< 1 Yochanan 1 >
1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life
Mambu momo maba vana thonono, momo tuwa, momo tumona mu mesometo, momo tutala ayi momo tusimba mu mioko mieto, momo matedi mambu mamvananga luzingu mawu tueti samuna.
2 (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us); (aiōnios )
Luzingu lutotuka. Beto tumona luawu ayi tulembo yolukila luawu ayi lulembo kulusanunina luzingu lu kalumani, lolo luba kuidi Tata ayi lolobatumonisa. (aiōnios )
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you also, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus (the) Messiah.
Momo tumona ayi tuwa mawu tukulusamunina muingi beno mamveno luba mu kithuadi ayi beto; muaki kithuadi kieto kidi mu Tata ayi mu muanꞌandi Yesu Klisto.
4 And we write these things, that our joy may be fulfilled.
Ayi tulusonikini mambu mama mu diambu di khini eno yiba yiduka.
5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Tala mawu mama mambu tuwa kuidi niandi ayi tulembo kulusamunina: Nzambi widi kiezila ayi mu niandi muisi kadi tombi ko.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not tell the truth.
Enati tulembo tubi ti tuidi mu kithuadi ayi niandi vayi tulembodiatila mu tombi, buna tulembu vuni ayi tusadilanga kiedika ko.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
Vayi enati tundiatila mu kiezila banga niandi veka bukadidi mu kiezila, buna tuidi mu kithuadi kimosi ayi buna menga ma Yesu Klisto, muanꞌandi, meti kutuvedisa mu moso ka masumu.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Enati tulembo tubi ti tuisi ko masumu, buna tulembo kukivuni beto veka ayi kiedika kisi ko mu beto.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Muaki enati tulembo kikinina masumu meto, niandi widi wukuikamaayi wusonga mu kutulemvukilanga masumu meto ayi mu kutuvedisa mu yoso ka mbimbi.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Enati tulembo tubi ti tuisia vola ko masumu; buna tulembo kitula Nzambi nkua luvunu ayi mambu mandi masi ko mu beto.
