1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word (logos) of life;
Chelo chakibile tangu mwanzo-chelo chatukiyowine, chelo tukibweni kwa minyo yitu, chelo chatukilolekeya, na maboko yitu iyomwike-kuhusu neno lya ukoto.
2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us; ) (aiōnios g166)
Na wolo ukoto upangite kutangika wazi, na tuubweni, na kuushuhudia, na kubatangulizia ukoto wa milele, ambao ubile kwa Tate na upangika kuyowanika kwitu. (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that all of you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Chelo chatukibweni na kukipekania twakitangaza kwinu kae, ili panga muweze kwembana pamope natwee, na ushirika witu pamope na Tate na mwana wake Yesu Kristo.
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
Na twabaandikia makowe aga ili panga puraha yitu ibe timilifu.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Awoo nga ujumbe twatiupekania boka kwake na kubatangazia: Nnongo ni bweya na nkati yake ntopo libendo hata nchunu.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
Mana twabaya panga tubile na ushirika niywembe na twatyanga mulibendo, twalongela ubocho na twapanga kwaa ukweli.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
Lakini twatyanga katika bweya mana ibile katika bweya, twashirikiana twenga kwa twenga, na myai ya Yesu Kristo, mwana wake yatitutakasa boka sambi yote.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Mana twabaya ntopo sambi, twaibocholea twabene, na kweli ibile kwaa nkati yitu.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Lakini tukizitubu sambi zetu, ywembe ni mwaminifu na haki kutusamiya sambi yitu na kututakasa na ubou woti.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word (logos) is not in us.
Tukibaya panga twapanga kwaa sambi, twampanga ywembe kuwa mbocho, na neno lyake libile kwaa nkati yake.
