1 Yohana 3
1 Mulole ni pendo lya namna gani lyatupeile Tate, panga tukemelwa bana ba Nnongo, na yelo nga tubile. Kwa mana yee ulimwengu ututangite kwaa mana umtangite kwaa ywembe,
See what love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God; because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
2 Apendwa twenga nambeambe ni bana ba Nnongo, na yaridhika kwaa bado jinsi yatubile. Tutangite panga Kristo paabonekana, twalowa fanana naywembe, mana twambweni kati yaabile.
Beloved, now, we are children of God, and it was not yet revealed what we will be. We have known that if He may have appeared, we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is;
3 Na kila yumo ambaye abile na ujasiri wolo kuhusu muda woisa wauelekezwa kwake, hujitakasa mwene kati ywembe yaabile mtakatifu.
and everyone who is having this hope on Him, purifies himself, even as He is pure.
4 Kila undu ywaendelea kupanga sambi kuitekwaniya saliya. Kwa sababu sambi ni kutekwania saliya.
Everyone who is doing sin, he also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,
5 Mutangite Kristo atidhihirishwa ili kuziondoa sambi kabisa.
and you have known that He appeared that He may take away our sins, and sin is not in Him;
6 Ntopo hata yumo ywadumu nkati yake na kuendelea kupanga sambi, Ntopo mundu hata yumo ywadumu katika sambi mana itei amweni au kuntanga ywembe.
everyone who is remaining in Him does not sin; everyone who is sinning, has not seen Him, nor known Him.
7 Bana bapendwa, kana mkubali kupotoshwa na mundu yeyote. Ywapanga haki ni mwene haki, mana yelo Kristo ywembe abile mwenye haki.
Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous,
8 Ywapanga sambi ni ba ibilisi, kwa sababu ibilisi ni mpanga sambi tangu mwanzo. Kwa mana yee Mwana wa Nnongo atidhihirishwa ili aweze kuziharibu ili aweze kuziharibu kazi za ibilisi.
he who is doing sin, he is of the Devil, because the Devil sins from the beginning; for this [reason] the Son of God appeared, that He may undo the works of the Devil;
9 Yeyote ywabelekilwe na Nnongo apanga kwaa sambi, kwa sababu mbeyu ya Nnongo utama nkati yake. Aweza kwaa kuendelea kupanga sambi kwa sababu abelekilwe na Nnongo.
everyone who has been begotten of God, he does not sin, because His seed remains in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been begotten of God.
10 Katika lee bana ba Nnongo na bana ba ibilisi abtangitwe Yeyote ywapanga kwaa chakibile cha haki, cha Nnongo kwaa, wala yolo ambaye aweza kwaa kumpenda nongowe.
In this are revealed the children of God, and the children of the Devil; everyone who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,
11 Mana wolo nga ujumbe muuyowine boka mwanzo, panga tupalikwa kupendana twenga kwa twenga,
because this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we may love one another,
12 abile kwaa kati kaini ambaye abile wa nchela na atimbulaga nongowe. Na kwa mwanja namani atimbulaga? Kwa mana matendo gake gabile mabou, na yalo ya nongowe yabile ya haki.
not as Cain—he was of the evil one, and he slew his brother. And for [what] reason did he slay him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother [were] righteous.
13 Alongo bango, kana mushangae, mana ulimwengu utabachukiya.
Do not wonder, my brothers, if the world hates you;
14 Tutangite tuyomwile boka mu'kiwo na kuyingya mu'ukoto, kwa mana twaapenda alongo. Yeyote ambaye abile kwaa na upendo utama katika kiwo.
we have known that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers; he who is not loving [his] brother remains in death.
15 Mundu yeyote ywamchukia nongowe ni muuaji. Na mutangite kuwa ukoto wa milele utama kwaa nkati ya muuaji. (aiōnios g166)
Everyone who is hating his brother is a manslayer, and you have known that no manslayer has continuous life remaining in him; (aiōnios g166)
16 Katika lee tutangite lipendo, kwa sababu kristo atiutoa ukoto wake kwa ajili yitu. Twenga tupalikwa kuyatoa maisha yitu kwa ajili ya nongo.
in this we have known love, because He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brothers;
17 Lakini yeyote ywabile na ilebe, na ambona nongowe mwenye uhitaji, lakini huuzuia moyo wake wa huruma kwa ajili yake; je upendo wa Nnongo utama kinamani nkati yake?
and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his yearnings from him—how does the love of God remain in him?
18 Bana bango bapenzi, tupende kwaa mikano wala kwa maneno matupu ila katika vitendo na kweli.
My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in work and in truth!
19 Katika lee tutangite panga twenga tubile katika kweli, na mioyo yitu inathibitika katika ywembe.
And in this we know that we are of the truth, and before Him we will assure our hearts,
20 mana itei kati mioyo yitu yatuhukumu, Nnongo ni nkolo kuliko mioyo yitu, na ywembe utanga makowe yote.
because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He knows all things.
21 Apenzi, mana yitu yatuhukumu, tubile na ujasiri kwa Nnongo.
Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,
22 Na chochote tukiloba twakipokya boka kwake, kwa sababu twazikamwa amri yake na tugapanga makowe yagampendeza nnongi yake.
and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commands, and we do the things pleasing before Him,
23 Na yee nga amri yake-ya panga tupalika kuamini katika lina lya mwana wake Yesu Kristo ma kupendana twenga kwa twenga kati yatupatia amri yake.
and this is His command, that we may believe in the Name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He gave command to us,
24 Ywaziheshimu amri zake utama nkati yake, na Nnongo utama nkati yake. Na kwa sababu yee tutangite panga utama nkati yitu. Kwa yolo Roho ywatupile.
and he who is keeping His commands, remains in Him, and He in him; and in this we know that He remains in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.
