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,
Abaagalwa, temukkirizanga buli myoyo, naye musookenga okugyetegereza mulabe obanga givudde eri Katonda, kubanga kaakano waliwo bannabbi ab’obulimba bangi mu nsi.
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.
Eno y’engeri gye tutegeeramu Mwoyo wa Katonda: buli ayatula nti Yesu Kristo yafuuka omubiri, ng’ava eri Katonda, oyo y’alina Mwoyo wa Katonda.
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,
Naye buli mwoyo ogutayatula Yesu nga teguvudde eri Katonda. Ogwo gwe mwoyo ogw’Omulabe wa Kristo, gwe mwawulira nti ajja mu nsi, era amaze okutuuka.
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.
Mmwe, abaana abaagalwa, muli ba Katonda era mumaze okuwangula, kubanga oyo ali mu mmwe wa maanyi okusinga oyo ali mu nsi.
5 Batho ba ke ba lefatshe leno, jalo ka tlholego ba beile megopolo fela mo dilong tsa lefatshe ebile lefatshe le a ba reetsa.
Bo ba nsi era boogera bya nsi, era abantu b’ensi kyebava babawuliriza.
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.
Naye ffe tuli bantu ba Katonda, era buli amanyi Katonda atuwuliriza; atali wa Katonda tatuwuliriza. Eyo y’engeri gye tusobola okwawulamu omwoyo ogw’amazima n’omwoyo ogw’obulimba.
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.
Abaagalwa, twagalanenga, kubanga okwagala kuva eri Katonda, era buli alina okwagala mwana wa Katonda, era amanyi Katonda.
8 Mme fa motho a sena lorato le bopelonomi, go supa gore ga a itse Modimo, gonne Modimo ke lorato.
Naye buli atalina kwagala tamanyi Katonda, kubanga Katonda kwagala.
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.
Katonda yatulaga okwagala kwe, bwe yatuma mu nsi Omwana we omu yekka bw’ati, tulyoke tube abalamu ku bw’oyo.
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 kino mwe tutegeerera ddala okwagala kwennyini, kubanga teyakikola lwa kuba nti ffe twali twagala Katonda, naye ye yennyini ye yatwagala, n’awaayo Omwana we ng’omutango olw’ebibi byaffe.
11 Ditsala tse di rategang, ere ka Modimo o re ratile mo go kalo, re tshwanetse go ratana le rona.
Kale abaagalwa, nga Katonda bwe yatwagala bw’atyo naffe tuteekwa okwagalananga.
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.
Tewali n’omu eyali alabye ku Katonda, naye bwe twagalana, Katonda abeera mu ffe, n’okwagala kwe ne kulabikira mu ffe.
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 ekyo mwe tutegeerera nti Katonda ali mu ffe era naffe tuli mu Ye, olwa Mwoyo gw’atuwadde.
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.
Era ffe twamulaba n’amaaso gaffe, kyetuva tutegeeza nti Kitaffe yatuma Omwana we okuba Omulokozi w’ensi.
15 Le fa e le mang yo o dumelang gore Jesu ke Modimo, Modimo o nna mo go ene le ene mo go One.
Kale buli ayatula nti Yesu Mwana wa Katonda, nga Katonda ali mu ye era nga naye ali mu Katonda.
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.
Ffe tumanyi okwagala kwa Katonda era tukkiririza mu kwagala kwe okwo kw’alina gye tuli. Katonda kwagala, era buli abeera n’okwagala abeera mu Katonda, ne Katonda abeera mu ye.
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.
Bwe twagala bannaffe nga Kristo bwe yakola ng’ali mu nsi muno, tetulibaako kye tweraliikirira ku lunaku olw’okusalirako omusango.
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 kwagala temuliimu kutya, kubanga okwagala okutuukiridde kumalawo okutya; kubanga okutya kulimu okubonerezebwa, na buli atya, aba tannatuukirira mu kwagala.
19 Jalo a lo lemoga gore go mo rata ga rona go dirwa ke go bo a re ratile pele.
Tulina okwagala kubanga Ye ye yasooka okutwagala.
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?
Omuntu yenna bw’agamba nti, “Njagala Katonda,” naye n’akyawa muganda we, omuntu oyo mulimba. Kubanga buli atayagala muganda we gw’alabako, tasobola kwagala Katonda gw’atalabangako.
21 Mme Modimo ka sebele o rile motho a seka a rata Modimo fela, mme a rate le mogagabo.
Era Katonda yennyini yatulagira nti, “Buli ayagala Katonda ayagalenga ne muganda we.”
