1 John 3
1 See what marvellous love the Father has bestowed upon us--that we should be called God's children: and that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us--because it has not known Him.
Mulangai ni luganu lya namna gani atupelili tata, kuj'ha twikutibhwa bhana bha K'yara, na naha ndo kyataj'hele. Kwa ndabha Obho bhulimwengu bhutumanyilepi kwa kuj'ha ghwammnyidumu muene.
2 Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we are to be in the future has not yet been fully revealed. We know that if Christ reappears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.
Bhaganwa tete henu ndo bhana bha K'yara na j'hidhihiri kilepi bado jinsi kyatubetakuj'ha. Tumanyili kuj'ha kristu paibeta kubhonekana tukufuatana na numuene, kwani twibetakumbona kama kyaaj'hele.
3 And every man who has this hope fixed on Him, purifies himself so as to be as pure as He is.
Na kilammonga ambaj'he aj'he ni bhubisisya obho kuhusu bhwakati bhwa bhwihida bhwabhaij'he lakisibhu kwa muene, ikwij'hosya muene kama muene kya api'hele n'takatifu.
4 Every one who is guilty of sin is also guilty of violating Law; for sin is the violation of Law.
Kila munu j'haij'hendelela kubhomba sambi ibomola Sheria. Kwa ndabha sambi ndo bhubomolaji bhwa Sheria.
5 And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.
Mmanyili Kristu adhalilishibhu ili kusibhosya sambi kabisa. Na mugati mwake kuj'helepi ni sambi.
6 No one who continues in union with Him lives in sin: no one who lives in sin has seen Him or knows Him.
Aj'helepi hata mmonga j'haidumu mugati mwake ni kuj'hendelela kubhomba sambi. Aj'helepi munu ata mmonga j'haidumu mu sambi ikaj'helayi ambwene au kummanya muene.
7 Dear children, let no one lead you astray. The man who acts righteously is righteous, just as He is righteous.
Bhana bhaghanwa, mkata kuj'hendekela kupotosibhwa ni munu j'hoj'hioha j'hela. J'ha ibhomba haki ndo n'kolo haki, Kama vile Kristu muene kyaaj'hele ni haki.
8 He who is habitually guilty of sin is a child of the Devil, because the Devil has been a sinner from the very beginning. The Son of God appeared for the purpose of undoing the work of the Devil.
J'haibhomba sambi ndo ghwaibilisi, kwandabha ibilisi ndo mmbomba sambi kuh'omela kubhwandelu. Kwa ndabha ej'he mwana ghwa K'yara adhalilishibhu ili abhwesiagha kusyonanga mbombo sya ibilisi.
9 No one who is a child of God is habitually guilty of sin. A God-given germ of life remains in him, and he cannot habitually sin--because he is a child of God.
j'hoj'hioha j'hola j'haahogoliki ni K'yara ibhombalepi sambi, kwandabha mbegu j'ha K'yara j'hi tama mugati mwake. Ibhwesyalepi kuj'hendelela kubhomba sambi kwandabha ahogoliki nu K'yara.
10 By this we can distinguish God's children and the Devil's children: no one who fails to act righteously is a child of God, nor he who does not love his brother man.
Katika e'le bhana bha K'yara ni bhana bha ibilisi bhimanyikana. j'hoj'hioha j'haibhomba kyakij'hele Kya haki, ghwa K'yara lepi, bhwala j'hola ambaj'he ibhwesyalepi kun'gana ndogo munu.
11 For this is the Message you have heard from the beginning--that we are to love one another.
Kwani obho ndo bhujumbe ambagho mughup'heliki kuh'omela kubhwandu, kuj'ha twilondeka kuganana yoti kwa yoti,
12 We are not to resemble Cain, who was a child of the Evil one and killed his own brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own actions were wicked and his brother's actions righteous.
sio kama kaini ambaj'he aj'hele mwovu na an'komili ndongo munu. Na kwandabha j'hakiki an'komili? Kwandabha matendo ghake ghaj'hele maovu, ni gha ndogomunu ghaj'hele gha haki.
13 Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.
Bhalongo bhangu, Mkatakusyangala, kama bhulimwengu ubekubhadadila.
14 As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life--because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead.
Tumanyili tumalili kuhoma mu mauti ni kuj'hingila mu bhusima, kwandabha tubhaganili bhalongo. J'hoj'hioha ambaj'he aduli luganu idumu mu mauti.
15 Every one who hates his brother man is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has the Life of the Ages continuing in him. (aiōnios g166)
Munu j'hej'hioha j'haikan'dadila ndogomunu ndo nkomi. Na mmanyili kuj'ha bhusima bhwa milele bhwitama lepi mugati mwa nkomi. (aiōnios g166)
16 We know what love is--through Christ's having laid down His life on our behalf; and in the same way we ought to lay down our lives for our brother men.
Mu e'le tulimanyili luganu, kwa ndabha Kristu ahomisye bhuhai bhwake kwa ndabha j'hitu.
17 But if any one has this world's wealth and sees that his brother man is in need, and yet hardens his heart against him--how can such a one continue to love God?
Natu twilondeka kughabhosya maisha ghitu kwa ndabha j'ha bhukamu. Lakini j'hoj'hioha j'ha aj'hele ni fenu, na akambona ndongo munu j'ha aj'he ni bhuhitaji, lakini akabhubesya n'tama ghwake bhwa huruma kwandabha j'hiake: je, luganu lwa K'yara bhwitama bhuli mugati mwa muene?
18 Dear children, let us not love in words only nor with the lips, but in deed and in truth.
Bhana bhangu bhaganwa, tusigani kwa milomo bhwala kwa malobhi mat'opu bali mu fitendo ni bhukweli.
19 And in this way we shall come to know that we are loyal to the truth, and shall satisfy our consciences in His presence
Mu e'le tumanyili kuj'ha tete tuj'hele mu bhukweli, ni miteema ghitu j'hithibitika kwa muene.
20 in whatever matters our hearts condemn us--because God is greater than our hearts and knows everything.
Ikajhiayi Kama mi'teema ghitu j'hikatuhukumu, K'yara ndo m'baha kuliko miteema ghitu, ni muene imanya mambo ghoha.
21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have perfect confidence towards God;
Bhapenzi, Kama mi'teema ghitu ghibelepikuhukumu tuj'hele ni bhusisya kwa K'yara.
22 and whatever we ask for we obtain from Him, because we obey His commands and do the things which are pleasing in His sight.
Na kyokyoha kyatwis'oma tubelakukij'hamb'elela kuh'omela kwa muene kwa ndabha tukasikamula amri syake na twibhomba mambo ghaghipendasya pamihu pake.
23 And this is His command--that we are to believe in His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as He has commanded us to do.
Na e'j'he ndo amri j'hiake j'ha kuj'ha twilondeka kukyera mu lihina lya mwanabha Yesu Kristu ni kuganana tete kwa tete Kama Kya atupelili amri syake.
24 The man who obeys His commands continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him; and through His Spirit whom He has given us we can know that He continues in union with us.
j'ha ikasitii kya amri syake idumu mugati mwake, ni K'yara itama mugati mwake. Na kwandabha ej'he tumanyili kuj'ha itama mugati mwitu, kwa j'hola Roho j'haatupelili.
