1 John 1
1 We declare to you what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life.
Tukunlembela ŵanyamwe utenga wa Ngani ja ajula jwakuŵilanjikwa Liloŵe jwakwikanawo umi, juŵapali chitandile kundanda. Uwe twampikene ni kumbona kwa meeso getu twachinsyene, twammweni ni kunkwaya kwa makono getu twachinsyene.
2 This life was revealed; we have seen it, and we testify and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father and that was revealed to us. (aiōnios g166)
Jwele jwakwikanawo umi wo paŵaiche, twammweni, noweji tukuŵalanga umboni ni kunlalichila ŵanyamwe nkati umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Jwelejo ŵaliji kwa Atati ni sambano atukopochele uweji. (aiōnios g166)
3 What we have seen and heard we declare to you, so that you also may have fellowship with us, and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Tukunlalichila nkati Che Yesu, jutwammweni ni kumpilikana, kuti nombe ŵanyamwe nlumbikane pamo noweji mu umo watukwete nkulumbikana kwetu ni Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito Mwanagwe.
4 We are writing these things to you so that our joy may be full.
Tukunlembela ŵanyamwe indu yi kuti lukondwa lwenu ni lwetu lumalilwe.
5 This is the message that we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.
Ngani jitwajipikene kutyochela ku Che Yesu ni jitukunlalichila ŵanyamwe jili: Akunnungu ali lulanga, ni ngapagwa chipi munkati mwakwe.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
Twasalaga tulumbikene ni Akunnungu, akuno tuli nkupanganya ya chigongomalo ili mpela tukutama muchipi, tukusala unami ni indu yatukuitendekanya ngaŵa ya usyene.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
Nambo twatamaga mu lulanga, mpela Akunnungu nsyene yakuti kutama mu lulanga, tukulumbikana pamo jwine ni jwine, ni miasi ji Che Yesu jwaali Mwanagwao, jikutuswejesya sambi syose.
8 If we say that we do not have sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Twajilaga nganitukola sambi, tukulilambusya twachinsyene, ni usyene nganiuŵa mwetuwe.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Nambo twajitichisyaga ni kusala kwa Akunnungu kuti tukwete sambi, ŵelewo ali ŵakulupilichika ni ali ŵambone moŵa gose, nombejo chatulechelesye sambi syetu ni kutuswejesya ni yakunyakasya yose.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Twajilaga nganitukola sambi tukuntenda Akunnungu ali jwaunani, ni liloŵe lyao nganilipagwa mwetuwe.
