1 John 3
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has given us in allowing us to be called "Children of God!" And that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not know him.
Mulangai ni luganu lya namna gani atupelili tata, kuj'ha twikutibhwa bhana bha K'yara, na naha ndo kyataj'hele. Kwa ndabha Obho bhulimwengu bhutumanyilepi kwa kuj'ha ghwammnyidumu muene.
2 We are God’s children now, beloved; what we shall be has never yet been made manifest. But we know that when he is manifested we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.
Bhaganwa tete henu ndo bhana bha K'yara na j'hidhihiri kilepi bado jinsi kyatubetakuj'ha. Tumanyili kuj'ha kristu paibeta kubhonekana tukufuatana na numuene, kwani twibetakumbona kama kyaaj'hele.
3 And every one who is holding this hope in him is purifying himself, even as he is pure.
Na kilammonga ambaj'he aj'he ni bhubisisya obho kuhusu bhwakati bhwa bhwihida bhwabhaij'he lakisibhu kwa muene, ikwij'hosya muene kama muene kya api'hele n'takatifu.
4 Every one who commits sin commits also lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
Kila munu j'haij'hendelela kubhomba sambi ibomola Sheria. Kwa ndabha sambi ndo bhubomolaji bhwa Sheria.
5 And you know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.
Mmanyili Kristu adhalilishibhu ili kusibhosya sambi kabisa. Na mugati mwake kuj'helepi ni sambi.
6 Whoever continually abides in him does not habitually sin; whoever lives in sin has not seen him, nor come to know him.
Aj'helepi hata mmonga j'haidumu mugati mwake ni kuj'hendelela kubhomba sambi. Aj'helepi munu ata mmonga j'haidumu mu sambi ikaj'helayi ambwene au kummanya muene.
7 My children, let no one deceive you; he who is working righteousness is righteous, just as he is righteous.
Bhana bhaghanwa, mkata kuj'hendekela kupotosibhwa ni munu j'hoj'hioha j'hela. J'ha ibhomba haki ndo n'kolo haki, Kama vile Kristu muene kyaaj'hele ni haki.
8 He who is committing sin is of the devil, because from the beginning of the devil is sinning. It was for this cause that the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
J'haibhomba sambi ndo ghwaibilisi, kwandabha ibilisi ndo mmbomba sambi kuh'omela kubhwandelu. Kwa ndabha ej'he mwana ghwa K'yara adhalilishibhu ili abhwesiagha kusyonanga mbombo sya ibilisi.
9 Whoever is a child of God cannot go on sinning, because his seed is abiding in him; and he cannot go on sinning because he is a child of God.
j'hoj'hioha j'hola j'haahogoliki ni K'yara ibhombalepi sambi, kwandabha mbegu j'ha K'yara j'hi tama mugati mwake. Ibhwesyalepi kuj'hendelela kubhomba sambi kwandabha ahogoliki nu K'yara.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil; for every one who does not work righteousness is not a child of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
Katika e'le bhana bha K'yara ni bhana bha ibilisi bhimanyikana. j'hoj'hioha j'haibhomba kyakij'hele Kya haki, ghwa K'yara lepi, bhwala j'hola ambaj'he ibhwesyalepi kun'gana ndogo munu.
11 For this is the message that you have listened to from the beginning, "WE ARE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER."
Kwani obho ndo bhujumbe ambagho mughup'heliki kuh'omela kubhwandu, kuj'ha twilondeka kuganana yoti kwa yoti,
12 We are not to be like Cain, who belonged to the Evil One, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? It was because his own deeds were evil, and his brother’s, righteous.
sio kama kaini ambaj'he aj'hele mwovu na an'komili ndongo munu. Na kwandabha j'hakiki an'komili? Kwandabha matendo ghake ghaj'hele maovu, ni gha ndogomunu ghaj'hele gha haki.
13 Do not wonder, brothers, if the world continues to hate you.
Bhalongo bhangu, Mkatakusyangala, kama bhulimwengu ubekubhadadila.
14 We know that we have migrated, out of death into life, because we love our brothers. He who has no love is abiding in death.
Tumanyili tumalili kuhoma mu mauti ni kuj'hingila mu bhusima, kwandabha tubhaganili bhalongo. J'hoj'hioha ambaj'he aduli luganu idumu mu mauti.
15 Every one who is hating his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
Munu j'hej'hioha j'haikan'dadila ndogomunu ndo nkomi. Na mmanyili kuj'ha bhusima bhwa milele bhwitama lepi mugati mwa nkomi. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we learn to know love, because he laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
Mu e'le tulimanyili luganu, kwa ndabha Kristu ahomisye bhuhai bhwake kwa ndabha j'hitu.
17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and beholds his brother in need, and shuts up his heart against him, how can the love of God continue to abide in him?
Natu twilondeka kughabhosya maisha ghitu kwa ndabha j'ha bhukamu. Lakini j'hoj'hioha j'ha aj'hele ni fenu, na akambona ndongo munu j'ha aj'he ni bhuhitaji, lakini akabhubesya n'tama ghwake bhwa huruma kwandabha j'hiake: je, luganu lwa K'yara bhwitama bhuli mugati mwa muene?
18 My children, let us not love in word nor in talk, but in deed and in truth.
Bhana bhangu bhaganwa, tusigani kwa milomo bhwala kwa malobhi mat'opu bali mu fitendo ni bhukweli.
19 By this we shall come to know that we are really of the truth,
Mu e'le tumanyili kuj'ha tete tuj'hele mu bhukweli, ni miteema ghitu j'hithibitika kwa muene.
20 and shall persuade our heart in his presence whenever our heart condemns us, because God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
Ikajhiayi Kama mi'teema ghitu j'hikatuhukumu, K'yara ndo m'baha kuliko miteema ghitu, ni muene imanya mambo ghoha.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have confidence toward God,
Bhapenzi, Kama mi'teema ghitu ghibelepikuhukumu tuj'hele ni bhusisya kwa K'yara.
22 and whatever we ask we are receiving from him, because we are keeping his commandments and doing those things that are pleasing in his sight.
Na kyokyoha kyatwis'oma tubelakukij'hamb'elela kuh'omela kwa muene kwa ndabha tukasikamula amri syake na twibhomba mambo ghaghipendasya pamihu pake.
23 His commandment is this, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another as he has commanded us to do.
Na e'j'he ndo amri j'hiake j'ha kuj'ha twilondeka kukyera mu lihina lya mwanabha Yesu Kristu ni kuganana tete kwa tete Kama Kya atupelili amri syake.
24 He who keeps his commandments is abiding in Him, and Christ in him. By this we know that Christ is abiding in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.
j'ha ikasitii kya amri syake idumu mugati mwake, ni K'yara itama mugati mwake. Na kwandabha ej'he tumanyili kuj'ha itama mugati mwitu, kwa j'hola Roho j'haatupelili.
