1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we for ourselves gazed upon, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of Life, —
Echo chakazwa kumatalikilo - nchitwakamvwa, nchitwakabona amenso eesu, nchitwakalanga, alimwi maboko esu akachiguma - chilatala a Jwi lyabuumi.
2 And, the Life, was made manifest, and we have seen, and are bearing witness, and announcing unto you, the Age-abiding Life, which, indeed, was with the Father, and was made manifest unto us; (aiōnios g166)
Alimwi, buumi bwakachitwa kuti buzibwe, alimwi twakabubona, tububeda bukamboni. Tulikumwambila buumi ibutamani, bwakali a Taata, alimwi bwakazibisigwa kuli ndiswe. (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and heard, are we announcing, even unto you, in order that, ye too, may have fellowship with us, and, our own fellowship also, may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Echo nchitwabona akumvwa aswebo tumwambila nchiicho, kuti anywebo mube abulidilano andiswe. Bulidilano bwesu buli a Taata alimwi aMwana wakwe Jesu Kkilisito.
4 And, these things, are we writing, in order that, our joy, may be made full.
Alimwi tulikulemba zintu ezi kulindinywe kuchitila kuti lukondo lwesu luzulile. Amwi malembe eensiku echiGiliki abalika boobu, alimwi tulikumulembela zintu ezi kuchitila kuti lukondo lwenu luzulile.
5 And this is the message which we have heard from him, and are reporting unto you, —that, God, is, light, and in him is, no darkness at all.
Aya ngemakani ngitwakamvwa kulinguwe ngitwamwambila: Leza mumuuni, alimwi mulinguwe tamukwe mudima abunini pe.
6 If we say—We have, fellowship, with him! and, in darkness, are walking, we are dealing falsely, and not doing the truth;
Kuti katwamba kuti tulabulidilano anguwe pele katwenda mumudima, tulikubeja alimwi tatuchiti bwini pe.
7 Whereas, if, in the light, we are walking, as, he, is in the light, we have, fellowship one with another, and, the blood of Jesus his Son, is cleansing us from all sin.
Pele kuti katwenda mumumuni mbuli mbwali mumumuni we, tulabulidilano umwi awumwi, alimwi bulowa bwa Jesu Mwana wakwe bulatusalazya kuzwa kuzibi zyoonse.
8 If we say—Sin, have we none! we are deceiving, ourselves, and, the truth, is not in us.
Kuti twati tatukwe chibi, tulikulyeena lwesu, alimwi bwini tabumo pe mulindiswe.
9 If we are confessing our sins, faithful, is he and, righteous—that he should forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Pele kuti twalyaamba zibi zyesu, ulisyomekede akululama kutulekelela zibi zyesu akutusalazya kuzwa kukutalulama koonse.
10 If we say—We have not sinned! false, are we making, him, and, his word, is not in us.
Kuti twaati taakwe nitwakabisya, twamuchita mubeji, aboobo ijwi lyakwe talimo pe muli ndiswe.
