1 Yochanan 3
1 See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.
Mulole ni pendo lya namna gani lyatupeile Tate, panga tukemelwa bana ba Nnongo, na yelo nga tubile. Kwa mana yee ulimwengu ututangite kwaa mana umtangite kwaa ywembe,
2 Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.
Apendwa twenga nambeambe ni bana ba Nnongo, na yaridhika kwaa bado jinsi yatubile. Tutangite panga Kristo paabonekana, twalowa fanana naywembe, mana twambweni kati yaabile.
3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Na kila yumo ambaye abile na ujasiri wolo kuhusu muda woisa wauelekezwa kwake, hujitakasa mwene kati ywembe yaabile mtakatifu.
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
Kila undu ywaendelea kupanga sambi kuitekwaniya saliya. Kwa sababu sambi ni kutekwania saliya.
5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
Mutangite Kristo atidhihirishwa ili kuziondoa sambi kabisa.
6 Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.
Ntopo hata yumo ywadumu nkati yake na kuendelea kupanga sambi, Ntopo mundu hata yumo ywadumu katika sambi mana itei amweni au kuntanga ywembe.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Bana bapendwa, kana mkubali kupotoshwa na mundu yeyote. Ywapanga haki ni mwene haki, mana yelo Kristo ywembe abile mwenye haki.
8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Ywapanga sambi ni ba ibilisi, kwa sababu ibilisi ni mpanga sambi tangu mwanzo. Kwa mana yee Mwana wa Nnongo atidhihirishwa ili aweze kuziharibu ili aweze kuziharibu kazi za ibilisi.
9 Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.
Yeyote ywabelekilwe na Nnongo apanga kwaa sambi, kwa sababu mbeyu ya Nnongo utama nkati yake. Aweza kwaa kuendelea kupanga sambi kwa sababu abelekilwe na Nnongo.
10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.
Katika lee bana ba Nnongo na bana ba ibilisi abtangitwe Yeyote ywapanga kwaa chakibile cha haki, cha Nnongo kwaa, wala yolo ambaye aweza kwaa kumpenda nongowe.
11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
Mana wolo nga ujumbe muuyowine boka mwanzo, panga tupalikwa kupendana twenga kwa twenga,
12 unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
abile kwaa kati kaini ambaye abile wa nchela na atimbulaga nongowe. Na kwa mwanja namani atimbulaga? Kwa mana matendo gake gabile mabou, na yalo ya nongowe yabile ya haki.
13 Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
Alongo bango, kana mushangae, mana ulimwengu utabachukiya.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death.
Tutangite tuyomwile boka mu'kiwo na kuyingya mu'ukoto, kwa mana twaapenda alongo. Yeyote ambaye abile kwaa na upendo utama katika kiwo.
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
Mundu yeyote ywamchukia nongowe ni muuaji. Na mutangite kuwa ukoto wa milele utama kwaa nkati ya muuaji. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
Katika lee tutangite lipendo, kwa sababu kristo atiutoa ukoto wake kwa ajili yitu. Twenga tupalikwa kuyatoa maisha yitu kwa ajili ya nongo.
17 But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?
Lakini yeyote ywabile na ilebe, na ambona nongowe mwenye uhitaji, lakini huuzuia moyo wake wa huruma kwa ajili yake; je upendo wa Nnongo utama kinamani nkati yake?
18 My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
Bana bango bapenzi, tupende kwaa mikano wala kwa maneno matupu ila katika vitendo na kweli.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
Katika lee tutangite panga twenga tubile katika kweli, na mioyo yitu inathibitika katika ywembe.
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
mana itei kati mioyo yitu yatuhukumu, Nnongo ni nkolo kuliko mioyo yitu, na ywembe utanga makowe yote.
21 Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness towards God;
Apenzi, mana yitu yatuhukumu, tubile na ujasiri kwa Nnongo.
22 so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
Na chochote tukiloba twakipokya boka kwake, kwa sababu twazikamwa amri yake na tugapanga makowe yagampendeza nnongi yake.
23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah, and love one another, even as he commanded.
Na yee nga amri yake-ya panga tupalika kuamini katika lina lya mwana wake Yesu Kristo ma kupendana twenga kwa twenga kati yatupatia amri yake.
24 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
Ywaziheshimu amri zake utama nkati yake, na Nnongo utama nkati yake. Na kwa sababu yee tutangite panga utama nkati yitu. Kwa yolo Roho ywatupile.
