8 Ongathandiyo, kamazi uNkulunkulu; ngoba uNkulunkulu uluthando.
Neke jula naikuvaghana nan'kagwile u Nguluve, ulwakuuva u Nguluve ghwe lughano.
9 Ngalokhu uthando lukaNkulunkulu lwabonakaliswa kithi, ukuthi uNkulunkulu wathuma iNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa emhlabeni, ukuze siphile ngayo.
Mulughano ulu lwa Nguluve alyahufisie kulyusue, kuuti u Nguluve alya nsung'ile u mwanaake juno ali jumo mwene mu iisi neke kuuti tukale kukila umweene.
10 Uthando lukulokhu, kungesikuthi thina samthanda uNkulunkulu, kodwa ukuthi yena wasithanda, wasethuma iNdodana yakhe ukuthi ibe yinhlawulo yokuthula ngezono zethu.
Mulughano ulu, na kwekuuti tulyamughanile u Nguluve, looli ye atughanile, akan'suung'ha umwanaake kuuti ave litekelo lya kupyanilua uvuhosi vwiitu.

Vaghanike vango, nave uNguluve alyatughanile usue, neke n'diki najusue tunoghile kughanana.
12 Kakulamuntu owake wabona uNkulunkulu; uba sithandana, uNkulunkulu uhlala kithi, lothando lwakhe luphelelisiwe kithi.
Nakwale nambe jumo juno alyamwaghile u Nguluve. Neke nave tughanana jusue, u Nguluve ikukala mun'kate mulyusue kange nalulughano lwa mweene lwa kyaang'haani luva mun'kate mulyusue.

Kange tumwaghile na kukuvoleka avange kuuti u Nhaata unsung'ile umwanake kuuti ava mpooki gha iiisi.
15 Loba ngubani ovumayo ukuthi uJesu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu uhlala kuye, laye kuNkulunkulu.
Umuunhu ghweni juno ikwitika kuuti u Yesu mwana ghwa Nguluve, u Nguluve iva n'kate mwamwene ju mwene iva n'kate mwa Nguluve.
16 Thina sesisazi sakholwa uthando uNkulunkulu alalo kithi. UNkulunkulu uluthando, njalo ohlala ethandweni uhlala kuNkulunkulu, loNkulunkulu kuye.

Mu lughano ulu ulwa kyang'haani lulimun'kate mulyusue, neke tuve nuvukangali ikighono ikya vuhighi, ulwakuva ndavule umwene alivuo, najusue ndavule tulivuo mu iisi iji.
18 Kakukho ukwesaba ethandweni, kodwa uthando olupheleleyo luyaxotsha ukwesaba, ngoba ukwesaba kulobuhlungu; lowesabayo kapheleliswanga ethandweni.
Kusiila ludwesi mun'kate mulughano. Looli ulughano ulwa kyang'haani luvusia uludwesi, ulwakuva uludwesi luhwananisivua nu vuhighi. Mu uluo jula juno alinuludwesi ulughano alivuvule.
19 Thina siyamthanda, ngoba yena wasithanda kuqala.
Tulinulughano ulwakuva u Nguluve alyatughanile taasi.
20 Uba umuntu esithi: Ngiyamthanda uNkulunkulu, njalo ezonda umzalwane wakhe, ungumqambimanga; ngoba ongamthandiyo umzalwane wakhe ambonileyo, angamthanda njani uNkulunkulu angambonanga?
Nave jumo iliiti, “Nimughanile u Nguluve” neke ikun'kalalila unyalukolo ghwa mwene, ujuo n'desi. Ulwakuvajuno namughanile unyalukolo ghwa mwene, juno na ikumwagha, nangamughane uNguluve juno namwaghile.
21 Njalo silalumlayo ovela kuye, ukuthi othanda uNkulunkulu, kamthande lomzalwane wakhe.
Ulu lwe lulaghilo luno tulinalo kuhuma kwa mwene: Ghwe ghwoni juno ikumughana u Nguluve, anoghile kukumughana unyalukolo ghwa mwene.
