1 John 3
1 Behold, what manner of love, the Father hath bestowed upon us—that, children of God, we should be called, —and such we are! Therefore, the world understandeth us not, because it understood not him.
Mulole ni pendo lya namna gani lyatupeile Tate, panga tukemelwa bana ba Nnongo, na yelo nga tubile. Kwa mana yee ulimwengu ututangite kwaa mana umtangite kwaa ywembe,
2 Beloved! now, are we, children of God; and, not yet, hath it been made manifest, what we shall be, —We know that, if it should be made manifest, like unto him, shall we be, because we shall see him, just as he is.
Apendwa twenga nambeambe ni bana ba Nnongo, na yaridhika kwaa bado jinsi yatubile. Tutangite panga Kristo paabonekana, twalowa fanana naywembe, mana twambweni kati yaabile.
3 And, whosoever hath this hope on him, is purifying himself, just as, He, is pure.
Na kila yumo ambaye abile na ujasiri wolo kuhusu muda woisa wauelekezwa kwake, hujitakasa mwene kati ywembe yaabile mtakatifu.
4 Whosoever is committing sin, lawlessness also, is committing, and, sin, is, lawlessness;
Kila undu ywaendelea kupanga sambi kuitekwaniya saliya. Kwa sababu sambi ni kutekwania saliya.
5 And ye know, that, He, was made manifest—in order that, our sins, he should take away, and, sin, in him, is there none.
Mutangite Kristo atidhihirishwa ili kuziondoa sambi kabisa.
6 Whosoever, in him, doth abide, is not sinning: whosoever is sinning, hath not seen him, and doth not understand him.
Ntopo hata yumo ywadumu nkati yake na kuendelea kupanga sambi, Ntopo mundu hata yumo ywadumu katika sambi mana itei amweni au kuntanga ywembe.
7 Dear children! Let, no one, lead you astray! He that is doing righteousness, is, righteous, just as, He, is righteous:
Bana bapendwa, kana mkubali kupotoshwa na mundu yeyote. Ywapanga haki ni mwene haki, mana yelo Kristo ywembe abile mwenye haki.
8 He that is committing sin, is, of the adversary, because, from the beginning, the adversary is sinning. To this end, was the Son of God made manifest, in order that he might undo the works of the adversary.
Ywapanga sambi ni ba ibilisi, kwa sababu ibilisi ni mpanga sambi tangu mwanzo. Kwa mana yee Mwana wa Nnongo atidhihirishwa ili aweze kuziharibu ili aweze kuziharibu kazi za ibilisi.
9 Whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing, sin, because, a seed of him, within him, abideth; and he cannot be committing sin, because, of God, hath he been born.
Yeyote ywabelekilwe na Nnongo apanga kwaa sambi, kwa sababu mbeyu ya Nnongo utama nkati yake. Aweza kwaa kuendelea kupanga sambi kwa sababu abelekilwe na Nnongo.
10 Herein, are, manifest, the children of God, and the children of the adversary: Whoever is not doing righteousness, is not of God, nor yet he that is not loving his brother.
Katika lee bana ba Nnongo na bana ba ibilisi abtangitwe Yeyote ywapanga kwaa chakibile cha haki, cha Nnongo kwaa, wala yolo ambaye aweza kwaa kumpenda nongowe.
11 Because, this, is the message which ye have heard from the beginning—that we should be loving one another, —
Mana wolo nga ujumbe muuyowine boka mwanzo, panga tupalikwa kupendana twenga kwa twenga,
12 Not just as, Cain, was, of the wicked one, and slew his brother! And, for what cause, slew he him? Because, his works, were, wicked, whereas, those of his brother, were, righteous.
abile kwaa kati kaini ambaye abile wa nchela na atimbulaga nongowe. Na kwa mwanja namani atimbulaga? Kwa mana matendo gake gabile mabou, na yalo ya nongowe yabile ya haki.
13 Be not marveling, brethren, if, the world, is hating you:
Alongo bango, kana mushangae, mana ulimwengu utabachukiya.
14 We, know, that we have passed over out of death into life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not, abideth in death.
Tutangite tuyomwile boka mu'kiwo na kuyingya mu'ukoto, kwa mana twaapenda alongo. Yeyote ambaye abile kwaa na upendo utama katika kiwo.
15 Whosoever is hating his brother, is, a murderer; and ye know that, no murderer, hath life age-during, within him abiding. (aiōnios g166)
Mundu yeyote ywamchukia nongowe ni muuaji. Na mutangite kuwa ukoto wa milele utama kwaa nkati ya muuaji. (aiōnios g166)
16 Hereby, have we come to understand love: in that, He, for us, his life laid down; and, we, ought, for the brethren, our lives to lay down.
Katika lee tutangite lipendo, kwa sababu kristo atiutoa ukoto wake kwa ajili yitu. Twenga tupalikwa kuyatoa maisha yitu kwa ajili ya nongo.
17 But, whoso hath this world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother having, need, and shutteth up his tender affections from him, how, is, the love of God, abiding in him?
Lakini yeyote ywabile na ilebe, na ambona nongowe mwenye uhitaji, lakini huuzuia moyo wake wa huruma kwa ajili yake; je upendo wa Nnongo utama kinamani nkati yake?
18 Dear children! Let us not be loving in word, nor yet with the tongue, but in deed and truth.
Bana bango bapenzi, tupende kwaa mikano wala kwa maneno matupu ila katika vitendo na kweli.
19 Hereby, shall we get to know, that, of the truth, we are, and, before him, shall persuade our heart;
Katika lee tutangite panga twenga tubile katika kweli, na mioyo yitu inathibitika katika ywembe.
20 Because, if our own heart condemn us, greater, is God, than our heart, and perceiveth all things.
mana itei kati mioyo yitu yatuhukumu, Nnongo ni nkolo kuliko mioyo yitu, na ywembe utanga makowe yote.
21 Beloved! if our heart be not condemning us, boldness, have we, towards God;
Apenzi, mana yitu yatuhukumu, tubile na ujasiri kwa Nnongo.
22 And, whatsoever we are asking, we are receiving from him, because, his commandments, are we keeping, and, the things that are pleasing before him, are we doing.
Na chochote tukiloba twakipokya boka kwake, kwa sababu twazikamwa amri yake na tugapanga makowe yagampendeza nnongi yake.
23 And, this, is his commandment, —that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and be loving one another—just as he gave a commandment unto us.
Na yee nga amri yake-ya panga tupalika kuamini katika lina lya mwana wake Yesu Kristo ma kupendana twenga kwa twenga kati yatupatia amri yake.
24 And, he that keepeth his commandments, in him, abideth, and, he, in him. And, hereby, perceive we, that he abideth in us, by reason of the Spirit which, unto us, he hath given.
Ywaziheshimu amri zake utama nkati yake, na Nnongo utama nkati yake. Na kwa sababu yee tutangite panga utama nkati yitu. Kwa yolo Roho ywatupile.
