1 John 3
1 Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God: and [such] we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Mulole vuvuvagane vuki uwatupile Udaada, ukuta tukhwelangiwa vana va Nguluve, nulu vutuliwe. Ukhukhongana niel ikilunga sakhitu manyile ulwakuva sakhikhamanye umwene.
2 Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.
Vagane ufwe lino tulivana va Nguluve ulu yikhale ukhuvoneka umuyakhile tuvela. Tlumanyile ukhuta ukleste yakhima ivinekha yatukywanana numwene. Ulwakuva yatukummbona umwavelile.
3 And every one that hath this hope [set] on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Khilamunu uvyalienuvukhifu uvu kwu nsiekhe ugulonchiwe khumwene, ikhevalancha umwene nduvu avalile umwene imbalanche.
4 Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness: and sin is lawlessness.
Khila munu uvikhunchivomba imbivi idenya indagilo. Ulwakuva imbivi kwukwudenya indangielo.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.
Mulumanyile ukilisti avonike ukhuta anchihenche imbivi. Mugaati mumwene mulienchila mbivi. Asikhuli nayuma uvikhiyu mieincha ngaati mumwene nukunchivomba imbivi.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him.
Asikhuli umunu uvikhiyumielincha mumbivi ingave ambwene umwene apange amanyile.
7 [My] little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous:
Mwivana mwivagane muliedikhaga ukhusiyoviwa numi. Uvivombo ielweli alienielweli, nduve ukliste vope alienielweli.
8 he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Uvivomba imbivi uywa va ntavangwa, ulwakuva untavangwa ivomba imbivi ukhuhuma kuvutengulielo kutale. Ulwakuva kunjiela eiye umwana va Nguluve avoneke ukuta anchi nange imbombo nchutavangwa.
9 Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God.
Uviaholiwe nu Nguluve sivomba imbivi, ulwakuva eimbeyu ya Nguluve yietama mugaati mumwene. Sakhawesye ukuvomba imbivi ulwakuva aholiwe nu Nguluve.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Mu eile avana va Nguluve na vana va ntavangwa. vimanyanyakhikha. Vie voni uvisivomba ikyayilweli a vanguluve, nula uviesikugaana ulukololwe.
11 For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:
Ulwnkuva uvu vuvufumbwe uwatupulikhe ukhuhuma kuvutengulilo, utakuta panogile ukughana yufwe kwa yufwe.
12 not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
Sayieihine ndu kweili uviale vambivi akabudi kwa lukololwe. Khiki ambudile? Ulwakuva imbombo cha mwene nchale mbivi; Ni mbombo nchila incha lukololwe nchale nchayilweli.
13 Marvel not, brethren, if the world hateth you.
Valulokololwango, mulekhe ukugangalukha, khingave iekhilunga khikhuvavipila.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death.
Tulumanyile ukhuta tuhumile mumbufwe nukwingiele mumbwumi, ulwakuva tuvaganile avalukhololwetu. Uviavenchaga inchila lugano inchiga mumbufwe.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
Umunu uviavenchaga angave ikhunkalalila ulukhololwe imbudi. Mulumanyile ukhuta uwumi wasikhunchoni savutama mumunu umbudi. (aiōnios g166)
16 Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Mu eile tulumanyile ulugano ulwakhuva ukuklisti aihuminche uwumi wa mwene pakhutupoka ufwe. Nayufwe panogile ukwihumya ukhuvatanga avalukhololweitu.
17 But whoso hath the world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?
Uviavenchaga eingave alinifiu ikhumbona ulukhololwe va mwene, uvialinchifinu, pwu inumbula iyamwene sayikhumbonela ikhisa, pwu ulugano lwa Nguluve vutama ndakhikhi mumwene?
18 [My] little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.
Vagane vana vango, tulekhe ukhuganana khumilomo na mamenyuanganyavuvule, tugaanage mumbombo na muyielweli.
19 Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him,
Mu eili tulumanyile ukhuta uywe tulimuayielweli, ninumbula nchieto nchievonikhe mumwene.
20 whereinsoever our heart condemn us; because God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Ingave inumbula nchieto nchiekhutuliega, Unguluve imbaha ukhulutiliela inumbula nchietu, nu mwene anchiemanyile nchooni.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God;
Vagaane einave inumbula nchieto sanchiekhutuhiga tulienuwakifu kwa Nguluve.
22 and whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
Khiukyoni ikyutudoova tukyupilila ukhuhuma khumwene, ulwakhuva tukwibata indagilo ncha mwene nukhuvoomba inchienogile pamiho gamwene.
23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment.
Nulu lyulu lagilo lwa mweene-ukhuta panogile ukwideekha munditawa lya mweene Uyeesu Kriste nu khuganana yufwe kwa yufwe nduvuatupile ululagilo lwa mwene.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
Uvieikhunchikonga indagilo nchamwene vietama mugate mumwene. nu Nguluve itama mgati mwamweene. Na khunchiela eiye tulumanyile ukhta itama mgati ndyufwe, Khumepo ula uvyatupile.
