1 John 3
1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God, and this is what we are. For this reason, the world does not know us, because it did not know him.
Tarirai kukura kworudo rwatakaitirwa naBaba, kuti tinzi vana vaMwari! Uye ndizvo zvatiri! Chinoita kuti nyika itadze kutiziva ndechokuti haina kumuziva iye.
2 Beloved, we are now children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we will be. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.
Vadikani, zvino tiri vana vaMwari, uye zvatichazova zvichigere kuzivikanwa. Asi tinoziva kuti paachaonekwa, isu tichafanana naye, nokuti tichamuona sezvaari.
3 Everyone who has this hope fixed on him purifies himself just as he is pure.
Mumwe nomumwe ane tariro iyi maari anozvichenesa, sezvo iye akachena.
4 Everyone who sins is committing acts of lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness.
Munhu wose anotadza anodarika murayiro, zvechokwadi, chivi ndiko kudarika murayiro.
5 You know that Christ was revealed in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
Asi munoziva kuti iye akaonekwa kuitira kuti abvise zvivi zvedu. Uye maari hamuna chivi.
6 No one who remains in him will keep on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen him or known him.
Hakuna munhu anogara maari anoramba achingotadza. Hakuna munhu anoramba achitadza, kana akamuona kana kuti akamuziva.
7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.
Vana vanodiwa, musarega munhu upi zvake achikutsausai. Uyo anoita zvakanaka, akarurama, saiye akarurama.
8 The one who commits sin is from the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God was revealed, so that he would destroy the devil's works.
Uyo anoita zvakaipa ndowadhiabhori, nokuti dhiabhori akanga achingotadza kubva pakutanga. Mwanakomana waMwari akaonekwa nokuda kwaizvozvi kuti aparadze basa radhiabhori.
9 Whoever has been born from God does not continue to sin because God's seed remains in him. He cannot continue to sin because he has been born of God.
Hakuna munhu akaberekwa naMwari anoramba achiita chivi, nokuti mbeu yaMwari inogara maari; haangarambi achingotadza, nokuti akaberekwa naMwari.
10 In this the children of God and children of the devil are revealed: Whoever does not do what is righteous is not from God, neither is the one who does not love his brother.
Ndiwo maziviro edu kuti vana vaMwari ndevapi uye kuti vana vadhiabhori ndevapi: Ani naani asingaiti zvakarurama haasi mwana waMwari; uyewo uyo asingadi hama yake.
11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
Iri ndiro shoko ramakanzwa kubva pakutanga: Tinofanira kudanana.
12 We should not be like Cain, who was from the evil one and murdered his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous.
Musaita saKaini, akanga ari wowakaipa uye akaponda mununʼuna wake. Uye akamuurayireiko? Nokuti mabasa ake akanga akaipa uye omununʼuna wake akanga akarurama.
13 Do not be amazed, my brothers, if the world hates you.
Musashamiswa, hama dzangu, kana nyika ichikuvengai.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death.
Tinoziva kuti takabva murufu tikaenda muupenyu, nokuti tinoda hama dzedu. Ani naani asingadi anogara murufu.
15 Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer. You know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. (aiōnios g166)
Ani naani anovenga hama yake imhondi, uye munoziva kuti hakuna mhondi ino upenyu husingaperi mairi. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we know love, because Christ laid down his life for us. We also ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
Aya ndiwo maziviro edu kuti rudo rwakadini: Jesu Kristu akapa upenyu hwake nokuda kwedu. Uye isu tinofanira kupa upenyu hwedu nokuda kwehama dzedu.
17 But whoever has the world's goods, sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart of compassion from him, how does the love of God remain in him?
Kana munhu ane pfuma uye akaona hama yake ichishayiwa, asi akasainzwira tsitsi, rudo rwaMwari rungagara maari seiko?
18 My dear children, let us not love in word nor in tongue, but in actions and truth.
Vana vanodikanwa, ngatiregerei kuda namashoko kana norurimi, asi namabasa uye nechokwadi.
19 It is by this we know that we are from the truth, and we assure our hearts before him.
Zvino, ndiwo maziviro edu kuti tiri vechokwadi, uye kuti mwoyo yedu inozorora sei pamberi pake
20 For if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and he knows all things.
pose patinopiwa mhosva nemwoyo yedu. Nokuti Mwari mukuru kupfuura mwoyo yedu, uye anoziva zvinhu zvose.
21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.
Shamwari dzinodikanwa, kana mwoyo yedu isingatipi mhosva, tinako kuvimba pamberi paMwari
22 Whatever we ask we will receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing before him.
uye tinogamuchira kubva kwaari zvose zvatinokumbira, nokuti tinoteerera mirayiro yake uye tinoita zvinomufadza.
23 This is his commandment: that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he gave us this commandment.
Uye uyu ndiwo murayiro wake: kutenda muzita roMwanakomana wake, Jesu Kristu, uye nokuda mumwe nomumwe wedu sezvaakatirayira.
24 The one who keeps God's commandments remains in him, and God remains in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit whom he gave to us.
Avo vanoteerera mirayiro yake vanogara maari, naiye mavari. Uye izvi ndizvo zvinoita kuti tizive kuti iye anogara matiri: Tinozviziva noMweya waakatipa.
