1 Johana 3
1 Onei ũrĩa wendo ũnenehete, ũrĩa Ithe witũ atwendete naguo, atĩ twĩtagwo ciana cia Ngai! Na ũguo nĩguo tũrĩ! Gĩtũmi kĩa andũ a thĩ mage gũtũmenya nĩ ũndũ o nake matiamũmenyire.
Behold, what loue the Father hath giuen to vs, that we should be called the sonnes of God: for this cause this world knoweth you not, because it knoweth not him.
2 Arata akwa endwa, rĩu ithuĩ tũrĩ ciana cia Ngai, no gũtirĩ kũramenyithanio ũrĩa tũgaatuĩka thuutha-inĩ. No nĩtũũĩ atĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa akoonithanio nĩtũkahaanana nake, nĩgũkorwo tũkaamuona o ũrĩa atariĩ.
Dearely beloued, nowe are we the sonnes of God, but yet it is not made manifest what we shall be: and we know that when he shalbe made manifest, we shalbe like him: for we shall see him as he is.
3 Mũndũ o wothe ũrĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩkĩ thĩinĩ wake nĩetheragia, o ta ũrĩa Kristũ nake arĩ mũtheru.
And euery man that hath this hope in him, purgeth himselfe, euen as he is pure.
4 Mũndũ o wothe wĩhagia nĩ watho oinaga; kwĩhia-rĩ, nĩkuo kuuna watho.
Whosoeuer committeth sinne, transgresseth also the Law: for sinne is the transgression of the Lawe.
5 No inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ nĩonithanirio nĩgeetha eherie mehia maitũ. Na thĩinĩ wake gũtirĩ mehia.
And ye knowe that hee was made manifest, that he might take away our sinnes, and in him is no sinne.
6 Mũndũ o wothe ũtũũraga thĩinĩ wa Kristũ ndehagia. Mũndũ o wothe wĩhagia ndarĩ amuona o na kana akamũmenya.
Whosoeuer abideth in him, sinneth not: whosoeuer sinneth, hath not seene him, neither hath knowen him.
7 Twana twakwa nyendete, mũtikanareke mũndũ o na ũ amũhĩtithie. Ũrĩa wĩkaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire nĩ mũthingu, o ta ũrĩa Kristũ arĩ mũthingu.
Litle children, let no man deceiue you: he that doeth righteousnes, is righteous, as hee is righteous.
8 Mũndũ ũrĩa wĩhagia nĩ wa mũcukani, tondũ mũcukani atũire ehagia kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria. Gĩtũmi kĩa Mũrũ wa Ngai onithanio-rĩ, nĩgeetha athũkie wĩra wa mũcukani.
He that comitteth sinne, is of the deuil: for the deuill sinneth from the beginning: for this purpose was made manifest that Sonne of God, that he might loose the workes of the deuil.
9 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũciarĩtwo nĩ Ngai ũthiiaga na mbere na kwĩhia, tondũ mbeũ ya Ngai ĩikaraga thĩinĩ wake; we ndangĩthiĩ na mbere na kwĩhia, tondũ nĩmũciare nĩ Ngai.
Whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: for his seede remaineth in him, neither can hee sinne, because he is borne of God.
10 Ũndũ ũyũ ũmenyithanagia ũtiganu wa ciana cia Ngai na cia mũcukani: Mũndũ o wothe ũtekaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire ti mwana wa Ngai; o hamwe na ũrĩa ũtendete mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa ithe.
In this are the children of God knowen, and the children of the deuil: whosoeuer doeth not righteousnesse, is not of God, neither he that loueth not his brother.
11 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa mwaiguire kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria: No nginya twendanage mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.
For this is the message, that ye heard from the beginning, that we should loue one another,
12 Mũtikahaane ta Kaini, ũrĩa warĩ wa ũrĩa mũũru, na akĩũraga mũrũ wa nyina. Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire amũũrage? Aamũũragire tondũ ciĩko ciake mwene ciarĩ njũru, nacio cia mũrũ wa nyina ciarĩ cia ũthingu.
Not as Cain which was of that wicked one, and slewe his brother: and wherefore slewe he him? because his owne workes were euill, and his brothers good.
13 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, andũ a thĩ mangĩmũmena-rĩ, mũtikagege.
Marueile not, my brethren, though this world hate you.
14 Nĩtũũĩ atĩ nĩtuumĩte gĩkuũ-inĩ tũgathiĩ muoyo-inĩ, tondũ nĩtwendete ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ. Mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũtendanaga atũũraga gĩkuũ-inĩ.
We know that we are translated from death vnto life, because we loue the brethren: he that loueth not his brother, abideth in death.
15 Mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũthũire mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa ithe-rĩ, ũcio nĩ mũũragani, na inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ gũtirĩ mũũragani ũrĩ na muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a manslayer: and ye know that no manslayer hath eternall life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 Ũndũ ũrĩa ũtũmaga tũmenye ũrĩa wendo ũhaana nĩ ũyũ: Jesũ Kristũ nĩarutire muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ witũ. Na ithuĩ nĩtwagĩrĩirwo tũrute mĩoyo iitũ nĩ ũndũ wa ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ.
Hereby haue we perceiued loue, that he layde downe his life for vs: therefore we ought also to lay downe our liues for the brethren.
17 Mũndũ angĩkorwo arĩ na indo cia gũkũ thĩ, na one mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa ithe wao ũbataire nĩ ũteithio no aage kũmũiguĩra tha-rĩ, wendo wa Ngai ũngĩgĩkorwo ũrĩ thĩinĩ wake atĩa?
And whosoeuer hath this worlds good, and seeth his brother haue neede, and shutteth vp his compassion from him, howe dwelleth the loue of God in him?
18 Twana twakwa nyendete, nĩtũtige kwendanaga na ciugo kana na kanua tu, no nĩtwendanage na ciĩko na twendane na ma.
My litle children, let vs not loue in worde, neither in tongue onely, but in deede and in trueth.
19 Ũũ nĩguo tũmenyaga atĩ tũrĩ a ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma, na ũrĩa tũrĩigaga ngoro ciitũ itarĩ na nganja tũrĩ mbere yake,
For thereby we know that we are of the trueth, and shall before him assure our hearts.
20 rĩrĩa rĩothe ngoro ciitũ itaratũtuĩra ciira. Nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩ mũnene gũkĩra ngoro ciitũ, na nĩoĩ maũndũ mothe.
For if our heart condemne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Arata akwa endwa, ngoro ciitũ ingĩaga gũtũtuĩra ciira-rĩ, nĩtũrĩkoragwo tũrĩ na ũũmĩrĩru mbere ya Ngai,
Beloued, if our heart condemne vs not, then haue we boldnes toward God.
22 na nĩarĩtũheaga kĩrĩa gĩothe tũrĩmũhooyaga, tondũ nĩtwathĩkagĩra maathani make na tũgeeka maũndũ marĩa mamũkenagia.
And whatsoeuer we aske we receiue of him, because we keepe his commandements, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.
23 Narĩo rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩathani rĩake: Nĩ gwĩtĩkia rĩĩtwa rĩa Mũriũ, Jesũ Kristũ, na twendanage o ta ũrĩa aatwathire.
This is then his commandement, That we beleeue in the Name of his Sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another as hee gaue commandement.
24 Arĩa maathĩkagĩra maathani make nĩmatũũraga thĩinĩ wake, nake nĩatũũraga thĩinĩ wao. Naguo ũndũ ũrĩa tũmenyaga naguo atĩ nĩatũũraga thĩinĩ witũ nĩ ũyũ: Nĩ ũndũ wa Roho ũrĩa aatũheire.
For hee that keepeth his commandements, dwelleth in him, and he in him: and hereby we knowe that hee abideth in vs, euen by that Spirit which he hath giuen vs.
