1 John 3
1 See what kind of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God; and we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know him.
Tarirai kuti rudo rwakadini Baba rwavakatipa, kuti tinzi vana vaMwari. Nekuda kwaizvozvi nyika haitizivi, nokuti haina kumuziva iye.
2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. We know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.
Vadikanwi, ikozvino tiri vana vaMwari, uye zvichigere kuratidzwa kuti tichazovei. Asi tinoziva kuti kana achizoratidzwa, tichafanana naye; nokuti tichamuona sezvaakaita.
3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Uye umwe neumwe ane tariro iyi maari anozvichenesa, sezvaakachena iye.
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
Umwe neumwe anoita chivi anoitawo kusava nemurairo; uye chivi ndiko kusava nemurairo.
5 You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and in him is no sin.
Uye munoziva kuti iye wakaratidzwa kuti abvise zvivi zvedu; uye zvivi hazvimo maari.
6 Whoever remains in him does not sin. Whoever sins hasn't seen him, neither knows him.
Ani nani anogara maari haatadzi; ani nani anotadza haana kumuona, kana kumuziva.
7 Children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Vana vadiki, kusava neanokunyengerai; uyo anoita kururama wakarurama, saiye akarurama;
8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.
uyo anoita chivi anobva kuna dhiabhorosi, nokuti dhiabhorosi anotadza kubva pakutanga. Nechikonzero ichi Mwanakomana waMwari wakaratidzwa kuti aparadze mabasa adhiabhorosi.
9 Whoever is born of God does not commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Ani nani wakaberekwa naMwari haaiti chivi, nokuti mbeu yake inogara maari; zvino haagoni kutadza, nokuti wakaberekwa naMwari.
10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever does not do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who does not love his brother.
Mune izvozvi vana vaMwari nevana vadhiabhorosi vanoratidzwa; ani nani asingaiti zvakarurama haabvi kuna Mwari, neasingadi hama yake.
11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;
Nokuti iri ndiro shoko ramakanzwa kubva pakutanga, kuti tidanane;
12 unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
kwete saKaini wakabva kune wakaipa, ndokuuraya munin'ina wake. Zvino wakamuurayirei? Nokuti mabasa ake akange akaipa, asi emunin'ina wake akange akarurama.
13 Therefore do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
Musashamisika, hama dzangu, kana nyika ichikuvengai.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love remains in death.
Isu tinoziva kuti takapfuura murufu tikapinda muupenyu, nokuti tinoda hama. Asingadi hama anogara murufu.
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has everlasting life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
Ani nani anovenga hama yake imhondi; uye munoziva kuti hakutongorina mhondi ine upenyu husingaperi hunogara mairi. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
Neizvi tinoziva rudo rwaMwari, nokuti iye wakatiradzikira pasi upenyu hwake; nesu tinofanira kuradzikira pasi hama upenyu.
17 But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him?
Asi ani nani ane nhumbi dzenyika, uye achiona hama yake ichishaiwa, ndokumupfigira tsitsi dzake, rudo rwaMwari rwunogara sei maari?
18 Little children, let us not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
Vana vangu vadiki, ngatirege kuda pashoko kana parurimi, asi pazviito nepachokwadi.
19 And by this we will know that we are of the truth, and persuade our heart before him,
Uye neizvi tinoziva kuti tiri vechokwadi, uye tichavimbisa moyo yedu pamberi pake.
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Nokuti kana moyo wedu uchitipa mhosva, Mwari mukuru kumoyo wedu, uye anoziva zvinhu zvese.
21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;
Vadikanwi, kana moyo wedu usingatipi mhosva, tine chivimbo pamberi paMwari;
22 and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
uye chipi nechipi chatinokumbira, tinogamuchira kubva kwaari, nokuti tinochengeta mirairo yake, uye tinoita zvinhu zvinofadza pamberi pake.
23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded us.
Uye uyu ndiwo murairo wake, kuti titende kuzita reMwanakomana wake Jesu Kristu, uye tidanane, sezvaakatipa murairo.
24 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
Uye uyo anochengeta mirairo yake anogara maari, naiye maari. Neizviwo tinoziva kuti anogara matiri, kubva paMweya waakatipa.
