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.
Su muloli Tati ntambu yakatufiriti nentu ata tushemwa wana wa Mlungu. Nakaka ndo ntambu yatuwera. Mana wantu wa pasipanu watumana ndiri twenga, toziya womberi wamumaniti ndiri Mlungu.
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.
Waganja wangu, vinu twenga tuwera wana wa Mlungu, kumbiti hayeniwoneki paweru ntambu hatuweri. Kumbiti tuvimana kuwera Kristu pakalawira, hatulifani nayomberi toziya hatumwoni ntambu yakawera.
3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Kila muntu yakawera na matumbiru aga mu Kristu, su kalipungi mweni gambira Kristu ntambu yakawera mnanagala.
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
Kila muntu yakatenda vidoda kalilema Lilagaliru lya Mlungu, toziya kutenda vidoda ndo kuhalibisiya Malagaliru ga Mlungu.
5 You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and in him is no sin.
Mwenga muvimana kuwera Kristu kiziti su kawusiyi vidoda na kwahera vidoda mngati mwakuwi.
6 Whoever remains in him does not sin. Whoever sins hasn't seen him, neither knows him.
Su kila yakalikolerana pamuhera na Kristu, hapeni kendereyi kutenda vidoda, kumbiti kila muntu yakendereya kutenda vidoda hakenipati ng'o kumwona ama kumumana Kristu.
7 Children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Su wana wangu, namumjimira muntu yoseri kawapayili! Muntu yakatenda matendu yagamfiriziya Mlungu, yomberi kafiriziwa na Mlungu gambira Kristu ntambu yakafiriziwa na Mlungu.
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.
Muntu yakendereya kutenda vidoda kawera gwa Mkondola, toziya Mkondola katenditi vidoda kwanjira kwanja. Kumbiti Mwana gwa Mlungu kiziti pasipanu kugahalabisiya mahengu ga Mkondola.
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.
Kila muntu yakawera mwana gwa Mlungu hapeni kendereyi kutendi vidoda, toziya ukomu wa Mlungu ulikala mngati mwakuwi, yomberi hapeni kendereyi kutenda vidoda toziya kawera mwana gwa Mlungu.
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.
Kwantambu ayi tuweza kuwamana wana wa Mlungu na viraa kuwamana wana wa Mkondola. Muntu yoseri yakamfiriziya ndiri Mlungu na muntu yakamfira ndiri mlongu gwakuwi, womberi wawera ndiri wana wa Mlungu.
11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;
Na ujumbi yamuwupikaniriti kwanjira kwanja ndo awu, tulifiri twaweni kwa twaweni.
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.
Natuwera gambira Kaini yakaweriti gwa Mkondola ulii, yakamlagiti mupusi gwakuwi. Kwa ntambu gaa kamlagiti? Toziya matendu gakuwi gaweriti makondola, kumbiti matendu galii ga mlongu gwakuwi gaweriti ga kumfiriziya Mlungu.
13 Therefore do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
Walongu wangu, namulikangasha handa wantu wa pasipanu pawakalalira mwenga.
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.
Twenga tuvimana kuwera tupita kala mukuhowa na twingira muwukomu, toziya twankuwafira walongu wetu. Kila muntu yakahera ufiru kankusigala mukuhowa.
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has everlasting life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
Kila muntu yakamkalalira mlongu gwakuwi kawera mlaga na mwenga muvimana kuwera mlaga yoseri ulii kahera ukomu wa mashaka goseri mngati mwakuwi. (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.
Kwa ntambu ayi twenga tuvimana ufiru wa Mlungu, toziya Yesu Kristu kagalaviyiti makaliru gakuwi kwajili yatwenga. Na twenga viraa vilii tufiruwa kugalaviya makaliru getu kwajili ya walongu wetu.
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?
Su muntu pakawera na lunda zya pasipanu, shakapanu pakamwona mlongu gwakuwi kamuhushu, kumbiti kamwonera ndiri lusungu, muntu ayu kaweza hashi kulonga kuwera kana ufiru wa Mlungu mngati mwakuwi?
18 Little children, let us not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
Wana wangu, natufira kwa visoweru hera kumbiti tufiri kwa matendu na muwunakaka.
19 And by this we will know that we are of the truth, and persuade our heart before him,
Hangu ndo ntambu yatuweza kuvimana kuwera twenga tuwera wantu wanakaka, su hapeni tutili kulongolu kwa Mlungu.
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Ata myoyu yetu payitutoza, tuvimana kuwera Mlungu ndo mkulu kuliku myoyu yetu, na kamana kila shintu.
21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;
Walongu wangu, handa myoyu yetu payitutoza ndiri, su twenga hapeni tutili kulongolu kwa Mlungu,
22 and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
na kwanka shoseri shatuluwa, toziya tugajimira malagaliru gakuwi na kutenda galii yagamfiriziya.
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.
Na lilagaliru lyakuwi ndo ali, kumjimira Mwana gwakuwi Yesu Kristu na kulifira twenga kwa twenga gambira mweni ntambu yakatulagaliriti.
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.
Muntu yakagajimira malagaliru ga Mlungu, yomberi kankulikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na Mlungu na Mlungu kankulikala mukulikolerana pamuhera nayomberi. Twenga tuvimana kuwera Mlungu kankulikala mukulikolerana pamuhera natwenga kupitira Rohu Mnanagala yakatupananiti.
