Life which was face to face with the Father and was made visible to 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 It is what we have seen and heard that we are announcing to you, in order that you also may have partnership with us; and our partnership 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 we are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.
Hape, tu miñolela izi zintu kwenu nji kuti kusanga kwetu ku izuzilizwe.
5 This, then, is the message that we have heard from him, and are announcing to you, that God is light, and no darkness what ever is in him.
Uwu nji mulaezo utu va zuwi kwali mi wi ziviswa kwenu: Ireza i seli, mi mwali kakwina nanta chi nzime.
6 If we say, "We have partnership with Him," when we are passing our life in the darkness, we are lying and are not doing 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 is we are passing our life in the light, as he is in the light, we ever have partnership with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ is cleansing us from every 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, "We have no sin," we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
Heva tuwamba kuti katwina chivi, tu li chenga tuvene, mi vu niti ka vwina mwetu.
9 But if we confess our sins, faithful is he and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all wrong-doing.
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, "We have not sinned," we are making 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.
