1 John 3
1 Behold what love has given to us the Father, that children of God we may be called — (and we are! *NO*) Because of this the world not knows (us, *NK(O)*) because not it knew Him.
Mlola, uganu wa Dadi cheuvi ukulu weukita tikemelewa tavana va Chapanga! Na chakaka ndi chativili, ndi muni vandu va pamulima vatimanyili lepi tete ndava muni vammanyili lepi Chapanga.
2 Beloved, now children of God are we, and not yet has been revealed what we will be; We know (now *k*) that when He shall appear, like Him we will be, for we will behold Him even as He is.
Mwava nkozi, hinu tavana va Chapanga, nambu yakona yangamanyikana hotohoto chetivyayi. Nambu timayili kuvya penapo Kilisitu peibwela yati tiwanangana nayu ndava yati tikumlola ngati cheavili.
3 And everyone who is having hope this in Him purifies himself even as He pure is.
Na kila mundu mweavi na huvalila yeniyo ndi akujinyambisa, ngati Kilisitu cheanyambiswi.
4 Everyone who is committing sin also lawlessness commits, and sin is lawlessness.
Kila mundu mweikita gahakau akugabela malagizu ga Chapanga, ndava kumbudila Chapanga ndi kuyibela malagizu ga Chapanga.
5 And you know that He appeared so that the sins (of us *K*) He may take away, and sin in Him not there is.
Kilisitu abwelili ndava ya kuwusa kumbudila kwitu Chapanga, na mwene ambudili lepi Chapanga.
6 Anyone in Him abiding not sins; anyone who is sinning not has seen Him nor has he known Him.
Kila mundu mweitama mukuwungana na Kilisitu iyendelela lepi kumbudila Chapanga. Yoyoha mweiyendelela kumbudila Chapanga, amuwene lepi amala ammanyili lepi.
7 (little children, *NK(o)*) no one should lead astray you; who are practicing righteousness righteous is even as He righteous is.
Vana vangu, mundu akotoka kuvakonga! Mweikita gabwina kwa Chapanga akumganisa Chapanga muni Kilisitu mmbwina neju palongolo ya Chapanga.
8 The [one] practicing sin of the devil is, because from [the] beginning the devil has been sinning. For this [reason] was revealed the Son of God so that He may destroy the works of the devil.
Mweikita gahakau ndi wa Setani, ndava Muhakau ndi ambudili Chapanga kuhumila utumbula. Ndava yeniyo Mwana wa Chapanga abwelili pamulima muni ahalabisa lihengu loha la Mhakau.
9 Anyone who born of God sin not practices, because seed of Him in him abides; and not he is able to continue sinning, because of God he has been born.
Kila mundu mweavili Mwana wa Chapanga akumbudila lepi Chapanga ndava muni wumi wa Chapanga utama mugati yaki ihotola lepi kumbudila Chapanga muni Chapanga ndi Dadi wavi.
10 Through this manifest are the children of God and the children of the devil. Anyone not practicing righteousness not is of God, and also the [one] not loving the brother of him;
Kwa njila yeniyi tihotola kuvamanya vevavili vana va Chapanga na vevavili vana va Setani. Mundu yoyoha mwangakita gegavi gabwina palongolo yaki amala mundu mwanga mgana mlongo waki mwenuyo mwana lepi wa Chapanga.
11 For this is the message that you have heard from [the] beginning that we may love one another;
Wenuwu ndi ujumbi wemwayuwini kuhumila kadeni kuvya: Tigananayi tete kwa tete.
12 not even as Cain [who] of the evil [one] was and he slew the brother of him; And because of what he slayed him? Because the works of him evil were, those however of the brother of him righteous.
Mkoto kuvya ngati Kaini mweavili mundu wa yula Muhakau akamukoma mlongo waki Abeli. Ndava ya kiki amkomili? Ndava matendu gaki gavi gahakau, na mlongo waki akitayi gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
13 (And *n*) not do be surprised, brothers (of mine *K*) if hates you the world.
Valongo vangu, mkoto kukangasa, ngati vandu va mulima vavavengii nyenye.
14 We ourselves know that we have passed from death to life, because we love [our] brothers; The [one] not loving (the brother *K*) abides in death.
Tete timanyi kuvya tihumi mulifwa tiyingi mukulama, ndava tivaganili valongo. Mwene mweangali uganu mwenuyo itama mumakakala ga lifwa.
15 Everyone who is hating the brother of him a murderer is; and you know that any murderer not has life eternal in (him *NK(o)*) abiding. (aiōnios g166)
Kila mweakumuvenga mlongo waki ndi mkomaji, na nyenye mumanyi kuvya mundu mkomaji avi lepi na wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we have known love because He for us the life of Him laid down; and we ourselves ought for [our] brothers [our] lives (to lay down. *N(k)O*)
Ndava ya lenili tiumanyi uganu chauvi, ndi muni Kilisitu awusili wumi waki ndava ya tete, na tete mewa tiwusa wumi witu ndava ya kuvatangatila valongo vitu.
17 Who[ever] now maybe may have the goods of the world and may see the brother of him need having and he may close up the heart of him from him, how the love of God abides in him?
Nambu mundu avi na vindu vya pamulima, na akumlola mlongo waki igana, akabela kumuhengela lipyana, wu, ihotola wuli kujova akumgana Chapanga?
18 Little children (of mine *K*) not we may love in word nor in tongue but in action and in truth.
Vana vangu tileka kuvagana vandu kwa kujova ndu nambu tivagana chakaka kwa kulangisa matendu.
19 And by this (we will know *N(k)O*) that of the truth we are and before Him we will assure (heart *N(k)O*) of us,
Ndi chetihotola kuvya tavandu vetivili na uchakaka, na tivili lepi na wogoyi mumitima yitu palongolo ya Chapanga.
20 that if shall condemn [us] our heart, that greater than is the God of the heart of us and He knows all things.
Ngati mitima yitu ikutikumbusa lepi kuvya tikumbudila Chapanga, timanyi kuvya Chapanga muvaha kuliku mitima hitu na mwene amanyili goha.
21 Beloved, if the heart of us not shall condemn (us *ko*) confidence we have toward God,
Vankozi vangu, mitima yitu ngati yikutikumbusa lepi kuvya tikumbudila Chapanga hinu tivya lepi na wogoyi palongolo ya Chapanga.
22 and whatever (maybe *NK(o)*) we shall ask we receive (from *N(k)O*) Him, because the commandments of Him we keep and the [things] pleasing before Him we do.
Na chochoha chetikumuyupa, tichipata kwaki. Tiyuwanila mihilu yaki kukita gala gegakumganisa Chapanga.
23 And this is the commandment of Him that (we may believe *NK(o)*) in the name of the Son of Him Jesus Christ and we may love one another even as He gave [the] commandment to us.
Mihilu yaki ndi iyi, kumsadika Yesu Kilisitu mweavili Mwana waki, na kuganana tavete ngati cheatilagizili.
24 And the [one] keeping the commandments of Him in Him abides, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom to us He has given.
Vandu voha veviyidakila mihilu ya Chapanga vitama mukuwungana nayu. Vene vitama mugati ya Chapanga na Chapanga itama mugati yavi. Tete tigamanyili ago kwa njila ya Mpungu Msopi mweatipelili.
