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.
Mulole vuvuvagane vuki uwatupile Udaada, ukuta tukhwelangiwa vana va Nguluve, nulu vutuliwe. Ukhukhongana niel ikilunga sakhitu manyile ulwakuva sakhikhamanye umwene.
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.
Vagane ufwe lino tulivana va Nguluve ulu yikhale ukhuvoneka umuyakhile tuvela. Tlumanyile ukhuta ukleste yakhima ivinekha yatukywanana numwene. Ulwakuva yatukummbona umwavelile.
3 And, whosoever hath this hope on him, is purifying himself, just as, He, is pure.
Khilamunu uvyalienuvukhifu uvu kwu nsiekhe ugulonchiwe khumwene, ikhevalancha umwene nduvu avalile umwene imbalanche.
4 Whosoever is committing sin, lawlessness also, is committing, and, sin, is, lawlessness;
Khila munu uvikhunchivomba imbivi idenya indagilo. Ulwakuva imbivi kwukwudenya indangielo.
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.
Mulumanyile ukilisti avonike ukhuta anchihenche imbivi. Mugaati mumwene mulienchila mbivi. Asikhuli nayuma uvikhiyu mieincha ngaati mumwene nukunchivomba imbivi.
6 Whosoever, in him, doth abide, is not sinning: whosoever is sinning, hath not seen him, and doth not understand him.
Asikhuli umunu uvikhiyumielincha mumbivi ingave ambwene umwene apange amanyile.
7 Dear children! Let, no one, lead you astray! He that is doing righteousness, is, righteous, just as, He, is righteous:
Mwivana mwivagane muliedikhaga ukhusiyoviwa numi. Uvivombo ielweli alienielweli, nduve ukliste vope alienielweli.
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.
Uvivomba imbivi uywa va ntavangwa, ulwakuva untavangwa ivomba imbivi ukhuhuma kuvutengulielo kutale. Ulwakuva kunjiela eiye umwana va Nguluve avoneke ukuta anchi nange imbombo nchutavangwa.
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.
Uviaholiwe nu Nguluve sivomba imbivi, ulwakuva eimbeyu ya Nguluve yietama mugaati mumwene. Sakhawesye ukuvomba imbivi ulwakuva aholiwe nu Nguluve.
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.
Mu eile avana va Nguluve na vana va ntavangwa. vimanyanyakhikha. Vie voni uvisivomba ikyayilweli a vanguluve, nula uviesikugaana ulukololwe.
11 Because, this, is the message which ye have heard from the beginning—that we should be loving one another, —
Ulwnkuva uvu vuvufumbwe uwatupulikhe ukhuhuma kuvutengulilo, utakuta panogile ukughana yufwe kwa yufwe.
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.
Sayieihine ndu kweili uviale vambivi akabudi kwa lukololwe. Khiki ambudile? Ulwakuva imbombo cha mwene nchale mbivi; Ni mbombo nchila incha lukololwe nchale nchayilweli.
13 Be not marveling, brethren, if, the world, is hating you:
Valulokololwango, mulekhe ukugangalukha, khingave iekhilunga khikhuvavipila.
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.
Tulumanyile ukhuta tuhumile mumbufwe nukwingiele mumbwumi, ulwakuva tuvaganile avalukhololwetu. Uviavenchaga inchila lugano inchiga mumbufwe.
15 Whosoever is hating his brother, is, a murderer; and ye know that, no murderer, hath life age-during, within him abiding. (aiōnios g166)
Umunu uviavenchaga angave ikhunkalalila ulukhololwe imbudi. Mulumanyile ukhuta uwumi wasikhunchoni savutama mumunu umbudi. (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.
Mu eile tulumanyile ulugano ulwakhuva ukuklisti aihuminche uwumi wa mwene pakhutupoka ufwe. Nayufwe panogile ukwihumya ukhuvatanga avalukhololweitu.
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?
Uviavenchaga eingave alinifiu ikhumbona ulukhololwe va mwene, uvialinchifinu, pwu inumbula iyamwene sayikhumbonela ikhisa, pwu ulugano lwa Nguluve vutama ndakhikhi mumwene?
18 Dear children! Let us not be loving in word, nor yet with the tongue, but in deed and truth.
Vagane vana vango, tulekhe ukhuganana khumilomo na mamenyuanganyavuvule, tugaanage mumbombo na muyielweli.
19 Hereby, shall we get to know, that, of the truth, we are, and, before him, shall persuade our heart;
Mu eili tulumanyile ukhuta uywe tulimuayielweli, ninumbula nchieto nchievonikhe mumwene.
20 Because, if our own heart condemn us, greater, is God, than our heart, and perceiveth all things.
Ingave inumbula nchieto nchiekhutuliega, Unguluve imbaha ukhulutiliela inumbula nchietu, nu mwene anchiemanyile nchooni.
21 Beloved! if our heart be not condemning us, boldness, have we, towards God;
Vagaane einave inumbula nchieto sanchiekhutuhiga tulienuwakifu kwa Nguluve.
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.
Khiukyoni ikyutudoova tukyupilila ukhuhuma khumwene, ulwakhuva tukwibata indagilo ncha mwene nukhuvoomba inchienogile pamiho gamwene.
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.
Nulu lyulu lagilo lwa mweene-ukhuta panogile ukwideekha munditawa lya mweene Uyeesu Kriste nu khuganana yufwe kwa yufwe nduvuatupile ululagilo lwa mwene.
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.
Uvieikhunchikonga indagilo nchamwene vietama mugate mumwene. nu Nguluve itama mgati mwamweene. Na khunchiela eiye tulumanyile ukhta itama mgati ndyufwe, Khumepo ula uvyatupile.
