< 1 John 5 >
1 Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat, loveth him also that is begotten by him.
Mundu jwalijose jwakukulupilila kuti Che Yesu ali Kilisito Nkulupusyo, mundu jo ali mwana jwa Akunnungu. Ni mundu jwakwanonyela atati akunnonyela ni mwanagwe nombe.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
Yeleyi ni yatuimanyi kuti tukwanonyela ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, apala patukwanonyela Akunnungu ni kugakunda malajisyo gakwe.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.
Pakuŵa kwanonyela Akunnungu kuli kugajitichisya malajisyo gakwe. Ni malajisyo gakwe ngagakulimba,
4 For whatever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith.
pakuŵa jwali mwana jwa Akunnungu akukombola kuipunda indu ya pachilambo. Nowe tukukombola kuipunda indu ya pachilambo kwa chikulupi chetu.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Ana, nduni jwakukombola kuchipunda chigongomalo cha pachilambo? Ali jwejula pe jwakukulupilila kuti Che Yesu ali Mwana jwa Akunnungu.
6 This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth testimony, because the Spirit is truth.
Che Yesu Kilisito ni juŵaiche kwa meesi katema paŵaliji nkubatiswa ni kwa miasi paŵawile. Nganaika kwa meesi pe nambo kwa meesi ni miasi. Nombe Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akuŵalanga umboni kuti ili isyene, pakuŵa Mbumu ali usyene.
7 For there are three that bear testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.
Pakuŵa apali ŵaumboni ŵatatu.
8 And there are three that bear testimony on earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni meesi ni miasi, wose ŵatatu akuŵalanga umboni waukwilana.
9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: for this is the testimony of God which he hath testified of his Son.
Twaukundaga umboni wa ŵandu, umboni wa Akunnungu uli wekulu nnope kupunda wa ŵandu, ni umboni wauŵalasile Akunnungu nkati Mwanagwe uli wausyene.
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed the testimony that God gave of his Son.
Mundu jwakunkulupilila Mwana jwa Akunnungu akwete umboni wo mu ntima mwakwe. Jwangakunkulupilila Akunnungu, antesile Akunnungu ali jwa unami, pakuŵa nganaukulupilila umboni uŵauŵalasile Akunnungu nkati Mwanagwe.
11 And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life: and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios )
Umboni wene ni au, Akunnungu ŵatupele umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni umi wo ukupatikana kwa Mwanagwe. (aiōnios )
12 He that hath the Son, hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God, hath not life.
Mundu jwalijose jwali Mwana jwa Akunnungu akwete umi wo, ni mundu jwangaŵa Mwana jwa Akunnungu nganakola umi wo.
13 These things have I written to you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios )
Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe aga, kuti mmanyilile yakuti nkwete umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ŵanyamwe ŵankunkulupilila Mwana jwa Akunnungu. (aiōnios )
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
Ni tukwima pangali kuogopa paujo pa Akunnungu, pakuŵa twaŵendaga chindu chachilichose mpela yakuti pakusaka akutupilikanila.
15 And if we know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired from him.
Iŵaga tukumanyilila kuti akutupilikanila patukwaŵenda chachilichose, iyoyopeyo tukuimanyilila kuti chitupochele chachilichose chitukwaŵenda.
16 If any man shall see his brother sin a sin [which is] not to death, he shall ask, and he will give him life for them that sin not to death. There is a sin to death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
Iŵaga mundu ammweni nlongo njakwe ali nkutenda sambi syasikwikanasyo chiwa, ampopelele kwa Akunnungu, nombe Akunnungu champe umi. Nguŵecheta yeleyi nkati aŵala ŵatesile sambi syangasikwajausya ku chiwa. Nambo sipali sambi syasikwikanasyo chiwa, ni une ngangusala kuti ampopelele kwa Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya sambi syo.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not to death.
Ipanganyo yose yangaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu ili sambi, nambo sipali sambi sine syangasikunjausya mundu ku chiwa.
18 We know that whoever is born of God, sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God, keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
Tukwimanyilila kuti kila jwali Mwana jwa Akunnungu ngakwendelechela kutenda sambi, pakuŵa Mwana jwa Akunnungu akungosa, ni ajula jwachigongomalo ngakupakombola kuntenda chachilichose.
19 [And] we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
Tukumanyilila kuti uweji tuli ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu namuno chilambo chose chikulongoswa ni Jwachigongomalo.
20 And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. (aiōnios )
Noweji tukumanyilila kuti Mwana jwa Akunnungu amasile kwika, nombejo atupele umanyilisi kuti twamanyilile Akunnungu ŵa usyene. Noweji tukutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu ŵali ŵa usyene kwa litala lya Mwana gwao Che Yesu Kilisito. Aŵa ali Akunnungu ŵa usyene ni awu uli umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios )
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
Achiŵanangu nlilolechesye ni achiminungu jaunami.
