1 Johani 3
1 Tarirai kukura kworudo rwatakaitirwa naBaba, kuti tinzi vana vaMwari! Uye ndizvo zvatiri! Chinoita kuti nyika itadze kutiziva ndechokuti haina kumuziva iye.
And see how great is the love of the Father toward us, that sons he hath called us, and also made us! Therefore the world doth not know us, because that it hath also not known him.
2 Vadikani, zvino tiri vana vaMwari, uye zvatichazova zvichigere kuzivikanwa. Asi tinoziva kuti paachaonekwa, isu tichafanana naye, nokuti tichamuona sezvaari.
MY beloved, now are we the sons of Aloha; and it is not manifest, as yet, what we are to become, but we know, that when he is manifested, in his likeness we are and see him, according to that which he is.
3 Mumwe nomumwe ane tariro iyi maari anozvichenesa, sezvo iye akachena.
And every one who hath in him this hope, purifieth himself, as He is pure.
4 Munhu wose anotadza anodarika murayiro, zvechokwadi, chivi ndiko kudarika murayiro.
But whoever committeth sin doeth iniquity; for all sin is iniquity.
5 Asi munoziva kuti iye akaonekwa kuitira kuti abvise zvivi zvedu. Uye maari hamuna chivi.
And you know that he was manifested to bear our sins, and sin in him is not.
6 Hakuna munhu anogara maari anoramba achingotadza. Hakuna munhu anoramba achitadza, kana akamuona kana kuti akamuziva.
And every one who in him abideth, sinneth not. And every one who sinneth, hath not seen him, nor known him.
7 Vana vanodiwa, musarega munhu upi zvake achikutsausai. Uyo anoita zvakanaka, akarurama, saiye akarurama.
My sons, let no man deceive you: he who worketh righteousness is righteous, as also the Meshiha himself is righteous.
8 Uyo anoita zvakaipa ndowadhiabhori, nokuti dhiabhori akanga achingotadza kubva pakutanga. Mwanakomana waMwari akaonekwa nokuda kwaizvozvi kuti aparadze basa radhiabhori.
And he who doeth sin is of Satana, because that from the commencement Satana was a sinner. And for this cause did the Son of Aloha appear, that he might destroy the works of Satana.
9 Hakuna munhu akaberekwa naMwari anoramba achiita chivi, nokuti mbeu yaMwari inogara maari; haangarambi achingotadza, nokuti akaberekwa naMwari.
Every one who is born of Aloha, sin doth not work, because that his seed is in him, and he cannot sin, because of Aloha he is born.
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.
In this are distinguished the sons of Aloha from the sons of Satana; every one who doeth not righteousness, nor loveth his brother, is not of Aloha.
11 Iri ndiro shoko ramakanzwa kubva pakutanga: Tinofanira kudanana.
For this is the commandment which you have heard from before, that you love one another.
12 Musaita saKaini, akanga ari wowakaipa uye akaponda mununʼuna wake. Uye akamuurayireiko? Nokuti mabasa ake akanga akaipa uye omununʼuna wake akanga akarurama.
Not as Koen, who was from the Evil, and killed his brother. And on what account killed he him? unless that his own works were evil and his brother's righteous.
13 Musashamiswa, hama dzangu, kana nyika ichikuvengai.
Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 Tinoziva kuti takabva murufu tikaenda muupenyu, nokuti tinoda hama dzedu. Ani naani asingadi anogara murufu.
We know that we have passed from death unto life, by this, that we love our brethren. He who loveth not his brother, in death continueth.
15 Ani naani anovenga hama yake imhondi, uye munoziva kuti hakuna mhondi ino upenyu husingaperi mairi. (aiōnios g166)
For every one who hateth his brother is a man-killer; and we know that in no man-killer can abide the life which is eternal. (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.
In this we know His love toward us, that he gave himself for us; (so) also it is right for us for the sake of our brethren to give ourselves.
17 Kana munhu ane pfuma uye akaona hama yake ichishayiwa, asi akasainzwira tsitsi, rudo rwaMwari rungagara maari seiko?
And he who hath the possession of the world, and shall see his brother that he needeth, and shall shut his compassions from him, how is there in him the love of Aloha?
18 Vana vanodikanwa, ngatiregerei kuda namashoko kana norurimi, asi namabasa uye nechokwadi.
My sons, let us not love one another in words and in tongue, but in works and in truth.
19 Zvino, ndiwo maziviro edu kuti tiri vechokwadi, uye kuti mwoyo yedu inozorora sei pamberi pake
And by this we make known that we are of the truth, and before that he cometh we make confident our hearts.
20 pose patinopiwa mhosva nemwoyo yedu. Nokuti Mwari mukuru kupfuura mwoyo yedu, uye anoziva zvinhu zvose.
And if our heart condemn us, how much (more) Aloha, who is greater than our heart, and knoweth every thing!
21 Shamwari dzinodikanwa, kana mwoyo yedu isingatipi mhosva, tinako kuvimba pamberi paMwari
My beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have openness of face before Aloha.
22 uye tinogamuchira kubva kwaari zvose zvatinokumbira, nokuti tinoteerera mirayiro yake uye tinoita zvinomufadza.
And whatever we ask, we shall receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are beautiful before him.
23 Uye uyu ndiwo murayiro wake: kutenda muzita roMwanakomana wake, Jesu Kristu, uye nokuda mumwe nomumwe wedu sezvaakatirayira.
And this is his commandment, That we believe in the name of his Son Jeshu Meshiha, and love one another, as he hath commanded us.
24 Avo vanoteerera mirayiro yake vanogara maari, naiye mavari. Uye izvi ndizvo zvinoita kuti tizive kuti iye anogara matiri: Tinozviziva noMweya waakatipa.
And he who keepeth his commandments, is kept by him, and he dwelleth in him: and by this we perceive that he dwelleth in us, by his Spirit whom he hath given to us.
