1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life
Tukunlembela ŵanyamwe utenga wa Ngani ja ajula jwakuŵilanjikwa Liloŵe jwakwikanawo umi, juŵapali chitandile kundanda. Uwe twampikene ni kumbona kwa meeso getu twachinsyene, twammweni ni kunkwaya kwa makono getu twachinsyene.
2 (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us); (aiōnios g166)
Jwele jwakwikanawo umi wo paŵaiche, twammweni, noweji tukuŵalanga umboni ni kunlalichila ŵanyamwe nkati umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Jwelejo ŵaliji kwa Atati ni sambano atukopochele uweji. (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
Tukunlalichila nkati Che Yesu, jutwammweni ni kumpilikana, kuti nombe ŵanyamwe nlumbikane pamo noweji mu umo watukwete nkulumbikana kwetu ni Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito Mwanagwe.
4 And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.
Tukunlembela ŵanyamwe indu yi kuti lukondwa lwenu ni lwetu lumalilwe.
5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Ngani jitwajipikene kutyochela ku Che Yesu ni jitukunlalichila ŵanyamwe jili: Akunnungu ali lulanga, ni ngapagwa chipi munkati mwakwe.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and don’t tell the truth.
Twasalaga tulumbikene ni Akunnungu, akuno tuli nkupanganya ya chigongomalo ili mpela tukutama muchipi, tukusala unami ni indu yatukuitendekanya ngaŵa ya usyene.
7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
Nambo twatamaga mu lulanga, mpela Akunnungu nsyene yakuti kutama mu lulanga, tukulumbikana pamo jwine ni jwine, ni miasi ji Che Yesu jwaali Mwanagwao, jikutuswejesya sambi syose.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Twajilaga nganitukola sambi, tukulilambusya twachinsyene, ni usyene nganiuŵa mwetuwe.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Nambo twajitichisyaga ni kusala kwa Akunnungu kuti tukwete sambi, ŵelewo ali ŵakulupilichika ni ali ŵambone moŵa gose, nombejo chatulechelesye sambi syetu ni kutuswejesya ni yakunyakasya yose.
10 If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Twajilaga nganitukola sambi tukuntenda Akunnungu ali jwaunani, ni liloŵe lyao nganilipagwa mwetuwe.
