Amubone luyando Taata ndwakatupa, kuti tuteegwa tulibana baLeza, ino mbombubo mbotubede. Akaambo aka nyika titwiizi, nkambo teyakamuziba pe. Zimwi zyensiku zipati zililembedwe muchiGiliki zilasiya eezi, ezi nzizyo nzituli nzizyo.
2 Vadikani, zvino tiri vana vaMwari, uye zvatichazova zvichigere kuzivikanwa. Asi tinoziva kuti paachaonekwa, isu tichafanana naye, nokuti tichamuona sezvaari.
Nomuyandwa, lino twaba bana ba Leza, alimwi tazina yubununwa nzituyooba nzizyo. Tulizi kuti Kkilisito apamuka, tuyooba mbuli nguwe, nkambo tuyomubona mbubonya mbuli mbwabede.
3 Mumwe nomumwe ane tariro iyi maari anozvichenesa, sezvo iye akachena.
Woonse ujisi bulangizi obu mulinguwe ulalisalazya mbubonya mbuuli mbwasalala we lwakwe.
4 Munhu wose anotadza anodarika murayiro, zvechokwadi, chivi ndiko kudarika murayiro.
Woonse uubisya ulimukuchita nchito zitali mumulawu, nkambo chibi nkutaba mumulawu.
5 Asi munoziva kuti iye akaonekwa kuitira kuti abvise zvivi zvedu. Uye maari hamuna chivi.
Mulizi kuti Kkilisito wakayubununwa kuchitila kuti agwisye zibi, alimwi mulinguwe tamukwe chibi pe.
6 Hakuna munhu anogara maari anoramba achingotadza. Hakuna munhu anoramba achitadza, kana akamuona kana kuti akamuziva.
Taakwe ukkalilila mulinguwe uyoyinkilila kunembo kabisya. Tawope wakamubona akumuziba uyinkilila kunembo akubisya.
7 Vana vanodiwa, musarega munhu upi zvake achikutsausai. Uyo anoita zvakanaka, akarurama, saiye akarurama.
Nobana, mutalekeli muntu naba omwe kuti amuzulwide mukusweeka. Ooyo uuchita bululami uliluleme, mbubonya Kkilisito mbwaluleme.
8 Uyo anoita zvakaipa ndowadhiabhori, nokuti dhiabhori akanga achingotadza kubva pakutanga. Mwanakomana waMwari akaonekwa nokuda kwaizvozvi kuti aparadze basa radhiabhori.
Oyo uchita chibi uzwa kuli dyabulosi, nkambo dyabulosi wakabisya kuzwa kumatalikilo. Akambo aka Mwana wa Leza wakayubununwa, kuchitila kuti anyoonyone milimu yadyabulosi.
9 Hakuna munhu akaberekwa naMwari anoramba achiita chivi, nokuti mbeu yaMwari inogara maari; haangarambi achingotadza, nokuti akaberekwa naMwari.
Ooyo iwakazyalwa kuzwa kwa Leza tayinkilili kunembo kabisya pe, nkambo imbuto ya Leza ikkalilide mulinguwe. Takonzyi kwinkililila kunembo kabisya nkambo wakazyalwa a Leza.
10 Ndiwo maziviro edu kuti vana vaMwari ndevapi uye kuti vana vadhiabhori ndevapi: Ani naani asingaiti zvakarurama haasi mwana waMwari; uyewo uyo asingadi hama yake.
Muleezi bana ba Leza abana ba dyabulosi balayubununwa. Kufumbwa uutachiti ziluleme tazwi kwa-Leza, nikuba ooyo utayandi munyina.
11 Iri ndiro shoko ramakanzwa kubva pakutanga: Tinofanira kudanana.
Aaya ngimakani ngimwakamvwa kuzwa kumatalikilo: Tweelede kuyandana umwi awumwi,
12 Musaita saKaini, akanga ari wowakaipa uye akaponda mununʼuna wake. Uye akamuurayireiko? Nokuti mabasa ake akanga akaipa uye omununʼuna wake akanga akarurama.
tatwelede kuba mbuli Kkayini, wakazwide kumubi alimwi wakajaya munyina. Ino wakamujilaanzi? Nkambo milimu yakwe yakali mibi ino yamunyiina kiluleme.
13 Musashamiswa, hama dzangu, kana nyika ichikuvengai.
Mutagambi, nobakwesu, na inyika yamusula.
14 Tinoziva kuti takabva murufu tikaenda muupenyu, nokuti tinoda hama dzedu. Ani naani asingadi anogara murufu.
Tulizi kuti twakiinda kuzwa mulufu akunjila mubuumi, nkambo tulabayanda bakwesu, oyo utakonzyi kuyanda ukkalilide mulufu.
15 Ani naani anovenga hama yake imhondi, uye munoziva kuti hakuna mhondi ino upenyu husingaperi mairi. (aiōnios g166)
Kufumbwa uusula munyina mujayi. Mulizi kuti taakwe mujayi ulaabuumi butamani pe bukkede mulinguwe. (aiōnios g166)
16 Aya ndiwo maziviro edu kuti rudo rwakadini: Jesu Kristu akapa upenyu hwake nokuda kwedu. Uye isu tinofanira kupa upenyu hwedu nokuda kwehama dzedu.
Aazezi mbutulwizi luyando, nkambo Kkilisito wakatulazikila buumi bwakwe aansi. Aswebo twelede kulazikila babunyina buumi bwesu aansi.
17 Kana munhu ane pfuma uye akaona hama yake ichishayiwa, asi akasainzwira tsitsi, rudo rwaMwari rungagara maari seiko?
Pele kufumbwa uujisi zintu zyenyika, nabona munyina uubulide, wamujalila moyo waluzyalo, ino luyando lwa Leza lukkalilila byeni muli nguwe?
18 Vana vanodikanwa, ngatiregerei kuda namashoko kana norurimi, asi namabasa uye nechokwadi.
Bana bangu, luyando lwenu lutabi lwamajwi biyo na kuti alulimi biyo, pele munchiito amubwini.
19 Zvino, ndiwo maziviro edu kuti tiri vechokwadi, uye kuti mwoyo yedu inozorora sei pamberi pake
Mukuchita boobu nitutazibe kuti tuzwa kubwini, alimwi tusimya myoyo yesu kunembo lyakwe.
20 pose patinopiwa mhosva nemwoyo yedu. Nokuti Mwari mukuru kupfuura mwoyo yedu, uye anoziva zvinhu zvose.
Na kuti myoyo yesu kitusowa, Leza mupati kwinda myoyo yesu, alimwi ulizi zintu zyoonse.
21 Shamwari dzinodikanwa, kana mwoyo yedu isingatipi mhosva, tinako kuvimba pamberi paMwari
Nomuyandwa, kuti myoyo yesu kitatusowi, tulabulangizi kuli Leza.
22 uye tinogamuchira kubva kwaari zvose zvatinokumbira, nokuti tinoteerera mirayiro yake uye tinoita zvinomufadza.
Kufumbwa nzitukumbila tulazitambula kuzwa kuli nguwe, nkambo tuliibamba milawu yakwe akuchita zintu zimubotelezya.
23 Uye uyu ndiwo murayiro wake: kutenda muzita roMwanakomana wake, Jesu Kristu, uye nokuda mumwe nomumwe wedu sezvaakatirayira.
Oyu ngomulawu wakwe: kuti tusyome muzina lya Mwana wakwe Jesu Kkilisito alimwi tuyandane umwi awumwi, mbubonya mbuli mbwakapa mulawu oyu.
24 Avo vanoteerera mirayiro yake vanogara maari, naiye mavari. Uye izvi ndizvo zvinoita kuti tizive kuti iye anogara matiri: Tinozviziva noMweya waakatipa.
Ooyo uubamba milawu ya Leza wakkalilila muli nguwe. Nkaambo kazeezi tulizi kuti ulakkalilila muli ndiswe, kwinda mu Muuya ngwakatupa swebo.
