1 John 3
1 Behold, what loue the Father hath giuen to vs, that we should be called the sonnes of God: for this cause this world knoweth you not, because it knoweth not him.
Mlola, uganu wa Dadi cheuvi ukulu weukita tikemelewa tavana va Chapanga! Na chakaka ndi chativili, ndi muni vandu va pamulima vatimanyili lepi tete ndava muni vammanyili lepi Chapanga.
2 Dearely beloued, nowe are we the sonnes of God, but yet it is not made manifest what we shall be: and we know that when he shalbe made manifest, we shalbe like him: for we shall see him as he is.
Mwava nkozi, hinu tavana va Chapanga, nambu yakona yangamanyikana hotohoto chetivyayi. Nambu timayili kuvya penapo Kilisitu peibwela yati tiwanangana nayu ndava yati tikumlola ngati cheavili.
3 And euery man that hath this hope in him, purgeth himselfe, euen as he is pure.
Na kila mundu mweavi na huvalila yeniyo ndi akujinyambisa, ngati Kilisitu cheanyambiswi.
4 Whosoeuer committeth sinne, transgresseth also the Law: for sinne is the transgression of the Lawe.
Kila mundu mweikita gahakau akugabela malagizu ga Chapanga, ndava kumbudila Chapanga ndi kuyibela malagizu ga Chapanga.
5 And ye knowe that hee was made manifest, that he might take away our sinnes, and in him is no sinne.
Kilisitu abwelili ndava ya kuwusa kumbudila kwitu Chapanga, na mwene ambudili lepi Chapanga.
6 Whosoeuer abideth in him, sinneth not: whosoeuer sinneth, hath not seene him, neither hath knowen him.
Kila mundu mweitama mukuwungana na Kilisitu iyendelela lepi kumbudila Chapanga. Yoyoha mweiyendelela kumbudila Chapanga, amuwene lepi amala ammanyili lepi.
7 Litle children, let no man deceiue you: he that doeth righteousnes, is righteous, as hee is righteous.
Vana vangu, mundu akotoka kuvakonga! Mweikita gabwina kwa Chapanga akumganisa Chapanga muni Kilisitu mmbwina neju palongolo ya Chapanga.
8 He that comitteth sinne, is of the deuil: for the deuill sinneth from the beginning: for this purpose was made manifest that Sonne of God, that he might loose the workes of the deuil.
Mweikita gahakau ndi wa Setani, ndava Muhakau ndi ambudili Chapanga kuhumila utumbula. Ndava yeniyo Mwana wa Chapanga abwelili pamulima muni ahalabisa lihengu loha la Mhakau.
9 Whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: for his seede remaineth in him, neither can hee sinne, because he is borne of God.
Kila mundu mweavili Mwana wa Chapanga akumbudila lepi Chapanga ndava muni wumi wa Chapanga utama mugati yaki ihotola lepi kumbudila Chapanga muni Chapanga ndi Dadi wavi.
10 In this are the children of God knowen, and the children of the deuil: whosoeuer doeth not righteousnesse, is not of God, neither he that loueth not his brother.
Kwa njila yeniyi tihotola kuvamanya vevavili vana va Chapanga na vevavili vana va Setani. Mundu yoyoha mwangakita gegavi gabwina palongolo yaki amala mundu mwanga mgana mlongo waki mwenuyo mwana lepi wa Chapanga.
11 For this is the message, that ye heard from the beginning, that we should loue one another,
Wenuwu ndi ujumbi wemwayuwini kuhumila kadeni kuvya: Tigananayi tete kwa tete.
12 Not as Cain which was of that wicked one, and slewe his brother: and wherefore slewe he him? because his owne workes were euill, and his brothers good.
Mkoto kuvya ngati Kaini mweavili mundu wa yula Muhakau akamukoma mlongo waki Abeli. Ndava ya kiki amkomili? Ndava matendu gaki gavi gahakau, na mlongo waki akitayi gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
13 Marueile not, my brethren, though this world hate you.
Valongo vangu, mkoto kukangasa, ngati vandu va mulima vavavengii nyenye.
14 We know that we are translated from death vnto life, because we loue the brethren: he that loueth not his brother, abideth in death.
Tete timanyi kuvya tihumi mulifwa tiyingi mukulama, ndava tivaganili valongo. Mwene mweangali uganu mwenuyo itama mumakakala ga lifwa.
15 Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a manslayer: and ye know that no manslayer hath eternall life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
Kila mweakumuvenga mlongo waki ndi mkomaji, na nyenye mumanyi kuvya mundu mkomaji avi lepi na wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōnios g166)
16 Hereby haue we perceiued loue, that he layde downe his life for vs: therefore we ought also to lay downe our liues for the brethren.
Ndava ya lenili tiumanyi uganu chauvi, ndi muni Kilisitu awusili wumi waki ndava ya tete, na tete mewa tiwusa wumi witu ndava ya kuvatangatila valongo vitu.
17 And whosoeuer hath this worlds good, and seeth his brother haue neede, and shutteth vp his compassion from him, howe dwelleth the loue of God in him?
Nambu mundu avi na vindu vya pamulima, na akumlola mlongo waki igana, akabela kumuhengela lipyana, wu, ihotola wuli kujova akumgana Chapanga?
18 My litle children, let vs not loue in worde, neither in tongue onely, but in deede and in trueth.
Vana vangu tileka kuvagana vandu kwa kujova ndu nambu tivagana chakaka kwa kulangisa matendu.
19 For thereby we know that we are of the trueth, and shall before him assure our hearts.
Ndi chetihotola kuvya tavandu vetivili na uchakaka, na tivili lepi na wogoyi mumitima yitu palongolo ya Chapanga.
20 For if our heart condemne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things.
Ngati mitima yitu ikutikumbusa lepi kuvya tikumbudila Chapanga, timanyi kuvya Chapanga muvaha kuliku mitima hitu na mwene amanyili goha.
21 Beloued, if our heart condemne vs not, then haue we boldnes toward God.
Vankozi vangu, mitima yitu ngati yikutikumbusa lepi kuvya tikumbudila Chapanga hinu tivya lepi na wogoyi palongolo ya Chapanga.
22 And whatsoeuer we aske we receiue of him, because we keepe his commandements, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.
Na chochoha chetikumuyupa, tichipata kwaki. Tiyuwanila mihilu yaki kukita gala gegakumganisa Chapanga.
23 This is then his commandement, That we beleeue in the Name of his Sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another as hee gaue commandement.
Mihilu yaki ndi iyi, kumsadika Yesu Kilisitu mweavili Mwana waki, na kuganana tavete ngati cheatilagizili.
24 For hee that keepeth his commandements, dwelleth in him, and he in him: and hereby we knowe that hee abideth in vs, euen by that Spirit which he hath giuen vs.
Vandu voha veviyidakila mihilu ya Chapanga vitama mukuwungana nayu. Vene vitama mugati ya Chapanga na Chapanga itama mugati yavi. Tete tigamanyili ago kwa njila ya Mpungu Msopi mweatipelili.
