1 John 3
1 Behold what love has given to us the Father, that children of God we may be called — (and we are! *NO) Because of this the world not knows (us, *NK+O) because not it knew Him.
Tarirai kuti rudo rwakadini Baba rwavakatipa, kuti tinzi vana vaMwari. Nekuda kwaizvozvi nyika haitizivi, nokuti haina kumuziva iye.
2 Beloved, now children of God are we, and not yet has been revealed what we will be; We know (now *k) that when He shall appear, like Him we will be, for we will behold Him even as He is.
Vadikanwi, ikozvino tiri vana vaMwari, uye zvichigere kuratidzwa kuti tichazovei. Asi tinoziva kuti kana achizoratidzwa, tichafanana naye; nokuti tichamuona sezvaakaita.
3 And everyone who is having hope this in Him purifies himself even as He pure is.
Uye umwe neumwe ane tariro iyi maari anozvichenesa, sezvaakachena iye.
4 Everyone who is committing sin also lawlessness commits, and sin is lawlessness.
Umwe neumwe anoita chivi anoitawo kusava nemurairo; uye chivi ndiko kusava nemurairo.
5 And you know that He appeared so that the sins (of us *K) He may take away, and sin in Him not there is.
Uye munoziva kuti iye wakaratidzwa kuti abvise zvivi zvedu; uye zvivi hazvimo maari.
6 Anyone in Him abiding not sins; anyone who is sinning not has seen Him nor has he known Him.
Ani nani anogara maari haatadzi; ani nani anotadza haana kumuona, kana kumuziva.
7 (little children, *NK+o) no one should lead astray you; who are practicing righteousness righteous is even as He righteous is.
Vana vadiki, kusava neanokunyengerai; uyo anoita kururama wakarurama, saiye akarurama;
8 The [one] practicing sin of the devil is, because from [the] beginning the devil has been sinning. For this [reason] was revealed the Son of God so that He may destroy the works of the devil.
uyo anoita chivi anobva kuna dhiabhorosi, nokuti dhiabhorosi anotadza kubva pakutanga. Nechikonzero ichi Mwanakomana waMwari wakaratidzwa kuti aparadze mabasa adhiabhorosi.
9 Anyone who born of God sin not practices, because seed of Him in him abides; and not he is able to continue sinning, because of God he has been born.
Ani nani wakaberekwa naMwari haaiti chivi, nokuti mbeu yake inogara maari; zvino haagoni kutadza, nokuti wakaberekwa naMwari.
10 Through this manifest are the children of God and the children of the devil. Anyone not practicing righteousness not is of God, and also the [one] not loving the brother of him;
Mune izvozvi vana vaMwari nevana vadhiabhorosi vanoratidzwa; ani nani asingaiti zvakarurama haabvi kuna Mwari, neasingadi hama yake.
11 For this is the message that you have heard from [the] beginning that we may love one another;
Nokuti iri ndiro shoko ramakanzwa kubva pakutanga, kuti tidanane;
12 not even as Cain [who] of the evil [one] was and he slew the brother of him; And because of what he slayed him? Because the works of him evil were, those however of the brother of him righteous.
kwete saKaini wakabva kune wakaipa, ndokuuraya munin'ina wake. Zvino wakamuurayirei? Nokuti mabasa ake akange akaipa, asi emunin'ina wake akange akarurama.
13 (And *n) not do be surprised, brothers (of mine *K) if hates you the world.
Musashamisika, hama dzangu, kana nyika ichikuvengai.
14 We ourselves know that we have passed from death to life, because we love [our] brothers; The [one] not loving (the brother *K) abides in death.
Isu tinoziva kuti takapfuura murufu tikapinda muupenyu, nokuti tinoda hama. Asingadi hama anogara murufu.
15 Everyone who is hating the brother of him a murderer is; and you know that any murderer not has life eternal in (him *NK+o) abiding. (aiōnios g166)
Ani nani anovenga hama yake imhondi; uye munoziva kuti hakutongorina mhondi ine upenyu husingaperi hunogara mairi. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we have known love because He for us the life of Him laid down; and we ourselves ought for [our] brothers [our] lives (to lay down. *N+kO)
Neizvi tinoziva rudo rwaMwari, nokuti iye wakatiradzikira pasi upenyu hwake; nesu tinofanira kuradzikira pasi hama upenyu.
17 Who[ever] now maybe may have the goods of the world and may see the brother of him need having and he may close up the heart of him from him, how the love of God abides in him?
Asi ani nani ane nhumbi dzenyika, uye achiona hama yake ichishaiwa, ndokumupfigira tsitsi dzake, rudo rwaMwari rwunogara sei maari?
18 Little children (of mine *K) not we may love in word nor in tongue but in action and in truth.
Vana vangu vadiki, ngatirege kuda pashoko kana parurimi, asi pazviito nepachokwadi.
19 And by this (we will know *N+kO) that of the truth we are and before Him we will assure (heart *N+kO) of us,
Uye neizvi tinoziva kuti tiri vechokwadi, uye tichavimbisa moyo yedu pamberi pake.
20 that if shall condemn [us] our heart, that greater than is the God of the heart of us and He knows all things.
Nokuti kana moyo wedu uchitipa mhosva, Mwari mukuru kumoyo wedu, uye anoziva zvinhu zvese.
21 Beloved, if the heart of us not shall condemn (us *ko) confidence we have toward God,
Vadikanwi, kana moyo wedu usingatipi mhosva, tine chivimbo pamberi paMwari;
22 and whatever (maybe *NK+o) we shall ask we receive (from *N+kO) Him, because the commandments of Him we keep and the [things] pleasing before Him we do.
uye chipi nechipi chatinokumbira, tinogamuchira kubva kwaari, nokuti tinochengeta mirairo yake, uye tinoita zvinhu zvinofadza pamberi pake.
23 And this is the commandment of Him that (we may believe *NK+o) in the name of the Son of Him Jesus Christ and we may love one another even as He gave [the] commandment to us.
Uye uyu ndiwo murairo wake, kuti titende kuzita reMwanakomana wake Jesu Kristu, uye tidanane, sezvaakatipa murairo.
24 And the [one] keeping the commandments of Him in Him abides, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom to us He has given.
Uye uyo anochengeta mirairo yake anogara maari, naiye maari. Neizviwo tinoziva kuti anogara matiri, kubva paMweya waakatipa.
