1 Yohani 1
1 Tikuvayandikila nyenye kumvala mundu mmonga mweikemiwa Lilovi mweakuvapela vandu wumi wewavili kuhumila kadeni. Tete tamuyuwini na kumlola kwa mihu gitu tavete, tamlolili na kumukamula kwa mawoko gitu tavete.
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2 Na yula mweileta wumi peabwelili, tamuwene tavete na hinu tijova malovi gaki na tikuvakokosela na kuvajovela ndava ya wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu, mwene avili kwa Dadi na hinu atihumili tete. (aiōnios g166)
( For the life was revealed, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show to you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us; ) (aiōnios g166)
3 Chetachiweni na kuchiyuwana ndi chetikuvakokosela nyenye mewa, muni na nyenye muumonga wetivi nawu muni mukuwungana na Chapanga Dadi witu na Mwana waki Yesu Kilisitu.
That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Tikuvayandikila nyenye mambu aga muni nyenye na tete tivya na luheku lwelutimili.
And these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.
5 Hinu, ujumbi wetauyuwini kwaki Yesu na wetavakokosili ndi uwu: Chapanga ndi lumuli na kawaka chitita chochoha mugati yaki.
This then is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 Tikajova kuvya mukuwungana nayu, nambu titama muchitita ndi tijova udese, na matendu gitu ga chakaka lepi.
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 Nambu ngati titama mu lumuli ngati mwene cheavili mu lumuli, tivya na umonga tete tavete pamonga na ngasi ya Yesu mweavi Mwana waki, yikutinyambisa kumbudila kwitu Chapanga kwoha.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 Tikajova kuvya tikumbudila lepi Chapanga, tikujikonga tavete, na uchakaka uvi lepi mugati yitu.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Nambu tikayidakila na kujova kwa Chapanga kuvya tibudili, Chapanga ndi msadikika na yati ihenga gegiganikiwa, na mwene yati akutilekekesa mabudilu gitu na kutinyambisa uhakau woha.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Ngati tikajova tikiti lepi uhakau, tikumukita Chapanga ndi mdese na lilovi laki livili lepi mugati mwitu.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
