< Johane I 4 >
1 Ditsala tse di rategang, se dumeleng sengwe le sengwe se lo se utlwang fela ka gore mongwe a re ke molaetsa o o tswang kwa Modimong. O sekasekeng go bona gore a ke one tota. Gonne go setse go na le baruti ba le bantsi ba e seng ba boammaaruri,
Abhendwa, mutekilishaga bhuli Mwoyo, mbe nawe nimujisakega emioyo mujilole alabha ejisoka ku Nyamuanga, ku nsonga abhalagi bhafu abho lulimi bhabhonekene mu chalo.
2 mme tsela ya go bona gore a molaetsa wa bone o tswa mo Moweng O O Boitshepo ke go botsa potso e e reng, “A go dumelesega tota gore Jesu Keresete, Morwa Modimo, o ne a nna motho a le mo mmeleng wa setho fela jaaka rona?” Fa e le gore go ntse jalo, mme molaetsa o tswa kwa Modimong.
Mu linu omutula okumumenya Mwoyo wa Nyamuanga- bhuli Mwoyo gunu ogwikilisha ati Yesu Kristo ejile mu mubhili ni wa Nyamuanga,
3 Fa e le gore ga go a nna jalo, molaetsa ga o tswe kwa Modimong, o tswa kwa go yo o tlhabantshang Keresete, jaaka “Moganetsa-Keresete” yo lo utlwileng ka ga gagwe yo o tlaa tlang mme mokgwa wa gagwe wa bobaba o o tlhabantshang ba ba kgatlhanong le Keresete,
no Mwoyo gunu gutakumwikilisha Yesu gutali gwa Nyamuanga. Gunu ni Mwoyo gwo kumulema Kristo, gunu mwonguywe ati gwejile, na wolyanu bhwangu gulu mu Chalo.
4 gonne go na le mongwe mo dipelong tsa lona yo o nonofileng go gaisa moruti mongwe le mongwe yo o bosula mo lefatsheng leno la boikepo.
Emwe muli bha Nyamuanga, abhana abhendwa, na mwamalile okubhaiga ku nsonga unu abhalimo emwe ni mukulu kukila unu ali mu Chalo.
5 Batho ba ke ba lefatshe leno, jalo ka tlholego ba beile megopolo fela mo dilong tsa lefatshe ebile lefatshe le a ba reetsa.
Bhenene ni bha mu Chalo, kulwejo chinu abhaika ni je chalo, ne Chalo echibhategelesha.
6 Mme rona re bana ba Modimo; ke sone se e leng gore ba ba tsamayang le Modimo ba bo ba bua le One ke bone fela ba ba tlaa re reetsang. Ba bangwe ga ba kitla ba re reetsa, ke yone tsela e nngwe ya go itse gore a molaetsa o tswa kwa Modimong tota; gonne fa e le gore go ntse jalo, lefatshe ga le na go o reetsa.
Eswe chili bha Nyamuanga. Mwenene unu kamumenya Nyamuanga kachungwa eswe. omwene unu atali wa Nyamuanga atakutula kuchitegelesha. Mu linu echimenya Mwoyo we chimali na Mwoyo wo lulimi.
7 Ditsala tse di rategang, a re itlwaetseng go ratana, gonne lorato lo tswa kwa Modimong mme ba ba ratang ebile ba le pelonomi ba supa gore ke bana ba Modimo, le gore ba simolola go o tlhaloganya botoka.
Abhendwa, chendane eswe abhene kwa bhene, lwa kutyo okwenda ni kwa Nyamuanga, na bhuli umwi unu Kenda ebhuywe na Nyamuanga no kumumenya Nyamuanga.
8 Mme fa motho a sena lorato le bopelonomi, go supa gore ga a itse Modimo, gonne Modimo ke lorato.
Omwene unu atakwenda atakumumenya Nyamuanga, ku nsonga Nyamuanga ni lyenda.
9 Modimo o supile ka fa o re ratang ka teng ka go roma Morwaone yo o tsetsweng a le esi mo lefatsheng leno la boikepo go re leretse botshelo ja bosakhutleng ka loso lwa gagwe.
Okwenda kwa Nyamuanga kwasuluywe mwiswe, ati Nyamuanga amutumile omwana waye enyele-la mu chalo koleleki chilamile okulabha ku mwene.
10 Ka tiro e, re bona gore lorato lwa boammaaruri ke eng: ga se ka fa re ratang Modimo ka teng, mme ke lorato lwa One mo go rona go simolola ka nako e o neng o roma Morwaone go tla go nna setlhabelo se se ntsheditsweng dibe tsa rona.
Mu lyenda linu, atali ati chamwendele Nyamuanga, mbe nawe omwene niwe achendele, no kumutuma omwana waye abhe chogo kulwe bhibhibhi bhyeswe.
11 Ditsala tse di rategang, ere ka Modimo o re ratile mo go kalo, re tshwanetse go ratana le rona.
Abhendwa, alabha Nyamuanga achendele eswe, nikwo kutyo kuchiile eswe one okwendana abhene kwa bhene.
12 Gonne le fa re ise re ke re bone Modimo, fa re ratana Modimo o nna mo go rona, le lorato lwa One mo go rona lo a nonofa.
Atalio nolwo umwi unu alamulolele Nyamuanga. Alabha chikendana eswe abhene kwa bhene, Nyamuanga achikayemo Munda yeswe ne lyenda lyaye likumiye mwiswe.
13 Ebile o tsentse Mowa wa One O O Boitshepo mo dipelong tsa rona e le sesupo mo go rona gore re nna le One mme le One o nna le rona.
Mu linu echimenya ati chikaye mu mwene no mwene mwiswe, ku nsonga achiyaye Mwoyo waye.
14 Ebile gape, re bonye ka matlho a rona mme jaanong re bolelela lefatshe lotlhe gore Modimo o romile Morwaone go nna Mmoloki wa bone.
Chilolele no kubhambalila ati Lata amutumile omwana waye ati abhe mwelusi we Chalo.
15 Le fa e le mang yo o dumelang gore Jesu ke Modimo, Modimo o nna mo go ene le ene mo go One.
Bhuli unu kekilisha ati Yesu ni mwana wa Nyamuanga, Nyamuanga kekala mu mwene no mwene mu Nyamuanga.
16 Re itse gore Modimo o re rata go le kae gonne re ikutlwetse lorato lwa one, ebile re a o dumela fa o re bolelela gore o re rata thata. Modimo ke lorato, mme le fa e le mang yo o nnetseng ruri mo loratong o nnetse ruri mo Modimong le Modimo o nnetse ruri mo go ene.
Ne echimenya no kwikilisha elyenda linu Nyamuanga ali nalyo mwiswe. Nyamuanga ni kwenda, no mwene unu kekala mu lyenda kekala munda ya Nyamuanga, na Nyamuanga one kekala munda yaye.
17 Mme ka re nna le Keresete, lorato lwa rona lo gola sentle thata ka boitekanelo; jalo he ga re na go tlhajwa ke ditlhong re bo re swaba ka letsatsi la tshekiso, mme re tlaa lebagana nae ka tshepo le ka boitumelo, gonne o a re rata mme le rona re a mo rata.
Mu lyenda linu lyamalile okukumisibhwa agati yeswe, koleleki chibhe no bhubhasi ku lusiku lwa indamu, ku nsonga lwa kutyo mwene ali, neswe one nikwo kutyo chili mu Chalo chinu.
18 Ga re a tshwanela go boifa motho yo o re ratang ka lorato lo lo itekanetseng, lorato lwa gagwe lwa boammaaruri lo nyeletsa pelaelo yotlhe ka bosula jo re bo mo gopolelang go bo dira mo go rona, mme mo go supa gore ga re dumele ka botlalo gore o re rata e le ruri.
Mu kwenda bhutalimo bhubha. Mbe nawe elyenda linu likumiye eibhwesa anja, ku nsonga obhubha bhililene na indamu. Mbe nawe omwene unu kobhaya atakumisibhwe mu lyenda.
19 Jalo a lo lemoga gore go mo rata ga rona go dirwa ke go bo a re ratile pele.
Echenda kulwo kubha Nyamuanga achendele okwamba.
20 Fa mongwe a re, “Ke rata Modimo,” mme a tswelela ka go ila mogagabo ke moaki; gonne fa a sa rate mogagabo yo o mmonang ka matlho, o ka rata jang Modimo o a iseng a ke a o bone?
Akabha oumwi akaika ati, “Enimwenda Nyamuanga” Mbe nawe amusokele owabho, ni mulimi. Ku nsonga unu atakumwenda owabho, unu kamulola, atakutula okumwenda Nyamuanga unu achaliga kumulola.
21 Mme Modimo ka sebele o rile motho a seka a rata Modimo fela, mme a rate le mogagabo.
Na chinu nicho echilagilo chinu chili nacho okusoka ku mwene: wona wona unu kamwenda Nyamuanga, kumwiile amwende no wabho one.
