1 John 3
1 Behold, what manner of love, the Father hath bestowed upon us—that, children of God, we should be called, —and such we are! Therefore, the world understandeth us not, because it understood not him.
Amubone luyando Taata ndwakatupa, kuti tuteegwa tulibana baLeza, ino mbombubo mbotubede. Akaambo aka nyika titwiizi, nkambo teyakamuziba pe. Zimwi zyensiku zipati zililembedwe muchiGiliki zilasiya eezi, ezi nzizyo nzituli nzizyo.
2 Beloved! now, are we, children of God; and, not yet, hath it been made manifest, what we shall be, —We know that, if it should be made manifest, like unto him, shall we be, because we shall see him, just as he is.
Nomuyandwa, lino twaba bana ba Leza, alimwi tazina yubununwa nzituyooba nzizyo. Tulizi kuti Kkilisito apamuka, tuyooba mbuli nguwe, nkambo tuyomubona mbubonya mbuli mbwabede.
3 And, whosoever hath this hope on him, is purifying himself, just as, He, is pure.
Woonse ujisi bulangizi obu mulinguwe ulalisalazya mbubonya mbuuli mbwasalala we lwakwe.
4 Whosoever is committing sin, lawlessness also, is committing, and, sin, is, lawlessness;
Woonse uubisya ulimukuchita nchito zitali mumulawu, nkambo chibi nkutaba mumulawu.
5 And ye know, that, He, was made manifest—in order that, our sins, he should take away, and, sin, in him, is there none.
Mulizi kuti Kkilisito wakayubununwa kuchitila kuti agwisye zibi, alimwi mulinguwe tamukwe chibi pe.
6 Whosoever, in him, doth abide, is not sinning: whosoever is sinning, hath not seen him, and doth not understand him.
Taakwe ukkalilila mulinguwe uyoyinkilila kunembo kabisya. Tawope wakamubona akumuziba uyinkilila kunembo akubisya.
7 Dear children! Let, no one, lead you astray! He that is doing righteousness, is, righteous, just as, He, is righteous:
Nobana, mutalekeli muntu naba omwe kuti amuzulwide mukusweeka. Ooyo uuchita bululami uliluleme, mbubonya Kkilisito mbwaluleme.
8 He that is committing sin, is, of the adversary, because, from the beginning, the adversary is sinning. To this end, was the Son of God made manifest, in order that he might undo the works of the adversary.
Oyo uchita chibi uzwa kuli dyabulosi, nkambo dyabulosi wakabisya kuzwa kumatalikilo. Akambo aka Mwana wa Leza wakayubununwa, kuchitila kuti anyoonyone milimu yadyabulosi.
9 Whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing, sin, because, a seed of him, within him, abideth; and he cannot be committing sin, because, of God, hath he been born.
Ooyo iwakazyalwa kuzwa kwa Leza tayinkilili kunembo kabisya pe, nkambo imbuto ya Leza ikkalilide mulinguwe. Takonzyi kwinkililila kunembo kabisya nkambo wakazyalwa a Leza.
10 Herein, are, manifest, the children of God, and the children of the adversary: Whoever is not doing righteousness, is not of God, nor yet he that is not loving his brother.
Muleezi bana ba Leza abana ba dyabulosi balayubununwa. Kufumbwa uutachiti ziluleme tazwi kwa-Leza, nikuba ooyo utayandi munyina.
11 Because, this, is the message which ye have heard from the beginning—that we should be loving one another, —
Aaya ngimakani ngimwakamvwa kuzwa kumatalikilo: Tweelede kuyandana umwi awumwi,
12 Not just as, Cain, was, of the wicked one, and slew his brother! And, for what cause, slew he him? Because, his works, were, wicked, whereas, those of his brother, were, righteous.
tatwelede kuba mbuli Kkayini, wakazwide kumubi alimwi wakajaya munyina. Ino wakamujilaanzi? Nkambo milimu yakwe yakali mibi ino yamunyiina kiluleme.
13 Be not marveling, brethren, if, the world, is hating you:
Mutagambi, nobakwesu, na inyika yamusula.
14 We, know, that we have passed over out of death into life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not, abideth in death.
Tulizi kuti twakiinda kuzwa mulufu akunjila mubuumi, nkambo tulabayanda bakwesu, oyo utakonzyi kuyanda ukkalilide mulufu.
15 Whosoever is hating his brother, is, a murderer; and ye know that, no murderer, hath life age-during, within him abiding. (aiōnios g166)
Kufumbwa uusula munyina mujayi. Mulizi kuti taakwe mujayi ulaabuumi butamani pe bukkede mulinguwe. (aiōnios g166)
16 Hereby, have we come to understand love: in that, He, for us, his life laid down; and, we, ought, for the brethren, our lives to lay down.
Aazezi mbutulwizi luyando, nkambo Kkilisito wakatulazikila buumi bwakwe aansi. Aswebo twelede kulazikila babunyina buumi bwesu aansi.
17 But, whoso hath this world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother having, need, and shutteth up his tender affections from him, how, is, the love of God, abiding in him?
Pele kufumbwa uujisi zintu zyenyika, nabona munyina uubulide, wamujalila moyo waluzyalo, ino luyando lwa Leza lukkalilila byeni muli nguwe?
18 Dear children! Let us not be loving in word, nor yet with the tongue, but in deed and truth.
Bana bangu, luyando lwenu lutabi lwamajwi biyo na kuti alulimi biyo, pele munchiito amubwini.
19 Hereby, shall we get to know, that, of the truth, we are, and, before him, shall persuade our heart;
Mukuchita boobu nitutazibe kuti tuzwa kubwini, alimwi tusimya myoyo yesu kunembo lyakwe.
20 Because, if our own heart condemn us, greater, is God, than our heart, and perceiveth all things.
Na kuti myoyo yesu kitusowa, Leza mupati kwinda myoyo yesu, alimwi ulizi zintu zyoonse.
21 Beloved! if our heart be not condemning us, boldness, have we, towards God;
Nomuyandwa, kuti myoyo yesu kitatusowi, tulabulangizi kuli Leza.
22 And, whatsoever we are asking, we are receiving from him, because, his commandments, are we keeping, and, the things that are pleasing before him, are we doing.
Kufumbwa nzitukumbila tulazitambula kuzwa kuli nguwe, nkambo tuliibamba milawu yakwe akuchita zintu zimubotelezya.
23 And, this, is his commandment, —that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and be loving one another—just as he gave a commandment unto us.
Oyu ngomulawu wakwe: kuti tusyome muzina lya Mwana wakwe Jesu Kkilisito alimwi tuyandane umwi awumwi, mbubonya mbuli mbwakapa mulawu oyu.
24 And, he that keepeth his commandments, in him, abideth, and, he, in him. And, hereby, perceive we, that he abideth in us, by reason of the Spirit which, unto us, he hath given.
Ooyo uubamba milawu ya Leza wakkalilila muli nguwe. Nkaambo kazeezi tulizi kuti ulakkalilila muli ndiswe, kwinda mu Muuya ngwakatupa swebo.
