1 Yohani 1
1 Tuwalembera mwenga kuusu Shisoweru gwa ukomu yakaweriti kwanjira kwanja. Twenga tupata kumpikinira na kumuwona kwa masu getu twaweni, tumloliti na kumkola kwa mawoku getu twaweni.
THAT which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled of the word of life;
2 Ukomu ayu pakalawiriti twenga tumuwoniti na tutakula visoweru vyakuwi na kuwabwelera ukomu ayu gwa mashaka goseri, yakaweriti kwa Tati na kalanguziyitwi kwa twenga. (aiōnios g166)
(for the life was manifested, and we have beheld it, and bear testimony, and declare unto you that life eternal, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us; ) (aiōnios g166)
3 Tuwabwelera mwenga shilii shatushiwoniti na kushipikinira, su mwenga mpati kutenda pamuhera natwenga muwumu yatuwera nagu na Tati na Mwana gwakuwi Yesu Kristu.
that which we have seen and heard, declare we to you, that ye also may have communion with us: and indeed our communion is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Twankuwalembera vitwatira avi su nemeleru ya twenga imalilika.
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be complete.
5 Su ujumbi yatuwupikaniriti kwakuwi na yatuwabwelera mwenga kuwera Mlungu ndo ulangala na kwakuwi kwahera luwindu nakamu.
And this is the promise which we have heard from him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and that darkness in him there is none.
6 Patulonga kuwera twana uwumu nayomberi na uganu patugendagenda muluwindu, twenga tupaya na matendu getu ganakaka ndiri.
If we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and practise not the truth:
7 Kumbiti patugendagenda muulangala gambira Mlungu ntambu yakalikala muulangala, su hatuweri na umu twaweni gweka na mwazi gwakuwi Yesu Kristu, Mwana gwakuwi, gwankutupunga vidoda vyoseri.
but if we walk in the light, as he is himself in the light, we have communion with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 Patutakula kuwera twahera vidoda, twankulipayira twaweni na unakaka kwahera mngati mwetu.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Kumbiti patuleka vidoda vyatutenda, yomberi ndo mwaminika na muheri mashaka goseri, hakatulekiziyi vidoda vyetu na kutupunga ukondola woseri.
If we confess our sins, faithful is he and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Patutakula kuwera tutenda ndiri vidoda, hatumtendi Mlungu kuwera mpayira na shisoweru shakuwi kwahera mngati mwetu.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
