1 Yochanan 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
Habari hii ya yahusu Neno la uzima lililokuwako tangu mwanzo. Sisi tumepata kulisikia na kuliona kwa macho yetu wenyewe; tulilitazama na kulishika kwa mikono yetu wenyewe.
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)
Uzima huo ulipotokea sisi tuliuona na sasa tunasema habari zake na kuwaambieni juu ya uzima huo wa milele uliokuwa kwa Baba na uliodhihirishwa kwetu. (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you also, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Yeshua the Messiah.
Tulichokiona na kukisikia ndicho tunachowatangazieni ninyi pia ili nanyi mpate kushirikiana nasi katika umoja tulio nao na Baba na Mwanae Yesu Kristo.
4 And we write these things, that our joy may be fulfilled.
Tunawaandikia ninyi mambo haya kusudi furaha yetu ikamilike.
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.
Basi, habari tuliyoisikia kwake Yesu na tunayowahubirieni ndiyo hii: Mungu ni mwanga na hamna giza lolote ndani yake.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not tell the truth.
Tukisema kwamba tuna umoja naye, na papo hapo twaishi gizani, tutakuwa tumesema uongo kwa maneno na matendo.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Yeshua, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
Lakini tukiishi katika mwanga, kama naye alivyo katika mwanga, basi tutakuwa na umoja sisi kwa sisi, na damu yake Yesu Kristo, Mwanae, inatutakasa dhambi zote.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Tukisema kwamba hatuna dhambi, tunajidanganya wenyewe na ukweli haumo ndani yetu.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Lakini tukiziungama dhambi zetu, basi Mungu ni mwaminifu na mwadilifu, naye atatusamehe dhambi zetu na kututakasa na uovu wote.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Tukisema kwamba hatujatenda dhambi, tutakuwa tumemfanya Mungu mwongo, na neno lake halimo ndani yetu.
