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.
And see how great is the love of the Father toward us, that sons he hath called us, and also made us! Therefore the world doth not know us, because that it hath also not known 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.
MY beloved, now are we the sons of Aloha; and it is not manifest, as yet, what we are to become, but we know, that when he is manifested, in his likeness we are and see him, according to that which he is.
3 Mũndũ o wothe ũrĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩkĩ thĩinĩ wake nĩetheragia, o ta ũrĩa Kristũ nake arĩ mũtheru.
And every one who hath in him this hope, purifieth himself, as He is pure.
4 Mũndũ o wothe wĩhagia nĩ watho oinaga; kwĩhia-rĩ, nĩkuo kuuna watho.
But whoever committeth sin doeth iniquity; for all sin is iniquity.
5 No inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ nĩonithanirio nĩgeetha eherie mehia maitũ. Na thĩinĩ wake gũtirĩ mehia.
And you know that he was manifested to bear our sins, and sin in him is not.
6 Mũndũ o wothe ũtũũraga thĩinĩ wa Kristũ ndehagia. Mũndũ o wothe wĩhagia ndarĩ amuona o na kana akamũmenya.
And every one who in him abideth, sinneth not. And every one who sinneth, hath not seen him, nor known him.
7 Twana twakwa nyendete, mũtikanareke mũndũ o na ũ amũhĩtithie. Ũrĩa wĩkaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire nĩ mũthingu, o ta ũrĩa Kristũ arĩ mũthingu.
My sons, let no man deceive you: he who worketh righteousness is righteous, as also the Meshiha himself 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.
And he who doeth sin is of Satana, because that from the commencement Satana was a sinner. And for this cause did the Son of Aloha appear, that he might destroy the works of Satana.
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.
Every one who is born of Aloha, sin doth not work, because that his seed is in him, and he cannot sin, because of Aloha he is born.
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 distinguished the sons of Aloha from the sons of Satana; every one who doeth not righteousness, nor loveth his brother, is not of Aloha.
11 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa mwaiguire kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria: No nginya twendanage mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.
For this is the commandment which you have heard from before, that you love 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 Koen, who was from the Evil, and killed his brother. And on what account killed he him? unless that his own works were evil and his brother's righteous.
13 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, andũ a thĩ mangĩmũmena-rĩ, mũtikagege.
Do not wonder, my brethren, if the 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 have passed from death unto life, by this, that we love our brethren. He who loveth not his brother, in death continueth.
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)
For every one who hateth his brother is a man-killer; and we know that in no man-killer can abide the life which is eternal. (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.
In this we know His love toward us, that he gave himself for us; (so) also it is right for us for the sake of our brethren to give ourselves.
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 he who hath the possession of the world, and shall see his brother that he needeth, and shall shut his compassions from him, how is there in him the love of Aloha?
18 Twana twakwa nyendete, nĩtũtige kwendanaga na ciugo kana na kanua tu, no nĩtwendanage na ciĩko na twendane na ma.
My sons, let us not love one another in words and in tongue, but in works and in truth.
19 Ũũ nĩguo tũmenyaga atĩ tũrĩ a ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma, na ũrĩa tũrĩigaga ngoro ciitũ itarĩ na nganja tũrĩ mbere yake,
And by this we make known that we are of the truth, and before that he cometh we make confident our hearts.
20 rĩrĩa rĩothe ngoro ciitũ itaratũtuĩra ciira. Nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩ mũnene gũkĩra ngoro ciitũ, na nĩoĩ maũndũ mothe.
And if our heart condemn us, how much (more) Aloha, who is greater than our heart, and knoweth every thing!
21 Arata akwa endwa, ngoro ciitũ ingĩaga gũtũtuĩra ciira-rĩ, nĩtũrĩkoragwo tũrĩ na ũũmĩrĩru mbere ya Ngai,
My beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have openness of face before Aloha.
22 na nĩarĩtũheaga kĩrĩa gĩothe tũrĩmũhooyaga, tondũ nĩtwathĩkagĩra maathani make na tũgeeka maũndũ marĩa mamũkenagia.
And whatever we ask, we shall receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are beautiful before him.
23 Narĩo rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩathani rĩake: Nĩ gwĩtĩkia rĩĩtwa rĩa Mũriũ, Jesũ Kristũ, na twendanage o ta ũrĩa aatwathire.
And this is his commandment, That we believe in the name of his Son Jeshu Meshiha, and love one another, as he hath commanded us.
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.
And he who keepeth his commandments, is kept by him, and he dwelleth in him: and by this we perceive that he dwelleth in us, by his Spirit whom he hath given to us.
