1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
Echo chakazwa kumatalikilo - nchitwakamvwa, nchitwakabona amenso eesu, nchitwakalanga, alimwi maboko esu akachiguma - chilatala a Jwi lyabuumi.
2 ( For the life was revealed, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show to you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us; ) (aiōnios g166)
Alimwi, buumi bwakachitwa kuti buzibwe, alimwi twakabubona, tububeda bukamboni. Tulikumwambila buumi ibutamani, bwakali a Taata, alimwi bwakazibisigwa kuli ndiswe. (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Echo nchitwabona akumvwa aswebo tumwambila nchiicho, kuti anywebo mube abulidilano andiswe. Bulidilano bwesu buli a Taata alimwi aMwana wakwe Jesu Kkilisito.
4 And these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.
Alimwi tulikulemba zintu ezi kulindinywe kuchitila kuti lukondo lwesu luzulile. Amwi malembe eensiku echiGiliki abalika boobu, alimwi tulikumulembela zintu ezi kuchitila kuti lukondo lwenu luzulile.
5 This then is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Aya ngemakani ngitwakamvwa kulinguwe ngitwamwambila: Leza mumuuni, alimwi mulinguwe tamukwe mudima abunini pe.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
Kuti katwamba kuti tulabulidilano anguwe pele katwenda mumudima, tulikubeja alimwi tatuchiti bwini pe.
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 Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Pele kuti katwenda mumumuni mbuli mbwali mumumuni we, tulabulidilano umwi awumwi, alimwi bulowa bwa Jesu Mwana wakwe bulatusalazya kuzwa kuzibi zyoonse.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Kuti twati tatukwe chibi, tulikulyeena lwesu, alimwi bwini tabumo pe mulindiswe.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Pele kuti twalyaamba zibi zyesu, ulisyomekede akululama kutulekelela zibi zyesu akutusalazya kuzwa kukutalulama koonse.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Kuti twaati taakwe nitwakabisya, twamuchita mubeji, aboobo ijwi lyakwe talimo pe muli ndiswe.
