1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we looked upon, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life,
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 manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and announce to you the everlasting life, which was with the Father, and was manifested 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 that which we have seen and heard we announce to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship 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 these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.
Hape, tu miñolela izi zintu kwenu nji kuti kusanga kwetu ku izuzilizwe.
5 And 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.
Uwu nji mulaezo utu va zuwi kwali mi wi ziviswa kwenu: Ireza i seli, mi mwali kakwina nanta chi nzime.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not 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 if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all 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 that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Heva tuwamba kuti katwina chivi, tu li chenga tuvene, mi vu niti ka vwina mwetu.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
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 that we have not sinned, we make 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.
