1 Yohani 3
1 Mlola, uganu wa Dadi cheuvi ukulu weukita tikemelewa tavana va Chapanga! Na chakaka ndi chativili, ndi muni vandu va pamulima vatimanyili lepi tete ndava muni vammanyili lepi Chapanga.
See what kind of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God; and we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know him.
2 Mwava nkozi, hinu tavana va Chapanga, nambu yakona yangamanyikana hotohoto chetivyayi. Nambu timayili kuvya penapo Kilisitu peibwela yati tiwanangana nayu ndava yati tikumlola ngati cheavili.
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. We know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.
3 Na kila mundu mweavi na huvalila yeniyo ndi akujinyambisa, ngati Kilisitu cheanyambiswi.
Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
4 Kila mundu mweikita gahakau akugabela malagizu ga Chapanga, ndava kumbudila Chapanga ndi kuyibela malagizu ga Chapanga.
Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
5 Kilisitu abwelili ndava ya kuwusa kumbudila kwitu Chapanga, na mwene ambudili lepi Chapanga.
You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and in him is no sin.
6 Kila mundu mweitama mukuwungana na Kilisitu iyendelela lepi kumbudila Chapanga. Yoyoha mweiyendelela kumbudila Chapanga, amuwene lepi amala ammanyili lepi.
Whoever remains in him does not sin. Whoever sins hasn't seen him, neither knows him.
7 Vana vangu, mundu akotoka kuvakonga! Mweikita gabwina kwa Chapanga akumganisa Chapanga muni Kilisitu mmbwina neju palongolo ya Chapanga.
Children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 Mweikita gahakau ndi wa Setani, ndava Muhakau ndi ambudili Chapanga kuhumila utumbula. Ndava yeniyo Mwana wa Chapanga abwelili pamulima muni ahalabisa lihengu loha la Mhakau.
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.
9 Kila mundu mweavili Mwana wa Chapanga akumbudila lepi Chapanga ndava muni wumi wa Chapanga utama mugati yaki ihotola lepi kumbudila Chapanga muni Chapanga ndi Dadi wavi.
Whoever is born of God does not commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 Kwa njila yeniyi tihotola kuvamanya vevavili vana va Chapanga na vevavili vana va Setani. Mundu yoyoha mwangakita gegavi gabwina palongolo yaki amala mundu mwanga mgana mlongo waki mwenuyo mwana lepi wa Chapanga.
In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever does not do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who does not love his brother.
11 Wenuwu ndi ujumbi wemwayuwini kuhumila kadeni kuvya: Tigananayi tete kwa tete.
For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;
12 Mkoto kuvya ngati Kaini mweavili mundu wa yula Muhakau akamukoma mlongo waki Abeli. Ndava ya kiki amkomili? Ndava matendu gaki gavi gahakau, na mlongo waki akitayi gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
13 Valongo vangu, mkoto kukangasa, ngati vandu va mulima vavavengii nyenye.
Therefore do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
14 Tete timanyi kuvya tihumi mulifwa tiyingi mukulama, ndava tivaganili valongo. Mwene mweangali uganu mwenuyo itama mumakakala ga lifwa.
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love remains in death.
15 Kila mweakumuvenga mlongo waki ndi mkomaji, na nyenye mumanyi kuvya mundu mkomaji avi lepi na wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has everlasting life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 Ndava ya lenili tiumanyi uganu chauvi, ndi muni Kilisitu awusili wumi waki ndava ya tete, na tete mewa tiwusa wumi witu ndava ya kuvatangatila valongo vitu.
By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
17 Nambu mundu avi na vindu vya pamulima, na akumlola mlongo waki igana, akabela kumuhengela lipyana, wu, ihotola wuli kujova akumgana Chapanga?
But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him?
18 Vana vangu tileka kuvagana vandu kwa kujova ndu nambu tivagana chakaka kwa kulangisa matendu.
Little children, let us not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
19 Ndi chetihotola kuvya tavandu vetivili na uchakaka, na tivili lepi na wogoyi mumitima yitu palongolo ya Chapanga.
And by this we will know that we are of the truth, and persuade our heart before him,
20 Ngati mitima yitu ikutikumbusa lepi kuvya tikumbudila Chapanga, timanyi kuvya Chapanga muvaha kuliku mitima hitu na mwene amanyili goha.
because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
21 Vankozi vangu, mitima yitu ngati yikutikumbusa lepi kuvya tikumbudila Chapanga hinu tivya lepi na wogoyi palongolo ya Chapanga.
Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;
22 Na chochoha chetikumuyupa, tichipata kwaki. Tiyuwanila mihilu yaki kukita gala gegakumganisa Chapanga.
and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 Mihilu yaki ndi iyi, kumsadika Yesu Kilisitu mweavili Mwana waki, na kuganana tavete ngati cheatilagizili.
This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus (the) Messiah, and love one another, even as he commanded us.
24 Vandu voha veviyidakila mihilu ya Chapanga vitama mukuwungana nayu. Vene vitama mugati ya Chapanga na Chapanga itama mugati yavi. Tete tigamanyili ago kwa njila ya Mpungu Msopi mweatipelili.
He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
